James has a desk job and would like to become more fit, so he purchases a tread walker and a standing desk which will allow him

to walk at a slow pace as he works. However, he is concerned that standing and walking while working may cause his productivity to decline. After working this way for 6 months he takes a simple random sample of 15 days. He records how long he walked that day (in hours) as recorded by his fitness watch as well as his billable hours for that day as recorded by a work app on his computer. Assuming that all conditions for inference are met, which of the following is a 95 percent confidence interval for the average change in the number of billable hours for each increase of 1 hour spent walking?

Answer:

answer is

-0.245 \pm2.160(0.205)

Step-by-step explanation:

After working this way for 6 months he takes a simple random sample of 15 days. He records how long he walked that day (in hours) as recorded by his fitness watch as well as his billable hours for that day as recorded by a work app on his computer.

Slope is -0.245

Sample size  n = 15

Standard error is 0.205

Confidence level 95

Sognificance level is (100 - 95)% = 0.05

Degree of freedom is n -2 = 15 -2 = 13

Critical Value =2.16 = [using excel = TINV (0.05, 13)]

Marginal Error = Critical Value * standard error

= 2.16 * 0.205

= 0.4428

-0.245 \pm2.160(0.205)

Answer:

The correct answer is C. [-0.245±2.160*0.205]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To analyze the if walking while working (independent variable X) affects his working productivity (dependent variable Y) James took a random sample of 15 days (from a 6 month period in which he worked and trained at home) and recorded how long he walked and his billable hours for that day.

Using this information he estimated the linear regression between the working productivity and the time spent training.

^Y= 7.785 -0.245X

The interest is to estimate the change in the average number of billable hours every time he increases the time spent walking in 1 hour.

To estimate the range of values the average billable hours may take each time the training time increases sone hour, you have to calculate a confidence interval for the population slope of the regression. The statistic is a t-test:

t= \frac{b-\beta}{Sb} ~~t_{n-1}

[b±t_{n-2;1-\alpha /2}*Sb]

Using a 95% confidence level the value of t is t_{n-2;1-\alpha /2}= t_{13; 0.975}= 2.160

b= -0.245

Sb= 0.205

[-0.245±2.160*0.205]

[-0.68780.1978]

Using a 95% confidence level you'd expect the interval [-0.68780.1978] to contain the value of the average billable hours when the time spent walking increases in 1 hour.

I hope this helps!

A bin of 5 transistors is known to contain 2 that are defective. The transistors are to be tested, one at a time, until the defe

Answer:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the random variable N_1 we define the possible values for this variable on this case [1,2,3,4,5] . We know that we have 2 defective transistors so then we have 5C2 (where C means combinatory) ways to select or permute the transistors in order to detect the first defective:

5C2 = \frac{5!}{2! (5-2)!}= \frac{5*4*3!}{2! 3!}= \frac{5*4}{2*1}=10

We want the first detective transistor on the ath place, so then the first a-1 places are non defective transistors, so then we can define the probability for the random variable N_1 like this:

P(N_1 = a) = \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2}

For the distribution of N_2 we need to take in count that we are finding a conditional distribution. N_2 given N_1 =a, for this case we see that N_2 \in [1,2,...,5-a], so then exist 5-a C 1 ways to reorder the remaining transistors. And if we want b additional steps to obtain a second defective transistor we have the following probability defined:

P(N_2 =b | N_1 = a) = \frac{1}{5-a C 1}

And if we want to find the joint probability we just need to do this:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b) = P(N_2 = b | N_1 = a) P(N_1 =a)

And if we multiply the probabilities founded we got:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

deff fn [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Ques 1)

                   g(x)=-12x+48

Ques 2)

                 g(x)=|3x|+4

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Ques 1)

We know that if a graph is stretched by a factor of a then the transformation if given by:

    f(x) → a f(x)

Also, we know that the translation of a function k units to the right or to the left is given by:

  f(x) →  f(x+k)

where if k>0 then the shift is k units to the left

and if k<0 then the shift is k units to the right.

Here the graph of f(x) ​is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 units right.

This means that the function g(x) is given by:

g(x)=4f(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=4(-3(x-4))\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12x+48

Ques 2)

We know that the transformation of the type:

  f(x) → f(x)+k

is a shift or translation of the function k units up or down depending on k.

If k>0 then the shift is k units up.

and if k<0 then the shift is k units down.

Here, The graph of the function f(x)=|3x| is translated 4 units up.

This means that the transformed function g(x) is given by:

                 g(x)=|3x|+4

Tom [10]
1) the form of the equation may be written as y = A(X - Xo)(X - X1)

Where Xo and X1 are the two roots of the equation.


2) We can fix the system of coordinates so that the vertex is in the middle of the gate => Xo = - 40 and X1 = +40


=> y = A (X + 40) (X - 40) = A (X^2 - 1600) 


3) The height, at X = 0 is 25

=> A(0 - 1600) = 25


=> -1600A = 25 => A = -25 / 1600 = - 1/64


4) The equation is y =  - [1/64] (X^2 - 1600)


5) You can present it in different equivalent forms.

Some of those other forms are:

1) - 64y = (x^2 - 1600)

2) x^2 = - 64y + 1600

3) X^2 = - 64 (y - 25)

Alexus [3.1K]
Given:

6 out of 2000 students quit community college due to serious health issues.
$10,000 insurance company offer
$60 per year

Based on the data, there are 6 students who will be given the $10,000 insurance per year. So they need

6 * 10,000 = $60,000 to make a break-even on their insurance offer

If a student pays $60 per year, they should have

$60,000 / $60 = 1,000 students who will pay per year to reach the break-even mark of their investment. If the number of students will exceed 1,000, the company will begin to earn.
