Answer:
For the first 30 minutes, we will have a line with a given steepness, this will represent the 30 minutes riding at a fast pace.
Then he stops for 20 minutes, we will represent this with a constant line.
Then he again moves for another 30 minutes, but with a slower pace than in the first 30 minutes, then this line will be less steep than the first line.
A sketch of this situation can be seen below.
Answer:
a) 22497.7 < μ< 24502.3
b) With 99% confidence the possible error will not exceed 1002.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean (μ) = 23500 kilometers per year
Standard deviation (σ) = 3900 kilometers
Confidence level (c) = 99% = 0.99
number of samples (n) = 100
a) α = 1 - c = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01
Using normal distribution table, is the z value of 1 - 0.005 = 0.995 of the area to the right which is 2.57.
The margin of error (e) is given as:
The 99% confidence interval = (μ - e, μ + e) = (23500 - 1002.3, 23500 + 1002.3) = (22497.7, 24502.3)
Confidence interval = 22497.7 < μ< 24502.3
b) With 99% confidence the possible error will not exceed 1002.3
