A manufacturer of golf equipment wishes to estimate the number of left-handed golfers. A previous study indicates that the proportion of left-handed golfers is 8%. How large a sample is needed in order to be 98% confident that the sample proportion will not differ from the true proportion by more than 2%?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample of 997 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

A previous study indicates that the proportion of left-handed golfers is 8%.

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.08[/tex]

98% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].  

How large a sample is needed in order to be 98% confident that the sample proportion will not differ from the true proportion by more than 2%?

This is n for which M = 0.02. So

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.02 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.02\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 996.3[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 997 is needed.

You play a game where you roll a single die. You pay $1 to play, and the payouts are $0.50 if you roll an
even number, $2 if you roll a 1, and $1 if you roll a 3 or 5. What are the odds for winning money if you play this game? Show your work and Explain.

Answers

Let W be the random variable representing your winnings from playing the game. Then

[tex]P(W=w)=\begin{cases}\text{prob. of rolling an even number}=\frac12&\text{if }w=\$0.50-\$1=-\$0.50\\\text{prob. of rolling a 1}=\frac16&\text{if }w=\$2-\$1=\$1\\\text{prob. of rolling 3 or 5}=\frac13&\text{if }w=\$1-\$1=\$0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

In short, you have a 1/6 chance of profiting from the game, and a 5/6 chance of losing money. So the odds of winning are (1/6)/(5/6) = 1/5 or 1 to 5.

An ice cream store determines the cost of its sundaes by using the formula C = 0.50s + 0.35n + 0.25t, where C is the total cost in dollars, s is the number of scoops of ice cream, n is the number of scoops of nuts, and t is the number of liquid toppings. A Nutty Sundae costs $3.55. It has 3 scoops of nuts and 2 different liquid toppings. How many scoops of ice cream are in this sundae?

Answers

Answer:

4 scoops of ice cream

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the total cost, number of scoops of nuts, and number of liquid toppings into the formula. Then, solve for s:

C = 0.50s + 0.35n + 0.25t

3.55 = 0.50s + 0.35(3) + 0.25(2)

3.55 = 0.50s + 1.05 + 0.5

3.55 = 0.50s + 1.55

2 = 0.50s

4 = s

So, the sundae had 4 scoops of ice cream.

Shelly believes the honor roll students at her school have an unfair advantage in being assigned to the math class they request. She asked 500 students at her school the following questions: "Are you on the honor roll?" and "Did you get the math class you requested?" The results are shown in the table below:

Honor roll Not on honor roll Total
Received math class requested 125 215 340
Did not get math class requested 80 80 160
Total 205 295 500

Help Shelly determine if all students at her school have an equal opportunity to get into the math class they requested. Show your work, and explain your process for determining the fairness of the class assignment process.

Answers

Answer: No, there isn't equal opportunity

======================================================

Explanation:

Let's define the two events

A = person is on the honor rollB = person got the math class they requested

From the table, we see that

P(B) = 340/500 = 0.68

meaning that there's a 68% chance of picking someone who got the class they wanted (i.e. 68% of the people got the class they wanted)

------------

Now let's assume that the person is on the honor roll. This means we only focus on the "honor roll" column. There are 125 people here that got the class they wanted out of 205 honor roll students total.

So,

P(B given A) = 125/205 = 0.609756

which rounds to 0.61

This says that if a person is on the honor roll, then they have roughly a 61% chance of getting the class they want.

The chances have gone down from 68% to 61% roughly.

------------

It appears that being on the honor roll does affect your chances of getting into the class you want.

Therefore, all students do not have the same equal opportunity.

We would need to have P(B) and P(A given B) to be the same exact value for true equal opportunity to happen.

All students do not have equal opportunity.

From the table, we have the following parameters:

205 people are on honor roll call340 people got the math class requested500 people were surveyed

The above means that:

The probability that a person is on honor roll call is:

p1 = 205/500

p1 = 0.41

The probability that a person got the math class requested

p2 = 340/500

p2 = 0.68

Both probabilities are not equal.

Hence, it is true that all students do not have equal opportunity.

you need simple trigonometry to solve it

cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse

cos(42.2) is about 0.74

so X / Hypotenuse = 0.74

represents the year. Based on the regression equation, which year is the best
prediction for when 1206 people will attend graduate school?
A. Year 15
B. Year 18
C. Year 24
D. Year 20

Answers

Answer:

15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic regression model:

y = 8x² - 40x+6 ; where

y = Number of people attending graduate school ;

x = number of years

The value of x when y = 1206

The equation becomes :

1206 = 8x² - 40x+6

1206 - 6 = 8x² - 40x

1200 = 8x² - 40x

Divide through by 8

150 = x² - 5x

x² - 5x - 150 = 0

x² - 15x + 10x - 150 = 0

x(x - 15) + 10(x - 15)

x - 15 = 0 or x + 10 = 0

x = 15 or x = - 10

Number of years can't be negative,

Hence, x = 15 years

A 100.0 m long polymer cable of uniform circular cross section and of diameter 0.4cm has a mass of 1885.0 gm. What is the mass density, of the polymer in kg/m3?

Answers

The answer is option b.15

Don't forget put heart ♥️

The mass density in kg/m3 will be -  15 x [tex]10^{-2}[/tex] Kg/m3.

We have a 100.0 m long polymer cable of uniform circular cross section and of diameter 0.4cm has a mass of 1885.0 gm.

We have to determine its mass density in kg/m3.

What is Mass density ?

The amount of mass per unit volume present in the body is called its mass density.

According to question, we have -

Length of polymer cable = 100.0 m

diameter of polymer cable = 0.4 cm = 0.004 m

Therefore, its radius = 0.002 m

The mass density of the wire will be -

[tex]\rho =\frac{m}{\pi r^{2} l}[/tex]

[tex]\rho[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1885}{3.14 \times0.002 \times 0.002 \times 100 }[/tex]

[tex]\rho = \frac{1885}{0.001256}[/tex] = 1500796.1 g/m3

1 Kg = 1000g

1g = 1/1000kg

1500796.1g = 1500.7 Kg = 15 x [tex]10^{-2}[/tex] Kg

Therefore, mass density = 15 x [tex]10^{-2}[/tex] Kg/m3

Hence, the mass density in kg/m3 will be -  15 x [tex]10^{-2}[/tex] Kg/m3.

For Americans using library services, the American Library Association claims that at most 67% of patrons borrow books. The library director in Owensboro, Kentucky feels this is not true, so she asked a local college statistic class to conduct a survey. The class randomly selected 100 patrons and found that 82 borrowed books. Did the class demonstrate that the percentage was higher in Owensboro, KY? Use α = 0.01 level of significance. What is the possible proportion of patrons that do borrow books from the Owensboro Library?

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0007 < 0.01, which means that the class demonstrates that the percentage was higher in Owensboro, KY.

The possible proportion of patrons that do borrow books from the Owensboro Library is 0.82.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Americans using library services, the American Library Association claims that at most 67% of patrons borrow books. Test if the proportion is higher in Owensboro, KY.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of at most 0.67, that is:

[tex]H_0: p \leq 0.67[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of more than 0.67, that is:

[tex]H_1: p > 0.67[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.67 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.67, \sigma = \sqrt{0.67*0.33}[/tex]

The class randomly selected 100 patrons and found that 82 borrowed books.

This means that [tex]n = 100, X = \frac{82}{100} = 0.82[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.82 - 0.67}{\frac{\sqrt{0.67*0.33}}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 3.19[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of a finding a sample proportion of 0.82 or above, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 3.19.

Looking at the z-table, z = 3.19 has a p-value of 0.9993.

1 - 0.9993 = 0.0007

The p-value of the test is 0.0007 < 0.01, which means that the class demonstrates that the percentage was higher in Owensboro, KY.

What is the possible proportion of patrons that do borrow books from the Owensboro Library?

The sample proportion of 0.82.

This quarter she has 22 students in her class. What is the probability that 6 students or more will score an "A" on the final exam?

prob =

Answers

0.1449 = 14.49% probability that 6 students or more will score an "A" on the final exam.

---------------

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they score an A, or they do not. The probability of a student scoring an A is independent of any other student, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Additionally, to find the proportion of students who scored an A, the normal distribution is used.

----------------

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  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 a success.

----------------

Normal Probability Distribution

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

In a set with mean and standard deviation , 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.

----------------

Proportion of students that scored an A:

Scores have a mean of 79 and a standard deviation of 11.3, which means that [tex]\mu = 79, \sigma = 11.3[/tex]

Scores of 90 or higher are graded an A, which means that the proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 90, so:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{90 - 79}{11.3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.97[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.97[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8340.

1 - 0.8340 = 0.166

The proportion of students that scored an A is 0.166.

----------------

Probability that 6 students or more will score an "A" on the final exam:

Binomial distribution.

22 students, which means that [tex]n = 22[/tex]

The proportion of students that scored an A is 0.166, which means that [tex]p = 0.166[/tex]

The probability is:

[tex]P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)[/tex]

Then

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{22,0}.(0.166)^{0}.(0.834)^{22} = 0.0184[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{22,1}.(0.166)^{1}.(0.834)^{21} = 0.0807[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{22,2}.(0.166)^{2}.(0.834)^{20} = 0.1687[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{22,3}.(0.166)^{3}.(0.834)^{19} = 0.2239[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{22,4}.(0.166)^{4}.(0.834)^{18} = 0.2117[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{22,5}.(0.166)^{5}.(0.834)^{17} = 0.1517[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0184 + 0.0807 + 0.1687 + 0.2239 + 0.2117 + 0.1517 = 0.8551[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.8551 = 0.1449[/tex]

Thus

0.1449 = 14.49% probability that 6 students or more will score an "A" on the final exam.

The value of n is 18.75. To find the value of n, we need to solve the equation: 124n = 232 five

Let's first convert "232 five" into a numerical value:

"232 five" means 2325 (since five is in the units place).

Now, the equation becomes:

124n = 2325

To solve for n, divide both sides of the equation by 124:

n = 2325 / 124

Now, perform the division:

n = 18.75

So, the value of n is 18.75.
