A study conducted by Harvard Business School recorded the amount of time CEOs devoted to various activities during the workweek. Meetings were the single largest activity averaging 18 hours per week. Assume that the standard deviation for the time spent in meetings is 5.2 hours. To confirm these results, a random sample of 35 CEOs was selected. This sample averaged 16.8 hours per week in meetings. Which of the following statements is correct?

a. The interval that contains 95% of the sample means is 16.3 and 19.7 hours. Because the sample mean is between these two values, we have support for the results of the CEO study by the Harvard Business School.
b. The interval that contains 95% of the sample means is 17.1 and 18.9 hours. Because the sample mean is not between these two values, we do not have support for the results of the CEO study by the Harvard Business School.
c. The interval that contains 95% of the sample means is 15.7 and 20.3 hours. Because the sample mean is between these two values, we have support for the results of the CEO study by the Harvard Business School.
d. The interval that contains 95% of the sample means is 15.7 and 20.3 hours. Because the sample mean is between these two values, we do not have support for the results of the CEO study by the Harvard Business School

Answer 1

Answer:

a. The interval that contains 95% of the sample means is 16.3 and 19.7 hours. Because the sample mean is between these two values, we have support for the results of the CEO study by the Harvard Business School.

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.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 18, \sigma = 5.2, n = 35, s = \frac{5.2}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.879[/tex]

95% of the sample means:

From the: 50 - (95/2) = 2.5th percentile.

To the: 50 + (95/2) = 97.5th percentile.

2.5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.025. So X when Z = -1.96.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]-1.96 = \frac{X - 18}{0.879}[/tex]

[tex]X - 18 = -1.96*0.879[/tex]

[tex]X = 16.3[/tex]

97.5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.975. So X when Z = 1.96.

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

[tex]1.96 = \frac{X - 18}{0.879}[/tex]

[tex]X - 18 = 1.96*0.879[/tex]

[tex]X = 19.7[/tex]

95% of the sample means are between 16.3 and 19.7 hours. This interval contains the sample mean of 16.8 hours, which supports the study.

So the correct answer is:

a. The interval that contains 95% of the sample means is 16.3 and 19.7 hours. Because the sample mean is between these two values, we have support for the results of the CEO study by the Harvard Business School.

(b) Find the local minimum and maximum values of f. local minimum value local maximum value (c) Find the inflection point. (x, y) = Find the interval on which f is concave up. (Enter your answer using interval notation.) Find the interval on which f is concave down. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)

Answers

Answer: (a) Interval where f is increasing: (0.78,+∞);

Interval where f is decreasing: (0,0.78);

(b) Local minimum: (0.78, - 0.09)

(c) Inflection point: (0.56,-0.06)

Interval concave up: (0.56,+∞)

Interval concave down: (0,0.56)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To determine the interval where function f is increasing or decreasing, first derive the function:

f'(x) = [tex]\frac{d}{dx}[/tex][[tex]x^{4}ln(x)[/tex]]

Using the product rule of derivative, which is: [u(x).v(x)]' = u'(x)v(x) + u(x).v'(x),

you have:

f'(x) = [tex]4x^{3}ln(x) + x_{4}.\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

f'(x) = [tex]4x^{3}ln(x) + x^{3}[/tex]

f'(x) = [tex]x^{3}[4ln(x) + 1][/tex]

Now, find the critical points: f'(x) = 0

[tex]x^{3}[4ln(x) + 1][/tex] = 0

[tex]x^{3} = 0[/tex]

x = 0

and

[tex]4ln(x) + 1 = 0[/tex]

[tex]ln(x) = \frac{-1}{4}[/tex]

x = [tex]e^{\frac{-1}{4} }[/tex]

x = 0.78

To determine the interval where f(x) is positive (increasing) or negative (decreasing), evaluate the function at each interval:

interval                 x-value                      f'(x)                       result

0<x<0.78                 0.5                 f'(0.5) = -0.22            decreasing

x>0.78                       1                         f'(1) = 1                  increasing

With the table, it can be concluded that in the interval (0,0.78) the function is decreasing while in the interval (0.78, +∞), f is increasing.

Note: As it is a natural logarithm function, there are no negative x-values.

(b) A extremum point (maximum or minimum) is found where f is defined and f' changes signs. In this case:

Between 0 and 0.78, the function decreases and at point and it is defined at point 0.78;After 0.78, it increase (has a change of sign) and f is also defined;

Then, x=0.78 is a point of minimum and its y-value is:

f(x) = [tex]x^{4}ln(x)[/tex]

f(0.78) = [tex]0.78^{4}ln(0.78)[/tex]

f(0.78) = - 0.092

The point of minimum is (0.78, - 0.092)

(c) To determine the inflection point (IP), calculate the second derivative of the function and solve for x:

f"(x) = [tex]\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}}[/tex] [[tex]x^{3}[4ln(x) + 1][/tex]]

f"(x) = [tex]3x^{2}[4ln(x) + 1] + 4x^{2}[/tex]

f"(x) = [tex]x^{2}[12ln(x) + 7][/tex]

[tex]x^{2}[12ln(x) + 7][/tex] = 0

[tex]x^{2} = 0\\x = 0[/tex]

and

[tex]12ln(x) + 7 = 0\\ln(x) = \frac{-7}{12} \\x = e^{\frac{-7}{12} }\\x = 0.56[/tex]

Substituing x in the function:

f(x) = [tex]x^{4}ln(x)[/tex]

f(0.56) = [tex]0.56^{4} ln(0.56)[/tex]

f(0.56) = - 0.06

The inflection point will be: (0.56, - 0.06)

In a function, the concave is down when f"(x) < 0 and up when f"(x) > 0, adn knowing that the critical points for that derivative are 0 and 0.56:

f"(x) =  [tex]x^{2}[12ln(x) + 7][/tex]

f"(0.1) = [tex]0.1^{2}[12ln(0.1)+7][/tex]

f"(0.1) = - 0.21, i.e. Concave is DOWN.

f"(0.7) = [tex]0.7^{2}[12ln(0.7)+7][/tex]

f"(0.7) = + 1.33, i.e. Concave is UP.

You are interested in estimating the the mean age of the citizens living in your community. In order to do this, you plan on constructing a confidence interval; however, you are not sure how many citizens should be included in the sample. If you want your sample estimate to be within 5 years of the actual mean with a confidence level of 97% , how many citizens should be included in your sample? Assume that the standard deviation of the ages of all the citizens in this community is 18 years.

Answer:

61.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Standard deviation = 18

Sample estimate = 5

Confidence level = 97%

Required:

Find sample size, n.

Given:

y = x + 1;

y = 2x – 5 ;

_______________________________

2x  – 5 = x + 1  ;  Solve for "x" ;

Subtract "x" ; and Subtract "1" ; from Each Side of the equation:

   2x  – x  – 5  – 1 = x  – x  +  1  –  1 ;

to get:  

   x   –  6  =  0  ;

Now, add "6" to Each Side of the equation;

       to isolate "x" on one side of the equation;

        and to solve for "x" :

    x   –  6   +  6 =  0  +  6  ;

to get:

       x  =  6 .

_______________________________

Now, let us solve for "y" ;  

We are given:  

  y =  x + 1  ;

Substitute our solved value for "x" ; which is:  "6" ; for "x" ; into this given equation; to obtain the value for "y" :

 y =  x + 1 ;

    =  6 + 1 ;

 y =  7 .

_______________________________

Let us check our answers by plugging the values for "x" and "y" ;

("6" ; and "7"; respectively);  into the second given equation; to see if these values for "x" and "y" ; hold true:

  Given:  y = 2x –  5 ;

        →  7 =? 2(6) –  5 ??  ;

        →  7 =? 2(6) –  5 ??  ;        

        →  7 =?  12   –  5 ??  ;

        →  7 =?   7 ?? ;

        →  Yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the vertices of the image and pre-image do not correspond

No, the vertices of the image and pre-image do not correspond, Micaela tried to rotate the square 180° about the origin. Hence, option C is correct.

What is rotation about the origin?

A figure can be rotated by 90 degrees clockwise by rotating each vertex of the figure 90 degrees clockwise about the origin.

Let's take the vertices of a square with points at (+1,+1), (-1,+1), (-1,-1), and (+1,-1), centered at the origin, can be found in the following positions after rotation:

The vertex (+1,+1) would be rotated to the point (-1,-1).The vertex (-1,+1) would be rotated to the point (+1,-1).The vertex (-1,-1) would be rotated to the point (+1,+1).The vertex (+1,-1) would be rotated to the point (-1,+1).

Micaela's rotation must be accurate if it led to the same points. Her rotation is incorrect if the points are different, though.

It is impossible to tell if Micaela's rotation is accurate without more details or a diagram.

Thus, option C is correct.

A nationwide survey of seniors by the University of Michigan reveals that almost 18.0% disapprove of daily pot smoking. If 8 seniors are selected at random, what is the probability that at least 2 disapprove of daily pot smoking.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] P(X\geq 2)=1- P(X<2)= 1-[P(X=0) +P(X=1)][/tex]

And using the probability mass function we can find the individual probabilities:

[tex]P(X=0)=(8C0)(0.18)^0 (1-0.18)^{8-0}=0.2044[/tex]

[tex]P(X=1)=(8C1)(0.18)^1 (1-0.18)^{0-1}=0.3590[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(X\geq 2)=1 -[0.2044 +0.3590]= 0.4366[/tex]

Then the probability that at least 2 disapprove of daily pot smoking is 0.4366

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of seniors who disapprove of daily smoking ", on this case we now that:

[tex]X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.18)[/tex]

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]

And we want to find this probability:

[tex] P(X\geq 2)=1- P(X<2)= 1-[P(X=0) +P(X=1)][/tex]

And using the probability mass function we can find the individual probabilities:

[tex]P(X=0)=(8C0)(0.18)^0 (1-0.18)^{8-0}=0.2044[/tex]

[tex]P(X=1)=(8C1)(0.18)^1 (1-0.18)^{0-1}=0.3590[/tex]

And replacing we got:

The percent defective for parts produced by a manufacturing process is targeted at 4%. The process is monitored daily by taking samples of sizes n = 160 units. Suppose that today’s sample contains 14 defectives. Determine a 88% confidence interval for the proportion defective for the process today. Place your LOWER limit, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the first blank. For example, 0.123 would be a legitimate answer. Place your UPPER limit, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the second blank. For example, 0.345 would be a legitimate entry.

Answers

Answer:

The 88% confidence interval for the proportion of defectives today is (0.053, 0.123)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

For this problem, we have that:

[tex]n = 160, \pi = \frac{14}{160} = 0.088[/tex]

88% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.12[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.12}{2} = 0.94[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.555[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.088 - 1.555\sqrt{\frac{0.088*0.912}{160}} = 0.053[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.088 + 1.555\sqrt{\frac{0.088*0.912}{160}} = 0.123[/tex]

The 88% confidence interval for the proportion of defectives today is (0.053, 0.123)

A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 409 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 42 bag sample had a mean of 404 grams. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 24. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Find the P-value of the test statistic. You may write the P-value as a range using interval notation, or as a decimal value rounded to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{404-409}{\frac{24}{\sqrt{42}}}=-1.35[/tex]  

The p value for this case is given by:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.35)=0.0885[/tex]  

For this case the p value is higher than the significance level given so we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean is significantly less than 409

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

[tex]\bar X=404[/tex] represent the sample mean

[tex]\sigma=24[/tex] represent the population standard deviation

[tex]n=42[/tex] sample size  

[tex]\mu_o =409[/tex] represent the value to verify

[tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to verify if the true mean is less than 409, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 409[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu < 409[/tex]  

The statistic for this case is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info we got:

The p value for this case is given by:

For this case the p value is higher than the significance level given so we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean is significantly less than 409

A financial advisor is analyzing a family's estate plan. The amount of money that the family has invested in different real estate properties is normally distributed with a mean of $225,000 and a standard deviation of $50,000. Use a calculator to find how much money separates the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings.

Answers

Answer:

The amount of money separating the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings is $238,281.57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the amount of money that the family has invested in different real estate properties.

The random variable X follows a Normal distribution with parameters μ = $225,000 and σ = $50,000.

It is provided that the family has invested in n = 10 different real estate properties.

Then the mean and standard deviation of amount of money that the family has invested in these 10 different real estate properties is:

[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu=\$225,000\\\\\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{50000}{\sqrt{10}}=15811.39[/tex]

Now the lowest 80% of the amount invested can be represented as follows:

[tex]P(\bar X<\bar x)=0.80\\\\\Rightarrow P(Z<z)=0.80[/tex]

The value of z is 0.84.

*Use a z-table.

Compute the value of the mean amount invested as follows:

[tex]\bar x=\mu_{\bar x}+z\cdot \sigma_{\bar x}[/tex]

   [tex]=225000+(0.84\times 15811.39)\\\\=225000+13281.5676\\\\=238281.5676\\\\\approx 238281.57[/tex]

Thus, the amount of money separating the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings is $238,281.57.

Suppose the proportion X of surface area in a randomly selected quadrat that is covered by a certain plant has a standard beta distribution with α = 4 and β = 3.(a) Compute E(X) and V(X). (Round your answers to four decimal places.)E(X) = Correct: Your answer is correct.V(X) = Correct: Your answer is correct.(b) Compute P(X ≤ 0.5). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

(a) The value of E (X) is 4/7.

    The value of V (X) is 3/98.

(b) The value of P (X ≤ 0.5) is 0.3438.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the proportion of surface area in a randomly selected quadrant that is covered by a certain plant.

The random variable X follows a standard beta distribution with parameters α = 4 and β = 3.

The probability density function of X is as follows:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{\alpha-1}(1-x)^{\beta-1}}{B(\alpha,\beta)} ; \hspace{.3in}0 \le x \le 1;\ \alpha, \beta > 0[/tex]

Here, B (α, β) is:

[tex]B(\alpha,\beta)=\frac{(\alpha-1)!\cdot\ (\beta-1)!}{((\alpha+\beta)-1)!}[/tex]

            [tex]=\frac{(4-1)!\cdot\ (3-1)!}{((4+3)-1)!}\\\\=\frac{6\times 2}{720}\\\\=\frac{1}{60}[/tex]

So, the pdf of X is:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{4-1}(1-x)^{3-1}}{1/60}=60\cdot\ [x^{3}(1-x)^{2}];\ 0\leq x\leq 1[/tex]

(a)

Compute the value of E (X) as follows:

[tex]E (X)=\frac{\alpha }{\alpha +\beta }[/tex]

         [tex]=\frac{4}{4+3}\\\\=\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

The value of E (X) is 4/7.

Compute the value of V (X) as follows:

[tex]V (X)=\frac{\alpha\ \cdot\ \beta}{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}\ \cdot\ (\alpha+\beta+1)}[/tex]

         [tex]=\frac{4\cdot\ 3}{(4+3)^{2}\cdot\ (4+3+1)}\\\\=\frac{12}{49\times 8}\\\\=\frac{3}{98}[/tex]

The value of V (X) is 3/98.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X ≤ 0.5) as follows:

[tex]P(X\leq 0.50) = \int\limits^{0.50}_{0}{60\cdot\ [x^{3}(1-x)^{2}]} \, dx[/tex]

                    [tex]=60\int\limits^{0.50}_{0}{[x^{3}(1+x^{2}-2x)]} \, dx \\\\=60\int\limits^{0.50}_{0}{[x^{3}+x^{5}-2x^{4}]} \, dx \\\\=60\times [\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^6}{6}-\dfrac{2x^5}{5}]\limits^{0.50}_{0}\\\\=60\times [\dfrac{x^4\left(10x^2-24x+15\right)}{60}]\limits^{0.50}_{0}\\\\=[x^4\left(10x^2-24x+15\right)]\limits^{0.50}_{0}\\\\=0.34375\\\\\approx 0.3438[/tex]

Thus, the value of P (X ≤ 0.5) is 0.3438.

Area of trapezoid 5 inch h=5 inch 15 inch

Answers

Answer:

  50 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that 5 inch and 15 inch are the base dimensions, the area formula tells us the area is ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

  A = (1/2)(5 in +15 in)(5 in) = 50 in²

The area of the trapezoid is 50 square inches.

The length of a rectangle is 9 more than the width. The area is 162 square centimeters. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

Length: 18

Width: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the width as x, hence the length is x+9. As a result, you can create the equation x(x+9) = 162. Solving, you find x = 9.
