A telephone exchange operator assumes that 9% of the phone calls are wrong numbers. If the operator is correct, what is the probability that the proportion of wrong numbers in a sample of 448 phone calls would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0264 = 2.64% probability that the proportion of wrong numbers in a sample of 448 phone calls 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 telephone exchange operator assumes that 9% of the phone calls are wrong numbers.

This means that [tex]p = 0.09[/tex]

Sample of 448

This means that [tex]n = 448[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.09[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.09*0.91}{448}} = 0.0135[/tex]

What is the probability that the proportion of wrong numbers in a sample of 448 phone calls would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%?

More than 9% + 3% = 12 or less than 9% - 3% = 6%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are the same, so we find one of them and multiply by 2.

Probability it is less than 6%

P-value of Z when X = 0.06. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.06 - 0.09}{0.0135}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.22[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.22[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0132

2*0.0132 = 0.0264

0.0264 = 2.64% probability that the proportion of wrong numbers in a sample of 448 phone calls would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%

A pediatrician claims that the standard deviation of the weights of one-year-old girls is less than pounds. Do the data provide convincing evidence that the pediatrician's claim is true

Answers

Answer:

Paedtricians claim isn't true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis :

H0 : σ = 7

H0 : σ > 7

The test statistic ; χ² :

χ² = [(n - 1) * s²] ÷ σ²

n = 25 ; s = 4.3, σ = 7

χ² = [(25 - 1) * 4.3²] ÷ 7²

χ² = [(24 * 4.3²] ÷ 49

χ² = 443.76 / 49

χ² = 9.056

At α = 0.01 ; critical value = 42.980

Since critical value > test statistic, we fail to reject the null, H0.

Answer:

  (b)  It means that the results that Tessa obtained are too unusual to be explained by chance alone

Step-by-step explanation:

The test for statistical significance is a comparison of the result to the probability that it occurred by chance. The probability of a chance occurrence is usually set at 1% or 5%. The lower the percentage, the less likely a chance occurrence is, and the more difficult showing statistical significance becomes.

Answers

Answer:

Q1 = 32.5

Q3 = 50

D2 = 29

D8 = 52

67th percentile = 46.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ordered data:

13, 13, 13, 20, 26, 29, 32, 33, 34, 34, 35, 35, 36, 37, 38, 41, 41, 41, 45, 46, 47, 47, 48, 52, 54, 55, 56, 62, 67, 82

The first quartile :

Q1 = 1/4(n+1)th term

n = sample size = 30

Q1 = 1/4(31) = 7.75 = (7th + 8th) / 2 = (32+33) / 2 = 32.5

Q3 = 3/4(n+1)th term

n = sample size = 30

Q3 = 3/4(31) = 23.25 = (23rd + 24th) / 2 = (48+52) / 2 = 50

D2 = 2nd decile

2 * 10% = 20%

20% * n

A. How many cups of coffee would be too much and at the dangerous level (3.00 g)? You know that coffee contains 21.5 mg caffeince per ounce and a cup is 8 oz.
B. How many cans of cola would be too much and at the dangerous level? You know that cola contains 4.20 mg per ounce and a soft drink can contain 12.0 oz.

Answers

Answer:

A) Hence, the number of coffee cups that are risky = 17.4 Cups.

B) Here, the number of coffee cups that are risky = 59.5 Colas.

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

In 1 cup coffee  =[tex]8\times21.5mg= 172.0 mg[/tex]

Hence one cup of coffee contains 172 mg of caffeine. The risky level is 3000mg.

Therefore, the number of coffee cups that are risky

                                                         [tex]= 3000/172\\ \\=17.4 cups[/tex]

Here, the number of coffee cups that are risky = 17.4 cups.

B)

[tex]1 cola=12\times4.2mg\\\\ = 50.4mg / day[/tex]

Hence, one can cola contains 50.4 mg of caffeine.

The dangerous level is 3000 mg.

Therefore, the number of cola cans that are risky [tex]=3000/50.4= 59.5[/tex] cola is risky.

  5x = 0

  x = 0

Using this in the third equation, we have ...

  2z +0 = -6

  z = -3

And substituting these values into the first equation, we have ...

  5y -3(0) -4(-3) = 22

  5y = 10 . . . . . subtract 12

How much fabric is needed to make a tent in the shape of a triangular prism with the following measures?

Answers

Answer:

The fabric needs 196.4 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The tent formed formed from 4 faces

 two equilateral triangles with side length 7 ft

 two rectangles with dimensions 11 ft and 7 ft

∵ Area equilateral Δ = 1/4 S²√3

∵ Area rectangle = L × W

∴ The area of the prism = 2 × 1/4 × (7)²√3 + 2 × 7 × 11

                                       = 196.4 ft²

Note:

If you find the area of the triangle by the rule 1/2 × base × height

∴ Area Δ = 1/2 × (7) × 6 = 21 ft²

∴ Area tent = 2 × 21 + 2 × 77 = 196 ft²

Joe bikes at the speed of 30 km/h from his home toward his work. If Joe's wife leaves home 5 mins later by car, how fast should she drive in order to overtake him in 10 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

Joe's wife must drive at a rate of 45km/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Joe leaves home and bikes at a speed of 30km/hour. Joe's wife leaves home five minutes later by car, and we want to determine her speed in order for her to catch up to Joe in 10 minutes.

Since Joe bikes at a speed of 30km/hour, he bikes at the equivalent rate of 0.5km/min.

Then after five minutes, when his wife leaves, Joe is 5(0.5) or 2.5 km from the house. He will still be traveling at a rate of 0.5km/min, so his distance from the house can be given by:

[tex]2.5+0.5t[/tex]

Where t represents the time in minutes after his wife left the house.

And since we want to catch up in 10 minutes, Joe's distance from the house 10 minutes after his wife left will be:

[tex]2.5+0.5(10)=7.5\text{ km}[/tex]

Let s represent the wife's speed in km/min. So, her speed times 10 minutes must total 7.5 km:

[tex]10s=7.5[/tex]

Solve for s:

[tex]\displaystye s=0.75\text{ km/min}[/tex]

Thus, Joe's wife must drive at a rate of 0.75km/min, or 45km/hour.
