A quality-conscious disk manufacturer wishes to know the fraction of disks his company makes which are defective.

a. Suppose a sample of 865 floppy disks is drawn. Of these disks, 112 were defective. Using the data, estimate the proportion of disks which are defective.
b. Suppose a sample of 865 floppy disks is drawn. Of these disks, 112 were defective. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.1295

b) The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective is (0.1071, 0.1519).

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

112 out of 865, so:

[tex]\pi = \frac{112}{865} = 0.1295[/tex]

Question b:

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].

For this problem, we have that:

[tex]n = 865, \pi = 0.1295[/tex]

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].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.1295 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1295*0.8705}{865}} = 0.1071[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.1295 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1295*0.8705}{865}} = 0.1519[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective is (0.1071, 0.1519).

obtain the value of X for which (X+1),(X-5),(X-2) is a geometric progression.hence find the sum of the first 12 terms of the progression.​

Answers

If x + 1, x - 5, and x - 2 are in a geometric progression, then there is some constant r for which

x - 5 = r (x + 1)

==>   r = (x - 5) / (x + 1)

and

x - 2 = r (x - 5)

==>   r = (x - 2) / (x - 5)

Then

(x - 5) / (x + 1) = (x - 2) / (x - 5)

Solve for x :

(x - 5)² = (x - 2) (x + 1)

x ² - 10x + 25 = x ² - x - 2

-9x = -27

x = 3

It follows that the ratio between terms is

r = (3 - 5) / (3 + 1) = -2/4 = -1/2

Now, assuming x + 1 = 4 is the first term of the G.P., the n-th term a(n) is given by

a(n) = 4 (-1/2)ⁿ⁻¹

The sum of the first 12 terms - denoted here by S - is then

S = 4 (-1/2)⁰ + 4 (-1/2)¹ + 4 (-1/2)² + … + 4 (-1/2)¹¹

Solve for S :

S = 4 [(-1/2)⁰ + (-1/2)¹ + (-1/2)² + … + (-1/2)¹¹]

(-1/2) S = 4 [(-1/2)¹ + (-1/2)² + (-1/2)³ + … + (-1/2)¹²]

==>   S - (-1/2) S = 4 [(-1/2)⁰ - (-1/2)¹²]

==>   3/2 S = 4 (1 - 1/4096)

==>   S = 8/3 (1 - 1/4096)

==>   S = 1365/512

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a equation that is where the domain is all real numbers and the range is all real numbers greater than -3

A square root function cannot equal to all real numbers because we cant take the square root of a negative number. so B and C are already wrong.A cubic function range is all real numbers. so y can be greater than -3 but it would also include. values lesser than -3. so D is Wrong.

A is right, the domain of a absolute value function is all real numbers. The range of a absolute value is all numbers greater than or equal to zero but if we subtract 3, it changes into all real numbers greater than or equal to -3

A. 4/5
B. 3/2.4
C. 2.4/3
D. 5/4

Answers

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

If the larger triangle (Preimage) is dilated by a scale factor 'k' to form the image triangle (small triangle),

Scale factor = [tex]\frac{\text{Length of one side of the image triangle}}{\text{Length of one side of the preimage}}[/tex]

                 k = [tex]\frac{3}{2.4}[/tex]

Therefore, Option B will be the correct option.

Yogi is 6 years older than Michelle. The sum of their ages is 26. Write a system of linear equations to represent this information. What are their ages?

Answers

Answer:

10 and 16, x+(x+6)=26

Step-by-step explanation:

Michelle has an age we don't know, so we put her age as x.

Yogi is 6 years older than her, so her age is x+6

Michelle=x

Yogi=x+6

we know both their ages equal 26. so we set it up as

x+(x+6)=26

combining like terms we get

2x+6=26

subtract 6 from both sides

2x=20

divide both sides by 2

x=10

now that we have the value for x, we plug it into their original ages

Michelle is 10, because her age is just x.

Yogi is 16, because her age is x+6

The answers to your questions are given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. m∠1 and m∠2 are complementary. This statement was given from the question.

2. m∠1 + m∠2 = 90°. Complementary angles add up to give 90°.

3. m∠2 = 74°. This was given in the question.

4. m∠1 + 74 = 90°. Since m∠1 and m∠2 are complementary. Their sum will add up to give 90°

5. m∠1 = 16°

We can prove m∠1 = 16° as shown below:

m∠1 + m∠2 = 90° (complementary angles)

m∠2 = 74°

m∠1 + 74 = 90°

Collect like terms

m∠1 = 90 – 74

m∠1 = 16°

Think of a two-digit number. What is the probability that it has different digits?

Answers

Answer:

9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two digit number is 10 and the last is 99. That's a total of 99-10+1 numbers in all. That simplifies to 90. (Just like if we wanted to see how many numbers was 3,4,5, we would do 5-3+1=3 to get the total number.

Anyways, let's consider first how many 2 digjt numbers whose digits are equal. You have 11 22,33,44 55,66,77,88,99 which is 9 numbers total.

So the amount of 2 digits number whose digits differ is 90-9=81.

The probability that a 2 digit number have different digits is 81/90.

This can reduce. Divide top and bottom by 9 giving 9/10.

A function of the form f(x)=ab^x is modified so that the b value remains the same but the a value is increased by 2. How do the domain and range of a new function compare to the domain and range of the original function?

Answers

Answer:

The domain and range remain the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

First, we must determine what increasing a by 2 really does to the exponential function.

In f(x)=ab^x, a represents the initial value (y-intercept) of the function while b represents the common ratio for each consecutive value of f(x).

Increasing a by 2 means moving the y-intercept of the function up by 2. If the original function contained the point (0,x), the new function would contain the point (0,x+2).

The domain remains the same; it is still the set of all real x-values. This is true for any exponential function, regardless of any transformations.

The range remains the same as well; for the original function, it would have been [tex]y\neq 0[/tex]. Because increasing a by 2 does not move the entire function up or down, the range remains the same.

A certain prescription drug diminishes in the system at a rate of 25% per hour. If a person was administered 1450mg of the drug, how much will remain in 4 hours? How many hours will it take for the amount of the drug in their system to be less than 5mg?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

459 mgabout 20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay factor is 1 -25% = 0.75 per hour, so the exponential equation can be written ...

  r(t) = 1450·0.75^t . . . . . milligrams remaining after t hours

__

a) After 4 hours, the amount remaining is ...

  r(4) = 1450·0.75^4 ≈ 458.79 . . . mg

About 459 mg will remain after 4 hours.

__

b) To find the time it takes before the amount remaining is less than 5 mg, we need to solve ...

  r(t) < 5

  1450·0.75^t < 5 . . . . use the function definition

  0.75^t < 5/1450 . . . . divide by 1450

  t·log(0.75) < log(1/290) . . . . . take logarithms (reduce fraction)

  t > log(1/290)/log(0.75) . . . . . divide by the (negative) coefficient of t

  t > 19.708

It will take about 20 hours for the amount of the drug remaining to be less than 5 mg.

12,963.00 (in the US)12,96 (some other places)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the US, a decimal point is represented by a period. This value is interpreted as an integer with no fractional part, so the fractional part is zero:

 12,963.00

__

Some other places, a comma is used to identify the beginning of the decimal fraction. In that form, this number has a fractional part that has 3 as its thousandths digit. The value of 3 is less than 5, so the number is simply truncated at the hundredths place.

  12,96

If the thousandths digit were 5 or greater, then 1 hundredth would be added to the truncated number.

Here are four different ways to rewrite the function f(x) = 16^x, using a different base for each case:

Using base 2:

f(x) = (2^4)^x = 2^(4x)

Using base 3:

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

Using base 10:

f(x) = (10^(log10(16)))^x = 10^(log10(16) * x)

Using base e (natural logarithm):

f(x) = (e^(ln(16)))^x = e^(ln(16) * x)

In these rewritten forms, the exponentiation of the base is expressed as a simpler expression.

This involves the new base, which helps to illustrate the relationship between the original function and the different bases used.

A. the change in wind speed for every 1 kPa increase in air pressure
B. the wind speed of a hurricane with an air pressure of 1000 kPa
C. the wind speed of a hurricane with an air pressure of 0 kPa
D. the change in wind speed for every hour

Answers

Answer:

A. the change in wind speed for every 1 kPa increase in air pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + b;

where y, x are variables, m is the slope (rate of change) of the line and b is the y intercept (value of y when x = 0)

Given the line y=−1.22x+1250 where x is the air pressure in millibars (kPa) and y is the wind speed in knots.

The slope of the line is -1.22. The slope means that there is a decrease in wind speed by 1.22 miles per hour for every increase of 1 kPa in air pressure.
