Answer:

The critical value is T = 1.895.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $48.159 and $72.761

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution.

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 = 8 - 1 = 6

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.895, which is the critical value.

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.895\frac{18.36}{\sqrt{8}} = 12.301

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 60.46 - 12.301 = $48.159

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 60.46 + 12.301 = $72.761

The 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $48.159 and $72.761

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

a). Nadia made a total of $825 last week in commission sales

b). The total amount Nadia in commission in 2011=$42,900

Step-by-step explanation: Total amount (2011)=Average weekly commission × number of weeks in 2011  where;  Average weekly commission=$825  number of weeks in 2011=52  replacing;  Total amount (2011)=(825×52)=42,900 . The total amount Nadia in commission in 2011=$42,900.

What is the vertex of g(x) = -3x2 + 18x + 2?<br> (3, -25)<br> (-3, -25)<br> O (3, 29)<br> (-3, 29)
Amanda [17]

Answer:

(3,29)

Step-by-step explanation:

=-3(x2-6x)+2

=-3(x2-6x+9)+2+27

=-3(x-3)2+29,so the vertex will be (3,29)
