It has been reported that 20.4% of incoming freshmen indicate that they will major in business or a related field. A random sample of 400 incoming college freshmen was asked their preference, and 95 replied that they were considering business as a major. Estimate the true proportion of freshman business majors with 98% confidence. Does your interval contain 20.4%?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The  98% confidence interval

                         [tex]0.1884 < p < 0.2876[/tex]

The confidence interval contains  20.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n =  400

The number that replied that they were considering business as a major [tex]x = 95[/tex]

  The  sample proportion is mathematically  evaluated as

          [tex]\r p = \frac{95}{400}[/tex]

         [tex]\r p = 0.238[/tex]

Given that the confidence level 98% then the level of significance is evaluated as

      [tex]\alpha = 100 - 98[/tex]

     [tex]\alpha = 2 \%[/tex]

     [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex]  from the normal distribution table is  

       [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 2.33[/tex]

  Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

       [tex]E = Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{ p (1 - p )}{n} }[/tex]  

       [tex]E = 2.33 * \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.238 (1 - 0.238 )}{400} }[/tex]

        [tex]E = 0.0496[/tex]

The  98%  confidence interval is mathematically represented

   [tex]\r p - E < p < \r p + E[/tex]

 =>    [tex]0.238 - 0.0496 < p <0.238 + 0.0496[/tex]

=>      [tex]0.1884 < p < 0.2876[/tex]

I’m pretty sure this is right? I’m still learning too :p

Answers:Angle 1 and angle 8 are alternate exterior angles (so are angle 5 and angle 4; but you only need to pick one pair)Angle 1 and angle 3 are corresponding angles (there are 3 other possible answers. See the second section below)Angle 2 and angle 7 are alternate interior angles (so are angle 3 and angle 6; but you only need to pick one pair)

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

Explanations:

For the sake of simplicity, imagine that lines m and n are parallel. They don't necessarily need to be in order to answer this problem, but it might help with the terminology better.

When we use the term "interior" we basically mean the region between or inside the parallel lines. So "exterior" is everything but that, which is composed of two separate regions that don't overlap. Exterior angles shown in this diagram are

angle 1, angle 5, angle 4, angle 8

The "alternate" refers to the idea that we're on alternate sides of the transversal cutting line. One pair of alternate exterior angles is angle 1 and angle 8. We have angle 1 below the transversal while angle 8 is on the opposite side and above the transversal. For similar reasoning, angles 5 and 4 are alternate exterior angles as well.

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

Notice how each line crosses to form an X shape, producing 4 angles that share the same common vertex point. For instance, angles 1, 5, 6 and 2 are all around the same point.

Angle 1 and angle 3 are corresponding angles because they

a) are to the left of each parallel line (m and n)b) both below the transversal line

So in short, they are both in the same corner of each four corner angle configuration. They are both in the bottom left corner. This is the full list of all corresponding angle pairs

angle 1 and angle 3angle 2 and angle 4angle 5 and angle 7angle 6 and angle 8

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

As stated in the first section above, the interior region is between the parallel lines. Alternate interior angles alternate being above and below the transversal line.

So this applies to angle 2 and angle 7. It also works for angle 3 and angle 6.

What is the common difference in the arithmetic sequence 1,1.25,1.5,1.75,… ?

Answers

Answer:

0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common difference, you need to find the number that each value increases by.

1.75 - 1.5 = 0.25.

1.5 - 1.25 = 0.25.

1.25 - 1 = 0.25.

All values apparently increase by 0.25. So, that is your common difference.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference is the value added to the first term to get the second term, then added to the second to get the third and so on.

To find the common difference, subtract the first term from the second. Then check by subtracting the second term from the third.

The sequence is:  1,1.25,1.5,1.75

second term - first term

1.25- 1= 0.25

third term- second term

1.5 -1.25= 0.25

The common difference in the arithmetic sequence is 0.25

Find the missing side or angle.
Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

b=2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

using sine rule,,,

Step-by-step explanation:

So for this problem, we need the missing angle A. From there, we can use the law of sines to compute length of b.

So the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180. With that in mind, we can make an equation to fine the measure of angle A.

53 + 80 + A = 180

133 + A = 180

A = 47

Now that we have the angle of A, we can use the law of sines to fine the length of b.

b / sin(B) = a / sin(A)

b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)

b = sin(80) * 2 / sin(47)

b = 2.693

Now round that to the nearest tenth to get

b = 2.7

The SAT Reasoning Test (formerly called the Scholastic Aptitude Test) is perhaps the most widely used standardized test for college admissions in the United States. Scores are based on a normal distribution with a mean of 1500 and a standard deviation of 300. Clinton College would like to offer an honors scholarship to students who score in the top 10 percent of this test. What is the minimum score that qualifies for the scholarship?

Minimum Score:

Answers

Answer:

The score is  [tex]x = 1884[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The population mean is  [tex]\mu = 1500[/tex]

     The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 300[/tex]

     

From the question we are told that the score follow a normal distribution

i.e     [tex]X \~ \ N( 1500 , 300)[/tex]

The proportion of score in the top 10% is mathematically

           [tex]P(X > x ) = P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } > \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } ) = 0.10[/tex]

Where x is the minimum score required to be in the top 10%

Now the [tex]\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } = Z (The \ Standardized \ value \ of \ X)[/tex]

  So

            [tex]P(X > x ) = P( Z > \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } ) = 0.10[/tex]

So

            [tex]P(X > x ) = P( Z > \frac{x - 1500}{300} ) = 0.10[/tex]

So the critical value of  0.10  from the normal distribution table is  [tex]Z_{0.10} = 1.28[/tex]

So

               [tex]\frac{x - 1500}{300} = 1.28[/tex]

              [tex]x = 1884[/tex]

1. The equation of a circle is x2 + y2 - 4x + 2y - 11 = 0. What are the center and the radius of the circle?
Show your work
Answer:)

Answers

Answer:

The center of the circle:

(2, -1)

The radius of the circle:

r = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to complete the square on both x and y:

x^2 + y^2 -4x + 2y - 11 = 0

x^2 -4x +y^2 +2y = 11

We determine c1 to complete the square on x:

c1 = (b/2)^2

c1 = (-4/2)^2 = 4

We then determine c2 to complete the square on y:

c2 = (2/2)^2 = 1

The equation of the circle is then re-written as:

x^2 -4x + 4 +y^2 +2y + 1 = 11 +4 +1

We then factorize the expressions in x and y separately:

(x-2)^2 + (y +1)^2 = 16

The center of the circle is thus:

(2, -1)

The radius is the square root of 16:

r = 4

Answer:

center :  (2, -1)

radius :  r = 4

So, using the above relation.

So,

[tex]V_2=\dfrac{V_1P_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{356\times 6}{7}\\\\V_2=305.14\ \text{inch}^3[/tex]

Abel and Cedric will share a total of $180. Abel will receive half as much as Cedric. What amount. in dollars, will Cedric receive (Disregard the $ sign when gridding your answer.)

Answers

Answer:

Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Abel's share = A

Let Cedric's share = C

we are given the following

A + C = 180  - - - - - (1)   (Abel and Cedric will share a total of $180)

[tex]A = \frac{C}{2}\ - - - - - - - (2)[/tex] (Abel will receive half as much as Cedric. )

from equation 2:

[tex]A = \frac{C}{2}\\ C = 2A\ - - - - - - (3)[/tex]

putting this value of C in eqn (3) into eqn (1)

A + (2A) = 180

3A = 180

∴ A = 180 ÷ 3 = 60

to find C, let us replace the value of A in eqn (3) with 60

C = 2A - - - - (3)

C = 2 × 60

C = 120

Therefore, Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope intercept form

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y =1/4 x+b

Substituting in the point

3 = 1/4(8)+b

3 = 2+b

Subtract 2 from each side

3-2 = b

1 =b

y = 1/4x+1

Answer:

y=1/4x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for a line is y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. since we have our slope given and and x,y given we can use that to solve for b. we get:

3=1/4(8)+b

3=2+b

1=b

therefore the y-intercept is b

so the equation is y=1/4x+1

A factory produces plate glass with a mean thickness of 4 mm and a standard deviation of 1.1 mm. A simple random sample of 100 sheets of glass is to be measured, and the mean thickness of the 100 sheets is to be computed. What is the probability that the average thickness of the 100 sheets is less than 3.74 mm

Answers

Answer:

0.0090483

Approximately = 0.00905

Step-by-step explanation:

z = (x - μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = 3.74

μ is the sample mean = population mean = 4 mm

σ is the sample standard deviation

This is calculated as:

= Population standard deviation/√n

Where n = number of samples = 100

σ = 1.1/√100

σ = 1.1/10 = 0.11

z = (3.74 - 4) / 0.11

z = -2.36364

Using the z score table to determine the probability,

The probability that the average thickness of the 100 sheets is less than 3.74 mm

P(x<3.74) = 0.0090483

Approximately = 0.00905

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the average thickness of the 100 sheets is less than 3.74 mm.

In a normal distribution 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]

It 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, which is the percentile of X.By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means for size n has standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

In this problem:

Mean thickness of 4 mm, thus [tex]\mu = 4[/tex].Standard deviation of 1.1 mm, thus [tex]\sigma = 1.1[/tex].Sample of 100, thus [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{1.1}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.11[/tex].

The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 3.74, then:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{3.74 - 4}{0.11}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0091.

0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the average thickness of the 100 sheets is less than 3.74 mm.

Also, the more clustered the data points are along the line of best fit, the higher the value of the coefficient, whether positive or negative.

Graph C shows a positive correlation because as the variable on the x-axis increases, the variable on the y-axis also increases. The data points are more clustered along the line if best fit, if we draw one. This suggest a positive correlation coefficient (r) as strong as 0.75.

For each trip, if the driver is in city A, the probability that he has to drive passengers to city B is 0.25

If he is in city B, the probability that he has to drive passengers to city A is 0.45.

The objectives are to calculate the following :

a. What is the 1-step transition matrix?

To  determine the 1 -step transition matrix

Let the State ∝ and State β denotes the Uber Driver providing service in City A and City B respectively.

∴  The transition probability from state ∝ to state β is 0.25.

The transition probability from state ∝ to state ∝ is 1- 0.25 = 0.75

The transition probability from state β to state ∝ is 0.45. The transition probability from state β to state β is 1 - 0.45 = 0.55

Hence; 1-step transition matrix is be expressed as:

[tex]P= \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.75&0.25\\0.45&0.55\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

b. Suppose he is in city B, what is the probability he will be in city A after two trips?

Consider [tex]Y_n[/tex] = ∝ or β  to represent the Uber driver is in City A or City B respectively.

∴ The probability that he will be in City A after two trips given that he is in City B

=[tex]P(Y_0 = 2, Y_2 = 1 , Y_3 = 1) + P(Y_0 = 2, Y_2 = 2 , Y_3 = 1)[/tex]

= 0.45 × 0.75 + 0.55 × 0.45

= 0.3375 + 0.2475

= 0.585

c. After many trips between the two cities, what is the probability he will be in city B?

Assuming that Ф = [ p  q ] to represent the long run proportion of time that Uber driver is in City A or City B respectively.

Then, ФP = Ф  , also  p+q = 1  , q = 1 - p  and p = 1 - q

[tex][ p\ \ \ q ] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.75&0.25\\0.45&0.55\\\end{array}\right] [ p\ \ \ q ][/tex]

0.75p + 0.45q = q

-0.25p + 0.45q = 0

since p = 1- q

-0.25(1 - q) + 0.45q = 0    

-0.25 + 0.25 q + 0.45q = 0

0.7q = 0.25

q = [tex]\dfrac{0.25} {0.7 }[/tex]

q =  0.3571

After many trips, the probability that he will be in city B = 0.3571

The weighted average of the possible values that a random variable X can assume, where the weights are the probabilities of occurrence of those values, is referred to as the:\

Answers

Answer: Expected value

Step-by-step explanation: The expected value of a random variable refers to a predicted variable which is obtained from the summation of the product of all possible values and the probability of occurrence of each value. The expected values gives the mean or average possible value over the cause of a certain experiment or scenario. It is thus the probability weighted average of all possible values or outcomes of an experiment.

The expected value could be represented mathematically as thus;

E(x) = [Σ(x * p(x)]

Where x = all possible values or outcomes of x;

p(x) = corresponding probability of each x value.
