b) 0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.
c) 0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.
d) None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
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.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as the population mean and assume the population standard deviation of preparation fees is $100.
This means that [tex]\mu = 273, \sigma = 100[/tex]
A) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?
Sample of 30 means that [tex]n = 30, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}[/tex]
The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 273 + 16 = 289 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 273 - 16 = 257. So
X = 289
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.88[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8106
X = 257
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.88[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1894
0.8106 - 0.1894 = 0.6212
0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.
B) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?
Sample of 30 means that [tex]n = 50, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}[/tex]
X = 289
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.13[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.13[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8708
X = 257
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.13[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.13[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1292
0.8708 - 0.1292 = 0.7416
0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.
C) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?
Sample of 30 means that [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}[/tex]
X = 289
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.6[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.6[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9452
X = 257
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.6[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.6[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0648
0.9452 - 0.0648 =
0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.
D) Which, if any of the sample sizes in part (a), (b), and (c) would you recommend to ensure at least a .95 probability that the same mean is withing $16 of the population mean?
None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.
C is actually 0.8904

One way to check on how representative a survey is of the population from which it was drawn is to compare various characteristics of the sample with the population characteristics. A typical variable used for this purpose is age. The 2010 GSS of the American adult population found a mean age 49.28 years and a standard deviation of 17.21 for its sample of 4,857 adults. Assume that we know from Census data that the mean age of all American adults is 37.2 years.
Required:
a. State the research and the null hypothesis setting for a two-tailed test.
b. Calculate the t statistics and test the null hypothesis setting alpha at .01. What did you find?
c. What is your decision about the null hypothesis? What does this tell us about how representative the sample is of the American adult population?
Answer:
a) See step by Step explanation
b) z(s) = 48.88
c) We reject H₀. The sample is not representative of American Adult Population
Step-by-step explanation:
From sample
sample mean . x = 49.28
sample standard deviationn s = 17.21
sample size n₁ = 4857
Population mean according to Census data
μ = 37.2
a) Test Hypothesis
Null Hypothesis . H₀ . x = μ = 37.2
Alternative Hypothesis Hₐ . x ≠ μ
b) We have sample size (4857) we can use normal distribution
z (c) for α = 0.01 α/2 . = 0.005 is from z-table . z(c) = 2.575
To calculate z(s) = ( x - μ ) / s /√n
z(s) = 12.08 * √4857 / 17.21
z(s) = 12.08* 69.64 / 17.21
z(s) = 48.88
z(s) > z(c)
We should reject H₀. The sample is not representative of American Adult population

What is the mean?
9.12.34.6.8.9.
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.
Answer:
The mean (average) of these numbers is equal to 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Another word for the "mean" of numbers is the "average" of numbers. You can find the average by adding all the numbers together and then dividing the sum you got by the number of values you added together, so in our case, there are 6 values given, therefore we will find the sum of all these numbers and then divide it by 6...
[tex]\frac{9 + 12 + 34 + 6 + 8 + 9}{6} = \frac{78}{6} = 13[/tex]
Therefore, the mean (average) of this number is equal to 13.

A trough is 10 ft long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 4 ft across at the top and have a height of 1 ft. If the trough is being filled with water at a rate of 15 ft3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 8 inches deep
Answer:
7.5 ft³/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the depth below the surface of the water. The height, h of the water is thus h = 10 - x.
Now, the volume of water V = Ah where A = area of isosceles base of trough = 1/2bh' where b = base of triangle = 4 ft and h' = height of triangle = 1 ft. So, A = 1/2 × 4 ft × 1 ft = 2 ft²
So, V = Ah = 2h = 2(10 - x)
The rate of change of volume is thus
dV/dt = d[2(10 - x)]/dt = -2dx/dt
Since dV/dt = 15 ft³/min,
dx/dt = -(dV/dt)/2 = -15 ft³/min ÷ 2 = -7.5 ft³/min
Since the height of the water is h = 10 - x, the rate at which the water level is rising is dh/dt = d[10 - x]/dt
= -dx/dt
= -(-7.5 ft³/min)
= 7.5 ft³/min
And the height at this point when x = 8 inches = 8 in × 1 ft/12 in = 0.67 ft is h = (10 - 0.67) ft = 9.33 ft

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
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.
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-1Then the margin of error(MOE) is obtained as
Case 1: Population standard deviation is knownMargin 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.

if f(x)=x+8 and g(x)=-4x-3 find (f+g)(x)
Answer:
for this case we have the following functions:
f (x) = x + 8
g (x) = -4x - 3
Subtracting the functions we have:
(f - g) (x) = f (x) - g (x)
(f - g) (x) = (x + 8) - (-4x - 3)
Rewriting:
(f - g) (x) = x + 8 + 4x + 3

h(f(x))= 3(2x+8) - 6
h(f(x)) = 6x + 24 - 6
h(f(x))= 6x + 18

The mean per capita consumption of milk per year is 131 liters with a variance of 841. If a sample of 132 people is randomly selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters
Answer:
0.8389 = 83.89% probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
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.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
The mean per capita consumption of milk per year is 131 liters with a variance of 841.
This means that [tex]\mu = 131, \sigma = \sqrt{841} = 29[/tex]
Sample of 132 people
This means that [tex]n = 132, s = \frac{29}{\sqrt{132}}[/tex]
What is the probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 133.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{133.5 - 131}{\frac{29}{\sqrt{132}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.99[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.99[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8389
0.8389 = 83.89% probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters.
