a. Convenience sampling
b. Cluster sampling
c. Stratified sampling
d. Systematic sampling

Answers

Answer:

C Stratified sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified sampling : Stratified sampling is a type of sampling technique in which the total population is divided into smaller groups or strata to complete the sampling process. The strata is formed based on some common characteristics in the data of the population.

One of the advantage of stratified random sampling is that it covers important population characteristics in the sample.

Aaron wants to mulch his garden. His garden is x^2+18x+81 ft^2 One bag of mulch covers x^2-81 ft^2 . Divide the expressions and simplify to find how many bags of mulch Aaron needs to mulch his garden.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Garden: [tex]x^2+18x+81[/tex]

One Bag: [tex]x^2 - 81[/tex]

Requires

Determine the number of bags to cover the whole garden

This is calculated as thus;

[tex]Bags = \frac{x^2+18x+81}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]

Expand the numerator

[tex]Bags = \frac{x^2+9x+9x+81}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]

[tex]Bags = \frac{x(x+9)+9(x+9)}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]

[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]

Express 81 as 9²

[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{x^2 - 9\²}[/tex]

Evaluate as difference of two squares

[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{(x - 9)(x+9)}[/tex]

[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)}{(x - 9)}[/tex]

Hence, the number of bags is [tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)}{(x - 9)}[/tex]

Suppose that 80% of all registered California voters favor banning the release of information from exit polls in presidential elections until after the polls in California close. A random sample of 25 registered California voters is selected.

Required:
a. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the number of voters who favor the ban.
b. What is the probability that exactly 20 voters favor the ban?

Answers

Answer:

a. Mean = 20

Sd = 4

b. Probability of X = 20 = 0.1960

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

n = 25

p = 80% = 0.8

mean = np

= 0.8 * 25

= 20

standard deviation = √np(1-p)

= √25*0.8(1-0.8)

=√4

= 2

probability that exactly 20 favours ban

it follows a binomial distribution

= 25C20 × 0.8²⁰ × 0.2⁵

= 53130 × 0.01153 × 0.00032

= 0.1960

Probability of X = 20 = 0.1960

The average daily volume of a computer stock in 2011 was ų=35.1 million shares, according to a reliable source. A stock analyst believes that the stock volume in 2014 is different from the 2011 level. Based on a random sample of 30 trading days in 2014, he finds the sample mean to be 32.7 million shares, with a standard deviation of s=14.6 million shares. Test the hypothesis by constructing a 95% confidence interval. Complete a and b A. State the hypothesis B. Construct a 95% confidence interval about the sample mean of stocks traded in 2014.

Answers

Answer:

a

   The  null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu = 35 .1 \ million \ shares[/tex]

    The  alternative hypothesis  [tex]H_a : \mu \ne 35.1\ million \ shares[/tex]

b

 The   95% confidence interval is  [tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question the we are told that

      The  population mean is  [tex]\mu = 35.1 \ million \ shares[/tex]

      The  sample size is  n = 30

       The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 32.7 \ million\ shares[/tex]

       The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 14.6 \ million\ shares[/tex]

     

Given that the confidence level is  [tex]95\%[/tex] then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

                  [tex]\alpha = 100-95[/tex]

                  [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]

=>               [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table

    The value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

                 [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

                [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 14.6 }{\sqrt{30} }[/tex]

                [tex]E = 5.225[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval confidence interval is mathematically represented as

              [tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]

substituting values

               [tex]32.7 - 5.225 < \mu < 32.7 + 5.225[/tex]

                [tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]

       

A clothing business finds there is a linear relationship between the number of shirts, n, it can sell and the price, p, it can charge per shirt. In particular, historical data shows that 1,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $30, while 3,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $10. Find a linear equation in the form p(n)=mn+b that gives the price p they can charge for n shirts.

Answers

Answer:

p(n) = -1/100 n  40

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the two points (n, p): (1000, 30) and (3000, 10).

Now we find the equation of the line that passes through these two points.

m = (10 - 30)/(3000 - 1000)

m = -20/2000

m = -1/100

p(n) = mn + b

30 = -1/100 * 1000 + b

30 = -10 + b

b = 40

The equation is:

p(n) = -1/100 n  40

They also find that the standard deviation of their sample is 9.86 sheets. What is the value of the test-statistic for this scenario

Answers

Answer:

The test statistic is [tex]t = 2.79[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population mean is [tex]\mu = 59.3[/tex]

    The sample size is  [tex]n = 79[/tex]

    The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 62.4[/tex]

There are 2229 students in a school district. Among a sample of 452 students from this school district, 163 have mathematics scores below grade level. Based on this sample, estimate the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level.

a. 804
b. 844
c. 884
d. 0.36

Answers

Answer:

A. 804

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total number of students in the school to be 2229 students. If among a sample of 452 students from this school district, 163 have mathematics scores below grade level, then we can determine the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level based on the sample scores using ratio.

Let the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level be x. The ratio of the students with math score below grade level to total population will be x:2229

Also, the ratio of the sample students with math score below grade level to sample population will be 163:452

On equating both ratios, we will have;

x:2229 =  163:452

[tex]\dfrac{x}{2229} = \dfrac{163}{452}\\ \\cross\ multiplying;\\\\\\452*x = 2229*163\\\\x = \dfrac{2229*163}{452}\\ \\x = \frac{363,327}{452}\\ \\x = 803.8\\\\x \approx 804[/tex]

Hence the estimate of the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level based on the sample is 804

An operator wants to determine the standard deviation for a machine relative to its ability to produce windshield wipers conforming within their specifications. To do this, she wants to create a p-chart. Over a month's time, she tests 100 units every day and records the number of manufacturing defects. The average proportion of non-conforming windshield wipers is found to be 0.042. What is the standard deviation of this sample

Answers

Answer:

the standard deviation of the sample is less than  0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The sample size n = 100 units

The average proportion of non-conforming windshield wipers is found to be 0.042 which is the defective rate P-bar

The standard deviation of the machine([tex]S_p[/tex]) can be calculated  by using the formula:

[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{ \overline P \times (1 - \overline P)} }{n}[/tex]

[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.042 \times (1 -0.042)} }{100}[/tex]

[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.042 \times (0.958)} }{100}[/tex]

[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.040236} }{100}[/tex]

[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ 0.2005891323 }{100}[/tex]

[tex]S_p =0.002[/tex]

Thus , the standard deviation of the sample is less than  0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, a projectile is fired vertically upward from a height of 300  feet above the ground, with an initial velocity of 900 ft/s.

The general equation with which a projectile are modled by the function is given by :

[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+v_ot+y_o[/tex]

y₀ is the initial height above the ground

v₀ = initial velocity

So,

Suppose that you are standing 150 feet from a building and the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 42°. What is the building's height?

Answers

Answer:

135.06 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the side of the building makes a right triangle with the ground and you know one side length and the degree angle between you and the top of the building we can use trigonometric function to find the height of the building. So since we know one side other than the hypotenuse we can use tangent to solve. Tangent is the opposite side over the adjacent side of the known angle.

opposite side = x

adjacent side = 150 feet

angle = 42°

tan(42°) = x/150 feet

150 feet * tan(42°) = x

x = 135.06 feet

A potato chip company makes potato chips in two flavors, Regular and Salt & Vinegar. Riley is a production manager for the company who is trying to ensure that each bag contains about the same number of chips, regardless of flavor. He collects two random samples of 10 bags of chips of each flavor and counts the number of chips in each bag. Assume that the population variances of the number of chips per bag for both flavors are equal and that the number of chips per bag for both flavors are normally distributed. Let the Regular chips be the first sample, and let the Salt & Vinegar chips be the second sample. Riley conducts a two-mean hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance, to test if there is evidence that both flavors have the same number of chips in each bag. (a) H0:μ1=μ2; Ha:μ1≠μ2, which is a two-tailed test. (b) t≈1.44 , p-value is approximately 0.167 (c) Which of the following are appropriate conclusions for this hypothesis test?
A. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag.B. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag.C. Reject H0.D. Fail to reject H0.

Answers

Answer:

A. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag.

D. Fail to reject H0.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the summary of the given test statistics.

The null and the alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0:\mu_1=\mu_2 \\ \\ Ha:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2[/tex]

This test is also a two tailed test.

Similarly, the t value for the test statistics = 1.44

The p- value - 0.167

The level of significance ∝ = 0.05

The objective we are meant to achieve here is to determine which of the following from the given options are appropriate conclusions for this hypothesis test.

From what we have above:

Decision Rule: We fail to reject the null hypothesis since the p-value is greater than the level of significance at 0.05

CONCLUSION: Therefore, we can conclude that  there is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that Regular and Salt & Vinegar chips have different amounts of chips per bag as we fail to reject H0.

What is the minimum sample size required to estimate a population mean with 90% confidence when the desired margin of error is 1.25

Answers

Complete Question

What is the minimum sample size required to estimate a population mean with 90% confidence when the desired margin of error is 1.25? The standard deviation in a pre-selected sample is  7.5

Answer:

The minimum sample size is  [tex]n =97[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question  we are told that

 The margin of error is  [tex]E = 1.25[/tex]

   The  standard deviation is  [tex]s = 7.5[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  90% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

             [tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]  

             [tex]\alpha =10\%[/tex]  

             [tex]\alpha =0.10[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table  

    The value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]

   The  minimum sample size is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]n = \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * s^2 }}{E^2 }[/tex]

=>        [tex]n = \frac{1.645^2 * 7.5^2 }{1.25^2 }[/tex]

=>        [tex]n =97[/tex]
