Answer:

The minimum sample size required to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean is 65.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population standard deviation,

\sigma = 3.10\text{ milligrams}

We need to construct a 95% confidence interval such that the estimate is within 0.75 milligrams of the population mean.

Thus, the margin of error must me 0.75

Formula for margin of error:

z_{critical}\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

Putting values, we get,

0.75 = 1.86\times \dfrac{3.10}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\sqrt{n} = \dfrac{1.96\times 3.10}{0.75}\\\\\sqrt{n} = 8.101\\\Rightarrow n = 65.63\approx 65

Thus, the minimum sample size required to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean is 65.

The number of tickets issued by a meter reader for parking-meterviolations can be modeled by a Poisson process with a rateparame
Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the  number of tickets issued by a meter reader for parking-meterviolations can be modeled by a Poisson process with a rateparameter of five per hour.

X is Poisson with parameter =5per hour

a) the probabilitythat exactly three tickets are given out during a particular hour

=P(X=3)=0.14037

b)  the probabilitythat at least three tickets are given out during a particularhour

=P(X\geq 3) =0.87534

c) tickets we expect to be given during a 45-min period

=5(\frac{3}{4} )\\= 3.75

Note: Poisson distribution is

P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-k} 5^k}{l!}

ZX bisects ∠WZY. If the measure of ∠YXZ is (6m – 12)°, what is the value of m?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.  17

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, ZX bisects ∠WZY. If the measure of ∠YXZ is (6m – 12)°

To find the value of m

From the figure we can see that, triangle WYZ is an isosceles  triangle.

ZW = ZY

Then <YXZ = <WXZ = 90°

It is given ∠YXZ  = (6m – 12)°

(6m – 12)° =  90°

6m = 90 + 12  = 102

m = 102/6 = 17

Therefore the value of m = 17

The correct answer is option B.  17
