A group of 49 randomly selected students has a mean age of 22.4 years with a standarddeviation of 3.8. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the population mean knowing thatthe population standard deviation is 4.2 years.

Answers

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is between 21 and 23.8 years.

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 - 0.98}{2} = 0.01[/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 - 0.01 = 0.99[/tex], so Z = 2.327.

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.

[tex]M = 2.327\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{49}} = 1.4[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 22.4 - 1.4 = 21 years.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 22.4 + 1.4 = 23.8 years.

The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is between 21 and 23.8 years.

Explain how you could find the shortest distance from A(6, 5) to the line y = 5x – 10. (Use a diagram, be specific, and list all your steps.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

I cannot draw a diagram here.

but I can explain what to do in general.

the shortest distance from a point to a line is always via a connecting line that is perpendicular to the given line and his through the given point.

and then the distance from the given point to the intersection point is calculated.

every line is defined in the form like

y = ax + b

where a is the slope of the line, and b is the intersection point on the y-axis (the offset from point 0).

the slope of a line is the ratio y/x defining how many units y changes when x changes a certain amount of units.

in our example,

y = 5x - 10

5 (or rather 5/1) is the slope of the line.

it means that y grows by 5 units every time x grows by 1 unit.

a perpendicular line (cuts the original line with a 90 degree angle) has a related slope : it reverts x and y and flips the sign :

5/1 turns into -1/5

that means at the perpendicular line whenever x grows by 5 units, y goes down by 1 unit.

so, the first approach for the perpendicular line is

y = -1/5 x + b

to get b we use the given point (6, 5) that has to be in the perpendicular line.

5 = -1/5 × 6 + b

25/5 = -6/5 + b

31/5 = b

=> y = -1/5 x + 31/5

the intersecting point is now where both lines are equal

5x - 10 = -1/5 x + 31/5

25x - 50 = -x + 31

26x = 81

x = 81/26

y = 5×(81/26) - 10 = 405/26 - 260/26 = 145/26

the distance of the given point (6, 5) to the line intersection point (81/26, 145/26) is the calculated as

distance² = (6 - 81/26)² + (5 - 145/26)²

distance = sqrt((6-81/26)² + (5-145/26)²)

since the result was not requested here, I save us the calculation.

Identify the two types of incorrect decisions in a hypothesis test. For each incorrect​ decision, what symbol is used to represent the probability of making that type of​ error?

Answers

Answer:

Type I error and Type II error

Explanation:

Type I and Type II errors are statistical errors made in hypothesis testing where an accepted hypothesis is actually the false hypothesis and the other true.

Type I error occurs when the chosen hypothesis is the alternative hypothesis which is false since the null hypothesis is true. We reject the null hypothesis which is actually true.

Type II error occurs when we accept or fail to reject the null hypothesis which is false and reject the alternative hypothesis which is true.

The probability of making a Type I error is represented by your alpha level (α)(we reject when below p-value)

The probability of a type-II error is represented by β which is beta.

Assume that the Poisson distribution applies to the number of births at a particular hospital during a randomly selected day. Assume that the mean number of births per day at this hospital is 13.4224. Find the probability that in a day, there will be at least 1 birth.

Answers

Answer:

0.9999985  = 99.99985% probability that in a day, there will be at least 1 birth.

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.

Assume that the mean number of births per day at this hospital is 13.4224.

This means that [tex]\mu = 13.4224[/tex]

Find the probability that in a day, there will be at least 1 birth.

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-13.4224}*13.4224^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0000015[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0000015 = 0.9999985 [/tex]

0.9999985  = 99.99985% probability that in a day, there will be at least 1 birth.

if one half of a number is 5 more than 6, what is the value when the number is tripled

Answers

Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

let's use x to represent the unknown number

1/2x is 5 more than 6:

1/2x=5+6

solve to find x

1/2x=11

x=22

next, it asks us what is the value of the number when the number is tripled

since we already found what x is equal to, we can multiply that by 3 to figure out its value when it's tripled

3(22)=66

Using mathematical equation to model the scenario, the value of the number when tripled is 66

Let the number = n

0.5n = 5 + 6

0.5n = 11

Divide both sides by 0.5

n = 22

When n is tripled :

n = 22 × 3

n = 66

Hence, the value of the number when tripled is 66

The length of a rectangle is 2 centimeters less than three times its width. Its area is 21 square centimeters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. Use the​ formula, area=length*width.

Answers

Area = length x width

Area = 21 square cm

Width = x

Length = 3x + 2

21 = 3x+ 2 * x

21 = 3x ^2 + 2x

Subtract 21 from both sides:

3x^2 + 2x -21 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

-2 +/- sqrt(2^2-4*3(-21))/(2*3)

X = 7/3 and -3

A dimension can’t be a negative value so x needs to be 7/3

Width = x = 7/3 = 2 1/3 cm

Length = 3(7/3) + 2 = 9 cm

Check: 9 x 2 1/3 = 21

Dimensions: width 2 1/3 cm length 9 cm

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangle are 7 by 3 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the length of a rectangle is two centimeters less than three times its width. In other words:

[tex]\displaystyle \ell = 3w-2[/tex]

Given that the area of the rectangle is 21 square centimeters, we want to determine the dimensions of the rectangle.

Recall that the area of a rectangle is given by:

[tex]A= w\ell[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex](21)=w(3w-2)[/tex]

Solve foro the width. Distribute:

[tex]3w^2-2w=21[/tex]

Isolate the equation:

[tex]3w^2-2w-21=0[/tex]

Factor. Find two numbers that multiply to 3(-21) = -63 and add to -2.

-9 and 7 suffice. Hence:

[tex]3w^2-9w+7w-21=0 \\ \\ 3w(w-3)+7(w-3) = 0 \\ \\ (3w+7)(w-3)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]3w+7=0\text{ or } w-3=0[/tex]

Solve for each case. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle w = -\frac{7}{3}\text{ or } w=3[/tex]

Since width cannot be negative, we can ignore the first solution.

Therefore, our width is three centimeters.

And since the length is two less than three times the width, the length is:

[tex]\ell = 3(3) - 2 = 7[/tex]

The dimensions of the rectangle are 7 by 3 centimeters.

D. A = 40.4 , B = 49.6 , c = 9.2

Answers

Answer:

C. A = 40.4 , B = 49.6 , c = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to get the c using the pythagoras theorem;

c² = a²+b²

c² = 14.9²+17.5²

c²  = 222.01 + 306.25

c² = 528.26

c = 22.98

c ≈ 23

Using the sin rule;

a/Sin<A  = c/sin<C

14.9/sin<A = 23/sin90

14.9/sin<A = 23

sin<A = 14.9/23

sin <A = 0.6478

<A = arcsin(0.6478)

<A = 40.4degrees

Also, <A + <B + <C = 180

40.4 + <B + 90 = 180

<B = 180 - 130.4

<B = 49.6degrees

Answer:

I think the area is 60 but i couldn't figure out the perimeter, sorry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

perimeter = 36 m

area = 60 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

there is some missing information. for example about the types of the shapes. e.g. if the triangle on the top is an isosceles triangle (2 equal sides). or if the rectangle at the bottom is actually a square with 6 m on all sides. in order to make the sloped side of the top triangle a round, whole number, i assume that the bottom part is a square.

so, the area of this combined shape is the area of the bottom square plus the area of the top triangle.

area square As = 6×6 = 36 m²

so, one side of the triangle is also 6 m, the other is 14-6 = 8 m.

the area of such a right-angled triangle is half of the full rectangle of 6×8.

area triangle At = 6×8/2 = 48/2 = 24 m²

total area = As + At = 36 + 24 = 60 m²

the perimeter of the total shape is the sum of all sides.

so, 14, 6, 6 and ... the baseline/ Hypotenuse of the top triangle.

for that r need the mentioned Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

where a and b are the sides, and c is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

so, in our case of an isosceles triangle with a 90 degree angle :

c² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100

c = 10 m

so, the perimeter is

14+6+6+10 = 36 m

Answer:

$836.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Average price = mean = $965

Standard deviation, = $100

Given that distribution is approximately normal ;

The least expensive 10% of the laptops :

We Obtain the Zscore that corresponds to P(Z ≤ 0.1) ; this means the least 10% of the laptops ;

From, a normal probability distribution table ;

P(Z ≤ 0.1) = - 1.282

We substitute this into the Zscore formula :

Zscore = (x - mean ) / standard deviation

x = price

-1.282 = (x - 965) / 100

-128.2 = (x - 965)

x = - 128.2 + 965

x = $836.8

Hence, price is $836.8
