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

Find the value of x.
Tatiana [17]

Answer: The answer is x = 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram

The diagram in the question shows two triangles placed on each other and for convenience sake has been labelled ABDCE. Triangle ABC is a right angled triangle, and so is triangle ADE. From the marks on the lines, we can infer that line AD is equal in measurement to line DB. Also line AE is equal in measurement to line EC.

Therefore we can see the similarity in both triangles, if AD and AE equals DB and EC, then it follows that DE equals BC.

Hence if AD = DB and

AE = EC, and

DE = BC

Then, x - 3 = ½x

(½x can also be expressed as x/2)

x - 3 = x/2

By cross multiplication we now have

2(x - 3) = x

2x - 6 = x

By collecting like terms we now have

2x - x = 6

x = 6

Suppose you take an SRS of size 1000 of Connecticut students eligible to take the SAT and find that 85% plan to take the SAT dur
nadezda [96]

Answer:

\mu_{p}=p=0.81

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

So under the null hypothesis the mean for the population proportion is p

\mu_{p}=p=0.81

And the standard deviationis given by:

\sigma_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_o)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.81(1-0.81)}{1000}}=0.0124

The formula for the volume sphere is V=4/3pie r^3 what is the formula solved for r?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4 \pi}}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the formula of volume of a sphere we have to isolate "r" on one side of the equation i.e. we have to make "r" the subject of the equation.

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\\\\ \text{Multiplying both sides by 3/4 we get}\\\\\frac{3V}{4} = \pi r^{3}\\\\ \text{Dividing both sides by } \pi \\\\ \frac{3V}{4 \pi} = r^{3}\\\\\text{Takeing cube root of both sides}\\\\\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4 \pi}} = r

Therefore:

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4 \pi}}
