A courier service company wishes to estimate the proportion of people in various states that will use its services. Suppose the true proportion is 0.050.05. If 212212 are sampled, what is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 0.030.03

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

95.44% probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 0.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

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]

In this question:

[tex]p = 0.05, n = 212, \mu = 0.05, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.05*0.95}{212}} = 0.015[/tex]

What is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 0.03?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.03 + 0.05 = 0.08 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.05 - 0.03 = 0.02. So

X = 0.08

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.08 - 0.05}{0.015}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9772

X = 0.02

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.02 - 0.05}{0.015}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0228

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544

95.44% probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 0.03.

C. y + 3 = f(x-4)
D. y - 4 = f(x + 3)

Answers

Answer:

D.y-4=f(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct translation would be y-4 because the y-coordinate moves down 4 units and f(x+3) because the x-coordinate would move 3 spaces to the right.

Hope this helps!!! PLZ MARK BRAINLIEST!!!

The equation of the translation image of the function is  y - 4 = f(x + 3).

which is the correct answer would be an option (D).

What is a graph?

A graph can be defined as a pictorial representation or a diagram that represents data or values.

Vertical shifting of a graph is done by adding any arbitrary constant to the function in shifting.

For example, If shift up by 1 unit,  add 1 to the function

If shift down by 4 units, subtract 4 from the function

To determine the graph of y (x) is translated as 3 units right and 4 units down.

The x-coordinate will increase by 3 if we move it to the right.

If we shift it downward, it will become negative and read as y - 4.

So y - 4 = f(x + 3)

Therefore, the equation of the translation image of the function is  y - 4 = f(x + 3).

LM=9, NR=16, SR=8. Find the perimeter of △SMP.

HURRY FIRST ANSWER I WILL MARK YOU AS BRAINLILIST PROMISE

Answers

Answer:

perimeter of △SMP = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the triangle △SMP is the sum of al the sides of the triangle.

Perimeter of △SMP = ||MS|| + ||MP|| + ||SP||

Note that the triangle △LRN, △LSM, △MPN and △SRP are all scalene triangles showing that their sides are different.

Given LM=9, NR=16 and SR=8

NR = NP+PR

Since NP = PR

NR = NP+NP

NR =2NP

NP = NR/2 = 16/2

NP = 8

From △LSM,  NP = PR = MS = 8

Also since LM = MN, MN = 9

From △SRP, SR = RP = PS =  9

Also SR = MP = 8

From the equation above, perimeter of △SMP = ||MS|| + ||MP|| + ||SP||

perimeter of △SMP = 8+8+9

perimeter of △SMP = 25

(a) Set up an integral for the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curve about the specified axis.
(b) Use your calculator to evaluate the integral correct to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

12pi(8-pi), or

183.158 to third decimal place

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry is indicated in the attached figure.

A. by integration

We will find the volume of the solid by the method of shells, i.e. we will integrate strips parallel to the axis of rotation to form many thin shells, then integrate to get the sum of all these shells.

For each shell, of thickness dy, we integrate strips of length located at y

L(x) = y(x)

and area

L(x)dy

Each strip is at a distance of (4-y) from

for which the volume of each shell equals

dV = 2*pi*(4-y)*L(x)dy = 2*pi*(4-y)*y(x) dy

The total volume of the solid can be obtained by integrating y from 0 to pi

integral( dV ) from 0 to pi

= integral (2*pi*(4-y)*y(x) dy) for y from 0 to pi

= 12*pi(-sin(y)+y*cos(y)-4*cos(y)) for y from 0 to pi

=12(8-pi)*pi

= 183.158

B. Using Pappus theorem

Pappus theorem simplifies the calculation of volume of revolution by multiplying the area of the rotating region by 2pi times the distance between the centroid and the rotation axis.

Here the area of the figure is A=2*6=12, (2 is the area under the sine curve from 0 to pi), or

A = integral (6sin(x))dx, x from 0 to pi

= 6 cos(x), x from 0 to pi

= 6(1- (-1))

= 12

Distance from centroid to axis of rotation = (4-pi/2)

Volume = 2*pi*A*(4-pi/2) = 2*pi*12*(4-pi/2)

= 12pi(8-pi)

=183.158    as before

The four-member math team at Pecanridge Middle School is chosen from the math club, which has three girls and five boys. How many different teams made up of two girls and two boys could be chosen?

Answers

Answer:

30 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of boys in school (n1) = 5

Number of girls in school (n2) = 3

Total number of team members to be selected = 4

Number of boys required in team(r1) = 2

Number of girls required in team(r2) = 2

How many different teams made up of two girls and two boys could be chosen?

= (2 boys from 5) * (2 girls from 3)

Using combination :

5C2 * 3C2

Recall :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)! r!

5C2 = 5! ÷ (5-2)! 2!

5C2 = 5! ÷ 3!2!

5C2 = (5*4) / 2 * 1 = 10ways

3C2 = 3! ÷ (3-2)! 2!

3C2 = 3! ÷ 1!2!

3C2 = (3) /  1 = 3ways

3C2 = 3/1 = 3ways

10 * 3 = 30 ways

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

40children - 23 (with A, O) = 17left

26 letter in alphabet- ( A, O) = 24 letter left

24 letters left - 14 (not used for 1st letters) = 10

10 letters left to use/ 17 children left

10÷17 = 0.5882352941 x 10 =5.8 or as close to 6 I can get

There are six surnames that start with each letter other than A and O when more than one surname does.

What are permutation and combination?

A permutation is an orderly arrangement of things or numbers. Combinations are a means to choose items or numbers from a collection or set of items without worrying about the items' chronological order.

Given, The surnames of 40 children in a class are arranged in alphabetical order. 16 of the surnames begins with O and 9 of the surname begins with A.

Since, 14, of the letters of the alphabet do not appear as the first letter of a surname

14 of the letters of the alphabet do not appear as the first letter of the surname

∴ the no. of letters that appeared = 26-14 = 12 alphabets

15 surnames begin with 10 letters beside O and A

∴ 6 surnames begin with a letter

Therefore, If more than one surname begins with a letter besides A and O, 6 surnames begin with that letter.

b. Within what interval would you expect the sample mean to fall, with 98 percent probability?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.65 mpg

b) Between 24.99 mpg and 28.01 mpg.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

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, which is also called standard error, [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.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 26.50, \sigma = 3.25, n = 25, s = \frac{3.25}{\sqrt{25}} = 0.65[/tex]

a. What is the standard error of X and the mean from a random sample of 25 fill-ups by one driver?

s = 0.65 mpg

b. Within what interval would you expect the sample mean to fall, with 98 percent probability?

From the: 50 - (98/2) = 1st percentile

To the: 50 + (98/2) = 99th percentile

1st percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.01. So X when Z = -2.327.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]-2.327 = \frac{X - 26.50}{0.65}[/tex]

[tex]X - 26.50 = -2.327*0.65[/tex]

[tex]X = 24.99[/tex]

99th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.99. So X when Z = 2.327.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]2.327 = \frac{X - 26.50}{0.65}[/tex]

[tex]X - 26.50 = 2.327*0.65[/tex]

[tex]X = 28.01[/tex]

Between 24.99 mpg and 28.01 mpg.

Approximate the area under the curve y = x^3 from x = 2 to x = 5 using a Right Endpoint approximation with 6 subdivisions.

Answers

Answer:

182.8125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = x^3

from [2,5] using 6 subdivisions

deltax = (5 - 2)/6 = 3/6 = 0.5

hence the subdivisions are:

[2, 2.5]; [2.5, 3]; [3, 3.5]; [3.5, 4]; [4, 3.5]; [4.5, 5]

hence the right endpoints are:

x1 = 2.5; x2 = 3; x3 = 3.5; x4 =4; x5 = 4.5; x6 = 5

now the area is given by:

A = deltax*[2.5^3 + 3^3 + 3.5^3 + 4^3+ 4.5^3 + 5^3]

A = 0.5*365.625

A = 182.8125

Area using Right Endpoint approximation is 182.8125

The area of the region is an illustration of definite integrals.

The approximation of the area of the region R is 182.8125

[tex]\mathbf{f(4.5) = 4.5^3 = 91.125}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(5) = 5^3 = 125}[/tex]

So, the approximated value of the definite integral is:

[tex]\mathbf{\int\limits^5_2 {f(x)} \, dx \approx \frac{1}{2}(\sum f(x))}[/tex]

This becomes

[tex]\mathbf{\int\limits^5_2 {f(x)} \, dx \approx \frac{1}{2}(15.625 + 27 + 42.875 + 64+91.125 + 125)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\int\limits^5_2 {f(x)} \, dx \approx \frac{1}{2} \times 365.625}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\int\limits^5_2 {f(x)} \, dx \approx 182.8125}[/tex]

Hence, the approximation of the area of the region R is 182.8125

Sean, Angelina, and Sharon went to an office supply store. Sean bought 7 pencils, 8 markers, and 7 erasers. His total was $22.00. Angelina spent $19.50 buying 4 pencils, 8 markers, and 6 erasers. Sharon bought 6 pencils, 4 markers, and 7 erasers for $17.75. What is the cost of each item?

Answers

Answer:

Pencil = $0.25

Marker = $1.00

Eraser = $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P denote pencils, M denote markers and E denote erasers. The quantities of each item and total amounts spent by each person can be modeled into the following linear system:

[tex]7P+8M+7E=22\\4P+8M+6E=19.5\\6P+4M+7E=17.75[/tex]

Solving the linear system:

[tex]7P-4P+8M-8M+7E-6E=22-19.5\\3P+E=2.5\\E=2.5-3P \\\\7P+8M+7E-2*(6P+4M+7E)=22-2*17.75\\-5P-7E=-13.5\\-5P*-7*(2.5-3P)=-13.5\\16P=-13.5+17.5\\P=0.25\\E=2.5-0.25*3\\E=1.75\\7P+8M+7E =22\\7*0.25+8M+7*1.75 =22\\8M=8\\M=1[/tex]

The price of each item is:

Pencil = $0.25

Marker = $1.00

Eraser = $1.75
