Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For Bob

12 hours = 1 fence

1 hour = 1/12 fence

Together Bob and Jen

4 hours = 1 fence

1 hour = 1/4 fence

Now, for Jen:

1 hour = 1/4 - 1/12= 3/12 - 1/12 = 2/12=1/6

Find the amount of time Jen will need:

1/6 fence = 1 hour

1 fence = 6 hour

Suppose that you take 1000 simple random samples from a population and that, for each sample, you obtain a 95% confidence interv
Bogdan [553]

Using the interpretation of a confidence interval, it is found that approximately 950 of those confidence intervals will contain the value of the unknown parameter.

A x% confidence interval means that we are x% confident that the population mean is in the interval.

  • Out of a large number of intervals, approximately x% will contain the value of the unknown parameter.

In this problem:

  • 95% confidence interval.
  • 1000 samples.

0.95 x 1000 = 950

Hence, approximately 950 of those confidence intervals will contain the value of the unknown parameter.

What is normal, when it comes to people's body temperature? a random sample of 130 human body temperatures, provided by allen sh
nikitadnepr [17]
The two-sided alternative hypothesis is appropriate in this case, the reason being we are asked "does the data indicate that the average body temperature for healthy humans is different from 98.6◦........?".
The test statistic is:
Z= \frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{ \frac{s}{ \sqrt{n} } }} =-5.47
Using an inverse normal table, and halving \alpha for a two-tailed test, we look up p=0.5-\alpha/2=0.5-0.005=0.495 and find the critical value to be Z = 2.5758.
Comparing the test statistic Z = -5.47 with the rejection region Z < -2.5758 and Z > 2.5758. we find the test statistic lies in the rejection region. Therefore the evidence does not indicate that the average body temperature for healthy humans is different from 98.6◦.
