Suppose that 8% of college students are vegetarians. Determine if the following statements are true or false, and explain your reasoning.

a. The distribution of the sample proportions of vegetarians in random samples of size 60 is approximately normal since n >= 30.
b. The distribution of the sample proportions of vegetarian college students in random samples of size 50 is right skewed.
c. A random sample of 125 college students where 12% are vegetarians would be considered unusual.
d. A random sample of 250 college students where 12% are vegetarians would be considered unusual.
e. The standard error would be reduced by one-half if we increased the sample size from 125 to 250.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have p=proportion of vegetarian students=0.08

a. FALSE.

for normal approximations we must have np>=5 and n(1-p)>=5

here n=60 so np=60*0.08=4.8 which is less than 5.

hence normal approximation is not applicable.

b. TRUE.

for binomial proportion , the distribution is right skewed if 1-2p>0 or, 0.5>p

here, p=0.08 so 0.5>p is satisfied. hence it is rightly skewed.

c. FALSE.

here, n=125 which is quite large. hence normal approximation is applicable.

let phat be the sample proportion

then phat approximately follows a normal distribution with E[phat]=p=0.08

and variance=V[phat]=p(1-p)/n=0.08(1-0.08)/125=0.0005888

hence standard deviation=sqrt(0.0005888)=0.0242652

hence effective range of phat is [0.08-3*0.0242652,0.08+3*0.0242652]=[0.0072044,0.1527956]

12%=0.12 lies in this effective range.

hence it is not unusual.

Answer 2

In this exercise we have to classify whether the statements are true or false:

a) False

b) True

c) False

d) False

e) False

We have: [tex]p=proportion of vegetarian students=0.08[/tex]

a) FALSE.  

For normal approximations we must have:

[tex]np\geq 5 \\n(1-p)\geq 5[/tex]

Where [tex]n=60[/tex] so [tex]np=60*0.08=4.8[/tex]  which is less than 5. Hence normal approximation is not applicable.

b)TRUE.

For binomial proportion , the distribution is right skewed if :

[tex]1-2p>0 \\ 0.5>p[/tex]

Where, p=0.08 so 0.5>p is satisfied. hence it is rightly skewed.

c) FALSE.

Where, n=125 which is quite large. hence normal approximation is applicable. Let phat be the sample proportion then phat approximately follows a normal distribution with:

[tex]E[phat]=p=0.08[/tex]

and [tex]variance=V[phat]=p(1-p)/n=0.08(1-0.08)/125=0.0005888[/tex]

Hence standard deviation [tex]=sqrt(0.0005888)=0.0242652[/tex]

hence effective range of phat is:

[tex][0.08-3*0.0242652,0.08+3*0.0242652]=[0.0072044,0.1527956][/tex]

12%=0.12 lies in this effective range. Hence it is not unusual.

d) FALSE.

e) FALSE.

Susie checked it with 3 and 5 and with 4 and 7 and method worked both times. Is Susie’s method a valid way to determine the least common multiple of two counting numbers? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

No, it is not a valid way

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Is Susie's method valid?

Susie's method worked because 4 & 7 and 3 & 5 do not have a common factor.

In other words, Susie's method will not work when the two numbers have a common factor.

Take for instance, the LCM of 2 and 4.

Using Susie's method, the LCM will be 8 (i.e. 2 * 4) whereas the LCM is 4.

Owen and Ethan have $175 together. How much money does each of them have if Ethan has $33 more than Owen.

Owen has $
Ethan has $

Answers

Answer:

Owen has $71 and Ethan has $104

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where o is how much money Owen has, and e is how much Ethan has

x + e = 175

e = x + 33

Solve by substitution by plugging in o + 33 in as e, in the first equation

o + e = 175

o + (o + 33) = 175

2o + 33 = 175

2o = 142

o = 71

So, Owen has $71 dollars

To find how much Ethan has, add 33 to this, since he has $33 more than Owen

71 + 33

= 104

So, Owen has $71 and Ethan has $104

The cylinder has the great volume

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone = (h/3)πr²

The volume of a cylinder = hπr²

The only difference is that h is divided by 3 for the volume of a cone, making the total volume of a cone smaller than the volume of a cylinder with the same radius and height.

Assume that the weight of cereal in a "12.6 ounce box" is N(µ,0.42). The Food and Drug Association (FDA) allows only a small percentage of boxes to contain less than 12.6 ounces. You collect a random sample of n = 35 boxes and find that the sample mean is 12.8. Test the null hypothesis H0: µ = 13 against the alternative hypothesis HA: µ < 13 at level of significance α = 0.01

Answers

Answer:

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis, that is, that the mean is less than 13 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{0}: \mu = 13[/tex]

The alternate hypotesis is:

[tex]H_{a}: \mu < 13[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

13 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 13[/tex]

N(µ,0.42)

This means that the standard deviation is 0.42, that is, [tex]\sigma = 0.42[/tex]

You collect a random sample of n = 35 boxes and find that the sample mean is 12.8.

This means that [tex]n = 35, X = 12.8[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{12.8 - 13}{\frac{0.42}{\sqrt{35}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -2.82[/tex]

Pvalue of the test:

The pvalue of the test is the pvalue of z = -2.82.

Looking at the z table, z = -2.82 has a pvalue of 0.0024

0.0024 < 0.01, which means that we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis, that is, that the mean is less than 13 ounces.

For instance, if ???? is a density function, then ????ave is the average density of E. Find the average value of the function f(x, y, z) = 3x2z + 3y2z over the region enclosed by the paraboloid z = 4 − x2 − y2 and the plane z = 0.

Answers

Answer:

The average function [tex]f_{avg}[/tex] value = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]f(x,y,z) = 3x^2z+3y^2z[/tex]

The enclosed region [tex]z = 4 -x^2 -y^2[/tex] and the plane z = 0.

Over an area E, the average value of a function f(x,y,z) is:

[tex]f_{avg} = \dfrac{1}{V_{E}} \iiint_E f(x,y,z) dV ------ (1)[/tex]

where;

[tex]V_E[/tex] = volume of region E

To find the volume use cylindrical coordinates;

[tex]x=rcos \theta; \ \ \ y = rsin \theta; \ \ \ z = z[/tex]

Then;

E = 0 ≤ r ≤2, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, 0 ≤ z ≤ 4 - r²

[tex]V_E = \int^{2 \pi}_{0} \int^{2}_{0} \int^{4-r^2}_{0} \ rdzdrd \theta[/tex]

[tex]V_E = \int^{2 \pi}_{0} \int^{2}_{0} r(4-r^2) \ drd \theta[/tex]

[tex]V_E = \int^{2 \pi}_{0} \int^{2}_{0} (4r-r^3) \ drd \theta[/tex]

[tex]V_E = \int^{2 \pi}_{0} \Big(2r^2- \dfrac{r^4}{4} \Big)^2_0 \ d \theta[/tex]

[tex]V_E = 4(2 \pi)\\\\ V_E = 8 \pi[/tex]

However, from equation (1):

[tex]f_{avg} = \dfrac{1}{V_E} \iiint_E f(x,y,z) \ dV \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{8 \pi} \iiint_E (3x^2z + 3y^2 z) dV \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{8 \pi } \int^{2 \pi}_{0} \int^{2 }_{0} \int^{4 - r^2}_{0} \ \ 3zr^2 \ rdzdrd\theta \\ \\ = \dfrac{3}{8 \pi} \int^{2 \pi}_{0} \int^{2 }_{0} \Big(\dfrac{z^2}{2}\Big)^{4-r^2}_{0} \ r^3 drd\theta \\ \\ = \dfrac{3}{16 \pi} \int^{2 \pi}_{0} \int^{2 }_{0} (4-r^2)^2 \ r^3 \ dr d\theta[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{3}{16 \pi} \int^{2 \pi}_{0} \int^{2 }_{0} (16-8r^2 + r^4)r^3 \ dr d\theta \\ \\ = \dfrac{3}{16 \pi} \int^{2 \pi}_{0} \int^{2 }_{0} (16r^3 -8r^5 + r^7) \ dr d \theta \\ \\ = = \dfrac{3}{16 \pi} \int^{2 \pi}_{0} \Big (4r^4 - \dfrac{8}{6}r^6 + \dfrac{r^8}{8} \Big)^2_0 \ d \theta \\ \\ = \dfrac{3}{16 \pi } (2 \pi) \Big (64 - \dfrac{8}{6} \times 64 \times \dfrac{256}{8} \Big) \\ \\ = \dfrac{3}{16 \pi} (2 \pi) (\dfrac{32}{3}) \\ \\ = 4[/tex]
