In a random sample of 26 residents of the state of Montana, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 2.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.23 pounds. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Montana. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is T = 1.316.

The 80% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Montana is between 2.741 pounds and 2.859 pounds.

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 = 26 - 1 = 25

80% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 25 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.8}{2} = 0.9[/tex]. So we have T = 1.316

The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is T = 1.316.

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.316\frac{0.23}{\sqrt{26}} = 0.059[/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 2.8 - 0.059 = 2.741 pounds

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 2.8 + 0.059 = 2.859 pounds.

The 80% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Montana is between 2.741 pounds and 2.859 pounds.

Suppose that the probability distribution for birth weights is normal with a mean of 120 ounces and a standard deviation of 20 ounces. The probability that a randomly selected infant has a birth weight between 100 ounces and 140 ounces is [ Select ] 68%. The probability that a randomly selected infant has a birth weight between 110 and 130 is [ Select ] 68%.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected infant has a birth weight between 100 ounces and 140 ounces is 68%.

The probability that a randomly selected infant has a birth weight between 110 and 130 is 38%.

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.

Mean of 120 ounces and a standard deviation of 20 ounces.

This means that [tex]\mu = 120, \sigma = 20[/tex]

The probability that a randomly selected infant has a birth weight between 100 ounces and 140 ounces is

p-value of Z when X = 140 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 100.

X = 140

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

[tex]Z = \frac{140 - 120}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.84

X = 100

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

[tex]Z = \frac{100 - 120}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.16

0.84 - 0.16 = 0.68

The probability that a randomly selected infant has a birth weight between 100 ounces and 140 ounces is 68%.

The probability that a randomly selected infant has a birth weight between 110 and 130

This is the p-value of Z when X = 130 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 110.

X = 130

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

[tex]Z = \frac{130 - 120}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.69

X = 110

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

[tex]Z = \frac{110 - 120}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.31

0.69 - 0.31 = 0.38 = 38%.

The probability that a randomly selected infant has a birth weight between 110 and 130 is 38%.

Let Y1 and Y2 denote the proportions of time (out of one workday) during which employees I and II, respectively, perform their assigned tasks. The joint relative frequency behavior of Y1 and Y2 is modeled by the density function.

f (y 1,y2)=y 1+y 2 o<=y 1<=1, 0<=y2<=1(0 elsewhere)

a. Find P (Y1< 1/2,y2>1/4)
b. Find P(Y 1+Y2<=1)
Are Y1 and Y2 independent?

Answers

(a) The region Y₁ < 1/2 and Y₂ > 1/4 corresponds to the rectangle,

{(y₁, y₂) : 0 ≤ y₁ < 1/2 and 1/4 < y₂ ≤ 1}

Integrate the joint density over this region:

[tex]P\left(Y_1<\dfrac12,Y_2>\dfrac14\right) = \displaystyle\int_0^{\frac12}\int_{\frac14}^1 (y_1+y_2)\,\mathrm dy_2\,\mathrm dy_1 = \boxed{\dfrac{21}{64}}[/tex]

(b) The line Y₁ + Y₂ = 1 cuts the support in half into a triangular region,

{(y₁, y₂) : 0 ≤ y₁ < 1 and 0 < y₂ ≤ 1 - y₁}

Integrate to get the probability:

[tex]P(Y_1+Y_2\le1) = \displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^{1-y_1}(y_1+y_2)\,\mathrm dy_2\,\mathrm dy_1 = \boxed{\dfrac13}[/tex]

Y₁ and Y₂ are not independent because

P(Y₁ = y₁, Y₂ = y₂) ≠ P(Y₁ = y₁) P(Y₂ = y₂)

To see this, compute the marginal densities of Y₁ and Y₂.

[tex]P(Y_1=y_1) = \displaystyle\int_0^1 f(y_1,y_2)\,\mathrm dy_2 = \begin{cases}\frac{2y_1+1}2&\text{if }0\le y_1\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]P(Y_2=y_2) = \displaystyle\int_0^1 f(y_1,y_2)\,\mathrm dy_1 = \begin{cases}\frac{2y_2+1}2&\text{if }0\le y_2\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]\implies P(Y_1=y_1)P(Y_2=y_2) = \begin{cases}\frac{(2y_1+1)(2y_2_1)}4&\text{if }0\le y_1\le1,0\ley_2\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

but this clearly does not match the joint density.

A bus started from Kathmandu and reached khanikhola,26km far from Kathmandu, in one hour. if the bus had uniform acceleration, calculate the final velocity of the bus and acceleration. ​

Answers

Answer:

a = 0.0040 m/s², v = 14.4 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The distance between Kathmandu and Khanikhola, d = 26 km = 26000 m

Time, t = 1 hour = 3600 seconds

Let a is the acceleration of the bus. Using second equation of motion,

[tex]d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

Where

u is the initial speed of the bus, u = 0

So,

[tex]d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\a=\dfrac{2d}{t^2}\\\\a=\dfrac{2\times 26000}{(3600)^2}\\\\a=0.0040\ m/s^2[/tex]

Now using first equation of motion.

Final velocity, v = u +at

So,

v = 0+0.0040(3600)

v = 14.4 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work backward.

If he has 24 after adding 6, he had 18 before that addition.

If he had 18 after tripling his collection, he had 18/3 = 6 cards to start with.

__

Note that this is the same process you would use if you started with an equation.

  3c +6 = 24 . . . . where c is the number of cards Johnny started with

  3c = 24 -6 = 18 . . . . . subtract 6 from the final number

  c = 18/3 = 6 . . . . . . . . divide the tripled value by 3 to see the original value

a rectangle box has length 12 inches, width 15 inches, and a height of 17 inches. Find the angle between the diagonal of the box and the diagonal of its base. The angle should be measured in radiands

Answers

Answer:

0.7246 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given that, a rectangle box has length 12 inches, width 15 inches, and a height of 17 inches

The length of the base diagonal (d) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem on length and width:

d = √{ (12)² +(15)² }  = √(144+225) = √369inches

The tangent of the angle is the ratio of the height of the box to this length

 Tan∅ = 17/√369

Taking the [tex]Tan^{-1}[/tex] , we have

∅ = [tex]Tan^{-1}[/tex](17/√369) ≈ 0.7246 radians

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.03125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = 0.03125[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Fair coin:

Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

5 tosses:

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

Probability distribution:

Probability of each outcome, so:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.03125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125[/tex]

I believe the answer is 7% but it says round to the nearest tenth of a percent so I am not sure if it is a decimal answer or not. Can someone help me out please?

Answers

Answer:   6.1% decrease

Note: It appears that your teacher doesn't want you to type in the percent sign, as that's already covered for you.

=========================================================

Explanation:

The salary decreased by 51500-48355 = 3145

Divide this over the initial salary to get 3145/51500 = 0.0611 which is approximate.

This converts to the percentage 6.11% and that rounds to 6.1%

----------------

As an alternative, you can use the formula method below

A = old value = 51500

B = new value = 48355

C = percent change when going from A to B

C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%

C = [ (48355-51500)/51500 ] * 100%

C = (-3145/51500)*100%

C = -0.0611*100%

C = -6.11%

C = -6.1%

The negative C value indicates a percent decrease.
