Individual taxi fares in Metro City are normally distributed with a population mean equals to $10 and a population standard deviation of $4. Assume drawing from an infinite population, a random sample of 64 fares is obtained. Based on these information, what is the probability that the sample mean fare of the 64 fares in the sample is between $9.5 and $10

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.3413 = 34.13% probability that the sample mean fare of the 64 fares in the sample is between $9.5 and $10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean equals to $10 and a population standard deviation of $4

This means that [tex]\mu = 10, \sigma = 4[/tex]

Sample of 64

This means that [tex]n = 8, s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.5[/tex]

What is the probability that the sample mean fare of the 64 fares in the sample is between $9.5 and $10?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 10 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 9.5.

X = 10

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{10 - 10}{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.5

X = 9.5

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{9.5 - 10}{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1587

0.5 - 0.1587 = 0.3413

0.3413 = 34.13% probability that the sample mean fare of the 64 fares in the sample is between $9.5 and $10.

The length of a rectangle is 3 yd more than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 54 yd?. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 37 yards, and the width of the rectangle is 17 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length of a rectangle is 3 yards more than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 54 yards, the following calculation must be performed to find the dimensions of the rectangle, knowing that the area of a rectangle arises from multiplying its base by its height:

2X + 3 + X = 54

3X + 3 = 54

3X = 54 - 3

X = 51/3

X = 17

(17 x 2) + 3 = 37

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 37 yards, and the width of the rectangle is 17 yards.

Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn​ girls: n​=250, x_=32.9 ​hg, s= 6.9 hg. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the mean. Use a ​95% confidence level. Are these results very different from the confidence interval 31.9 hg < μ < 34.5 hg with only 19 sample​ values, x_=33.2 ​hg, and s=2.6hg? What is the confidence interval for the population mean ​μ?

Answers

Answer:

a)  ( 31.92 < μ < 33.88 )  

The confidence interval is not very different from the confidence interval given in the question

b) ( 31.74 ,  34.66 )

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 250

x ( mean ) = 32.9

std = 6.9

95% confidence interval

df = n - 1 = 250 - 1 = 249

a) construct confidence interval estimate

calculate for the margin of error

= [tex]t_{0.05/2} ,_{250-1} ( \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } )[/tex] ( using excel function:  T.INV.2T(0.025,249) )

= 2.255 ( 6.9 / 15.81 )

= 0.98

Hence the confidence interval for the population

= ( x - 0.98 < μ < x + 0.98 )

= ( 31.92 < μ < 33.88 )  

The confidence interval is not very different from the confidence interval given in the question

b) when n = 19

x = 33.2 and std = 2.6

margin of error = [tex]t_{0.05/2} ,_{19-1} ( \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } )[/tex] = 2.45 * ( 2.6 / 4.36 )  = 1.46

confidence interval

= ( 33.2 - 1.46 , 33.2 + 1.46 )

= ( 31.74 ,  34.66 )

Can anyone help me with my homework

Answers

Answer:

1) NO

2) YES

3) YES

4) YES

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relation that maps elements from a set (the domain, the set of the inputs) into elements from another set (the range, the set of the outputs).

The condition for a function is that each element in the domain can be mapped into only one element in the range.

(Or each input can be mapped into only one output).

Now let's apply this theory to the exercises here.

In all the cases we have relations, so we need to check if one (or more) of the inputs is mapped into more than one output.

Also remember that in the point notation (x, y) the first value is the input and the second is the output.

1)

Here we can see the points (-1, 5) and (-1, 2)

So the input -1 is mapped into two different outputs, 5 and 2.

This means that this is not a function.

2)

In this case, we can see that all the inputs are different (1, -2, 3, 5), so this is a function.

3)

Again, here we can see that each input is being mapped into only one output, then this is a function.

4)

In a graph, the horizontal position represents the input value and the vertical position represents the output value.

One way to tell if a graph belongs to a function or not, is to see if there is a vertical line such that more than one point intersects that line. If that happens, then we have two points with the same input value but different output value and the relation is not a function.

In this case, we can see that this does not happen, and then we can conclude that the graph represents a function.
