Lazurus Steel Corporation produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would construct a confidence interval.

Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

Since the sample size is large and the population standard deviation is known, we would use the following formula and determine the z score from the normal distribution table.

Margin of error = z × σ/√n

Where

σ = population standard Deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given

x = 36.02 inches

σ = 0.1 inches

n = 40

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.005 = 0.995

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 2.58. Thus, confidence level of 99% is 2.58

Margin of error = 2.58 × 0.1/√40 = 0.041

Confidence interval = 36.02 ± 0.041

The lower end of the confidence interval is

36.02 - 0.041 = 35.979 inches

The upper end of the confidence interval is

36.02 - 0.041 = 36.061 inches

Since 36.061 > 36.05, then we would conclude that the machine needs an adjustment.

The formula used is

Confidence interval =

Sample mean ± z × σ/√n

In a home theater system, the probability that the video components need repair within 1 year is 0.02, the probability that the

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

(a) The probability that at least one of these components will need repair within 1 year is 0.0278.

(b) The probability that exactly one of these component will need repair within 1 year is 0.0277.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

A = video components need repair within 1 year

B = electronic components need repair within 1 year

C = audio components need repair within 1 year

The information provided is:

P (A) = 0.02

P (B) = 0.007

P (C) = 0.001

The events A, B and C are independent.

(a)

Compute the probability that at least one of these components will need repair within 1 year as follows:

P (At least 1 component needs repair)

= 1 - P (No component needs repair)

$=1-P(A^{c}\cap B^{c}\cap C^{c})\\=1-[P(A^{c})\times P(B^{c})\times P(C^{c})]\\=1-[(1-0.02)\times (1-0.007)\times (1-0.001)]\\=1-0.97216686\\=0.02783314\\\approx 0.0278$

Thus, the probability that at least one of these components will need repair within 1 year is 0.0278.

(b)

Compute the probability that exactly one of these component will need repair within 1 year as follows:

P (Exactly 1 component needs repair)

= P (A or B or C)

$=P(A\cap B^{c}\cap C^{c})+P(A^{c}\cap B\cap C^{c})+P(A^{c}\cap B^{c}\cap C)\\=[0.02\times (1-0.007)\times (1-0.001)]+[(1-0.02)\times 0.007\times (1-0.001)]\\+[(1-0.02)\times (1-0.007)\times 0.001]\\=0.02766642\\\approx 0.0277$

Thus, the probability that exactly one of these component will need repair within 1 year is 0.0277.

A researcher measures daily driving distance from college and weekly cost of gas for a group of commuting college students. What

juin [17]

Answer:

There is a positive correlation between these two variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive correlation is an association amid two variables in which both variables change in the same direction.

A positive correlation occurs when one variable declines as the other variable declines, or one variable escalates while the other escalates.

As the distance covered by the vehicle increases the amount of gas consumed also increases. Thus, the weekly cost of gas will also increase.

Thus, there is a positive correlation between these two variables.
