Suppose a regional computer center wants to evaluate the performance of its memory system. One measure of performance is the average time between failures of its disk drive. To estimate the value, the center recorded the time between failures for a random sample of 45 drive failures. The sample mean has been computed to be 1,762 hours and the sample standard deviation is 215. Estimate the true mean time between failures with a 90% confidence interval? Interpret the confidence interval.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval is (1408.325 hours, 2115.675 hours).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = (1-0.9)/(2) = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

Now, find M as such

M = z*s

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample. So

M = 1.645*215 = 353.675

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 1762 - 353.675 = 1408.325 hours.

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 6.4 + 0.3944 = 2115.675 hours.

The 90% confidence interval is (1408.325 hours, 2115.675 hours).

The director of student health at a large university was concerned that students at his school were consuming too many calories each day. For a certain population of college-age students, it is recommended to consume around 2,000 calories/day. The director would like to test the hypothesis that H0:μ=2000 vs. HA:μ>2000. In a random sample of 50 students the director found that the average was 2105 calories/day with a standard deviation of 288 calories/day. Calculate the appropriate test statistic for this situation.

6 is subtracted from a number. The result is divided by 4. This result is added to 10 to give 30. What is the number?A. 4
B. 80
C. 86
D. 16

Answers

Answer: 86

Explanation: I started with 30 then reversed everything so I subtracted 10, multiplied by 4, and then added 6, and got the number 86. Then I checked the answer by subtracting 6 from 86, then divided it by 4, added it to 10, and the final number equaled 30.

How to solve trigonometric functions such as

sin 2x sin x + cos x= 0

Answers

Use the double angle identity:

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

Now rewrite

sin(2x) sin(x) + cos(x) = 0

as

2 sin²(x) cos(x) + cos(x) = 0

Factor out cos(x) :

cos(x) (2 sin²(x) + 1) = 0

Consider the two cases,

cos(x) = 0   OR   2 sin²(x) + 1 = 0

Solve for cos(x) and sin²(x) :

cos(x) = 0   OR   sin²(x) = -1/2

Squaring a real number always gives a non-negative number, so the second case doesn't offer any real solutions. We're left with

cos(x) = 0

Cosine is zero for odd multiples of π/2, so we have

x = (2n + 1) π/2

where n is any integer.

A kite flier wondered how high her kite was flying. She used a protractor to measure an angle of 33° from level ground to the kite string. If she used a full 90 yard spool of string, how high, in feet, was the kite? Round your answer to 3 decimal places. (Disregard the string sag and the height of the string reel above the ground.)

Answers

Answer: height of kite is 147.042 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the kite is shown in the attached photo

Triangle ABC is formed and it is a right angle triangle.

The kite string made an angle of 33 degrees with the ground. The string used was 90 yards We will convert the 90 yards to feets.

I yard = 3 feets

90 yards would become

90×3 = 270 feets

This 270 feets form the hypotenuse of the triangle.

To determine the height of the kite h, we will use trigonometric ratio

Sin# = opposite / hypotenuse

Where

# = 33 degrees

Hypotenuse = 270 feets

Opposite = h feets

Sin 33 = h/270

h = 270sin33

h = 270 × 0.5446 = 147.042 feets

Chiang is filling a 50ft container with water at a rate of 0.5 ft/ min. interpret the key features for this situation

Answers

Answer:

The key features are

50ft³ = the volume

0.5ft³/min = rate

Time= 100 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Chiang is filling a 50ft container with water at a rate of 0.5 ft/ min.

50ft³ = the volume

0.5ft³/min = rate

There is a key future missing which is the time it will take to fill the 50 ft³ container

Time = volume/rate

Time= 50 ft³/0.5ft³/min

Time= 50/0.5 min

Time = 100 min

The key features are

50ft³ = the volume

0.5ft³/min = rate

Time= 100 minutes

Answer:

x = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

9+1=10 so x/8 must equal 10.

80/8 = 10 and subract by 9 = 1

1. X/-1 (divid X to 1)
2. -1• X/-1 = 1• -1
( multiple -1 by both sides)
3. X= -1
