The Wall Street Journal reported that automobile crashes cost the United States $162 billion annually (2008 data). The average cost per person for crashes in the Tampa, Florida, area was reported to be $1599. Suppose this average cost was based on a sample of 100 persons who had been involved in car crashes and that the population standard deviation is σ=$500. What the sample size would you recommend if the study required a 98% confidence level and a margin of error of $120 or less?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]n=(\frac{2.326(500)}{120})^2 =93.928 \approx 94[/tex]

So the answer for this case would be n=94 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

[tex]\bar X[/tex] represent the sample mean

[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)

[tex]\sigma= 500[/tex] represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =120 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

[tex]n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2[/tex]   (b)

The confidence2 level is 98% or 0.98 then the significance level would be [tex]\alpha=1-0.98=0.02[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2=0.01[/tex], the critical value for this case would be [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=2.326[/tex], replacing into formula (b) we got:

[tex]n=(\frac{2.326(500)}{120})^2 =93.928 \approx 94[/tex]

So the answer for this case would be n=94 rounded up to the nearest integer

a boat operator in a boat can travel 15m/sec in still water he tries to cross a river which is flowing at 5 m/sec south. A) what is the resultant velocity of the boat? B) The takes exactly 55 seconds to cross the river in the resulting velocity, how many meters did the boat travel?

Answers

Answer:

a) 15.8 ms-1

b)869 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to obtain the resultant velocity by the Pythagorean theory;

R^2= V1^2 + V2^2

Where

R= resultant velocity of the boat

V1= velocity of the boat

V2= velocity of the flowing river

Thus;

R= √V1^2 + V2^2

R= √15^2 + 5^2

R= √225 + 25

R= √250

R= 15.8 ms-1

B) from

v= s/t

Where

v= velocity (resultant velocity in this case)

s= distance

t= time (55 secs)

s= vt

s= 15.8×55

s= 869 m

How do you solve this problem? population proportion is to be estimated from a sample of 400 with a sample proportion of 0.1. Approximate the​ 95% confidence interval of the population proportion

Answers

Answer:

(0.0706, 0.1294)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval of a proportion is:

CI = p ± CV × SE

where p is the proportion,

CV is the critical value (z score or t score),

and SE is the standard error.

The sample is large enough to estimate as normal.  For 95% confidence level, CV = z = 1.96.

Standard error for a proportion is:

SE = √(pq/n)

SE = √(0.1 × 0.9 / 400)

SE = 0.015

The confidence interval is:

CI = 0.1 ± (1.96)(0.015)

CI = (0.0706, 0.1294)

Round as needed.

Brian flips a fair coin 3 times. What is the probability of getting exactly 2 tails?

Answers

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible outcomes

TTT TTH THT THH  HHH HHT HTH HTT  = 8 outcomes

There are TTH THT HTT  3 with exactly two tails

P ( exactly 2 tails) = 3/8

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The outcomes you are looking for are either HTT, THT, or TTH.

The possibility to toss tails or heads is 0.5. Thus the possibility to throw T and then H and then H is:

[tex]\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

We have three ways of getting 2 tails, the possibility of throwing exactly two tails in three tosses is:

[tex]\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

0.375 is the probability of getting exactly 2 tails in 3 tosses.

{0 tails}={HHH}

{1 tails}={TTH, THT, HTT}

{2 tails}={HTT, TTH, THT}

{3 tails}={TTT}

There are 3 cases with getting two tails out of 8 possible outcomes.

Your local school board wants to determine the proportion of people who plan on voting for the school levy in the upcoming election. They conduct a random phone poll, where they contact 150 individuals and ask them whether or not they plan on voting for the levy. Of these 150 respondents, 78 people say they plan on voting for the levy. The school board wants to determine whether or not the data supports the idea that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.10 significance level to test this claim.

Answers

Answer:

There is not enough evidence to conclude that the data supports the idea that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size, n = 150

Number of people that plan on voting for the levy, X = 78

Proportion of people that plan on voting for the levy:

[tex]\bar{p} = X/n\\\bar{p} = 78/150\\\bar{p} = 0.52[/tex]

The study is to determine whether or not the data supports the idea that more than 50%(0.5) of people plan on voting for the levy

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

[tex]H_0: p \leq 0.5\\H_a: p > 0.5[/tex]

Calculate the test statistics:

[tex]t_s = \frac{\bar{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } } \\t_s = \frac{0.52-0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{150} } } \\t_s = 0.49[/tex]

For a test statistic [tex]t_s = 0.49[/tex], the p-value = 0.3121

The significance value, [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

Since the p-value(0.3121) is greater than α(0.10), the null hypothesis [tex]H_0[/tex] will be accepted.

This means that there is not enough evidence to conclude that the data supports the idea that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy

Write a sine function that has a midline of 2, an amplitude of 4 and a period of 11.

Answers

Answer:

y = 4 sin(2π/11 x) + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = A sin(2π/T x + B) + C

where A is the amplitude,

T is the period,

B is the phase shift,

and C is the midline.

A = 4, T = 11, and C = 2.  We'll assume B = 0.

y = 4 sin(2π/11 x) + 2

The sine function with the desired characteristics is given by:

[tex]y = 2\sin{\left(\frac{2\pi}{11}\right)} + 2[/tex]

The standard sine function is given by:

[tex]y = A\sin{Bx} + C[/tex]

The amplitude is 2A.The period is [tex]\frac{2\pi}{B}[/tex].The midline is C.

In this problem:

Midline of 2, thus [tex]C = 2[/tex].Amplitude of 4, thus [tex]2A = 4 \rightarrow A = 2[/tex].Period of 11, thus [tex]\frac{2\pi}{B} = 11 \rightarrow B = \frac{2\pi}{11}[/tex]

Then, the equation for the sine function is:

[tex]y = 2\sin{\left(\frac{2\pi}{11}\right)} + 2[/tex]

Answer:

  a. domain: (-∞, -2] ∪ [2, ∞); range: [0, ∞)

  b. domain: (-∞, ∞); range: [2, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, the domain is the set of x-values for which the function is defined. A square root function will be defined where its argument is non-negative.

The range of the function is the set of values it can produce as output. A square root function cannot produce negative values. The minimum value it can produce will depend on the argument.

__

a. The function is defined where ...

  x² -4 ≥ 0

  x² ≥ 4

  |x| ≥ 2 . . . . take the square root

  x ≤ -2 ∪ 2 ≤ x . . . . . the domain of the function

The value of x² -4 can be any non-negative number, so ...

  0 ≤ y < ∞ . . . . . the range of the function

__

b. The function is defined where ...

  x² +4 ≥ 0

True for all values of x.

  -∞ < x < ∞ . . . . . the domain of the function

The value of x² +4 cannot be less than 4, so the function value cannot be less than √4 = 2.

  2 ≤ x < ∞ . . . . . the range of the function

Robin read somewhere that adding salt to water while heating it will raise the temperature of

the water causing it to boil faster. To test this claim, she filled 30 identical pots with one quart

of water. She randomly selected 15 of the pots and added 1 teaspoon of salt. She then placed

each pot on identical burners set to the highest setting. She measured the water temperature

In each pot after 5 minutes.

Is Robin's research method an example of an observational study experiment, or

simulation?

b

with salt compared to those without can she conclude that the salt caused the

difference in temperature?

Answers

Answer:

a. An experiment

b. No

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Robin's research method can be concluded to be an experiment because she has a testable group (pots of water with salt) and a control group (pots of water without salt).

A restaurant serves hot chocolate that has a mean temperature of 175 degrees with a standard deviation of 6.2 degrees. Find the probability that a randomly selected cup of hot chocolate would have a temperature of less than 164 degrees. Would this outcome warrant a replacement cup (meaning that it would be unusual)?Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

3.8% , unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean is 175 degrees (m) and the standard deviation is 6.2 degrees (sd), so we are asked:

P (x <164)

P ((x - m) / sd <(164 -175) /6.2)

P (z <- 1.77)

If we look in the normal distribution table we have to:

P (x <164) = 0.0384

That is, the probability is 3.8%

Unusual is when the probability is less than 5%, that is to say in this case if it can be said that an unusual data.
