A biologist studying trees constructed the confidence interval (0.14, 0.20) to estimate the proportion of trees in a large forest that are dead but still standing. Using the same confidence level, the interval was later revised because the sample proportion had been miscalculated. The correct sample proportion was 0.27. Which of the following statements about the revised interval based on the correct sample proportion is true?
A) The revised interval is narrower than the original interval because the correct sample proportion is farther from 0.5 than the calculated proportion is
B) The revised interval is narrower than the original interval because the correct sample proportion is closer to 0.5 than the mis-calculated proportion is
C) The revised interval is wider than the original interval because the correct sample proportion is farther from 0.5 than the mis-calculated proportion is
D) The revised interval is wider than the original interval because the corect sample proportion is closer to 0.5 than the mis-calculated proportion is.
E) The revised interval has the same width as the original interval.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D) The revised interval is wider than the original interval because the corect sample proportion is closer to 0.5 than the mis-calculated proportion is.

Step-by-step explanation:

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]

The larger the closer to 0.5 the value of [tex]\pi[/tex], the larger the margin of error and the wider the interval is.

A biologist studying trees constructed the confidence interval (0.14, 0.20)

This means that the estimate used was of:

[tex]\pi = \frac{0.14 + 0.2}{2} = \frac{0.34}{2} = 0.17[/tex]

The correct sample proportion was 0.27.

With [tex]\pi = 0.27[/tex], the margin of error is larger as 0.27 is closer to 0.5 than 0.17. Thus, the revised interval will be wider, and the correct answer is given by option D.

A 6 meters per second

B 5 meters per second

C 4 meters per second

D 7 meters per second​

Answers

Answer:

B 5 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two points on the graph, and find the slope.

For example, you can use the points

(0, 8500) and (1700, 0)

slope = (difference in y)/(difference in x)

slope = (0 - 8500)/(1700 - 0) = -8500/1700 = -5

The slope is negative because the plane was losing altitude as it descended.

It descended at a rate of 5 meters per second.

Answer: B 5 meters per second

Answer:

B. 5 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=8500÷1700=5

Answers

Answer:

B 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1) 2/5 = 20/x  |  20/2 = 10 so x = 10  |  5 times x 10 =50

Option 2) dogs 2 to cats 5  |  2/5 = 20/x  |  .40 = 20/x  |  .40x = 20  |  x = 50

Option 3) you can look and see that 20 is 10 times more than 2 and therefore infer that x is 10 times more than 5 which is 50


Find lateral surface
area of the play tent.
h = 4 in
14 in
5 in
5 in
W
6 in

Answers

Answer:

224 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

The tent has a shape of a triangular prism. So, we are looking for the Lateral surface area of a triangular prism.

Lateral surface area of a triangular prism = Perimeter of base × height of prism

Perimeter of base = 5 + 6 + 5 = 16 in.

Height of prism = 14 in.

Plug in the values

Lateral Surface Area = 16 × 14 = 224 in.²

Jack borrowed $ 4,000.00 and paid $ 585.00
in simple interest after 4 year 6 months. What
was the annual rate of interest?​

Answers

Answer:

3.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is I = PRT, where I = interest earned/paid, P = principal amount deposited or borrowed, R = rate of interest as a decimal, and T = time in years.

I = PRT

585 = (4000)(r)(4.5)

585 = 18,000r

r = 0.0325

Multiply by 100 to get the percentage

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given the diameter of the base, which is 8 m. Therefore, the radius is 4 m (after dividing by 2).

Plug in 4 as r and 10 as h

[tex]SA=2\pi (4)^2+2\pi (4)(10)\\SA=2\pi (16)+2\pi (40)\\SA=32\pi +80\pi \\SA=112\pi[/tex]

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 351.9 m² after rounding to the nearest tenth.

Person 1 2 3 4
Weight before the diet 180 125 240 150
Weight after six weeks 170 130 215 152

For the population of all adults, assume that the weight loss after six weeks on the diet (weight before beginning the diet minus weight after six weeks on the diet) is normally distributed with mean (µ). When testing the claim that the diet leads to weight loss after six weeks for all adults given that α=0.05, do you reject or fail to reject the Null Hypothesis, why or why not?

There is evidence that teacher at Woodlands Middle May prefer the aquarium more than students

Step-by-step explanation:

There is evidence that teachers at Woodlands Middle may prefer the aquarium (Option A) is the true statement from all the available options.

Why do we do sampling?

We do sampling so that we don't have to work on entire population of items but only on that sample in a way that we can predict information about population.

Most of the times, it isn't possible in real world to work on entire populations. Samples come out for rescue by assumptions that they will have some properties of the population pertained in them.

Thus, the sample should be taken out such that it includes data of the population as much  as it can in unbiased way so as to imitate population.

Poll oftenly uses sampling.

The data obtained from the poll shows that:

20% of the students prefer the aquarium and 50% of the teachers the

aquarium.

That means, from the poll, we found that out of total students, 20% prefer aquarium whereas 50% of total teacher prefer aquarium.

Since we conclude from sampling only as this is the usual way we do conclusion about population, and since percentage shows that less students' proportion prefer aquarium than the proportion of teachers prefering aquarium, thus,

There is evidence that teachers at Woodlands Middle may prefer the aquarium (Option A) is the true statement from all the available options.

The Robotics Manufacturing Company operates an equipment repair business where emergency jobs arrive randomly at the rate of three jobs per 8-hour day. The company's repair facility is a single-server system operated by a repair technician. The service time varies, with a mean repair time of 2 hours and a standard deviation of 1.5 hours. The company's cost of the repair operation is $28 per hour. In the economic analysis of the waiting line system, Robotics uses $35 per hour cost for customers waiting during the repair process. What are the arrival rate and service rate in jobs per hour

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

[tex]\lambda=0.375 \ jobs \ per \ hour[/tex][tex]\mu=0.5 \ jobs \ per \ hour[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Service time varies,

Repair time = 2 hours

Standard deviation = 1.5 hours

Robotics uses per hour cost,

= $35

Company's cost per hour,

= $28

(a)

Arrival rate = Jobs per hours

then,

                       = [tex]\frac{8 \ hours}{3 \ jobs}[/tex]

                       = [tex]2.666 \ hours \ per \ job[/tex]

The jobs per hour will be:

⇒  [tex]\lambda=\frac{1}{2.666}[/tex]

       [tex]=0.375[/tex]

(b)

Service rate = jobs per hour

then,

                      μ = [tex]\frac{1 \ repair \ job}{2 \ hours}[/tex]

                         = [tex]0.5 \ jobs[/tex]
