A clothing company produces denim jeans. The jeans are made and sold with either a regular cut or a boot-cut. To estimate the proportion of all customers in Tacoma, WA, who prefer boot-cut jeans, a marketing researcher examined sales receipts for a random sample of 178 customers who purchased jeans from the firm’s Tacoma store. 56 of the customers in the sample purchased boot-cut jeans. Construct the 99% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of all customers in Tacoma, Washington, who prefer boot-cut jeans and interpret the confidence interval (please write the interval boundaries to THREE decimal places

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the proportion of all customers in Tacoma, Washington, who prefer boot-cut jeans is [0.225 , 0.405].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a marketing researcher examined sales receipts for a random sample of 178 customers who purchased jeans from the firm’s Tacoma store. 56 of the customers in the sample purchased boot-cut jeans.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

                           P.Q. =  [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of customers who purchased boot-cut jeans = [tex]\frac{56}{178}[/tex] = 0.315

           n = sample of customers = 178

           p = population proportion of customers who prefer boot-cut jeans

Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test for proportions.

So, 99% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-2.58 < N(0,1) < 2.58) = 0.99  {As the critical value of z at 0.5% level

                                                 of significance are -2.58 & 2.58}  

P(-2.58 < [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] < 2.58) = 0.99

P( [tex]-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\hat p-p}[/tex] < [tex]2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.99

P( [tex]\hat p-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] < p < [tex]\hat p+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.99

99% confidence interval for p = [ [tex]\hat p-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex], [tex]\hat p+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex]]

    = [ [tex]0.315-2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.315(1-0.315)}{178} } }[/tex] , [tex]0.315+2.58 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.315(1-0.315)}{178} } }[/tex] ]

    = [0.225 , 0.405]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all customers in Tacoma, Washington, who prefer boot-cut jeans is [0.225 , 0.405].

The interpretation of the above confidence interval is that we are 99% confident that the proportion of all customers in Tacoma, Washington, who prefer boot-cut jeans will lie between 0.225 and 0.405.

Answer:

12.57

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5 in the number 10.059 is placed at the hundredth place. i.e. the value of 5 in 10.059 is 0.05. Now, ten times the value of 5 = 10 × 0.05 =  0.5. Let us take 12.57. We see that 5 is placed at the tenths place and has value 10 times the value of 5 in 10.059. Hence, the number comes out to be 12.57.

All whole numbers and integers are rational.

For decimals, they have to be repeating or non-terminating.  

Numbers that cannot be turned into fractions under the 'p/q' guidelines are irrational numbers.

means we can write [tex]b=12n+5[/tex] for some integer [tex]n[/tex]. Then

and taken mod 12, the first term goes away, so

A student researcher measured the cadmium (Cd2+) content in a standard reference material (SRM) using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). With 7 replicate measurements, the researcher determined a mean Cd2 concentration of 2.899 ppb with a standard deviation of 0.001 ppb. Calculate the 99% confidence interval for this sample. Enter your answer with three significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for this sample mean is between 2.895 ppb and 2.903 ppb.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 7 - 1 = 6

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 3.7074

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 3.7074*0.001 = 0.004

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 2.899 - 0.004 = 2.895 ppb.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 2.899 + 0.004 = 2.903 ppb.

The 99% confidence interval for this sample mean is between 2.895 ppb and 2.903 ppb.

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable table or calculator is needed.

One standard deviation from the mean includes 68.27% of the total, so the number of bottles in the range 20 ± 0.16 ounces will be ...

  0.6827·26,000 = 17,750 . . . . . within 20 ± 0.16

__

The number below 1.5 standard deviations below the mean is about 6.68%, so for the given sample size is expected to be ...

  0.66799·26,000 = 1737 . . . . . below 19.76

_____

Comment on the first number

The "empirical rule" tells you that 68% of the population is within 1 standard deviation (0.16 ounces) of the mean. When the number involved is expected to be expressed to 5 significant digits, your probability value needs better accuracy than that. To 6 digits, the value is 0.682689, which gives the same "rounded to the nearest integer" value as the one shown above.

Twenty-four cards are numbered from 1 to 24 and placed in a box. One card is selected at random
and not replaced. Another card is randomly selected. What is the probability of selecting two even
numbers?

Answers

Answer:

11/46

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 24 cards numbered 1 - 24

Even Cards = 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24

Odd Cards = 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23

We can see above that in the beginning, we have:

12 odd and 12 even cards (total of 24 cards)

If we draw the first card and it is even,

P(even number on first draw) = 12/24 = 1/2

If the card is not replaced, now we have:

12 odd cards and 11 even cards (total of 23 cards)

If we draw the 2nd card and it is even,

P(even number on second draw) = 11/23

Hence probabliliy of drawing the first even card, not replacing and then drawing another even card

= (1/2) x (11/23)

= 11/46

Answer:

11/46

Step-by-step explanation:

between 1  and 24 there are 12 even numbers.

the probability of selecting an even number the first time is 12/24 = 1/2

the probability of the second one being an even number without replacement is 11/23

the probability of both being even numbers without replacement is:

1/2 * 11/23

= 11/46

Since volume of a cone = Capacity of the cone to hold the ice cream

Volume of an another cone having radius (r) = 1.5 inches and height (h) = 3 inches will be,

         V = [tex]\frac{1}{3}(\pi)(r^{2} )(h)[/tex]

           = [tex]\frac{1}{3}(\pi )(1.5)^{2}(3)[/tex]

$379.36



$300.15

Answers

Answer:

The second option ,$ 352.95  is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the home is the list price of $89,000 plus the sales tax of 4.2%

total cost=$89,000+($89,000*4.2%)=$92,738

loan amount=total cost-down payment=92738

-3000=$89738

APR is 4.75% since they have an excellent credit score

interest for first month=89738

*4.75%/12=$ 355.21  

Principal payment in first month=total payment-interest=925.67- 355.21 =$570.46

principal left after first payment=$89,738

-$570.46=$89,167.54  

second month interest payment= 89,167.54*4.75%/12=$ 352.95

The correct option is $ 352.95  which is the second option

How do you find the domain of functions, I’d just like someone to explain it, that’s where I get lost, 30 points btw

Answers

Explanation:

The domain is the horizontal extent of the graph of the function. It is the set of all values of the independent variable for which the function is defined.

In a table or list of (x, y) or (x, f(x)) values the domain is the list of x-values.

On a graph, the domain is the horizontal extent of the graph, excluding any "holes" or vertical asymptotes. (The function is "undefined" at those places.)

__

For a polynomial, the domain is generally "all real numbers."

For rational functions, the domain always excludes any x-values that make any denominator be zero.

For functions such as logarithms or roots, the domain is the set of values for which the function is defined. Even roots (square root, 4th root, ...) are only defined for non-negative numbers. Logarithms are only defined for positive numbers.

__

In some problems, a model is often used that is defined for all values of the independent variable. For example, a height function may be modeled using a quadratic: h(t) = -4.9t^2 +30t +6. This is defined for all values of t, but the "practical domain" is the set of values of t ≥ 0 and before h(t) = 0. That is, we don't care about negative time or negative height.
