Suppose that a committee is studying whether there is waste of time in our judicial system. It is interested in the mean amount of time individuals waste at the courthouse waiting to be called for jury duty. The committee randomly surveyed 81 people who recently served as jurors. The sample mean wait time was eight hours with a sample standard deviation of four hours. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted. Which distribution should you use for this problem

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The t-distribution is used, as we have the standard deviation of the sample.

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted is between 7.12 hours and 8.88 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which meas that the t-distribution should be 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 = 81 - 1 = 80

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 80 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.99

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.99\frac{4}{\sqrt{81}} = 0.88[/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 8 - 0.88 = 7.12 hours.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 8 + 0.88 = 8.88 hours.

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted is between 7.12 hours and 8.88 hours.

As part of a demographic study, a college administrator needed to survey a sample of students from the college. From each major offered at the college, the administrator randomly selected 5 percent of the students with that major to participate in the survey. Which of the following is the best description of the type of sample selected by the administrator?
a)cluster sample
b)convenience sample
c)simple random sample
d)stratified random sample
e)systematic random sample

Answers

Answer:convenient I think

Step-by-step explanation:

Saw the first 5 people with the major at the time

The best description of the type of sample selected in the question is;

Option D; Stratified Random Sample

We are told that for the demographic study, the college administrator randomly selected 5% of the students with the particular major randomly.

Since they were chosen randomly, it is clear that this is a type of random sampling that was not done with a convenient sample. Thus, Options A and B are already out of it leaving us with C, D or E

Let us look at the options;

Option C; This sample cannot be a simple random sample because since only 5% are selected from each major, all the students don't have equal chance of being chosen.

Option D; This sample is a stratified random sample because the population has been divided into smaller groups by their majors.

Option E; This cannot be a systematic random sample because there is no fixed period or interval of selection done.

A clothing business finds there is a linear relationship between the number of shirts, n (in thousands) it can sell and the price, P, it can charge per shirt. In particular, historical data shows that 3 thousand shirts can be sold at a price of $69 each, and that 7 thousand shirts can be sold at a price of $61 each. Find the equation of the form P(n)

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the form P(n) is:

P(n)=-0.002n+75

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you have two points: (3000, 69) and (7000, 61). With this, you can find the slope using the following formula:

m=(p1-p2)/(n1-n2)

m=slope

p1=69

p2=61

n1=3000

n2=7000

m=(69-61)/(3000-7000)

m=8/-4000

m=-0.002

Now that you have the slope, you can find the the equation of the form P(n):

P(n)=-0.002(n-3000)+69

P(n)=-0.002n+6+69

P(n)=-0.002n+75

According to this, the answer is that the equation of the form P(n) is:

P(n)=-0.002n+75

Five cards (a hand) are dealt from a randomly shuffled deck of cards. For those of you that are not familiar with playing cards: each card has a suit (hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs) and a symbol (aces, kings, queens, etc.). The deck contains a total of 52 cards, with 13 of each suit and 4 of each symbol. What is the probability that the hand contains a) all spades

Answers

Answer: 0.0004951

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Five cards are from the deck

The total number of cards in the deck is 52

total spades card is [tex]13[/tex]

We have to choose 5 cards out of 13, this can be done in

[tex]\Rightarrow ^{13}C_5[/tex]

The probability of choosing 5 spade cards is

[tex]\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{^{13}C_5}{^{52}C_5}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{1287}{2598960}=0.0004951[/tex]

Carmine is packing 27 superballs in 3 square layers. Each ball has a diameter of 4 cm.

- What is he minimum volume of the box
- What is the surface area of the box
- How much empty space is in the box. ( round your answer to 2 decimal places)

Answers

Assuming the diameter of the ball = side of square
To stack 27 balls, we need 9 layers of 3 square each
Total space = 27 x 4³ = 1728 cm³
Total space occupied by 27 spherical balls = 27 x 4/3 π (4/2)³ = 904.78 cm³
Empty space = 1728 - 904.78 = 823.22 cm³

Answers

Answer:

The solution is [tex]x = 4.4817[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of the ln function is the exponential, which means that to solve this question, we apply the exponential to both sides.

We have that:

[tex]\ln{(x^4)} = 6[/tex]

Applying exponential to both sides:

[tex]e^{\ln{(x^4)}} = e^6[/tex]

[tex]x^4 = e^6[/tex]

[tex]x = \sqrt[4]{e^6}[/tex]

[tex]x = (e^6)^{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4.4817[/tex]

The solution is [tex]x = 4.4817[/tex]
