The authors of a certain paper describe a study to evaluate the effect of mobile phone use by taxi drivers in Greece. Fifty taxi

drivers drove in a driving simulator where they were following a lead car. The drivers were asked to carry on a conversation on a mobile phone while driving, and the following distance (the distance between the taxi and the lead car) was recorded. The sample mean following distance was 3.70 meters and the sample standard deviation was 1.17 meters.
a. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for m, the population mean following distance while talking on a mobile phone for the population of taxi drivers.
b. What assumption must be made to generalize this confidence interval to the population of all taxi drivers in Greece?

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean (μ) = 3.7 m, standard deviation (σ) = 1.17 m, confidence (C) = 95% = 0.95, sample size (n) = 50

a) α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

The z score of α/2 is the same as the z score of 0.475 (0.5 - 0.025) which is 1.96. Hence:

The margin of error (E) = z_\frac{\alpha}{2} *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}  }=1.96*\frac{1.17}{\sqrt{50} } =0.32

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 3.7 ± 0.32 = (3.38, 4.02)

b) This means that we are 95% sure that any distance between the taxi and the lead car is between 3.38 m and 4.02 m

Subtract the equations straight down. So we'll subtract the x terms together
5x - 5x = 0x = 0 
meaning the x terms effectively go away after subtraction

Then we do the y terms together in the same exact order
y-3y = -2y

Then finally the right hand side values
6 - (-5) = 6+5 = 11

All of that work done indicates we have 0x-2y = 11 which is the same as -2y = 11. Divide both sides by -2 and we end up with y = -11/2

This answer isn't listed so I'm thinking there's a typo your teacher made somewhere.

188 ASU students, faculty and staff were randomly surveyed and asked if they have an ASU parking decal, ride their bike to campu
bulgar [2K]
Part A.
The venn diagram is attached. In the venn diagram, circle A represent the number of responds that have an ASU parking deal. Circle B represent the number of respondents that ride their bike to campus and circle C represent the number of respondents that that ride the Light Rail.

Part B.
From the venn diagram, the number of respondents that ride the Light Rail and ride their bike to campus is given by 39 – 12 = 27

Part C.
From the venn diagram, the number of respondents that only have an ASU parking decal is given by <span>77 – 12 – 8 – 6 = 51

Part D.
The number of respondents that ride the Light Rail or have an ASU decal is given by the sum of the number of respondents that ride the Light Rail only and those that have an ASU parking decal and those that have both ASU parking decal and ride their bike to school.
This is given by 51 + 8 + 28 = 87.

Part E.
The venn diagram showing the area </span><span>that represents people who have a parking decal or who ride their bike to campus but who do not ride the Light Rail</span> sgaded is attached.

1- un tinaco se llena en 8 horas utilizando 4 llaves. en cuanto tiempo se llenara con 7 llaves?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: 4.6 horas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Podemos calcular el tiempo necesario por una llave:

si sabemos que se llena en 8 horas con 4 llaves, entonces una sola llave va a tardar 4 veces 8 horas en llenar el tinaco, es decir, una sola llave tarda:

4*8h = 32 horas

ahora, si usamos 7 llaves, el tiempo necesario va a ser un septimo de eso:

(32 h por llave)/(7 llaves) = 32/7 horas = 4.6 horas.
