Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Activity trackers are electronic devices that people wear to record physical activity. Researchers wanted to estimate the mean number of steps taken on a typical workday for people working in New York City who wear such trackers. A random sample of 61 people working in New York City who wear an activity tracker was selected. The number of steps taken on a typical workday for each person in the sample was recorded. The mean was 9,797 steps and the standard deviation was 2,313 steps.
a. Construct and interpret a 99 percent confidence interval for the mean number of steps taken on a typical workday for all people working in New York City who wear an activity tracker.
b. A wellness director at a company in New York City wants to investigate whether it is unusual for one person working in the city who wears an activity tracker to record approximately 8,500 steps on a typical workday. Is it appropriate to use the confidence interval found in part (a) to conduct the investigation.
Answer:
a) The 99% confidence interval for the mean number of steps taken on a typical workday for all people working in New York City who wear an activity tracker is (9,009, 10,585).
We are 95% confident that the mean number of steps taken on a typical workday for all people working in New York City who wear an activity tracker is within 9,009 and 10,585 steps.
b) No, we can not use the confidence interval to estimate the probability of individual values. It can onlybe used to make inference about the population mean.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean.
The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.
The sample mean is M=9,797.
Ths sample standard deviation is s=2,313.
The sample size is N=61.
When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:
[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{2313}{\sqrt{61}}=\dfrac{2313}{7.81}=296.15[/tex]
The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
[tex]df=n-1=61-1=60[/tex]
The t-value for a 99% confidence interval and 61 degrees of freedom is t=2.66.
The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:
[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_M=2.66 \cdot 296.15=787.84[/tex]
Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:
[tex]LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 9797-787.84=9009\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 9797+787.84=10585[/tex]
The 99% confidence interval for the mean number of steps taken on a typical workday for all people working in New York City who wear an activity tracker is (9,009, 10,585).
b) The value of 8,500 steps is outside the confidence interval, but this means that it is an unusual value for the mean number of steps for all people in New York City who wear an activity tracker.
We can not use the confidence interval to estimate the probability of individual values.
The activity tracking devices.
The activity tracker re those devices such as watches and a bands that tells you about your physical activity such as skipping, running, and walking. They simply count the steps and tell you about the daily goals and targets. They are quite effective for monitoring blood pressure and more.
Thus answer is 9,009, 10,585 workers, 9,009, and 10,585 steps and population mean.
As per the question, the smart trackers are used by the new york people on a daily basis and they measure the footsteps of the people. A sample of random 61 people was taken and selected on the basis of the tracers. It was found that with these statistical tests a 99% confidence interval was taken for the mean on a typical workday for all people working in City that is 9,009, 10,585. The 95% confidence that the mean number of steps taken by workers of the City was within 9,009 and 10,585 steps.The confidence interval can be used to estimate the probability of the individual values. It can be used for drawing inferences for the population mean.Learn more about the trackers are electronic.

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y = 9 – 5x and passes through (0, 8)?
Answer:
y = 8 - 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
both equations shares the same gradient as they are parallel
from y= 9-5x, the gradient is -5
subst x = 0, y=8, and m= -5 into the y = mx + c to find the value of c
8 = (-5)(0) + c
c= 8
therefore the eqn is y = 8 - 5x
An HP laser printer is advertised to print text documents at a speed of 18 ppm (pages per minute). The manufacturer tells you that the printing speed is actually a Normal random variable with a mean of 17.48 ppm and a standard deviation of 3.25 ppm. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 10 printers.
Using the information about the distribution of the printing speeds given by the manufacturer, find the probability that the mean printing speed of the sample is greater than 18.06 ppm. (Please carry answers to at least six decimal places in intermediate steps. Give your final answer to the nearest three decimal places). Probability (as a proportion)
Answer:
0.288
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 = 17.48, \sigma = 3.25, n = 10, s = \frac{3.25}{\sqrt{10}} = 1.027740[/tex]
Find the probability that the mean printing speed of the sample is greater than 18.06 ppm.
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 18.06. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{18.06 - 17.48}{1.027740}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.56[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.56[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.712
1 - 0.712 = 0.288
The answer is 0.288
A market research firm supplies manufacturers with estimates of the retail sales of their products from samples of retail stores. Marketing managers are prone to look at the estimate and ignore sampling error. A random sample of 36 stores this year shows mean sales of 53 units of a small appliance with a standard deviation of 12 units. During the same point in time last year, a random sample of 49 stores had mean sales of 41 units with standard deviation 6 units.
It is of interest to construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in population means ?1??2, where ?1 is the mean of this year's sales and ?2 is the mean of last year's sales.
Enter values below rounded to three decimal places.
(a) The estimate is: _________ .
(b) The standard error is: ____________________ .
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the difference of means is (7.67, 16.33).
The estimate is Md = 12.
The standard error is sM_d = 2.176.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between means.
The sample 1 (this year's sales), of size n1=36 has a mean of 53 and a standard deviation of 12.
The sample 2 (last year's sales), of size n2=49 has a mean of 41 and a standard deviation of 6.
The difference between sample means is Md=12.
[tex]M_d=M_1-M_2=53-41=12[/tex]
The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:
[tex]s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{12^2}{36}+\dfrac{6^2}{49}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{4+0.735}=\sqrt{4.735}=2.176[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are:
[tex]df=n_1+n_2-1=36+49-2=83[/tex]
The critical t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 83 degrees of fredom is t=1.989.
The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:
[tex]MOE=t \cdot s_{M_d}=1.989 \cdot 2.176=4.328[/tex]
Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:
[tex]LL=M_d-t \cdot s_{M_d} = 12-4.328=7.67\\\\UL=M_d+t \cdot s_{M_d} = 12+4.328=16.33[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for the difference of means is (7.67, 16.33).

A researcher has developed a new drug designed to reduce blood pressure. In an experiment, 21 subjects were assigned randomly to the treatment group and received the new experimental drug. Based on these data, the computed two-sample t statistic is:
Answer:
I think the complete question should be:
A researcher has developed a new drug designed to reduce blood pressure. In an experiment, 21 subjects were assigned randomly to the treatment group and received the new experimental drug. The other 23 subjects were assigned to the control group and received a standard well known treatment. After a suitable period of time, the reduction in blood pressure for each subject was recorded.
Treatment group n = 21, x1 mean = 23.48, sd = 8.01
Control group n = 23, x2 = 18.52, sd = 7.15
Based on these data, the computed two-sample t statistic is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the variances to be calculated from the sd are unequal we use this formula:
t statistics = (x1 - x2) / [(sd1²/n1) + (sd2²/n2) where n1 = 21, x1 mean = 23.48, sd1 = 8.01, n2 = 23, x2 = 18.52, sd2 = 7.15
Thus, we have
test statistic= (23.48-18.52) / [(8.01²/21) + (7.15²/23)]
Test statistics = 4.96 / (324.36/21)+(51.12/23)]
Test statistics = 4.96/ (15.45+2.43)
t statistic = 4.96 / 17.88
t statistics = 0.2774

Hey there! :)
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the solution to the inequality, we can begin by solving for 'x':
2x + 1 ≥ 3
Subtract 1 from both sides:
2x ≥ 2
Divide both sides by 2:
x ≥ 1.
This means that the graph must contain all values of x greater or equal to one. The only number line that shows solutions greater than 1 is B.

Dustin is buying carpet for the living room. How many square feet of carpet will he need to buy?
Complete Question:
Dustin is buying carpet for the living room. If the length of the room is 21 ft and the width
is 11 ft, how many square feet of carpet does he need to buy?
Answer:
231 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
==>GIVEN:
Length of room (L) = 21 ft
Width of room (W) = 11 ft
==>REQUIRED:
Square feet of carpet to be bought = area of the rectangular room
==>SOLUTION:
The room to be covered with carpet is rectangular in shape. In order to ascertain the square feet of carpet to be bought, we need to calculate the area of the room by using the formula for area of rectangle.
Thus, area of rectangle (A) = Length (L) × Width (W)
A = 21 × 11
A = 231 ft²
Square feet of carpet to be bought = 231 ft²

Use Newton's method with initial approximation x1 = 1 to find x2, the second approximation to the root of the equation x4 − x − 3 = 0. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) x2 =?
Answer:
[tex]x_{2} = 0.0000[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the Newton's method is:
[tex]x_{i+1} = x_{i} + \frac{f(x_{i})}{f'(x_{i})}[/tex]
Where [tex]f' (x_{i})[/tex] is the first derivative of the function evaluated in [tex]x_{i}[/tex].
[tex]x_{i+1} = x_{i} + \frac{x_{i}^{4}-x_{i}-3}{4\cdot x_{i}^{3}-1}[/tex]
Lastly, the value of [tex]x_{2}[/tex] is determined by replacing [tex]x_{1}[/tex] with its numerical value:
[tex]x_{2} = x_{1} + \frac{x_{1}^{4}-x_{1}-3}{4\cdot x_{1}^{3}-1}[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = 1.0000 + \frac{1.0000^{4}-1.0000-3}{4\cdot (1.0000)^{3}-1}[/tex]

The sum of an infinite geometric sequence is seven times the value of its first term.
a) Find the common ratio of the sequence.
b) Find the least number of terms of the sequence that must be added in order for the sum to exceed half the value of
the infinite sum.
Answer:
a). r = [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]
b). At least 5 terms should be added.
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula representing sum of infinite geometric sequence is,
[tex]S_{\inf}=\frac{a}{1-r}[/tex]
Where a = first term of the sequence
r = common ratio
a). If the sum is seven times the value of its first term.
[tex]7a=\frac{a}{1-r}[/tex]
[tex]7=\frac{1}{1-r}[/tex]
7(1 - r) = 1
7 - 7r = 1
7r = 7 - 1
7r = 6
r = [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]
b). Since sum of n terms of the geometric sequence is given by,
[tex]S_{n}=\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r}[/tex]
If the sum of n terms of this sequence is more than half the value of the infinite sum.
[tex]\frac{a[1-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}]}{1-\frac{6}{7}}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{7a}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}}{1-\frac{6}{7}}> \frac{7}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}}{\frac{1}{7}}> \frac{7}{2}[/tex]
[tex]1-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}> \frac{7}{2}\times \frac{1}{7}[/tex]
[tex]1-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}> \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}> -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex](\frac{6}{7})^{n}< \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex](0.85714)^{n}< (0.5)[/tex]
n[log(0.85714)] < log(0.5)
-n(0.06695) < -0.30102
n > [tex]\frac{0.30102}{0.06695}[/tex]
n > 4.496
n > 4.5
Therefore, at least 5 terms of the sequence should be added.

A florist currently makes a profit of $20 on each of her celebration bouquets and sells a average of 30 bouquets every week
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;
A florist currently makes a profit of $20 on each of her celebration bouquets and sells an average of 30 bouquets every week. She noticed that when she reduces the price such that she earns $1 less in profit from each bouquet, she then sells three more bouquets per week. The relationship between her weekly profit, P(x), after x one-dollar decreases is shown in the graph below.
CHECK THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE GRAPH
EXPLANATION;
FIRST QUESTION:
From the graph maximum profit is the value gotten where p(X) has maximum value, and the maximum value is observed at y- axis at P(X)to be 675.
Thefore, maximum profit the florist will earn from celebration bouquet is $675.
SECOND QUESTION:
Break even is the exact point that profit p(x) is observed as zero.
Checking the given g graph the point where there is zero value of p(X) is observed at x=20 and x= -10 but we can only pick the positive value which is x=20
Therefore, the florist will break even after 20 one- dollar decreases
THIRD QUESTION;
The interval of number of one dollar decreases can be observed at the point where we have the value of P(x) been more than zero, looking at the given graph, the P(x) has its value greater than zero at the interval 0 to 20.Therefore, it can be concluded that the interval of number of one dollar decreases for which the florist makes a profit from celebration bouquet is (0, 20)

Answer: h = -(16t + 3)(t - 2)
h(0) = 6
h(1) = 19
h(2) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the equation by finding two numbers whose
product = a×c and sum = b, then replace the b value with those two numbers and factor the equation.
h = -16t² + 29t + 6
a=-16 b=29 c=6 a×c = -96 b = 29
32 × -3 = 96 32 + (-3) = 29
h = -16t² + 32t -3t + 6
h = -16t(t - 2) -3(t - 2)
h = (-16t - 3) (t - 2)
h = -(16t + 3)(t - 2)
h(0) = -[16(0) + 3] [0 - 2]
= -(3)(-2)
= 6
h(1) = -[16(1) + 3] [1 - 2]
= -(19)(-1)
= 19
h(2) = -[16(2) + 3] [2 - 2]
= -(35)(0)
= 0
