Of the population of all fruit flies we wish to give a 90% confidence interval for the fraction which possess a gene which gives immunity to fungal infections. To this end we have obtained a random sample of 400 fruit flies. We find that 280 of the flies in the sample possess the gene. Give the margin of error for the 90% confidence interval. Round your answer to 3 decimal

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The margin of error for the 90% confidence interval is of 0.038.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

To this end we have obtained a random sample of 400 fruit flies. We find that 280 of the flies in the sample possess the gene.

This means that [tex]n = 400, \pi = \frac{280}{400} = 0.7[/tex]

90% confidence level

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

Give the margin of error for the 90% confidence interval.

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.7*0.3}{400}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 0.038[/tex]

The margin of error for the 90% confidence interval is of 0.038.

Square 1 has a area of 24 square units if square 2 is half the size what is the ratio of the area of square one to square two?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to guess that 1/2 the size means the sides are 1/2 the size.

Square 1 has an area of 24. The sides are s, so the area is found by using s^2

The second square is made from sides that are 1/2 s

Area = 1/2 s * 1/2 s

Area = 1/4 s^2

Area 1 / area 2 = 24 / x^2 = s^2 / 1/4 s^2 =  1/0.25

The distance that an object falls when it is dropped is directly proportional to the
square of the amount of time since it was dropped. An object falls 288 feet in 3
seconds. Find the distance the object falls in 4 seconds

Answers

Answer:

After 4 seconds, the object will have fallen 512 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the distance that an object falls when it is dropped is directly proportional to the square of the amount of time since it was dropped, to determine, if an object falls 288 feet in 3

seconds, the distance the object falls in 4 seconds, the following calculation must be performed:

288/3 ^ 2 = X

288/9 = X

32 = X

X / 4 ^ 2 = 32

X / 16 = 32

X = 32 x 16

X = 512

Thus, after 4 seconds, the object will have fallen 512 feet.

What is the sum of 50.249 + 21.3

Answers

Answer:

71.549

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The sum of 50.249 + 21.3 is 71.549.

Step-by-step explanation:

50.249 + 21.3 can be written as (50 + 20) + (0 + 1) + (0.2 + 0.3) + 0.049, which makes calculating the sum easier. 50 + 20 = 70, 0 + 1 = 1, 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5, and you still have a 0.049. Add the numbers all together and you'll get that the sum of 50.249 and 21.3 is 70 + 1 + 0.5 + 0.049 or 71.549.

Volume of the triangular prism = Base area * height

Volume of the triangular prism = (1/2*5*3) *  6

Volume of the triangular prism = 15/2 * 6

Volume of the triangular prism = 15 * 3

Volume of the triangular prism = 45in³

Volume of the rectangular prism = 16*7*3

Volume of the rectangular prism = 336in³

Volume of the figure = 45+336

the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

length: 24 ftwidth: 42 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the product of length and width. If L represents the length, then the width is (2L -6), and the area is ...

  L(2L -6) = 1008

  L² -3L -504 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2, put in standard form

  (L -24)(L +21) = 0 . . . . factor

  L = 24 . . . . makes the first factor zero

  W = 2L -6 = 2(24) -6 = 42

The length of the rectangle is 24 feet; the width is 42 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The factory building manager at Delectable Delights, Jason Short, is concerned that the new contractor he hired is taking too long to replace defective lights in the factory workspace. He would like to perform a hypothesis test to determine if the replacement time for the lights under the new contractor is in fact longer than the replacement time under the previous contractor, which was 3.2 days on average. He selects a random sample of 12 service calls to replace defective lights and obtains the following times to replacement (in days). Use a significance level of
0.05. 6.2 7.1 5.4 5.5 7.5 2.6 4.3 2.9 3.7 0.7 5.6 1.7
1. Define μ in the context of the problem and state the appropriate hypotheses. (5 pts)
2. Regardless of your results in Part B, calculate the appropriate test statistic by hand. Write out all your steps.
3. What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis? (In other words, do you reject or fail to reject and why?)
4. Write a final concluding statement to Jason giving the results of the hypothesis test. (In other words, write the final summary statement.)

Answers

Answer:

H0 : μ = 3.2

H1 : μ > 3.2

1.982

We fail to reject the Null ;

There is no significant evidence to conclude that the mean replacement time under the new contractor takes longer than the usual average time.

Step-by-step explanation:

μ = average time taken by the previous contractor. ; μ = 3.2

H0 : μ = 3.2

H1 : μ > 3.2

Sample size, n = 12 ;

X = 6.2 7.1 5.4 5.5 7.5 2.6 4.3 2.9 3.7 0.7 5.6 1.7

xbar = Σx / n = 53.2 / 12 = 4.43

Standard deviation, s ; using a calculator :

s = 2.15

B.)

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s / sqrt(n))

(4.43 - 3.2) ÷ (2.15 / sqrt(12))

1.23 ÷ 0.62065

= 1.982

C.)

Decision Region :

If Pvalue < α ; Reject the null

α = 0.05

Pvalue :

P(x < 1.982) = 0.9762

0.9762 > 0.05 ; Hence, we fail to reject the Null

There is no significant evidence to conclude that the mean replacement time under the new contractor takes longer than the usual average time.
