A researcher believes that 9% of males smoke cigarettes. If the researcher is correct, what is the probability that the proportion of smokers in a sample of 664 males would differ from the population proportion by greater than 3%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0070 = 0.70% probability that the proportion of smokers in a sample of 664 males would differ from the population proportion by greater than 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

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

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

A researcher believes that 9% of males smoke cigarettes.

This means that [tex]p = 0.09[/tex]

Sample of 664

This means that [tex]n = 664[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.09[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.09*0.91}{664}} = 0.011[/tex]

What is the probability that the proportion of smokers in a sample of 664 males would differ from the population proportion by greater than 3%?

Proportion below 9 - 3 = 6% or above 9 + 3 = 12%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, so we find one of them and multiply by 2.

Probability the proportion is below 6%

P-value of Z when X = 0.06. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.06 - 0.09}{0.011}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.7[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.7[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0035

2*0.0035 = 0.0070

0.0070 = 0.70% probability that the proportion of smokers in a sample of 664 males would differ from the population proportion by greater than 3%

Consider a study conducted to determine the average protein intake among an adult population. Suppose that a confidence level of 85% is required with an interval about 10 units wide . If a preliminary data indicate a standard deviation of 20g . What sample of adults should be selected for the study?​

Answers

Answer:

With an ageing population, dietary approaches to promote health and independence later in life are needed. In part, this can be achieved by maintaining muscle mass and strength as people age. New evidence suggests that current dietary recommendations for protein intake may be insufficient to achieve this goal and that individuals might benefit by increasing their intake and frequency of consumption of high-quality protein. However, the environmental effects of increasing animal-protein production are a concern, and alternative, more sustainable protein sources should be considered. Protein is known to be more satiating than other macronutrients, and it is unclear whether diets high in plant proteins affect the appetite of older adults as they should be recommended for individuals at risk of malnutrition. The review considers the protein needs of an ageing population (>40 years old), sustainable protein sources, appetite-related implications of diets high in plant proteins, and related areas for future research.

A gift box shown below is packed with small cubic 1/2 inch blocks. The blocks are packed tightly with no spaces between them.
A. How many blocks are in the gift box?
B. What is the volume of the gift box?
C. Find how much wrapping paper will be needed to wrap the gift box (hint: find surface area).

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the box is

9 in × 3.5 in × 4.5 in = 141.75 in³

each block is

0.5 in × 0.5 in × 0.5 in = 0.125 in³ (1/8 in³)

so, we can fit

141.75 / 0.125 = 1134

blocks into the box.

and they fit neatly, as the dimensions of the box and the cubes allow a tight packing without any empty left over space in the box.

Answer:

  k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to look at the line y=1 to see that f(0) = 1 and g(3) = 1. Then for x=3, g(3) = f(3 -k) = f(0) = 1

  k = 3

k is the amount by which the function has been shifted to the right. By comparing grid-intersection points on f(x) and g(x), we see that g(x) is 3 units to the right of f(x), so k = 3.

Many individuals over the age of 40 develop intolerance for milk and milk-based products. A dairy has developed a line of lactose-free products that are more tolerable to such individuals. To assess the potential market for these products, the dairy commissioned a market research study of individuals over 40 years old in its sales area. A random sample of 250 individuals showed that 86 of them suffer from milk intolerance. Based on the sample results, calculate a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion that suffers milk intolerance. Interpret this confidence interval. a) First, show that it is okay to use the 1-proportion z-interval. b) Calculate by hand a 90% confidence interval. c) Provide an interpretation of your confidence interval. d) If the level of confidence was 95% instead of 90%, would the resulting interval be narrower or wider

Answers

Answer:

a) To show that we can use the 1 proportion z-interval, we know that 250 ( size sample) is big enough to approximate the binomial distribution ( tolerance-intolerance) to a normal distribution.

b) See step by step explanation

CI 90 %  =  (  0,296 ; 0,392)

c) We can support that with 90 % of confidence we will find the random variable between this interval ( 0,296 ; 0,392)

d) the CI 95 % will be wider

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample Information:

Sample size n  =  250

number of people with milk intolerance  x = 86

p₁  =  86 / 250    p₁ = 0.344    and   q₁ =  1  - p₁   q₁ = 0,656

To calculate 90 % of Confidence Interval   α = 10%  α/2 = 5 %  

α/2 = 0,05     z(c) from z-table is:  z(c) =  1.6

Then:

CI 90 %  =  (  p₁  ±  z(c) * SE )

SE =  √ (p₁*q₁)/n   =  √ 0,225664/250

SE = 0,03

CI 90 %  =  (  0,344  ±  1,6* 0,03 )

CI 90 %  =  (  0,344 - 0,048 ;  0,344 + 0,048)

b) CI 90 %  =  (  0,296 ; 0,392)

a) To show that we can use the 1 proportion z-interval, we know that 250 ( size sample) is big enough to approximate the binomial distribution ( tolerance-intolerance) to a normal distribution.

c) We can support that with 90 % of confidence we will find the random variable between  this interval (  0,296 ; 0,392) .

d) CI 95 %      then significance level α = 5 %   α/2 = 2.5 %  

α/2  =  0,025      z(c) = 1.96   from z-table

SE = 0,03

And  as 1.96 > 1.6    the CI 95 % will be wider

CI 95% =  ( 0,344 ±  1.96*0,03 )

CI 95% =  (  0,344 ± 0,0588 )

CI 95% =  ( 0,2852 ; 0,4028 )

Residual Sum of Square (SSE)=250  

The value of R ^2 for this model is,  

R^2 = \frac{SSR}{SST}  

R^2 = 750/1000 =0.75

Step-by-step explanation:Side lengths of any triangle must conform to the triangle inequality theorem, which says that the sum of the lengths of any of the two sides of the triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

This means:

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

Let's check each of the options to see which set are possible lengths for a triangle:

A. 6, 5, 11

6 + 11 > 5 ===> 17 > 5

5 + 11 > 6 ===> 16 > 6

6 + 5 > 11 ===> 11 > 11 (INCORRECT. Does not confirm to tye theorem)

Therefore, this set cannot be possible side lengths for a triangle.

B. 8, 1, 2

8 + 1 > 2 ===> 9 > 2

1 + 2 > 8 ===> 3 > 8 (INCORRECT)

8 + 2 > 1 ===> 10 > 1

This set cannot be possible side lengths for a triangle.

C. 12, 8, 5

12 + 8 > 5 ===> 20 > 5

8 + 5 > 12 ===> 13 > 12

12 + 5 > 8 ===> 17 > 8

All are correct, therefore these are possible side lengths for a triangle.

find the equation of the sides of an isosceles right angled triangle whose vertex is (-2,-3) and the base is on the line x=0​

Answers

Answer:

AC:y=x-1  CB:y=-x-5 AB:x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangle. The base AB is on the line x=0, the vertex C is (-2,-3)

The side AC is equal to BC. The angle ACB is 90 degrees. If the base is on the line x=o, it is on the axis Y.Explore the distance from the point C to the AB

c(-2,-3), the distance to the axis Y is equal to the modul of the coordinate x (-2), it is 2. The coordinates of point projected by the point C to the axis Y is N(0,-3). The modul of the height is 2, the height of the isosceles triangle to the base is the bisectrix, so the angle BCA is 90/2=45degrees, CBA is 180-90-45=45 degrees too

the heigt CN is equal to side NB, NB=2

Suppose B is (0,y) (x=0 because the base is on this line)

THe modul of the vector NB is equal to sqrt ((0-0)^2+(y+3)^2)= 2

modul (y+3)= 2

y=-1 or y=-5

(0,-1), (0,-5) - two points, one of them (suppose B) is (0,-5) when A is (0,-1) (A is remote from the point N on the same distance with B, because AB is the median too)

Find CB and AC

Use the equation for AC

(x-0)/(-2-0)= (y+1)/(-3+1)

x/-2= (y+1)/-2

x=y+1

y=x-1

For CB

(x-0)/ (-2-0)= (y+5)/ (-3-(-5))

x/-2= (y+5)/2

-x=y+5

y=-x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of toppings = 4 (ground beef, black beans, refried beans, and sour cream)

The probability of choosing any particular topping at random from the four is :

Probability = required / total possible outcomes

Hence, P = 1 / 4 = 0.25

Hence, the probability of choosing : getting refried bean and sour cream :

P(refried bean) = 1/4

P(sour cream) = 1/4

P(refried bean and sour cream) = 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 =

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle y = \left(3e^{2x}-4x+1\right)^{{}^1\! / \! {}_2}[/tex]

And we want to show that:

[tex]\displaystyle y \frac{d^2y }{dx^2} + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) ^2 = 6e^{2x}[/tex]

Instead of differentiating directly, we can first square both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle y^2 = 3e^{2x} -4x + 1[/tex]

We can find the first derivative through implicit differentiation:

[tex]\displaystyle 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 6e^{2x} -4[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3e^{2x} -2}{y}[/tex]

And we can find the second derivative by using the quotient rule:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} & = \frac{(3e^{2x}-2)'(y)-(3e^{2x}-2)(y)'}{(y)^2}\\ \\ &= \frac{6ye^{2x}-\left(3e^{2x}-2\right)\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)}{y^2} \\ \\ &=\frac{6ye^{2x} -\left(3e^{2x} -2\right)\left(\dfrac{3e^{2x}-2}{y}\right)}{y^2}\\ \\ &=\frac{6y^2e^{2x}-\left(3e^{2x}-2\right)^2}{y^3}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle y\left(\frac{6y^2e^{2x}-\left(3e^{2x}-2\right)^2}{y^3}\right) + \left(\frac{3e^{2x}-2}{y}\right)^2 =6e^{2x}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{6y^2e^{2x}- \left(3e^{2x} -2\right)^2}{y^2} + \frac{\left(3e^{2x}-2\right)^2}{y^2}= 6e^{2x}[/tex]

Combine fractions:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\left(6y^2e^{2x}-\left(3e^{2x} - 2\right)^2\right) +\left(\left(3e^{2x}-2\right)^2\right)}{y^2} = 6e^{2x}[/tex]
