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.

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Statement D is true:

Rationale: m<4 is more than 90°, while m<2 is less than 90°. Therefore m<4 is greater than m<2

✔️Statement E is true:

Rationale: m<4 is more than 90°, while m<1 is less than 90°. Therefore m<4 is greater than m<1

✔️Statement F is true:

Rationale:

m<4 is an external angle of the triangle.

m<1 and m<2 are interior angles that are opposite to m<4. Therefore, based on the external angle theorem of a triangle,

m<4 = m<1 + m<2

Why is the number of operators per shift multiplied by approximately 4.5 to obtain the total number of operators required to run the plant

Answers

I believe you meant "why is the number of shifts multiplied by approximately 4.5 to obtain the total number of operators required to run the plant"

Answer and Explanation:

There are 3 shifts per day, 49 weeks per year and 5 shifts per operator per week

To get total number of operators required to run the plant, we multiply number of shifts in a year by number if operators per shift.

49 weeks×5 shifts= 245 shifts per operator per year

365×3 shifts= 1095 shifts per year

1095/245=4.5 operators per shift

total number of operators required to run the plant(per day) = 4.5×3= 13.5 approximately 14

total number of operators required to run the plant(per year) =4.5×1095=4927.5 approximately 4928

Answers

Answer:

Good sampling technique

Step-by-step explanation:

In other to determine the mean value for a population, it may be necessary to make inference from the a small subset of the population, called the sample, if it is impossible, difficult or inefficient to get all population data. Hence, in other to select a subset of the population, then the sample must be selected at random, such that all elements of the population have equal chances of being selected and hence, be representative of the population. Since, the sampling technique adopted above is done at random, hence, it is a good sampling technique.

A family eats out at a restaurant and the total for their meals is $73.89. They also pay sales tax of 5.8% and leave a tip for their server. If the family leaves a total of $93, which of the following might be a description of the service they received?
a.
They left a 10% tip, so the service was probably below average.
b.
They left a 15% tip, so the service was probably average.
c.
They left a 20% tip, so the service was probably above average.
d.
They left a 25% tip, so the service was probably outstanding.

Answers

C. 20%

$73.89 • 5.8% = 4.29
73.89 + 4.29 = 78.18
78.18 • 20% = 15.636 so 15.64
78.18 + 15.64 = 93.82
Hope it helps

The answer is They left a 20% tip, so the service was probably above average.

What is percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%", although the abbreviations "pct.", "pct" and sometimes "pc" are also used. A percentage is a dimensionless number; it has no unit of measurement.

here, we have,

First step is to the amount of the sales tax.

If 100% is $73.89,

5.8% will be x (tax):

100% : $73.89 = 5.8% : x.

x = $73.89 * 5.8% : 100%.

x = $4.28.

Now, we have the price for meals, sales tax, and the total amount of money left, so we can calculate how much the tip is:

$93.00 - $73.89 - $4.28 = $14.83.

So, the tip is $14.83.

Let represent it as percent.

If $73.89 is 100%, $14.83 will be x.

$73.89 : 100% = $14.83 : x.

x = $14.83 * 100% : $73.89.

x = 20%.

So, they left a 20% tip, so the service was probably above average.

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.

you really need help with this ? you cannot just use your calculator ? that would have been faster than putting that question in here ...

remember, similar to the number positions in front of the decimal point, it is equally important to add the same positions after the decimal point.

we have 10th, 100th, 1000th, 10000th, 100000th, ... no end possible.

so we have

2.826 miles

and need to add 1.46 miles

2.826

1.46

----------

4.286

and the line of thinking goes from right to left

nothing plus 6 is 6

6 plus 2 is 8

4 plus 8 is 12, so we write 2 and carry over the 1

1 plus 2 plus 1 carry over is 4

if it helps, you can always add zeroes at the end of any digits after the decimal point, as you can also add zeroes in front to the digits before the decimal point to make both numbers have the same length and their decimal points are perfectly aligned.

our addition could have also looked like

1.460

t8 = a1 + (n - 1)*d

t8 = 17

17 = a1 + 7*d

t12 = 25

25 = a1 + 11d

17 = a1 + 7d Subtract

8 = 4d Divide by 4

8/4 = 4d/4

2 = d

17 = a1 + 7d

17 = a1 + 7*2

17 = a1 + 14 Subtract 14

3 = a1

Sum 20 terms

The 20 term = a1 + 19*2

The 20 term = 3 + 38

= 41

Sum = (a1 + a20) * 20 / 2
