Among various ethnic groups, the standard deviation of heights is known to be approximately three inches. We wish to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean height of male Swedes. Forty-eight mile Swedes are surveyed. The sample mean is 71 inches. The sample standard deviation is 2.8 inches.

Required:
a. Calculate the error bound.
b. What will happen to the level of confidence obtained if 1,000 male Swedes are surveyed instead of 48? Why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The error bound of the confidence interval is of 0.66.

b) The confidence interval will be narrower.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have to find the margin of error. Considering that we have the standard deviation for the sample, the t-distribution is used.

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

df = 71 - 1 = 70

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 70 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.9944

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.

For this problem, [tex]s = 2.8, n = 71[/tex]. So

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9944\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{71}} = 0.66[/tex]

The error bound of the confidence interval is of 0.66.

b. What will happen to the level of confidence obtained if 1,000 male Swedes are surveyed instead of 48? Why?

The margin of error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size, so increasing the sample size leads to a smaller margin  of error and a narrower confidence interval.

Which equation is true?

f of negative 10 = 1
f of 2 = negative 10
f of 0 = 6
f of 1 = negative 10

Answers

Answer:

f(0) = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question:

The function f (x) is given by the set of ordered pairs 1,0 (-10,2), (0,6) (3,17) (-2,-1) which equation is true

f(-10)=1

f(2)=-10

f(0)=6

To make concrete, the ratio of cement to sand is 1 : 3. If cement and sand are sold in bags of equal mass, how many bags of cement are required to make concrete using 15 bags of sand?

Answers

Answer:

5 bags of cement are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since to make concrete, the ratio of cement to sand is 1: 3, if cement and sand are sold in bags of equal mass, to determine how many bags of cement are required to make concrete using 15 bags of sand the following calculation must be done:

Cement = 1

Sand = 3

3 = 15

1 = X

15/3 = X

Answers

Answer:

A is the answer I guess so...

The functions f(x) = 18/x -9 and g(x) = 18/x+9 are inverse to each other.

What is a function?

A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value.

The  given function f(x)= 18/x - 9

Let us replace f(x) by y

y=18/x - 9

Now  x=18/y-9

Add 9 on both sides

x+9=18/y

Apply cross multiplication

y(x+9)=18

Divide both sides by x+9

y=18/(x+9)

f⁻¹(x)=18/(x+9)

Hence, the functions f(x) = 18/x -9 and g(x) = 18/x+9 are inverse to each other.

If the mean height today is the same as that of a​ half-century ago, what percentage of all samples of of​ today's women in their 20s have mean heights of at least ​inches?

Answers

Answer:

0.26684

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean, μ = 62.5

Standard deviation, σ = 1.96

P(Z ≥ 63.72)

The Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

P(Z ≥ (x - μ) / σ)

P(Z ≥ (63.72 - 62.5) / 1. 96) = P(Z ≥ 0.6224)

P(Z ≥ 0.6224) = 1 - P(Z < 0.6224)

1 - P(Z < 0.6224) = 1 - 0.73316 = 0.26684

A survey of 77 teenagers finds that 30 have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week. a. Give a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of teenagers who have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week. b. In the general population, 30% have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week. Is there evidence that a higher proportion of teenagers have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week than the general population

Answers

Answer:

a) The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of teenagers who have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week is (0.2982, 0.481).

b) 30% = 0.3 is part of the confidence interval, which means that there is no evidence that a higher proportion of teenagers have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week than the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

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].

A survey of 77 teenagers finds that 30 have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week.

This means that [tex]n = 77, \pi = \frac{30}{77} = 0.3896[/tex]

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3896 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.3896*0.6104}{77}} = 0.2982[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3896 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.3896*0.6104}{77}} = 0.481[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of teenagers who have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week is (0.2982, 0.481).

Question b:

30% = 0.3 is part of the confidence interval, which means that there is no evidence that a higher proportion of teenagers have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week than the general population.

A G.P is such that the 3rd term minus a first term is 48. The 4th term minus 2nd term 144. Find: (i) Common ratio ii) The first term (ii) 6th term of the sequence​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r is the common ratio.

Third term minus first term is 48.

a₃ - a₁ = 48

a₃ = a₁r²

a₁r² - a₁ = 48

a₁(r²-1) = 48

r²-1 = 48/a₁

Fourth term minus second term is 144.

a₄ - a₂ = 144

a₂ = a₁r

a₄ = a₁r³

a₁r³ - a₁r = 144

a₁r(r²-1) = 144

r²-1 = 144/(a₁r)

48/a₁ = 144/(a₁r)

r = 3

:::::

r²-1 = 48/a₁

a₁ = 6

:::::

a₆ = a₁r⁵ = 1458

(i) The common ratio for the given condition is 3.

ii) The first term of the sequence is 6.

iii) The 6th term of the sequence​ is 1458.

What is a sequence?

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

Divergent sequences are those in which the terms never stabilize; instead, they constantly increase or decrease as n approaches infinity,

It is given that a  is a geometric progression such that the 3rd term minus a first term is 48. The 4th term minus the 2nd term 144.

Each number following the first in a geometric sequence is multiplied by a particular number, known as the common ratio.

As the third term minus the first term is 48.

a₃ - a₁ = 48

a₃ = a₁r²

a₁r² - a₁ = 48

a₁(r²-1) = 48

r²-1 = 48/a₁

The fourth term minus the second term is 144.

a₄ - a₂ = 144

a₂ = a₁r

a₄ = a₁r³

a₁r³ - a₁r = 144

a₁r(r²-1) = 144

r²-1 = 144/(a₁r)

48/a₁ = 144/(a₁r)

r = 3

r²-1 = 48/a₁

a₁ = 6

a₆ = a₁r⁵ = 1458

Thus the common ratio for the given condition is 3, the first term of the sequence is 6 and the 6th term of the sequence​ is 1458.

4. At a retail store, they needed to do surveys of 32 stores which equals 40% of all their stores. How many stores does the retailer have in total?*

Answers

Answer:

180000 people

1 : 2

$40

80 stores

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)

Population in 2020 are equal : Let population =

City A increased by 20% From 120,000 in 2015

(1 + 0.2) * 120,000 = (1.2 * 120,000) = 144,000

Hence, city A = 144,000.

Since, city A and B have equal population ; city B also has a population of 144000 in 2020.

Let population in 2015 = x

(1 - 0.2) * x = 144000

0.8x = 144000

x = 144000/0.8

x = 180,000

2.)

Let proportion of 20% butter = x and proportion of 50% butter = 1 - x

0.2x + 0.5(1 - x) = 0.4

0.2x + 0.5 - 0.5x = 0.4

-0.3x + 0.5 = 0.4

-0.3x = 0.4 - 0.5

-0.3x = - 0.1

x = 0.1/0.3

x = 0.3333

(1-x) = 1 - 0.33333 = 0.6666%

0.3333% of 20% butter

0.6666% of 50% butter

Hence ;

0.3333 : 0.6666

1 : 2

3.)

Let original price of book = x

Discount on sale = 30%

Sale price = $28

Sale price = original price * (1 - discount)

$28 = (1 - 0.3) * x

$28 = 0.7x

x = $28/0.7

x = $40

4.)

Let total number of stores = x

Store surveys needed = 32

40% of total stores = 32 stores

0.4x = 32

x = 32 / 0.4

x = 80
