As a store manger you would like to find out the average time it takes to unload the truck which delivers the merchandise for yo

ur store. For this purpose, you have taken a random sample of 35 days and found the average unload time to be 204 minutes for the sample. You also found that the standard deviation is 30 minutes for the sample. Find the upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time. Round the answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is 264.97 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, but not for the population, so we use the students t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 35 - 1 = 35

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 34 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.975([tex]t_{975}). So we have T = 2.0322

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.0322*30 = 60.97

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 204 + 60.97 = 264.97

The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is 264.97 minutes

Answer:

The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is 214.30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a store manger you would like to find out the average time it takes to unload the truck which delivers the merchandise for your store.

For this purpose, you have taken a random sample of 35 days and found the average unload time to be 204 minutes for the sample. You also found that the standard deviation is 30 minutes for the sample.

Assuming the population has a normal distribution.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is given by;

       P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample average unload time = 204 minutes

            s = sample standard deviation = 30 minutes

            n = sample of days = 35

            \mu = population average unload time

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used t statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population​ mean, \mu is ;

P(-2.032 < t_3_4 < 2.032) = 0.95  {As the critical value of t at 34 degree of

                                              freedom are -2.032 & 2.032 with P = 2.5%}

P(-2.032 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.032) = 0.95

P( -2.032 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X - \mu} < 2.032 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \bar X-2.032 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+2.032 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for </u>\mu = [ \bar X-2.032 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+2.032 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                              = [ 204-2.032 \times {\frac{30}{\sqrt{35} } } , 204+2.032 \times {\frac{30}{\sqrt{35} } } ]

                                              = [193.69 , 214.30]

<em>Hence, 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is [193.69 , 214.30].</em>

So, the upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is 214.30 minutes.

This is (compound) probability: Picking two numbers from 1-10 and getting a multiple of 3 both times.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

There are 10 counters in the bag and you want the 4

As their is only one for the probability is

1/10

There are now 9 counters left in the bag.

You only want the even ones , which are 2 6 8 and 10 ( four has been taken out)

There are only four even counters in the bag of nine counters so the probability is

4/9

As you want both of these to occur, you need to multiply them

1/10 x 4/9 = 49/90

Use the Hinge Theorem to compare the measures of AD and BD.<br><br> I need help now!!! Please!!!!
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The length AD is greater than length BD.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hinge theorem states that if two triangles have two congruent sides then the triangle with the larger angle between those sides will have longer third side

In ΔACD and ΔBCD

AC = BC\\\angle ACD = 70 \angle BCD = 68

So side opposite to greater angle is greater side

Therefore, length AD is greater than length BD.

What is the product of −3 1/4 and −1 1/2 ? Enter your answer as a mixed number, in simplified form, in the box.
EastWind [94]
Hi DerpyIntelligence!
The product is addition so we do -3 1/4+-1 1/2. We solve it like this. We separate each part like this (-3)+(-1/4)+(-1)+(-1/2) then we solve the whole parts (-3)+(-1)=(-4). Next we find out the LCD of (-1/4) and (-1/2) which is 4 so we change (-1/2) to (-2/4) than we add (-1/4) which is (-3/4). Finally we add the wholes to the fractions (-4)+(-3/4)=(-4 3/4)
Hope this helps!
