In a study conducted in the United Kingdom about sleeping positions, 1000 adults in the UK were asked their starting position wh

en they fall asleep at night. The most common answer was the fetal position (on the side, with legs pulled up), with 41% of the participants saying they start in this position. Use a normal distribution to find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all UK adults who start sleep in this position. Use the fact that the standard error of the estimate is 0.016.

Answer: = ( 0.411, 0.409)

Therefore at 95% confidence interval (a,b) = (0.411, 0.409)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean gain x = 0.41

Standard deviation r = 0.016

Number of samples n = 1000

Confidence interval = 95%

z(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

0.41+/-1.96(0.016/√1000)

0.41+/-1.96(0.000506)

0.41+/-0.00099

0.41+/-0.001

= ( 0.411, 0.409)

Therefore at 95% confidence interval (a,b) = (0.411, 0.409)

melisa1 [442]

Answer: The  lowest value: 100 and highest value: - 150 .

If we were to build the box plot for this data, the box would stretch between Q_1= 100 and Q_3= 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the box-plot is the graphical way to represent the five -number summary (Minimum value , First quartile (Q_1) , Median , Third Quartile (Q_3)  , Maximum value).

Where , the box streches between the first quartile  (Q_1)  and the third quartile  (Q_3) .

Given : The cost of taking your pet aboard the air flight with you in the continental US varies according to the airlines.

The five number summary for prices based on a sample of major US airlines was:

Min = 60,

Q_1= 100

Median = 110

Q_3= 125

Max = 150

If we were to build the box plot for this data, the box would stretch between Q_1= 100 and Q_3= 125.

Hence, the  lowest value: 100 and highest value: 125 .

a teacher needs 70 lengths of string cut to 40 cm each. If balls of string are 10 m long how many balls will be needed
LenKa [72]
A meter is 100 cm. A ball of string has 10m of string, and you multiply 10m by 100cm, you get 1,000cm. Then you multiply 40cm by 2, and you get 80cm, or two lengths of string. Then you multiply 35, which is half of 70, by 80, and that is 2,800 cm.
2,800
÷40cm=70
And 100cm=1m.
The teacher will therefore need 28 balls of string.

let x = the amoun of raw sugar in tons a procesing plant is a sugar refinery process in one day . suppose x can be model as expo
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A sugar refinery has three processing plants, all receiving raw sugar in bulk. The amount of raw sugar (in tons) that one plant can process in one day can be modelled using an exponential distribution with mean of 4 tons for each of three plants. If each plant operates independently,a.Find the probability that any given plant processes more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day.b.Find the probability that exactly two of the three plants process more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day.c.How much raw sugar should be stocked for the plant each day so that the chance of running out of the raw sugar is only 0.05?

Answer: The mean (μ) of the plants is 4 tons. The probability density function of an exponential distribution is given by:

f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}\\But\ \lambda= 1/\mu=1/4 = 0.25\\Therefore:\\f(x)=0.25e^{-0.25x}\\

a) P(x > 5) = \int\limits^\infty_5 {f(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^\infty_5 {0.25e^{-0.25x}} \, dx =-e^{-0.25x}|^\infty_5=e^{-1.25}=0.2865

b) Probability that exactly two of the three plants process more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day can be solved when considered as a binomial.

That is P(2 of the three plant use more than five tons) = C(3,2) × [P(x > 5)]² × (1-P(x > 5)) = 3(0.2865²)(1-0.2865) = 0.1757

c) Let b be the amount of raw sugar should be stocked for the plant each day.

P(x > a) = \int\limits^\infty_a {f(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^\infty_a {0.25e^{-0.25x}} \, dx =-e^{-0.25x}|^\infty_a=e^{-0.25a}

But P(x > a) = 0.05

Therefore:

e^{-0.25a}=0.05\\ln[e^{-0.25a}]=ln(0.05)\\-0.25a=-2.9957\\a=11.98

a  ≅ 12
