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

How are sets and subsets related
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A set is a well-defined collection of objects. Each object in a set is called an element of the set. Two sets are equal if they have exactly the same elements in them. ... If every element in Set A is also in Set B, then Set A is a subset of Set B

NASA launched another space probe, Voyager 2 on August 20, 1977. Voyager 2 is a bit slower than Voyager 1 only traveling 15.4 km
slava [35]

Using proportions, it is found that it will take Voyager 2 82,900 years from its location to travel to the second closest star.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

In this problem, the Voyager 2 travels 15.4 km/s. In kilometers per year, considering that one hour has 3600 seconds, the measure is given by:

15.4 x 365 x 24 x 3600 = 485,654,400 km/year.

The distance to Proxima Centauri in km is given by:

d = |1.93 x 10^10 km - 4.24 x 9.5 x 10^12 km| = 4.02607 x 10^13 km.

Hence the time in years is given by:

t = d/v =  4.02607 x 10^13/485,654,400 = 82,900.

It will take Voyager 2 82,900 years from its location to travel to the second closest star.
