The life in hours of a 75-watt light bulb is known to be normally distributed with standard deviation σ = 25 hours. A random sam

ple of 20 bulbs results in a mean life of 1014 hours. Determine the following: (a) Construct a 95% two-sided CI on the mean life. (b) Construct a 95% lower confidence bound on the mean life.

Answer: a) (1008.34,1019.658) b) (1009.24,1018.76)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 75

mean = 1014 hours

Standard deviation = 25 hours

At 95% two sided , z = 1.96

So, confidence interval would be

\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1014\pm 1.96\dfrac{25}{\sqrt{75}}\\\\=1014\pm 5.658\\\\=(1014-5.658,1014+5.658)\\\\=(1008.34,1019.658)

(b) Construct a 95% lower confidence bound on the mean life.

z = 1.65

So, confidence interval would be

\bar{x}\pm z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1014\pm 1.65\times \dfrac{25}{\sqrt{75}}\\\\=1014\pm 4.76\\\\=(1014-4.76,1014+4.76)\\\\=(1009.24,1018.76)

Hence, a) (1008.34,1019.658) b) (1009.24,1018.76)

Find an nth degree polynomial function with real coefficients satisfying the given conditions.
damaskus [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

Our roots are 3, and i so our roots form

will be

(x - 3)(x - i)

Since i is one root, it conjugate, must be the other.

so we have

(x - 3)(x - i)(x + i)

Simplify

( {x}^{2}  + 1)(x - 3)

{x}^{3}  - 3 {x}^{2}  + x - 3

So the function is

x {}^{3}  - 3 {x}^{2}  + x - 3

The state fair charges $14 for
Scrat [10]

Answer:

s=6r+14

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

s=mr+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

The slope is equal to

m=\$6\ per\ ride

The y-intercept is equal to

b=\$14

so

substitute the given values

s=6r+14
