In a survey, 24 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $42 and standard deviation of $2. Construct a confidence interval at a 98% confidence level.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on their child's last birthday gift is between $40.98 and $43.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

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 = 24 - 1 = 23

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 23 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99[/tex]. So we have T = 2.5

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.5\frac{2}{\sqrt{24}} = 1.02[/tex]

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 42 - 1.02 = $40.98.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42 + 1.02 = $43.02.

The 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on their child's last birthday gift is between $40.98 and $43.02.

Read the following scenario, and then answer the question.

Juan assumes that the temperature of the hot tea cooling on his desk can be modeled with an exponential function like this one: T(t)=179(0.92)t. He bases his assumption on the following: The tea cools about 8% every minute. The tea's current temperature is around 179 degrees Fahrenheit.

Which explanation correctly addresses Juan's assumption?

He is incorrect. The tea will cool linearly since it cools at the same number of degrees every minute.
He is correct. The tea will cool exponentially since it cools at a percentage rate every minute.
He is incorrect. The tea will cool along the curve of a parabola since it cools at an increasing percentage rate every minute.

Answers

Answer:

  (b)  He is correct. The tea will cool exponentially since it cools at a percentage rate every minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Law of Cooling says the change in temperature is proportional to the temperature. This relation gives rise to an exponential function describing the temperature.

In this description, the temperature referred to is the difference between the temperature of the object and the temperature of the environment to/from which heat is being transferred.

Juan is only partially correct. The function is exponential, but the temperature that should be used in his equation is not the temperature of the tea, but the temperature difference between the tea and his desk.

Probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7?

Answers

Answer:

0.4444 = 44.44% probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

A number is selected at random from each of the sets {2,3,4} and {1, 3, 5}.

The possible values for the sum are:

2 + 1 = 3

2 + 3 = 5

2 + 5 = 7

3 + 1 = 4

3 + 3 = 6

3 + 5 = 8

4 + 1 = 5

4 + 3 = 7

4 + 5 = 9

Find the probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7?

​4 of the 9 sums are greater than 3 but less than 7. So

[tex]p = \frac{4}{9} = 0.4444[/tex]

0.4444 = 44.44% probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7.

Joe bikes at the speed of 30 km/h from his home toward his work. If Joe's wife leaves home 5 mins later by car, how fast should she drive in order to overtake him in 10 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

45 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a really good question to know the answer to. It is tricky and a bit indirect (which means you have to find something else before you can find the speed of the car.)

Let's keep track of what he does in the time allotted.

How far does Joe go in 5 minutes? That's the amount of time he's on the road before she is.

convert 5 minutes into hours. 5 minutes * 1 hour / 60 minutes = 1/12 of an hour

d = r*t

r = 30 km/hour

t = 1/12 hour

d = 30 km/hr * 1/12 hour = 2.5 km

Now she's about to start. She wants to catch him in 10 minutes

d = r*t

r = x mph

t = 10 minutes = 10 minutes * 1 hour * 60 minutes = 1/6 of an hour.

How far does he go in the 10 minute time?

d = 30 * 1/6 = 5 km

What is his total distance

5 km + 2.5 km = 7.5 km

Finally how fast does she need to go to catch him

d = 7.5 km

r = ?   This is what you are trying to find

t = 1/6 of an hour

d = r*t

7.5 km = r * (1/6)hour             divide by 1/6 hour

7.5 km // 1/6 hour = r

r = 7.5 * 6 = 45 mph

a woman bought some large frames for 
$12 each and some small frames for $5
each. If she bought 20 frames for $156
find how many of each type she bought.

Answers

Answer:

8 pairs of large glasses and 12 pairs of small ones

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of large frames she buys is l, and the number of small frames is s. She buys 20 frames of assorted sizes, but they can only be small or large. Therefore, s + l = 20.

Next, the total cost of large frames is 12 dollars for each frame. Therefore, the total cost for the large frames is equal to 12 * l. Similarly, the total cost for the small frames is equal to 5 * s. The total cost of all frames is equal to 156, so

12* l + 5 * s = 156

s + l = 20

In the second equation, we can subtract l from both sides to get

s = 20 - l

We can then plug that into the first equation to get

12 * l + 5 * (20-l) = 156

12 * l + 100 - 5*l = 156

subtract both sides by 100 to isolate the variable and its coefficient

12 * l  -  5 * l = 56

7 * l = 56

divide both sides by 7 to isolate the l

l = 8

The woman buys 8 pairs of large glasses. The number of small glasses is equal to 20-l=20-8=12

Find the graph of the solution set of the following system of linear inequalities

Answers

Answer:

the graph looks like this:-

Step-by-step explanation:

for inequality 1

if we take x = 0 we get y = -4

and if we take y =0 we get x = 16

so we get 2 points (0, -4) and (16, 0) and the graph must pass thru these two.

now checking if the origin satisfies the inequality or not

take x and y = 0

0 + 0 is not greater than or equal to -16

so origin doesn't satisfy the inequality.

shade the graph on the side, of the line, opposite to where the origin is.

for inequality 2

if we take x = 0 we get y = 2

and if we take y =0 we get x = -⅔

so we get 2 points (0, 2) and (-⅔, 0) and the graph must pass thru these two.

the line should be a dotted line.

now checking if the origin satisfies the inequality or not

take x and y = 0

0 + 0 is less than 2

so origin satisfies the inequality.

shade the graph on that side of the line where the origin is.

[ red line shows graph 1 whereas the blue dotted line represents graph ]

The perimeter of a square and rectangle is the same. The width of the rectangle is 6cm and it's area is 16cmsquare less than the area of the square. Find the area of the square

Answers

Answer:

Area of  square = 100 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides of a square be = a

Perimeter of a square = 4a

Let area of square = [tex]a^2[/tex]

Let the Length of rectangle be = [tex]l[/tex]

Given: width of the rectangle = 6 cm

Area of rectangle = length x breadth

          Perimeter of rectangle and square is equal.

          That is,

                     [tex]2(length + width) = 4a\\\\2(l + 6) = 4a\\\\l + 6 = 2a\\\\l = 2a - 6[/tex]

Therefore ,

    Area of rectangle

                              [tex]= Length \times width \\\\= (2a - 6) \times 6\\\\=6(2a - 6)[/tex]

Given area of rectangle is 16 less than area of square.

That is ,

         [tex]( 6(2a- 6) ) = a^2 - 16\\\\12a - 36 = a^2 - 16\\\\a^2 - 12a +20= 0\\\\a^2 - 2a -10a + 20 = 0\\\\a(a - 2) - 10(a - 2) = 0\\\\(a -10) ( a-2) = 0\\\\a = 10 , \ a = 2[/tex]

Check which value of 'a ' satisfies the equation:

[tex]\underline {when \ a = 2 }\\\\Length\ of \ rectangle \ l = 2a - 6 = 2 ( 2 ) - 6 = 4 - 6 = - 2. \\\\Length \ cannot \ be \ negative \ number. \\\\ \underline{ when \ a = 10 }\\\\Length \ of \ rectangle \ , l = 2a - 6 = 2 (10) - 6 = 20 - 6 = 14\\\\satisfies \ the \ conditions. \\\\Therefore , a = 10[/tex]

That is , side of the sqaure = 10

Therefore , area  of the square = 10 x 10 = 100 square cm.

-27x - 18 = 9x+6

Add 27x  to each side

-27x+27x-18 = 9x+27x+6

-18 = 36x+6

Subtract 6 from each side

3x - 6(5x + 3) = 9x + 6.

Use the distributive property to multiply -6 by 5x + 3.

3x - 30x - 18 = 9x + 6

Combine 3x and -30x to get -27x.

-27x - 18 = 9x + 6

Subtract 9x from both sides.

-27x - 9x - 18 = 9x - 9x + 6

-36x - 18 = 6

Add 18 to both sides.

-36x - 18 + 18 = 6 + 18

-36x = 24

Divide both sides by -36.
