The Wall Street Journal reported that 33% of taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes between $30000 and $60000 itemized deductions on their federal income tax return. The mean amount of deductions for this population of taxpayers as $16642. Assume the standard deviation =$2400. What is the probability that a sample of 100 taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within $200 of the population mean?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5934 = 59.34% probability that a sample of 100 taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within $200 of the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The mean amount of deductions for this population of taxpayers as $16642. The standard deviation was of $2400.

This means that [tex]\mu = 16642, \sigma = 2400[/tex]

Sample of 100:

This means that [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{2400}{\sqrt{100}} = 240[/tex]

What is the probability that a sample of 100 taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within $200 of the population mean?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 16642 + 200 = 16842 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16642 - 200 = 16442. So

X = 16842

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{16842 - 16642}{240}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.83[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.83[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7967

X = 16442

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{16442 - 16642}{240}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.83[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.83[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.2033

0.7967 - 0.2033 = 0.5934

0.5934 = 59.34% probability that a sample of 100 taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within $200 of the population mean.

Solve for x. 20x + 5 =5x+65

Answers

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 5 from all sides

20x+5-5=5x+65-5

simplify

20x=5x+60

subtract 5x from both sides

20x-5x=5x+60-5x

simplify again

15x=60

Divide both sides by 15

15x/5 = 60/15

The state of New Mexico is piloting a new program that the governor hopes will increase the proportion of people who regularly go for medical check-ups. Historicallty, this rate was known to be 76%. To help them answer this question, they conduct a study that samples 880 people who live in New Mexico. All of these people participate in the pilot program for 6 months. After participation, they are asked whether the now regularly go for medical check-ups. Of the participants, 686 now say they now regularly go for medical check-ups. Consider the scenario in which this program is rolled out state-wide.

Answers

Answer:

H0: p1=p2    against the claim Ha: p1≠p2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the proportion of the people going for medical checkup before the program is p1= 0.76

The proportion of the people going for medical checkup after the program is p2= 686/880=0.78

Our null and alternate hypothesis will be

H0: proportion of the people going for medical checkup before the program is equal to the proportion of the people going for medical checkup after the program

against the claim

Ha:  proportion of the people going for medical checkup before the program is not equal to the proportion of the people going for medical checkup after the program

Mathematically this can be written as

H0: p1=p2    against the claim Ha: p1≠p2

A 20-minute consumer survey that included a $5 Starbucks gift card was emailed to 500 adults aged 25-34. The survey resulted in 65 responses. The same 20-minute consumer survey was emailed to 500 adults aged 25-34 without the Starbucks gift card. The survey resulted in 45 responses. We would like to know if the inclusion of a Starbucks gift card led to any change in survey response rate. Which of the following hypotheses should be used?
A. Null Hypothesis: mul (average number of responses with Starbucks gift card)<= muo(average number of responses without Starbucks gift card) Alternative Hypothesis: mu1 ( average number of responses with Starbucks gift card)> muo(average number of responses without Starbucks gift card)
B. Null Hypothesis: mu1 (average number of responses with Starbucks gift card)= mud (average number of responses without Starbucks gift card) Alternative Hypothesis: mu1 ( average number of responses with Starbucks gift card) \= mul ( average number of responses without Starbucks gift card) * \= means "not equal to"
C. Null Hypothesis: pi1 (rate with Starbucks gift card)= pi2 (rate without Starbucks gift card) Alternative Hypothesis: pi1 (rate with Starbucks gift card) (= pi2 (rate without Starbucks gift card) * \= means "not equal to"
D. Null Hypothesis: pi1 (rate with Starbucks gift card) - pi2 (rate without Starbucks gift card)<=0 Alternative Hypothesis: pi1 (rate with Starbucks gift card) - pi2 (rate without Starbucks gift card) > 0

Answers

Answer:

D. Null Hypothesis: pi1 (rate with Starbucks gift card) - pi2 (rate without Starbucks gift card)<=0 Alternative Hypothesis: pi1 (rate with Starbucks gift card) - pi2 (rate without Starbucks gift card) > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The test described above test the difference in proportion :

With Starbucks gift card :

x1 = 65 n1 = 500

Phat 1 = x1 / n1

Phat 1 = 65 /500 = 0.13

Phat1

Without Starbucks gift card :

x2 = 45 n2 = 500

Phat1 = x2 / n2

Phat 2 = 45 / 500 = 0.09

To test the difference in proportion :

Phat 1 > Phat 2 (alternative)

Null takes the stance that there is no difference in proportion

Phat1 - phat2 <=0

Alternative claims that there is difference on proportion such that phat 1 is greater than phat 2

Phat 1 - phat > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

VU is tangent [tex] \odot W[/tex] at point U and WU is radius.

[tex] \therefore WU \perp VU[/tex]

[tex] \implies m\angle VUW=90\degree[/tex]

[tex] \therefore \triangle VUW[/tex] is right angle triangle.

WZ = WU = x - 1 (Radii of same circle)

WV = x - 1 + 2 = x + 1

By Pythagoras Theorem:

[tex] WU^2 + VU^2 = WV^2 [/tex]

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

[tex]x^2 -2x +1+ 4x^2 -16x + 16=x^2 +2x +1[/tex]

[tex]4x^2 -20x + 16=0[/tex]

[tex]x^2 -5x + 4=0[/tex]

[tex]x^2 -5x + 4=0[/tex]

Equating it with

[tex]ax^2 +bx +c=0[/tex]

We find:

a = 1, b = - 5, c = 4

[tex] b^2 - 4ac =(-5)^2 - 4(1)(4)= 25-16 =9[/tex]

[tex] x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} [/tex]

[tex] x=\frac{-(-5)\pm \sqrt{9}}{2\times 1} [/tex]

[tex] x=\frac{5\pm 3}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x=\frac{5+3}{2}, \: x =\frac{5-3}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x=\frac{8}{2}, \: x =\frac{2}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x=4, \: x =1 [/tex]

When x = 4, radius (r) = 4 - 1 = 3

When x = 1, radius (r) = 1 - 1 = 0, which is not possible.
