In a study investigating the effect of car speed on accident severity, the vehicle speed at impact was recorded for 5,000 fatal

accidents. For these accidents, the mean speed was 46 mph and the standard deviation was 13 mph. A histogram revealed that the vehicle speed distribution was mound shaped and approximately symmetric. (Use the Empirical Rule.) (a) Approximately what percentage of vehicle speeds were between 33 and 59 mph

Answer:

68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean speed (m) = 46

Standard deviation (s) = 13

Approximately what percentage of vehicle speeds were between 33 and 59 mph

Obtain the Zscore for P(Z < x) for both values and subtract :

For x = 33

Zscore :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (33 - 46) / 13 = - 1

p(Z < - 1) = 0.15866 ( Z probability calculator)

For x = 59

Zscore :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (59 - 46) / 13 = 1

p(Z < 1) = 0.84134 ( Z probability calculator)

Hence, 0.84134 - 0.15866 = 0.68268 = 0.68

0.68 * 100% = 68%

find the margin of error to use for this sample mean sushi based on a sample of 35 people he average out of pieces of sushi a pe
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

{13.7756,18.2244}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample size, the margin of error can be calculated with the formula M=Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} where Z is the critical value for the desired confidence level, σ is the population standard deviation, and n is the sample size. Therefore, our margin of error for a 90% confidence level is:

M=Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=1.645*(\frac{8}{\sqrt{35}})=2.2244

The formula for a confidence interval is CI=\bar{x}+M where x-bar is the sample mean. Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of sushi pieces a person can eat is:

CI=\bar{x}\pm[M]=16\pm2.2244={13.7756,18.2244}

Therefore, we are 90% confident that the true mean amount of sushi pieces a person can eat is contained within the interval {13.7756,18.2244}

Are these parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
Elina [12.6K]
Answer: I think it’s neither

Explanation:

The line is parallel unless the slope is the same and with a different y-intercept

The line are perpendicular unless the one of the slope is the negative reciprocal of the other.

And both equation didn’t meet any of the requirement.

(5x-6) + (2x-6)add the polynomials
Thepotemich [5.8K]

In this question, let's add those polynomials

(5x-6) + (2x-6)

5x -6 +2x -6 <em>Combine like terms</em>

<em>5x +2x -6-6</em>

7x -12

Since this is not an equation, no further step can be done.
