The mayor of a city believes a large park in the city is becoming more popular and wants to expand nature programs at the park.

A random sample of 30 summer days are selected and the number of park visitors is determined for each of those days. From this sample, the mean number of visitors was X(xbar) = 98.3 with a standard deviation of Sx = 11.2. Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of visitors on summer days. Assume the conditions for inference are met.
a. 95.192 to 101.410 visitors
b. 34.123 to 162.480 visitors
c. 92.664 to 103.940 visitors
d. None of these is correct.

Using the t-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the sample, it is found that the 99% confidence interval for the true mean number of visitors on summer days is given by:

c. 92.664 to 103.940 visitors

<h3>What is a t-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • t is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • s is the standard deviation for the sample.

The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a<u> two-tailed 99% confidence interval</u>, with 30 - 1 = <em>29 df</em>, is t = 2.756.

The other parameters are given as follows:

\overline{x} = 98.3, s = 11.2, n = 30.

Hence, the bounds of the interval are given by:

\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 98.3 - 2.756\frac{11.2}{\sqrt{30}} = 92.664

\overline{x} + t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 98.3 + 2.756\frac{11.2}{\sqrt{30}} = 103.94

Hence option c is correct.

You are working for a company that creates tubes that measure 10 cm long and have a diameter of 6 cm. The tubes need to be cut j
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

A= 2\pi (3cm)^2 +1 2\pi (3cm)(10 cm)= 18 \pi + 60\pi = 78 \pi cm^2

And replacing the value of \pi =3.14 we got:

A = 78*3.14 cm^2= 244.92 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the long who represent the height 10 cm and the diameter is 6cm. So then the radius is given by:

r = \frac{D}{2}= \frac{6cm}{2}= 3cm

And the surface area for a cylinder is given by this formula:

A= 2\pi r^2 +2 \pi rh

And replacing the info given we got:

A= 2\pi (3cm)^2 +1 2\pi (3cm)(10 cm)= 18 \pi + 60\pi = 78 \pi cm^2

And replacing the value of \pi =3.14 we got:

A = 78*3.14 cm^2= 244.92 cm^2

A group of band instructors answered a survey about hours of rehearsal per week and number of competitions won. The graph shows
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: B. 31

Step-by-step explanation:

This linear regression was constructed by relating the hours practiced per week and the number of competitions won.

Going by this graph, the number of competitions they can expect to win at 5 practices a week is 31.

This is derived by looking for the point where 5 competitions on the x-axis intersects with the line. This point is at 31 competitions on the y axis which would make it the answer.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

A dilation is a type of transformation that enlarges or reduces a figure to create a new figure,  If the scale factor is between 0 and 1 the image is a reduction. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement
