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

2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles slower than train B. The two trains are 720 miles apa
Ber [7]

Answer: the rate of speed for train A is 66 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of train B.

2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles per hour slower than train B. This means that the speed of train A would be x - 16 miles per hour.

The two trains are 720 miles apart after 4 hours. It means that both trains traveled a total distance of 720 miles in 4 hours.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by train A after 4 hours is

4(x - 16) = 4x - 64

Distance travelled by train B after 4 hours is

4 × x = 4x

Since the total distance travelled by both trains is 720 miles, then

4x - 64 + 4x = 720

8x = 720 - 64 = 656

x = 656/8 = 82 miles per hour

The speed of train A would be

82 - 16 = 66 miles per hour.

HELPPP The number of members in the Triathlon Club was 36 in 2001 and has increased by 20% each year. Which exponential growth m
levacccp [35]

Answer:

C. y=36(1.2)t

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of members in the Club in t years after 2001 is given by an equation in the following format:

y = y(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which y(0) is the number of members in 2001 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

The number of members in the Triathlon Club was 36 in 2001 and has increased by 20% each year.

This means that y(0) = 36, r = 0.2

So

y = y(0)(1+r)^{t}

y = 36(1+0.2)^{t}

y = 36(1.2)^{t}

The correct answer is C.
