g You measure 40 textbooks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 73 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 11.7 ounces. Based on this, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The confidence interval is 73 ± 4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to construct a 99% confidence interval

Mathematically;

mean ± Z * S.D/√n

From the question

mean = 73

SD = 11.7 ounces

Z score = 2.576 for 99% Confidence interval

n = sample size = 40

Thus;

73 ± (2.576 * 11.7)/√40

73 ± 4.8

So the range of values are;

73 + 4.8 and 73-4.8

= 77.8 and 68.2

The lower boundary is 68.2

The upper boundary is 77.8

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

 [tex]\mu_{\hat p}= p[/tex]

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

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

(a)

The sample selected is of size n = 450 > 30.

Then according to the central limit theorem the sampling distribution of sample proportion is normally distributed.

The mean and standard deviation are:

[tex]\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.75\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{450}}=0.0204[/tex]

So, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is [tex]\hat p\sim N(0.75,0.0204^{2})[/tex].

(b)

Compute the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion as follows:

[tex]P(p-0.04<\hat p<p+0.04)=P(\frac{-0.04}{0.0204}<\frac{\hat p-p}{\sigma_{\hat p}}<\frac{0.04}{0.0204})[/tex]

                                          [tex]=P(-1.96<Z<196)\\=P(Z<1.96)-P(Z<-1.96)\\=0.975-0.025\\=0.95[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion is 0.95.

(c)

The sample selected is of size n = 200 > 30.

Then according to the central limit theorem the sampling distribution of sample proportion is normally distributed.

The mean and standard deviation are:

[tex]\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.75\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{200}}=0.0306[/tex]

So, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is [tex]\hat p\sim N(0.75,0.0306^{2})[/tex].

(d)

Compute the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion as follows:

[tex]P(p-0.04<\hat p<p+0.04)=P(\frac{-0.04}{0.0306}<\frac{\hat p-p}{\sigma_{\hat p}}<\frac{0.04}{0.0306})[/tex]

                                          [tex]=P(-1.31<Z<196)\\=P(Z<1.31)-P(Z<-1.96)\\=0.9049-0.0951\\=0.8098\\\approx 0.81[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion is 0.81.

(e)

The probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion if the sample size is 450 is 0.95.

And the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion if the sample size is 200 is 0.81.

So, there is a gain in precision on increasing the sample size.

Determine the ordered pair that satisfies the equation, -5x - 6y = -8.

Answers

Answer:

-2&-4

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x-6y=-8

it is a quadratic equation:

-5x-6y+8=0

(x-2)(x-4)

cross multiple and you'll get

-5x-6y+8=0

I don't know if you want to solve for x or y so I'm gonna do both.

Answer: x=-6/5y+8/5; y=-5/6x+4/3

Explanation: -5x-6y=-8 start by answering for x by adding it to both sides, -6y=-8+5x then add 8 to both sides, -6y+8=5x then divide 5 from both sides x=-6/5y+8/5. Now lets solve for y -5x-6y=-8 add 6y to both sides, -5x=-8+6y then add 8 to both sides, -5x+8=6y, then divide 6 from both sides -5/6x+8/6=y then simplify 8/6 into 4/3 and rewrite the equation y=-5/6x+4/3

Find the unit rate for each of the following tables

Answers

Answer:

First table's unit rate is -1.6

Second table's unit rate is  3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First table:

[tex]\Delta y/\Delta x =(-16--8)/(10-5)= -8/5[/tex]

and this is constant for any pair of (x, y) values of the table.

So the unit rate is: -8/5 = -1.6

Second table:

[tex]\Delta y/\Delta x =(21-7)/(6-2)=14/4=7/2[/tex]

and the rate is constant for any pair of (x, y) values of the table.

So the unit rate is: 7/2 = 3.5

Based on a life insurance company's past data, each year an average of 1/90 policy holders
make a claim of $250; 1/100 policy holders make a claim of $12,000, and 1/400 make a claim
of $17,000. What would the insurance company have to charge per policyholder to break
even?

Answers

Answer:

1. The expected pay-out on each policy is 250 * 1/90 + 12000 * 1/100 + 17000 * 1/400 = $165.  So that's what the premium would have to be in order to get a profit of 0.

 

2. The profit per policy is the premium the company receives minus the expected payout = 350 - 165 = $185.

 

3. The expected profit on 375 policies would be 375 * 185 = $69375

In a chemistry class, 12 L of a 12% alcohol solution must be mixed with a 20% solution to get a 14% solution. How many liters of the 20% solution are needed?

Answers

Let x = liters 20% solution to be added
then

.12(12) + .20x = .14(12+x)
.12(12) + .20x = .14(12+x)
1.44 + .20x = 1.68 + .14x
.20x = .24 + .14x
.06x = .24
x = 4 liters


Hope this helped!!

4 liters of 20% solution are needed to get a 14% solution.

Suppose x liters of 20% solution is needed to get a 14% solution.

What is a solution?

The solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts.

So, according to the question

Final concentration of solution = 14%

So, 12% of 12  + 20% of x = 14% of (12+x)

12*12/100 + 20*x/100 = 14*(12+x)/100

144 + 20x = 168 + 14x

6x =24

x=4

4 liters of 20% solution is needed to get a 14% solution.

Therefore, 4 liters of 20% solution is needed to get a 14% solution.

What is rate of change of function?

"The rate of change function is the rate at which one quantity is changing with respect to another quantity."

Given: The weight of an ice sculpture changes [tex]-1\frac{4}{5}[/tex] pounds every hour.

We need to find the total change in weight of the sculpture after [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours.

i.e., the rate of change of an ice sculpture per hour is -1 4/5 pound.

Total change in weight of the sculpture after t hours

= change in the weight of the sculpture per hour × t

= [tex](-1\frac{4}{5}) \times (3\frac{1}{2} )[/tex]

= [tex](-\frac{9}{5} ) \times (\frac{7}{2} )[/tex]

= [tex]-\frac{63}{10}[/tex]

= [tex]\bold{-6\frac{3}{10}}[/tex] pounds

Therefore, the total change in weight of the sculpture after 3 1/2 hours is, [tex]\bold{-6\frac{3}{10}}[/tex] pounds.
