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)

Which expression is equivalent to (-4y - x) - (3y - 9x)
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: -7y+8x

Step-by-step explanation: I assume you mean to simplify

Step 1: Remove parentheses : -4y - x - (3y - 9x)

Step 2: -(3y - 9x) = -3y + 9x

Step 3: Simplify: -4y - x - 3y +9x

Step 4: Answer: -7y+8x

[100 POINTS] What is the measure of the arc from A to B that does not pass through C?
Nana76 [90]

Applying the inscribed angle theorem, the measure of arc AB that doesn't go through point C is: 100 degrees.

<h3>What is the Inscribed Angle Theorem?</h3>

Based on the inscribed angle theorem, if ∅ is the inscribed angle measure, the measure of the central angle subtended by the same arc equals 2(∅).

m∠BAC = 40 degrees.

Central angle = 2(40) = 80 degrees [based on the inscribed angle theorem]

Corresponding arc BC = 80 degrees.

Arc AC through point B = 180 degrees [half circle]

Arc AB = 180 - arc BC = 180 - 80 = 100 degrees.

What is the slope of <br><br> 12y=(-24)x
White raven [17]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve so that y is alone on its side of the equation by dividing both sides of the equation by 12.

12y=(-24)x

y=(-2)x

Therefore, the slope must be -2.
