Suppose that a local TV station conducts a survey of a random sample of 120 registered voters in order to predict the winner of a local election. The Democrat candidate was favored by 62 of the respondents.

Required:
a. Construct and interpret a 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate.
b. If a candidate needs a simple majority of the votes to win the election, can the Republican candidate be confident of victory? Justify your response with an appropriate statistical argument.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001). This means that we are 99% sure that the true population proportion of all voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001).

b) The upper bound of the confidence interval is above 0.5 = 50%, which meas that the candidate can be confidence of victory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

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 z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

Sample of 120 registered voters in order to predict the winner of a local election. The Democrat candidate was favored by 62 of the respondents.

So 120 - 62 = 58 favored the Republican candidate, so:

[tex]n = 120, \pi = \frac{58}{120} = 0.4833[/tex]

99% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.575[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4833 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.4833*0.5167}{120}} = 0.3658[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4833 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.4833*0.5167}{120}} = 0.6001[/tex]

The 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001). This means that we are 99% sure that the true population proportion of all voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001).

b. If a candidate needs a simple majority of the votes to win the election, can the Republican candidate be confident of victory? Justify your response with an appropriate statistical argument.

The upper bound of the confidence interval is above 0.5 = 50%, which meas that the candidate can be confidence of victory.

Answer:

The family of directions of the given vector is represented by [tex]\theta = 323.130^{\circ} \pm 360\cdot i[/tex], [tex]\forall \,i\in \mathbb{N}_{O}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information, vector stands in the 4th Quadrant ([tex]x > 0[/tex], [tex]y < 0[/tex]) and direction of the vector ([tex]\theta[/tex]) in sexagesimal degrees, is determined by following definition:

[tex]\theta = 360^{\circ} - \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{|y|}{|x|} \right)\pm 360\cdot i[/tex], [tex]\forall \,i\in \mathbb{N}_{O}[/tex]

Please notice that angle represents a function with a periodicity of 360°.

If we know that [tex]x = 4[/tex] and [tex]y = -3[/tex], then the direction of the vector is:

[tex]\theta = 360^{\circ}-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{|-3|}{|4|} \right)\pm 360\cdot i[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 323.130^{\circ} \pm 360\cdot i[/tex]

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  105.0°, 255.0°

Step-by-step explanation:

Many calculators do not have a secant function, so the cosine relation must be used.

  sec(θ) = -3.8637

  1/cos(θ) = -3.8637

  cos(θ) = -1/3.8637

  θ = arccos(-1/3.8637) ≈ 105.000013°

The secant and cosine functions are symmetrical about the line θ = 180°, so the other solution in the desired range is ...

  θ = 360° -105.0° = 255.0°

The angles of interest are θ = 105.0° and θ = 255.0°.

Find the sum of ∑3/k=0 k^2

Answers

Answer:

[tex]14[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^3k^2[/tex]

Let's break down each part. The input at the bottom, in this case [tex]k=0[/tex], is assigning an index [tex]k[/tex] at a value of [tex]0[/tex]. This is the value we should start with when substituting into our equation.

The number at the top, in this case 3, indicates the index we should stop at, inclusive (meaning we finish substituting that index and then stop). The equation on the right, in this case [tex]k^2[/tex], is the equation we will substitute each value in. After we substitute our starting index, we'll continue substituting indexes until we reach the last index, then add up each of the outputs produced.

Since [tex]k=0[/tex] is our starting index, start by substituting this into [tex]k^2[/tex]:

[tex]0^2=0[/tex]

Now continue with [tex]k=1[/tex]:

[tex]1^1=1[/tex]

Repeat until we get to the ending index, [tex]k=3[/tex]. Remember to still use [tex]k=3[/tex] before stopping!

Substituting [tex]k=2[/tex]:

[tex]2^2=4[/tex]

Substituting [tex]k=3[/tex]:

[tex]3^2=9[/tex]

Since 3 is the index we end at, we stop here. Now we will add up each of the outputs:

[tex]0+1+4+9=\boxed{14}[/tex]

Therefore, our answer is:

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^3k^2=0+1+4+9=\boxed{14}[/tex]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

∑3/k=0 k^2

Let k=0

0^2 =0

Let k = 1

1^2 =1

Let k =2

2^2 = 4

Let k = 3

3^2 = 9

0+1+4+9 = 14

What is the value c such that the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls each day is less than c is 0.95? Give your answer to four decimal places. Use the standard deviation as you entered it above to answer this question.

Answers

Answer:

The expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 174.8 minutes.

The standard deviation of the total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 17.4356 minutes.

0.3085 = 30.85% approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls will be less than 166 minutes.

The value c such that the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls each day is less than c is 0.95 is [tex]c = 203.4816[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set 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]

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

n instances of a normally distributed variable:

For n instances of a normally distributed variable, the mean is:

[tex]M = n\mu[/tex]

The standard deviation is:

[tex]s = \sigma\sqrt{n}[/tex]

Calls to a customer service center last on average 2.3 minutes with a standard deviation of 2 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 2.3, \sigma = 2[/tex]

An operator in the call center is required to answer 76 calls each day.

This means that [tex]n = 76[/tex]

What is the expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day?

[tex]M = n\mu = 76*2.3 = 174.8[/tex]

The expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 174.8 minutes.

What is the standard deviation of the total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day?

[tex]s = \sigma\sqrt{n} = 2\sqrt{76} = 17.4356[/tex]

The standard deviation of the total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 17.4356 minutes.

What is the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls will be less than 166 minutes?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 166.

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

For this problem:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{166 - 174.8}{17.4356}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.6915.

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085.

0.3085 = 30.85% approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls will be less than 166 minutes.

What is the value c such that the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls each day is less than c is 0.95?

This is X = c for which Z has a p-value of 0.95, so X = c when Z = 1.645. Then

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

[tex]1.645 = \frac{c - 174.8}{17.4356}[/tex]

[tex]c - 174.8 = 1.645*17.4356[/tex]

[tex]c = 203.4816[/tex]

The value c such that the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls each day is less than c is 0.95 is [tex]c = 203.4816[/tex]

explanation:

when we have decimals we are going backward,

therefore "0.00037" would be a negative number

to find the scientific notation form, we have to move the decimal over to the left untill we get 3.7

it took 4 moves to the right to get to 3.7, and since were dealing with decimals it will be negative,

so the first one is 3.7 x 10^4

the second one however is not a decimal so it will be a positive exponent.

now remember that there is always a decimal after a number we might just not see it.

so, going from the very end of the number it takes us 4 moves to the left to get to 3.7

so,

the second one will be 3.7 x 10^4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the circle geometry shown, traingle BDC is an isosceles triangle which shows means that their base angels are the same. Hence;

<B = <C

<CBD + <BCD + <D = 180

<BCD + <BCD + <D =180

2<BCD + <BDC = 180

Get <BCD;

<BCD+ <ECB = 90

<BCD + 48 = 90

<BCD = 90 - 48

<BCD = 42degrees

Get <BDC

2<BCD + <BDC = 180

2(42)+ <BDC = 180

84 + <BDC = 180

<BDC = 180 - 84

<BDC = 96

Since angle at the centre is twice that at the circumference, then;

<BAC = 1/2(<BDC )

<BAC = 96/2

<BAC = 48degrees

Change the confidence level to 68%. C. Double the sample size. D. Change the confidence level to 99.7%. E. Decrease the sample proportion by half.

Answers

The length of the confidence interval is the margin of error, which is the ratio of the standard deviation and the square root of sample size. Hence, to reduce the length of confidence interval by half, Quadruple the sample size.

Recall :

Margin of Error = σ/√n

Evaluating an hypothetical scenario :

Let standard deviation, σ = 2

Sample size = 50

Margin of Error = 2/√50 = 0.554

Using Quadruple of the sample size : (50 × 4) = 200 samples

Margin of Error = 2/√200 = 0.277

(0.227 ÷ 0.554) = 0.5

Therefore, increasing the sample size, reduces the margin of error. Hence, using quadruple the sample size, will reduce the margin of error by half.
