Noise levels at 5 volcanoes were measured in decibels yielding the following data: 127,174,157,120,161 Construct the 98% confidence interval for the mean noise level at such locations. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 3 of 4 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The critical value used is T = 3.747.

The 98% confidence interval for the mean noise level at such locations is (108.944, 186.656).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation.

Sample mean:

[tex]\overline{x} = \frac{127+174+157+120+161}{5} = 147.8[/tex]

Sample standard deviation:

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{(127-147.8)^2+(174-147.8)^2+(157-147.8)^2+(120-147.8)^2+(161-147.8)^2}{4}} = 23.188[/tex]

Confidence interval:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that 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 = 5 - 1 = 4

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 4 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99[/tex]. So we have T = 3.747, which is the critical value used.

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 3.747\frac{23.188}{\sqrt{5}} = 38.856[/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 147.8 - 38.856 = 108.944  

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 147.8 + 38.856 = 186.656.

The 98% confidence interval for the mean noise level at such locations is (108.944, 186.656).

At a time hours after taking a tablet, the rate at which a drug is being eliminated r(t)= 50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)is mg/hr. Assuming that all the drug is eventually eliminated, calculate the original dose.

Answers

Answer:

2500 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since r(t) is the rate at which the drug is being eliminated, we integrate r(t) with t from 0 to ∞ to find the original dose of drug, m. Since all of the drug will be eliminated at time t = ∞.

Since r(t) =  50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

m = ∫₀⁰⁰50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

= 50∫₀⁰⁰(e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

= 50[∫₀⁰⁰e^-01t - ∫₀⁰⁰e^-0.20t]

= 50([e^-01t/-0.01]₀⁰⁰ - [e^-0.20t/-0.02]₀⁰⁰)

= 50(1/-0.01[e^-01(∞) - e^-01(0)] - {1/-0.02[e^-0.02(∞) - e^-0.02(0)]})

= 50(1/-0.01[e^-(∞) - e^-(0)] - {1/-0.02[e^-(∞) - e^-(0)]})

= 50(1/-0.01[0 - 1] - {1/-0.02[0 - 1]})

= 50(1/-0.01[- 1] - {1/-0.02[- 1]})

= 50(1/0.01 - 1/0.02)

= 50(100 - 50)

= 50(50)

= 2500 mg

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation −40m2+10m−1=0

Answers

From the analysis of the discriminant, you obtain that the quadratic function has no real solutions.

In first place, you must know that the roots or solutions of a quadratic function are those values ​​of x for which the expression is 0. This is the values ​​of x such that y = 0. That is, f (x) = 0.

Being the quadratic function f (x)=a*x² + b*x + c, then the solution must be when: 0 =a*x² + b*x + c

The solutions of a quadratic equation can be calculated with the quadratic formula:

[tex]Solutions=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]

The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula under the square root, that is, b² - 4*a*c

The discriminant can be positive, zero or negative and this determines how many solutions (or roots) there are for the given quadratic equation.

If the discriminant:

is positive: the quadratic function has two different real solutions. equal to zero: the quadratic function has a real solution. is negative: none of the solutions are real numbers. That is, it has no real solutions.

In this case, a= -40, b=10 and c= -1. Then, replacing in the discriminant expression:

discriminant= 10² -4*(-40)*(-1)

Solving:

discriminant= 100 - 160

discriminant= -60

The discriminant is negative, so the quadratic function has no real solutions.

A 7% acid solution will be mixed with a 15% acid solution. 20 L of a 12% acid solution needs to be made.

Identify the two variables in the problem by completing the following statements: * Let r represent: Let y represent:​

Answers

Answer:

Let r = amount of the 7% solution

y represent the amount of the 15 percent solution

r =7.5 L

y = 12.5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = amount of the 7% solution

y represent the amount of the 15 percent solution

.07r + .15 y = (r+y) .12

r+y = 20

y = 20-r

.07r + .15 (20-r) = (20) .12

0.07r+0.15(20-r)=2.4

.07r+ 3 - .15r = 2.4

-.08r = 2.4-3

-.08r = -.6

Divide by-.08

r =7.5

y = 20-7.5

y = 12.5

Each machine at a certain factory can produce 90 units per hour.

First, find a formula for the total cost in terms of the number of machines, n:_______
TC = ______
machines for a total cost of The minimum total cost is achieved when using dollars.

Answers

Answer:

a)  [tex]Total Cost=20n+\frac{(\frac{40000}{90}*26)}{n}[/tex]

b)  [tex]n=24[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Rate r=90 units per hour

Setup cost =20

Operating Cost =26

Units=40000

Generally the equation for Total cost is mathematically given by

[tex]Total Cost=20n+\frac{(\frac{40000}{90}*26)}{n}[/tex]

[tex]T_n=20n+\frac{11556}{n}\\\\T_n=\frac{20n^2+11556}{n}.....equ 1[/tex]

Differentiating

[tex]T_n'=\frac{n(40n)-(40n^2+11556)}{n_2}\\\\T_n'=\frac{20n^2-11556}{n^2}.....equ 2[/tex]

Equating equ 1 to zero

[tex]0=\frac{20n^2+11556}{n}[/tex]

[tex]n=24[/tex]

Therefore

Substituting n

For Equ 1

[tex]T_n=\frac{20(24)^2+11556}{24}[/tex]

The profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dogs sold.

Which equation represents y, the profit earned by the hot dog stand for x hot dogs sold? y=48x−2 y=48x+2 y=2x−48 y=2x+48

Answers

Answer:

c. y=2x−48

Explanation:

It is telling us that it costs $48 each morning to buy the day's supply of hot dogs, so we must subtract that from our pay, and it will be our y intercept

It also says he earns $2 per hot dog, so that will be our slope (rate of change)

Hope it helps! :]

y = 2x - 48 equation represents the profit earned by the x hot dog sold.

What is linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic expression in which highest power of the given variable is equals to one.

Given that, the profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dogs sold.

It costs the owner $48 dollars each morning for the day’s supply of hot dogs, buns and mustard, but he earns $2 profit for each hot dog sold.

We need to establish an equation that represents the total profit,

According to the question,

x represents the number of hot dogs sold

y represents the total profit earned

Cost required for supply = $48

Profit on each hot dog sold = $2

As per the condition given, the required linear equation is =

y = 2x - 48

Hence, y = 2x - 48 equation represents the profit earned by the x hot dog sold.

P(x>1410)  

= (1410-1380)/((80)/(sqrt(15)))

= 1.4524

In Waterville, the average daily rainfall in July is 10 mm with a standard deviation of 1.5 mm. Assume that this data is normally distributed. How many days in July would you expect the daily rainfall to be more than 11.5 mm

Answers

Answer:

You should expect 5 days in July with daily rainfall of more than 11.5 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In Waterville, the average daily rainfall in July is 10 mm with a standard deviation of 1.5 mm.

This means that [tex]\mu = 10, \sigma = 1.5[/tex]

Proportion of days with the daily rainfall above 11.5 mm.

1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 11.5. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{11.5 - 10}{1.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.84.

1 - 0.84 = 0.16.

How many days in July would you expect the daily rainfall to be more than 11.5 mm?

July has 31 days, so this is 0.16 of 31.

0.16*31 = 4.96, rounding to the nearest whole number, 5.

You should expect 5 days in July with daily rainfall of more than 11.5 mm.
