As a manager of a company you are given 2 estimates for the annual firm’s profits: 1) Estimate A predicting that the mean profit would be between $1mil and $1.5 mil which is a 95% confidence interval; 2) Estimate B that the annual profits are between $1.2 mil and $1.4 mil, a 93% confidence interval. Which of the two estimates is more accurate and why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

A confidence interval determines the probability that a range of values(e.g-given a large data set )has the true parameter. Example, to find mean of height of 30+ men, our confidence interval will say that there is 96% confidence that the mean height of 30+ men is between 5ft and 6ft. While confidence intervals, narrow or broad with high or low significance levels may not be akin to accuracy, it will only help to determine the precision or otherwise of our estimate. For example, if confidence interval is narrow as in second option and confidence level is lower, it only narrows down our options to ascertain the true mean or parameter we are investigating and doesn't exactly affect accuracy since we are still not 100% confident our true mean lies in this interval.

Distribution of Sample Proportions
Susan really loves the lemon-flavored Fruity Tooty candies, but there always seems to be a lot of grape-flavored candies in each bag. To determine whether this is because grape candies are so popular or because each bag contains fewer lemon candies, Susan randomly picks a Fruity Tooty candy from her bag, records its flavor, and places it back in the bag. Each bag contains a mixture of cherry, grape, apple, lemon, and orange flavors. Which statement about Susan's distribution of sample proportions is true?
a) The distribution of the count of picking a cherry candy cannot be modeled as approximately normal if Susan picks candies over 200 times.
b) The distribution of apple candy can be modeled as normal if Susan picks candies over 75 times.
c) The sample proportion of drawing an orange candy is not a binomial distribution.
d) The distribution of lemon candy can be modeled as normal if Susan picks candies 10 times.

Answers

Answer:

Option B, The distribution of apple candy can be modeled as normal if Susan picks candies over 75 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution of apple candies can be represented as normal curve and hence the sample proportion for this is true and can be drawn.

The rest other cases do not represent a normal distribution and hence it will not be easy to plot curve for these samples.

hence, option B is correct

Work Shown:

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(64) = x/28

The sound pressure P for a given sound is given by:
P= 10 log W/ Wo
Its units are decibels (dB). W is the size of a variable energy source (called the sound power), measured in Watts. Wo is the lowest threshold of sound that humans can typically hear. It is a constant given by:
Wo=10^-12 W/m2
a) Find the rate of change of the sound pressure P with respect to time if W=7.2 and dW/dt = 0.5 at some given time t.
b) If the variable sound power W is given by W = t2 +t +1, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 3s.
c) If W = cos 0.2t, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 15 (calculators in radians)

Answers

Answer:

a. 0.302 dB/s

b. 2.34 dB/s

c. 1.24 dB/s

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Find the rate of change of the sound pressure P with respect to time if W=7.2 and dW/dt = 0.5 at some given time t.

Since P = 10log(W/W₀), its rate of change with respect to time is

dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt

dP/dW = d[10logW - 10logW₀]/dt

dP/dW = d[10lnW/2.303 - 10logW₀]/dt

= 10/2.303W - 0

= 10/(2.303W)

dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt

dP/dt = 10/(2.303W) × dW/dt

Since dW/dt = 0.5 when W = 7.2, then

dP/dt = 10/(2.303 × 7.2) × 0.5

dP/dt = 10/16.5816 × 0.5

dP/dt = 0.603 × 0.5

dP/dt = 0.302 dB/s

b) If the variable sound power W is given by W = t² + t + 1, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 3s.

Since P = 10log(W/W₀), its rate of change with respect to time is

dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt

dP/dW = d[10logW - 10logW₀]/dt

dP/dW = d[10lnW/2.303 - 10logW₀]/dt

= 10/2.303W - 0

= 10/(2.303W)

and dW/dt = d(t² + t + 1)/dt = 2t + 1

So, dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt

dP/dt = 10/(2.303W) × (2t + 1)

dP/dt = 10(2t + 1)/(2.303W)

dP/dt = 10(2t + 1)/[2.303(t² + t + 1)]

we then substitute t = 3 into the equation

dP/dt = 10(2t + 1)/[2.303(t² + t + 1)]

dP/dt = 10(2(3) + 1)/[2.303((3)² + 3 + 1)]

dP/dt = 10(6 + 1)/[2.303(9 + 3 + 1)]

dP/dt = 10(7)/[2.303(13)]

dP/dt = 70/29.939

dP/dt = 2.34 dB/s

c) If W = cos 0.2t, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 15 (calculators in radians)

Since dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt and dP/dW = 10/(2.303W) and W = cos(0.2t), dW/dt = -0.2sin(0.2t)

So, dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt

dP/dt = 10/(2.303W) × -0.2sin(0.2t)

dP/dt = -20sin(0.2t)/(2.303W)

dP/dt = -20sin(0.2t)/(2.303cos(0.2t))

dP/dt = -20tan(0.2t)/2.303

when t = 15, we have

dP/dt = -20tan(0.2 × 15)/2.303

dP/dt = -20tan3/2.303

dP/dt = -20 × -0.1425/2.303

dP/dt = 2.8509/2.303

dP/dt = 1.238

dP/dt ≅ 1.24 dB/s

Answer:

2p +3d = 18.25; 4p +2d = 27.50popcorn: $5.75; drink: $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let p and d represent the prices of a bag of popcorn and a drink, respectively.

Mohamed's purchase is ...

  2p +3d = 18.25

Miguel's purchase is ...

  4p +2d = 27.50

__

b) We can subtract half the second equation from the first to get an equation for the cost of a drink.

  (2p +3d) -1/2(4p +2d) = (18.25) -1/2(27.50)

  2d = 4.50 . . . . . . simplify

  d = 2.25 . . . . . . divide by 2

  4p +2(2.25) = 27.50 . . . . substitute for d in the second equation

  4p = 23.00 . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.50

  p = 5.75 . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The cost of a bag of popcorn is $5.75; the cost of a drink is $2.25.

Observing the data, we can see that the numbers on the right side are simple the squares of the numbers on the left side. This is illustrated below:

1 = 1² = 1

2 = 2² = 4

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = change in y over change in x

If you look at the graph as y goes up 1 x goes up 1

So slope = 1/1 or just 1

Answer:

m=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given the graph of a line and we need to find the slope of the line

There are many ways to do this, but the easiest is to calculate it from two points

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from 2 points is [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex], where ([tex]x_{1}[/tex],[tex]y_{1}[/tex]) and ([tex]x_{2}[/tex],[tex]y_{2}[/tex]) are points

So we can take 2 points from the graph of the line to find the slope

For example, let's take (-1,0) and (0,1)

Let's label their values to avoid any confusion before we substitute their values into the formula

[tex]x_{1}[/tex]=-1

[tex]y_{1}[/tex]=0

[tex]x_{2}[/tex]=0

[tex]y_{2}[/tex]=1

now substitute into the formula *remember: we have SUBTRACTION in the slope formula

m=[tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

substitute

m=[tex]\frac{1-0}{0--1}[/tex]

simplify

m[tex]\frac{1}{0+1}[/tex]

simplify again

m=[tex]\frac{1}{1}[/tex]

divide

m=1

Therefore the slope of the line is 1

Hope this helps! :)

From 22 potential women jurors and 25 potential men jurors, a jury of 12 is chosen at random. Let X be the number of women selected. Find the probability mass function of X.

Answers

Answer:

The probability mass function is:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,47,12,22) = \frac{C_{22,x}*C_{25,12-x}}{C_{47,12}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The people are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability mass of the hypergeometric probability distribution is given by:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

In this question:

22 + 25 = 47 jurors, so [tex]N = 47[/tex]

22 are women, which means that [tex]k = 22[/tex]

Jury of 12, which means that [tex]n = 12[/tex].

Thus

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,47,12,22) = \frac{C_{22,x}*C_{25,12-x}}{C_{47,12}}[/tex]

Which is the probability mass function.
