An online polling site posed this question: "How much stock do you put in long-range weather forecasts?" Among its Web site users, 38, 528 chose to respond Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
a. Among the responses received, 3% answered with "a lot". What is the actual number of responses consisting of "a lot"?
b. Among the responses received, 18, 566 consisted of "very little or none". What percentage of responses consisted of "very little or none"?
c. Because the sample size of 38, 528 is so large, can we conclude that about 3% of the general population puts "a lot" of stock in long-range weather forecasts? Why or why not?
A. No, because the sample is a voluntary response sample, so the sample is not likely to be representative of the population.
B. Yes, because the sample is so large, the margin of error is negligible.
C. No, because even though the sample size is so large, there is still a margin of error.
D. Yes, because the sample size is large enough so that the sample is representative of the population.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 1155.84

(b) 48.2%

(c) D

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of total responses is, N = 38,528.

(a)

It is provided that 3% answered with "a lot".

Compute the actual number of responses consisting of "a lot" as follows:

n (a lot) = N × P (a lot)

            = 38528 × 0.03

            = 1155.84

Thus, the actual number of responses consisting of "a lot" is 1155.84.

(b)

The number of responses consisting of "very little or none" is,

n (very little or none) = 18,566

Compute the percentage of responses consisted of "very little or none" as follows:

[tex]P(\text{very little or none})=\frac{n(\text{very little or none})}{N}[/tex]

                                  [tex]=\frac{18566}{38528}\\\\=0.481883\\\\\approx 0.482[/tex]

The percentage is: 0.482 × 100% = 48.2%.

Thus, the percentage of responses consisted of "very little or none" is 48.2%.

(c)

As the sample size increases the sample statistic value gets closer and closer to the actual population parameter value.

Thus, making the sample statistic an unbiased estimator of the population parameter.

And proving that the sample is a true representative of the population.

Thus, the correct option is (D).

C. Find beta for the case where the true mean heat evolved is 105. This value of beta is smaller than the one found in part (b) above. Why?

Answers

Answer:

A.the type 1 error probability is [tex]\mathbf{\alpha = 0.0244 }[/tex]

B. β  = 0.0122

C. β  = 0.0000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean = 100

standard deviation = 2

sample size = 9

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:

[tex]\mathtt{H_o: \mu = 100}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{H_1: \mu \neq 100}[/tex]

A. If the acceptance region is defined as [tex]98.5 < \overline x > 101.5[/tex] , find the type I error probability [tex]\alpha[/tex] .

Assuming the critical region lies within [tex]\overline x < 98.5[/tex] or [tex]\overline x > 101.5[/tex], for a type 1 error to take place, then the sample average x will be within the critical region when the true mean heat evolved is [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P( type \ 1 \ error ) = P( reject \ H_o)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P( \overline x < 98.5 ) + P( \overline x > 101.5 )}[/tex]

when  [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} < \dfrac{\overline 98.5 - 100}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \end {pmatrix} + \begin {pmatrix}P(\dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} > \dfrac{101.5 - 100}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \end {pmatrix} }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P ( Z < \dfrac{-1.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}} ) + P(Z > \dfrac{1.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}}) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P ( Z <-2.25 ) + P(Z > 2.25) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = P ( Z <-2.25 ) +( 1- P(Z < 2.25) })[/tex]

From the standard normal distribution tables

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = 0.0122+( 1- 0.9878) })[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\alpha = 0.0122+( 0.0122) })[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\alpha = 0.0244 }[/tex]

Thus, the type 1 error probability is [tex]\mathbf{\alpha = 0.0244 }[/tex]

B. Find beta for the case where the true mean heat evolved is 103.

The probability of type II error is represented by β. Type II error implies that we fail to reject null hypothesis [tex]\mathtt{H_o}[/tex]

Thus;

β = P( type II error) - P( fail to reject [tex]\mathtt{H_o}[/tex] )

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(98.5 \leq \overline x \leq 101.5) }[/tex]

Given that [tex]\mu = 103[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{98.5 -103}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \leq \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{n}} \leq \dfrac{101.5-103}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}}) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{-4.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}} \leq Z \leq \dfrac{-1.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}}) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(-6.75 \leq Z \leq -2.25) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(z< -2.25) - P(z < -6.75 )}[/tex]

From standard normal distribution table

β  = 0.0122 - 0.0000

β  = 0.0122

C. Find beta for the case where the true mean heat evolved is 105. This value of beta is smaller than the one found in part (b) above. Why?

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(98.5 \leq \overline x \leq 101.5) }[/tex]

Given that [tex]\mu = 105[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{98.5 -105}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \leq \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{n}} \leq \dfrac{101.5-105}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}}) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{-6.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}} \leq Z \leq \dfrac{-3.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}}) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(-9.75 \leq Z \leq -5.25) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{\beta = P(z< -5.25) - P(z < -9.75 )}[/tex]

From standard normal distribution table

β  = 0.0000 - 0.0000

β  = 0.0000

The reason why the value of beta is smaller here is that since the difference between the value for the true mean and the hypothesized value increases, the probability of type II error decreases.

Max believes that the sales of coffee at his coffee shop depend upon the weather. He has taken a sample of 5 days. Below you are given the results of the sample.
Cups of Coffee Sold Temperature
350 50
200 60
210 70
100 80
60 90
40 100
A. Which variable is the dependent variable?
B. Compute the least squares estimated line.
C. Compute the correlation coefficient between temperature and the sales of coffee.
D. Predict sales of a 90 degree day.

Answers

Answer:

1. cups of coffee sold

2.Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

3. -0.952

4. 70.84

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the dependent variable in this question is the cups of coffee sold

2. least square estimation line

Y = a+bx

we have y as the cups of coffee sold

x as temperature.

first we will have to solve for a and then b

∑X = 450

∑Y = 960

∑XY = 61600

∑X² = 35500

∑Y² = 221800

a = ∑y∑x²-∑x∑xy/n∑x²-(∑x)²

a = 960 * 35500-450*61600/6*35500-450²

a = 6360000/10500

= 605.7

b = n∑xy - ∑x∑y/n∑x²-(∑x)²

= 6*61600 - 450*960/6*35500 - 450²

= -5.943

the regression line

Y = a + bx

Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

3. we are to find correlation coefficient

r = n∑xy - ∑x∑y multiplied by√(n∑x²-(∑x)² * (n∑y² - (∑y)²)

= 6*61600 -960*450/√(6*35500 - 450²)*(6*221800 - 960²)

=-62400/√4296600000

= -62400/65548.5

= -0.952

4. we have to predict sales of a 90 degree day fro the regression line

Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

y = 605.7 - 5.943(90)

y = 605.7 - 534.87

= 70.84

A mass of 5 kg stretches a spring 10 cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 10sin( t ) N(newtons) and moves in a medium that imparts a viscous force of 2 N

A)Find the solution of the initial value problem in the above problem.
B)Plot the graph of the steady state solution
C)If the given external force is replaced by a force of 2 cos(ωt) of frequency ω , find the value of ω for which the amplitude of the forced response is maximum.

Answers

Answer:

A) C1 = 0.00187 m = 0.187 cm,  C2 = 0.0062 m = 0.62 cm

B)  A sample of how the graph looks like is attached below ( periodic sine wave )

C) w = [tex]\sqrt[4]{3}[/tex] is when the amplitude of the forced response is maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

mass = 5kg

length of spring = 10 cm = 0.1 m

f(t) = 10sin(t) N

viscous force = 2 N

speed of mass = 4 cm/s = 0.04 m/s

initial velocity = 3 cm/s = 0.03 m/s

Formulating initial value problem

y = viscous force / speed = 2 N / 0.04 m/s = 50 N sec/m

spring constant = mg/ Length of spring = (5 * 9.8) / 0.1 = 490 N/m

f(t) = 10sin(t/2) N

using the initial conditions of u(0) = 0 m and u"(0) = 0.03 m/s to express the equation of motion

the equation of motion = 5u" + 50u' + 490u = 10sin(t/2)

A) finding the solution of the initial value

5x+4(-x-2)=-5x+2(x-1)+12

Answers

Answer:

x=9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x+4(−x−2)=−5x+2(x−1)+12

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+4(−x−2)=−5x+2(x−1)+12

5x+(4)(−x)+(4)(−2)=−5x+(2)(x)+(2)(−1)+12 (Distribute)

5x+−4x+−8=−5x+2x+−2+12

(5x+−4x)+(−8)=(−5x+2x)+(−2+12) (Combine Like Terms)

x+−8=−3x+10

x−8=−3x+10

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

x−8+3x=−3x+10+3x

4x−8=10

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

4x−8+8=10+8

4x=18

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=18/4

x=9/2

Suppose that a sample mean is .29 with a lower bound of a confidence interval of .24. What is the upper bound of the confidence interval?

Answers

Answer:

The upper bound of the confidence interval is 0.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we want to calculate the upper bound of the confidence interval.

We start by calculating the margin of error.

Mathematically, the margin of error = 0.29 -0.24 = 0.05

So to get the upper bound of the confidence interval, we simply add this margin of error to the mean

That would be 0.05 + 0.29 = 0.34

The 99% confidence interval for estimating the population mean μ is ($60,112.60, $68087.40).

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Salaries of 42 college graduates who took a statistics course in college have a​ mean, [tex]\bar x[/tex] of, $64, 100. Assuming a standard​ deviation, σ of ​$10​,016 construct a ​99% confidence interval for estimating the population mean μ.

Solution:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for estimating the population mean μ is:

[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

The critical value of z for 99% confidence interval is:

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.01/2}=z_{0.005}=2.57[/tex]

Compute the 99% confidence interval for estimating the population mean μ as follows:

[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

     [tex]=64100\pm 2.58\times\frac{10016}{\sqrt{42}}\\\\=64100+3987.3961\\\\=(60112.6039, 68087.3961)\\\\\approx (60112.60, 68087.40)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

16.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality = no of gallons of water per 1 minute.

In the first row, we have 16.50 gallons of water per 1 minute.

In the 2nd row, we have 24.75 gallons of water in 1.5 minutes. In 1 minute, we will have 24.75 ÷ 1.5 = 16.50 gallons

In the 3rd row, we have 33 gallons in 2 minutes. In 1 minute, we will have 33 ÷ 2 = 16.50 gallons.

We can see that there seems to be the same constant of proportionality for the 2nd and 3rd row, which is 16.50.

Thus, a relationship between gallons of water (w) and time (t), considering the constant, 16.50, can be written as: [tex] w = 16.50t [/tex]

This means the constant of proportionality, 16.50, is same for all rows.

Be certain of your answer because you only get one attempt on this​ question.)

Answers

Answer:

less than

Step-by-step explanation:

If the normality requirement is not satisfied​ (that is, ​np(1​ - p) is not at least​ 10), then a​ 95% confidence interval about the population proportion will include the population proportion in​ _less than__ 95% of the intervals.

The confidence interval consist of all reasonable values of a population mean. These are value for which the null hypothesis will not be rejected.

So, let assume that If the 95%  confidence interval contains the value for the hypothesized mean, then the sample mean  is reasonably close to the hypothesized mean. The effect of this is that the p- value is going to be greater than 0.05, so we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

On the other hand,

If the 95%  confidence interval do not contains the value for the hypothesized mean, then the sample mean  is far away from the hypothesized mean. The effect of this is that the p- value is going to be lesser than 0.05, so we reject the null hypothesis.

88 feet/second = 60 miles/hour. How many feet per second is 1 mile/hour? (Hint: divide both sides of the equation
by the same amount.)
Round to the nearest thousandth.
One mile per hour is equivalent to
ao feet/second

Answers

Answer: 1ft/sec = 0.618 mi/hr

Explanation:

88 ft/sec = 60 mi/hr
88/88 ft/sec = 60/88 mi/hr (divide both sides by 88)
1 ft/sec = 60/88 mi/hr
1 ft/sec = 15/22 mi/hr
1 ft/sec = 0.681 mi/hr

It takes amy 8 minutes to mow 1/6 of her backyard. At that rate how many more minutes will it take her to finish mowing her backyard

Answers

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes her 8 minutes to mow 1/6 of it, we can find the total amount of time it  will take by multiplying 8 by 6, since 1/6 times 6 is 1 (1 represents the whole lawn mowed)

8(6) = 48

The question asks for how many more minutes it will take, so subtract 48 by 8.

48 - 8 = 40

= 40 minutes

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

8 minutes          x minutes

------------------- = ----------------

1/6 yard                 1 yard

Using cross products

8 * 1 = 1/6 x

Multiply each side by 6

8*6 = 1/6 * x * 6

48 = x

48 minutes total

She has already done 8 minutes

48-8 = 40 minutes

On the uploaded image is a similar question that will explain the given question

Answer:

The value of k is  [tex]k = 214285.7[/tex]

The percentage  of the oil that will be cleaned is [tex]x = 80.77\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  cost of cleaning up the spillage is  [tex]C = \frac{ k x }{100 - x }[/tex]  [tex]x \le x \le 100[/tex]

     The  cost of cleaning x =  70% of the oil is  [tex]C = \$500,000[/tex]

   

Now at  [tex]C = \$500,000[/tex] we have  

       [tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{100 - 70 }[/tex]

       [tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{30 }[/tex]

      [tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{30 }[/tex]

Answers

Complete question is;

A machine used to fill gallon-sized paint cans is regulated so that the amount of paint dispensed has a mean of 128 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounce. You randomly select 35 cans and carefully measure the contents. The sample mean of the cans is 127.9 ounces. Does the machine need to be? reset? Explain your reasoning.

(yes/no)?, it is (very unlikely/ likely) that you would have randomly sampled 35 cans with a mean equal to 127.9 ?ounces, because it (lies/ does not lie) within the range of a usual? event, namely within (1 standard deviation, 2 standard deviations 3 standard deviations) of the mean of the sample means.

Answer:

Yes, we should reset the machine because it is unusual to have a mean equal to 127.9 from a random sample of 35 as the mean of 127.9 doesn't fall within range of a usual event with 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Mean: μ = 128

Standard deviation; σ = 0.2

n = 35

Now, formula for standard error of mean is given as;

se = σ/√n

se = 0.2/√35

se = 0.0338

Normally, the range of values should be within 2 standard deviations of mean. In this case, normal range of values will be;

μ ± 2se = 128 ± 0.0338

This gives; 127.9662, 128.0338

So, Yes, we should reset the machine because it is unusual to have a mean equal to 127.9 from a random sample of 35 as the mean of 127.9 doesn't fall within range of a usual event with 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]f(t) = 12 cos (t- \dfrac{\pi}{6})[/tex]

recall that:

cos (A-B) = cos AcosB + sin A sin B

[tex]f(t) = 12 [cos\ t \ cos \dfrac{\pi}{6}+ sin \ t \ sin \dfrac{\pi}{6}][/tex]

[tex]f(t) = 12 [cos \ t \ \dfrac{3}{2}+ sin \ t \ sin \dfrac{1}{2}][/tex]

[tex]f(t) = 6 \sqrt{3} \ cos \ (t) + 6 \ sin \ (t)[/tex]

[tex]L(f(t)) = L ( 6 \sqrt{3} \ cos \ (t) + 6 \ sin \ (t) ][/tex]

[tex]L(f(t)) = 6 \sqrt{3} \ L [cos \ (t) ] + 6\ L [ sin \ (t) ][/tex]

[tex]L(f(t)) = 6 \sqrt{3} \dfrac{S}{S^2 + 1^2}+ 6 \dfrac{1}{S^2 +1^2}[/tex]

Two sides of a triangle are equal length. The length of the third side exceeds the length of one of the other sides by 3 centimeters. The perimeter of the triangle is 93 centimeters. Find the length of each of the shorter sides of the triangle

Answers

Answer:

30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the lenght of the two sides of equal lenghts, so the other is x+3

and the perimeter is x+x +x +3

P=3x+3

P=3(x+1)

93=3(x+1)

31=x+1

x=30

so the shorter sides are of 30 centimeters and the longest is 33

What is the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(–5,2), B(–3, 5),C(4, 5),and D(2, 2)?

Answers

Answer: ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we plot these point on a graph as given in attachment.

From the attachment we can observe that AD || BC || x-axis .

also, AB ||CD, that will make ABCD a parallelogram ,  but to confirm we check the property of parallelogram "diagonals bisect each other" , i.e . "Mid point of both diagonals are equal".

Mid point of AC= [tex](\dfrac{-5+4}{2},\dfrac{2+5}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})[/tex]

Mid point of BD= [tex](\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{5+2}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})[/tex]

Thus, Mid point of AC=Mid point of BD

i.e. diagonals bisect each other.

That means ABCD is a parallelogram.

Transform the given parametric equations into rectangular form. Then identify the conic.

Answers

Answer:

Solution : Option B

Step-by-Step Explanation:

We have the following system of equations at hand here.

{ x = 5 cot(t), y = - 3csc(t) + 4 }

Now instead of isolating the t from either equation, let's isolate cot(t) and csc(t) --- Step #1,

x = 5 cot(t) ⇒ x - 5 = cot(t),

y = - 3csc(t) + 4 ⇒ y - 4 = - 3csc(t) ⇒ y - 4 / - 3 = csc(t)

Now let's square these two equations. We know that csc²θ - cot²θ = 1, so let's subtract the equations  as well. --- Step #2

 

( y - 4 / - 3 )² = (csc(t))²

- ( x - 5 / 1 )² = (cot(t))²  

___________________

(y - 4)² / 9 - x² / 25 = 1

And as we are subtracting the two expressions, this is an example of a hyperbola. Therefore your solution is option b.
