A group of engineers developed a new design for a steel cable. They need to estimate the amount of weight the cable can hold. The weight limit will be reported on cable packaging. The engineers take a random sample of 43 cables and apply weights to each of them until they break. The 43 cables have a mean breaking weight of 774.3 lb. The standard deviation of the breaking weight for the sample is 15.4 lb. Find the 90% confidence interval to estimate the mean breaking weight for this type cable.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

At   90% confidence interval, the estimate of the mean breaking weight is (770.45, 778.15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

sample size n =43

sample mean x = 774.3

standard deviation = 15.4

confidence interval = 90%

At C.I of  90% , the level of significance ∝ = 1 - C.I

the level of significance ∝ = 1 - 0.90

the level of significance ∝ = 0.10

The critical  value for z at this level of significance is [tex]z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.10/2}[/tex]

[tex]z_{0.05}[/tex] = 1.64

The margin of error can be computed as follows:

Margin of error = [tex]\mathtt{z_{\alpha/2} \times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

Margin of error =  [tex]\mathtt{1.64 \times \dfrac{15.4}{\sqrt{43}}}[/tex]

Margin of error = [tex]\mathtt{1.64 \times \dfrac{15.4}{6.5574}}[/tex]

Margin of error  = [tex]\mathtt{1.64 \times2.3485}[/tex]

Margin of error = 3.8515

The mean breaking weight  for the 90% confidence interval is = [tex]\mathtt{\overline x \pm E < \mu }[/tex]

=  [tex]\mathtt{\overline x - E < \mu < \overline x + E}[/tex]

= ( 774.3 - 3.8515  < μ < 774.3 + 3.8515 )

= (770.4485, 778.1515)

[tex]\simeq[/tex] (770.45, 778.15)

Answers

Answer:

x + y + z = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Give equations are,

2x + 3y - z = 5 --------(1)

x - 3y + 2z = -6 --------(2)

3x + y - 4z = -8 --------(3)

By adding equations (1) and (2),

(2x + 3y - z) + (x - 3y + 2z) = 5 - 6

3x + z = -1 -------(4)

By multiplying equation (3) by 3, then by adding to equation (2)

(9x + 3y - 12z) + (x - 3y + 2z) = -24 - 6

10x - 10z = -30

x - z = -3 --------- (5)

By adding equation (4) and (5),

(3x + z) + (x - z) = -1 - 3

4x = -4

x = -1

From equation (5),

-1 - z = -3

z = 2

From equation (1),

2(-1) + 3y - 2 = 5

-2 + 3y - 2 = 5

3y = 5 + 4

y = 3

Therefore, x + y + z = -1 + 3 + 2

intercept is the length from origin to intersection point of respective axis,

it intersects x axis at -7.5 and y is 0 so x intercept is (-7.5,0)

and similarly, y intercept is (0,5.5)

Answer:

(- 7.5, 0 ) and (0, 5.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The x- intercept is the value of x on the x- axis where the line crosses.

Here the line crosses the x- axis at - 7.5 , thus the coordinates of x- intercept

(- 7.5, 0 )

The y- intercept is the value of y on the y- axis where the line crosses.

Here the line crosses the y- axis at 5.5 thus the coordinates of the y- intercept

the work in an office takes 180 hours to complete every work
each person in the office works for 35 hours a week
what is the smallest number of people needed to complete the work?​

Answers

Answer:

Minimum People required = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total hours required to complete the work every week = 150 hrs.

Number of hours worked per week by one person = 32 hr

∴ Number of people required to complete the work per week = Total number of hrs to complete the work ÷ No of hrs work per person

∴ Number of people = 150 ÷ 32

∴ Number of people = 4.6875

This is the minimum number of people. But no of people cannot be a fraction.

Thus, rounding the number to next integer.

∴ Smallest number of people needed to complete the work = 5

A group of friends went to lunch and spent a total of $76, which included the food bill and a tip of $16. They decided to split the bill and tip evenly among themselves

Answers

Complete question:

A group of 8 friends went to lunch and spent a total of $76, which included the food bill and a tip of $16. They decided to split the bill and tip evenly among themselves. Which equations and solutions describe the situation? Check all that apply. The equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8 represents the situation, where x is the food bill. The equation 1/8 (x+16)=76 represents the situation, where x is the food bill. The solution x=60 represents the total food bill. The solution x=60 represents each friend’s share of the food bill and tip. The equation 8(x+16)=76 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.

Answer:

The equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8 represents the situation, where x is the food bill

The solution x=60 represents the total food bill

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total amount spent = $76

Amount paid as tip = $16

Number of friends = 8

Total Cost of lunch consists of:

Actual Cost of food + amount of tip

Let actual cost of food = x

Total cost of lunch is thus :

x + $16 = $76

If the friends are to each the bill equally:

Then:

Divide both sides by 8:

(1/8)* (x + 16) = 76/8

Therefore,

(x + 16) / 8 = 76/8

x + 16 = 76 / 8

(x + 16)/8 = 9.5

x + 16 = 9.5 * 8

x + 16 = 76

x = 76 - 16

x = 60

To find the horizontal asymptote(s) you must find the limit as x approaches infinity and the limit as x approaches -infinity.

Using L’Hôpital’s rule:
lim x-> infinity (f(x))=6/11.
lim x-> -infinity (f(x))=6/11.

Answer:

Option (C) : y = 6 / 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Horizontal Asymptote of the function, you need to see degree of of numerator and denominator.

Since, the degrees of the numerator and denominator are the same,

Horizontal Asymptote = leading coefficient of the numerator divided byleading coefficient of the denominator

Therefore,

Horizontal Asymptote = 6 / 11

Fill in the ?s to satisfy the arithmetic progression rule

Answers

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The "arithmetic progression rule" requires the numbers on either side of an edge make an arithmetic progression with the numbers at either end.

If we label the variables 'a', 'b', 'c' clockwise from top, then the rule means we have ...

  2a -b +2c = 1

  2a +2b -c = 7

  -a +2b +2c = -2

Solution

Adding twice the second equation to each of the other two gives ...

  2(2a +2b -c) +(2a -b +2c) = 2(7) +(1)

  6a +3b = 15 . . . . [eq4]

and

  2(2a +2b -c) +(-a +2b +2c) = 2(7) +(-2)

  3a +6b = 12 . . . . [eq5]

Subtracting [eq5] from twice [eq4] we have ...

  2(6a +3b) -(3a +6b) = 2(15) -(12)

  9a = 18

  a = 2

From [eq4], we can find b:

  b = (15 -6a)/3 = 5 -2a = 5 -2(2) = 1

From [eq2] we can find c:

  c = 2(a+b) -7 = 2(2+1) -7 = -1

These values are shown on the diagram below.

Using the empirical​ rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 65.2 and 429.4

Answers

Answer:

The approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean is 99.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 247.3 and a standard deviation of 60.7.

Let X = the blood platelet counts of a group of women

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                                Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 247.3

           [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 60.7

Now, according to the empirical rule;

68% of the data values lie within one standard deviation of the mean.95% of the data values lie within two standard deviations of the mean.99.7% of the data values lie within three standard deviations of the mean.

Since it is stated that we have to calculate the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 65.2 and 429.4, i.e;

         z-score for 65.2 =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

                                     =  [tex]\frac{65.2-247.3}{60.7}[/tex]  = -3

         z-score for 429.4 =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

                                       =  [tex]\frac{429.4-247.3}{60.7}[/tex]  = 3

So, it means that the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean is 99.7%.
