A researcher records the repair cost for 8 randomly selected washers. A sample mean of $60.46 and standard deviation of $18.36 a

re subsequently computed. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

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

If the distance from the boat to the lighthouse is 120 meters and the angle of elevation is 40°, which of the following equation
Sidana [21]

You can use the fact that lighthouses are usually standing perpendicular to the ground that smaller distance on earth surface(planes or water bodies like sea or ocean or calm river) acts as if they a straight plane.

The length (y) of the lighthouse is given by:

Option D:  tan 40° = y over 120.

<h3>What is angle of elevation?</h3>

What you see something higher than your eye level height, you need to see up, you elevate your head to see that thing. The angle from the straight horizontal level of eye to the current elevated level is measured and named as angle of elevation.

Similarly, there is angle of depression when the observer looks down.

<h3>How to calculate the height of the considered lighthouse?</h3>

See the figure attached below to understand the symbols used in calculations.

Let the boat is on point C, and let the light house be AB.

Then we have:

Length of CA = 120 meters

∠ ACB = 40°

To find: length of AB

By using the trigonometric ratio tangent, we get:

tan(\angle ACB) = \dfrac{AB}{AC}\\\\tan(40^\circ) = \dfrac{h}{120}

Since here h is denoted by y, we have h = y, or

The equation to find the height of the lighthouse is

tan(40^\circ) = \dfrac{y}{120}

Thus,

The length (y) of the lighthouse is given by:

Option D:  tan 40° = y over 120.
