Recently many companies have been experimenting with telecommuting, allowing employees to work at home on their computers. Among other things, telecommuting is supposed to reduce the number of sick days taken. Suppose that at one firm, it is known that over the past few years employees have taken a mean of 5.4 sick days. This year, the firm introduces telecommuting. Management chooses a simple random sample of 80 employees to follow in detail, and at the end of the year, these employees average 4.5 sick days with a standard deviation of 2.7 days.
a) Describe the population in the context of this problem
b) Describe the parameter u in the context of this problem.
c) Describe the sample in the context of this problem.
d) Describe the statistic in the context of this problem
e) The firm would like to know if there is evidence that the true mean number of sick days for all employees of the firm has decreased after telecommuting was introduced. State the hypotheses. Use ?-0.10.
f) Check the assumptions. If you don't know if an assumption is satisfied based on the information provided, then state "We must assume
g) Calculate the test statistic
h) Find the p-value.
i) Make a decision.
j) State the conclusion in terms of the problem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A.) Population : All employees at a firm

B.) μ = 5.4

C.) Sample : 80 employees at a firm

D.) Sample mean, x bar = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question :

E.)

H0: μ ≥ 5.4

H1 : μ < 5.4

F.)

If Pvalue < α ; Reject H0

G.)

Test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/sqrt(n))

(4.5 - 5.4) ÷ (2.7/sqrt(80))

-0.9 ÷ 0.3018691

= - 2.98

H.)

Pvalue fro Zscore calculator, α = 0.10 = 0.002882

I.)

Decision :

0.002882 < 0.10

Since, Pvalue < α ; We reject the Null

J.)

We Can conclude that the true mean number of sick days for all employees of the firm has decreased after telecommuting was introduced

6) Supplementary Exercise 5.51

A consumer advocate claims that 80 percent of cable television subscribers are not satisfied with their cable service. In an attempt to justify this claim, a randomly selected sample of cable subscribers will be polled on this issue.

(a)

Suppose that the advocate's claim is true, and suppose that a random sample of five cable subscribers is selected. Assuming independence, use an appropriate formula to compute the probability that four or more subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer of p to 1 decimal place. Round other final answers to 4 decimal places.)

The answer for 6(a) is P( Xâ¥4) = P ( x = 4) + P (x = 5) = 5/4 * 0.84 * 0.21 + 5/5 * 0.85 * 0.20 = 0.737

(b)

Suppose that the advocate's claim is true, and suppose that a random sample of 25 cable subscribers is selected. Assuming independence, find each of the following: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer of p to 1 decimal place. Round other final answers to 4 decimal places.)

1.

The probability that 15 or fewer subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)1 is P(Yâ¤15) = 1 - P( Y > 20) - X20, i = 16 P ( Y = i) = 1- 0.421 - 0.562 = 0.017

2.

The probability that more than 20 subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)2 is

3.

The probability that between 20 and 24 (inclusive) subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)3 is P(20 > Y < 24) = 1 - 0.421 - 0.1867 - 0.1358 - 0.0708 - 0.0236 = 0.1621

4.

The probability that exactly 24 subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)4 is P( Y = 24) = 0.0236

(c)

Suppose that when we survey 25 randomly selected cable television subscribers, we find that 15 are actually not satisfied with their service. Using a probability you found in this exercise as the basis for your answer, do you believe the consumer advocate's claim? Explain. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.7373[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 0.0173[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 0.4207[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.6129[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 24) = 0.0236[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 1.18\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 80\% = 0.8[/tex]

The question illustrates binomial distribution and will be solved using:

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

Solving (a):

Given

[tex]n =5[/tex]

Required

[tex]P(X\ge 4)[/tex]

This is calculated using

[tex]P(X \le 4) = P(x = 4) +P(x=5)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(X \le 4) = ^5C_4 * (0.8)^4*(1 - 0.8)^{5-4} + ^5C_5*0.8^5*(1 - 0.8)^{5-5}[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 5 * (0.8)^4*(0.2)^1 + 1*0.8^5*(0.2)^0[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.4096 + 0.32768[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.73728[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.7373[/tex] --- approximated

Solving (b):

Given

[tex]n =25[/tex]

i)

Required

[tex]P(X\le 15)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(X\le 15) = 1 - P(x>15)[/tex] --- Complement rule

[tex]P(x>15) = P(x=16) + P(x=17) + P(x =18) + P(x = 19) + P(x = 20) + P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x = 23) + P(x = 24) + P(x = 25)[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 15) = {25}^C_{16} * p^{16}*(1-p)^{25-16} +{25}^C_{17} * p^{17}*(1-p)^{25-17} +{25}^C_{18} * p^{18}*(1-p)^{25-18} +{25}^C_{19} * p^{19}*(1-p)^{25-19} +{25}^C_{20} * p^{20}*(1-p)^{25-20} +{25}^C_{21} * p^{21}*(1-p)^{25-21} +{25}^C_{22} * p^{22}*(1-p)^{25-22} +{25}^C_{23} * p^{23}*(1-p)^{25-23} +{25}^C_{24} * p^{24}*(1-p)^{25-24} +{25}^C_{25} * p^{25}*(1-p)^{25-25}[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 15) = 0.98266813045[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(X\le 15) = 1 - P(x>15)[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 1 - 0.98266813045[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 0.01733186955[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 0.0173[/tex]

ii)

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(x>20) = P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x = 23) + P(x = 24) + P(x = 25)[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 12650 * 0.8^{21}*0.2^4 +2300 * 0.8^{22}*0.2^3 +300 * 0.8^{23}*0.2^2 +25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1 +1 * 0.8^{25}*0.2^0[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 0.42067430925[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 0.4207[/tex]

iii)

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24) = P(x = 20) + P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x =23) + P(x = 24)[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 53130 * 0.8^{20}*0.2^5 +12650 * 0.8^{21}*0.2^4 +2300 * 0.8^{22}*0.2^3 +300 * 0.8^{23}*0.2^2 +25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.61291151859[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.6129[/tex]

iv)

[tex]P(x = 24)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(x = 24) = 25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 24) = 0.0236[/tex]

Solving (c):

[tex]P(x = 15)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(x = 15) = {25}^C_{15} * 0.8^{15} * 0.2^{10}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 3268760 * 0.8^{15} * 0.2^{10}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 0.01177694905[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 0.0118[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]P(x = 15) = 1.18\%[/tex]

The calculated probability (1.18%) is way less than the advocate's claim.

Hence, we do not believe the claim.

Find the radius of a sphere whose volume is 12345mm

Answers

Answer:

14.34mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere = 4/3nr³

where

n = 22/7

r = radius

give the volume of the sphere, we can determine the radius

12345 = 4/3 x 22/7 x r³

12345 = 88/21 x r³

divide both sides by 21/88

r³ = 2945.965909

take the cube root of both sides

r = 14.34 mm

find the area of the figure use 3.14

Answers

Answer:

466.08 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is composed of a triangle and a semicircle.

Therefore,

Area of the figure = area of the triangle + area of the semicircle

= ½*b*h + ½*πr²

Where,

b = 24 m

h = 20 m

π = 3.14

r = ½ of 24 m = 12 m

Substitute each value into the equation

Area of the figure = ½*24*20 + ½*3.14*12²

= 240 + 226.08

= 466.08 m²

The SAT and ACT college entrance exams are taken by thousands of students each year. The mathematics portions of each of these exams produce scores that are approximately normally distributed. In recent years, SAT mathematics exam scores have averaged 480 with standard deviation 100. The average and standard deviation for ACT mathematics scores are 18 and 6, respectively. (a) An engineering school sets 560 as the minimum SAT math score for new students. What percentage of students will score below 560 in a typical year

Answers

Answer:

78.814%

Step-by-step explanation:

mean,  = 480 points.

standard deviation, σ = 100 points.

If 560 is the minimum score, x = 560. We want the % of students who will score BELOW that. Use the formula for z-scores: [tex]z = \frac{x-u}{standard deviation}[/tex] to get the z score: (560-480)/(100) = 0.8.

Using a z-score table: the value under 0.8 is 78.814%.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf A \approx 3.3 \ in^2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the central angle in degrees, we should use the following formula for sector area.

[tex]A= \frac {\theta}{360}* \pi r^2[/tex]

The angle is 42 degrees and the radius is 3 inches. Therefore,

[tex]\theta= 42 \\r=3 \ in[/tex]

[tex]A=\frac {42}{360} * \pi (3 \ in)^2[/tex]

Solve the exponent.

(3 in)²= 3 in*3in = 9 in²

[tex]A=\frac {42}{360} * \pi (9 \ in^2)[/tex]

Multiply all three numbers together.

[tex]A= 0.116666666667* 3.14159265359 * 9 \ in^2[/tex]
