Most people complain that they gain weight during the December holidays. To find out how much, we sample the weights of 23 adults in mid-November and again in early to mid-January. The mean weight change for the sample was a gain of 1.64 lbs., with a standard deviation of the differences of 8.73 lbs. Find a 88% confidence level for the average weight gain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 88% confidence level for the average weight gain if between -1.30 lbs and 4.58 lbs.

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 = 23 - 1 = 22

88% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 22 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.88}{2} = 0.94[/tex]. So we have T = 1.6176

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.6176\frac{8.73}{\sqrt{23}} = 2.94[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1.64 - 2.94 = -1.30 lbs

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1.64 + 2.94 = 4.58 lbs

The 88% confidence level for the average weight gain if between -1.30 lbs and 4.58 lbs.

Answer 2

Answer: CANNOT DO

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size is less than 30 and it does not specifically state that it is normally distributed, so you cannot compute the answer.

he perimeter of a triangle is 240 feet. The second side is twice as long as the first side. The third side is 40 feet more than the first side. Find the measure of the first side. *

Answers

Answer:

66 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of the first side

Length of first side: x

Length of second side: 2x

Length of third side: x + 40

x + 2x + x + 40 = 240

3x = 240-40

The normal curve shown represents the sampling distribution of a sample mean for sample size n = 25, selected at random from a population with standard deviation \sigma_xσ x ​ . Which of the following is the best estimate of the standard deviation of the population, \sigma_xσ x ​ ?

Answers

The best estimate of the standard deviation of the population is 75

How to determine the estimate of the standard deviation of the population?

The given parameter is:

Sample size, n

The estimate of the standard deviation of the population is calculated using:

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

This gives

[tex]\sigma_x = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt 25}[/tex]

Evaluate the square root

[tex]\sigma_x = \frac{\sigma}{5}[/tex]

Multiply both sids by 5

[tex]\sigma = 5\sigma_x[/tex]

From the normal curve, we have:

[tex]\sigma_x = 15[/tex] -- the difference between the scores

So,we have:

[tex]\sigma = 5 * 15[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 75[/tex]

Hence, the estimate of the standard deviation of the population is 75

40 PTS ! The length of the rectangle is 2 ft more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 80 square feet. Find the width of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

The length of a rectangle is 2 feet more than it's width. How do you find the dimensions of the rectangle if its area is 63 square feet?

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+2) = 63

x^2 + 2x = 63

x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0

Quadratic formula with numbers plugged in: (-2 +or- sqrt(4 - 4* 1 * -63))/2 becomes

-2 +or- sqrt(256)/2 so (-2 +or- 16)/2 therefore -18/2 or 14/2. Discard negative result.

x = 7. 63/7=9. Sides are 7ft and 9ft.

Answer:

8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The length l = w + 2The area  lw = 80

Substitute l and solve the following for w:

w(w + 2) = 80w² + 2w = 81w² + 2w + 1 = 81(w + 1)² = 9²w + 1 = 9w = 8

The width is 8 ft

Many countries, especially those in Europe, have significant gold holdings. But many of these countries also have massive debts. The following data show the total value of gold holdings in billions of U.S. dollars and the debt as a percentage of the gross domestic product for nine countries (WordPress and Trading Economics websites, February 24, 2012).

Country Gold Value Debt
China 63 17.7
France 146 81.7
Germany 203 83.2
Indonesia 33 69.2
Italy 147 119
Netherlands 36 63.7

Required:
a. Using the entire data set, develop the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the debt of a country given the total value of its gold holdings.
b. Use residual analysis to determine whether any outliers or influential observations are present.

Area of the base = 68 mm²

Height of the pyramid = 3 mm

Therefore, volume of the pyramid = [tex]\frac{1}{3}(68)(3)[/tex]

A hospital directed collects data on birth weight of newborn babies born in the maternity ward the Director find that the birth weights are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 3300 grams and a standard deviation of 525 grams the empirical rule states that in a normal distribution 68% of values are within one standard deviation of the mean 95% of values are within two standard deviation of the mean and 99.7% of values are within three standard deviations of the mean based on empirical rule what percent of newborn babies born in the maternity wing of this hospital can be expected to have birth weight greater than 2250 grams

Answers

Answer:

97.5% of newborn babies born in the maternity wing of this hospital can be expected to have birth weight greater than 2250 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the values are below the mean and 50% are above.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 3300, standard deviation of 525.

What percent of newborn babies born in the maternity wing of this hospital can be expected to have birth weight greater than 2250 grams?

2250 = 3300 - 2*525

2250 is 2 standard deviations below the mean.

Of the 50% of the weights below the mean, 95% are going to be greater than 2250(less than 2 standard deviations of the mean).

Of the 50% of the weights above the mean, 100% are going to be greater than 2250.

So

[tex]p = 0.5*0.95 + 0.5 = 0.975[/tex]

0.975*100% = 97.5%

97.5% of newborn babies born in the maternity wing of this hospital can be expected to have birth weight greater than 2250 grams.

A report from 2015 claims that the average salary of a server is $12 per hour. You collect data from a random sample of 30 servers in Atlanta and calculate the average salary for servers from your sample to be $11.00 with a standard deviation of $2.80. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true average hourly wage of a server is different than the claim of $12.

Answers

Answer:

Since the calculated value z= -1.956 does not lie in the critical region z= ± 1.96  we conclude that  true average hourly wage of a server is not different than the claim of $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternate hypotheses are

H0: u= 12 against the claim Ha: u≠ 12

Taking significance level alpha = 0.05

The critical region is z= ± 1.96 for two tailed test

The sample size = n= 30

The sample mean = 11

Sample standard deviation= 2.80

Applying z- test

Z= x-u/s/√n

z= 11-12/2.8/√30

z= -1/0.5112

z= -1.956

Since the calculated value z= -1.956 does not lie in the critical region z= ± 1.96  we conclude that  true average hourly wage of a server is not different than the claim of $12.
