According to 2013 report from Population Reference Bureau, the mean travel time to work of workers ages 16 and older who did not work at home was 30.7 minutes for NJ State with a standard deviation of 23 minutes. Assume the population is normally distributed.

Required:
a. If a worker is selected at random, what is the probability that his travel time to work is less than 30 minutes?
b. Specify the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample means, for samples of size 36.
c. What is the probability that in a random sample of 36 NJ workers commuting to work, the mean travel time to work is above 35 minutes?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 48.80% probability that his travel time to work is less than 30 minutes

b) The mean is 30.7 minutes and the standard deviation is of 3.83 minutes.

c) 13.13% probability that in a random sample of 36 NJ workers commuting to work, the mean travel time to work is above 35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 30.7, \sigma = 23[/tex]

a. If a worker is selected at random, what is the probability that his travel time to work is less than 30 minutes?

This is the pvlaue of Z when X = 30. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{30 - 30.7}{23}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.03[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.03[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.4880.

48.80% probability that his travel time to work is less than 30 minutes

b. Specify the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample means, for samples of size 36.

[tex]n = 36[/tex]

Applying the Central Limit Theorem, the mean is 30.7 minutes and the standard deviation is [tex]s = \frac{23}{\sqrt{36}} = 3.83[/tex]

c. What is the probability that in a random sample of 36 NJ workers commuting to work, the mean travel time to work is above 35 minutes?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 35. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{35 - 30.7}{3.83}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.12[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.12[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8687

1 - 0.8687 = 0.1313

13.13% probability that in a random sample of 36 NJ workers commuting to work, the mean travel time to work is above 35 minutes

which one of the following solids produces these two-dimensional shape when sliced horizontally?

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Two forces of magnitudes 16 and 20 pounds are acting on an object. The bearings of the forces are N75E and S20E (that is, 75∘ east of north and 20∘ east of south), respectively. How many degrees east of south is the resultant force? (Round to two decimal places and do not enter the ∘ symbol.)

Answers

Answer:

20.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Force A = 16 pounds

direction = N75E = 75° in the first quadrant

Force B = 20 pounds

direction = S20E = 180° - 20° = 160° in the fourth quadrants

we resolve the forces into their x and y resultant forces.

For the y axis forces,

-(16 x sin 75°) + (20 x sin 160°) = Fy

-15.45 + 6.84 = Fy

Fy = -8.61 N

For the x axis forces'

(16 x cos 75°) + (20 x cos 160°) = Fx

-4.14 - 18.79 = Fx

Fx = -22.93 N

Resultant force = [tex]\sqrt{(Fx)^{2} + (Fy)^{2} }[/tex] =  [tex]\sqrt{(-8.61)^{2} + (-22.93)^{2} }[/tex]

Resultant force = 24.49 N

angle made by the resultant force is,

∅ = [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex] [tex]\frac{Fy}{Fx}}[/tex]

∅  =  [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex] [tex]\frac{-8.61}{-22.93}}[/tex]

∅ =  [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex] 0.3755

∅ = 20.58

Luggage checked-in at Airline A arrives on time to its intended destination with a probability of 0.63. In a random sample of 2000 bags, what would be the mean number of bags (out of the 2000) that arrive on time to its intended destination. Also find the standard deviation. Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

The mean number of bags that arrive on time to its intended destination is 1260 with a standard deviation of 21.59.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each bag, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it arrives on time to it's intended destination, or it does not. The probability of a bag arriving on time is independent of other bags. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Luggage checked-in at Airline A arrives on time to its intended destination with a probability of 0.63.

This means that [tex]p = 0.63[/tex]

In a random sample of 2000 bags

This means that [tex]n = 2000[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation of the number of bags that arrive on time to its intended destination:

[tex]E(X) = np = 2000*0.63 = 1260[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{2000*0.63*0.37} = 21.59[/tex]

The mean number of bags that arrive on time to its intended destination is 1260 with a standard deviation of 21.59.

Answers

Answer:

66%

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of homes have both features.

The percentage of homes that have a pool and no garage is:

Pool only = 19% - 15% = 4%

The percentage of homes that have a garage and no pool is:

Garage only = 62% - 15% = 47%

Therefore, the percentage of homes that have a pool, a garage or both is:

Find the function y1 of t which is the solution of 121y′′+110y′−24y=0 with initial conditions y1(0)=1,y′1(0)=0. y1= Note: y1 is a linear combination of the two independent solutions of this differential equation that you found first. You are not being asked for just one of these. You will need to determine the values of the two constant parameters c1 and c2. Similarly for finding y2 below. Find the function y2 of t which is the solution of 121y′′+110y′−24y=0 with initial conditions y2(0)=0,y′2(0)=1. y2= Find the Wronskian W(t)=W(y1,y2). W(t)= Remark: You can find W by direct computation and use Abel's theorem as a check. You should find that W is not zero and so y1 and y2 form a fundamental set of solutions of 121y′′+110y′−24y=0.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The original equation is [tex]121y''+110y'-24y=0[/tex]. We propose that the solution of this equations is of the form [tex] y = Ae^{rt}[/tex]. Then, by replacing the derivatives we get the following

[tex]121r^2Ae^{rt}+110rAe^{rt}-24Ae^{rt}=0= Ae^{rt}(121r^2+110r-24)[/tex]

Since we want a non trival solution, it must happen that A is different from zero. Also, the exponential function is always positive, then it must happen that

[tex]121r^2+110r-24=0[/tex]

Recall that the roots of a polynomial of the form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] are given by the formula

[tex] x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In our case a = 121, b = 110 and c = -24. Using the formula we get the solutions

[tex]r_1 = -\frac{12}{11}[/tex]

[tex]r_2 = \frac{2}{11}[/tex]

So, in this case, the general solution is [tex]y = c_1 e^{\frac{-12t}{11}} + c_2 e^{\frac{2t}{11}}[/tex]

a) In the first case, we are given that y(0) = 1 and y'(0) = 0. By differentiating the general solution and replacing t by 0 we get the equations

[tex]c_1 + c_2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]c_1\frac{-12}{11} + c_2\frac{2}{11} = 0[/tex](or equivalently [tex]c_2 = 6c_1[/tex]

By replacing the second equation in the first one, we get [tex]7c_1 = 1 [/tex] which implies that [tex] c_1 = \frac{1}{7}, c_2 = \frac{6}{7}[/tex].

So [tex]y_1 = \frac{1}{7}e^{\frac{-12t}{11}} + \frac{6}{7}e^{\frac{2t}{11}}[/tex]

b) By using y(0) =0 and y'(0)=1 we get the equations

[tex] c_1+c_2 =0[/tex]

[tex]c_1\frac{-12}{11} + c_2\frac{2}{11} = 1[/tex](or equivalently [tex]-12c_1+2c_2 = 11[/tex]

By solving this system, the solution is [tex]c_1 = \frac{-11}{14}, c_2 = \frac{11}{14}[/tex]

Then [tex]y_2 = \frac{-11}{14}e^{\frac{-12t}{11}} + \frac{11}{14} e^{\frac{2t}{11}}[/tex]

c)

The Wronskian of the solutions is calculated as the determinant of the following matrix

[tex]\left| \begin{matrix}y_1 & y_2 \\ y_1' & y_2'\end{matrix}\right|= W(t) = y_1\cdot y_2'-y_1'y_2[/tex]

By plugging the values of [tex]y_1[/tex] and

We can check this by using Abel's theorem. Given a second degree differential equation of the form y''+p(x)y'+q(x)y the wronskian is given by

[tex]e^{\int -p(x) dx}[/tex]

In this case, by dividing the equation by 121 we get that p(x) = 10/11. So the wronskian is

[tex]e^{\int -\frac{10}{11} dx} = e^{\frac{-10x}{11}}[/tex]

Note that this function is always positive, and thus, never zero. So [tex]y_1, y_2[/tex] is a fundamental set of solutions.

plane so that A is (0,0), B is (a,0), Cis (a, b), and Dis (0, b).
What formula can he use to determine the distance from point D to point A?

Answers

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle were A(0, 0), B(a, 0), C(a, b) and D(0, b)

Formula to determine the distance between two points with the vertices (x, y) and (x', y') is,

d = [tex]\sqrt{(x-x')^2+(y-y')^2}[/tex]

For the length of AD,

AD = [tex]\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(b-0)^2}[/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{b^2}[/tex]

     = b

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.

Hello!

The statistical model predicts the appraised value of houses in a section of the county East Meadow (Y) in relationship with the number of rooms of the house (X)

For a sample of n=64 houses the simple linear regression was estimated:

^Y= 74.80 + 24.93X

Range of X: 5 - 11

Range of Y: 160 - 300 ($ thousands of dollars)

Interpretation of the estimates of the y-intercept and the slope

y-intercept:

74.80 thousand dollars is the estimated average value of a house in a section of the county East Meadow when the house has zero rooms.

Slope:

24.93 [tex]\frac{thousand dollars}{rooms}[/tex] is the modification of the estimated average value of a house in a section of the county East Meadow when the number of rooms increases on one.

Answers

Answer:

Class width = 20

Approximate lower class limit of the first class = 110

Approximate Upper class limit of the first class = 119

Step-by-step Explanation:

The class width of the histogram attached below can be gotten by finding the difference between successive lower class limits.

Thus, class width = 130 - 110 = 20

The approximate lower class limit of the first class is the lowest score we have in the first class = 110

The approximate upper class limit of the first class is the closest highest score that fall within the first class and is below the lower limit of the second class. Thus approximate upper class limit of the first class = 129
