A certain university has 25,000 registered students. To estimate the percentage who are living at home, a simple random sample of 400 students is drawn. It turns out that 317 of them are living at home. Now, 317 out of 400 is (about) 79%. Indicate whether each quantity is actual or estimated from the data. You'll get partial credit for

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Indication of Actual Quantity and Estimated Quantity

Actual Quantity:

Registered students in the university = 25,000

Sample of students = 400

Students living at home = 317

Estimated Quantity:

317 out of 400 students

79%

Step-by-step explanation:

An actual quantity does not require to be estimated.  It is usually given in the question or scenario.  For example, the number of registered students in the university is an actual quantity.  The percentage of students who live at home from the simple random sample of 400 is an estimated quantity.

Determine the percentage of all samples of three men that have mean brain weights within 0.1 kg of the population mean brain weight of kg. Interpret your answer in terms of sampling error

Answers

Answer:

The result indicates that the percentage of all samples of three men that have mean brain weights within (1.24 * sampling error) of the mean is 78.50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

According to one study, brain weights of men are normally distributed with mean = 1.20 kg and a standard deviation = 0.14 kg.

Determine the percentage of all samples of three men that have mean brain weights within 0.1 kg of the population mean brain weight of 1.20 kg. Interpret your answer in terms of sampling error.

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

Based on the Central limit theorem, it possible to say that the mean of sampling distribution (μₓ) is approximately equal to the population mean (μ) as follows:

μₓ = μ = 1.20 kg …………………………. (1)

Also, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution can be written as follows:

σₓ = (σ/√N) ……………………….. (2)

Where:

σ = population standard deviation = 0.14 kg

N = Sample size = 3

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

σₓ = 0.14 / √3 = 0.0808

Since we are to determine the percentage of all samples of three men that have mean brain weights within 0.1 kg of the population mean brain weight of 1.20 kg, this implies that we have:

P(1.10 ≤ x ≤ 1.30)

Therefore, 1.10 and 1.30 have to be first normalized or standardized as follows:

For 1.10 kg

z = (x - μₓ) / σₓ = (1.10 - 1.20) / 0.0808 = -1.24

For 1.30 kg

z = (x - μₓ)/σₓ = (1.30 - 1.20) / 0.0808 = 1.24

The required probability can be determined when P(1.10 ≤ x ≤ 1.30) = P(-1.24 ≤ z ≤ 1.24).

From the normal distribution table, the following can be obtained for these probabilities:

P(1.10 ≤ x ≤ 1.30) = P(-1.24 ≤ z ≤ 1.24) = P(z ≤ 1.24) - P(z ≤ -1.24) = 0.89251 - 0.10749 = 0.7850, or 78.50%

Therefore, the sampling error is equal to 0.0808 which is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

In terms of the sampling error, the result indicates that the percentage of all samples of three men that have mean brain weights within (1.24 * sampling error) of the mean is 78.50%.

The difference of course is the symbol between the f and g letters.

The circle [tex]\circ[/tex] notation means we're doing a function composition.

Writing [tex](f \circ g)(x)[/tex] is the same as saying [tex]f(g(x))[/tex] where g is the inner function.

Here's an example

f(x) = x^2

g(x) = 3x

f( g(x) ) = ( g(x) )^2 ... note how x is replaced with g(x)

f( g(x) ) = ( 3x )^2

f( g(x) ) = 9x^2

-------------------

On the other hand, the dot notation means we multiply the f(x) and g(x) functions.

Going back to the previous example, we could say

[tex]f(x) = x^2\\\\g(x) = 3x\\\\(f \cdot g)(x) = f(x)*g(x)\\\\(f \cdot g)(x) = x^2*3x\\\\(f \cdot g)(x) = 3x^3\\\\[/tex]

Find the minimum and maximum value of the function on the given interval by comparing values at the critical points and endpoints.

y= √1+x^2 −2x, [0, 1]

Answers

Answer:

maximum: y = 1

minimum: y = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the function:

y = f(x) =  √(1 + x^2 - 2x)

we want to find the minimum and maximum in the segment [0, 1]

First, we evaluate in the endpoints, which are 0 and 1.

f(0)  =√(1 + 0^2 - 2*0) = 1

f(1) = √(1 + 1^2 - 2*1) = 0

Now let's look at the critical points (the zeros of the first derivate)

To derivate our function, we can use the chain rule:

f(x) = h(g(x))

then

f'(x) = h'(g(x))*g(x)

Here we can define:

h(x) = √x

g(x) = 1 + x^2 - 2x

Then:

f(x) = h(g(x))

f'(x)  =  1/2*( 1 + x^2 - 2x)*(2x - 2)

f'(x) = (1 + x^2 - 2x)*(x - 1)

f'(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + x - 1

this function does not have any zero in the segment [0, 1] (you can look it in the image below)

Thus, the function does not have critical points in the segment.

Then the maximum and minimum are given by the endpoints.

The maximum is 1 (when x = 0)

the minimum is 0 (when x = 1)

Assume that the Poisson distribution applies to the number of births at a particular hospital during a randomly selected day. Assume that the mean number of births per day at this hospital is 13.4224. Find the probability that in a day, there will be at least 1 birth.

Answers

Answer:

0.9999985  = 99.99985% probability that in a day, there will be at least 1 birth.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

Assume that the mean number of births per day at this hospital is 13.4224.

This means that [tex]\mu = 13.4224[/tex]

Find the probability that in a day, there will be at least 1 birth.

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-13.4224}*13.4224^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0000015[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0000015 = 0.9999985 [/tex]

0.9999985  = 99.99985% probability that in a day, there will be at least 1 birth.

Identify the two types of incorrect decisions in a hypothesis test. For each incorrect​ decision, what symbol is used to represent the probability of making that type of​ error?

Answers

Answer:

Type I error and Type II error

Explanation:

Type I and Type II errors are statistical errors made in hypothesis testing where an accepted hypothesis is actually the false hypothesis and the other true.

Type I error occurs when the chosen hypothesis is the alternative hypothesis which is false since the null hypothesis is true. We reject the null hypothesis which is actually true.

Type II error occurs when we accept or fail to reject the null hypothesis which is false and reject the alternative hypothesis which is true.

The probability of making a Type I error is represented by your alpha level (α)(we reject when below p-value)

The probability of a type-II error is represented by β which is beta.

• Use a TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 calculator, and round your answer to two decimal places,

Answers

Answer:

$836.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Average price = mean = $965

Standard deviation, = $100

Given that distribution is approximately normal ;

The least expensive 10% of the laptops :

We Obtain the Zscore that corresponds to P(Z ≤ 0.1) ; this means the least 10% of the laptops ;

From, a normal probability distribution table ;

P(Z ≤ 0.1) = - 1.282

We substitute this into the Zscore formula :

Zscore = (x - mean ) / standard deviation

x = price

-1.282 = (x - 965) / 100

-128.2 = (x - 965)

x = - 128.2 + 965

x = $836.8

Hence, price is $836.8

if one half of a number is 5 more than 6, what is the value when the number is tripled

Answers

Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

let's use x to represent the unknown number

1/2x is 5 more than 6:

1/2x=5+6

solve to find x

1/2x=11

x=22

next, it asks us what is the value of the number when the number is tripled

since we already found what x is equal to, we can multiply that by 3 to figure out its value when it's tripled

3(22)=66

Using mathematical equation to model the scenario, the value of the number when tripled is 66

Let the number = n

0.5n = 5 + 6

0.5n = 11

Divide both sides by 0.5

n = 22

When n is tripled :

n = 22 × 3

n = 66

Hence, the value of the number when tripled is 66

D. A = 40.4 , B = 49.6 , c = 9.2

Answers

Answer:

C. A = 40.4 , B = 49.6 , c = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to get the c using the pythagoras theorem;

c² = a²+b²

c² = 14.9²+17.5²

c²  = 222.01 + 306.25

c² = 528.26

c = 22.98

c ≈ 23

Using the sin rule;

a/Sin<A  = c/sin<C

14.9/sin<A = 23/sin90

14.9/sin<A = 23

sin<A = 14.9/23

sin <A = 0.6478

<A = arcsin(0.6478)

<A = 40.4degrees

Also, <A + <B + <C = 180

40.4 + <B + 90 = 180

<B = 180 - 130.4

<B = 49.6degrees
