To assess the accuracy of a laboratory scale, a reference weight known to weigh exactly 10 grams (g) is weighed repeatedly. The scale readings are Normally distributed with standard deviation sigma = 0.0002 g. The reference weight is weighed 5 times on that scale. The mean result is 10.002} g.
a) Do the 5 weighings give good evidence that the scale is not well calibrated (that is. its mean mu for weighing this weight it not 10 g)?
b) Give a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight on this scale for all possible measurements of the reference weight. What do you conclude about the calibration of this scale?
c) Compare your results in pans (a) and (b). Explain why the confidence interval is more informative than the test result.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.) Yes,

2.) (10.0017518 ; 10.0022482)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Since the average is > mean, then it shows that scale isn't well calibrated.

2.)

Sample mean = 10.002

Standard Error = σ/√n = 0.0002/√5

df = n - 1 = 5 - 1 = 4

Tcritical(0.05, 4) = 2.776

Margin of Error = Tcritical * standard error

Margin of Error = 2.776*0.0002/√5 = 0.0002482

Confidence interval :

Mean ± margin of error

Lower boundary = 10.002 - 0.0002482 = 10.0017518

Upper boundary = 10.002 + 0.0002482 = 10.0022482

(10.0017518 ; 10.0022482)

C.)

Since 10 does not fall within the interval ; then we can agree with our assertion in (1).

Confidence interval gives a range of of all possible values and not just a single point value.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up two equations and solve the system:

270 = 70x + b

- (150 = 30x + b)

 120 = 40x

   3   =  x

Input "x" into one of the equations and solve for "b":

150 = 30x + b

150 = 30(3) + b

150 = 90 + b

60 = b

Equation: y = 3x + 60

This means that there is a flat fee of $60 plus a rate of $3 per student

10. In a survey of 212 people at the local track and field championship, 72% favored the home team
winning
a. Find the margin of error for the survey.
b. Give the 95% confidence interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who
favor the home team winning.

Answers

Answer:

a. The margin of error for the survey is of 0.0308 = 3.08%.

b. The 95% confidence interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who favor the home team winning is (65.96%, 78.04%).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error of the survey is:

[tex]M = \sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

The confidence interval can be written as:

[tex]\pi \pm zM[/tex]

In a survey of 212 people at the local track and field championship, 72% favored the home team winning.

This means that [tex]n = 212, \pi = 0.72[/tex]

a. Find the margin of error for the survey.

[tex]M = \sqrt{\frac{0.72*0.28}{212}} = 0.0308[/tex]

The margin of error for the survey is of 0.0308 = 3.08%.

b. Give the 95% confidence interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who favor the home team winning.

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

Lower bound:

[tex]\pi - zM = 0.72 - 1.96*0.0308 = 0.6596[/tex]

Upper bound:

[tex]\pi + zM = 0.72 + 1.96*0.0308 = 0.7804[/tex]

As percent:

0.6596*100% = 65.96%

0.7804*100% = 78.04%.

The 95% confidence interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who favor the home team winning is (65.96%, 78.04%).

an area that is 21 metre wide and 9 metre long is divided evenly into squares . what the greatest possible side length the squares that the area can be evenly divided into​

Answers

Answer:

47 squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at your question was quite confusing.

So, I'll assume that you're looking for the amount of squares that can fit within the specified area.

To find area: we would do A = L x W

So, our values are 21W and 9L.

Plug it in.

A = 21 x 9

A = 189 square meters

Then, we would find the number of squares that could fit in the area.

A square meter is a square with a side length of 1 meter on each side.

So, 1 x 4 = 4

Divide 189 by 4.

189/4 = 47.25

1/4 is the remainder.

So, our total is 47 squares.

A binomial experiment is given. Determine whether you can use a normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you can, find the mean and standard deviation. If you cannot, explain why. A survey of U.S. adults found that 37% have been to court. You randomly select 30 U.S. adults and ask them whether they have been to court.

Answers

Answer:

Since both [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex], you can use a normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution.

The mean is of 11.1 and the standard deviation is of 2.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Using the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution.

This is possible if:

[tex]np \geq 10, n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex]

A survey of U.S. adults found that 37% have been to court. You randomly select 30 U.S.

This means that [tex]p = 0.37, n = 30[/tex]

Test if it is possible:

[tex]np = 30*0.37 = 11.1[/tex]

[tex]n(1-p) = 30*0.63 = 18.9[/tex]

Since both [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex], you can use a normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution.

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]E(X) = np = 30*0.37 = 11.1[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{30*0.37*0.63} = 2.64[/tex]

The mean is of 11.1 and the standard deviation is of 2.64.

If x varies inversely as v, and x = 35 when v = 3, find x when v = 15

Answers

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

x varies inversely as v.

When v = 3, x = 35.

We need to find x when v = 15

ATQ,

[tex]x=\dfrac{k}{v}[/tex]

Put v = 3, x = 35,

[tex]k=3\times 35\\\\k=105[/tex]

Now put v = 15 and k = 105

[tex]x=\dfrac{105}{15}\\\\x=7[/tex]

So, the required value of x is equal to 7.

A developmental psychologist would like to determine whether infants display any color preferences. A stimulus consisting of four color patches (red, green, blue, and yellow) is projected onto the ceiling above a crib. Infants are placed in the crib, one at a time, and the psychologist records how much time each infant spends looking at each of the four colors. The color that receives the most attention during a 100-second test period is identified as the preferred color for that infant. The preferred colors for a sample of 60 infants are shown in the following table:
Red Green Blue Yellow
20 12 18 10
a. Do the data indicate any significant preferences among the four colors? Test at the .05 level of significance.
b. Write a sentence demonstrating how the outcome of the hypothesis test would appear in a research report.

Answers

Answer:

There is insufficient evidence to suggest that preference exists among the four colors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Xobserved, Xo = 20 __ 12 __ 18 __ 10

Xexpected, Xe = ΣX observed / n = 60 /4 = 15

Test statistic :

χ² = Σ(Xo - Xe)² / Xe

χ² = (20-15)²/15 + (12-15)²/15 + (18-15)²/15 + (10-15)²/15

χ² = 5²/15 + (-3)²/15 + 3²/15 + (-5)²/15

χ² = 4.533

The critical value :

df = n - 1 ; 4 - 1 = 3

χ²critical (0.05, 3) = 7.815

Decison region :

|χ²| < χ²critical ; Fail to reject the null

For this analysis ;

|χ²| < χ²critical ; Fail to reject the Null

Hence, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that preference exists among the four colors

5s + 2p = 100

The total cost of their purchases is 5s + 2p = 100

What is the area of the sector for the following circle? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. *

Answers

Answer:

13.0833 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Radius (r) = 5 ft

Angle sustained by the sector (θ) = 360 – 300

= 60°

Pi (π) = 3.14

Area of sector (A) =?

The area of the sector can be obtained as follow:

A = θ/360 × πr²

A = 60/360 × 3.14 × 5²

A = 1/6 × 3.14 × 25

A = 1/6 × 78.5

A = 78.5/6

A = 13.0833 ft²

Thus, the area of the sector is 13.0833 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of the minor sector will be ,

> 360 - 300 = 60° .

Area of sector :-

> Area = ∅ / 360 × πr²

> A = 60/360 × 3.14 × 5ft²

> A = 13.09 ft²
