We intend to estimate the average driving time of a group of commuters. From a previous study, we believe that the average time is 42 minutes with a standard deviation of 10 minutes. We want our 90 percent confidence interval to have a margin of error of no more than plus or minus 2 minutes. What is the smallest sample size that we should consider

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The smallest sample size that we should consider is 68.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

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

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation of 10 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 10[/tex]

What is the smallest sample size that we should consider?

This is n for which M = 2. So

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

[tex]2 = 1.645\frac{10}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{n} = 1.645*10[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.645*5[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.645*5)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 67.7[/tex]

Rounding up:

The smallest sample size that we should consider is 68.

Orders arrive at a Web site according to a Poisson process with a mean of 11 per hour. Determine the following: a) Probability of no orders in five minutes. Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765). Enter your answer in accordance to the item a) of the question statement b) Probability of 3 or more orders in five minutes. Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765). Enter your answer in accordance to the item b) of the question statement c) Length of a time interval such that the probability of no orders in an interval of this length is 0.001. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.39984 = 39.984% probability of no orders in five minutes.

b) 0.06563 = 6.563% probability of 3 or more orders in five minutes.

c) The length of time is 0.63 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

Orders arrive at a Web site according to a Poisson process with a mean of 11 per hour.

This means that [tex]\mu = 11h[/tex], in which h is the number of hours.

a) Probability of no orders in five minutes.

Five minutes means that [tex]h = \frac{5}{60} = \frac{1}{12}[/tex], so [tex]\mu = \frac{11}{12} = 0.9167[/tex]

This probability is P(X = 0). So

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.39984[/tex]

0.39984 = 39.984% probability of no orders in five minutes.

b) Probability of 3 or more orders in five minutes.

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.39984[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.36653[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.168[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.39984 + 0.36653 + 0.168 = 0.93437[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.93437 = 0.06563[/tex]

0.06563 = 6.563% probability of 3 or more orders in five minutes.

c) Length of a time interval such that the probability of no orders in an interval of this length is 0.001.

This is h for which:

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.001[/tex]

We have that:

[tex]P(X = 0) = e^{-\mu}[/tex]

And

[tex]\mu = 11h[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.001[/tex]

[tex]e^{-11h} = 0.001[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-11h}} = \ln{0.001}[/tex]

[tex]-11h = \ln{0.001}[/tex]

[tex]h =-\frac{\ln{0.001}}{11}[/tex]

[tex]h = 0.63[/tex]

The length of time is 0.63 hours

Time (minutes)
Amount of Water
1
150
3
100
6
25

Answers

Answer is 175

_________

There are 175 cubic unit initially in the tank

How to determine the initial amount of water?

The table of values is given as:

Time (minutes)     Amount of Water

1                              150

3                             100

6                             25

Calculate the slope (m) of the table using:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

This gives

m = (100 - 150)/(3 -1)

Evaluate

m = -25

This means that as the time increases by 1, the amount of the water reduces by 25 cubic unit

When x = 1, y = 150

So, we have:

x = 1 - 1 when y = 150 - (-25)

This gives

x = 0 when y = 175

Hence, there are 175 cubic unit initially in the tank

Answers

Answer:

x = P/2m

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the subject of the formula, and we can express it as: x = P / (2m)

How make x the subject

To make x the subject in the formula P = 2mx, we can rearrange the equation to isolate x on one side.

Starting with the equation:

P = 2mx

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 2m:

P / (2m) = (2mx) / (2m)

This simplifies to:

P / (2m) = x

Therefore, x is the subject of the formula, and we can express it as:

x = P / (2m)
