An article in The Engineer (Redesign for Suspect Wiring," June 1990) reported the results of an investigation into wiring errors on commercial transport aircraft that may produce faulty information to the flight crew. Such a wiring error may have been responsible for the crash Of a British Midland Airways aircraft in January 1989 by causing the pilot to shut down the wrong engine. Of 1600 randomly selected aircraft, eight were found to have wiring errors that could display incorrect information to the flight crew.

Required:
a. Find a 99% confidence interval on the proportion of aircraft that have such wiring errors. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.
b. Suppose we use the information in this example to provide a preliminary estimate of p. How large a sample would be required to produce an estimate of p that we are 99% confident differs from the true value by at most 0.009?
c. Suppose we did not have a preliminary estimate of p. How large a sample would be required if we wanted to be at least 99% confident that the sample proportion differs from the true proportion by at most 0.009 regardless of the true value of p?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval on the proportion of aircraft that have such wiring errors is (0.0005, 0.0095).

b) A sample of 408 is required.

c) A sample of 20465 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

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].

Of 1600 randomly selected aircraft, eight were found to have wiring errors that could display incorrect information to the flight crew.

This means that [tex]n = 1600, \pi = \frac{8}{1600} = 0.005[/tex]

99% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.575[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.005 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.005*0.995}{1600}} = 0.0005[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.005 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.005*0.995}{1600}} = 0.0095[/tex]

The 99% confidence interval on the proportion of aircraft that have such wiring errors is (0.0005, 0.0095).

b. Suppose we use the information in this example to provide a preliminary estimate of p. How large a sample would be required to produce an estimate of p that we are 99% confident differs from the true value by at most 0.009?

The margin of error is of:

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

A sample of n is required, and n is found for M = 0.009. So

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

[tex]0.009 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.005*0.995}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.009\sqrt{n} = 2.575\sqrt{0.005*0.995}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575\sqrt{0.005*0.995}}{0.009}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575\sqrt{0.005*0.995}}{0.009})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 407.3[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 408 is required.

c. Suppose we did not have a preliminary estimate of p. How large a sample would be required if we wanted to be at least 99% confident that the sample proportion differs from the true proportion by at most 0.009 regardless of the true value of p?

Since we have no estimate, we use [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex]

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

[tex]0.009 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.009\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.5}{0.009}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*0.5}{0.009})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 20464.9[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 20465 is required.

Answers

Answer:

The system of equations has one solution. The two equations are intersecting lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

if you want to use the substitution method, you would have to plug in y for 12x+2 in the second equation.

2(12x+2)=x+4

next, you have to distribute

24x+4=x+4

subtract 24x from each side

4=-23x+4

subtract 4 from each side

0=23x

divide each side by 23

x=0

now, plug in 0 to one equation.

a. Sketch the curve by using the parametric equations to plot points. Indicate with an arrow the direction in which the curve is traced as t increases.
b. Eliminate the parameter to find a Cartesian equation of the curve.

x=1 + 3t, y= 2-t^2

Answers

Answer:

y  =  2 -  ( x - 1)²/9

Step-by-step explanation: See Annex

As the parameter t increases,  the value of x increases and the value of y decreases, we get the figure of the annex ( the arrow in the Annex indicates the way of the curve with t increasing.

b) to eliminate the parameter:

x  =  1  + 3*t    (1)          y  =  2  -  t²  (2)

Then  from equation (1)  t  = ( x  - 1 ) / 3

plugging that value in equation (2)

y  =  2  -  [ (  x  -  1 ) / 3 ]²

y  =  2  - ( x² + 1 - 2*x)/9

9*y  =  18  - x² + 1 - 2*x    or    y  =  2 -  ( x - 1)²/9

What is the standard deviation of the distribution?


A) 1.16

B) 1.08

C) 1.41

D) 2.98

Answers

The answer is B I know this

The standard deviation of the distribution is 1.08.

Option B is the correct answer.

What is a standard deviation?

The standard deviation measures how spread out the data is from the mean, and it is a measure of the average distance of the data points from the mean.

We have,

To find the standard deviation of the distribution, we first need to calculate the expected value (mean) of X.

The expected value of X is:

E(X) = (4)(0.4) + (3)(0.32) + (2)(0.17) + (1)(0.08) + (0)(0.03)

= 1.6 + 0.96 + 0.34 + 0.08 + 0

= 2.98

Next, we need to calculate the variance of X:

Var(X) = (4 - 2.98)²(0.4) + (3 - 2.98)²(0.32)

+ (2 - 2.98)²(0.17) + (1 - 2.98)²(0.08) + (0 - 2.98)²(0.03)

= 0.64(0.4) + 0.0004(0.32) + 0.7921(0.17) + 5.4084(0.08) + 8.6404(0.03)

= 0.256 + 0.000128 + 0.134257 + 0.432672 + 0.259212

= 1.082

The standard deviation of X is the square root of the variance:

So,

SD(X) = √(Var(X))

= √(1.082)

= 1.04 (approximately)

Thus,

The standard deviation of the distribution is 1.08.

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Probability distribution

Answers

Answer:

a) The value of q is 0.2.

b) E(X) = 1.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

The sum of all the probabilities must be 1. So

[tex]0.3 + x + 0.1 + 0.15 + 0.25 = 1[/tex]

[tex]x + 0.8 = 1[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.2[/tex]

The value of q is 0.2.

Question b:

Multiplication of each value of x by its probability. So

[tex]E(X) = 0*0.3 + 1*0.2 + 2*0.1 + 3*0.15 + 4*0.25 = 1.85[/tex]

So the answer is E(X) = 1.85.

the parent cosine function is transformed to create the function m(x) =-2cos(x+π). which graphed function has the same amplitude as function m

Answers

Answer: Graph D

Step-by-step explanation: Got it right on plato

The graph of a function with the same amplitude as m(x) is graph D.

Which graphed function has the same amplitude as m(x)?

The general cosine function is written as:

f(x) = A*cos(kx) + M

Where A is the amplitude, k is the angular frequency, and M is the midline.

In our case:

m(x) = -2*cos(x+π).

The amplitude is -2, which means that the distance between a peak and a trough must be twice the absolute value of the amplitude:

2*|-2| = 4

With this in mind, the only graph that meets this requirement is the graph D.

Easton is deciding between two landscaping companies for his place of business.
Company A charges $25 per hour and a $150 equipment fee. Com piny B charges $35
per hour and a $100 equipment fee. Let A represent the amount Company A would
charge for t hours of landscaping, and let B represent the amount Company B would
charge fort hours of landscaping. Write an equation for each situation, in terms oft,
and determine the number hours, t, that would make the cost of each company the
same.

Answers

Answer:

i. A = $25 t + $150

ii. B = $35 t + $100

iii. Number of hours = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For company A:

A = $25 t + $150

where A is the amount charged and t is the number of hours of landscaping.

For company B:

B = $35 t + $100

where B is the amount charged and t is the number of hours of landscaping.

When the time  is 5 hours, then:

i. A = $25 t + $150

     = $25 (5) + $150

     = $125 + $150

A = $275

ii. B = $35 t + $100

      = $35(5) + $100

      = $175 + $100

B = $275

Therefore, the number of hours that would make the cost of each company to be the same is 5 hours.
