An electronic device factory is studying the length of life of the electronic components they produced. The manager selects two

assembly lines and takes all samples on those two lines. He got a sample of 500 electronic components and records the length of life in the life test. A histogram indicates that the lifespans have moderate right skew. From the sample he found the average length of life was 200,000 hours and that the standard deviation was 1,000 hours. He wants to find the confidence interval for the average length of life of the electronic components they produced. Based on the information, what advice will you give to him

Answer:

The confidence interval will be given by:

200000 \pm 44.72z, in which z is related to the confidence level.

For a confidence level of x%, z is the value in the z-table that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{1 - z}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In the context of this problems:

It means that the sampling distributions of the sample mean of 500 components will be approximated normal, with mean 200,000 and standard deviation s = \frac{1000}{\sqrt{500}} = 44.72

To build the confidence interval:

The confidence interval for the average length of life of the electronic components they produced will be given by:

200000 \pm 44.72z, in which z is related to the confidence level.

For a confidence level of x%, z is the value in the z-table that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{1 - z}{2}

A tutor work with 3 students. The oldest student is 6 years oldder then the middle student, and the youngest student is 3 years
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

9 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)

O = M + 6

Y = M - 3

30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3)  ... combine like terms

30 = 3M + 3  ... subtract 3 from both sides

27 = 3M  ... divide both sides by 3

9 = M

Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.
