Complete question:
The manager of a supermarket would like to determine the amount of time that customers wait in a check-out line. He randomly selects 45 customers and records the amount of time from the moment they stand in the back of a line until the moment the cashier scans their first item. He calculates the mean and standard deviation of this sample to be barx = 4.2 minutes and s = 2.0 minutes. If appropriate, find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean time (in minutes) that customers at this supermarket wait in a check-out line
Answer:
(3.699, 4.701)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Sample size, n = 45
Sample mean, x' = 4.2
Standard deviation
= 2.0
Required:
Find a 90% CI for true mean time
First find standard error using the formula:




Standard error = 0.298
Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 45 - 1 = 44
To find t at 90% CI,df = 44:
Level of Significance α= 100% - 90% = 10% = 0.10

Find margin of error using the formula:
M.E = S.E * t
M.E = 0.298 * 1.6802
M.E = 0.500938 ≈ 0.5009
Margin of error = 0.5009
Thus, 90% CI = sample mean ± Margin of error
Lower limit = 4.2 - 0.5009 = 3.699
Upper limit = 4.2 + 0.5009 = 4.7009 ≈ 4.701
Confidence Interval = (3.699, 4.701)
s is the length and w is width which the equation is 2s+2w=P
Question author, it's spelled pi not pie, and we use just use the Greek letter π. Students, demand better from your teachers.
1. Rectangular prism, aka a box. Volume is length times width times height.
V = 5×7×9 = 315 cubic feet
That's cubic feet of course, the product of three lengths. We didn't even need to do the problem, just look for the common answer and pick the one with the right units. I just saw that same pattern in a volume problem yesterday.
Answer: 315 cubic feet, first choice
2. Cylinder, volume is base area times height, πr²h. We have a radius of r=14/2=7 yd and h=8 yd. We're using π=3.14.
V = πr²h = 3.14(7²)(8) = 1230.88 cubic yds
Answer: 1230.9 cubic yards, last choice
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
area of a circle is pi*r^2
pi*144 is 452.389342, so A
