Randomly selected students participated in an experiment to test their ability to determine when one minute​ (or sixty​ seconds)

has passed. Forty students yielded a sample mean of 59.8 seconds. Assuming that sigmaequals9.2 ​seconds, construct and interpret a 90​% confidence interval estimate of the population mean of all students.

Answer: (57.41,\ 62.19)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n=40

Sample mean : \overline{x}=59.8\text{ seconds}

Standard deviation : \sigma =9.2\text{ seconds}

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.9=0.1

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

Formula to find the confidence interval for population mean :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=59.8\pm(1.645)\dfrac{9.2}{\sqrt{40}}\\\\\approx59.8\pm2.39\\\\=(59.8-2.39,\ 59.8+2.39)\\\\=(57.41,\ 62.19)

Hence, a 90​% confidence interval estimate of the population mean of all students = (57.41,\ 62.19)

The rabbit population of Springfield, Ohio was 144,000 in 2016. It is expected to decrease by about 7.2% per year. Use an expone
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The estimated Rabbit population by the year 2036 is 32,309 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are expected to use the exponential decay function to estimate population of rabbits in a certain year.

An exponential decay function refers to an equation that estimates the value of a parameter(dependent parameter) at a certain value of the independent parameter given that the independent parameter decreases at a certain constant rate.

Firstly, what we need to do is to write the decay function. To do this, we shall be representing the population by variable P, the rate by r , the number of years by t and the initial population by I

Mathematically, we have the decay function as;

P = I(1-r)^t

From the question, we identify these values as;

P = 144,000 : r = 7.2% =  7.2/100 = 0.072, I = 144,00 and t = 2036-2016 = 20 years

Let's plug these values;

P = 144,000(1-0.072)^20

P = 144,000(0.928)^20

P=  32,309
