You have collected weekly earnings and age data from a sub-sample of 1,744 individualsusing the Current Population Survey in a given year. Given the overall mean of $434.49and a standard deviation of $294.67, construct a 99% confidence interval for averageearnings in the entire population. State the meaning of this interval in words, ratherthan just in numbers. If you constructed a 90% confidence interval instead, would itbe smaller or larger? What is the intuition?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for average weekly earnings in the entire population is between $416.42 and $452.66. This means that we are 99% sure that the true population mean weekly earnings is between these two values.

Due to the smaller margin of error, the confidence interval would be smaller, that is, less likely to contain the true population mean.

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 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/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 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

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.

[tex]M = 2.575\frac{294.67}{\sqrt{1744}} = 18.17[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 434.49 - 18.17 = $416.42

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 434.49 + 18.17 = $452.66

The 99% confidence interval for average weekly earnings in the entire population is between $416.42 and $452.66. This means that we are 99% sure that the true population mean weekly earnings is between these two values.

If you constructed a 90% confidence interval instead, would it be smaller or larger? What is the intuition?

For a 90% confidence interval, we would have z = 1.645.

Looking at the margin of error formula, M and z are direct proportional, that is, as z decreases so does M. Due to the smaller margin of error, the confidence interval would be smaller, that is, less likely to contain the true population mean.

This series of transformations is performed on a quadrilateral:
a dilation by a factor of 4 with the origin as the center of dilation
a reflection across the y-axis
a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin
a translation 3 units down
Arrange the functions representing these transformations in the order in which the transformations occur.
(The tiles are)
f(x, y) = (-4x, 4y)
g(x, y) = (4x, -4y)
h(x, y) = (4x, 4y)
i(x, y) = (4y, 4x − 3)
j(x, y) = (4y, 4x)
k(x, y) = (-4y, -4x)
l(x, y) = (-4y, -4x − 3)

Answers

Answer:

l(x,y) = (-4y, -4x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with function (x, y)

Transformations in the given order result in following

A dilation by a factor of 4 with the origin as the center of dilation

This results in both coordinates multiplied by 4(x, y) → (4x, 4y)

A reflection across the y-axis

This results in x-coordinate changing sign to opposite(4x, 4y) → (-4x, 4y)

A 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin

This results in x-coordinate swapping with negative y-coordinate (-4x, 4y) → (-4y, -4x)

A translation 3 units down

This results in y-coordinate change by -3(-4y, -4x) → (-4y, 4x - 3)

The final function is:

l(x) = (-4y, -4x - 3)

Answer:

l(x) = (-4y, -4x - 3)

The circumference of the ball is 9.4 inches. What is the approximate surface area and volume of the ball? Round your answers to the nearest unit.
The surface area of the ball is approximately
square inches
The volume of the ball is approximately
cubic Inches

Answers

Answer:

i. The surface area of the ball is approximately 28.0 square inches.

ii. The volume of the ball is approximately 14.0 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball has the shape of a sphere, so that;

C = 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

9.4 = 2 x [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x r

65.8 = 44r

r = [tex]\frac{65.8}{44}[/tex]

r = 1.50 inches

The radius of the ball is 1.50 inches.

i. Surface area of a sphere = 4[tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{2}[/tex]

So that,

surface area of the ball = 4 x [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x [tex](1.5)^{2}[/tex]

                                             = 28.2857

The surface area of the ball is approximately 28.0 square inches.

ii. Volume of the ball = Volume of a sphere = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex][tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{3}[/tex]

Volume of the ball =  [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x [tex](1.5)^{3}[/tex]

                               = 14.1429

The volume of the ball is approximately 14.0 cubic inches.

If you draw a triangle with angles that measure 95 degrees and 40 degrees, what will be the measure of the third angle?

Answers

Answer: 45°

Step-by-step explanation: All the angles of a triangle have to equal 180.

95 + 40 + x = 180

135 + x = 180

180-135 = 45.

The measure of two angles would be 35 and 45

Which NCAA college basketball conference has the higher probability of having a team play in a college basketball's national championship game? Over the last 20 years, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) ranks first by having a team in the championship game 10 times. The Southeastern Conference (SEC) ranks second by having a team in the championship game 8 times. However, both conferences have had teams in the championship game only one time, when Arkansas (SEC) beat Duke (ACC) 76–70 in 1994 (NCAA website, April 2009). Use these data to estimate the following probabilities.

a. What is the probability the ACC will have a team in the championship game?
b. What is the probability the SEC will have team in the championship game?
c. What is the probability the ACC and SEC will both have teams in the championship game?
d. What is the probability at least one team from these two conferences will be in the championship game? That is, what is the probability a team from the ACC or SEC will play in the championship game?
e. What is the probability that the championship game will not a have team from one of these two conferences?

Answers

Answer:

A)P(ACC has a team in the championship game) = 0.5

B)P(SEC has a team in the championship game) = 0.4

C)P(both ACC & SEC having teams in the championship games) = 0.05

D)P(ACC or SEC) = 0.85

E)P(not ACC or SEC) = 0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that in the last 20 years, ACC has had a team in the championship game for 10 times.

Thus;

P(ACC has a team in the championship game) = 10/20 = 0.5

B) SEC has a team in the championship game 8 times in the last 20 years;

Thus;

P(SEC has a team in the championship game) = 8/20 = 0.4

C) since both ACC and SEC have had teams in the championship game for the past 20 years, then;

P(both ACC & SEC having teams in the championship games) = 1/20 = 0.05

D) Addition rule of probability is that;

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A & B)

Applying it to this question, we have;

P(ACC or SEC) = P(ACC) + P(SEC) - P(ACC & SEC)

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

P(ACC or SEC) = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.05

P(ACC or SEC) = 0.85

E) from complement rule, we can find the probability that the championship game will not a have team from one of these two conferences.

Thus;

P(ACC not SEC) = 1 - P(ACC or SEC)

P(ACC not SEC) = 1 - 0.85

P(ACC not SEC) = 0.15

The side adjacent to ∠W is side WU.

Answer:

  (b)  side WU

Step-by-step explanation:

With respect to any given acute angle in a right triangle, the sides of the triangle are called "adjacent", "opposite", or "hypotenuse".

The two sides that form angle W are WU and WV. Side WV is the longest, opposite the right angle, so it is the hypotenuse. Side WU is "adjacent" to angle W, and side UV is "opposite" angle W.

(It can help to note that the name of the opposite side UV does not contain the letter of the angle W. The name of the adjacent side WU does contain the letter of the angle.)
