For budgeting purposes, the vehicle maintenance manager for a municipal water and sewer utility needs to know how long the brakes on service trucks will last (in miles) before requiring replacement. the maintenance records for 20 trucks indicate that the mean life is 28,536 miles with a standard deviation of 861 miles. based on this sample, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true population mean for brake life.

[ 28,133, 28,939 ]

Explanation:

Given:

Number of trucks, n = 20

Mean life, μ = 28,536 miles

Standard deviation = 861 miles

Confidence level of interval = 95%

Now,

degree of freedom, df = n - 1

or

df = 20 - 1

or

df = 19

From the TINV function

t* = TINV ( P , df )

here P = 0.05 for 95% confidence

t* = TINV ( 0.05 , 19 )

or

t* = 2.093

Therefore,

The Margin of error =

on substituting the respective values, we have

The Margin of error =  

or

The margin of error = 402.955 ≈ 403

Hence,

For 95% confidence, The interval for population mean  will be

= Mean ± Margin of error

= 28,536 ± 403

or

the interval will be

= [ 28,536 - 403 , 28,536 + 403 ]

= [ 28,133, 28,939 ]

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general   composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
