Raw scores on behavioral tests are often transformed for easier comparison. A test of reading ability has mean 67 and standard deviation 10 when given to third graders. Sixth graders have mean score 86 and standard deviation 9 on the same test. To provide separate "norms" for each grade, we want scores in each grade to have mean 100 and standard deviation 20. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(a) What linear transformation will change third-grade scores x into new scores xnew = a + bx that have the desired mean and standard deviation? (Use b > 0 to preserve the order of the scores.) a = b = (b)

(c) David is a third-grade student who scores 79 on the test. Find David's transformed score.
Nancy is a sixth-grade student who scores 79. What is her transformed score?
Who scores higher within his or her grade? Nancy or David

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) a = -34 and b = 2

b.) a = -91.11 b = 2.22

c.) David scored 124, nancy scored 84.27

David scored higher

Step-by-step explanation:

for those in the 3rd grade

mean u = 67

s = 10

we used the z formula

[tex]z=\frac{x-u}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{x-67}{10}[/tex]

we have the new score

u = 100

s = 20

we use this formula [tex]z*s+u[/tex]

[tex][\frac{x-67}{10} ]20\\[/tex] + 100

multiply through by 20

[tex][\frac{20x-1340}{10} ] +100[/tex]

dividing the bracket by 10

= [tex]2x-134+100[/tex]

= [tex]2x-34[/tex]

from this solution above,

a = -34 and b = 2

b.)

we solve for those in the 6th grade

u = 86

s = 9

[tex]\frac{x-86}{9}[/tex]

for new score,

y = 100

s = 20

[tex][\frac{x-86}{9} ]20+100[/tex]

[tex]2.22x-191.11+100\\= 2.22x - 91.11[/tex]

from this solution

a = -91.11

b = 2.22

c.) if David scored 79

[tex]= 2(x)-34[/tex]

= 2(79) - 34

= 158 - 34

= 124

if nancy scored 79

= 2.22(79) - 91.11

= 175.38 - 91.11

= 84.27

from these scores we can see that David scored higher in his grade

A union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate the mean hourly wage, , of foodservice workers in the U.S. The union will choose a random sample of wages and then estimate using the mean of the sample. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for the union to be confident that its estimate is within of

Answers

Answer:  the minimum sample size needed = 145

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for sample size:

[tex]Sample \ size =(\dfrac{z^*\times standard\ deviation}{margin \ of \ error})^2[/tex]

, where z* = Critical z-value

Given: Standard deviation = 2.15

Margin of error = 0.35

Z* for 95% confidence = 1.96

Sample size = [tex](\frac{1.96\times2.15}{0.35})^2[/tex]

[tex]=(12.04)^2\\\\=144.9616\approx145[/tex]

Hence, the minimum sample size needed = 145

If Terry gives 30% of his sweets to Alex,they will have the same number of sweets.If terry gives 750 of his sweets to Alex,then Alex will have 80% more sweets than Terry.How many sweets does Terry have?

Answers

Answer:

Terry has 1500 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of sweets Terry has.

y is the number of sweets Alex has.

If Terry gives 30% of his sweets to Alex,they will have the same number of sweets.

This means that:

[tex](1 - 0.3)x = y + 0.3x[/tex]

[tex]0.7x = y + 0.3x[/tex]

[tex]y = 0.4x[/tex]

If Terry gives 750 of his sweets to Alex,then Alex will have 80% more sweets than Terry.

This means that:

[tex]y + 750 = 1.8(x-750)[/tex]

We want to find x, and since [tex]y = 0.4x[/tex]

[tex]y + 750 = 1.8x - 1350[/tex]

[tex]0.4x + 750 = 1.8x - 1350[/tex]

[tex]1.4x = 2100[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{2100}{1.4}[/tex]

[tex]x = 1500[/tex]

Terry has 1500 sweets.

Can we conclude that the mean lifetime of the bulbs made by this manufacture differ from 51 months?

Answers

Answer:

We reject  H₀, and conclude thet the mean lifetime of the bulbs differ from 51 month

Step-by-step explanation:

Manufacturing process under control must produce items that follow a normal distribution.

Manufacturer information:

μ  =  51 months     mean lifetime

σ  =  7 months       standard deviation

Sample Information:

x  =  51 months

n  =  60

Confidence Interval  =  90 %

Then significance level  α  =  10 %  α  =  0.1    α/2  =  0,05

Since it is a manufacturing process the distribution is a normal distribution, and with   n = 60 we should use a Z test on two tails.

Then from z- table z(c) for  α = 0,05  is  z(c)  = 1.64

Hypothesis  Test:

Null Hypothesis                              H₀            x  =  μ

Alternative Hypothesis                  Hₐ            x ≠  μ

To calculate z statistics  z(s)

z(s)  =   (  x   -  μ )  / σ /√n

z(s)  =   (  53  -  51 ) / 7 /√60

z(s)  =  2 * 7.746 / 7

z(s)  = 2.213

Comparing  z(s)  and  z(c)

z(s)  >  z(c)   then  z(s)  is in the rejection region

We reject  H₀, and conclude thet the mean lifetime of the bulbs differ from 51 month

If 80 persons can perform a piece of work in 16 days of 10 hours each, how
many men will perform a piece of work twice as great in tenth part of the time
working 8 hours a day supposing that three of the second set can do as much
work as four of the first set?

Answers

Answer:

The number of men needed to perform a piece of work twice as great in tenth part of the time  working 8 hours a day supposing that three of the second set can do as much  work as four of the first set is:

1200 men.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, first, we're gonna find how many hours take to make the piece of work in 16 days, taking into account each day just has 10 hours:

Number of hours to make a piece of work = 16 * 10 hoursNumber of hours to make a piece of work = 160 hours.

Now, we divide the total hours among the number of persons:

Equivalence of hours per person = 160 hours / 80 persons.Equivalence of hours per person = 2 hours /person

This equivalence isn't the real work of each person, we only need this value to make the next calculations. Now, we have a piece of work twice as great as the first, then, we can calculate the hours the piece of work needs to perform it (twice!):

Number of hours to make the second piece of work = 160 hours * 2Number of hours to make the second piece of work = 320 hours

We need to make this work in tenth part of the time working 8 hours a day, it means:

Time used to the second work = 320 hours / 10Time used to the second work = 32 hours Time used to the second work = 32 hours / 8 hours (as each day has 8 hours)Time used to the second work = 4 days

Now, we know three of the second set can do as much  work as four of the first set, taking into account the calculated equivalence, we have:

Work of four workers of first set = Work of three workers of second setWork of four workers of first set = Equivalence * 4 persons.Work of four workers of first set = 2 hours /person * 4 personsWork of four workers of first set = 8 hours.

So, three persons of the second set can make a equivalence of 8 hours. At last, we calculate all the number of workers we need in a regular time:

Number of needed workers in a regular time = (320 hours / 8 hours) * 3 persons.Number of needed workers in a regular time = 40 * 3 personsNumber of needed workers in a regular time = 120 persons

Remember we need to perform the job not in a regular time, we need to perform it in tenth part of the time, by this reason, we need 10 times the number of people:

Number of needed workers in tenth part of the time = 120 persons * 10Number of needed workers in tenth part of the time = 1200 persons

With this calculations, you can find the number of men needed to perform a piece of work twice as great in tenth part of the time  working 8 hours a day supposing that three of the second set can do as much  work as four of the first set is 1200 persons.
