In a large midwestern university (the class of entering freshmen is 6000 or more students), an SRS of 100 entering freshmen in 1999 found that 20 finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Admission standards at the university were tightened in 2000. In 2001, an SRS of 100 entering freshmen found that 10 finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Let p1 and p2 be the proportion of all entering freshmen in 1999 and 2001, respectively, who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class.

Required:
Is there evidence that the proportion of freshmen who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class in 2001 has been reduced, as a result of the tougher admission standards adopted in 2000, compared with the proportion in 1999

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0228, which is less than the standard significance level of 0.05, which means that there is evidence that the proportion of freshmen who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class in 2001 has been reduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving this question, 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.

1999:

20 out of 100 in the bottom third, so:

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

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

2001:

10 out of 100 in the bottom third, so:

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

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

Test if proportion of freshmen who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class in 2001 has been reduced.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is still the same, that is, the subtraction of the proportions in 1999 and 2001 is 0, so:

[tex]H_0: p_1 - p_2 = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion has been reduced, that is, the subtraction of the proportion in 1999 by the proportion in 2001 is positive. So:

[tex]H_1: p_1 - p_2 > 0[/tex]

The test statistic is:

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

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]

From the two samples:

[tex]X = 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]

Value of the test statistic:

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

[tex]z = \frac{0.1 - 0}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a difference of at least 0.1, which is the p-value of z = 2.

Looking at the z-table, the p-value of z = 2 is 0.9772.

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228.

The p-value of the test is 0.0228, which is less than the standard significance level of 0.05, which means that there is evidence that the proportion of freshmen who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class in 2001 has been reduced.

A sample of 13 sheets of cardstock is randomly selected and the following thicknesses are measured in millimeters. Give a point estimate for the population standard deviation. Round your answer to three decimal places. 1.96,1.81,1.97,1.83,1.87,1.84,1.85,1.94,1.96,1.81,1.86,1.95,1.89

Answers

Answer:  0.061

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

Explanation:

Add up the values to get

1.96+1.81+1.97+1.83+1.87+1.84+1.85+1.94+1.96+1.81+1.86+1.95+1.89= 24.54

Then divide over 13 (the number of values) to get 24.54/13 = 1.8876923 which is approximate.

So the mean is approximately 1.8876923

---------------------

Now make a spreadsheet as shown below

We have the first column as the x values, which are the original numbers your teacher provided. The second column is of the form (x-M)^2, where M is the mean we computed earlier. We subtract off the mean and square the result.

After we compute that column of (x-M)^2 values, we add them up to get what is shown in the highlighted yellow cell at the bottom of the column.

That sum is approximately 0.04403076924

Next, we divide that over n-1 = 13-1 = 12

0.04403076924 /12 = 0.00366923077

That is the sample variance. Apply the square root to this to get the sample standard deviation. This is the point estimate of the population standard deviation. As the name implies, it works for samples that estimate population parameters.

sqrt(0.00366923077) = 0.06057417576822

This rounds to 0.061 which is the final answer.

2nd- Is the vertex of the graph of f(x) going to be a maximum or minimum? What are the coordinates of the vertex? Show work on how to get this

Part C: What are the steps you would use to graph f(x)? show how you can use the answers obtained in Part A and Part B to draw a graph

Answers

Answer:

We are given the function:

[tex]f(x)=2x^2-x-10[/tex]

[tex]Here,\\a=2, b=-1,c=-10[/tex]

1. X-intercepts are the points at which the graph of a function intersects or cuts the x-axis. Since the x-intercept always lies on the x-axis, its ordinate or y-coordinate will always be 0. Since the function is quadratic, it will have at most 2 x-intercepts.

In order to find the x intercept, we basically solve for x at y=0:

[tex]f(x)=2x^2-x-10\\As\ y=0,\\0=2x^2-x-10\\2x^2-x-10=0\\ 2x^2-5x+4x-10=0\\x(2x-5)+2(2x-5)=0\\(x+2)(2x-5)=0\\Hence,\\Individually:\\x=-2,\ x=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Hence, the x-intercepts of the parabola of f(x) is (-2,0),(2.5,0)

2. The vertex of parabola is determined as maximum or minimum, solely on how it opens. This depends on the nature of the co-efficient of the x^2 term or 'a'. If a is positive the parabola opens upwards (minimum point) and downwards (maximum point) if negative. Hence, here as a=2, the parabola opens upwards and its vertex is minimum.

[tex]Vertex=(\frac{-b}{2a},\frac{-D}{4a})\\Hence,\\D=b^2-4ac\\Substituting\ a=2,b=-1,c=-10:\\D=(-1)^2-4*2*-10=1+80=81\\Hence,\\Vertex\ of\ f(x)=(\frac{-(-1)}{2*2},\frac{-81}{4*2})=(\frac{1}{4},\frac{-81}{8})[/tex]

3. [Please refer to the attachment]

From the graph, we observe that the parabola cuts the x-axis at (-2,0),(2.5,0). Also, its clear that the axis of symmetry passes through [tex](\frac{1}{4},\frac{-81}{8})[/tex], which is its minimum point.

You wish to estimate a population mean y with a known population standard devi- ation o = 3.5. If you want the error bound E of a 95% confidence interval to be less than 0.001, how large must the sample size n be?

Answers

Answer:

The sample size must be of 47,059,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a p-value of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation:

[tex]\sigma = 3.5[/tex]

If you want the error bound E of a 95% confidence interval to be less than 0.001, how large must the sample size n be?

This is n for which M = 0.001. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.001 = 1.96\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.001\sqrt{n} = 1.96*3.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*3.5}{0.001}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*3.5}{0.001})^2[/tex]

[tex]A(x) = 12500(1.054)^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation for population growth:

Considering a constant growth rate, the population, in x years after 2005, is given by:

[tex]A(x) = A(0)(1 + r)^x[/tex]

In which A(0) is the population in 2005 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

The initial population of the town was estimated to be 12,500 in 2005.

This means that [tex]A(0) = 12500[/tex]

The population has increased by about 5.4% per year since 2005.

This means that [tex]r = 0.054[/tex]

So

[tex]A(x) = A(0)(1 + r)^x[/tex]

[tex]A(x) = 12500(1 + 0.054)^x[/tex]

[tex]A(x) = 12500(1.054)^x[/tex]

You know that arithmetic operations with complex numbers (multiplication and addition) are identical to those operations performed on any polynomials. That is, "i" can be treated as a variable. The simplification comes at the end, where any instances of i² can be replaced by -1.
