An automobile manufacturer sold 30,000 new cars, one to each of 30,000 customers, in a certain year. The manufacturer was interested in investigating the proportion of the new cars that experienced a mechanical problem within the first 5,000 miles driven. a) A list of the names and addresses of all customers who bought the new cars is available. Each customer from a simple random sample of 1,000 customers who bought one of the new cars was asked whether they experienced any mechanical problems within the first 5,000 miles driven. 400 customers from the sample reported a problem. Of the 400 customers who reported a problem, 140 customers, or 32.5%, reported a problem specifically with the power door locks. Explain why 0.35 should not be used to estimate the population proportion of the 30,000 new cars sold that experienced a problem with the power door locks within the first 5,000 miles driven.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The reason that 0.35 should not be used to estimate the population proportion of the 30,000 new cars sold that experienced a problem with the power door locks within the first 5,000 miles driven is that 0.35 does not represent the sample proportion.

The correct sample proportion is 0.14 (140/1,000) and not 0.35 (140/400).  It is this that can be used to estimate the population proportion and not 0.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

New cars sold by the automobile manufacturer = 30,000

Number of customers that the 30,000 new cars were sold to = 30,000

Simple random sample = 1,000 customers

Number of customers from the SRS that reported a problem = 400

This is equal to 40% of the sample (400/1,000 * 100)

Proportion of customers who reported a problem (specifically) with the power door locks = 140/400 = 0.35

Proportion of customers out of the sample that reported specifically a problem with the power door locks = 140/1000 = 0.14.

f(2) = 14

Answer:

  a) 102.4

  b) 72.6

  c) 87.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The average value of a function over an interval is the integral of that function over the interval, divided by the width of the interval.

(a) The summer average is ...

  [tex]\text{summer average}=\displaystyle\dfrac{1}{(\frac{1}{4})}\int_\frac{1}{2}^\frac{3}{4}{T(x)}}\,dx=87.5+23.4\cdot\dfrac{2}{\pi}\approx 102.4[/tex]

__

(b) The winter average is similar:

  [tex]\text{winter average}=87.5-23.4\cdot\dfrac{2}{\pi}\approx 72.6[/tex]

__

(c) The annual average is the value added to the cosine function: 87.5

_____

Additional comment

The integral of the cosine function over the period of interest is ...

  ∫cos(2πx)dx = 1/(2π)sin(2πx)

For the limits x=1/2 and x=3/4, this becomes 1/(2π)(-1 -0) = -1/(2π).

When multiplied by -23.4(1/(1/4)), we get +23.4(2/π).

A certain forest covers an area of 2100 km^2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 5.25%. What will the area be after 6 years

Answers

Answer:

The area after 6 years is [tex]1519.49km^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = 2100[/tex] --- Initial Value

[tex]r = 5.25\%[/tex] --- Rate

Required

Determine the area after 6 years

Because the area reduces,, the following formula will be used to solve the question.

[tex]y = a*(1 - r)^t[/tex]

Here

[tex]t = 6[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = 2100*(1 - 5.25\%)^6[/tex]

Convert percentage to decimal

[tex]y = 2100*(1 - 0.0525)^6[/tex]

[tex]y = 2100*(0.9475)^6[/tex]

[tex]y = 1519.47866516[/tex]

[tex]y = 1519.49[/tex] -- approximated

The area after 6 years is [tex]1519.49km^2[/tex]

Pythagorean triples may also help us to find the missing side of a right triangle faster.

How many gallons of a 70% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 90 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 60% antifreeze

Answers

Answer:

67 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many gallons of a 70% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 90 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 60% antifreeze, the following calculation must be performed:

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 10 = 20.5 / 100 = 0.20

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 30 = 34.5 / 100 = 0.34

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 60 = 55.5 / 100 = 0.55

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 67 = 60.4 / 100 = 0.60

Thus, 67 gallons of 70% antifreeze solution will be needed to achieve a 60% mix of that solution.
