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}

Work out the unknown angles. Give reasons for each answer.
zalisa [80]
A)

Because the sum of angles in a triangle must equal 180° we can say:

62+α+90=180

α+152=180

α=28°

b)

Since all sides have equal length, all angles must have equal measure.  (This is an equilateral triangle).  And again, because the sum of the angle must be 180° we can say:

b+b+b=180

3b=180

b=60°

IF THE RATIO IN A VALENTINE'S
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

12 dark chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are 2x milk chocolates and 3x dark chocolates.

Total no of milk chocolates = 8

ATQ,

2x = 8

x = 4

Dark chocolates = 3x

= 3(4)

= 12

Hence, there are 12 dark chocolates.

OlgaM077 [116]

In this question , it is given that the land is 1.19 hectares. And the land developer splitting it into 9 identical properties . So to find the size of each property, we need to divide 1.19 by 9 and on doing that, we will get 0.13 hectares .

So the size of each property is 0.13 hectares .

Amelia makes necklaces using beads and wire. She starts with 6 feet of wire. How many necklaces can she make?
navik [9.2K]

If  Amelia  starts with 6 feet of wire, the amount of necklaces that she can make is 18.

<h3>What is the necklaces  about?</h3>

Jewelry wire is known to be a kind of a wire that can be either a copper, brass, or others that are often used in jewelry making.

Note that  Wire is seen today as a single unit, and it is also seen to be cylindrical, elongated part of drawn metal.

Using the table:

6  ÷ 1/3

= 6 x 3

= 18

Therefore, If  Amelia  starts with 6 feet of wire, the amount of necklaces that she can make is 18.

Therefore, option A is correct.
