A consumer affairs investigator records the repair cost for 4 randomly selected washers. A sample mean of $52.63 and standard de

viation of $22.01 are subsequently computed. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 2 of 2 : Construct the 80% confidence interval. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $34.60 and $70.66.

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 = 4 - 1 = 3

80% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 3 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.8}{2} = 0.9. So we have T = 1.638

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.638\frac{22.01}{\sqrt{4}} = 18.03

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 52.63 - 18.03 = $34.60

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 52.63 + 18.03 = $70.66.

The 80% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $34.60 and $70.66.

A barometer falls from a weather balloon
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t² + 14400

0= -16t² + 14400

(1/-16)×-14400=-16t²(1/-16)

900=t²

\sqrt{900} =\sqrt{t^{2}}

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all
muminat

Answer:

y = 3/4 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

you must put the equation into the form of y = mx + b

add 6x to both sides and put it in front of the 56

8y = 6x + 56

y must be by itself by x does not so we divide everything by 8

y = 6/8x + 7

we must simplify the fraction 6/8

y = 3/4x + 7

Here are five number cards . 2,5,7,8,9 . One of the cards is removed and the mean average of the remaining four number cards is
Elodia [21]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 5 number cards.

They are 2,5,7,8,9

Total of all numbers in the cards = 2+5+7+8+9= 31

One card is removed say with number x.

Now sum new would be =31-x   ..  i

Average of remaining 4 cards = 6

So sum of remaining 4 cards = 6(4) = 24 ... ii

i and ii represent the sum of remaining 4 cards. Hence they should be equal

31-x =24

Subtract 31 from both sides to get

-x=-7

Or x =7

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line?
jolli1 [7]
The slope is 4.

To find the perpendicular slope, you use the negative reciprocal of the slope you already have. Since the original slope is -1/4, you flip -1/4 to get -4. You then find the negative of -4 to get 4
