Complete Question

Suppose that the amount of time teenagers spend weekly working at part-time jobs is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 40 minutes. A random sample of 15 teenagers was drawn and each reported the amount of the time spent at part-time jobs (in minutes). These are listed here 180, 130, 150, 165, 90, 130, 120, 60, 200, 180, 80, 240, 210, 150, 125. Determine the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is  [tex] 127.09  <  \mu <  167.57 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 40[/tex]

   The sample size is  n  = 15

     The data given is   180, 130, 150, 165, 90, 130, 120, 60, 200, 180, 80, 240, 210, 150, 125

Generally the sample mean is mathematically represented as

             [tex]\= x = \frac{ \sum x_i}{n }[/tex]

=>          [tex]\= x = \frac{ 130 + 150 + \cdots + 125 }{ 15 }[/tex]

=>          [tex]\= x = 147.33[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]E = 1.96  *  \frac{40}{\sqrt{15} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]E =20.24 [/tex]

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex] 147.33 -20.24<  \mu <  147.33 + 20.24 [/tex]

      [tex] 127.09  <  \mu <  167.57 [/tex]

The definition of a derivative is "the slope of the tangent line".

Derivatives of constants are 0.

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 3x² - 4x + 2

Step 2: Find 1st Derivative

Basic Power Rule:                    f'(x) = 2·3x²⁻¹ - 1·4x¹⁻¹Simplify:                                    f'(x) = 6x - 4

Step 3: Find tangent slope

Define:                    f'(x) = 6x - 4, x = 2Substitute:              f'(2) = 6(2) - 4Multiply:                  f'(2) = 12 - 4Subtract:                 f'(2) = 8

Step 4: Identify

f'(2) = 8 tells us that at x = 2, the slope of the tangent line is 8.

Let V=ℝ2 and let H be the subset of V of all points on the line 4x+3y=12. Is H a subspace of the vector space V?

Answers

Answer:

No, it isn't.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have [tex]V=IR^{2}[/tex] and let [tex]H[/tex] be the subset of [tex]V[/tex] of all points on the line

[tex]4x+3y=12[/tex]

We need to find if [tex]H[/tex] is a subspace of the vector space [tex]V[/tex].

In [tex]IR^{2}[/tex] all the possibilities for own subspace of the vector space [tex]IR^{2}[/tex] are :

[tex]IR^{2}[/tex] itself.The vector [tex]0_{IR^{2}}=\left[\begin{array}{c}0&0\end{array}\right][/tex]All lines in [tex]IR^{2}[/tex] that passes through the origin  (  [tex]0_{IR^{2}}=\left[\begin{array}{c}0&0\end{array}\right][/tex]  )

We know that [tex]H[/tex] is the subset of [tex]IR^{2}[/tex] of all points on the line [tex]4x+3y=12[/tex]

If we look at the equation, the point [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}0&0\end{array}\right][/tex] doesn't verify it because :

[tex]4x+3y=12\\4(0)+3(0)=12\\0=12[/tex]

Which is an absurd. Therefore, [tex]H[/tex] doesn't contain the origin (and [tex]H[/tex] is a line in [tex]IR^{2}[/tex]). Finally, it can't be a vector space of [tex]V=IR^{2}[/tex]

Use a calculator, spreadsheet, or another tool to solve for the unknown sides of the given right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse is 12. a is the length of the side opposite the 10 degree angle and b is the length of the opposite angle B. Round your answers to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

2 TIMES 3

The length of the side a and b is 2.0837 and 11.8176 respectively.

Length of side a and b to be determine, hypotenuse is 12 and a is the length of the side opposite the 10 degree angle and b is the length of the opposite angle B.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is branch of mathematics that helps in elevation and angle problems.

Let assume that one angle of triangle is right angle.
So in right angles triangle,
hypotenuse = 12
cos10 =  length of b /12
length of b = 12 cos10
length of b = 11.8176

Now,
sin 10 =length of a/ 12
length of a = 12 sin10
length of a = 2.0837

Thus, the length of the side a and b is 2.0837 and 11.8176 respectively.

A downtown parking garage charges individuals to park a car according to the following rate schedule: $1.00 for the first hour, then $2 for each subsequent hour until the daily maximum charge of $9.00 is reached. These charges are represented in the graph below.

which of the following is true?

Answers

Answer:

In the graph, a white dot means that the value does not belong to the set, while the colored dot means that the value does belong.

Let's analyze each statement (from top to bottom)

1)The x-axis represents the number of hours, and the y-axis the charge.

Then let's find x = 2.

You can see that there is a colored dot at y = $3, and a white dot at y = $5.

Then the price for exactly two hours is $3, not $5.

Then this first statement is wrong.

2) You can assume that 20 minutes is in between x = 0 and x =1, then from that point, you can see that the equivalent value of y is $1. Then the individuals who park only for 20 minutes will be charged with $1,

This statement is wrong.

3) 1 hour and 15 minutes is in between 1 and 2 hours.

And as you can see, for 1 < x ≤ 2, the price is $3. Then this statement is correct.

4) Here we have x > 4.

In the graph you can see that all values of x > 4 are mapped into the black part of the graph, which is equivalent to the maximum charge of $9.

Then this statement is correct.
