A fitness center is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of days per week that Americans who are

members of a fitness club go to their fitness center. Records of 219 members were looked at and their mean number of visits per week was 2.4 and the standard deviation was 2.9. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible.
A. The sampling distribution follows a _______ distribution.
B. With 90% confidence the population mean number of visits per week is between _____ and ______ visits.
C. If many groups of 220 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About ________ percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per week and about__________ percent will not contain the true population mean number of visits per week.

Answer:

A. Normal

B. Between 2.078 and 2.722 visits.

C. About 90 percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per week and about 10 percent will not contain the true population mean number of visits per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b.

Question A:

By the Central Limit Theorem, normal.

Question B:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645\frac{2.9}{\sqrt{219}} = 0.322

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 2.4 - 0.322 = 2.078 visits

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 2.4 + 0.322 = 2.722 visits.

Between 2.078 and 2.722 visits.

Question c:

90% confidence level, so 90% will contain the true population mean, 100 - 90 = 10% wont.

About 90 percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per week and about 10 percent will not contain the true population mean number of visits per week.

What is the area of this triangle 12in 3in
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. The division by 2 comes from the fact that a parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles. For example, in the diagram to the left, the area of each triangle is equal to one-half the area of the parallelogram.

Nuclear Power is a perfect example of exponential relations. Canada produces over half of its electricity using nuclear reactors
mario62 [17]

Solution :

Nuclear fission is exponential. With uranium atoms arranged properly it is possible to have the fission effect and cause more and more uranium nuclei to fission. This is known as chain reaction and a number of uranium atoms are fission together to increase exponentially.

Canada, for example produces electricity using the process of fission process in its nuclear reactors.

But one of the problems with nuclear reactors is its disposal of the nuclear waste. The nuclear waste includes the used reactor fuel,  uranium mill tailings and other radioactive wastes. They remain radioactive and are dangerous for the human health.

A). The long term nuclear waste are stored in deep excavations and covered with rocks and mud so that the harmful radioactive materials does not escape from them. They are also stored in some high density and thick cylinders and remained isolated in the dump yard from the people and nature.

B). Canada has a high source of renewable sources of energy. This is a clean source of energy and Canada can make best use of it. Most of the energy requirement of Canada can be taken care off by using wind energy. Canada is planning to set up wind energy mills in most of its part and generate electricity from it.

Canada has also installed several solar power projects which is clean and can help the people to use this solar energy to produce electricity.
