A statistics practitioner would like to estimate a population mean to within 50 units with 99% confidence given that the population standard deviation is 250. What sample size should be used? b. Re-do part (a) changing the standard deviation to 50. c. Re-do part (a) using a 95% confidence leve

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 167

(b) 7

(c) 97

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the population mean μ is:

[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

The margin of error is:

[tex]MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Then the formula to estimate the sample size is:

[tex]n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma }{MOE}]^{2}[/tex]

(a)

For 99% confidence interval the critical value of z is:

z = 2.58.

The standard deviation is, 250.

Compute the sample size as follows:

[tex]n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma }{MOE}]^{2}[/tex]

   [tex]=[\frac{2.58\times 250}{50}]^{2}\\\\=(12.9)^{2}\\\\=166.41\\\\\approx 167[/tex]

The sample size that should be used is 167.

(b)

Now the standard deviation is, 50.

Compute the sample size as follows:

[tex]n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma }{MOE}]^{2}[/tex]

   [tex]=[\frac{2.58\times 50}{50}]^{2}\\\\=(2.58)^{2}\\\\=6.6564\\\\\approx 7[/tex]

The sample size that should be used is 7.

(c)

Now a 95% confidence level is used.

For 95% confidence interval the critical value of z is:

z = 1.96.

Compute the sample size as follows:

[tex]n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma }{MOE}]^{2}[/tex]

   [tex]=[\frac{1.96\times 250}{50}]^{2}\\\\=(9.8)^{2}\\\\=96.04\\\\\approx 97[/tex]

The sample size that should be used is 97.

n/6 = 16 - 4 - n

n = 6(12-n)

n = 6*12 + 6*-n

n = 72 - 6n

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 6mm and 10mm respectively, and they form an angle measuring 60. Find the area of the parallelogram. ​

Answers

Answer:

51.96 mm² approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

the first thing you should know is that the area of a rectangle is base*height sin of (

the included angle i.e

Arectangle= bh sin90° since all angles of a rectangle are equal then the included angle is 90°

Arectangle= bh sin90° since sin90 is 1 we simply use the equation bh because multiplying bh by one is bh. bearing this in mind , the area of the parallelogram can be calculated as:

Aparallelogram= bh sin of sin of the included angle

Aparallelogram= bh sin of sin of the included angle Aparallelogram=6mm*10mm sin 60°

Aparallelogram= bh sin of sin of the included angle Aparallelogram=6mm*10mm sin 60°Aparallelogram=60mm² * 0.866

Aparallelogram= bh sin of sin of the included angle Aparallelogram=6mm*10mm sin 60°Aparallelogram=60mm² * 0.866Aparallelogram=51.96 mm² approximately

D. To win, Jon needs a red card. He receives a Queen of Diamonds.

Answers

Answer:

B. Jon wants a face card so he can have a winning hand, and he receives the eight of clubs.

Step-by-step explanation:

non overlapping events are mutually exclusive events meaning that they do not occur together, one occurs and the other doesn't and vice versa. From the example, Jon wants a face card but got eight of clubs, he cannot have a face card and eight of clubs together, one occurs while the other is absent. So if Jon got a face card, he would not have eight of clubs

An instructor of a biology class believes the average final exam score for his biology class was more than 75. Suppose a sample of 25 was taken and the sample mean he observed was 78.48 and a standard deviation of 5 points. What is the value of the test statistic?Report your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The value for the test statistics = 3.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

population mean [tex]\mu[/tex] = 75

sample size n = 25

sample mean [tex]\overline x[/tex]= 78.48

standard deviation = 5

The value for the test statistics can be computed by using the formula:

[tex]z = \dfrac{\overline x- \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{78.48- 75}{\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{3.48}{\dfrac{5}{5}}[/tex]

z = 3.48

The value for the test statistics = 3.48

A spherical bowl of radius r cm is a quarter full when 6 liters of water is poured into it.calculate correct to three significant figures, the diameter of the bowl.

Answers

Answer:

The bowl's diameter is 35.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that 1 liter = 1000 cubic cm ad have in mind that in order to get a diameter in cm, we would need to write the volume of the bowl in cubic cm.

if 6 liters is 1/4 of the bowl, then 4 times 6 liters must fill the bowl. That is: the volume of the sphere is 24 liters.

24 liters in cubic cm is: 24000 cubic cm

now, we need to use the formula for the volume of a sphere of radius R:

[tex]Vol=\frac{4}{3} \pi\,R^3\\24000=\frac{4}{3} \pi\,R^3\\R^3=\frac{24000\,(3)}{4\,\pi} \\R=\sqrt[3]{\frac{24000\,(3)}{4\,\pi} } \\R\approx 17.894\,\,cm[/tex]

therefore, the diameter of the bowl is twice this radius value:

[tex]Diameter\approx 17.894\,* 2=35.788\,\,cm[/tex]

this value rounded to 3 significant figures is: 35.8 cm

What is the equation in point slope form of the line passing through (0,2) and (1,5)

Answers

Start by finding the slope of the line.

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = 5 - 2/1 - 0 ⇒ 3/1 ⇒ 3.

So the slope of the line is 3.

This can be used with either one of our two points

to write the equation of the line in point-slope form.

So let's go with the point (0, 2).

Point-slope form is written y - y1 = m(x - x1).

Since we are using the point (0, 2), y - y1 would be y - 2.

"m" would be 3 and x1 would be 0.

So we have y - 2 = 3(x - 0).

Comment on the function

This function seems to be the linear function ...

  distance = 32×time - 16

It seems a little odd that the distance associated with time zero is negative. We usually think of distance as a positive value, whereas displacement can be a signed value.

As a rule, time is measured as positive from some reference point (the start of motion, for example). Here, we have no reason to believe that the function is intended to be defined for negative time values.

iven h (t) = t squared + t + 12 andk (t) = StartRoot t minus 1 EndRoot, evaluate (k compose h) (10)

Answers

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given h(t) = t²+t+ 12 and k(t) = √t-1, we are to find k(k.h)(10)

k{h(t)} = k{ t²+t+ 12}

Since k(t)= √t-1, we will replace the variable t in the function with t²+t+ 12

k(h(t)) = √{(t²+t+ 12)-1}

k(h(t)) = √t²+t+12-1

k(h(t)) = √t²+t+11

Substituting t = 10 into the resulting function;

k(h(10)) =  √(10)²+(10)+11

k(h(10)) = √100+10+11

k(h(10)) = √121

k(h(10))= 11

hence the value of  (k compose h) (10) is 11

Can someone help explain how i would solve this using the pascals triangle? Like how to convert it into (x + 4)^3 = ax^b+cx^d+ex^f+g

Answers

Pascal's triangle is a way of organizing the coefficients in the binomial expansion, [tex](a+b)^n[/tex]:

n = 0   =>  1

n = 1    =>  1   1

n = 2   =>  1   2   1

n = 3   =>  1   3   3   1

n = 4   =>  1   4   6   4   1

and so on, where each row starts and ends with a 1, and the numbers in the middle are obtained by adding together the two numbers directly above and to the left. These coefficients are then mulitplied by descending powers of a and descending powers of b (or vice versa, because the pattern is symmetric), starting with 0 and going up to n.

In this case, we have

[tex](x+4)^3=1\cdot x^3\cdot4^0+3\cdot x^2\cdot4^1+3\cdot x^1\cdot4^2+1\cdot x^0\cdot4^3[/tex]

Notice how the powers of x and 4 always sum to n = 3.

Simplifying, we get

[tex](x+4)^3=x^3+12x^2+48x+64[/tex]
