At a large Midwestern university, a simple random sample of 100 entering freshmen in 1993 found that 20 of the sampled freshmen finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Admission standards at the university were tightened in 1995. In 1997, a simple random sample of 100 entering freshmen found that only 10 finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Let p 1 and p 2 be the proportions of all entering freshmen in 1993 and 1997, respectively, who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class. What is a 90% plus four confidence interval for p 1 – p 2?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference of proportions is (0.01775,0.18225).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

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]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

p1 -> 1993

20 out of 100, so:

[tex]p_1 = \frac{20}{100} = 0.2[/tex]

[tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{100}} = 0.04[/tex]

p2 -> 1997

10 out of 100, so:

[tex]p_2 = \frac{10}{100} = 0.1[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.1*0.9}{100}} = 0.03[/tex]

Distribution of p1 – p2:

[tex]p = p_1 - p_2 = 0.2 - 0.1 = 0.1[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.04^2 + 0.03^2} = 0.05[/tex]

Confidence interval:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/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 bound of the interval is:

[tex]p - zs = 0.1 - 1.645*0.05 = 0.01775 [/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]p + zs = 0.1 + 1.645*0.05 = 0.18225 [/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the difference of proportions is (0.01775,0.18225).

Answer:

  B) False

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles are similar when their angles are the same measures. Because the angles sum to 180°, we only need to show that 2 angles of one triangle are equal to 2 angles of the other triangle.

All three of the angles of the first triangle are given: 20°, 40°, 120°.

One of the angles of the second triangle matches: 40°; but the other angle (80°) doesn't match either of 20° or 120°.

The angles aren't the same, so the triangles are not similar.

__

If we want to go to the trouble, we can figure the third angle of the second triangle. It is 180° -40° -80° = 60°.

Then the angles in the two triangles, listed smallest to largest, are ...

  20°, 40°, 120°

  40°, 60°, 80°

It is clear the angles of these triangles are not the same.

There is a language with 12 distinct letters. How many words that are less than four letters long can possibly be formed? (Assume any combination of letters is valid and letters can be repeated). Can you help me out with this one?

Answers

Answer:

1884

Step-by-step explanation:

1)If you hear the condition "less than four letters" it means that each word can consist of 3,2 or 1 letter. Firstly, consider the easiest situation with the word from one letter. There are 12 letters, so there are 12 words from one letter.

Then the words from two letters. The first letter of such a word can be chosen in 12 means(because 12 letters are available), then the second letter can be chosen in 12 means too. 12*12=144 words with 2 letters. (Multiplying, not adding, because each two words form one combination).

Then for the words from three letters, use the same rule, 12 means for the first letter, 12 means for the second letter, 12 means for the third letter. 12*12*12=1728 words.

Having particular words from 1,2,3 letters add them to get total quantity of words: 12+144+1728=1884words,that is the answer.

y = [tex]\frac{20}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

[tex]\frac{JH}{PQ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{FM}{ST}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{6}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{3y-2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

6(3y - 2) = 28

18y - 12 = 28 ( add 12 to both sides )

18y = 40 ( divide both sides by 18 )

y = [tex]\frac{40}{18}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{20}{9}[/tex]

Answer:

20/9

Step-by-step explanation:

since the 2 are similar,

JH/PQ = FM/ST

6/4 = 7/(3y-2)

6(3y-2) = 7*4

18y-12=28

18y = 40

y = 40/18 = 20/9 = 2 2/9

Lesson 9.6: Steady-State Analysis.) Consider a particular data set of 100,000 stationary waiting times obtained from a large queueing system. Suppose your goal is to get a confidence interval for the unknown mean. Would you rather use (a) 50 batches of 2000 observations or (b) 10000 batches of 10 observations each?

Answers

Answer:

I would rather use:

(b) 10,000 batches of 10 observations each.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is easier to have 10,000 batches of 10 observations each than to have 50 batches of 2,000 observations.  Human errors are reduced with fewer observations. For example, Hadoop, a framework used for storing and processing big data, relies on batch processing.  Using batch processing that divides the 100,000 stationary waiting times into 10 observations with 10,000 batches each is more efficient than having 2,000 observations with 50 batches each.

A scientist is studying the growth and development of an epidemic virus with a growth rate of 9% per month that has infected 3,124 people. If this rate continues, what will be the number of infected people in another 9 months? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

About 6,785 people will be infected about nine months.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an exponential function to represent the situation. The standard exponential function is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = a(r)^x[/tex]

Where a is the initial value, r is the rate, and x, in this case, is the time that has passed in months.

3,124 people have already been infected. Thus, our initial value a = 3124.

And an additional 9% will be infected per month. Therefore, our rate r will be 1 + 9% or 1.09.

Hence, our function is:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = 3124(1.09)^x[/tex]

Then after nine months, the total amount of infected people will be f(9):

[tex]\displaystyle f(9) = 3124(1.09)^{(9)}[/tex]

Use a calculator:

[tex]\displaystyle f(9) \approx 6785[/tex]

About 6,785 people will be infected about nine months.
