A statistician calculates that 7% of Americans are vegetarians. If the statistician is correct, what is the probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 403 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0182 = 1.82% probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 403 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%.

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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

A statistician calculates that 7% of Americans are vegetarians.

This means that [tex]p = 0.07[/tex]

Sample of 403 Americans

This means that [tex]n = 403[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.07[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.07*0.93}{403}} = 0.0127[/tex]

What is the probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 403 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%?

Proportion below 7 - 3 = 4% or above 7 + 3 = 10%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, which means that we find one of them, and multiply by 2.

Probability the proportion is below 4%

p-value of Z when X = 0.04.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.04 - 0.07}{0.0127}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0091

2*0.0091 = 0.0182

0.0182 = 1.82% probability that the proportion of vegetarians in a sample of 403 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%.

William invested $12,000 in a bank account that pays 9 percent simple interest. His friend invested the same amount at another bank that pays 8 percent interest compounded quarterly. These two functions, where t is time in years, represent the value of the investments: f(t) = 12(1.02)4t g(t) = 12(1.09)t The functions are graphed, and the point of intersection lies between 0.5 and 1.2. Based on the table, approximately how long will it be until both investments have the same value? Value of t f(t) = 12(1.02)4t g(t) = 12(1.09)t 0.5 12.48 6.54 0.6 12.58 7.84 0.7 12.68 9.16 0.8 12.79 10.46 0.9 12.89 11.87 1.0 12.99 13.08 1.1 13.09 14.39 1.2 13.20 15.70 A. 0.9 year B. 1.0 year C. 1.1 years D. 1.2 years

Answers

Answer: B) 1.0 year

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

Explanation:

We have these two functions

f(t) = 12(1.02)^(4t)g(t) = 12(1.09)t

which represent the amounts for his friend and William in that order. Strangely your teacher mentions William first, but then swaps the order when listing the exponential function as the first. This might be slightly confusing.

The table of values is shown below. We have t represent the number of years and t starts at 0.5. It increments by 0.1

The f(t) and g(t) columns represent the outputs for those mentioned values of t. For example, if t = 0.5 years (aka 6 months) then f(t) = 12.48 and that indicates his friend has 12,480 dollars in the account.

I've added a fourth column labeled |f - g| which represents the absolute value of the difference of the f and g columns. If f = g, then f-g = 0. The goal is to see if we get 0 in this column or try to get as close as possible. This occurs when we get 0.09 when t = 1.0

So we don't exactly get f(t) and g(t) perfectly equal, but they get very close when t = 1.0

It turns out that the more accurate solution is roughly t = 0.9925 which is close enough. I used a graphing calculator to find this approximate solution.

It takes about a year for the two accounts to have the same approximate amount of money.

The original price of a set lunch was 30 dollars. It is now sold at a 20%
discount. There is an extra discount of 10% for students. How much
should a student pay to order a set lunch?

Answers

Find out the total discount percentage that students receive.

20% + 10% = 30%

30/100 x 30 = 9 dollars

30 - 9 = 21 dollars (Final answer)
20% of $30 = $6
30 - 6 = $24
10% of $24 = $2.40
24 - 2.40 = $21.60 cost of student lunch

You have to do each percent separate to get the cost.
If you just take 30% off from the original cost of $30 it will be the wrong answer.

Answer:

The standard error of your estimate of the average height in the city is 0.5 inches.

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.

You begin by collecting the heights of a random sample of 196 people from the city.

This means that [tex]n = 196[/tex]

The standard deviation of the heights in your sample is 7 inches.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 7[/tex]

The standard error of your estimate of the average height in the city is

[tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{7}{\sqrt{196}} = 0.5[/tex]

The standard error of your estimate of the average height in the city is 0.5 inches.

A polygraph (lie detector) is an instrument used to determine if an individual is telling the truth. These tests are considered to be 90% reliable. In other words, if an individual lies, there is a 0.90 probability that the test will detect a lie. Let there also be a 0.045 probability that the test erroneously detects a lie even when the individual is actually telling the truth. Consider the null hypothesis, "the individual is telling the truth," to answer the following questions
a. What is the probability of a Type I error? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
b. What is the probability of a Type II error? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

A) P(Type I error) = 0.045

B) P(Type II) error = 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the reliability of the test is 90% reliable.

Also, we are told that the probability that the test erroneously detects a lie even when the individual is actually telling the truth is 0.045.

Thus;

A) To calculate the probability of type I error:

From statistics, in this question we can say that the probability of a type I error is the probability that the test will erroneously detect a lie even though the individual is actually telling the truth. Thus;

Probability of (type I error) = P(rejecting true null) = 0.045

B) For probability of type II error, it is defined as the error where we accept a null hypothesis that is false. We can say that it produces a false negative and the formula is;

P(Type II) error = 1 - reliability

Reliability in the question is 0.90

Thus;

P(Type II) error = 1 - 0.9

P(Type II) error = 0.1

If the claim is true, what is the probability that the mean monitor life would be greater than 83.8 months in a sample of 71 monitors

Answers

Answer:

0.015 = 1.5% probability that the mean monitor life would be greater than 83.8 months in a sample of 71 monitors

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.

Mean life of 82 months with a standard deviation of 7 months.

This means that [tex]\mu = 82, \sigma = 7[/tex]

Sample of 71

This means that [tex]n = 71, s = \frac{7}{\sqrt{71}}[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean monitor life would be greater than 83.8 months?

1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 83.8. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{83.8 - 82}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{71}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.17[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.17[/tex] has a p-value of 0.985.

1 - 0.985 = 0.015

0.015 = 1.5% probability that the mean monitor life would be greater than 83.8 months in a sample of 71 monitors
