A machine used to fill beverage cans is supposed to supply exactly 16 ounces toeach can, but the actualamount supplied varies randomly from can to can. The machine is calibrated so that the population standard deviation is 0.04 ounces. How many filled cans must be sampled so that we estimate the mean fill volume within 0.015 ounces with 99% confidence

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

48 cans must be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The machine is calibrated so that the population standard deviation is 0.04 ounces.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.04[/tex]

How many filled cans must be sampled so that we estimate the mean fill volume within 0.015 ounces with 99% confidence?

n cans must be sampled, and n is found when M = 0.015. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.015 = 2.575\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.015\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.04[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.04}{0.015}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*0.04}{0.015})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 47.2[/tex]

Rounding up, 48 cans must be sampled.

Which equation is equivalent to 3-4x=12

Answers

We have a linear equation here.

3 - 4x = 12

Subtract 3 from both sides.

3 - 3 - 4x = 12 - 3

-4x = 9

Divide both sides by -4 to find x.

-4x/-4 = 9/-4

x = -9/4

The value of solution of expression is,

⇒ x = - 9 / 14

WE have to given that;

A mathematical expression is,

⇒ 3 - 4x = 12

Now, WE can simplify as;

⇒ 3 - 4x = 12

Add 4x both side,

⇒ 3 - 4x + 4x = 12 + 4x

⇒ 3 = 12 + 4x

Subtract 12 both side, we get;

⇒ 3 - 12 = 14x

⇒ - 9 = 14x

⇒ x = - 9 / 14

Thus, The value of solution of expression is,

⇒ x = - 9 / 14

The correct answer is D. An outlier on a graph is going to be a point that is either off center of the line that can be drawn or that is further away from the rest of the points. In this case the point at 0, 18 is the furthest point so therefore it must be the outlier. Noticing that at that point the length and mass of the shark is very small, it is fair to say that that shark is a newborn small shark and he is the outlier among the larger and longer sharks in the ocean.

A group of engineers developed a new design for a steel cable. They need to estimate the amount of weight the cable can hold. The weight limit will be reported on cable packaging. The engineers take a random sample of 46 cables and apply weights to each of them until they break. The 46 cables have a mean breaking weight of 779 lb. The standard deviation of the breaking weight for the sample is 15.4 lb. Find the 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean breaking weight for this type cable.

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean breaking weight for this type cable is between 772.9 lb and 785.1 lb.

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 = 46 - 1 = 45

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 45 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 2.69

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.69\frac{15.4}{\sqrt{46}} = 6.1[/tex]

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

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 779 - 6.1 = 772.9 lb

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 779 + 6.1 = 785.1 lb

The 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean breaking weight for this type cable is between 772.9 lb and 785.1 lb.

Answer:

104 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we start, one thing to notice is the 90 degrees symbol at the corners. This lets you know a rectangle has four 90 degrees angle, which will help in the next step.

First, separate the shape to become three rectangles.

After you've done that, start with the first recantgle on the left.

The edges are 8 and 5. To find the area, you must multiple 8 by 5.

8 * 5 =40

The area is 40 for the first rectangle.

Next, we do the second rectangle to the right of the first one.

oThe edges are 6 and 4. We know it is four because the full length on the rectangle on the left is 8 and below the 6 ft is the place that says 4 ft. The 6ft line cuts to rectangle in half so the other edge will be 4 ft. (Hope that made sense )

Now we find the area of the second rectangle by multiplying 6 and 4

6 *4 = 24

Now we conclude with the third rectangle. We know one edge which is 5 and the other edge will be 8 because, at the opposite end, it tells us the length is 8.

Now we multiply 8 and 5.

8 * 5 = 40.

Now, the three numbers we have found are 40, 24, and 40. Our final step is to add up these three numbers from the rectangles we made to find the area.

40 + 24 + 40 =  104

The area will be 104 ft^2

Books are identified by an International Standard Book Number (ISBN), a 10-digit code x1 x2...x10, assigned by the publisher. These 10 digits consist of blocks identifying the language, the publisher, the number assigned to the book by its publishing company, and finally, a 1-digit check digit that is either a digit or the letter X (used to represent 10). This check digit is selected so that \sum_{i=1}^{10} ix_i \equiv 0 \text{ mod } 11 and is used to detect errors in individual digits and transposition of digits.

a. The ISBN for a book is 1-32-794182- Q} where Q is the check digit. What is Q?
b. The ISBN of another book is 2-429-39M18-6. Find the digit M.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Q = 1[/tex]

[tex]M = 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

Given: 1-32-794182- Q

Required: Find Q

To do this, we first multiply each digit in descending order of 10.

So, we have:

[tex]Product = 1 * 10 + 3 * 9 + 2 * 8 + 7 * 7 + 9 * 6 + 4 * 5 + 1 * 4 + 8 * 3 + 2 * 2 + Q * 1[/tex]

[tex]Product = 208 + Q *1[/tex]

[tex]Product = 208 + Q[/tex]

Equate the modulus of the product by 11 to 0

[tex]Product \% 11 = 0[/tex]

[tex](208 + Q) \% 11 = 0[/tex]

The next number greater than 208 divisible by 11 is 209.

So, we have:

[tex](208 + Q) \% 11 = 209 \% 11[/tex]

Express 209 as 208 + 1

[tex](208 + Q) \% 11 = (208 + 1)\% 11[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]Q = 1[/tex]

Hence, the checksum is 1

Solving (a):

Given: 2-429-39M18-6

Required: Find M

Apply the same step in (a)

So, we have:

[tex]Product = 2 * 10 + 4 * 9 + 2 * 8 + 9 * 7 + 3 * 6 + 9 * 5 + M * 4 + 1 * 3 + 8 * 2 + 6 * 1[/tex]

[tex]Product = 198 + 4M + 25[/tex]

[tex]Product = 223+ 4M[/tex]

Equate the modulus of the product by 11 to 0

[tex]Product \% 11 = 0[/tex]

[tex](223+ 4M) \% 11 = 0[/tex]

The next number greater than 223 divisible by 11 is 231.

So, we have:

[tex](223+ 4M) \% 11 = 231 \% 11[/tex]

Express 231 as 223 + 8

[tex](223+ 4M) \% 11 = (223 + 8) \% 11[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]4M = 8[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]M = 2[/tex]

The historical U.S. mean unemployment insurance benefit was reported to be $238 per week.

What would be the appropriate alternative hypothesis if he wanted to substantiate his suspicion

Answers

Answer:

The appropriate alternative hypothesis if he wanted to substantiate his suspicion would be [tex]H_{a}: \mu > 238[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

At the null hypothesis, we test that the mean is equal to a certain value.

At the alternate hypothesis, we test that the mean is different, less than or more than the mean value tested at the null hypothesis.

The historical U.S. mean unemployment insurance benefit was reported to be $238 per week.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{0}: \mu = 238[/tex]

A researcher in the state of Virginia anticipated that sample data would show evidence that the mean weekly unemployment insurance benefit in Virginia was above the national level.

This means that the alternate hypothesis is:
