Among various ethnic groups, the standard deviation of heights is known to be approximately three inches. We wish to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean height of male Swedes. Forty-eight mile Swedes are surveyed. The sample mean is 71 inches. The sample standard deviation is 2.8 inches.

Required:
a. Calculate the error bound.
b. What will happen to the level of confidence obtained if 1,000 male Swedes are surveyed instead of 48? Why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The error bound of the confidence interval is of 0.66.

b) The confidence interval will be narrower.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have to find the margin of error. Considering that we have the standard deviation for the sample, the t-distribution is used.

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

df = 71 - 1 = 70

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 70 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.9944

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

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

For this problem, [tex]s = 2.8, n = 71[/tex]. So

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9944\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{71}} = 0.66[/tex]

The error bound of the confidence interval is of 0.66.

b. What will happen to the level of confidence obtained if 1,000 male Swedes are surveyed instead of 48? Why?

The margin of error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size, so increasing the sample size leads to a smaller margin  of error and a narrower confidence interval.

Answer:

4.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 8x - y = 48

9x + 10y = 142

8(7) - 8 = 48

9(7) + 10(8) = 143

A company that produces DVD drives has a 12% defective rate. Let X represent the number of defectives in a random sample of 55 of their drives.

Required:
a. What is the probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives?
b. What is the probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives?
c. What is the probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives?
d. What is the expected number of defective drives in the sample?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.1287 = 12.87% probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives

b) 0.2092 = 20.92% probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives.

c) 0.6621 = 66.21% probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives.

d) The expected number of defective drives in the sample is 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

For each DVD, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a DVD being defective is independent of any other DVD, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

A company that produces DVD drives has a 12% defective rate.

This means that [tex]p = 0.12[/tex]

Let X represent the number of defectives in a random sample of 55 of their drives.

This means that [tex]n = 55[/tex]

a. What is the probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives?

This is [tex]P(X = 8)[/tex]. So

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

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{8}.(0.88)^{47} = 0.1287[/tex]

0.1287 = 12.87% probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives.

b. What is the probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives?

This is:

[tex]P(X > 8) = 1 - P(X \leq 8)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X \leq 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)[/tex]

Then

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{55,0}.(0.12)^{0}.(0.88)^{55} = 0.0009[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{55,1}.(0.12)^{1}.(0.88)^{54} = 0.0066[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{55,2}.(0.12)^{2}.(0.88)^{53} = 0.0244[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{55,3}.(0.12)^{3}.(0.88)^{52} = 0.0588[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{55,4}.(0.12)^{4}.(0.88)^{51} = 0.1043[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{55,5}.(0.12)^{5}.(0.88)^{50} = 0.1450[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{6}.(0.88)^{49} = 0.1648[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{55,7}.(0.12)^{7}.(0.88)^{48} = 0.1573[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{8}.(0.88)^{47} = 0.1287[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X \leq 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) = 0.0009 + 0.0066 + 0.0244 + 0.0588 + 0.1043 + 0.1450 + 0.1648 + 0.1573 + 0.1287 = 0.7908[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 8) = 1 - P(X \leq 8) = 1 - 0.7908 = 0.2092[/tex]

0.2092 = 20.92% probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives.

c. What is the probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives?

This is:

[tex]P(X < 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]

With the values we found in b.

[tex]P(X < 8) = 0.0009 + 0.0066 + 0.0244 + 0.0588 + 0.1043 + 0.1450 + 0.1648 + 0.1573 = 0.6621[/tex]

0.6621 = 66.21% probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives.

d. What is the expected number of defective drives in the sample?

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

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

In this question:

[tex]E(X) = 55(0.12) = 6.6[/tex]

The expected number of defective drives in the sample is 6.6

Answers

Answer:

51.3432 billion dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total amount spent in billions in pets x years after year, 2000 ;

P(x)=2.1786x + 25.2

Amount spent in 2007 ;

x = 2007 - 2000 = 7 years

Put x = 7 in the equation :

P(7)=2.1786(7) + 25.2 = 40.4502

Amount spent in 2012 :

x = 2012 - 2000 = 12 years

Put x = 12 in the equation :

P(12) = 2.1786(12) + 25.2 = 51.3432

The amount spent in billik dollars on pets in :

2007 = $404502 billion

Answer:

D. 157

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the value of the expression 4(x²+3)-2y is when x=-6 and y=-1/2

Let's first simplify the expression, as that will likely make it easier

Distribute 4 to both x² and 3

4x²+12-2y

That's the expression

Substitute -6 as x into the expression

4(-6)²+12-2y

Raise (-6) to the second power

4*36+12-2y

Multiply 36 by 4

144+12-2y

Add 12 and 144 together

156-2y

Now the expression is 156-2y

But remember that we know that y=-1/2, and we haven't substituted it into the expression yet

Substitute -1/2  as y into the expression

156-2(-1/2)

Multiply

156+2/2

Simplify

156+1

Add

157

Hope this helps!

Answer=30,20 but show me in process.​

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are 18 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\bar x_1 = 14[/tex]     [tex]n_1 = 17[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_2 = 13[/tex]     [tex]n_2 = 15[/tex]

[tex]a - b = 7[/tex] --- the difference of the 2 numbers

Required

Find a and b

We have:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex] -- mean formula

So, we have:

[tex]\bar x_1 = \frac{\sum x_1}{n_1}[/tex]

[tex]14 = \frac{\sum x_1}{17}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]\sum x_1 = 14 * 17[/tex]

[tex]\sum x_1 = 238[/tex]

When the two numbers are removed, we have:

[tex]\bar x_2 = \frac{\sum x_2}{n_2}[/tex]

[tex]13 = \frac{\sum x_2}{15}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]\sum x_2 = 13 * 15[/tex]

[tex]\sum x_2 = 195[/tex]

The two numbers that were removed are:

[tex]a + b = \sum x_1 - \sum x_2[/tex]

[tex]a + b = 238 - 195[/tex]

[tex]a + b = 43[/tex]

Make a the subject

[tex]a= 43 - b[/tex]

We have:

[tex]a - b = 7[/tex]

Substitute [tex]a= 43 - b[/tex]

[tex]43 - b - b = 7[/tex]

[tex]43 - 2b = 7[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]2b = 43 - 7[/tex]

[tex]2b = 36[/tex]

Divide by 2

[tex]b = 18[/tex]

Substitute [tex]b = 18[/tex] in [tex]a= 43 - b[/tex]

[tex]a = 43 - 18[/tex]

[tex]a = 25[/tex]

35 : 5, 7

but LCM(35, 40) = 2×2×2×5×7 = 280

and not 1400.

what is missing ?

1400 / 280 = 5

x : 5, 5, 7

so, x = 5×5×7 = 175
