<h3><u>Solution</u></h3>

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Paul is exactly 6yrs older than jane.
  • jane.the ratio of their ages is5:3

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Age off paul.

<h3><u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>l</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>a</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u></h3>

<u>Let,</u>

  • Age of paul = x years
  • Age of jane = y years

<u>A</u><u>c</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> question</u>

==> x = 6 + y

==> x - y = 6_____(1)

<u>And,</u>

==> x : y = 5:3

==> x/y = 5/3

==> 3x - 5y = 0______(2)

Multiply by 3 in equ(1)

==> 3x - 3y = 18_____(3)

<u>Subtract</u><u> </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>&</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>3</u><u>)</u>

==> -5y + 3y = -18

==> -2y = -18

==> y = 18/2

==> y = 9

<u>keep </u><u>in </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u>

==> 3x - 5×9 = 0

==> 3x = 45

==> x = 45/3

==> x = 15

<h3><u>Hence</u></h3>

  • Age of paul = 15 year

A college counselor is interested in estimating how many credits a student typically enrolls in each semester. The counselor dec
Ket [755]

Answer:

(a) The usual load is not 13 credits.

(b) The probability that a a student at this college takes 16 or more credits is 0.1093.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, if a large sample (<em>n</em> ≥ 30) is selected from an unknown population then the sampling distribution of sample mean follows a Normal distribution.

The information provided is:

Min.=8\\Q_{1}=13\\Median=14\\Mean=13.65\\SD=1.91\\Q_{3}=15\\Max.=18

The sample size is, <em>n</em> = 100.

The sample size is large enough for estimating the population mean from the sample mean and the population standard deviation from the sample standard deviation.

So,

\mu_{\bar x}=\bar x=13.65\\SE=\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{1.91}{\sqrt{100}}=0.191

(a)

The null hypothesis is:

<em>H</em>₀: The usual load is 13 credits, i.e. <em>μ</em> = 13.

Assume that the significance level of the test is, <em>α</em> = 0.05.

Construct a (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for population mean to check the claim.

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for population mean is given by:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times SE

For 5% level of significance the two tailed critical value of <em>z</em> is:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Construct the 95% confidence interval as follows:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times SE\\=13.65\pm (1.96\times0.191)\\=13.65\pm0.3744\\=(13.2756, 14.0244)\\=(13.28, 14.02)

As the null value, <em>μ</em> = 13 is not included in the 95% confidence interval the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Thus, it can be concluded that the usual load is not 13 credits.

(b)

Compute the probability that a a student at this college takes 16 or more credits as follows:

P(X\geq 16)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq \frac{16-13.65}{1.91})\\=P(Z>1.23)\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the probability that a a student at this college takes 16 or more credits is 0.1093.
