A long history of testing water samples in a certain lake has shown that the level of a certain pollutant is approximately normally
distributed with standard deviation 4.5 mg/L. What is the minimum number of samples required to estimate today's level to within 0.4
mg/L with 95% confidence? (Don't forget to round Zc to two decimal places!)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum number of samples required is 487.

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 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/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 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

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.

Standard deviation 4.5 mg/L.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 4.5[/tex]

What is the minimum number of samples required to estimate today's level to within 0.4 mg/L with 95% confidence?

This is n for which M = 0.4. So

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

[tex]0.4 = 1.96\frac{4.5}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.4\sqrt{n} = 1.96*4.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*4.5}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*4.5}{0.4})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 486.2[/tex]

Rounding up

The minimum number of samples required is 487.

An equilateral triangle has side length 8 units. What is the area?
A. 24√3 units
B. 24 units
C. 32 units
D. 16√3 units

Answers

Answer:

D. 16√3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area, you have to find the height. To find that, you spit the triangle in half for a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle and figure out that the height is 4√3.

After you find the height, you do the equation for the area of a triangle which is 1/2 side * height, and you fill it out.

1/2 8 * 4√3

4 * 4√3

John has an annual salary of $48,000.00 and he is paid every two weeks. What will his
gross income be on each paycheck?

Answers

Answer: $1846

Step-by-step explanation:

First and foremost, we should note that there are 52 weeks in a year. Therefore the biweekly payment of John will be gotten by dividing his gross income by 26 weeks i.e (52weeks/2) since it's biweekly.

Therefore, the gross income on each paycheck will be:

= $48,000.00 / 26

= $1846.15

= $1846 approximately

The gross income on each paycheck is $1846.

Answers

Answer:

3.06

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is - 3.06

Reason -

For sample A :

mean, [tex]\bar{x_{1} }[/tex] = 8.05          

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma_{1}[/tex] = 1.36          

Size, [tex]n_{1}[/tex] = 50          

                 

For sample B :

mean, [tex]\bar{x_{2} }[/tex] = 7.26          

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma_{2}[/tex] = 1.06          

Size, [tex]n_{2}[/tex] = 38

Now,

[tex]\bar{x_{1} }[/tex] - [tex]\bar{x_{2} }[/tex]  = 8.05 - 7.26 = 0.79

Standard deviation error, SE = √([tex]\sigma_{1}[/tex]²/[tex]n_{1}[/tex] + [tex]\sigma_{2}[/tex]²/[tex]n_{2}[/tex])  = 0.2580

Now,

Z-statistic = ([tex]\bar{x_{1} }[/tex] - [tex]\bar{x_{2} }[/tex] )/ SE

                = 0.79/0.2580

                = 3.06

⇒Z-statistic = 3.06

The lateral area is formula for a cylinder is

where r is radius and h is height.

The surface area of cylinder is

[tex]2\pi \times {r}^{2} + 2\pi \times r \times h[/tex]

[tex]2\pi(64) + 2\pi(24)[/tex]

Volume of cylinder is

[tex]\pi \times {r}^{2} \times h[/tex]

[tex]\pi \times 64 \times 3[/tex]

[tex]192\pi[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral area is the sides so for this it's  distance around x 3 . b/c the cylinder is 3 units tall... sooo

r= radius  ,  d= diameter

circumference = distance around = 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r  or d[tex]\pi[/tex] = 16[tex]\pi[/tex]  

Lateral area is 16[tex]\pi[/tex]*3 = 48[tex]\pi[/tex]

Surface area is the lateral area + the top and bottom

the area of a circle is [tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{2}[/tex]

the area of this circle for the top is [tex]\pi[/tex][tex]8^{2}[/tex]

64[tex]\pi[/tex]

times 2 b/c there is also a top and a bottom

128[tex]\pi[/tex] + 48[tex]\pi[/tex] = 176[tex]\pi[/tex]

surface area is 176[tex]\pi[/tex]  [tex]units^{2}[/tex]

Volume of a cylinder is area of the circle base times the height.  

the base is 64[tex]\pi[/tex]

time 3 = 192[tex]\pi[/tex] [tex]units^{3}[/tex]

Volume is 603.1857 [tex]units^{3}[/tex]

A college administrator wanted to know if the proportion of students who request online classes, lab classes, or lecture classes was different at two different campuses. At each campus, the administrator took a random sample of 250 students and asked each student which type of class they preferred. The conditions for the appropriate test were verified, and the chi-square test statistic for the test was calculated to be 4.01 with an associated p-value of 0.1347. If the significance level of the test was alpha = .05, what conclusion should the college administrator make about the proportion of students who request online classes, lab classes, or lecture classes at two different campuses?
A. There is convincing statistical evidence to suggest that the proportion of students who request certain classes is the same at each campus.
B. There is convincing statistical evidence to suggest that the proportion of students who request certain classes is different at each campus.

Answer:

There is convincing statistical evidence to suggest that the proportion of students who request certain classes is the same at each campus. ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sample size = 250

Test statistic = 4.01

P-value = 0.1347

significance level  = 0.05

while using chi-square we are supposed to reject H0, but we cant get the critical value ( Z - value ) because the information isn't available , but we are left with the P-value and this P-value been very low shows that the Alternate hypothesis is not strong enough for us to reject the Null hypothesis.

hence we will accept the Null Hypothesis  

Answer: B. There is not convincing statistical evidence to suggest that the proportion of students who request certain classes is different at each campus.

Step-by-step explanation: The null hypothesis is that the proportion of students who request certain classes is the same at each campus. Since the p-value is greater than a, there is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the alternative hypothesis, that the proportion of students who request certain classes is different at each campus.

The sum of two numbers is 802, and the difference of the 2 numbers is
438. What are the two numbers?

Answers

Answer:

x = 620

y = 182

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 802

x + y = 802

The difference of two numbers is 438

x - y = 438

x + y = 802

x - y = 438 Add

2x = 1240    Divide by 2

x = 1240/2

x = 620

x + y = 802

620 + y = 802      Subtract 620 from both sides

y = 802 - 620

y = 182

     

Parents wish to have $100,00 available for a child’s education. If the child is now 9 years old, how much money must be set aside at 6% compounded semiannually to meet their financial goal when the child is 18.

The amount that should be set aside is $____. (Round up to the nearest dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

$58,739.46   so $58,739

Step-by-step explanation:

I suspect you want $100,000      not $10000

  A = P(1 + r/t)^nt

A = final amount

P = initial principal

r = interest rate

n = number of times the interest is applied per time period

t = number of time periods elapsed

number of time periods is 18-9  = 9

semiannual 2   makes n = 2

A = 100,000

P = ????

r  = 0.06

n = 2

t  = 2

I used to finance calculator app to find P = 58739.46

and double checked by using the formula to find A

A = P(1 + r/t)^nt

   = 58739( 1 + 0.06/2)^(2(9))

  = 58739.46( 1.03)^18

  = 99999.9987

OR

A = P(1 + r/t)^nt            solve for P

P =  A/[(1 + r/t)^nt]

  =  10000/[(1 + 0.06/2)^(2(9))]

  =  100000 / [1.03^18]

 =  $58,739.46
