A professor wants to estimate the average time it takes his students to finish a computer project. Based on previous evidence, he believes that the standard deviation is approximately 3.6 hours. He would like to be 96% confident that his estimate is within 5 hours of the true population mean. Use RStudio to determine how large of a sample size is required without rounding any interim calculations.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample size of 3 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.96}{2} = 0.02[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.02 = 0.98[/tex], so Z = 2.054.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Based on previous evidence, he believes that the standard deviation is approximately 3.6 hours.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 3.6[/tex]

He would like to be 96% confident that his estimate is within 5 hours of the true population mean. Use RStudio to determine how large of a sample size is required without rounding any interim calculations.

The sample size needed is of n, and n is found when M = 5. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]5 = 2.054\frac{3.6}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]5\sqrt{n} = 2.054*3.6[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.054*3.6}{5}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.054*3.6}{5})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 2.19[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample size of 3 is required.

Answer: 96 cubic feet (choice D)

=======================================================

Explanation:

The triangular face has area of base*height/2 = 8*2/2 = 16/2 = 8 square feet.

Multiply this with the depth of the prism to get 8*12 = 96 cubic feet

----------

For any prism, the volume formula is

V = (area of base)*(depth of prism)

The term "depth" can be replaced with "height" and it's the same idea.

In this problem, we have a triangular prism because the parallel sides are triangles.

What is the first step in using the square root property?

Answers

Answer: Isolate the term that contains the squared variable. Then, take the square root of both sides and solve.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve an equation by using the square root property, you will first isolate the term that contains the squared variable. You can then take the square root of both sides and solve for the variable. Make sure to write the final answer in simplified form.

A cone has a height of 3 feet. The diameter of the base is 8 feet. What is the approximate volume of the cone in feet to the nearest hundreth?

Answers

Answer:

12.56 feet cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of 8= radius of 4

4 x 3.14=12.56

Joey has 2/3 of a gallon of ice cream. He divides the ice cream for his friends so that 1/9 of a gallon is in each bowl. How many bowls will he use?
A. 6
B. 1/6
C. 27
D. 1/9

Answers

Answer:

Joey will use 6 bowls.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to divide to solve.

What is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] ?

When you divide fractions you just multiply by the reciprocal (the fraction flipped.)

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{9}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{9}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{18}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{18}{3}[/tex] = 6

Joey will use 6 bowls.

Answers

Answer:

Option D, 55.45 to 70.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Alpha = 1 – confidence interval  

Alpha = 1 – 0.98 = 0.02

Sample size = n = 8

t (alpha/2) ; (n-1) = t (0.02/2) ; (8-1) = t 0.01, 7 = 2.998

Mean = sum of all frequencies /total number of frequency = 505.6/8 = 63.2

s = 7.309

E = t (0.01;7) * s/sqrt n

Substituting the given values, we get –  

E = 2.998 * 7.309 /sqrt  (8)

E = 7.75  

98% confidence interval  

Mean – E  and Mean + E

63.2 – 7.75 and 63.2 + 7.75

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the volume of the pit = length * width * depth = 9 dm * 6 dm * 7 dm = 378 dm³

Hence to fil the pit, 378 dm³ of sand is needed.

b) Volume of the room = length * width * height = 2.3 m * 0.59 m * 3.74 m = 5.08 m³

The cabinet would occupy 5.08 m³ of space.

c) volume = length * width * height

210 dm³ = 3.5 dm * 6 dm * width

width = 210 dm³ / (3.5 dm * 6 dm) = 10 dm

d) Volume of the room = length * width * height = 15 m * 15 m * 15 m = 3375 m³

The stockroom has a space of 3375 m³

e) volume = length * width * height = 5 dm * 5 dm * 5 dm = 125 dm³

The container has a space of 125 dm³

f) volume = length * width * height = 41 cm * 13 cm * 24 cm = 12792  cm³

The box has a space of 12792  cm³

g) volume of prism = length * width * height

72 m³ = 4 m * 3 m * length

length = 72 m³ / (4 m * 3 m) = 6 m

h) volume = length * width * height = 8 cm * 8 cm * 8 cm = 512 cm³

The figure has a volume of 512 cm³

i) volume = length * width * height = 5 ft * 2 ft * 3 ft = 30 ft³

The cabinet has a space of 30 ft³

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply take the square root of 196.

Hope that this helps!

Answer:

The side length is 14 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a square is A = s^2, where s represents the length of one side.

If A = s^2  =  196m^2, we find the side length by taking the square root of both sides:  

s = √(196 m^2) = 14 m

The side length is 14 m
