The manager of a grocery store has selected a random sample of 100 customers. The average length of time it took these 100 custo

mers to check out was 3.0 minutes. It is known that the standard deviation of the checkout time is 1 minute. The 95% confidence interval for the average checkout time for all customers is ________?

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (2.804;3.196)    

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=3.0 represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=1 represent the population standard deviation

n=100 represent the sample size  

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

3.0-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=2.804    

3.0+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}=3.196

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (2.804;3.196)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-1, 4) and (0, 2).
arsen [322]

Answer:

y=-2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

<u>1) Determine the slope</u>

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where the two given points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (-1, 4) and (0, 2)

=\frac{2-4}{0-(-1)}\\=\frac{-2}{0+1}\\=\frac{-2}{1}\\= -2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=-2x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept</u>

y=-2x+b

Recall that the y-intercept is the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis, meaning that the y-intercept occurs when x is equal to 0.

One of the given points is (0,2). Notice how y=2 when x=0. Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 2.

Plug this back into the equation:

y=-2x+2

I hope this helps!

Can someone please answer! There is a picture. Thank you!!!!
almond37 [142]
In the left/right direction, your circle (at it's biggest point) goes from -5 to 5
the middle of -5 and 5 is 0
so the center of your circle should have a x = 0
in the (x , y) point

the only option that has
(0, something)
is C
Therefore your answer is C
