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

A fish was swimming LaTeX: 2\frac{1}{2}2 1 2 feet below the water's surface at 1:00 p.M. Three hours later, the fish was at a de
marin [14]

Answer:

\frac{23}{4} feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth of the fish to the surface of water at 1:00 pm = 2 \frac{1}{2} feet

                                                                             =   \frac{5}{2} feet

The depth of the fish to its initial position at 4:00 pm = 3 \frac{1}{4} feet

                                                                              = \frac{13}{4} feet

The position of the fish with respect to the water's surface at 4:00 pm = the depth of the fish to the surface of water at 1:00 pm + the depth of the fish to its initial position at 4:00 pm

                                        =  \frac{5}{2} + \frac{13}{4}

                                        = \frac{10 + 13}{4}

                                         = \frac{23}{4}

The position of the fish with respect to the water's surface at 4:00 pm is \frac{23}{4} feet.

Find y<br>Solve the simultaneous <br>equations<br><br><br>3x + 2y = 27 3x - Y = 9<br>​
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find y, we need to eliminate x in this system of equations:

3\cdot x + 2\cdot y = 27 (1)

3\cdot x - y = 9 (2)

From (1) and (2):

x = \frac{27-2\cdot y}{3}

x = \frac{9+y}{3}

Then, we equalize both expressions and solve for y:

\frac{27-2\cdot y}{3} = \frac{9+y}{3}

27-2\cdot y = 9 + y

3\cdot y = 18

y = 6

What is the best estimate of the sum of the fraction? 31/4 +17/3 +8/18
Bogdan [553]

The best estimate of the sum of the expression given is \rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}

What is a Fraction ?

A fraction is written as p/q , where q \rm \ne 0

It is asked to determine the sum of the fraction

31/4 + 17/3 + 8/18

Taking the LCM of 4 , 3 , 18

LCM of 4 , 3 ,18 is 36

Therefore

\rm \dfrac{ 31 *9 + 17 *12 + 8 *2}{36 }

(279+204+16) /36

499 / 36

\rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}

Therefore the best estimate of the sum of the expression given is \rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}.

What is 5 13.5% of ?​
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

67.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so I spent way to long overthinking this problem but in the end, I just used common sense to figure this one out. *it still may be wrong though...

A way to check if this is correct is dividing 67.5 by 5 and it equals to 13.5 which should make that answer correct?
