The time a student sleeps per night has a distribution with mean 6.3 hours and a standard deviation of 0.6 hours. Find the probability that average sleeping time for a randomly selected sample of 42 students is more than 6.5 hours per night. Answer: (round to 4 decimal places)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0154 = 1.54% probability that average sleeping time for a randomly selected sample of 42 students is more than 6.5 hours per night.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, 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.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 6.3, \sigma = 0.6, n = 42, s = \frac{0.6}{\sqrt{42}} = 0.0926[/tex]

Find the probability that average sleeping time for a randomly selected sample of 42 students is more than 6.5 hours per night.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 6.5.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{6.5 - 6.3}{0.0926}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.16[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.16[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9846

1 - 0.9846 = 0.0154

So

0.0154 = 1.54% probability that average sleeping time for a randomly selected sample of 42 students is more than 6.5 hours per night.

Carpetland salespersons average $8000 per week in sales. Steve Contois, the firm's vice president, proposes a compensation plan with new selling incentives. Steve hopes that the results of a trial selling period will enable him to conclude that the compensation plan increases the average sales per salesperson.a. Develop the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.: - Select your answer -: - Select your answer -b. In this situation, a Type I error would occur if it was concluded that the new compensation plan provides a population mean weekly sales - Select your answer - when in fact it does not.What are the consequences of making this error

Answers

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2> 0[/tex]

where μ1 is the population mean sales with compensation plan, and μ2 is the populatiojn mean sales without compensation plan.

A Type I error is made when a true null hypothesis is rejected. In this case, it would be concluded that the compensation plan increases sales, when in fact it does not (at least, not significantly).

The consequences of this error would be that the compensation plan would have evidence to be implemented in the company when in fact it will not bring the results it is expected to have.

Step-by-step explanation:

This hypothesis test will test the claim that the compensation plan increases the average sales per salesperson. This claim will be stated in the alternative hypothesis, and will state that, with the compensation plan, the sales are significantly higher than without the compensation plan.

The null hypothesis, that Steve wants to falsify, will state that the sales will not differ with or withour compensation plan.

We can write this hypothesis as:

[tex]H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2> 0[/tex]

where μ1 is the population mean sales with compensation plan, and μ2 is the populatiojn mean sales without compensation plan.

A Type I error is made when a true null hypothesis is rejected. In this case, it would be concluded that the compensation plan increases sales, when in fact it does not (at least, not significantly).

The consequences of this error would be that the compensation plan would have evidence to be implemented in the company when in fact it will not bring the results it is expected to have. The sales would be expected to increase due to this implementation, and they will not increase, at least, not for the compensation plan.

Answers

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not given the height of the trapezoid, we can split this into a triangle and a rectangle. We find the area of each and then add them together. In order to do so, we must use Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length so that we can find the area.

a²+b²=c²

a²+4²=8²

a²+16=64

a²=48

a=√48

a=4√3

Now that we know the missing length of the triangle, we can find the area of the triangle and the rectangle.

Triangle

A=1/2bh

A=1/2(4)(4√3)

A=8√3

The 2003 Zagat Restaurant Survey provides food, decor, and service ratings for some of the top restaurants across the United States. For 15 top-ranking restaurants located in Boston, the average price of a dinner, including one drink and tip, was $48.60. You are leaving on a business trip to Boston and will eat dinner at three of these restaurants. Your company will reimburse you for a maximum of $50 per dinner. Business associates familiar with the restaurants have told you that the meal cost at 5 of the restaurants will exceed $50. Suppose that you randomly select three of these restaurants for dinner.

Required:
a. What is the probability that none of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?
b. What is the probability that one of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?
c. What is the probability that two of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?
d. What is the probability that all three of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?

Answers

Answer:

a. P(x=0)=0.2967

b. P(x=1)=0.4444

c. P(x=2)=0.2219

d. P(x=3)=0.0369

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable X: "number of meals that exceed $50" can be modeled as a binomial random variable, with n=3 (the total number of meals) and p=0.333 (the probability that the chosen restaurant charges mor thena $50).

The probabilty p can be calculated dividing the amount of restaurants that are expected to charge more than $50 (5 restaurants)  by the total amount of restaurants from where we can pick (15 restaurants):

[tex]p=\dfrac{5}{15}=0.333[/tex]

Then, we can model the probability that k meals cost more than $50 as:

[tex]P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{3}{k} 0.333^{k} 0.667^{3-k}\\\\\\[/tex]

a. We have to calculate P(x=0)

[tex]P(x=0) = \dbinom{3}{0} p^{0}(1-p)^{3}=1*1*0.2967=0.2967\\\\\\[/tex]

b. We have to calculate P(x=1)

[tex]P(x=1) = \dbinom{3}{1} p^{1}(1-p)^{2}=3*0.333*0.4449=0.4444\\\\\\[/tex]

c. We have to calcualte P(x=2)

[tex]P(x=2) = \dbinom{3}{2} p^{2}(1-p)^{1}=3*0.1109*0.667=0.2219\\\\\\[/tex]

d. We have to calculate P(x=3)

The measurement of the circumference of a circle is found to be 64 centimeters, with a possible error of 0.9 centimeter. (a) Approximate the percent error in computing the area of the circle. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 2.81 Correct: Your answer is correct. % (b) Estimate the maximum allowable percent error in measuring the circumference if the error in computing the area cannot exceed 1%. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answers

Answer:

(a) 2.81%

(b) 0.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information from the statement:

P = 64 + - 0.9

(a) We know that the perimeter is:

P = 2 * pi * r

if we solve for r, we have to:

r = P / 2 * pi

We have that the formula of the area is:

A = pi * r ^ 2

we replace r and we are left with:

A = pi * (P / 2 * pi) ^ 2

A = (P ^ 2) / (4 * pi)

We derive with respect to P, and we are left with:

dA = 2 * P / 4 * pi * dP

We know that P = 64 and dP = 0.9, we replace:

dA = 2 * 64/4 * 3.14 * 0.9

dA = 9.17

The error would come being:

dA / A = 9.17 / (64 ^ 2/4 * 3.14) = 0.02811

In other words, the error would be 2.81%

(b) tell us that dA / A <= 0.01

we replace:

[P * dP / 2 * pi] / [P ^ 2/4 * pi] <= 0.01

solving we have:

2 * dP / P <= 0.01

dP / P <= 0.01 / 2

dP / P <= 0.005

Which means that the answer is 0.5%

We have five samples of data: sample A with 30 successes of 50 cases, sample B with 600 successes of 1000 cases, sample C with 3000 successes of 5000 cases, sample D with 60 successes of 100 cases and sample E with 300 successes of 500 cases. We want to test if the proportion of successes is greater than 0.5. Which sample gives the strongest evidence for the alternative hypothesis?A. AB. BC. CD. DE. E

Answers

Answer:

C. with 3000 successes of 5000 cases sample

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we need to test if the proportion of success is greater than 0.5.

From the given options, we can see that they all have the same proportion which equals to;

Proportion p = 30/50 = 600/1000 = 0.6

p = 0.6

But we can notice that the number of samples in each case is different.

Test statistic z score can be calculated with the formula below;

z = (p^−po)/√{po(1−po)/n}

Where,

z= Test statistics

n = Sample size

po = Null hypothesized value

p^ = Observed proportion

Since all other variables are the same for all the cases except sample size, from the formula for the test statistics we can see that the higher the value of sample size (n) the higher the test statistics (z) and the highest z gives the strongest evidence for the alternative hypothesis. So the option with the highest sample size gives the strongest evidence for the alternative hypothesis.

Therefore, option C with sample size 5000 and proportion 0.6 has the highest sample size. Hence, option C gives the strongest evidence for the alternative hypothesis

Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012. Use a = .01 as the level of significance

Answers

Answer:

The calculated value t = 4.976 > 2.6264 at 0.01 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected

Alternative hypothesis is accepted

The  mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Mean of the population μ = $53,900

Given sample size 'n' = 100

Mean of the sample size x⁻ = 55,144

Sample standard deviation 'S' = 5200

Null hypothesis:H₀: There is no difference between the means

Alternative Hypothesis :H₁: The  mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012

Test statistic

[tex]t = \frac{x^{-} -mean}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{55144-53900}{\frac{5200}{\sqrt{100} } }[/tex]

t = 4.976

Degrees of freedom

ν = n-1 = 100-1 =99

t₀.₀₁ = 2.6264

The calculated value t = 4.976 > 2.6264 at 0.01 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected

Alternative hypothesis is accepted

Final answer:-

The  mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012

Answer:

We conclude that the mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Wall Street Journal reported that bachelor’s degree recipients with majors in business average starting salaries of $53,900 in 2012.

A sample of 100 business majors receiving a bachelor’s degree in 2013 showed a mean starting salary of $55,144 with a sample standard deviation of $5,200.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean starting salary for business majors in 2013.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] $53,900     {means that the mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is smaller than or equal to the mean starting salary in 2012}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] > $53,900     {means that the mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation;

                               T.S. =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean starting salary = $55,144

            s = sample standard deviation = $5,200

            n = sample of business majors = 100

So, the test statistics  =  [tex]\frac{55,144-53,900}{\frac{5,200}{\sqrt{100} } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_9_9[/tex]

                                     =  2.392

The value of t-test statistic is 2.392.

Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives a critical value of 2.369 at 99 degree of freedom for right-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of t as 2.392 > 2.369, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012.

A machine produces a part for the automotive industry. 4% of the parts produced were defective in the past, and we believe that the current percentage is not higher. What is the needed sample size for estimating the current percentage of defective parts with the 90% confidence and the 3% margin of error

Answers

Answer:

[tex]n=\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.64})^2}=114.76[/tex]  

And rounded up we have that n=115

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by [tex]\alpha=1-0.90=0.1[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.05[/tex]. And the critical value would be given by:

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64[/tex]

Solution to the problem

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]    (a)  

The proportion of defectives is estimated as: [tex]\hat p=0.04[/tex]. And on this case we have that the margin of error is [tex]ME =\pm 0.03[/tex] and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

[tex]n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}[/tex]   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

[tex]n=\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.64})^2}=114.76[/tex]  

And rounded up we have that n=115

Answers

Answer:

  A) 10, -3.73, -6.035, -6.259 . . . cm/s

  B) -6.2832 cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

A) For problems like this, where repeated evaluation of a function is required, I find a graphing calculator or spreadsheet to be an appropriate tool. The attached shows that we defined the position function ...

  p(t) = 2sin(πt) +5cos(πt)

and a function for computing the average velocity from t=1. For some time interval ending at t2, the average velocity is ...

  Va(t2) = Δp/Δt = (p(t2) -p(1))/(t2 -1)

Then, for example, for t2 = 2, the average velocity on the interval [1, 2] is ...

  Va(2) = (p(2) -p(1))/(2 -1) = ((2sin(2π) +5cos(2π)) -(2sin(π) +5cos(π)))/(1)

  = (2·0+5·1 -(2·0 +5·(-1)) = 10 . . . . matches the table value for x1 = 2.

Then the average velocity values for the intervals of interest are ...

  1) [1, 2]   Va = 10

  2) [1, 1.1]   Va = -3.73

  3) [1, 1.01]   Va = -6.035

  4) [1, 1.001]   Va = -6.259

__

B) Sometimes a better estimate is obtained when the interval is centered on the point of interest. Here, we can compute the average velocity on the interval [0.999, 1.001] as a better approximation of the instantaneous velocity at t=1. That value is ...

  [0.999, 1.001]   Va = -6.283175*

Our estimate of V(1) is -6.2832 cm/s.

The exact value is -2π ≈ -6.2831853... cm/s

__

* This is the average of the Va(0.999) and Va(1.001) values in the table.

If you spin the spinner 11 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times it will land on pink?

= (1/2) / 3

Simplifying into multiplication,

The fraction of the pizza each person gets = 1/2 x 1/3

The fraction of the pizza each person gets

= 1/(2x3)

= 1/6

Therefore, the model that represents the requirement is 1/6.

Cars enter a car wash at a mean rate of 4 cars per half an hour. What is the probability that, in any hour, exactly 5 cars will enter the car wash? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that, in any hour, exactly 5 cars will enter the car wash is P(x=5)=0.0920.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a Poisson random variable.

The mean rate is the parameter of the Poisson distribution:

[tex]\lambda=4\;\text{cars/half an hour}=8\;\text{cars/hour}[/tex]

The probability that exactly k cars will enter the car wash can be calculated as:

[tex]P(x=k)=8^{k} \cdot e^{-8}/k![/tex]

Then, the probability that exactly 5 cars will enter the car wash is:

[tex]P(5)=8^{5} \cdot e^{-8}/5!=32768*0.0003/120=0.0920\\\\[/tex]

The probability that, in an hour, exactly 5 cars will enter the car wash will be 0.0920.

What is probability?

Probability means possibility. It deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value of probability can only be from 0 to 1.

Its basic meaning is something is likely to happen. It is the ratio of the favorable event to the total number of events.

The mean rate is found as;

[tex]\rm \lambda =4 \ cars / half \ an \ hour = 8 car / hour[/tex]

The probability that exactly k cars will enter the car wash

[tex]P(x=K) = \frac{8^k e^{-8}}{k\!}\\\\P(x=5) = \frac{8^5 e^{-8}}{5\!}\\\\ P(x=5)=0.0920[/tex]

Hence the probability that, in an hour, exactly 5 cars will enter the car wash will be 0.0920.

Blake is going to invest in an account paying an interest rate of 1.5% compounded quarterly. How much would Blake need to invest to the nearest dollar, for the value of the account to reach $910 in 10 years

Answers

Answer:

$783.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Compounded interest rate (quarterly) formula: A = P(1 + r/4)^4t

Simply plug in our known variables and solve:

910 = P(1 + 0.015/4)^4(10)

910 = P(1.00375)^40

910 = 1.16151P

P = 783.464
