A simple random sample of 8 reaction times of NASCAR drivers is selected. The reaction times have a normal distribution. The sample mean is 1.24

sec with a standard deviation of 0.12 sec. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population standard deviation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

99% confidence interval is 0.07 < σ < 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

standard deviation s = 0.12 sec

s² = 0.12² = 0.0144

degree of freedom DF = n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

99% confidence interval

∝ = 1 - 99% = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

now, we find x² critical values for ∝/2 = 0.005 and 1 - ∝/2 = ( 1 - 0.005) = 0.995, df = 7

The Lower critical value [tex]X^{2}_{\frac{\alpha }{2}},7[/tex] = 20.2777

The Upper critical value [tex]X^{2}_{1-{\frac{\alpha }{2}},7[/tex] = 0.9893

Now, confidence interval is given by

√[ ( (n-1)×s² ) / ( [tex]X^{2}_{\frac{\alpha }{2}},7[/tex] ) ] < σ < √[ ( (n-1)×s² ) / (  [tex]X^{2}_{1-{\frac{\alpha }{2}},7[/tex]  ) ]

so we substitute

√[ ( 7×0.0144 ) / ( 20.2777 ) ] < σ < √[ ( 7×0.0144 ) / ( 0.9893 ) ]

√[ ( 7×0.0144 ) / ( 20.2777 ) ] < σ < √[ ( 7×0.0144 ) / ( 0.9893 ) ]

√0.0049711 < σ < √0.10189

0.0705 < σ < 0.3192

Rounding to the nearest 2 decimal places

0.07 < σ < 0.32

Therefore; 99% confidence interval is 0.07 < σ < 0.32

Triangle RST has vertices R(–1, 1), S(3, 1), and T(3, –4). What
are the coordinates of the image of RST after a translation 4 units to the left and 2 units down?

Answers

Answer:

R'(-5, -1) S'(-1, -1) T'(-1,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

because the triangle is moving to the left, you subtract the number of units from the x coordinates of each vertex of the triangle. becasue the triangle is moving down, you subtract the number of units moved down from the y coordinates of each vertex.

x P(x) 0 0.25 1 0.3 2 0.1 3 0.35 Find the standard deviation of this probability distribution. Give your answer to at least 2 decimal places

Answers

Answer:

The standard deviation of this probability distribution is 1.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

P(X = 0) = 0.25

P(X = 1) = 0.3

P(X = 2) = 0.1

P(X = 3) = 0.35

Mean:

Each value multiplied by its probability. So

[tex]M = 0*0.25 + 1*0.3 + 2*0.1 + 3*0.35 = 1.55[/tex]

Variance:

Sum of the squares of the values subtracted from the mean, and multiplied by its probability.

[tex]V = 0.25*(0-1.55)^2 + 0.3*(1-1.55)^2 + 0.1*(2-1.55)^2 + 0.35*(3-1.55)^2 = 1.4475[/tex]

Standard deviation:

Square root of the variance. So

[tex]S = \sqrt{V} = \sqrt{1.4475} = 1.2[/tex]

The standard deviation of this probability distribution is 1.2.

The frank family went to soups and wiches and bought one bowl of soup and five sandwiches for $25.50. Let w represent the cost of the sandwich CNN es and a represent the cost of a bowl of soup. Identify which system of equations represents the situation.

Answers

Answer:

4w + 3c = $27

5w + c = $25.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the w represent the cost of the sandwich

And, the c represent the cost of the bowl in a soup

Now the equations are

4w + 3c = $27

5w + c = $25.50

These two should be the equations that represent the situation

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure if this is exactly correct, but let's say we start with 1 unit. If it increased by 25%, we get:

1 × 1.25 = 1.25 units.

Now, to get back to 1 unit, we need to find:

1.25 × ?  = 1

? = [tex]\frac{1}{1.25}[/tex] = 0.80

So, 100% - 80 % = 20%

Three different accounts are described below.order the accounts according to their values after 10 years ,from greatest to least

Answers

Answer:

3.You deposit $1000 in an account that earns 9% annual interest compounded semiannually.

1. You deposit $950 in an account that earns 9% annual interest compounded daily.

2. You deposit $1000 in an account that earns 8% annual interest compounded daily.

4. You deposit $1000 in an account that earns 10% simple interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

To find - Three different accounts are described below. Order the accounts  

             according to their values after 10 years, from greatest to least.

             1. You deposit $950 in an account that earns 9% annual

                 interest compounded daily.

            2. You deposit $1000 in an account that earns 8% annual

                 interest compounded daily.

             3.You deposit $1000 in an account that earns 9% annual

                 interest compounded semiannually.

              4. You deposit $1000 in an account that earns 10% simple interest.

Proof -

1.)

Value after 10 years = 950( 1 + 0.09)¹⁰

                                 = 950 ( 1.09)¹⁰

                                 = 950(2.37) = 2248.995

⇒Value after 10 years = 2248.995

2.)

Value after 10 years = 1000( 1 + 0.08)¹⁰

                                 = 1000 ( 1.08)¹⁰

                                 = 1000(2.159) = 2158.925

⇒Value after 10 years = 2158.925

3.)

As it is compounded semiannually , so time period is doubles and rate goes half.

Value after 10 years = 1000( 1 + 0.045)²⁽¹⁰⁾

                                 = 1000 ( 1.045)²⁰

                                 = 1000(2.412) = 2411.714

⇒Value after 10 years = 2411.714

4.)

Value after 10 years = 1000×[tex]\frac{10}{100}[/tex]×10 = 1000

∴ we get

2411.714 > 2248.995 > 2158.925 > 1000

⇒ 3.) > 1.) > 2.) > 4.)

So,

3.You deposit $1000 in an account that earns 9% annual interest compounded semiannually.

1. You deposit $950 in an account that earns 9% annual interest compounded daily.

2. You deposit $1000 in an account that earns 8% annual interest compounded daily.

4. You deposit $1000 in an account that earns 10% simple interest.
