A researcher is interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the mean number minutes students are concentrating on their professor during a one hour statistics lecture. The study included 150 students who averaged 42 minutes concentrating on their professor during the hour lecture. The standard deviation was 12 minutes.
Round your answers to two decimal places.
A. The sampling distribution follows a ____ distribution.
B. With 95% confidence the population mean minutes of concentration is between_____ and_____ minutes.
C. If many groups of 150 randomly selected students are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About ______ percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of minutes of concentration and about ______ percent will not contain the true population mean number of minutes of concentration.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Normal

B. Between 40.08 minutes and 43.92 minutes.

C. About 95 percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of minutes of concentration and about 5 percent will not contain the true population mean number of minutes of concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b.

Question A:

By the Central Limit Theorem, a normal distribution.

Question B:

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.

[tex]M = 1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{150}} = 1.92[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 42 - 1.92 = 40.08 minutes

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42 + 1.92 = 43.92 minutes

Between 40.08 minutes and 43.92 minutes.

Question C:

x% confidence interval -> x% will contain the true population mean, (100-x)% wont.

So, 95% confidence interval:

About 95 percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of minutes of concentration and about 5 percent will not contain the true population mean number of minutes of concentration.

x = 286.01 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Height of the ramp, H = 20 inches

Angle of elevation, [tex]\theta=4^{\circ}[/tex]

We need to find the value of x. It can be solved using trigonometry as follow :

[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}[/tex]

Where

P is perpendicular and B is base

So,

[tex]\tan(4)=\dfrac{20}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{20}{\tan(4)}\\\\x=286.01\ in[/tex]

So, the value of x is equal to 286.01 inches.

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 26 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 390 grams, how long would it be until the mass of the sample reached 260 grams, to the nearest tenth of a year?​

Answers

Answer:

It will take 15.029 years for element X to reach mass of 260 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life period of radioactive element X is 26 years

The initial mass of radioactive element X is 260 grams

Elapsed time = half life * log (beginning amount /ending amount)/log 2

Substituting the given values, we get

Elapsed time = 26 * log (390/260)/log 2

=  15.209 years

n a study to investigate whether vitamin C will prevent colds, 400 subjects are assigned at random to one of two groups. The experimental group takes a vitamin C tablet daily, while the control group takes a placebo. At the end of the experiment, the researchers calculate the difference between the percentage of subjects in the two groups who were free of colds. This difference is statistically significant (P=0.03) in favor of the vitamin C group.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The aim of this question is to see if we can infer and conclude that vitamin C has a good impact in preventing colds based on the evidence provided.

Null hypothesis: Vitamin C has no effect on preventing colds.

Alternative hypothesis: Vitamin C has a strong effect on preventing colds.

Assuming, significance level = 0.05

Since the p-value for the difference is 0.03 which is less than 0.05.

Hence, the null hypothesis is rejected (which is there is no effect of vitamin C).

As a result, it can be concluded that Vitamin C has a major impact on the prevention of colds.

Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 21% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%. Use the 0.01 significance level to test that claim.

Answers

Answer:

The pvalue of the test is 0.0784 > 0.01, which means that at this significance level, we do not reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{0}: p = 0.29[/tex]

We want to test the hypothesis that this is true, so the alternate hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{a}: p \neq 0.29[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.29 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.29, \sigma = \sqrt{0.29*0.71}[/tex]

Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 21% of them are blue.

This means that [tex]n = 100, X = 0.21[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.21 - 0.29}{\frac{\sqrt{0.29*0.71}}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.76[/tex]

Pvalue of the test:

The pvalue of the test is the probability of the sample proportion differing at least 0.21 - 0.29 = 0.08 from the population proportion, which is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of Z = -1.76.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.76 has a pvalue of 0.0392

2*0.0392 = 0.0784

The pvalue of the test is 0.0784 > 0.01, which means that at this significance level, we do not reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

c = 85 in is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 36 in

b = 77 in

c = ?

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

a² + b² = c²

36² + 77² = c²

1296 + 5929 = c²

7225 = c²

c = 85 in

∴ c = 85 in is the length of the missing leg.

You can use the pythagorean theorem which is a^2 + b^2=c^2
36^2+77^2=c^2
1296+5929=c^2
C^2=7225
C=-_/7225
C=85
