Question

4. The Old Towne Road Group sent its' top specialist, Tegan (aka Stat Buddees) to get information on why the Street Farmacyst plastic bottles did not explode under pressure. They selected 36 Street Farmacyst bottles and got a mean of twenty-six with a population standard deviation of 1.5. a. What is the maximum error? ( (2pt.) b. Help her construct an 80% confidence interval for the mean number of plastic bottles that did not explode under pressure. (3pts)

a. Maximum error:

First, find the z-value for an 80% confidence interval:

z_{\alpha/2} = 1.2816

Then use the formula for the maximum error:

E = z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

E = 1.2816 \times \frac{1.5}{\sqrt{36}}

E = 1.2816 \times 0.25

E=0.3204

b. 80% confidence interval:

The formula for the confidence interval is:

\text{CI} = \left( \bar{x} - E , \bar{x} + E \right)

Given:

\bar{x} = 26

E=0.3204

Substituting the values:

\text{CI}=\left(26-0.3204,26+0.3204\right)

\text{CI}=(25.6796,26.3204)

The car with an irresponsible driver starts to brake when it goes through a red light. When passing the traffic light, he does so at a speed of 115 kph in the right lane. Further ahead, 70 meters from the traffic light, a child is crossing the street and falls. If the effect of the car's brakes is equivalent to a deceleration of magnitude 5.7m/s². Is the child hit by the car or not? How far from the traffic light does the car stop?
