60% of the seats on the train are empty

you have to divide 900 by 9 to get 100 because percents are out of 100, then you have to divide 540 by 9 also.

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there are 540 empty, and 900 total, you need to divide 540 by 900.

540/900=54/90=6/10=60/100

When you get 60/100, or 0.6, you know that it is 60 percent because percent is out of 100.

The weights of 67 randomly selected axles were found to have a variance of 3.85. Construct the 80% confidence interval for the p

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

$3.13$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 67

Variance = 3.85

We have to find 80% confidence interval for the population variance of the weights.

Degree of freedom = 67 - 1 = 66

Level of significance = 0.2

Chi square critical value for lower tail =

$\chi^2_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}= 51.770$

Chi square critical value for upper tail =

$\chi^2_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}= 81.085$

80% confidence interval:

$\dfrac{(n-1)S^2}{\chi^2_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}} < \sigma^2 < \dfrac{(n-1)S^2}{\chi^2_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}}$

Putting values, we get,

$=\dfrac{(67-1)3.85}{81.085} < \sigma^2 < \dfrac{(67-1)3.85}{51.770}\\\\=3.13$

Thus, (3.13,4.91) is the required 80% confidence interval for the population variance of the weights.

Amanda is a cabinetmaker. She makes cabinets using one of three types of wood: birch, maple, or cherry. She can finish each type

padilas [110]

Assume that each material in each category has an equal chance of being selected.

Categories:
(a) Type of wood used to make the cabinet: birch, maple, cherry.
Each type of wood has a probability of 1/3 to be selected.
(b) Type of finish: transparent, semi-transparent.
Each type of finish has a probability of 1/2 to be selected.
(c) Knob: bronze, steel, wood.
Each material has 1/3 probability to be selected.

Each event (selecting material for the cabinet, for the finish, and for the knob) is an independent event.

Therefore
Probablity(birch wood AND bronze knob) = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9
Probability(wood knob) = 1/3
Probability(transparent stain) = 1/2
Probability(cheryy wood AND semi-transparent stain) = (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6
