The mayor is interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of pounds of trash per person per week that is generated in city. The study included 120 residents whose mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week was 31.5 pounds and the standard deviation was 7.8 pounds.

Round your answers to two decimal places.

A. The sampling distribution follows a ______ distribution.

B. With 95% confidence the population mean number of pounds per person per week is between_____ and_____ pounds.

C. If many groups of 120 randomly selected people in the city are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About_____ percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week and about________ percent will not contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Normal

B. 30.1, 32.9

C. 95, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The sampling distribution follows a normal distribution

Given that the sample size is large, we have that the sample distribution follows a normal distribution according to the central limit theorem

B. The 95% confidence interval is given as follows;

[tex]CI=\bar{x}\pm z \times \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

The number of residents in the study, n = 120 residents

The sample mean, [tex]\overline x[/tex] = 31.5 pounds

The standard deviation, s = 7.8 pounds

The z-value for 95% confidence level, z = 1.96

Therefore, we get;

C.I. = 31.5 ± 1.96 × 7.8/√(120)

The 95% C.I. ≈ 30.1 ≤ [tex]\overline x[/tex] ≤ 32.9

Therefore, we have that with 95% confidence, the population mean number of pounds per person per week is between 30.1 and 32.9

C. Therefore, according to the central limit theorem, about 95 percent of the groups of 120 will contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week and about 5 percent will not contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week.

a) Determine the following and show all work: [3 marks]

i) interquartile range (IQR)

ii) upper boundary and lower boundary

iii) any outlier(s)


b) Create a modified box plot for the data, showing any outlier(s). [1 mark]


c) In order for a hotel to be recommended by travel blog TravelWell, its score must be the 80th percentile or higher. What is the minimum rating a hotel can achieve in order to be recommended by TravelWell based on this sample? [2 marks]

Answers

Answer:

a)

i) Interquartile range is   2.4  

ii) Upper boundary is 10.8  

The Lower boundary is 1.2  

iii) Outliers are points above the upper boundary or below the lower boundary  

There is one outlier: 1.1

b) The modified boxplot with one outlier is given in the diagram.                                                          

c) The 80th percentile is    

The minimum rating the hotel can get is 7.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

i) Interquartile range is  

IQR = Q3-Q1 = 7.2-4.8 = 2.4  

ii) Upper boundary = Q3+ 1.5 *IQR = 7.2+1.5*2.4 = 10.8  

Lower boundary = Q1 - 1.5*IQR = 4.8- 1.5*2.4 = 1.2  

iii) Outliers are points above the upper boundary or below the lower boundary  

There is one outlier: 1.1  

c) The 80th percentile is given by  

n= 12  

k = 0.80  

Index is given by k*n =0.80*12 = 9.6  

Round to nearest whole number, that is 10th  

80th percentile is the 10th number (arranged in ascending order)  

80th percentile = 7.3  

The minimum rating the hotel can get is 7.3.

b) The modified boxplot with one outlier is given as follows,

passes through (−3, 7) and is parallel to y = 4x − 1.

Answers

Answer:

Equation of the line is y = 4x + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

slope, m = 4

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

consider (-3, 7):

[tex]7 = (4 \times - 3) + c \\ 7 = - 12 + c \\ c = 19[/tex]

equation:

[tex]y = 4x + 19[/tex]

Answer:

y = 4x + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 4x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 4

Parallel lines have equal slopes, then

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, 7) into the partial equation

7 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = 7 + 12 = 19

y = 4x + 19 ← equation of parallel line

Answers

Answer:

$0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the unit rate.

[tex]\frac{Dollars}{Cookies}=\frac{9}{15}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{15}{15}=\frac{0.6}{1}[/tex]

Therefore, the cost for one cookie is $0.60.

Answer:

$0.60

You need to find the unit rate. Unit rate is a ratio of 1 to another number, written like 1 : ?.

If a box of 15 cookies costs $9, and you want to find the price of one cookie, then you will need to use unit rate.

Start with the ratio of cookies to dollars.

15:9

Now, you need to find out the cost of one cookie. To do this, you will need to divide 9 by 15 (9/15) because you're trying to split 9 into 15 cookies.

9÷15= .6

But, you can't have .6 dollars, so the answer will be $0.60, or 60 cents.

If a fourth plant produces 150 widgets in 60 days, which statement is true?

A. It makes more than Plant A.
B. It makes less than Plant B.
C. It makes less than Plant A.

Answers

Answer: C. It makes less than Plant A.

====================================================

Explanation:

At the 60 day mark, the following number of widgets are produced

Plant A = 300 widgetsPlant B = 100 widgetsPlant C = 200 widgets

The fourth plant makes 150 widgets, which is between B and C

We see that the fourth plant does not make more than Plant A, so we can rule out choice A.

The fourth plant does not make less than Plant B, which allows us to rule out choice B.

The only thing left is choice C. Sure enough, this statement is true since 150 widgets made at the fourth plant is less than 300 made in Plant A. This is why choice C is the answer.

Round the number 553 to the tens place.
is it 550? because 3 is less than 5 so I replace it with a 0

Answers

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

To round 553 to the tens place, we would need to identify the value of the digit in the ones place.

If the digit in the ones place is greater than 5, we increase the tens place by 1 & convert the ones place into a 0.

If not, we leave the tens place as is & convert the ones place into a 0.

Since 3 is less than 5, we round 553 to 550 so you are correct.

Find measure of one exterior angle in each regular polygon

Answers

Answer:

Pentagon = 72°

Octagon = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the measure of one exterior angle in a regular pentagon;

n = number of sides

180 - (180 x n-2/n)

180 - (180 x 5-2/5)

180 - (180 x 3/5)

180 - (540/5)

180 - 108

Exterior angle = 72°

To solve for the measure of one exterior angle in a regular octagon;

n = number of sides

180 - (180 x n-2/n)

180 - (180 x 8-2/8)

180 - (180 x 6/8)

180 - (1080/8)

180 - 135

Exterior angle = 45°

What is quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x , ax²+bx+c=0. with a ≠ 0 .

The discriminant of a quadratic equation in standard form, ax² + bx + c = 0, is given by the expression b² - 4ac.

The given equation is -2x² = -8x+8

a = -2, b = 8, and c = -8.

Substituting these values into the formula for the discriminant, we get:

b² - 4ac = (8)² - 4(-2)(-8)

= 64 - 64

= 0

Therefore, the discriminant is equal to 0.

When the discriminant is equal to 0, it means that the quadratic equation has one real number solution (a double root) because the quadratic formula will give only one root.

Hence,  the discriminant is equal to 0, the equation -2x² = -8x + 8 has one real number solution.
