The diameter of a spindle in a motor is supposed to be 40 mm with standard deviation of 0.5 mm. If the spindle is either too small or too large, the motor will not work properly. The manufacturer measures the diameter in a sample of 100 motors to determine whether the mean diameter has moved away from the target, and finds that average is 40.3 mm. Which method researcher can use to check her idea?

It can be used the confidence interval to check the idea.

The confidence interval tells us that the real mean is expected to be between 40.2 and 40.4, with a 95% of confidence.

We can conclude that the mean diameter has moved away from the target value.

Step-by-step explanation:

A method to determine wether the mean diameter has moved away from the target is to calculate a confidence interval over the mean.

This would let us know if the real mean diameter could be 40 mm or not.

If the confidence interval does not include the value 40 mm, we can claim that the mean diameter has moved from the target value.

We will calculate a 95% confidence interval (CI), for which the z-value is z=1.96.

The margin of error is:

Then, the upper and lower limits of the CI are:

The confidence interval tells us that the real mean is expected to be between 40.2 and 40.4, with a 95% of confidence.

We can conclude that the mean diameter has moved away from the target value.

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

it’s supposed to be -4+45=41
