A delivery truck manager takes a sample of 25 delivery trucks and calculates the sample mean and sample standard deviation for the cost of operation. A 95% confidence interval for the population mean cost is constructed and found to be $253 to $320. He reasons that this interval contains the mean operating cost for the entire fleet of delivery trucks since the sample mean is contained in this interval.

Required:
a. Do you agree with his reasoning?
b. How would you interpret this confidence interval?
c. Is this an appropriate use of a confidence interval?
d. Concerning your answers to parts a through c, what assumptions did you make (if any)? Does the Central Limit Theorem apply? Why or why not?
e. How does this apply or could apply to your profession?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) No.

b) Lies between 253 and 320.

c) No.

d) Central limit theorem is not applicable here.

e) The process of estimation can always help us make the right prediction about future sales, demands, costs, profits, and so on based on the past data or any such data available and hence take the correct decision

Step-by-step explanation:

1) No I do not agree, it's just because the mean should be always within the confidence interval. in this case, the above statement doesn't satisfy the condition.  

2)The true mean values at 95% confidence interval lies between 253 and 320.  

3) No, because this is only used for the difference in mean. If there is a difference then the mean is different.  

4) Central limit theorem is not applicable here. Since the sample size is very small, it better to use t distribution rather which indicated normal data.  

in case the sample size is greater than 30, we can then apply the central limit theorem.

5) The process of estimation can always help us make the right prediction about future sales, demands, costs, profits, and so on based on the past data or any such data available and hence take the correct decision.

The sound pressure P for a given sound is given by:
P= 10 log W/ Wo
Its units are decibels (dB). W is the size of a variable energy source (called the sound power), measured in Watts. Wo is the lowest threshold of sound that humans can typically hear. It is a constant given by:
Wo=10^-12 W/m2
a) Find the rate of change of the sound pressure P with respect to time if W=7.2 and dW/dt = 0.5 at some given time t.
b) If the variable sound power W is given by W = t2 +t +1, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 3s.
c) If W = cos 0.2t, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 15 (calculators in radians)

Answers

Answer:

a. 0.302 dB/s

b. 2.34 dB/s

c. 1.24 dB/s

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Find the rate of change of the sound pressure P with respect to time if W=7.2 and dW/dt = 0.5 at some given time t.

Since P = 10log(W/W₀), its rate of change with respect to time is

dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt

dP/dW = d[10logW - 10logW₀]/dt

dP/dW = d[10lnW/2.303 - 10logW₀]/dt

= 10/2.303W - 0

= 10/(2.303W)

dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt

dP/dt = 10/(2.303W) × dW/dt

Since dW/dt = 0.5 when W = 7.2, then

dP/dt = 10/(2.303 × 7.2) × 0.5

dP/dt = 10/16.5816 × 0.5

dP/dt = 0.603 × 0.5

dP/dt = 0.302 dB/s

b) If the variable sound power W is given by W = t² + t + 1, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 3s.

Since P = 10log(W/W₀), its rate of change with respect to time is

dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt

dP/dW = d[10logW - 10logW₀]/dt

dP/dW = d[10lnW/2.303 - 10logW₀]/dt

= 10/2.303W - 0

= 10/(2.303W)

and dW/dt = d(t² + t + 1)/dt = 2t + 1

So, dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt

dP/dt = 10/(2.303W) × (2t + 1)

dP/dt = 10(2t + 1)/(2.303W)

dP/dt = 10(2t + 1)/[2.303(t² + t + 1)]

we then substitute t = 3 into the equation

dP/dt = 10(2t + 1)/[2.303(t² + t + 1)]

dP/dt = 10(2(3) + 1)/[2.303((3)² + 3 + 1)]

dP/dt = 10(6 + 1)/[2.303(9 + 3 + 1)]

dP/dt = 10(7)/[2.303(13)]

dP/dt = 70/29.939

dP/dt = 2.34 dB/s

c) If W = cos 0.2t, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 15 (calculators in radians)

Since dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt and dP/dW = 10/(2.303W) and W = cos(0.2t), dW/dt = -0.2sin(0.2t)

So, dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt

dP/dt = 10/(2.303W) × -0.2sin(0.2t)

dP/dt = -20sin(0.2t)/(2.303W)

dP/dt = -20sin(0.2t)/(2.303cos(0.2t))

dP/dt = -20tan(0.2t)/2.303

when t = 15, we have

dP/dt = -20tan(0.2 × 15)/2.303

dP/dt = -20tan3/2.303

dP/dt = -20 × -0.1425/2.303

dP/dt = 2.8509/2.303

dP/dt = 1.238

dP/dt ≅ 1.24 dB/s

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

BUG is 30 degrees more than GUY

So that means if <GUY = x

< BUG = <GUY + 30

Together they make 180 degrees

<BUG + <GUY = 180        Substitute for <BUG

<GUY + 30 <GUY = 180  Combine

2*<GUY + 30 = 180          Subtract 30 from both sides

2*<GUY = 150                   Divide by 2

<GUY = 150/2

<GUY = 75

<BUG = 75 + 30

Answer:

m(∠y) = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

m(∠e) = 90°

m(∠b) + 67° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

m(∠b) = 180 - 67

          = 113°

m(∠c) + 75° = 180°  [Linear pair of angles]

m(∠c) = 105°

m(∠a) = m(∠d)

By the property of a polygon,

Sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by,

Sum of interior angles = (n - 2) × 180°

Here, n = number of sides of the polygon

For n = 5,

Sum of interior angles = (5 - 2)×180°

                                     = 540°

m(∠a) + m(∠b) + m(∠c) + m(∠d) + m(e) = 540°

2m(∠d) + 113° + 105° + 90° = 540°

2m(∠d) + 308 = 540°

2m(∠d) = 540 - 308

m(∠d) = 116°

m(∠d) + m(∠y) = 180°

m(∠y) + 116° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

m(∠y) = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form can be represented as

y=mx+b

To get an equation into this form, we should try to get y all alone.

So then from x+2y=4

first, we can subtract x from both sidesand get 2y=−x+4

then, we can divide both sides by 2 to get it in slope intercept form

Set the expression equal to 100 and get everything to one side

[tex]d^2 - 12d + 45 = 100\\\\d^2 - 12d + 45 - 100 = 0\\\\d^2 - 12d - 55 = 0\\\\[/tex]

Now use the quadratic formula. We'll plug in a = 1, b = -12, c = -55.

[tex]\ d = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\ d = \frac{-(-12)\pm\sqrt{(-12)^2-4(1)(-55)}}{2(1)}\\\\\ d = \frac{12\pm\sqrt{364}}{2}\\\\\ d \approx \frac{12\pm19.07878403}{2}\\\\\ d \approx \frac{12+19.07878403}{2}\ \text{ or } \ d \approx \frac{12-19.07878403}{2}\\\\\ d \approx \frac{31.07878403}{2}\ \text{ or } \ d \approx \frac{-7.07878401}{2}\\\\\ d \approx 15.53939201\ \text{ or } \ d \approx -3.53939201\\\\d \approx 15.54 \ \text{ or } \ d \approx -3.54[/tex]

We'll ignore the negative d value as we can't have a negative number of days.

This means d = 15.54 is the only approximate solution we'll consider.

If we plugged in d = 15, then,

d^2 - 12d + 45

(15)^2 - 12(15) + 45

90

This tells us that 90 masks were sold on day d = 15.

Now try d = 16

d^2 - 12d + 45

(16)^2 - 12(16) + 45

109

We see that 109 masks were sold on day d = 16. Somewhere between those days, 100 masks were sold. At the end of the 15th day, we got to 90. So in the middle of day 16 is when we reach the exact 100 mark we're after.

In short, we would round d = 15.54 up to d = 16 so that we clear the hurdle.

In other words, if you rounded d = 15.54 to d = 15, then you'd be 10 masks short of the goal. Besides, 15.54 rounds to 16 when rounding to the nearest whole number.

Alix is 10 years older than tamia. Alanna is twice as old as tamia. If the sum of their ages is 74, how old is alanna

Answers

Answer:

Alanna is 32 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given that Alix is 10 years older than Tamia and Alanna is twice as old as Tamia.

Since Alix and Alanna's ages are in relation to Tamia's, let's make Tamia's age x

Alix is 10 years older than Tamia, so Alix must be x+10 years old

Alanna is twice as old as Tamia, so she must be 2x years old

We're also given that Alix+Alanna+Tamia=74

When we substitute it with the expressions we have, it becomes:

x+x+10+2x=74

now combine like terms

4x+10=74

subtract 10 from both sides

4x=64

divide both sides by 4

x=16

We found the value of x (Tamia's age)

However, the problem asks for Alanna's age, which we have set as 2x

So Alanna is 2*16, or 32 years old

Equation of a line:

[tex]y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)[/tex]

In which the slope is m and the point is [tex](x_0,y_0)[/tex]

Perpendicular lines:

If two lines are perpendicular, the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

Perpendicular to y=-1/6x+5

Slope of - 1/6, so:

[tex]-\frac{1}{6}m = -1[/tex]

[tex]m = 6[/tex]

So

[tex]y - y_0 = 6(x - x_0)[/tex]

Passes through the point (-3,-8).

This means that [tex]x_0 = -3, y_0 = -8[/tex]. So

[tex]y - y_0 = 6(x - x_0)[/tex]

[tex]y - (-8) = 6(x - (-3))[/tex]
