A psychologist is collecting data on the time it takes to learn a certain task. For 50 randomly selected adult subjects, the sam

ple mean is 16.40 minutes and the sample standard deviation is 4.00 minutes. Construct the 95 percent confidence interval for the mean time required by all adults to learn the task. Assume that X, the time to learn a task, is distributed normally.

Response: (15.263,\ 17.537)

Step-by-step analysis:

Based on the information provided, we note

Sample size: n= 50

\overline{x}=16.40

s=4.00

Given that the population standard deviation is not known, a t-test is employed.

Critical value for the 95 percent confidence interval:

t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{49, 0.025}= 2.009575\approx2.010

Confidence interval: \overline{x}\pm t_{n-1, \alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

16.40\pm (2.010)\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=16.40\pm1.13702770415\\\\=16.40\pm1.1370\\\\=(16.40-1.1370,\ 16.40+1.1370)\\\\=(15.263,\ 17.537)

Required 95% confidence interval: (15.263,\ 17.537)

Let’s clarify this: the basketball moves faster, indicating the tennis ball won’t be able to catch up. Therefore, we utilize the formula:

The probability that an individual is left-handed is 0.12. in a class of 39 students, what is the probability of finding five le
Svet_ta [12262]

We start with the following information:

p = probability = 0.12<span>
n = total number of students = 39 </span>

x = number of left-handers = 5<span>
u = mean = p * n = 4.68
σ = standard deviation = √(n*p*(1-p)) = √(39 * 0.12 * 0.88) = 2.03</span>

Finding the z score:

z = (x – u) / σ

<span> z = (5 – 4.68) / 2.03
</span>

z = 0.1576 = 0.16

<span>

</span>Applying standard tables for z gives the p value as:

p value = 0.5636 = 56.36%

 

Consequently, there is a 56.36% probability.

Helena builds a shed in her backyard. There is a larger square section for large​ tools, like her lawn​ mower, and a smaller squ
Inessa [12125]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) According to the included image, the smaller section measures 16ft², and the larger section is 50 ft². The formula for the area of a square is side × side = side².

For the smaller section: Area = side²

16 = side²

side = √16 = 4 ft

For the larger section: Area = side²

50 = side²

side = √50

The overall length of the shed is the small area plus the large area = 4 + √50

The total length of the shed equates to 4 + √50

b) All square roots of integers unless they are perfect squares are irrational numbers, thus 4 + √50 is irrational. All such values fall within the set of real numbers, categorizing  4 + √50 as an irrational and real number.
