A 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 6.2 hours. How large a sample must be selected if he wants to be 99% confident of finding whether the true mean differs from the sample mean by 1.5 hours

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Sample Size Need To be at least 114

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given, A 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 6.2 hours.

The Maximum Error(E) is given as 1.5 hours and the standard deviation(σ) is 6.2 hours.

Now, For 99% Confident the level of value α is 0.01.

α/2 = 0.01/2 ⇒ 0.005

Thus, From The table, We get that the value of [tex]Z_{alpha/2}[/tex] is 2.58.

Hence, the sample size n can be found as

n = {[tex]\frac{(Z_{alpha/2} * Standard Deviation)}{E}[/tex]}²

n = {2.58 × 6.2}² / 1.5²

n = 113.72 .

So, The Sample Size Need To be at least 114.

QUESTION 6 The scale on a map is given as 1 : 320,000. If the distance between the top of the two mountains on the map is 6.8cm, what is the actual distance in kilometres between the two tops of the mountain. ? show working out to prove answer.​

Answers

Answer:

The actual distance is of 21.76 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale problems are solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

The scale on a map is given as 1 : 320,000

This means that each unit on the map represents 320,000 units of distance.

Distance between the top of the two mountains on the map is 6.8cm

Then

1 cm - 320,000 cm

6.8 cm - x

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]x = 6.8*320000 = 2176000[/tex]

Distance in kilometers

To convert from centimeters to kilometers, we divide by 100000. So

2176000/100000 = 21.76

The actual distance is of 21.76 kilometers.

Answers

Answer:

mKML+mMLK=mJKM

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are scalene, acute, obtuse, equilateral, isosceles, and right triangle.

As shown in the diagram, polygon MLK is a triangle. The sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°, hence:

m∠MLK + m∠KML + m∠MKL = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle).

m∠MKL = 180 -  (m∠MLK + m∠KML)      (1)

Also along line JL, the sum of angles on one side of a straight line is 180°, therefore:

m∠JKM + m∠MKL = 180° (sum of angles in a straight line)

m∠JKM + m∠MKL = 180°                (2)

From equations 1 and 2, equating give:

m∠JKM + [180 -  (m∠MLK + m∠KML)) =  180

m∠JKM + 180 - m∠MLK - m∠KML =  180

m∠JKM = m∠MLK + m∠KML

Answer:

[tex]2\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is an isosceles triangle. However, one can see that it has a right angle (indicated by the box around the angle). Thus the triangle is a (45 - 45 - 90) triangle. A (45- 45 - 90) triangle is the only right isosceles triangle. One of the properties of a right isosceles triangle is that its sides follow the following ratio,

[tex]a;a;a\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Where (a) represents the legs of the right triangle, the sides that are adjacent to the right angle, in this case, the congruent sides. ([tex]a\sqrt{2}[/tex]) is the hypotenuse, the side opposite the right angle.

It is given that the hypotenuse is equal to (4), one is asked to find the length of the legs. To do so, divide the hypotenuse by ([tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]) to find the legs. One can do this because the triangle is a (45 - 45 - 90) triangle, thus it must follow the ratio of the sides.

[tex]=\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

Rationalize the denominator,

[tex]\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\=2\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

The right hand side of the sun must be equal to the left hand side ;

Therefore ;

864+2006=--------+864

The sum of 864 and 2006 must be equal to the right hand side sum ; hence

864+2006= 2006 +864

Similarly, the left hand side and right havd side must also be equal here ;

4th blank box: 2,6,3,or 0


Answers

Answers:

Trey's number line is incorrect because it represents the expression 2 1/2 ÷ 3/4.

The correct equation is 2 1/2 ÷ 3/8 = 6 2/3.

Ms. Nellies has enough vinegar for 6 groups of students.

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

Explanation:

Trey has the right idea, but made a mistake on how the tickmarks are set up. Focus on the interval from 0 to 1. This section is cut into 4 equal pieces. So each tickmark represents 1/4 of a unit.

Going 3 tickmarks across means 3/4 of a unit is represented. Since each larger arc represents 3/4 of a unit, this means we're dividing the 2 & 1/2 over 3/4 instead of 3/8

That's why Trey's model represents 2 1/2 ÷ 3/4

The value 3 & 1/3 at the end is correct. Visually we see 3 whole jumps plus an extra 1/3 of a jump to arrive at 2 & 1/2. But again, Trey didn't cut the number line up in the right way, so it doesn't matter that he arrived at the correct result of 3 & 1/3 since his initial setup is faulty.

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

See the diagram below to see what Trey should have drawn. Notice each tickmark represents 1/8 instead of 1/4. Each large blue arc jump represents 3/8 of a unit. We have exactly 6 of these blue arcs plus 2 additional smaller arcs that are 1/3 of the blue arc. So that accounts for the 1/3+1/3 = 2/3 portion.

Overall, we would say that the equation is 2 1/2 ÷ 3/8 = 6 2/3

If you're curious why that equation works, check out the steps below

[tex]2 \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{2} \div \frac{3}{8}\\\\2 \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{8}{3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5*8}{2*3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8} = \frac{40}{6}\\\\2 \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8} = \frac{20}{3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8} = \frac{18+2}{3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8} = \frac{18}{3}+\frac{2}{3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8} = 6+\frac{2}{3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8} = 6\frac{2}{3}\\\\[/tex]

So again, the equation is 2 1/2 ÷ 3/8 = 6 2/3

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

What does this all mean? Well it means the teacher can break up the vinegar into 6 whole parts plus an additional 2/3 of a part.

In other words, 6 groups will get 3/8 of a pint each. The leftover part 2/3 isn't enough to form that 7th group. Notice in the diagram below, we have 2/8 = 1/4 of a pint which is smaller than 3/8 of a pint.

1/4 = 0.25

3/8 = 0.375

So this is another way to see that the leftovers isn't enough to form a 7th group.

Therefore, she has enough vinegar for 6 groups

Answer : C) 72°

The angle measure we’re looking for is an inscribed angle, this means it lies on the arc and it’s going to be exactly one half the value of the arc directly across from it (arc XZ).

To find the value of XZ you add 108 + 108 because the arcs XY and YZ have the same value. This = 216.

We then subtract 360 - 216 to find arc XZ, because 360° is the full measure of a circle.

360 - 216 = 144

Then divide by 2

144/2 = 72.

Assume that a three-month CD purchased for $3000 pays simple interest at an annual rate of 10%. How much total interest does it earn?

$ ____

What is the balance at maturity? ______

Answers

Answers:

interest = $75balance at maturity = $3075

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

Explanation:

The simple interest formula is

i = p*r*t

where in this case,

p = 3000 = principal (amount deposited)r = 0.10 = annual interest rate in decimal formt = 3/12 = 0.25 = number of years

So,

i = p*r*t

i = 3000*0.10*0.25

i = 75 is the amount of interest earned

This adds onto the initial deposit to get the final balance when the CD matures (ie when you're able to withdraw the money without penalties)

The balance at maturity is p+i = 3000+75 = 3075 dollars

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

In short, you deposit $3000 into the CD and have to wait 3 months for the amount to update to $3075.

Let X denote the number of bars of service on your cell phone whenever you are at an intersection with the following probabilities.

x 0 1 2 3 4 5
P(X=x) 0.1 0.15 0.25 0.25 0.15 0.1

Determine the following probabilities
a. Two or three bars
b. At least one bar
c. Fewer than two bars
d. More than three bars

Answers

Answer:

a. [tex]P(2 \leq X \leq 3) = 0.5[/tex]

b. [tex]P(X \geq 1) = 0.9[/tex]

c. [tex]P(X < 2) = 0.25[/tex]

d. [tex]P(X > 3) = 0.25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following distribution:

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.1[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.15[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.15[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = 0.1[/tex]

a. Two or three bars

[tex]P(2 \leq X \leq 3) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.5[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]P(2 \leq X \leq 3) = 0.5[/tex]

b. At least one bar

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 0.9[/tex]

c. Fewer than two bars

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1 + 0.15 = 0.25[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]P(X < 2) = 0.25[/tex]

d. More than three bars

[tex]P(X > 3) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.15 + 0.1 = 0.25[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]P(X > 3) = 0.25[/tex]
