A forestry researcher wants to estimate the average height of trees in a forest near Atlanta, Georgia. She takes a random sample of 18 trees from this forest. The researcher found that the average height was 4.8 meters with a standard deviation of 0.55 meters. Assume that the distribution of the heights of these trees is normal. For this sample what is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used 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 = 18 - 1 = 17

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 2.8982

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation of 0.55 meters.

This means that [tex]s = 0.55[/tex]

What is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval?

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 2.8982\frac{0.55}{\sqrt{18}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 0.3757[/tex]

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Answer 2

Margin of error is the distance between the mean and the limit of confidence intervals. The margin of error for the given condition is 3.28 approximately.

What is the margin of error for small samples?

Suppose that we have:

Sample size n  < 30

Sample standard deviation = sPopulation standard deviation = [tex]\sigma[/tex]Level of significance = [tex]\alpha[/tex]Degree of freedom = n-1

Then the margin of error(MOE) is obtained as

Case 1: Population standard deviation is known

Margin of Error = [tex]MOE = T_{c}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Case 2: Population standard deviation is unknown

[tex]MOE = T_{c}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

where [tex]T_{c}[/tex] is critical value of the test statistic at level of significance

For the given case, taking the random variable X to be tracking the height of trees in the sample taken of trees from the considered forest.

Then, by the given data, we get:

[tex]\overline{x} = 4.8[/tex], [tex]s = 4.8[/tex], n = 18

The degree of freedom is n-1 = 17

Level of significance = 100% - 99% = 1% = 0.01

The critical value of t at level of significance 0.01 with degree of freedom 17 is obtained as T = 2.90 (from the t critical values table)

Thus, margin of error for 99% confidence interval for considered case is:

[tex]MOE = T_{c}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\MOE = 2.9 \times \dfrac{4.8}{\sqrt{18}} \approx 3.28[/tex]

Thus, the margin of error for the given condition is 3.28 approximately.

The radioactive isotope carbon-14 is present in small quantities in all life forms, and it is constantly replenished until the organism dies, after which it decays to stable carbon-12 at a rate proportional to the amount of carbon-14 present, with a half-life of 5549 years. Let C(t) be the amount of carbon-14 present at time t.
(a) Find the value of the constant k in the differential equation C' = -kC.
(b) In 1988 three teams of scientists found that the Shroud of Turin, which was reputed to be the burial cloth of Jesus, contained 91% of the amount of carbon-14 contained in freshly made cloth of the same material. How old was the Shroud of Turin at the time of this data?

Answers

Answer:

a) k = 0.00012491389

b) The Shroud of Turin was 755 years old at the time of this data.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Find the value of the constant k in the differential equation C' = -kC.

First we find the differential equation, by separation of variables. So

[tex]\int \frac{C^{\prime}}{C} dt = -\int k dt[/tex]

So

[tex]\ln{C} = -kt + K[/tex]

In which K is the constant of integration, representing the initial amount of substance. So

[tex]C(t) = C(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]

Half-life of 5549 years.

This means that [tex]C(5549) = 0.5C(0)[/tex]. We use this to find k. So

[tex]C(t) = C(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]

[tex]0.5C(0) = C(0)e^{-5549k}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-5549k} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-5549k}} = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]-5549k = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]k = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{5549}[/tex]

[tex]k = 0.00012491389[/tex]

So

[tex]C(t) = C(0)e^{-0.00012491389t}[/tex]

(b) In 1988 three teams of scientists found that the Shroud of Turin, which was reputed to be the burial cloth of Jesus, contained 91% of the amount of carbon-14 contained in freshly made cloth of the same material. How old was the Shroud of Turin at the time of this data?

This is t for which [tex]C(t) = 0.91C(0)[/tex]

So

[tex]C(t) = C(0)e^{-0.00012491389t}[/tex]

[tex]0.91C(0) = C(0)e^{-0.00012491389t}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.00012491389t} = 0.91[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-0.00012491389t}} = \ln{0.91}[/tex]

[tex]-0.00012491389t = \ln{0.91}[/tex]

[tex]t = -\frac{\ln{0.91}}{0.00012491389}[/tex]

[tex]t = 755[/tex]

The Shroud of Turin was 755 years old at the time of this data.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=\dfrac{-3}{7}x-\dfrac{32}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A line 7x - 3y = 68 and containing the point (8, -8).

The equation can be written as :

[tex]-3y=68-7x\\\\y=\dfrac{68}{-3}+\dfrac{7x}{3}\\\\y=\dfrac{7x}{3}+(\dfrac{-68}{3})[/tex]

The slope is :7/3

Line is perpendicular so use m = –3/7

[tex]-8=(-\dfrac{3}{7})\times 8+b\\\\-8+\dfrac{3}{7}\times 8=b\\\\b=\dfrac{-32}{7}[/tex]

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of days and a standard deviation of days. a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting days or longer. b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest ​%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

Answers

Answer:

a) The probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer is given by 1 subtracted by the p-value of [tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex], in which [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean and [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation.

b) We have to find X when Z has a p-value of [tex]\frac{a}{100}[/tex], and X is given by: [tex]X = \mu - Z\sigma[/tex], in which [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean and [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex], standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex]

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer.

The probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer is given by 1 subtracted by the p-value of [tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex], in which [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean and [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation.

b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest a​%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

We have to find X when Z has a p-value of [tex]\frac{a}{100}[/tex], and X is given by: [tex]X = \mu - Z\sigma[/tex], in which [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean and [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation.

B) A = -0.5x^2 + 7x

C) A = -x^2 + 10x

D) A = x^2 - 10x

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base of the triangle be b and the height be h.

The sum of the base and height is 14. Thus:

[tex]b+h=14[/tex]

Recall that the area of a triangle is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]

From the first equation, solve for either variable:

[tex]h=14-b[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}b(14-b)[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}(14b-b^2)[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]\displaystyle A=-0.5b^2+7b[/tex]

Let b = x. Hence:

[tex]A=-0.5x^2+7x[/tex]

Therefore, our answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μ = 90

H1 : μ > 90

xbar = 94 ; s = 22 ; n = 100

The test statistic : (xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

Test statistic = (94 - 90) ÷ (22/√100)

Test statistic = 4 ÷ 2.2

T = 1.818

The critical value :

At α = 0.10

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 100 - 1 = 99

Tcritical(0.10, 99) = 1.290

Matthew participates in a study that is looking at how confident students at SUNY Albany are. The mean score on the scale is 50. The distribution has a standard deviation of 10 and is normally distributed. Matthew scores a 65. What percentage of people could be expected to score the same as Matthew or higher on this scale

Answers

Answer:

The percentage of people that could be expected to score the same as Matthew or higher on this scale is:

= 93.3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Mean score on the scale, μ = 50

Distribution's standard deviation, σ = 10

Matthew scores, x = 65

Calculating the Z-score:

Z-score = (x – μ) / σ

= (65-50)/10

= 1.5

The probability based on a Z-score of 1.5 is 0.93319

Therefore, the percentage of people that could be expected to score the same as Matthew or higher on this scale is 93.3%.
