Answer:

The margin of error of u is of 3.8.

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean u is between 27.4 minutes and 35 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 28 - 1 = 27

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 27 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 2.7707

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.7707\frac{7.3}{\sqrt{28}} = 3.8

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The margin of error of u is of 3.8.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 31.2 - 3.8 = 27.4 minutes

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 31.2 + 3.8 = 35 minutes

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean u is between 27.4 minutes and 35 minutes.

Enunciado:Si una empresa determina que sus costos obedecen a un modelo lineal y además sabe que si produce $10$ unidades sus cos
const2013 [10]

Responder:

y = 200x + 2000

Explicación paso a paso:

Deje que la ecuación lineal se exprese como y = mx + c

m es la pendiente

c es la intersección

Si la empresa produce $ 10 unidades, sus costos totales son $ 4000 dólares y si produce $ 15 unidades sus costos ascienden a $ 5000 dólares, entonces podemos representar esto como puntos de coordenadas;

(10,4000) y (15,5000)

Conseguir la pendiente

m = 5000-4000 / 15-10

m = 1000/5

m = 200

Obtener la intersección c

Sustituya m = 2000 y el punto (10, 4000) en la fórmula y = MX + c

4000 = 200 (10) + c

4000-2000 = c

c = 2000

Sustituya m = 200 y c = 2000 en la ecuación y = mx + c

y = 200x + 2000

Por tanto, la expresión lineal requerida es y = 200x + 2000
