A forestry researcher wants to estimate the average height of trees in a forest near Atlanta, Georgia. She takes a random sample of 18 trees from this forest. The researcher found that the average height was 4.8 meters with a standard deviation of 0.55 meters. Assume that the distribution of the heights of these trees is normal. For this sample what is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

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

df = 18 - 1 = 17

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 2.8982

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.

Standard deviation of 0.55 meters.

This means that [tex]s = 0.55[/tex]

What is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval?

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

[tex]M = 2.8982\frac{0.55}{\sqrt{18}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 0.3757[/tex]

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Answer 2

Margin of error is the distance between the mean and the limit of confidence intervals. The margin of error for the given condition is 3.28 approximately.

What is the margin of error for small samples?

Suppose that we have:

Sample size n  < 30

Sample standard deviation = sPopulation standard deviation = [tex]\sigma[/tex]Level of significance = [tex]\alpha[/tex]Degree of freedom = n-1

Then the margin of error(MOE) is obtained as

Case 1: Population standard deviation is known

Margin of Error = [tex]MOE = T_{c}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Case 2: Population standard deviation is unknown

[tex]MOE = T_{c}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

where [tex]T_{c}[/tex] is critical value of the test statistic at level of significance

For the given case, taking the random variable X to be tracking the height of trees in the sample taken of trees from the considered forest.

Then, by the given data, we get:

[tex]\overline{x} = 4.8[/tex], [tex]s = 4.8[/tex], n = 18

The degree of freedom is n-1 = 17

Level of significance = 100% - 99% = 1% = 0.01

The critical value of t at level of significance 0.01 with degree of freedom 17 is obtained as T = 2.90 (from the t critical values table)

Thus, margin of error for 99% confidence interval for considered case is:

[tex]MOE = T_{c}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\MOE = 2.9 \times \dfrac{4.8}{\sqrt{18}} \approx 3.28[/tex]

Thus, the margin of error for the given condition is 3.28 approximately.

Suppose the variable x is represented by a standard normal distribution. What is the probability of x > 0.3 ? Please specify your answer in decimal terms and round your answer to the nearest hundredth (e.g., enter 12 percent as 0.12).

Answers

Answer: 0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the variable x is represented by a standard normal distribution, the probability of x > 0.3 will be calculated thus:

P(x > 0.3)

Then, we will use a standard normal table

P(z > 0.3)

= 1 - p(z < 0.3)

= 1 - 0.62

= 0.38

Therefore, p(x > 0.3) = 0.38

The probability of x > 0.3 is 0.38.

selling price of the painting was $50.5 million more than that of the photograph. Together, the painting and the photograph sold for $17.1 million more than the
sculpture. What was the selling price of each work?

Answers

Answer:

photograph = 55.7mil

painting = 106.2

sculpture = 144.8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price of the photograph be x

price of painting = x+50.5

price of sculpture = x+x+50.5-17.1 =2x+33.4

2x+33.4+x+50.5+x=306.7

4x=222.8

x=55.7

price of painting = 55.7+50.5 = 106.2

price of sculpture = 2(55.7)+33.4=144.8

Price of painting =55.7+50.5=106.2
Price of sculpture =2(55.7)+33.4=144.8

Armando's carpet has an area of 220 square feet. He hires the Carpet Pro carpet cleaning service, which is able to clean 9 square feet of his carpet every minute. Therefore, in the first minute, CarpetPro is able to clean 9 square feet of Armando's carpet (leaving 211 square feet remaining to be cleaned). In the second minute, the cleaner is again able to clean 9 square feet of carpet (leaving 202 square feet to be cleaned), etc. Which of the following functions expresses the number of square feet that still remain to be cleaned after t minutes from the time that the carpet cleaner began cleaning this carpet.
a. A(t) = 220 - 9
b. A(t) = 220 - 0.1
c. A(t) = 220(0.1)
d. A(t) = 220(0.96)
e. A(t) 220 - 0.96

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer needs to be in slope-intercept form or y=mx+b because the amount of carpet being cleaned every minute is a constant decrease of 9 square feet.

So our b value (or how much carpet cleaned at 0 minutes) is 220

And our m value (or slope or how much carpet is being cleaned every minute) is 9

So if we plug the variables with the tangible numbers we get A(t) = -9x+220 or A(t) = 220-9x.

Part C: Write the equation of the line using function notation. (2 points)

Part D: What is the balance in the bank account after 5 days? (2 points)

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The slope is found by

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 1200-1500)/(4-0)

    = -300/4

    =-75

Part B

point slope  y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-1200 = -75(x-4)

slope intercept  y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -75x + 1500

standard form  Ax+By =C

75x + y = 1500

Part C

Change y to g(x) in the slope intercept form

g(x) = -75x + 1500

Part D

Let x = 5

g(5) = -75(5) + 1500

      =-375+1500

      =1125

answer:

step-by-step explanation:
part a:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 = m
(2, 1350) (4, 1200)
(x1, y1) (x2, y2)
1200 - 1350 / 4 - 2 = m
-150 / 2 = m
-75 = m
part b:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1350 = -75(x - 2)
y = mx + b
y = -75x + 1500
ax + by = c
y = -75x + 1500
+75 +75
75y = x + 1500
- x -x
75y - x = 1500
part c:
f(x) = -75x + 1500
part d:
f(5) = -75(5) + 1500
f(5) = -375 + 1500
f(5) = 1125

Based on my reading the critical damping occurs when the discriminant of the quadratic characteristic equation is 0.

So let's see that characteristic equation:

The discriminant can be found by calculating b^2-4aC of ar^2+br+C=0.

a=20

b=c

C=80

c^2-4(20)(80)

We want this to be 0.

c^2-4(20)(80)=0

Simplify:

c^2-6400=0

Add 6400 on both sides:

c^2=6400

Take square root of both sides:

c=80 or c=-80

Based on further reading damping equations in form

a⁢y′⁢′+b⁢y′+C⁢y=0

should have positive coefficients with b also having the possibility of being zero.

Suppose that a category of world-class runners are known to run a marathon in an average of 147 minutes with a standard deviation of 12 minutes. Consider 49 of the races. Find the probability that the runner will average between 146 and 150 minutes in these 49 marathons. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

0.6524 = 65.24% probability that the runner will average between 146 and 150 minutes in these 49 marathons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Average of 147 minutes with a standard deviation of 12 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 147, \sigma = 12[/tex]

Consider 49 of the races.

This means that [tex]n = 49, s = \frac{12}{\sqrt{49}} = \frac{12}{7} = 1.7143[/tex]

Find the probability that the runner will average between 146 and 150 minutes in these 49 marathons.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 150 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 146. So

X = 150

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{150 - 147}{1.7143}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.75[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.75[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9599

X = 146

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{146 - 147}{1.7143}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.583[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.583[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3075.

0.9599 - 0.3075 = 0.6524.

0.6524 = 65.24% probability that the runner will average between 146 and 150 minutes in these 49 marathons.

A bag contains 8 red balls and 3 white balls. Two balls are drawn without replacement. (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) (a) What is the probability that the second ball is white, given that the first ball is red

Answers

Answer:

12/55

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcomes to the number of total outcomes.

Given that the bag contains 8 red balls and 3 white balls, the probability of picking a red ball

p(r) = 8/(8+3) = 8/11

Probability of picking a white ball

= 3/11

when a red ball is picked first, the total number of balls reduces to 10 hence the probability that the second ball is white, given that the first ball is red

=8/11 * 3/10

= 24/110

= 12/55
