The hours a week people spend answering and sending emails is normally distributed with a standard deviation of Ï = 150 minutes.

How large of a sample size would you need to estimate the mean number of minutes people spend answering and sending emails with an error of 1 minutes with 99% confidence? What would be the practical problem with attempting to find this confidence interval?

Answer:

sample size n would be 149305 large

Value of n (149305) is too high, this will be the practical problem with attempting to find this confidence interval

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

standard deviation α = 150 min

confidence interval = 99%

since; p( -2.576 < z < 2.576) = 0.99

so z-value for 99% CI is 2.576

E = 1 minutes

Therefore

n = [(z × α) / E ]²

so we substitute

n = [(2.576 × 150) / 1 ]²

n = [ 386.4 ]²

n = 149304.96 ≈ 149305

Therefore sample size would be 149305 large

Value of n is too high, that would be the practical problem with attempting to find this confidence interval

1.)<br> What is the solution to the system of equations below?<br> y = 2x + 8<br> 3(-2x + y) = 19
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

y = 2x + 8

6x + 3y = 19

6x + 3(2x + 8) = 19

6x + 6x + 24 = 19

12x = -5

x = -5/12

y = 2(-5/12) + 8

y = -5/6 + 48/6

y = 43/6

To get to school you can travel by car, bus or bicycle. If you travel by car, there is a 50% chance you will be late because the
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

a) 16.66%

b) 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Since the teacher assumes each of the three possibilities are equally likely, then he assumes 33.33% to each one.

In this case the probability that you traveled to school that day by car would be

50%  of 33.33% = (0.5)(0.3333) = 0.1666 = 16.66%

b)

In this case, the teacher would assume

90% ride on bicycle

0% take the bus

10% travel by car

So, in this case the probability would be

50% of 10% = (0.5)(0.1) = 0.05 = 5%

I'm not sure what you are looking for but I'll answer this question based on what I think is needed.

Given:
Day 1: 130 
Day 2: 130 x 4 = 520
Day 3: 520 x 4 = 2,080

The exponential equation of this problem is:
V(n) = 130(4)^n

Where n is the number of days since the video was first shown.

Let us assume that 10 days have past. Total view would be:

V(n) = 130(4)^n

V(10) = 130(4)^10
V(10) = 130(1,048,576)
V(10) = 136,314,880

After 10 days, there are more than 136 Million views of the viral video.
