The survey included a random sample of 640 western residents and 540 northeastern residents. 39% of the western residents and 51% of the northeastern residents reported that they were completely satisfied with their local telephone service. Find the 99% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions is (0.0456, 0.1944).

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.

Western residents:

39% out of 640, so:

[tex]p_1 = 0.39[/tex]

[tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.39*0.61}{640}} = 0.0193[/tex]

Eastern residents:

51% out of 540, so:

[tex]p_2 = 0.51[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.51*0.49}{540}} = 0.0215[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]p = p_2 - p_1 = 0.51 - 0.39 = 0.12[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_2^2+s_1^2} = \sqrt{0.0215^2+0.0193^2} = 0.0289[/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].

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 bound of the interval is:

[tex]p - zs = 0.12 - 2.575*0.0289 = 0.0456[/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]p + zs = 0.12 + 2.575*0.0289 = 0.1944[/tex]

The 99% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions is (0.0456, 0.1944).

Suppose a six-sided die is tossed 1200 times and a 6 comes up 419 times. (a) Find the empirical probability for a 6 to occur. (Enter your probability as a fraction.) (b) On the basis of a comparison of the empirical probability and the theoretical probability, do you think the die is fair or biased

Answers

Answer:

Here both probabilities are not equal.

Therefore the die is not fair and biased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now n= 1200 times and x = 419 times.

a) Empirical Probability:

         [tex]=\frac{x}{n} \\\\= \frac{419}{1200}\\ \\=0.349[/tex]

Probability = 0.349

b) Theoretical Probability:

                     [tex]=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Here both probabilities are not equal.

Therefore the die is not fair and biased.

Answer:

  $11,715.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable formula is ...

  FV = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

where principal P earns interest at rate r compounded n times per year for t years.

  FV = $9500(1 +0.042/12)^(12·5) = $9500(1.0035^60) ≈ $11,715.65

The account will hold $11,715.65 after 5 years.

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation −40m2+10m−1=0

Answers

From the analysis of the discriminant, you obtain that the quadratic function has no real solutions.

In first place, you must know that the roots or solutions of a quadratic function are those values ​​of x for which the expression is 0. This is the values ​​of x such that y = 0. That is, f (x) = 0.

Being the quadratic function f (x)=a*x² + b*x + c, then the solution must be when: 0 =a*x² + b*x + c

The solutions of a quadratic equation can be calculated with the quadratic formula:

[tex]Solutions=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]

The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula under the square root, that is, b² - 4*a*c

The discriminant can be positive, zero or negative and this determines how many solutions (or roots) there are for the given quadratic equation.

If the discriminant:

is positive: the quadratic function has two different real solutions. equal to zero: the quadratic function has a real solution. is negative: none of the solutions are real numbers. That is, it has no real solutions.

In this case, a= -40, b=10 and c= -1. Then, replacing in the discriminant expression:

discriminant= 10² -4*(-40)*(-1)

Solving:

discriminant= 100 - 160

discriminant= -60

The discriminant is negative, so the quadratic function has no real solutions.

At a time hours after taking a tablet, the rate at which a drug is being eliminated r(t)= 50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)is mg/hr. Assuming that all the drug is eventually eliminated, calculate the original dose.

Answers

Answer:

2500 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since r(t) is the rate at which the drug is being eliminated, we integrate r(t) with t from 0 to ∞ to find the original dose of drug, m. Since all of the drug will be eliminated at time t = ∞.

Since r(t) =  50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

m = ∫₀⁰⁰50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

= 50∫₀⁰⁰(e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

= 50[∫₀⁰⁰e^-01t - ∫₀⁰⁰e^-0.20t]

= 50([e^-01t/-0.01]₀⁰⁰ - [e^-0.20t/-0.02]₀⁰⁰)

= 50(1/-0.01[e^-01(∞) - e^-01(0)] - {1/-0.02[e^-0.02(∞) - e^-0.02(0)]})

= 50(1/-0.01[e^-(∞) - e^-(0)] - {1/-0.02[e^-(∞) - e^-(0)]})

= 50(1/-0.01[0 - 1] - {1/-0.02[0 - 1]})

= 50(1/-0.01[- 1] - {1/-0.02[- 1]})

= 50(1/0.01 - 1/0.02)

= 50(100 - 50)

= 50(50)

= 2500 mg

If the mean age of the managers in company is 52 years with a standard deviation of 2.5 years, what is the probability that a randomly chosen manager will be between 54.5 and 57 years old

Answers

Answer:

13.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

For a normal distribution, the Empirical Rule states that 68% of values lie between 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% of values lie between 2 standard deviations of the mean, and 99.7% of values lie between 3 standard deviations of the mean. Here, we can see that 54.5 is 1 standard deviation away from the mean and 57 is 2 standard deviations away. This means that we want to find the difference between 1 and 2 standard deviations from the mean (in the positive direction)

To find the difference, we can simply find (percent of values 2 standard deviations of the mean) - (percent of values 1 standard deviation from the mean) = percent of values between 1 and 2 standard deviations from the mean

= 95-68 = 27 %

Finally, this gives us the percent of values between 1 and 2 standard deviations from the mean on both sides. We want to only find the positive aspect of this, as we don't care how many values are between 49.5 and 47 years old. Because normal distributions are symmetric, or equal on both sides of the mean, we can simply divide by 2 to eliminate the half we don't want, resulting in 27/2 = 13.5

The probability that a randomly chosen manager will be between 54.5 and 57 years old is 0.8413.

Given that, average age managers = 52 years standard deviation = 2.5 years.

What is standard deviation?

Standard deviation is the positive square root of the variance. Standard deviation is one of the basic methods of statistical analysis. Standard deviation is commonly abbreviated as SD and denoted by 'σ’ and it tells about the value that how much it has deviated from the mean value.

Considering the equation Z =  (X−μ)/σ

Where, X is the lower or higher value, as the case may be μ  is the average σ  is standard deviation

Now, z1= (54.5 - 52)/2.5

= 1

z2= (57 - 52)/2.5

= 2

Now, z2-z1= 2-1

= 1

P(54.5>Z<57)= 0.8413

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen manager will be between 54.5 and 57 years old is 0.8413.

Solving for t, we get ...
