Researchers studying the sticky droplets found on spider webs will measure the widths of a random sample of droplets. From the sample, the researchers will construct a 95 percent confidence interval to estimate the mean width of all such droplets. Which of the following statements about a 95 percent confidence interval for the mean width is correct?
A. The interval will be narrower if the researchers increase the level of confidence to 99 percent.
B. The interval will be narrower if the researchers increase the sample size of droplets.
C. The interval will be wider if the researchers decrease the level of confidence to 90 percent.
D. The interval will be wider if the researchers increase the sample size of droplets.
E. The width of the interval will not be affected if the researchers increase or decrease the number of droplets in the sample.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The interval will be narrower if the researchers increase the sample size of droplets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error of a confidence interval:

The higher the margin of error, the wider an interval is.

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which z is related to the confidence level(the higher the confidence level, the higher z), [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

From this, we conclude that:

If we increase the confidence level, the interval will be wider.

If we increase the sample size, the interval will be narrower.

Which of the following statements about a 95 percent confidence interval for the mean width is correct?

Increasing the sample size leads to a narrower interval, so the correct answer is given by option B.

Find the indicated probabilities.

B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?
C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?
Then use the fact that P(r1) = 1 P(r = 0).
D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

b) 0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

c) 0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

d) 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he answers it correctly, or he does not. The probability of answering a question correctly is independent of any other question. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct

This means that the probability of correctly answering a question guessing is [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]

10 questions.

This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]

A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?

This is [tex]P(X = 10)[/tex]

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

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.0000001024[/tex]

0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?

None correctly, so [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074[/tex]

0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?

This is

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

Since [tex]P(X = 0) = 0.1074[/tex], from item b.

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.1074 = 0.8926[/tex]

0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?

This is

[tex]P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)[/tex]

In which

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

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0264[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0055[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.0008[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.0001[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} \approx 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0264 + 0.0055 + 0.0008 + 0.0001 + 0 + 0 = 0.0328[/tex]

0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly

Suppose that a committee is studying whether there is waste of time in our judicial system. It is interested in the mean amount of time individuals waste at the courthouse waiting to be called for jury duty. The committee randomly surveyed 81 people who recently served as jurors. The sample mean wait time was eight hours with a sample standard deviation of four hours. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted. Which distribution should you use for this problem

Answers

Answer:

The t-distribution is used, as we have the standard deviation of the sample.

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted is between 7.12 hours and 8.88 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which meas that the t-distribution should be used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 81 - 1 = 80

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 80 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.99

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.99\frac{4}{\sqrt{81}} = 0.88[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 8 - 0.88 = 7.12 hours.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 8 + 0.88 = 8.88 hours.

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted is between 7.12 hours and 8.88 hours.

According to question,

T = 2 x pi x root(L/32)

9.42 = 2 x 3.14 x root(L/32)

9.42 = 6.28 × root (L/32)

9.42/6.28 = root(L/32)

1.5 = root(L/32)

Squaring both sides,

2.25 = L/32

L = 2.25 x 32

L = 72

Answer:

L=72

Step-by-step explanation:

T=2pi[tex]\sqrt{L/32\\}[/tex]

9.42 = (2 x 3.14)[tex]\sqrt{L/32}[/tex]

1.5=[tex]\sqrt{L/32}[/tex]

In a certain tropical forest, litter (mainly dead vegetation such as leaves and vines) forms on the ground at the rate of 10 grams per square centimeter per year. At the same time, however, the litter is decomposing at the rate of 80% per year. Let f(t) be the amount of litter (in grams per square centimeter) present at time t. Find a differential equation satisfied by f(t).

Answers

Answer:

df(t)/dt = 10 - 0.8f(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The net rate of change, df(t)/dt = rate in - rate out

The rate in = rate litter forms on ground = 10 g/cm²/yr

Since f(t) is the amount of litter present at time, t, in g/cm² the rate out = rate of decomposition = the percentage rate × f(t) = 80% per year × f(t) = 0.8f(t) g/cm²/yr

Since df(t)/dt = rate in - rate out

df(t)/dt = 10 - 0.8f(t)

So the desired differential equation is

df(t)/dt = 10 - 0.8f(t)

g The average midterm score of students in a certain course is 70 points. From the past experience it is known that the midterm scores in this course are Normally distributed. If 29 students are randomly selected and the standard deviation of their scores is found to be 13.15 points, find the probability that the average midterm score of these students is at most 75 points. (Round your final answer to 3 places after the decimal point).

Answers

Answer:

0.98 = 98% probability that the average midterm score of these students is at most 75 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, 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.

The average midterm score of students in a certain course is 70 points.

This means that [tex]\mu = 70[/tex]

29 students are randomly selected and the standard deviation of their scores is found to be 13.15 points.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 13.15, n = 29, s = \frac{13.15}{\sqrt{29}} = 2.44[/tex]

Find the probability that the average midterm score of these students is at most 75 points.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 75. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{75 - 70}{2.44}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.05[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.05[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.98.

0.98 = 98% probability that the average midterm score of these students is at most 75 points.
