The length of duration, in minutes, of earthquakes in California has been recorded for future analysis and information. An earthquake expert claims that the average duration of earthquakes in California is 0.5 minutes. To investigate the validity of this claim a random sample of 6 earthquakes were taken and the sample mean and the sample standard deviation were 1.15 and 0.308 minutes, respectively. Construct a 98% confidence interval and determine if the researcher`s claim can be rejected.
a. 98% C.l.is (0.727, 1.573). One can reject the expert's claim tha thte true average duration of earthquakes in California is 0.5 minutes.
b. 98% C.I. is (0.727, 1.573). One cannot reject the expert's claim tha thte true average duration of earthquakes in California is 0.5 minutes.
c. 98% C.I. is (0.755, 1.545). One can reject the expert's claim tha thte true average duration of earthquakes in California is 0.5 minutes.
d. 98% C.I. is (0.755, 1.545). One cannot reject the expert's claim tha thte true average duration of earthquakes in California is 0.5 minutes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "(0.727, 1.573)".

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval of 98 percent is C.I = (0.727, 1.573). You might disregard the statement of the experts that the genuine average duration in California of earthquakes is 0.5 minutes.

[tex]C.I = \bar{x}\pm t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}\times \frac{s }{\sqrt{n}}\\\\[/tex]

      [tex]= 1.15 + 3.365 \times 0.12574\\\\= 1.15 + 0.4231\\\\= (0.7269, 1.5731)[/tex]

As a manager of a company you are given 2 estimates for the annual firm’s profits: 1) Estimate A predicting that the mean profit would be between $1mil and $1.5 mil which is a 95% confidence interval; 2) Estimate B that the annual profits are between $1.2 mil and $1.4 mil, a 93% confidence interval. Which of the two estimates is more accurate and why?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

A confidence interval determines the probability that a range of values(e.g-given a large data set )has the true parameter. Example, to find mean of height of 30+ men, our confidence interval will say that there is 96% confidence that the mean height of 30+ men is between 5ft and 6ft. While confidence intervals, narrow or broad with high or low significance levels may not be akin to accuracy, it will only help to determine the precision or otherwise of our estimate. For example, if confidence interval is narrow as in second option and confidence level is lower, it only narrows down our options to ascertain the true mean or parameter we are investigating and doesn't exactly affect accuracy since we are still not 100% confident our true mean lies in this interval.

Jeans are on sale for 20% off the regular price. Which function would give you the total cost for purchasing a pair of jeans that costs x dollars?

Answers

Answer:

0.8X = Final cost

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that jeans are on sale for 20% off the regular price, to determine which function would give you the total cost for purchasing a pair of jeans that costs X dollars, the following calculation must be performed:

1X = Initial cost of the jeans

20% = 0.2

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

0.8X = Final cost

Data with 950 observations are drawn from a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 19. Approximately how many observations are more than 116

Answers

Answer:  there are 22 observations that are more than 116.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable.

Given: Sample size = 950

Mean = 78

Standard deviation = 19

The probability that the observations are more than 116 is given by :-

[tex]P(X>116)=P(\dfrac{X-mean}{standard \ deviation}>\dfrac{116-78}{19})\\\\=P(Z>2)\\\\=1-P(Z<2)\\\\=1-0.9772\ \ \ [\text{Using p-value calculator}]\\\\=0.0228[/tex]

Number of observations are more than 116 = [tex]0.0228\times950[/tex]

[tex]=21.66\approx22[/tex]

Hence, there are 22 observations that are more than 116.

the population of a town increases at a rate proportional to its population with an initial population of 1000. The corect initial value problem for the population p(t) as a function of time is

Answers

Answer:

This means that the correct initial value problem for the population p(t) as a function of time is is [tex]P(0) = 1000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a town increases at a rate proportional to its population:

This means that this situation is modeled by the following differential equation:

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = kP[/tex]

In which k is the growth rate.

By separation of variables, the solution is given by:

A jug is 80% full of water. After 360 millimeters of water are poured out, the jug is 60% filled with water. What is the capacity of the jug?
15 POINTS!!

Answers

Answer:

1800ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the capacity of the Jug be x millimeters

from 80% to 60% = 20%

Since 20% of the capacity is equivalent to 360ml

the 100% will be x ml

cross multiply we have

360*100= 20*x

x= 36000/20

x= 1800ml

Hence the capacity of the jug is 1800ml

During each summer, many families spend part of their vacation time at a beach along the East or West Coast. Due to the popularity of movies like Jaws and The Shallows, and publicity about recent shark attacks on surfers, swimmers, snorkelers, and spearfishermen, Americans have become increasingly concerned about water activities. Research suggests that 58% of all shark attacks involve surfers. One thousand records of shark attacks are selected, and each is categorized by the victim group. Identify the population, sample, and variable for the study.
Population Sample Variable
a. all families who spend part of their vacation at a beach along the East or West coast
b. Americans who are concerned about water activities
c. the percentage of shark attacks that involve surfers
d. the set of groups to which the victims of shark attacks belong
e. all shark attacks
f. the 1000 records of shark attacks that were examined

Answers

Answer:

Population = e. all shark attacks.

Sample = f. the 1000 records of shark attacks that were examined.

Variable = d. the set of groups to which the victims of shark attacks belong.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population in a particular study refers to the entire set of people to which the research study encompasses, that is all those who are eligible to be a part of the study or those who the study relates to and the outcome of the study Cann be applied to them. In the research study described above, the population of the study is all events of shark attacks.

The sample is a subset of the larger population ; the subset selected in the scenario above is the 1000 records examined out of all the events of shark attacks.

The variable in the study may refer to a set of independent variables which is according to the scenario is the set of groups to which victims of shark attack belong.

Each chair requires four legs and two rockers but differing numbers of wooden dowels. Each His chair requires four short dowels and eight long dowels while each Hers chair requires eight short dowels and four long dowels. Each His chair contributes $10 in profit while each Hers chair contributes $12. The company has 900 legs, 400 rockers, 1200 short dowels, and 1056 long dowels available. The company wants to maximize its profit while also ensuring that it makes at least half as many His chairs as Hers chairs.

Find the fifth term and the nth term of the geometric sequence whose initial term, a, and common ratio, r, are given.

a = 8; r = -5

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a_n = 8(-5)^{n-1}[/tex]

The fifth term of the sequence is 5000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient between consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio. The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

[tex]a_n = a_1(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

a = 8; r = -5

Thus:

[tex]a_n = a_1(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_n = 8(-5)^{n-1}[/tex]

Fifth term:

This is [tex]a_5[/tex]. So

[tex]a_5 = 8(-5)^{5-1} = 5000[/tex]

The fifth term of the sequence is 5000.

If a book costs N10,000, at what price will the book be sold to make a profit of 15%?

Answers

Here,
We have,
Cost price of a book (CP) = N10,000
Profit percent (p%)= 15%
Now,
Using profit percent formula we get,
P% = (Sp-Cp)/ Cp*100
15 = (Sp-10,000)/10,000*100.
15*10000=100Sp-1000000
150000+1000000=100Sp
1150000/100=Sp
Sp=11500

Hence,
A book should be sold at 11500

Answer:

11,500

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price of a book (CP) = 10000

profit percent = 15%

selling price of a book (SP) = ?

SP = CP + profit% of CP

=10000 + 15 / 100 * 10000

=1000000 + 150000/100

=1150000/100

=11500

Therefore, the book will cost 11,500

Where, x = - 6

Solve for y

9x - 6y = 19

plug the value of x

9 ( -6 ) - 6y = 19

- 54 - 6y = 19

Add 54 to both sides

- 54 + 54 - 6y = 19 + 54

-6y = 73

divide both side by -6

-6y / -6 = 73 / -6

y = 73 / -6
