A soft drink manufacturer wishes to know how many soft drinks adults drink each week. They want to construct a 95% confidence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 3.1 soft drinks per week and found the variance to be 0.49. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 295.

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 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/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 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

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.

Variance of 0.49:

This means that [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{0.49} = 0.7[/tex]

They want to construct a 95% confidence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval?

The minimum sample size is n for which M = 0.08. So

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

[tex]0.08 = 1.96\frac{0.7}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.08\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.7[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.7}{0.08}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.7}{0.08})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 294.1[/tex]

Rounding up:

The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 295.

Answer:

  B) False

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles are similar when their angles are the same measures. Because the angles sum to 180°, we only need to show that 2 angles of one triangle are equal to 2 angles of the other triangle.

All three of the angles of the first triangle are given: 20°, 40°, 120°.

One of the angles of the second triangle matches: 40°; but the other angle (80°) doesn't match either of 20° or 120°.

The angles aren't the same, so the triangles are not similar.

__

If we want to go to the trouble, we can figure the third angle of the second triangle. It is 180° -40° -80° = 60°.

Then the angles in the two triangles, listed smallest to largest, are ...

  20°, 40°, 120°

  40°, 60°, 80°

It is clear the angles of these triangles are not the same.

The 3rd and 7th terms of an arithmetic progression are 6and 30 respectively determine the common difference, first term,10th term.​

Answers

Answer:

d = 6 , a₁ = - 6 and a₁₀ = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic progression is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₃ = 6 and a₇ = 30 , then

a₁ + 2d = 6 → (1)

a₁ + 6d = 30 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate a₁

4d = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

d = 6

Substitute d = 6 into (1)

a₁ + 2(6) = 6

a₁ + 12 = 6 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

a₁ = - 6

Then

a₁₀ = - 6 + (9 × 6) = - 6 + 54 = 48

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

Answer:

d=6

a=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula for the nth term which is

Tn=a+(n-1)d..you will have to create two equations then solve them as a simultaneous equation

T3=6 and T7=30

T3=a+(3-1)d

6=a+2d........... first equation

T7=a+(7-1)d

30=a+6d.......... second equation

then solve them as a simultaneous equation

a+2d=6

a+6d=30

-4d/-4=-24/-4

d=6

a+2d=6

a+2(6)=6

a=6-12

a=-6

Answers

Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{20}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

[tex]\frac{JH}{PQ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{FM}{ST}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{6}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{3y-2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

6(3y - 2) = 28

18y - 12 = 28 ( add 12 to both sides )

18y = 40 ( divide both sides by 18 )

y = [tex]\frac{40}{18}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{20}{9}[/tex]

Answer:

20/9

Step-by-step explanation:

since the 2 are similar,

JH/PQ = FM/ST

6/4 = 7/(3y-2)

6(3y-2) = 7*4

18y-12=28

18y = 40

y = 40/18 = 20/9 = 2 2/9

Answer:

128/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6, 2/3, 8/3, . . .

1/6, 4/6, 16/6

We are multiplying by 4 each time

1/6 *4 = 4/6

4/6 * 4 = 16/6

This is a geometric sequence with the common ratio of 4

an = a1 (r)^(n-1)

an = 1/6 (4) ^(n-1)

Let n = 5

a5 = 1/6 (4)^(5-1)

a5 = 1/6 (4)^4

a5 = 1/6 * 256

Eleanor scores 680 on the mathematics part of the SAT. The distribution of SAT math scores in recent years has been Normal with mean 527 and standard deviation 118.

4. Assuming that both tests measure the same kind of ability, who has the higher score?
i. Gerald.
ii. Elanor.
iii. They both did equally well.

Answers

Answer:

1. Elanor's standardized score is  1.19

2. Gerald's standardized score is 0.72

3. Elanor has higher score.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare Elanor's and Gerald's math scores, we need to standardize them and calculate their z-scores.

z score can be calculated using the formula

z=X-M over 8 where

X is the student's score

M is the mean score of the exam

s is the standard deviation of the exam

Elanor's standardized score is:

z(e) =680-554 over 106 ≈ 1.19

         

Gerald's standardized score is:

z(g)= 27 - 24.7 over 3.2 ≈ 0.72

Since z(e) > z(g), Elanor has higher score

There is a language with 12 distinct letters. How many words that are less than four letters long can possibly be formed? (Assume any combination of letters is valid and letters can be repeated). Can you help me out with this one?

Answers

Answer:

1884

Step-by-step explanation:

1)If you hear the condition "less than four letters" it means that each word can consist of 3,2 or 1 letter. Firstly, consider the easiest situation with the word from one letter. There are 12 letters, so there are 12 words from one letter.

Then the words from two letters. The first letter of such a word can be chosen in 12 means(because 12 letters are available), then the second letter can be chosen in 12 means too. 12*12=144 words with 2 letters. (Multiplying, not adding, because each two words form one combination).

Then for the words from three letters, use the same rule, 12 means for the first letter, 12 means for the second letter, 12 means for the third letter. 12*12*12=1728 words.

Having particular words from 1,2,3 letters add them to get total quantity of words: 12+144+1728=1884words,that is the answer.

Which equation represents a slope of −4 and y-intercept of (0,2)?
y = −4x + 2
y = −2x
y = −2x − 4
y = 4x + 2

Answers

Answer:

y=-4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find out which equation represents a line with a slope of -4 and a y intercept of (0,2)

The most common way to write the equation of the line is in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We have everything we need to plug into the equation, let's just label the values to avoid confusion

m=-4

b=2 (when you substitute the y intercept as b, b is the value of y in the point)

Now substitute into the equation

y=-4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use point slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Plug in the given slope and point:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 7 = 11(x - 5)

So, the correct answer is D. y - 7 = 11(x - 5)
