A vehicle owner interested in her vehicle’s fuel economy calculated the gas mileage in miles per gallon (mpg) each time she filled her tank, for several years. Here are the mpg values for a random sample of 20 of these records. Suppose that the standard deviation is known to be σ = 3.5 mpg.

Required:
Find the 95% confidence interval for the mean of gas mileage for this vehicle.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of gas mileage for this vehicle is (S - 1.53, S + 1.53), in which S is the mean of the sample of 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 1.96\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{20}} = 1.53[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is S - 1.53.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is S + 1.53.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of gas mileage for this vehicle is (S - 1.53, S + 1.53), in which S is the mean of the sample of 20.

First find the circumference of the circle:

Circumference = 2 x radius x pi

Circumference = 2 x 4 x 3.14 = 25.12 cm

Now arc ML is 100 degrees.

Multiply the circumference by the arc degree/360 ( 360 is a full circle)

25.12 x 100/360 = 6.98 cm

The answer is 6.98 cm

A sphere has a volume of 1 cubic foot. What is the approximate diameter of the sphere?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]volume \ of \ sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \\\\1 =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\\\\r^ 3 = \frac{3}{4\pi} \\\\r = (\frac{3}{4\pi })^{\frac{1}{3} } \\\\r = 0.62ft\\\\diameter = 2 * 0.62 = 1.24ft[/tex]

Answer:

1.24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of sphere = 4/3π.r³ = 1

=> r³ = 3/(4π)= 3/(12.56) = 0.239

r = ³√0.239

r = 0.62

d = 2×0.62 = 1.24 ft

A computer technician notes that 40% of computers fail because of the hard drive, 20% fail due to the processor, 15% of problems are with the keyboard, and 5% of problems are due to something else. What is the mean of the number of computers he will work on before seeing his first computer that has failed because of the hard drive?

Since there are four categories, the technician can expect 4 computers until one has failed due to the hard drive.
Since 40% is equivalent to Two-fifths, it is expected that Five-halves = 2.5 computers until one has failed due to the hard drive.
Since the highest percentage of failure is due to the hard drive, the technician can expect that the first computer will have failed due to the hard drive. So the expected value is 1.
Since it is more likely that a computer has failed due to some other issue, the technician can expect the first computer to fail due to some other issue, and the second to fail due to the hard drive. So the expected value is 2

The quality-control manager at a compact flourescent light bulb factory wants to test the claim that the mean life of a large shipment of cfls is equal to 6500 hours. the population standard deviation is 500 hours. a random sample of 50 cfls indicates a sample mean life of 6,700 hours and sample standard deviation is 600 hours.

b. Compute the p value and interpret its meaning.
c. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean life of the CFLs.
d. Compare the results of (a) and (c). What conclusions do you reach?

Answers

Answer:

a. At the 0.05 level of significance,  there is evidence that the mean life is different from 6,500 hours.

b. The p value= ≈ 0.00480 for z- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected .

The p value= 0.006913 for t- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected for 49 degrees of freedom.

c. CI [6583.336 ,6816.336]

d.  The range of CI [6583.336 ,6816.336] tells that the cfls having a different mean life lie in this range.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population mean = u= 6500 hours.

Population standard deviation = σ=500 hours.

Sample size =n= 50

Sample mean =x`=  6,700 hours

Sample standard deviation=s=  600 hours.

Critical values, where P(Z > Z) =∝ and P(t >) =∝

Z(0.10)=1.282  

Z(0.05)=1.645  

Z(0.025)=1.960  

t(0.01)(49)= 1.299

t(0.05)= 1.677  

t(0.025,49)=2.010

Let the null and alternate hypotheses be

H0: u = 6500 against the claim Ha: u ≠ 6500

Applying Z test

Z= x`- u/ s/√n

z= 6700-6500/500/√50

Z= 200/70.7113

z= 2.82=2.82

Applying  t test

t= x`- u /s/√n

t= 6700-6500/600/√50

t= 2.82

a. At the 0.05 level of significance,  there is evidence that the mean life is different from 6,500 hours.

Yes we reject H0  for z- test as it falls in the critical region,at the 0.05 level of significance, z=2.82 > z∝=1.645

For t test  we reject H0   as it falls in the critical region,at the 0.05 level of significance, t=2.82 > t∝=1.677 with n-1 = 50-1 = 49 degrees of freedom.

b. The p value= ≈ 0.00480 for z- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected .

The p value= 0.006913 for t- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected for 49 degrees of freedom.

c. The 95 % confidence interval of the population mean life is estimated by

x` ±  z∝/2  (σ/√n )

6700± 1.645 (500/√50)

6700±116.336

6583.336 ,6816.336

d. The range of CI [6583.336 ,6816.336] tells that the cfls having a different mean life lie in this range.
