8.43 An advertising executive wants to estimate the mean amount of time that consumers spend with digital media daily. From past studies, the standard deviation is estimated as 45 minutes. a. What sample size is needed if the executive wants to be 90% confident of being correct to within {5 minutes

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a

The sample size is  [tex]n = 219.2[/tex]

b

The  sample size is  [tex]n = 537.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told  that

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 45 \minutes[/tex]

    The  Margin of  Error is  [tex]E = \pm 5 \ minutes[/tex]

     

Generally the margin of  error is mathematically represented as

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

Where  n is the sample  size

    So

             [tex]n = [\frac{z * \sigma }{E} ]^2[/tex]

Now  at  90%  confidence level the z value for the z-table is  

        z =  1.645

So

       [tex]n = [\frac{1.645 * 45 }{5} ]^2[/tex]

       [tex]n = 219.2[/tex]

The z-value at 99%  confidence level is  

        [tex]z = 2.576[/tex]

This is obtained from the z-table  

   So the sample size is  

         [tex]n = [\frac{2.576 * 45 }{5} ]^2[/tex]

        [tex]n = 537.5[/tex]

           

Answer 2

For the 90% confidence interval, the sample size is 219.2 and for the 99% confidence interval, the sample size is 537.5 and this can be determined by using the formula of margin of error.

Given :

An advertising executive wants to estimate the mean amount of time that consumers spend with digital media daily.From past studies, the standard deviation is estimated as 45 minutes.

The formula of the margin of error can be used in order to determine the sample size is needed if the executive wants to be 90% confident of being correct to within 5 minutes.

[tex]\rm ME = z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

For the 90% confidence interval, the value of z is 1.645.

Now, substitute the values of all the known terms in the above formula.

[tex]\rm n=\left(\dfrac{z\times \sigma}{ME}\right)^2[/tex]   --- (1)

[tex]\rm n=\left(\dfrac{1.645\times 45}{5}\right)^2[/tex]

n = 219.2

Now, for 99% confidence interval, the value of z is 2.576.

Again, substitute the values of all the known terms in the expression (1).

[tex]\rm n=\left(\dfrac{2.576\times 45}{5}\right)^2[/tex]

n = 537.5

In which table does y vary inversely with x? A. x y 1 3 2 9 3 27 B. x y 1 -5 2 5 3 15 C. x y 1 18 2 9 3 6 D. x y 1 4 2 8 3 12

Answers

Answer:

In Table C, y vary inversely with x.

1×18 = 18

2×9 = 18

3×6 = 18

18 = 18 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given four tables and asked to find out in which table y vary inversely with x.

We know that an inverse relation has a form given by

y = k/x

xy = k

where k must be a constant

Table A:

x     |      y

1     |      3

2     |     9

3     |    27

1×3 = 3

2×9 = 18

3×27 = 81

3 ≠ 18 ≠ 81

Hence y does not vary inversely with x.

Table B:

x     |      y

1     |     -5

2     |     5

3     |    15

1×-5 = -5

2×5 = 10

3×15 = 45

-5 ≠ 10 ≠ 45

Hence y does not vary inversely with x.

Table C:

x     |      y

1     |      18

2     |     9

3     |     6

1×18 = 18

2×9 = 18

3×6 = 18

18 = 18 = 18

Hence y vary inversely with x.

Table D:

x     |      y

1     |      4

2     |     8

3     |    12

1×4 = 4

2×8 = 16

3×12 = 36

4 ≠ 16 ≠ 36

Hence y does not vary inversely with x.

An angle measures 125.6° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answers

Answer:

The measure of each angle:

152.8°   and     27.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles sum 180°

then:

a + b = 180°

a - b = 125.6°

then:

a = 180 - b

a = 125.6 + b

180 - b = 125.6 + b

180 - 125.6 = b + b

54.4 = 2b

b = 54.4/2

b = 27.2°

a = 180 - b

a = 180 - 27.2

a = 152.8°

Check:

152.8 + 27.2 = 180°

Answers:

152.8° & 27.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the measures of each angle.

x + y = 180°

x - y = 125.6°

180 - 125.6 = 54.4

Now we divide 54.4 evenly to get y.

y = 27.2°

To get x, we substitute y into the equation.

x = 27.2 + 125.6

x = 152.8°

To check, we plug these in to see if they equal 180°.

27.2 + 152.8 = 180° ✅

In randomized, double-blind clinical trials of Prevnar, infants were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group 1 received Prevnar, while subjects in group 2 received a control vaccine. Aft er the second dose, 137 of 452 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. After the second dose, 31 of 99 subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced drowsiness as a side effect. Does the evidence suggest that a lower proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the αα=0.05 level of significance?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the summary of the given data;

After the second dose, 137 of 452 subjects in the experimental group (group 1) experienced drowsiness as a side effect.

Let consider [tex]p_1[/tex] to be the probability of those that experience the drowsiness in group 1

[tex]p_1[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{137}{452}[/tex]

[tex]p_1[/tex] = 0.3031

After the second dose, 31 of 99 subjects in the control group (group 2) experienced drowsiness as a side effect.

Let consider [tex]p_2[/tex] to be the probability of those that experience the drowsiness in group 1

[tex]p_2[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{31}{99}[/tex]

[tex]p_2[/tex] = 0.3131

The objective is to be able to determine if the evidence suggest that a lower proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2 at the α=0.05 level of significance.

In order to do that; we have to state the null and alternative hypothesis; carry out our test statistics and make conclusion based on it.

So; the null and the  alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

[tex]H_o :p_1 =p_2[/tex]

[tex]H_a= p_1<p_2[/tex]

The test statistics is computed as follows:

[tex]Z = \dfrac{p_1-p_2}{\sqrt{p_1 *\dfrac{1-p_1}{n_1} +p_2 *\dfrac{1-p_2}{n_2}} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{0.3031-0.3131}{\sqrt{0.3031 *\dfrac{1-0.3031}{452} +0.3131 *\dfrac{1-0.3131}{99}} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{-0.01}{\sqrt{0.3031 *\dfrac{0.6969}{452} +0.3131 *\dfrac{0.6869}{99}} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{-0.01}{\sqrt{0.3031 *0.0015418 +0.3131 *0.0069384} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{-0.01}{\sqrt{4.6731958*10^{-4}+0.00217241304} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{-0.01}{0.051378 }[/tex]

Z = - 0.1946

At the level of significance ∝ = 0.05

From the standard normal table;

the critical value for Z(0.05) = -1.645

Decision Rule: Reject the null hypothesis if Z-value is lesser than the critical value.

Conclusion: We do not reject the null hypothesis because the Z value is greater than the critical value. Therefore, we cannot conclude that a lower proportion of subjects in group 1 experienced drowsiness as a side effect than subjects in group 2

Hence, slope of line passing through  (-2,2) and (3,-3) is [tex]-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] .

3. (-1,5) (2,-4)

Slope [tex]=\dfrac{-4-5}{2-(-1)}[/tex]

Historically, the proportion of students entering a university who finished in 4 years or less was 63%. To test whether this proportion has decreased, 114 students were examined and 51% had finished in 4 years or less. To determine whether the proportion of students who finish in 4 year or less has statistically significantly decreased (at the 5% level of signficance), what is the critical value

Answers

Answer:

z(c)  = - 1,64

We reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve a proportion test ( one tail-test ) left test

Normal distribution

p₀ = 63 %

proportion size  p = 51 %

sample size  n = 114

At 5% level of significance   α = 0,05, and with this value we find in z- table z score of z(c) = 1,64  ( critical value )

Test of proportion:

H₀     Null Hypothesis                        p = p₀

Hₐ    Alternate Hypothesis                p < p₀

We now compute z(s) as:

z(s) =  ( p - p₀ ) / √ p₀q₀/n

z(s) =( 0,51 - 0,63) / √0,63*0,37/114

z(s) =  - 0,12 / 0,045

z(s) = - 2,66

We compare z(s) and z(c)

z(s) < z(c)      - 2,66 < -1,64

Therefore as z(s) < z(c)  z(s) is in the rejection zone we reject the null hypothesis

What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes

Answers

Answer:

the probability that one parachute of the  five parachute is damaged is 0.156

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Let consider X to be the altitude above the  ground that a parachute opens

Then; we can posit that the probability that the parachute is damaged is:

P(X ≤ 100 )

Given that the population mean μ = 155

the standard deviation σ = 30

Then;

[tex]P(X \leq 100 ) = ( \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma} \leq \dfrac{100- \mu}{\sigma})[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 100 ) = ( \dfrac{X- 155}{30} \leq \dfrac{100- 155}{30})[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 100 ) = (Z \leq \dfrac{- 55}{30})[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 100 ) = (Z \leq -1.8333)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 100 ) = \Phi( -1.8333)[/tex]

From standard normal tables

[tex]P(X \leq 100 ) = 0.0334[/tex]

Hence; the probability of the given parachute damaged is 0.0334

Let consider Q to be the dropped parachute

Given that the number of parachute be n= 5

The probability that the parachute opens in each trail be  p = 0.0334

Now; the random variable Q follows the binomial distribution with parameters n= 5 and p = 0.0334

The probability mass function is:

Q [tex]\sim[/tex] B(5, 0.0334)

Similarly; the event that one parachute is damaged is :

Q ≥ 1

P( Q ≥ 1 ) = 1 - P( Q < 1 )

P( Q ≥ 1 ) = 1 - P( Y = 0 )

P( Q ≥ 1 ) = 1 - b(0;5; 0.0334 )

P( Q ≥ 1 ) = [tex]1 -(^5_0)* (0.0334)^0*(1-0.0334)^5[/tex]

P( Q ≥ 1 ) = [tex]1 -( \dfrac{5!}{(5-0)!}) * (0.0334)^0*(1-0.0334)^5[/tex]

P( Q ≥ 1 ) = 1 -  0.8437891838

P( Q ≥ 1 ) = 0.1562108162

P( Q ≥ 1 ) [tex]\approx[/tex] 0.156

Therefore; the probability that one parachute of the  five parachute is damaged is 0.156

A pizza is cut into six unequal slices (each cut starts at the center). The largest slice measures $90$ degrees If Larry eats the slices in order from the largest to the smallest, then the number of degrees spanned by a slice decreases at a constant rate. (So the second slice is smaller than the first by a certain number of degrees, then the third slice is smaller than the second slice by that same number of degrees, and so on.) What is the degree measure of the fifth slice Larry eats?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 5th angle = [tex]\bold{42^\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that pizza is divided into six unequal slices.

Largest slice has an angle of [tex]90^\circ[/tex].

He eats the pizza from largest to smallest.

Let the difference in angles in each slice = [tex]d^\circ[/tex]

1st angle = [tex]90^\circ[/tex]

2nd angle = 90-d

3rd angle = 90-d-d = 90 - 2d

4th angle = 90-2d-d = 90 - 3d

5th angle = 90-3d-d = 90 - 4d

6th angle = 90-4d -d = 90 - 5d

We know that the sum of all the angles will be equal to [tex]360^\circ[/tex] (The sum of all the angles subtended at the center).

i.e.

[tex]90+90-d+90-2d+90-3d+90-4d+90-5d=360\\\Rightarrow 540 - 15d = 360\\\Rightarrow 15d = 540 -360\\\Rightarrow 15d = 180\\\Rightarrow d = 12^\circ[/tex]

So, the angles will be:

1st angle = [tex]90^\circ[/tex]

2nd angle = 90- 12 = 78

3rd angle = 78-12 = 66

4th angle = 66-12 = 54

5th angle = 54-12 = 42

6th angle = 42 -12 = 30

If a pair of dice are rolled,
what is the probability that at least
one die shows a 5?

Answers

Answer:

11/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the probability that neither dice shows a 5 (also means the dice can show any number except 5- where there are 5 possible choices out of 6):

= 5/6 x 5/6

=25/36

If we subtract the probability that neither dice shows a 5, we can obtain the probability that at least 1 dice shows a 5- (either one of them is 5, or both of them is 5)

1- 25/36

=11/36

the value of 4^-1+8^-1÷1/2/3^3​

Answers

Answer:

1.9375.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we must use PEMDAS.

The first things we take care of are parentheses and exponents.

Since there are no parentheses, we do exponents.

4^-1+8^-1÷1/2/3^3​

= [tex]\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{8} / 1/ 2/ 27[/tex]

= 1/4 + (1/8) / 1 * (27 / 2)

= 1/4 + (27 / 8) / 2

= 1/4 + (27 / 8) * (1 / 2)

= 1/4 + (27 / 16)

= 4 / 16 + 27 / 16

= 31 / 16

= 1.9375.

A car travels 133 mi averaging a certain speed. If the car had gone 30 mph​ faster, the trip would have taken 1 hr less. Find the​ car's average speed.

Answers

Answer:

49.923 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the car traveled 133 miles in h hours at an average speed of x mph.

That is, xh = 133.

We can also write this in terms of hours driven: h = 133/x.

 

If x was 30 mph faster, then h would be one hour less.

That is, (x + 30)(h - 1) = 133, or h - 1 = 133/(x + 30).

We can rewrite the latter equation as h = 133/(x + 30) + 1

We can then make a system of equations using the formulas in terms of h to find x:

h = 133/x = 133/(x + 30) + 1

133/x = 133/(x + 30) + (x + 30)/(x + 30)

133/x = (133 + x + 30)/(x + 30)

133 = x*(133 + x + 30)/(x + 30)

133*(x + 30) =  x*(133 + x + 30)

133x + 3990 = 133x + x^2 + 30x

3990 = x^2 + 30x

x^2 + 30x - 3990 = 0

Using the quadratic formula:

x = [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a  

= [-30 ± √(30^2 - 4*1*(-3990))]/2(1)  

= [-30 ± √(900 + 15,960)]/2

= [-30 ± √(16,860)]/2

= [-30 ± 129.846]/2

= 99.846/2  -----------  x is miles per hour, and a negative value of x is neglected, so we'll use the positive value only)

= 49.923

Check if the answer is correct:

h = 133/49.923 = 2.664, so the car took 2.664 hours to drive 133 miles at an average speed of 49.923 mph.

If the car went 30 mph faster on average, then h = 133/(49.923 + 30) = 133/79.923 = 1.664, and 2.664 - 1 = 1.664.

Thus, we have confirmed that a car driving 133 miles at about 49.923 mph would have arrive precisely one hour earlier by going 30 mph faster

let x = the amoun of raw sugar in tons a procesing plant is a sugar refinery process in one day . suppose x can be model as exponetial distribution with mean of 4 ton per day . The amount of raw sugar (x) has

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A sugar refinery has three processing plants, all receiving raw sugar in bulk. The amount of raw sugar (in tons) that one plant can process in one day can be modelled using an exponential distribution with mean of 4 tons for each of three plants. If each plant operates independently,a.Find the probability that any given plant processes more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day.b.Find the probability that exactly two of the three plants process more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day.c.How much raw sugar should be stocked for the plant each day so that the chance of running out of the raw sugar is only 0.05?

Answer: The mean (μ) of the plants is 4 tons. The probability density function of an exponential distribution is given by:

[tex]f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}\\But\ \lambda= 1/\mu=1/4 = 0.25\\Therefore:\\f(x)=0.25e^{-0.25x}\\[/tex]

a) P(x > 5) = [tex]\int\limits^\infty_5 {f(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^\infty_5 {0.25e^{-0.25x}} \, dx =-e^{-0.25x}|^\infty_5=e^{-1.25}=0.2865[/tex]

b) Probability that exactly two of the three plants process more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day can be solved when considered as a binomial.

That is P(2 of the three plant use more than five tons) = C(3,2) × [P(x > 5)]² × (1-P(x > 5)) = 3(0.2865²)(1-0.2865) = 0.1757

c) Let b be the amount of raw sugar should be stocked for the plant each day.

P(x > a) = [tex]\int\limits^\infty_a {f(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^\infty_a {0.25e^{-0.25x}} \, dx =-e^{-0.25x}|^\infty_a=e^{-0.25a}[/tex]

But P(x > a) = 0.05

Therefore:

[tex]e^{-0.25a}=0.05\\ln[e^{-0.25a}]=ln(0.05)\\-0.25a=-2.9957\\a=11.98[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

a=6, b=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the sides of the triangles it can easily be seen that some of the sides match up. Side b is similar to the side of 11 and same with side a and the side of 3. Since one side is 16 and the other side on the smaller triangle is 8, the bigger triangle is twice as large than the smaller one. So 3 x 2 = 6 and 11 / 2 = 5.5

Find the directional derivative of f at the given point in the direction indicated by the angle θ. f(x, y) = y cos(xy), (0, 1), θ = π/3

Answers

Answer:

√3/2

Explanation:

The directional derivative at the given point is gotten using the formula;

∇f(x,y)•u where u is the unit vector in that direction.

∇f(x,y) = f/x i + f/y j

Given the function f(x, y) = y cos(xy),

f/x = -y²sin(xy) and

f/y = -xysin(xy)+cos(xy)

∇f(x,y) = -y²sin(xy) i + (cos(xy)-xysin(xy)) j

∇f(x,y) at (0,1) will give;

∇f(0,1) = -0sin0 i + cos0j

∇f(0,1) = 0i+j

The unit vector in the direction of angle θ is given as u = cosθ i + sinθ j

u = cos(π/3)i+ sin(π/3)j

u = 1/2 i + √3/2 j

Taking the dot product of both vectors;

∇f(x,y)•u = (0i+j)•(1/2 i + √3/2 j)

Note that i.i = j.j = 1 and i.j = 0

∇f(x,y)•u = 0 + √3/2

∇f(x,y)•u = √3/2

How to calculate the directional derivative of a multivariate function

The directional derivative is represented by the following formula:

[tex]\nabla_{\vec v} f = \nabla f(x_{o},y_{o}) \cdot \vec v[/tex]    (1)

Where:

[tex]\nabla f(x_{o}, y_{o})[/tex] - Gradient evaluated at point [tex](x_{o},y_{o})[/tex].[tex]\vec v[/tex] - Directional vector

The gradient of [tex]f[/tex] is calculated below:

[tex]\nabla f (x_{o},y_{o}) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} (x_{o}, y_{o}) \\\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} (x_{o}, y_{o})\end{array}\right][/tex] (2)

Where [tex]\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}[/tex] are the partial derivatives with respect to [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex], respectively.

If we know that [tex](x_{o}, y_{o}) = (0, 1)[/tex], then the gradient is:

[tex]\nabla f(x_{o}, y_{o}) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}-y^{2}\cdot \sin xy\\\cos xy -x\cdot y\cdot \sin xy\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\nabla f (x_{o}, y_{o}) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}-1^{2}\cdot \sin 0\\\cos 0-0\cdot 1\cdot \sin 0\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\nabla f (x_{o}, y_{o}) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}0\\1\end{array}\right][/tex]

If we know that [tex]\vec v = \cos \frac{\pi}{3}\,\hat{i} + \sin \frac{\pi}{3} \,\hat{j}[/tex], then the directional derivative is:

[tex]\Delta_{\vec v} f = \left[\begin{array}{cc}0\\1\end{array}\right]\cdot \left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos \frac{\pi}{3} \\\sin \frac{\pi}{3} \end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\nabla_{\vec v} f = (0)\cdot \cos \frac{\pi}{3} + (1)\cdot \sin \frac{\pi}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\nabla_{\vec v} f = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

You are selling your product at a three-day event. Each day, there is a 60% chance that you will make money. What is the probability that you will make money on the first two days and lose money on the third day

Answers

Answer:

The required probability = 0.144

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the probability of making money is 60%, then the probability of losing money will be 100-60% = 40%

Now the probability we want to calculate is the probability of making money in the first two days and losing money on the third day.

17. An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 40 hours. How large a sample is need it if we wish to be 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean

Answers

Answer:

A sample of at least 541 is needed if we wish to be 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 40 hours.

We have to find a sample such that we are 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean.

As we know that the Margin of error formula is given by;

The margin of error =  [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

where, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 40 hours

            n = sample size

            [tex]\alpha[/tex] = level of significance = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02 or 2%

Now, the critical value of z at ([tex]\frac{0.02}{2}[/tex] = 1%) level of significance n the z table is given as 2.3263.

So, the margin of error =  [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

                 [tex]4=2.3263 \times \frac{40}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

                 [tex]\sqrt{n}= \frac{40 \times 2.3263}{ 4}[/tex]

                  [tex]\sqrt{n}=23.26[/tex]

                   n = [tex]23.26^{2}[/tex] = 541.03 ≈ 541

Hence, a sample of at least 541 is needed if we wish to be 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean.

In the search to determine if car 1 is slower to accelerate than car 2, the mean time it takes to accelerate to 30 miles per hour is recorded (Note: a car is slower to accelerate if it takes more time to accelerate). Twenty trials of the acceleration time for each car are recorded, and both populations have normal distributions with known standard deviations. What are the hypotheses used in this test

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The happiest used in a test in statistics are the null and the alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis is usually the default statement while the alternative hypothesis is thevopposite of the null hypothesis.

In this case study, the null hypothesis is u1 = u2: the average mean time it takes to accelerate to 30 miles per hour for car 1 is the same as that for car 2.

The alternative hypothesis is u1 > u2: the mean time it takes to accelerate to 30 miles per hour is greater than that for car 2 thus car 1 is slower to accelerate as it takes more time.
