Construct a​ 95% confidence interval for the population standard deviation sigma of a random sample of 15 crates which have a mean weight of 165.2 pounds and a standard deviation of 12.4 pounds. Round to the nearest thousandth. Assume the population is normally distributed.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a 95% confidence that the sample has a mean between 158.92 pounds and 171.48 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that mean (μ) = 165.2 pounds, standard deviation (σ) = 12.4 pounds, sample size (n) = 15 crates. Confidence (C) = 95% = 0.95

α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

The z score of α/2 corresponds to the z score of 0.475 (0.5 - 0.025) which is 1.96. [tex]z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }=1.96[/tex]

The margin of error (E) is given by:

[tex]E=z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =1.96*\frac{12.4}{\sqrt{15} }= 6.28[/tex]

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 165.2 ± 6.28 = (158.92, 171.48)

The confidence interval is between 158.92 pounds and 171.48 pounds. There is a 95% confidence that the sample has a mean between 158.92 pounds and 171.48 pounds

A triangle with side lengths of 4 , 5 , 6 , what are the measures of it angles to the nearest degree ?

Answers

Answer:

  41°, 56°, 83°

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the largest angle from the law of cosines:

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

  C = arccos((a² +b² -c²)/(2ab))

  C = arccos((4² +5² -6²)/(2(4)(5))) = arccos(5/40) ≈ 82.8192°

Then the second-largest angle can be found the same way:

  B = arccos((4² +6² -5²)/(2·4·6)) = arccos(27/48) ≈ 55.7711°

Of course the third angle is the difference between the sum of these and 180°:

  A = 180° -82.8192° -55.7711° = 41.4096°

Rounded to the nearest degree, ...

  the angles of the triangle are 41°, 56°, 83°.

Today, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 4.8 seconds. The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 4.8 seconds. 61% of the time a person will wait at least how long before the wave crashes in?

Answers

Answer:

61% of the time a person will wait at least 1.872 seconds before the wave crashes in.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}[/tex]

Uniform distribution from 0 to 4.8 seconds.

This means that [tex]a = 0, b = 4.8[/tex]

61% of the time a person will wait at least how long before the wave crashes in?

This is the 100 - 61 = 39% percentile, which is x for which [tex]P(X \leq x) = 0.39[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]0.39 = \frac{x - 0}{4.8 - 0}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4.8*0.39[/tex]

[tex]x = 1.872[/tex]

61% of the time a person will wait at least 1.872 seconds before the wave crashes in.


Using the diagram below, solve the right triangle. Round angle measures to the
nearest degree and segment lengths to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

m∠A = 17 degrees       m∠B = 73 degrees     m∠C = 90 (given)    a =   12 (given)    b =  40           c = 42 (given)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use sin to solve m∠A

sin x = 12/42     Simplify

sin x = 0.2857   Use the negative sin to solve for x

sin^-1 x =  17 degrees

Add together all of the angle measures to solve for m∠B

17 + 90 + x = 180    Add

107 + x = 180

-107        -107

x = 73 degrees

Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for b

12^2 + x^2 = 42^2     Simplify

144 + x^2 = 1764

-144            -144

x^2 = 1620               Take the square root of both sides

x = 40

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population proportion p.

b. 0.458 < p < 0.604
c. 0.461 < p < 0.601
d. 0.459 < p < 0.603

Answers

Answer:

d. 0.459 < p < 0.603

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.531.

[tex]p=X/n=69/130=0.531[/tex]

The standard error of the proportion is:

[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.531*0.469}{130}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001916}=0.044[/tex]

The critical z-value for a 90% confidence interval is z=1.645.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

[tex]MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.645 \cdot 0.044=0.072[/tex]

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

[tex]LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.531-0.072=0.459\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.531+0.072=0.603[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.459, 0.603).

What is the solution to the equation below? Round your answer to two decimal places. 4+4•log2 x=4

Answers

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

[tex]4+4\times \text{log}_2(x)=14[/tex]

By subtracting 4 from both the sides of the equation.

[tex]4\times \text{log}_2(x)=14-4[/tex]

Now divide the equation by 4

[tex]\text{log}_2(x)=\frac{10}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\text{log}_2(x)=2.5[/tex]

[If [tex]\text{log}_ab=x[/tex] , then [tex]b=a^{x}[/tex]]

[tex]x=(2)^{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]x = 5.657[/tex]

x ≈ 5.66

Therefore, Option C will be the correct option.

Suppose that early in an election campaign, a telephone poll of 800 registered voters shows that 460 favor a particular candidate. Just before Election Day, a second poll shows that 520 of 1,000 registered voters now favor that candidate. At the 0.05 significance level, is there sufficient evidence that the candidate's popularity has changed?

Answers

Answer:

Yes. At the 0.05 significance level, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion that support the candidate has significantly changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the proportion that support the candidate has significantly changed.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2\neq 0[/tex]

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1, of size n1=800 has a proportion of p1=0.58.

[tex]p_1=X_1/n_1=460/800=0.58[/tex]

The sample 2, of size n2=1000 has a proportion of p2=0.52.

[tex]p_2=X_2/n_2=520/1000=0.52[/tex]

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.05.

[tex]p_d=p_1-p_2=0.58-0.52=0.05[/tex]

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

[tex]p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{464+520}{800+1000}=\dfrac{980}{1800}=0.54[/tex]

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

[tex]s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.54*0.46}{800}+\dfrac{0.54*0.46}{1000}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.00031+0.000248}=\sqrt{0.000558}=0.02[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

[tex]z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.05-0}{0.02}=\dfrac{0.05}{0.02}=2.33[/tex]

This test is a two-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

[tex]\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(z>2.33)=0.02[/tex]

As the P-value (0.02) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion that support the candidate has significantly changed.

Therefore:

A ship traveled at an average rate of 25 miles per hour going west. It then traveled at an average rate of 19 miles per hour heading north. If the ship traveled a total of 145 miles in 7 hours, how many miles were traveled heading west?

Answers

Answer:

50 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

let's note x the number of miles travelled heading west,

it takes 1 hour to travel 25 miles

so it takes x/25 hours to travel x miles

we know that in total it travels 7 hours so it will travel 7-x/25 hours heading North, then heading North it takes 1 hour to travel 19 miles

so in 7-x/25 hours it travels 19(7-x/25) miles

we can write, as the total distance is 145 miles

[tex]x+19(7-\dfrac{x}{25})=145\\<=> 25x+3325-19x=3625\\<=> 6x=300\\<=> x = 50[/tex]

we can verify

50 miles heading West takes 2 hours

in 5 hours it travels 19*5 = 95 miles

the total is 145 miles

so this is correct
