A researcher is going to estimate the average typing speed of students of a college. He selects a random sample of 20 students a

nd finds the average typing speed of 70 wpm and the standard deviation of 5 wpm. Estimate the margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed. Express your answer using THREE decimal places.

Answer:

The margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed is of 1.933 wpm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 20 - 1 = 19

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 19 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.7291

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. For this question, we have s = 5, n = 20. So

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 1.7291\frac{5}{\sqrt{20}}

M = 1.933

The margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed is of 1.933 wpm.

Given the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -2, what is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? A y = 5x + 2 B y = -5
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

  B.  y = -5x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Fill in the given values in the form ...

  y = (slope)x + (y-intercept)

  y = -5x +(-2)

  y = -5x -2 . . . . simplify; matches choice B

What is the probability that the web site has between 3 million and 4 million visitors in a single day? If needed, round your an
faust18 [17]

Answer:

0.2196

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Mean = 4.56 million visitors per day

Standard deviation = 820,000 visitors per day

According to the given situation the calculation of probability is shown below:-

Here we will find the value of P (3 ≤ X ≤ 4)  

P 93\leq X\leq 4)=P(X\leq 4) - P(X\leq 3)

\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq  \frac{4-4.56}{0.82})-P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq  \frac{3-4.56}{0.82})

\\=P(Z\leq -0.683)-P(Z\leq -1.9024

= 0.2483 - 0.0287

= 0.2196

Therefore the probability that the web site has between 3 million and 4 million visitors in a single day is 0.2196

2, 10 after a dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 centered at the<br> origin?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

  (1, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the center is the origin, the dilation factor multiplies each coordinate:

  (2, 10) ⇒ (1/2)(2, 10) = (1, 5)
