The Retail Advertising and Marketing Association would like to estimate the average amount of money that a person spends for Mother's Day with a 99% confidence interval and a margin of error within plus or minus $6. Assuming the standard deviation for spending on Mother's Day is $36, the required sample size is ________.
A) 313 B) 284 C) 210 D) 239

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D) 239

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].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]z = 2.575[/tex]

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.

Required sample size:

Is n

n is found when [tex]M = 6[/tex]

We have that [tex]\sigma = 36[/tex]

So

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

[tex]6 = 2.575*\frac{36}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]6\sqrt{n} = 36*2.575[/tex]

Simplifying by 6

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 6*2.575[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (6*2.575)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = 238.7[/tex]

We round up, and the answer is 239.

Square feet of Carpeting : 136 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us divide this figure into two shapes, each being rectangles;

Considering the first, smaller shape, with a given dimension of 7 feet we can see that the second dimensions is 13 - 9, ⇒ 4 feet

The Area of this part would thus be ⇒ 7 * 4 = 28 ft^2

Now this second figure is provided with dimensions 12 by 9 feet, so that the  area would, by definition ⇒ length * width = 12 * 9 ⇒ 108 ft^2. The total area of this figure is, by Partition Postulate : 108 + 28 ⇒ 136 square feet

If Sara plans to carpet the room, clearly the carpeting's area should be equivalent to that of the area of the room. This would mean;

Answer:

  If the integer is in the range 1–15, then the weather could be declared rainy

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the integers are uniformly distributed 15 of them will constitute 30% of the possible integer. If the integer is in the range 1–15, then the weather could be declared rainy. That would make the probability of rain 30%, as required.

The mean age of 5 people in a room is 40 years.
A person enters the room.
The mean age is now 37.
What is the age of the person who entered the room?

Answers

Answer:

22years

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of ages of people in the room is 40 * 5= 200

[ Remember mean = total ahead of people/ number of people]

Let the age of the 6th person be X

200+x. / 6 = 37

200 + x = 37 * 6 = 222

x = 222- 200 = 22

if your shadow is twice your height, what is the angle of elevation of the sun?

A. The angle of elevation is about 27°
B. The angle of elevation is 30°
C. The angle of elevation is 60°
D. The angle of elevation is 63°​

Answers

Answer:

The angle of elevation is about 27°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's view this case in the form of a right angled triangle. With the original height as the opposite side to the elevation angle and the shadow length as the adjacent side.

Let x represent the original height

2x is the length of shadow

And θ the angle of elevation

Applying trigonometry;

Tan θ = opposite/adjacent = original height/shadow length

Substituting the values;

Tan θ = x/2x

Tan θ = 1/2

θ = taninverse(1/2)

θ = 26.56505117707

θ ≈ 27°

Elevation angle is approximately 27°

screen. If thereen measures 36 inches in height, what
is the actual width of the screen to the nearest tenth of

Answers

Answer:

48 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of the TV = 60 Inches

Height of the Screen =36 Inches

We are to determine the actual width of the screen.

This TV across the diagonal forms a right triangle in which the diagonal is the hypotenuse.

We therefore use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the width of the screen.

Pythagorean Theorem: [tex]Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2[/tex]

Let w be the width of the television

[tex]60^2=36^2+w^2\\w^2=60^2-36^2\\w^2=2304\\w=\sqrt{2304}\\ $Width of the television, w=48 inches[/tex]

What is the area of the shaded region between the two z-scores indicated in the standard normal curve shown below. z=-1.23 z=0.83

Answers

Answer:

Correct option A: 0.6874

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To calculate the area within the interval [-1.23; 0.83], you have to subtract to the probability accumulated till the lower value to the probability accumulated to the higher value, symbolically:

P(Z≤0.83)-P(Z≤-1.23)

You have to use the Z table to look for the corresponding values of probability. The negative value is in the left entry and the positive value is in the right entry. The first column shows the integer and first decimal value, the second decimal value is in the first row, you cross both values and find the value of probability.

P(Z≤0.83)-P(Z≤-1.23)= 0.7967 - 0.1093= 0.6874

B. When using paired​ data, keep the sample very small in order to keep the data manageable.

C. The methods for dependent samples can be used for any matched pairs.

D. Using two independent samples is the best choice for accurate results.

Answers

Answer:

A). Using dependent samples with paired data is generally better than using two independent samples.

Explanation:

Observational studies is the research/study design in which the investigator observes the samples collected from the population in their natural pattern to make valid inferences without any kind of manipulation or interference. While the experimental studies involves a controlled or manipulated variable in order to check its impact over the independent variable and the relation between the two.

As per the question, the design principle that is emphasized for both the studies would be 'employing dependent samples along with the paired data is usually effective than employing two independent samples' as the former concerns one set of elements that makes them 'self-evident'(as the subjects of one sample can be employed to determine the subjects of other). Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the whole shape, an easier way would be to find the volume of each seperate prism and add them together.

The top/smaller prism has dimensions of 4mm x 3mm x 9mm.

Multiply together and you get (4mm x 3mm) x 9mm = 12mm x 9mm = 108mm

The bottom/bigger prism has the dimensions of 12mm x 9mm x 20mm

Multiply together and you get (12mm x 9mm) x 20mm = 108mm X 20mm = 2160mm

Add 108mm + 2160mm and you get the final volume of 2268mm^3

B.  Paying with credit cards can end up conting more money

C.  Paying with additional loans can lead to connections and opportunities

D.  Taking on a job can make connections that lead to opportunities

Answer:

C.  Paying with additional loans can lead to connections and opportunities

Step-by-step explanation:

When faced with needing additional money during college, an individual may chose to take on job so to get extra money to finance his or her needs. However, such venture often leads to redcution in study time, as working on jobs will also needs it own time of execution.

Also, paying for financial needs during college days with credit card can lead to counting more money on the card. This implies that one can accumulate credit card rewards which can be in form of cashback, or points from certain purchases when using credit card.

More so, taking a job during college days, will definitely brings connections with different people, and thereby leads to opportunities.

However, paying with additional loans will never lead to connections and opportunities, but rather more debt, that the debtor will have to pay, which may take months or years. And it can only be a burden on the debtor.

Hence, when faced with needing additional money during college the option that is NOT true is Paying with additional loans can lead to connections and opportunities

In a study of cell phone usage and brain hemispheric​ dominance, an Internet survey was​ e-mailed to 6967 subjects randomly selected from an online group involved with ears. There were 1331 surveys returned. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the return rate is less than​ 20%. Use the​ P-value method and use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.191 -0.2}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{6967}}}=-1.878[/tex]  

Now we can find the p value using the alternative hypothesis and with the following probability:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.878)=0.0302[/tex]  

We see that the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.01 so then we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and there is NOT enough evidence to conclude that the return rate is less than​ 20% at 1% of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=6967 represent the random sample selected

X=1331 represent the surveys returned

[tex]\hat p=\frac{1331}{6967}=0.192[/tex] estimated proportion of return rate

tex]p_o=0.2[/tex] is the value to verify

[tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We test the claim that the return rate is less than​ 20%, then the system of hypothesis are:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.2[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.2[/tex]  

The statistic is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

[tex]z=\frac{0.191 -0.2}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{6967}}}=-1.878[/tex]  

Now we can find the p value using the alternative hypothesis and with the following probability:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.878)=0.0302[/tex]  

We see that the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.01 so then we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and there is NOT enough evidence to conclude that the return rate is less than​ 20% at 1% of significance

What is the residual of a week in which a barrel of crude oil costs $60 and a barrel of jet fuel costs $78?

Answers

Answer:

residual cost = $24.57

Step-by-step explanation:

The residual is the difference between the observed value of y and the predicted value of y. The least square regression equation was used to predict cost in dollars per barrel of jet fuel  from the cost , in dollars ,per barrel of crude oil. The residual value is the difference between the observed or measured value and the predicted value of  the regression model . The predicted value is gotten from the regression equation.

y = 2 + 6/7 x

where

x = cost of a barrel of crude oil

x = $60

y = 2 + 6/7 × 60

y = 2 + 360/7

y = 2 + 51.4285714286

y = 53.4285714286

y = $53. 43

predicted cost = $53. 43

Measured cost  = $78

residual = observed value - predicted value

residual = 78 - 53.43

residual cost = $24.57

The residual of a week in which a barrel of crude oil costs $60 and a barrel of jet fuel costs $78 is $24.57

What is the residual value?

The residual value is the difference between the observed or measured value and the predicted value of the regression model.

Given that a barrel of crude oil costs $60 and a barrel of jet fuel costs $78.

According to the question, we have;

y = 2 + 6/7 x

where x = the cost of a barrel of crude oil

x = $60

Substitute;

y = 2 + 6/7 × 60

y = 2 + 360/7

y = 2 + 51.4285714286

y = 53.4285714286

y = $53. 43

The predicted cost is $53. 43

Measured cost  = $78

Then the residual = observed value - predicted value

The residual = 78 - 53.43

Residual cost = $24.57

Hence, the residual of a week in which a barrel of crude oil costs $60 and a barrel of jet fuel costs $78 is  $24.57
