The variance in drug weights is critical in the pharmaceutical industry. For a specific drug, with weights measured in grams, a sample of 18 units provided a sample variance of 0.36. a. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population variance for the weight of this drug. Show your work. b. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population standard deviation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.2218 to 0.7057

b) 0.4710 to 0.8401

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

sample = n = 18

sample variance = s² = 0.36

To find:

a) 90% confidence interval estimate of the population variance.

b) 90% confidence interval estimate of the population standard deviation.

a)

Compute degree of freedom

degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17

Compute value of α for a 90% confidence interval  

The confidence level for 90% is:

c = 0.90

So

α = 1 - c = 1 - 0.90 = 0.1

α = 0.1

Now use the table of critical values of the chi-square distribution in order to find critical values. Search for the 17th row of table using df = 17 and find the column corresponding to 1 - α/2 i.e. 0.95 of table for upper tail critical values and column corresponding to α /2 i.e. 0.05 of table for lower tail critical values.

Using the table:

[tex]X^{2}_{0.95}[/tex] = 8.672

[tex]X^{2}_{0.05}[/tex] = 27.587

90% Confidence interval estimate of the population variance

The boundaries of CI are computed using formula:

(n−1) s² / [tex]X^{2}_{\alpha/2}[/tex]  ≤ σ² ≤ (n−1) s² / [tex]X^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}[/tex]

(n−1) s² / [tex]X^{2}_{\alpha/2}[/tex]  = (18-1) 0.36 / 27.587

                       = (17) 0.36 / 27.587

                       =  6.12 / 27.587

(n−1) s² / [tex]X^{2}_{\alpha/2}[/tex]  = 0.2218

(n−1) s² / [tex]X^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}[/tex] = (18-1) 0.36 / 8.672

                          = (17) 0.36 / 8.672

                          =  6.12 / 8.672

                          = 0.7057

This results in inequalities 0.2218 ≤ σ² ≤ 0.7057 for the variance

b)

90% Confidence interval estimate of the population standard deviation

The boundaries of CI are computed using formula:

√(n−1) s² / [tex]X^{2}_{\alpha/2}[/tex]  ≤ σ ≤ √(n−1) s² / [tex]X^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}[/tex]

√(n−1) s² / [tex]X^{2}_{\alpha/2}[/tex]  = √((18-1) 0.36 / 27.587)

                          = √((17) 0.36 / 27.587)

                          =  √(6.12 / 27.587)

                          = √0.2218

                          = 0.4709

                          = 0.4710

√(n−1) s² / [tex]X^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}[/tex] = √((18-1) 0.36 / 8.672)

                            = √((17) 0.36 / 8.672)

                            = √ (6.12 / 8.672)

                            = √0.7057

                            = 0.8401

0.4710 ≤ σ ≤ 0.8401 for the standard deviation.

To solve the equation 3x - 7 = 8, the first step is to add 7 on both sides of the equation.

We can also solve the equation as:

3x - 7 = 8

Adding 7 on both sides.

3x - 7 + 7 = 8 + 7

3x = 15

Dividing 3 on both sides.

A 4-ft-high and 7-ft-wide rectangular plate is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 1 ft below the surface. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft3).

Answers

Total depth of the bottom of the plate is 4 + 1 = 5

Force = limit(5,1) 62.5 *7* x * dx

= 437.5. Lim(5,1) x*dx

= 437.5(x^2/2)^5 , 1

= 437.5 x (5^2/2 - 1/2)

= 437.5 x 12

= 5,250 pounds

The hydrostatic force against one side of the plate will be 5250 pounds.

What is hydrostatic force?

The force exerted by the water of surface is known as hydrostatic force.

A 4-ft-high and 7-ft-wide rectangular plate is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 1 ft below the surface.

Answers

Answer:

-72

Step-by-step explanation:

3*24=72

So he is 72 foot below see level or -72

Martin descended to a depth of 72 feet below sea level.

How to calculate the integer

Ricardo descended to a depth of 24 feet below sea level. His friend Martin descended 3 times as far.

If Ricardo descended to a depth of 24 feet below sea level, and Martin descended three times as far, we can calculate Martin's descent by multiplying Ricardo's depth by 3.

Martin's depth = Ricardo's depth * 3

Martin's depth = 24 feet * 3

Martin's depth = 72 feet

Therefore, Martin descended to a depth of 72 feet below sea level.

p(x)=x3−7x2+19

Answers

Answer:

All possible rational zeros are given by the rational zeros theorem are 1, -1, 19 and -19.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rational zeros theorem indicates that for a polynomial

f (x) = aₙxⁿ + aₙ₋₁xⁿ⁻ + ⋯ + a₂x² + a₁x + a₀

where aₙ, aₙ₋₁, ⋯ a₀ are integers, the rational roots can be determined from of the factors of aₙ and a₀.

Being p divisor of the independent term a₀ and q divisor of the coefficient  principal aₙ, then all rational factors or possible rational roots will take the form of [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex]

In the case of p(x)=x³ -7x² +19, aₙ=1 and a₀=19

So:

Dividers of the independent term (19): p=±1,±19

Divisors of the main coefficient (1): q=±1

Being the possible roots of the polynomial: [tex]\frac{p}{q}=[/tex]±1, ±19

All possible rational zeros are given by the rational zeros theorem are 1, -1, 19 and -19.

Answers

Complete Question:

You are the operations manager for an airline and you are considering a higher fare level for passengers in aisle seats. How many randomly selected air passengers must you​ survey? Assume that you want to be 99% confident that the sample percentage is within 3.5 percentage points of the true population percentage.

Answer:

1,355 air passengers must be surveyed

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the population proportion is not stated in the question, it will be assumed to be 50%. i.e. p = o.5

Error Margin, E = 3.5% = 0.035

Confidence Level, CL = 90% = 0.99

Therefore, Significance Level, [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

At [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], [tex]Z_{crit} = Z_{\alpha/2} = Z_{0.005} = 2.576[/tex]

The number of randomly selected air passengers that must be surveyed:

This is the sample size and is given by the equation:

[tex]n = \frac{(Z_{\alpha/2})^2 p(1-p)}{E^2} \\n = \frac{2.576^2 * 0.5 *(1-0.5)}{0.035^2}\\n = 1354.24\\n = 1355[/tex]

You want to buy a $200000 home. You plan to pay 10% as a down payment, and take out a 30 year loan for the rest. A. How much is the loan amount going to be?

B. What will your monthly payments be if the interest rate 5%?

C. What will your monthly payments be if the interest rate is 6%?

Answers

Answer:

A = 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

200,000 ÷ 10 = 20,000

The loan amount going to be for a home that cost  $200000 home. You plan to pay 10% as a down payment and take out a 30-year loan for the rest is $180000.

What is interest?

When the loan is given to you, then some amount is charged to you for the principal amount and that is called interest.

Given:

The cost of the house, C = $200000,

The time = 30 years,

If the down payment is 10% then the remaining amount,

Down payment  amount, D = 10% of 2000000 = $20000

Remaining amount = C - D

Remaining amount = $200000 -  $20000 = $180000,

Therefore, the loan amount is $180000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the interior angle of a regular polygon, we can find that the exterior angles are (180°-interior°). And the number of sides of the polygon times the exterior angles must equal 360°. So we can write:

(180-160)°•(n)=360°

(20°)•(n)=360°

n=(360/20)°
