We intend to estimate the average driving time of a group of commuters. From a previous study, we believe that the average time is 42 minutes with a standard deviation of 10 minutes. We want our 90 percent confidence interval to have a margin of error of no more than plus or minus 2 minutes. What is the smallest sample size that we should consider

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The smallest sample size that we should consider is 68.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that 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 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.645.

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 of 10 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 10[/tex]

What is the smallest sample size that we should consider?

This is n for which M = 2. So

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

[tex]2 = 1.645\frac{10}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{n} = 1.645*10[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.645*5[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.645*5)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 67.7[/tex]

Rounding up:

The smallest sample size that we should consider is 68.

If y varies directly with x, and y= 4/5 when x= 5:

Find the variation constant, k

Answers

Answer:

k = 4/25 or 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

y = 4/5

x = 5

To find the variation constant, k;

y is directly proportional to x

Mathematically, y = kx

Substituting into the formula, we have;

4/5 = k5

Cross-multiplying, we have;

4 = 25k

k = 4/25


An engineer stands 50 feet away from a building with a surveying device mounted on a tripod. if
the surveying device is 5 feet above the ground and the angle of elevation is 50°, find how tall is
the building.​

Answers

Answer:

The building is 64.6 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the height of the building, let the height from the top of the building to the top of the tripod be represented by x. So that;

Height of the building = x + 5

But,

Tan θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Tan [tex]50^{o}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{50}[/tex]

x = 50 x Tan [tex]50^{o}[/tex]

  = 50 x 1.1918

  = 59.59

x = 59.59

Height of the building = x + 5

                     = 59.59 + 5

                     = 64.6 ft

The height of the building is 64.6 feet.

Find the probability that a randomly

in the white area.
W
r = 4 cm
4√2 cm
[? ]%
Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected point within the circle falls in the white area is approximately 36.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the area are;

The length of the radius of the circle, r = 4 cm

The length of the side of the inscribed quadrilateral, s = 4·√2 cm

The diagonals of the inscribed quadrilateral = 2 × The radius of the circle

∴ The diagonals of the inscribed quadrilateral are equal and given that the sides of the quadrilateral are equal, the quadrilateral is a square

The probability that a randomly selected point within the circle is white is given by the ratio of the white area to the brown square area as follows;

The white area = The total area - The area brown square

The total area, A = The area of the circle with radius, r = π·r²

∴ A = π·(4 cm)² = 16·π cm²

The area of the brown square, Asq = s² = 4·√2 cm × 4·√2 cm = 32 cm²

The white area, Aw = 16·π cm² - 32 cm² = 16·(π - 2) cm²

The probability that a randomly selected point within the circle falls in the white area is therefore;

[tex]P(W) = \dfrac{A_W}{T_A} = \dfrac{16 \cdot (\pi - 2) \, cm^2}{16 \cdot \pi \, cm^2 } \times 100= \left (1 - \dfrac{2}{\pi}\right) \times 100 \approx 36.338022763241865692 \%[/tex]

By rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent, we have;

The probability that a randomly selected point within the circle falls in the white area, P(W) ≈ 38.3%.

The study recruited a sample of 18 young adults who were habitual marijuana smokers. Subjects came to the lab 3 times, each time smoking a different marijuana cigarette: one with 3.9% THC, one with 1.8% THC, and one with no THC (a placebo). The order of the conditions was randomized in a double-blind design. At the start of each session, no subject reported being "high." After smoking the cigarette, participants rated how "high" they felt, using a positive continuous scale (0 representing not at all "high").

3. P343. 13. A sociologist is interested in surveying workers in computer-related jobs to estimate the proportion of such workers who has changed jobs within the past years. (a) In the absence of preliminary data, how large a sample must be taken to ensure that a 95% confidence interval will specify the proportion to within ±0.05? (b) In a sample of 100 workers, 20 of them had changed jobs within the past year. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of workers who have changed jobs within the past year. (c) Based on the data in part (b), estimate the sample size needed so that the 95% confidence interval will specify the proportion to within ±0.05.

Answers

Answer:

a) A sample of 385 must be taken.

b) The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of workers who have changed jobs within the past year is (0.1216, 0.2784).

c) A sample of 246 is needed.

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 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]

Absence of preliminary data:

This means that we use [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex], which is when the largest sample will be needed.

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

How large a sample must be taken to ensure that a 95% confidence interval will specify the proportion to within ±0.05?

A sample of n must be taken.

n is found when [tex]M = 0.05[/tex]. So

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

[tex]0.05 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.05

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.96*10[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (19.6)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 384.16[/tex]

Rounding up,

A sample of 385 must be taken.

Question b:

In a sample of 100 workers, 20 of them had changed jobs within the past year.

This means that [tex]n = 100, \pi = \frac{20}{100} = 0.2[/tex]

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{100}} = 0.1216[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{100}} = 0.2784[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of workers who have changed jobs within the past year is (0.1216, 0.2784).

Question c:

Same procedure as question a, just with [tex]\pi = 0.2[/tex]

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

[tex]0.05 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.2*0.8}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.05})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 245.8[/tex]

Rounding up

A sample of 246 is needed.

f(x) = pi/4 sin (pix/5)

Step-by-step explanation

The graph shows that A = pi/4.

B = 10, so the period = 2pi/10 = pi/5.

sin and cos are cofunctions, so a phase shift of -pi/2 makes the two functions equal to each other.

Hope this helps :)

The correct answer is f(x) = π/4 cos (πx/5 - π/2) and f(x) = π/4 sin (πx/5).

option (A) and (D) are correct.

It is given that height of 50 feet and graph is given.

It is to find f(x).

What is graph?

Graph is a mathematical representation of a network and it describes the relationship between lines and points.

The graph shows that A = π/4.

B = 10, so the period = 2π/10 = π/5.

sin and cos are co-functions, so a phase shift of -π/2 makes the two functions equal to each other.
