Answers

Answer 1

Overtime Hours Worked A random sample of 15 registered nurses in a large hospital showed that they worked on average 44. 2 hours per week. we can estimate with 90% confidence that the population mean of overtime hours worked by registered nurses in the hospital is between 42.5 and 45.9 hours per week.

What is t-distribution?

The t-distribution is a probability distribution that is used to estimate the population mean of a normally distributed variable when the sample size is small or the population standard deviation is unknown.

To estimate the population mean with a 90% confidence interval, we can use a t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom, where n is the sample size.

First, we need to calculate the standard error of the mean, which measures the variability of sample means around the population mean. The formula for the standard error of the mean is:

SE = s / sqrt(n)

where s is the sample standard deviation and n is the sample size.

In this case, s = 2.6 and n = 15, so:

SE = 2.6 / sqrt(15) = 0.671

Next, we need to find the critical value of the t-distribution with 14 degrees of freedom and a 90% confidence level.

We can look this up in a t-table or use a calculator to find that the critical value is approximately 1.761.

Finally, we can calculate the confidence interval using the formula:

CI = X ± tα/2 * SE

where X is the sample mean, tα/2 is the critical value of the t-distribution, and SE is the standard error of the mean.

In this case, X = 44.2 and tα/2 = 1.761, so:

CI = 44.2 ± 1.761 * 0.671

CI = (42.5, 45.9)

Therefore, we can estimate with 90% confidence that the population mean of overtime hours worked by registered nurses in the hospital is between 42.5 and 45.9 hours per week.

Answers

Answer:

C(50;-20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for the midpoint of the line.

The triangle is formed by placing a line directly from the y-axis to the x-axis.

The midpoint theorem is[ (x1+x2)/2 ; (y1+y2)/2 ].

your coordinates at A is (0;-40), because the x value is 0 on the line as shown in the diagram above point A.

Your coordinates for B are (100;0)

C[(x1+x2)/2 ; (y1+y2)/2 ]

C [(0+100)/2 ; (-40+0)/2 ]

C[ 100/2 ; -40/2]

C (50 ; -20)

Alicia cashed half of her paycheck and set aside the other half to take her friends out to dinner. She spent 42.15 on dinner and brought home more than 20.00. Write an inequality to represent the situation, using x to represent the amount of Alicia’s paycheck.

Answers

Answer: = x > $124.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Alicia's Paycheck = x

Took half money for dinner x/2

She spent $42.15 on dinner and she brought home more than $20.00

.x/2 - $42.15  > $20.00

 => x/2 > $62.15

=> x > $124.3

The diameter of a wheel is 150 cm, if the wheel travels 376.8 m, how many times does the wheel rotate?

Answers

Answer:

79.94

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us find the circumference of the wheel (circle).

For that, let us use the below formula.

C = π × d

Given that,

d ⇒ diameter ⇒ 150 cm ⇒ 1.5 m

Let us find now.

C = π d

C = 3.142 × 1.5

C = 4.713

And now to find the number of times that the wheel rotates, you have to divide the total distance that wheel traveled by it's circumference.

Let us find now.

No. of times that wheel rotates = 376.8m ÷ 4.713m

No. of times that wheel rotates = 79.94

Approximately, the wheel will rotates 80 times.
