Answer:

0.159

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size (n) = 100

Population mean(pm) = 50

Standard deviation (s) = 8

Probability that Sample mean (m) will be greater Than 50.8

Using the relation :

(sample mean - population mean) / (standard deviation /sqrt(n))

P(m > 50.8)

Z = (50.8 - 50) / (8/ sqrt(100))

Z = 0.8 / (8/ 10)

Z = 0.8 / 0.8

Z = 1

P(Z > 1) = 0.15866 ( Z probability calculator)

Hence,

P(Z > 1) = 0.159 ( 3 decimal places)

fomenos

Step-by-step explanation:

Since f(0) = f(5) = f(8) = 0, we have f(x) = Ax(x - 5)(x - 8), where A is a real constant.

We know that f(10) = 17.

=> A(10)(10 - 5)(10 - 8) = 17

=> A(10)(5)(2) = 17

=> 100A = 17, A = 0.17.

Hence the answer is f(x) = 0.17x(x - 5)(x - 8).

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

99% Confidence interval: (0.185,0.375)                                                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 150

Number of cars that have faulty catalytic converters, x = 42

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{42}{150} = 0.28

99% Confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.58

Putting the values, we get:

0.28\pm 2.58(\sqrt{\frac{0.28(1-0.28)}{150}}) = 0.28\pm 0.095\\\\=(0.185,0.375)

The​ 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of new cars with faulty catalytic converters is​ (0.185,0.375)
