A girl wants to count the steps of a moving escalator which is going up. If she is going up on it, she counts 60 steps. If she i

s walking down, taking the same time per step, then she counts 90 steps. How many steps would she have to take in either direction, if the escalator were standing still?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

a) \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{20.09} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{1.65}

363.90 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 4430.80

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

19.08 \leq \sigma \leq 66.56

b) For this case we are 98% confidence that the true deviation for the population of interest is between 19.08 and 66.56

Step-by-step explanation:

423.6, 487.3, 453.2, 402.9, 483.0, 477.7, 442.3, 418.4, 459.0

Part a

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}

On this case we need to find the sample standard deviation with the following formula:

s=sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^8 (x_i -\bar x)^2}{n-1}}
And in order to find the sample mean we just need to use this formula:
[tex]\bar x =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}

The sample deviation for this case is s=30.23

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=9-1=8

The Confidence interval is 0.98 or 98%, the value of \alpha=0.02 and \alpha/2 =0.01, and the critical values are:

\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=20.09

\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=1.65

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

\frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{20.09} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{1.65}

363.90 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 4430.80

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

19.08 \leq \sigma \leq 66.56

Part b

For this case we are 98% confidence that the true deviation for the population of interest is between 19.08 and 66.56

A family built a house in a beach resort area. In 1990, the house was 430 ft from the water. With erosion, the house was 400 ft
neonofarm [45]

We develop an equation for the given situation by first writing the general equation for lines,

                                y = mx + b

Substituting to this given the values given above,

(1990)                      430 = b

(2000)                      400 = m(10) + 430

The value of m from the equation in 2000 is -3. Thus, the equation of that relates the variables is,

                              y = -3x + 430

Is this right and if it's not could you please tell me the answer
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3x+ 5 = 6 . Correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number.

          The number tripled: 3x

Tripled and increased by : 3x + 5

                                Equals 6: 3x+ 5 = 6

Correct.
