Fuel Efficiency of Cars and Trucks Since 1975 the average fuel efficiency of U.S. cars and light trucks (SUVs) has increased from 13.5 to 25.8 mpg, an increase of over 90%! A random sample of 40 cars from a large community got a mean mileage of 28.1 mpg per vehicle. The population standard deviation is 4.7 mpg. Estimate the true mean gas mileage with 95% confidence.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]28.1-1.96\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{40}}=26.64[/tex]    

[tex]28.1+ 1.96\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{40}}=29.56[/tex]    

We are confident at 95% of confidence that the true mean for the mpg is between 26.64 and 29.56. And since the lower limit from the confidence interval is highert than 25.8 then we can conclude that we have a significant increase from 1975

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

[tex]\bar X= 28.1[/tex] represent the sample mean

[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean

[tex]\sigma =4.7[/tex] represent the population standard deviation

n=40 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

[tex]\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]   (1)

The Confidence level is is 0.95 or 95%, the significance would be [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex], and we can calculate the critical value using the normal standard distribution and we got [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex]28.1-1.96\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{40}}=26.64[/tex]    

[tex]28.1+ 1.96\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{40}}=29.56[/tex]    

We are confident at 95% of confidence that the true mean for the mpg is between 26.64 and 29.56. And since the lower limit from the confidence interval is highert than 25.8 then we can conclude that we have a significant increase from 1975

Here is the results
3,17,4,4,6,11,14,14,1,20,9,8,9,6,12,7,8,13,13,9.
Belinda wants to show these result in a frequency table.
She will use 4 equal groups.
The first group will start with 1 hour and the last group will end with 20 hours.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she will use 4 groups or class intervals, the the class width would be 20/4 = 5 hours

The class groups would be

1 to 5

5 to 10

10 to 15

15 to 20

The class mark for each class is the average of the minimum and maximum value of each class. Therefore, the class marks are

(1 + 5)/2 = 3

(5 + 10)/2 = 7.5

(10 + 15)/2 = 12.5

(15 + 20)/2 = 17.5

The frequency table would be

Class group Frequency

1 - 5 4

5 - 10 8

10 - 15 6

15 - 20 2

The total frequency is 4 + 8 + 6 + 2 = 20

Which would be a correct first step to solve the following system of equations using the elimination method?

x + 3y = 16
2x + y = -18

A: Add the two equations together

B: Subtract the first equation from the second equation

C: Multiply the first equation by -2

D: Multiply the second equation by 2

Answers

Answer:

C: Multiply the first equation by -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 * (x + 3y = 16) = -2x-6y=-32

The resulting equation would be -2x-6y=-32

In the next if you add the two equations, you will successfuly eliminate x and can now solve for y.

-2x-6y=-32

2x + y = -18

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

x+3y=16________________eqn 1

2x+y=-18_______________eqn 2

multiply first equation by - 2

-2(x+3y=16)

-2x-6y= -32______________eqn 3

using elimination method

-2x-6y= -32

+

2x+y= -18

0-5y= -50

-5y= -50

divide both sides by -5

-5y/5= -50/5

y=10

substitute y in eqn 2 to find the value of x

2x+y= -18

2x+(10)= -18

2x+10= -18

2x= -18-10

2x= -28

divide both sides by 2

2x/2= -28/2

x= -14

An English teacher needs to pick 10 books to put on her reading list for the next school year, and she needs to plan the order in which they should be read. She has narrowed down her choices to 4 novels, 6 plays, 8 poetry books, and 4 nonfiction books. Step 1 of 2 : If she wants to include no more than 3 poetry books, how many different reading schedules are possible? Express your answer in scientific notation rounding to the hundredths place.

Answers

Answer:

the number of possible reading schedules is 1.064301638 × 10¹²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The English teacher needs to pick 10 books to put on her reading list for the next school year.

If the English teacher picks at most  3 poetry books i.e no  more than 3 poetry books from 8 books. and other books are picked from (6+4+4 ) = 14 books

Thus; the number of ways to pick the books are :

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}8\\0\\ \end{array}\right] \ \left[\begin{array}{c}14\\10\\ \end{array}\right]+ \left[\begin{array}{c}8\\1\\ \end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}14\\9\\ \end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{c}8\\2\\ \end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}14\\8\\ \end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{c}8\\3\\ \end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}14\\7 \\ \end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]= [ \dfrac{8!}{0!(8-0)!}* \dfrac{14!}{10!(14-10!)} ] + [ \dfrac{8!}{1!(8-1)!}* \dfrac{14!}{9!(14-9)!}]+ [ \dfrac{8!}{2!(8-2)!}* \dfrac{14!}{8!(14-8)!}] + [ \dfrac{8!}{3!(8-3)!}* \dfrac{14!}{7!(14-7)!}][/tex]

[tex]= [ 1*1001]+[8*2002]+[28*3003]+[56*3432][/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{= 293293}[/tex]

However, to determine how many reading schedules that are possible we use the relation:

Number of ways to pick a book × [tex]^{10}P_{10}[/tex]

[tex]= 293293* \dfrac{10!}{(10-10)!}[/tex]

= 293293 ×  10!

= 1.064301638 × 10¹²

Thus , the number of possible reading schedules is 1.064301638 × 10¹²

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the absolute value |x|, is the non-negative result of x without regard to its sign.

An absolute function, can never have a negative result.

By this alone, you can solve the question because the inequality is false, and therefore there are zero solutions.

Please see the attachment of f(x) = |x - 7|.

When you look at the graph, you can easily confirm that there is no value which can result in a negative y- coordinate like -2. In fact, that is the whole purpose of any absolute value or function. The result of an absolute function can never be negative.

Determine whether the geometric series 192 + 48 + 12 + ... converges or diverges, and identify the sum if it exists.


A.) Converges: 768

B.) Diverges

C.) Converges; 64

D.) Converges; 256

Answers

Answer:

D.) Converges; 256

Step-by-step explanation:

x0= 192

x1 = 48 = 192/4

x2 = 12 = 192/(4 x 4)

Therefore, this series can be written as:

[tex]x_n = \frac{192}{4^n}[/tex]

Applying limits at infinity:

[tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} x_n= \lim_{n \to \infty} (\frac{192}{4^n}) = \frac{192}{\infty}=0[/tex]

Since the terms of the series tend to zero, we can affirm that the series converges.

The sum of an infinite converging series is:

[tex]S=\frac{x_0}{1-r} \\S=\frac{192}{1-\frac{1}{4} }\\S=256[/tex]

Thus, the answer is D.) Converges; 256

Problem PageQuestion The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate parameter of per day. Find the half-life of this substance (that is, the time it takes for one-half the original amount in a given sample of this substance to decay).

Answers

Answer:

8.55 days for a decay rate parameter of 8.1% per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a decay rate parameter of  8.1% per day

the general equation for radioactive decay is;

N = N₀e^(-λt)

x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay 

t-  time 

N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2

N₀ - amount initially present 

substituting the values 

N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)

0.5 = e^(-0.081t)

ln (0.5) = -0.081t

-0.693 = -0.081t

t = 0.693 / 0.081  = 8.55

half life of substance is 8.55 days

A textile manufacturer has historically found an average of 0.1 flaws per square meter of cloth. Let X be the number of flaws in a bolt of 2000 square meters of cloth. How is X distributed

Answers

Answer:

Poisson distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

There is an average of 0.1 flaws per square meter of cloth

So X = the number of flaws in a bolt of 2000 square meters of cloth.

The objective is to deduce how is X distributed.

Well, we can say X undergoes Poisson distribution.

Because, the flaw can be randomly positioned on the cloth and also dictate  how many times the event is likely to occur within a specified period of time.

Most time Poisson distribution is majorly used for independent events.

An independent is an event which contains two types of events occuring at a time say event [tex]E_1[/tex] and event [tex]E_2[/tex] and the event [tex]E_1[/tex] does not in any way affects the occurrence of the event [tex]E_2[/tex] .

10% is equal to 0.1

The probability of having defective parts in a pile of parts is 0.1

Before the process is stopped, 1 part has to be defective.

In a pile of 9 parts, the probability that a part is defective 0.1 of 9, which is = 0.9 hence, approximately one (1) part will be defective in a pile of 9 parts and the process will be stopped.

Since there was no defective part among the first 6 parts, P(d) was 0
