Answer: u= ( 4342.08, 5145.92).

Step-by-step explanation: the population mean is estimated using the sample by the formulae assuming a 95% confidence level

u = x' + Zα/2 * (√σ/n) or x' - Zα/2 * (√σ/n)

u = estimated population mean

x' = sample mean = 4744

n = sample size =8

σ = sample standard deviation. = 580

α = level of significance = 1- confidence level = 1-0.95= 0.05

Zα/2 = z score from the normal distribution table for a 2 tailed test = 1.96

First boundary value for interval

u = 4744 + 1.96 ( 580/√8)

u = 4744 + 1.96 * (205.0609)

u = 4744 + 401.92

u = 5145.92

Second boundary value for interval

u = 4744 - 1.96 ( 580/√8)

u = 4744 - 1.96 * (205.0609)

u = 4744 - 401.92

u = 4342.08

Thus the confidence interval for population mean is

u= ( 4342.08, 5145.92).

23) An extension ladder forming a 60° angle with the ground is placed against
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: the length of the extended ladder is 8√3 feet or 13.9 feet

the distance between the wall and the bottom of the ladder is 4√3 feet or 6.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the building and the ground. The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height from the top of the ladder to the base of the building represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the building represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the extended length of the ladder h, we would apply

the Sine trigonometric ratio.

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Sin 60 = 12/h

√3/2 = 12/h

h = 12 × 2/√3 = 24√3

h = 24√3 × √3/√3

h = 8√3

To determine the distance between the wall and the bottom of the ladder d, we would apply

the cosine trigonometric ratio.

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse.

Therefore,

Cos 60 = d/8√3

0.5 = d/8√3

d = 0.5 × 8√3

d = 4√3

The weights of cars passing over a bridge have a mean of 3,550 pounds and standard deviation of 870 pounds. Assume that the weig
Annette [7]

Answer:

0.24315

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula to solve this question

z = (x - μ) / σ,

Such that:

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation.

From the question:

x = 3000

μ = 3550

σ = 870

z = (3000 - 3550) / 870

z = -550/870

z = -0.6962

Using the z score table as well as probability calculator(as requested in the question to find the z score)

The probability of having less than 3000 is obtained as:

P(x<3000) = 0.24315
