A, B and C are collinear points. B is between A and C. AB=12 BC=18 AC=3x Find X.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x =10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]AB = 12[/tex]

[tex]BC = 18[/tex]

[tex]AC = 3x[/tex]

Required

Solve for x

Since B is in between both points, then:

[tex]AC = AB + BC[/tex]

This gives

[tex]3x = 12 + 18[/tex]

[tex]3x = 30[/tex]

Divide by 3

[tex]x =10[/tex]

Instead of keeping track of the weekly total number of crunches, Mr. Shin keeps track of how they do compared to the week before, and then records the result as a positive or negative number. Record the number for each of the following:


Ben did 10 more crunches this week than last week. What number would Mr. Shin record?

Gail did 8 less crunches this week than last week. What number would Mr. Shin record?

Nathaniel did the same number of crunches this week as last week. What number would Mr. Shin record?

Working for a car company, you have been assigned to find the average miles per gallon (mpg) for acertain model of car. you take a random sample of 15 cars of the assigned model. based on previous evidence and a qq plot, you have reason to believe that the gas mileage is normally distributed. you find that the sample average miles per gallon is around 26.7 with a standard deviation of 6.2 mpg.

a. Construct and interpret a 95% condence interval for the mean mpg, , for the certain model of car.
b. What would happen to the interval if you increased the condence level from 95% to 99%? Explain
c. The lead engineer is not happy with the interval you contructed and would like to keep the width of the whole interval to be less than 4 mpg wide. How many cars would you have to sample to create the interval the engineer is requesting?

Answers

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean mpg, for the certain model of car is (23.3, 30.1). This means that we are 95% sure that the true mean mpg of the model of the car is between 23.3 mpg and 30.1 mpg.

b) Increasing the confidence level, the value of T would increase, thus increasing the margin of error and making the interval wider.

c) 37 cars would have to be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have the sample standard deviation, and thus, the t-distribution is 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 = 15 - 1 = 14

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 14 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.1448

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.1448\frac{6.2}{\sqrt{15}} = 3.4[/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 26.7 - 3.4 = 23.3 mpg.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 26.7 + 3.4 = 30.1 mpg.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean mpg, for the certain model of car is (23.3, 30.1). This means that we are 95% sure that the true mean mpg of the model of the car is between 23.3 mpg and 30.1 mpg.

b. What would happen to the interval if you increased the confidence level from 95% to 99%? Explain

Increasing the confidence level, the value of T would increase, thus increasing the margin of error and making the interval wider.

c. The lead engineer is not happy with the interval you constructed and would like to keep the width of the whole interval to be less than 4 mpg wide. How many cars would you have to sample to create the interval the engineer is requesting?

Width is twice the margin of error, so a margin of error of 2 would be need. To solve this, we have to consider the population standard deviation as [tex]\sigma = 6.2[/tex], and then use the z-distribution.

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 Z-table as such z has a p-value 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.

How many cars would you have to sample to create the interval the engineer is requesting?

This is n for which M = 2. So

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

[tex]2 = 1.96\frac{6.2}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{n} = 1.96*6.2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*6.2}{2}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*6.2}{2})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 36.9[/tex]

Rounding up:

37 cars would have to be sampled.

Which of the following is an advantage of using systematic random sampling?

Systematic random sampling reduces sampling variability.
Systematic random sampling does not require a finite population size.
Systematic random sampling could inadvertently miss patterns in the population.
Systematic random sampling uses clusters, which are close in proximity, making data collection easier.

Answers

This is a question that asks about the advantages of a systematic random sampling. Thus, we first take a look at the types of sampling, and then we see the advantage of systematic random sampling.

Samples may be classified as:

Convenient: Sample drawn from a conveniently available pool.

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

Systematic:

One of the bigger advantages is that the systematic sampling eliminate clusters, which means that the last option is wrong.

Inadvertently missing patterns is a problem in systematic sampling, and not an advantage, thus the third option is also wrong.

It also does not reduce sampling variability, thus the first option is wrong.

From this, it can be concluded that the correct option is:

Systematic random sampling does not require a finite population size.

The distribution of widgets from a production line is known to be approximately normal with mean 2.7 inches and standard deviation 0.25 inches. About 95% of the distribution lies between what two values?
A. 2.45 inches and 3.2 inches
B. 2.45 inches and 2.95 inches
C. 2.2 inches and 3.2 inches
D. 1.95 inches and 3.45 inches

Answers

Option D is correct. 95% of the distribution lies between 1.9975inches and 3.4025inches.

To get the required range of values, we will have to first get the z-score for the two-tailed probability at a 95% confidence interval. According to the normal table, the required range is between -2.81 and 2.81

The formula for calculating the z-score is expressed as;

[tex]z=\frac{x-\overline x}{s}[/tex] where:

[tex]\overline x[/tex] is the mean

s is the standard deviation

z is the z-scores

Given the following

[tex]\overline x[/tex]=2.7 in

s = 0.25

if z = -2.81

[tex]-2.81=\frac{x-2.7}{0.25}\\x-2.7=-2.81*0.25\\x-2.7=-0.7025\\x=-0.7025+2.7\\x=1.9975[/tex]

Similarly:

[tex]2.81=\frac{x_2-2.7}{0.25}\\x_2-2.7=2.81*0.25\\x_2-2.7=0.7025\\x_2=0.7025+2.7\\x_2=3.4025[/tex]

Hence the 95% of the distribution lies between 1.9975inches and 3.4025inches.

Evaluate the line integral, where C is the given curve. C (x yz) dx 2x dy xyz dz, C consists of line segments (3, 0, 1) to (4, 3, 1) and from (4, 3, 1) to (4, 5, 4)

Answers

Split up C into two component paths C₁ and C₂, where each line segment is respectively parameterized by

r₁(t) = (1 - t ) (3i + k) + t (4i + 3j + k) = (t + 3) i + 3t j + k

r₂(t) = (1 - t ) (4i + 3j + k) + t (4i + 5j + 4k) = 4i + (2t + 3) j + (3t + 1) k

both with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.

It's a bit unclear what function you're supposed to integrate (looks like xyz ?) so I'll give a more general result. The line integral of a scalar function f(x, y, z) along the given path C is

[tex]\displaystyle \int_C f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm ds = \int_{C_1}f(\mathbf r_1(t))\left\|\frac{\mathrm d\mathbf r_1}{\mathrm dt}\right\|\,\mathrm dt + \int_{C_1}f(\mathbf r_2(t))\left\|\frac{\mathrm d\mathbf r_2}{\mathrm dt}\right\|\,\mathrm dt[/tex]

We have

dr/dt = i + 3j   ==>   || dr/dt || = √(1² + 3²) = √10

dr/dt = 2j + 3k   ==>   || dr/dt || = √(2² + 3²) = √13

Then the integrals reduce to

[tex]\displaystyle \int_0^1 \left(\sqrt{10}\,f(t+3,3t,1) + \sqrt{13}\,f(4,2t+3,3t+1)\right)\,\mathrm dt[/tex]

If indeed f(x, y, z) = xyz, then we have

[tex]\displaystyle \int_0^1 \left(3\sqrt{10}\,t(t+3) + 4\sqrt{13}\,(2t+3)(3t+1)\right)\,\mathrm dt = 11\sqrt{\frac52}+42\sqrt{13}[/tex]
