Lorraine was in a hurry when she computed a confidence interval for µ. Because σ was not known, she used a Student's t distribution. However, she accidentally used degrees of freedom n instead of n − 1. Will her confidence interval be longer or shorter than one found using the correct degrees of freedom n − 1? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The confidence interval will be shorter

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

How will the confidence interval be affected when n is used instead of n - 1

As sample size n increases, the confidence interval also increases by 1;

i.e.

[tex]df = n- 1[/tex]

However, the confidence interval gets reduced.

This implies that, the higher the degrees of freedom; the shorter the confidence interval.

Answer 2

Shorter. As the degrees of freedom increase, the value for tc decreases.

An altitude is drawn from the vertex of an isosceles triangle, forming a right angle and two congruent triangles. As a result, the altitude cuts the base into two equal segments. The length of the altitude is 26 inches, and the length of the base is 9 inches. Find the triangle’s perimeter. Round to the nearest tenth of an inch.

Answers

Answer:

The triangle's perimeter is 61.77 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since an altitude is drawn from the vertex of an isosceles triangle, forming a right angle and two congruent triangles, and as a result, the altitude cuts the base into two equal segments, and the length of the altitude is 26 inches, and the length of the base is 9 inches, to find the triangle's perimeter the following calculation must be performed:

Isosceles triangle = 2 equal sides

To obtain the value of the sides, the Pythagorean theorem must be applied on the right triangle formed with the altitude.

(9/2) ^ 2 + 26 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

4.5 ^ 2 + 26 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

20.25 + 676 = X ^ 2

√ (20.25 + 676) = X

√696.25 = X

26.38 = X

26.3865 x 2 + 9 = X

52.77 + 9 = X

61.77 = X

Therefore, the triangle's perimeter is 61.77 inches.

Answers

Answer:

a) Median Height = 66 inches

b) Range of Heights = 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The median in a box-and-whisker plot is the second quartile, located between the first and third quartiles indicated by the dashed line. Therefore, the median height is 66 inches.

b) The range in a box-and-whisker plot uses the same process of finding the range of a set of data. You find the difference between the maximum and the minimum values of the data. Therefore, the range of heights is 77 - 59 = 18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the ratio of 420 m to 1 km.

We know that,

1 km = 1000 m

So,

The ratio becomes,

[tex]\dfrac{420\ m}{1\ km}=\dfrac{420\ m}{1000\ m}\\\\=\dfrac{42\ m}{100\ m}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{50}[/tex]

Problem 5

Answer:   6i

------------------

Explanation:

We have these four identities

i^0 = 1i^1 = ii^2 = -1i^3 = -i

Notice how computing i^4 leads us back to 1. So i^4 = i^0. The pattern repeats every 4 terms. So we divide the exponent by 4 and look at the remainder. We ignore the quotient entirely. We can see that 28/4 = 7 remainder 0. Meaning that i^28 = i^0 = 1.

We can think of it like this if you wanted

i^28 = (i^4)^7 = 1^7 = 1

Then the sqrt(-36) becomes 6i

So overall, we end up with the final answer of 6i

=============================================

Problem 6

Answer:  -3i

------------------

Explanation:

We'll use the ideas mentioned in problem 5

46/4 = 11 remainder 2

i^46 = i^2 = -1

sqrt(-9) = 3i

The two outside negative signs cancel out, but there's still a negative from -1 we found earlier. So we end up with -3i

In other words, here is one way you could write out the steps

[tex]-i^{46}*-\sqrt{-9}\\\\-i^{2}*-3i\\\\i^{2}*3i\\\\-1*3i\\\\-3i\\\\[/tex]

=============================================

Problem 7

Answer:   -1

------------------

Work Shown:

i^10 = i^2 because 10/4 = 2 remainder 2

i^19 = i^3 because 19/4 = 4 remainder 3

i^7 = i^3 because 7/4 = 1 remainder 3

Again, all we care about are the remainders.

[tex]i^{10}+i^{19} - i^{7}\\\\i^{2}+i^{3} - i^{3}\\\\i^{2}\\\\-1[/tex]

=============================================

Problem 8

Answer:    -1 + i

------------------

Work Shown:

i^22*i^6 = i^(22+6) = i^28

Earlier in problem 5, we found that i^28 = i^0 = 1

So,

[tex]i^1 - \left(i^{22}*i^{6}\right)\\\\i^1 - i^{28}\\\\i^1 - i^{0}\\\\i - 1\\\\-1+i[/tex]

Retention rates in a weight loss program. Americans spend over $30 billion annually on a variety of weight loss products and services. In a study of retention rates of those using the Rewards Program at Jenny Craig in 2005, it was found that about 18% of those who began the program dropped out in the first four weeks.10 Assume we have a random sample of 300 people beginning the program.
a) What is the mean number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks in a sample of this size? What is the standard deviation?
b) What is the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks?

Answers

Answer:

(a)

[tex]\mu=54[/tex]    

The standard deviation is  

[tex]\sigma=6.6543[/tex]

(b)

[tex]\mu=246\\\sigma=6.6543[/tex]  

Here sample size is large and np and n(1-p) are both greater than 30. So we can use a normal approximation of binomial distribution. z-score for Y = 234.5 (using continuity correction) is  

[tex]z=-1.73[/tex]

So the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks is  

[tex]P(Y\geq 235)=P(Y\geq 234.5)=P(z\geq -1.73)=0.9582[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let X is a random variable that shows the number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks. Here X has binomial distribution with parameters n = 300 and p = 0.18.

(a)  

The mean number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks in a sample of this size is  

[tex]\mu=np=300\cdot 0.18=54[/tex]  

The standard deviation is  

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300\cdot 0.18\cdot 0.82}=6.6543[/tex]  

(b)  

Let Y is a random variable that shows the number of people in the sample who will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks. Here Y has a binomial distribution with parameters n= 300 and p=0.82. So mean of Y is  

[tex]\mu=np=300\cdot 0.82=246\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300\cdot 0.18\cdot 0.82}=6.6543[/tex]  

Here sample size is large and np and n(1-p) are both greater than 30. So we can use a normal approximation of binomial distribution. z-score for Y = 234.5 (using continuity correction) is

[tex]z=\frac{Y-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{234.5-246}{6.6543}=-1.73[/tex]  

So the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks is  

[tex]P(Y\geq 235)=P(Y\geq 234.5)=P(z\geq -1.73)=0.9582[/tex]

The fuel efficiency (mpg rating) for cars has been increasing steadily since 1980. The formula for a car's fuel efficiency for a given year between 1980 and 1996 is E 0.36x + 15.9 where E is miles per gallon and z is the number of years after 1980. Note: Round your answers down to get the corresponding year. For instance, at 3.25, the year is 1983 .
a. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars less than 17 mpg (in interval form)?
b. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars more than 20 mpg (in interval form)?

Answers

Answer:

a) In the interval of [1980,1983].

b) In the interval of [1991, 1996].

Step-by-step explanation:

Fuel efficiency:

The fuel efficiency, for the cars, in x years after 1980, is given by:

[tex]E(x) = 0.36x + 15.9[/tex]

15.9 is the fuel efficiency in 1980.

a. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars less than 17 mpg (in interval form)?

From 1980 to:

[tex]E(x) < 17[/tex]

[tex]0.36x + 15.9 < 17[/tex]

[tex]0.36x < 1.1[/tex]

[tex]x < \frac{1.1}{0.36}[/tex]

[tex]x < 3.06[/tex]

3.06 = 1980 + 3 = 1983. So

In the interval of [1980,1983].

b. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars more than 20 mpg (in interval form)?

From x until 1996.

[tex]E(x) > 20[/tex]

[tex]0.36x + 15.9 > 20[/tex]

[tex]0.36x > 4.1[/tex]

[tex]x > \frac{4.1}{0.36}[/tex]

[tex]x > 11.38[/tex]

11.38 = 1980 + 11 = 1991. So

In the interval of [1991, 1996].

Y is directly proportional to

when x=6.

Answers

Answer:

y = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

y [tex]\alpha[/tex] [tex](x -1)^{2}[/tex]

y = c ([tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 2x + 1)

When y = 63, x = 4;

63 = c ([tex]4^{2}[/tex] - 2(4) + 1)

     = 9c

63 = 9c

c = [tex]\frac{63}{9}[/tex]

c = 7

Thus,

y = 4([tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 2x + 1)

The value of y when x = 6 can be determined as;

y = 4([tex]6^{2}[/tex] - 2(6) + 1)

   = 4(25)

y = 100

Therefore, y = 100
