3. university dean of students wishes to estimate the average number of hours students spend doing homework per week. The standard deviation from a previous study is 4 hours. How large a sample must be selected if he wants to be 96% confident of finding whether the true mean differs from the sample mean by 2 hours

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample of 17 must be selected.

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 - 0.96}{2} = 0.02[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.02 = 0.98[/tex], so Z = 2.054.

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.

The standard deviation from a previous study is 4 hours.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 4[/tex]

How large a sample must be selected if he wants to be 96% confident of finding whether the true mean differs from the sample mean by 2 hours?

A sample of n is required.

n is found for M = 2. So

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

[tex]2 = 2.054\frac{4}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{n} = 2.054*4[/tex]

Simplifying both sides by 2:

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 2.054*2[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (2.054*2)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 16.88[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 17 must be selected.

round 3,236 to the nearest hundred

Answers

Answer:

3,200

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is less than 5 so you round down to 3,200

3,200. You’re asked to the nearest hundred so you focus on 3 only. Since 3 is less than 5, it becomes 0. So 3,236 to the nearest hundred is 3,200.

A boy leaves station X on a bearing of 035' to station Y. which is 21km away. He then travels to another station Z on a bearing of 125 degrees . If Z is directly East of X, what is the distance from X to his present position?​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  36.6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the initial bearing of the boy is 35°. Then he will make a 90° turn to a heading of 125°. A diagram shows the distance of interest is the hypotenuse of a right triangle in which 35° is the angle opposite the side of length 21 km.

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(35°) = (21 km)/XZ

  XZ = (21 km)/sin(35°) ≈ 36.61 km

The distance from X to Z is about 36.61 km.

_____

The attached diagram has the angles measured in the usual way for a Cartesian plane: CCW from the +x axis. This will correspond to bearing measures if we relabel the axes so that +x is North, and +y is East.

Consider a relation on the set of all states in the United States given by: two states are related if they have a border in common. Is it an equivalence relation

Answers

Answer:

Yes it is an equivalence relation

Explanation:

An equivalence relation is a binary relation between two values that are symmetric, transitive and reflexive. In other words, when we say a value x is equal(using "=") to a value y, there is an equivalence relation between them.

Example, given set {x, y, z} where ~ means equivalence:

x ~ y if y ~ z means symmetric

since x ~ y and y ~ z, then x ~ z means transitive

x ~ x means reflexive

Equivalence relations share a common attribute or attributes(example, a satisfying condition)

The above condition that two states are related from the set of all US states if they have a border in common satisfies the condition of equivalence listed hence it is an equivalence relation.

The diagram below is divided into equal parts. Which fraction of the parts is white?

A diagram is divided into 4 blue parts and 3 white parts.
Three-sevenths
Four-sevenths
Three-fourths
Four-thirds

Answers

Answer: This problem is a fraction since we have several equal parts that make up one whole. The problem asks us to talk about the relationship of white pieces to the whole. Since we know the whole is made up of 7 pieces (4 blue parts and 3 white parts = 7 total parts), then 7 will be our denominator (number on the bottom of the fraction).

Now that we have our number on the bottom, we need to look back at the question to carefully decide what parts of the whole we are looking at. The question wants to know how many of the parts are white. We know that 3 of the parts are white, so that is our numerator (number of the top of the fraction).

Our final answer is 3/7 or "three-sevenths." Said another way, three of the seven pieces are white.

Find two positive numbers whose product is 64 and whose sum is a minimum. (If both values are the same number, enter it into both blanks.) (smaller number) (larger number)

Answers

Answer:

Both the numbers are 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers are p and 64/p.

The sum is given by

[tex]S = p +\frac{64}{p}\\\\\frac{dS}{dp}= 1 - \frac{64}{p^2}\\\\\frac{dS}{dp}=0\\\\\frac{64}{p^2}=1\\\\p= \pm 8[/tex]

So, the sum is minimum for p = 8 0r - 8, so the two numbers 8.

Perpendicular lines are

Distance around an unmarked circle can
be measured

Answers

Answer:

1) Parallel lines are "ALWAYS"

coplanar.

2) Perpendicular lines ARE "ALWAYS"

coplanar.

3) Distance around an unmarked circle CAN "NEVER" be measured

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Coplanar means lines that lie in the same plane. Now, for a line to be parallel to another line, it must lie in the same plane as the other line otherwise it is no longer a parallel line. Thus, parallel lines are always Coplanar.

2) similar to point 1 above, perpendicular lines are Coplanar. This is because perpendicular lines intersect each other at right angles and it means they must exist in the same plane for that to happen. Thus, they are always Coplanar.

3) to have the distance, we need to have the circle marked out. Because it is from the marked out circle that we can measure radius, diameter and find other distances around the circle. Thus, distance around an unmarked circle can never be measured.

Weight % of Total Underweight 2.5 Satisfactory 90.0 Overweight 7.5a) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight?b) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.000016 = 0.0016% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight.

b) 0.729 = 72.9% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory

Step-by-step explanation:

The condition of the bags in the sample is independent of the other bags, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

a) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight?

2.5% are overweight, which means that [tex]p = 0.025[/tex]

3 bags means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

This probability is P(X = 3). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.025)^{3}.(0.975)^{0} = 0.000016[/tex]

0.000016 = 0.0016% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight.

b) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory?

90% are satisfactory, which means that [tex]p = 0.9[/tex]

3 bags means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

This probability is P(X = 3). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.9)^{3}.(0.1)^{0} = 0.729[/tex]

0.729 = 72.9% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory
