Answer:

a. A point estimate of the mean pull-force of all connectors in the population is approximately 75.7385

The point estimate for the mean used is the sample mean

b. The point estimate of the pull force that separates the weakest 50% of the connectors from the strongest 50% is 74.3131 N

c. The point estimate of the population variance is approximately 2.8577

The point estimate for the population standard deviation is approximately 1.6905

d. The standard error of the mean is approximately 0.3315

e. The point estimate of a proportion of the connectors are;

(72.7, 0.0385) , (73.8, 0.0769) , (73.9, 0.0385) , (74, 0.0385) , (74.1, 0.0385) ,(74.2, 0.0385), (74.6, 0.0385) , (74.7, 0.0385) , (74.9, 0.0385) , (75.1, 0.0769) , (75.3, 0.0385) , (75.4, 0.0385) , (75.5, 0.0385) , (75.6, 0.0385) , (75.8, 0.0385) , (76.2, 0.0385) , (76.3, 0.0385) , (76.8, 0.0385) , (77.3, 0.0385) , (77.6, 0.0385) , (78, 0.0385) , (78.1, 0.0385) , (78.2, 0.0385) , (79.6, 0.0385)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data for the pull-force (pounds) for connectors used in an automobile engine are presented as follows;

Pull-force (pounds); 79.6, 75.1, 78.2, 74.1, 73.9, 75.6, 77.6, 77.3, 73.8, 74.6, 75.5, 74.0, 74.7, 75.8, 72.7, 73.8, 74.2, 78.1, 75.4, 76.3, 75.3, 76.2, 74.9, 78.0, 75.1, 76.8

a. A point estimate of the mean pull-force of all connectors in the population is the sample mean given as follows;

$Mean, \ \overline x = \dfrac{\Sigma x_i}{n}$

$\Sigma x_i$ = The sum of the data = 1966.6

n = The sample size = 26

Therefore, the sample mean, $\overline x$ = 1966.6/26 ≈ 75.7385

The point estimate for the mean is approximately 75.7385

The sample mean was used as the point estimate for the mean because it is simple and representative of the sample

b. The weakest 50% of the connectors are;

72.7, 73.8, 73.8, 73.9, 74, 74.1, 74.2, 74.6, 74.7, 74.9, 75.1, 75.1, 75.3

The sum of forces that separates the weakest 50%, $\Sigma x_{i}_{50 \%}$ = 966.2

The point estimate of the pull force that separates the weakest 50% of the connectors from the strongest 50% = $\Sigma x_{i}_{50 \%}$ /13 = 966.2/13 = 74.3131 N

c. The estimate of the population variance is the sample variance, given as follows;

$s^2 =\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i-\overline x \right )^{2} }{n - 1}}$

Where;

${\sum \left (x_i-\overline x \right )^{2} }$ ≈ 71.4415

Therefore;

$s^2 =\dfrac{71.4415 }{25}} \approx 2.8577$

The point estimate of the population variance, s², is 2.8577

The point estimate for the population standard deviation, σ, is tha sample standard deviation, 's', given as follows;

s = √s² = √2.8577 ≈ 1.6905

The point estimate for the population standard deviation ≈ 1.6905

d. The standard error of the mean is given as follows;

$SE_{\mu_x} = \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

Therefore, we have;

$SE_{\mu_x}$ = 1.6905/√(26) ≈ 0.3315

The standard error indicates the likely hood of the difference between the sample mean and the population mean

e. The point estimate of a proportion of the connectors are;

(Number of sample with a given pull-force value)/(Sample size (26))

Therefore, using Microsoft Excel, we have

I need help with math homework algebra #4

sesenic [268]

Answer:

A. (-5, 0) and (1, -3)

B. Slope (m) = -½

C. y + 3 = -½(x - 1)

D. y = -½x - ⁵/2

E. ½x + y = ⁵/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Two points on the line from the graph are: (-5, 0) and (1, -3)

B. The slope can be calculated using two points,(-5, 0) and (1, -3):

$slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-3 - 0}{1 -(-5)} = \frac{-3}{6} = -\frac{1}{2}$

Slope (m) = -½

C. Equation in point-slope form is represented as y - b = m(x - a). Where,

(a, b) = any point on the graph.

m = slope.

Substitute (a, b) = (1, -3), and m = -½ into the point-slope equation, y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y - (-3) = -½(x - 1)

y + 3 = -½(x - 1)

D. Equation in slope-intercept form, can be written as y = mx + b.

Thus, using the equation in (C), rewrite to get the equation in slope-intercept form.

y + 3 = -½(x - 1)

2(y + 3) = -1(x - 1)

2y + 6 = -x + 1

2y = -x + 1 - 6

2y = -x - 5

y = -x/2 - ⁵/2

y = -½x - ⁵/2

E. Convert the equation in (D) to standard form:

y = -½x - ⁵/2

½x + y = ⁵/2

"A parabola is curved instead of linear, in your case it is probably just facing up or down so I won't get into square roots for now.So the quadratic equation that you probably have had to memorize (or will soon) is:
x=(-b[+or-]√(b²-4ac))/2a when you have an equation like ax²+bx+c=0Now where does the curve shape come from? You see that little pesky plus or minus in the equation? That's because there are always 2 values (inputs) that will generate the same output. Example:y=x²(2)²=4(-2)²=...4So if you were to follow this pattern, and plot the points on a graph, you would end up with a curve. You end up with a curve because the slope is constantly increasing.
And this is actually where you start the study of Calculus(!), which is all about measuring slopes (And a bunch of other stuff, but this is the easiest part to explain). Actually, in this case of y=x², the slope at any given point (funnily enough) is equal to 2 times your x-value.
The point is, your line is curved because unlike a linear equation, the slope is changing (at a constant rate)."
