The weekly earnings of students in one age group are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 88 dollars. A researcher wishes to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students in this age group. Find the sample size needed to assure with 98 percent confidence that the sample mean will not differ from the population mean by more than 2 dollars.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample size needed is of 10,484.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 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 - 0.98}{2} = 0.01[/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 p-value of [tex]1 - 0.01 = 0.99[/tex], so Z = 2.327.

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.

The weekly earnings of students in one age group are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 88 dollars.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 88[/tex]

Find the sample size needed to assure with 98 percent confidence that the sample mean will not differ from the population mean by more than 2 dollars.

This is n for which M = 2. So

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

[tex]2 = 2.327\frac{88}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{n} = 2.327*88[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327*88}{2}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327*88}{2})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 10483.3[/tex]

Rounding up:

The sample size needed is of 10,484.

Answers

Answer:

  10.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between (-3, -4) and (3, 5) can be found using the distance formula.

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

  d = √((3 -(-3))^2 +(5 -(-4))^2) = √(6^2 +9^2) = √117

  d ≈ 10.8

It is about 10.8 miles from the mall to the park.

How would I answer this: How many minutes are in a 30-day month.... use vertical multiplication to get the right answer

Answers

Answer:

There are 43200 minutes in a 30-day month.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 hours = 1 day

Thus to determine the minutes in a 30-day month, let us first determine the number of hours in the month.

   30

x  24

_______

  120

 60

_______

 720 hours

The 30-day month has a total of 720 hours.

So that the number of minutes that make up 720 hours can be determined by;

    720

 x   60

_______

   000

4320

_______

43200

Therefore, there are 43200 minutes in a 30-day month.

efficient. They have decided to redesign their ovens. The ovens must have a volume of 0.512 m. Find the
optimal design for the oven so that the surface is as small as possible to minimize heat loss Calculate that
surface area.​

Answers

Answer:

2. Candle dimensions: x = 6.3 cm                   h  = 6.29 cm

A (min) = 373.49 cm²

3. Cylindrical oven dimensions:  x  = 0.54 m   h = 0.55 m

A (min)= 1.4747 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

2.A   The volume V of the cylindrical candle is 785 cm³

V = π*x²*h                x is the radius of the base and h the heigh of the cylinder

The surface area A is area of the base   π*x² . plus lateral area 2*π*r*h

then .   A  = π*x²  + 2*π*x*h .             h = V/π*x²

A as a function of x . is

A(x)  = π*x²  + 2*π*x*785/π*x²

A(x) =  π*x²  + 1570/x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A' (x) = 2*π*x - 1570/x²

A'(x) = 0 .   2*π*x - 1570/x² = 0 .       2*π*x³  =  1570

x³ = 250

x = 6.3 cm .              and .            h  = 785/π*x² .  h = 785/124.63

h  = 6.29 cm

Then dimensions of the cylindrical candle:

x = 6.3 cm                   h  = 6.29 cm

A (min) =  3.14 * (6.3)²  + 6.28*6.3*6.29

A (min) = 124.63  + 248.86

A (min) = 373.49 cm²

3. For a cylindrical oven    V = 0.512    h =  0.512/ π*x²

Following the same procedure

A(x)  = π*x²  + 2*π*x*0.512/π*x² .A(x)  = π*x²  + 1024/x

A'(x) = 2* π*x - 1.024/x²

A'(x) =0 .                2* π*x - 1.024/x² =0 .       2* π*x³ . = 1.024

x³ = 0.512/π .            x³ = 0.163

x  = 0.54 m     h  = 0.512/π*x² .            h = 0.55 m

A(min) = 3.14*(0.54)²  +  1024/x

A(min)= 0.9156 + 0.5591

A (min)= 1.4747 m²

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-2(sin(2x))-7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

Given information:

The graph intersects the midline at (0, -7)The graph has a minimum point at ([tex]\frac{\pi}{4}[/tex], 9).

What conclusions can be made about this function:

The graph is a sine function, as its y-intercept intersects the midlineThis graph has a negative coefficient, this is because after intersecting the midlines at the y-intercept, the function has a minimum.This graph does not appear to have undergone any horizontal shift, as it intercepts the midlines with its y-intercept

Therefore, one has the following information figured out:

[tex]y=-n(sin(ax))+b[/tex]

Now one has to find the following information:

amplitudemidlineperiod

2. Midline

The midlines can simply be defined as a line that goes through a sinusoidal function, cutting the function in half. This is represented by the constant (b). One is given that point (0, -7) is where the graph intersects the midline. The (y-coordinate) of this point is the midline. Therefore, the midline is the following:

y = -7

2. Amplitude

The amplitude is represented by the coefficient (n). It can simply be defined by the distance from the midline to point of maximum (the highest part of a sinusoidal function) or point of minimum (lowest point on the function). Since the function reaches a point of minimum after intercepting the (y-axis) at its midlines, the amplitude is a negative coefficient. One can find the absolute value of the amplitude by finding the difference of the (y-coordinate) of the point of minimum (or maximum) and the absolute value of the midline.

point of minimum: [tex](\frac{\pi}{4},9)[/tex]

midline: [tex]y=-7[/tex]

Amplitude: 9 - |-7| = 9 - 7 = 2

3. Period

The period of a sinusoidal function is the amount of time it takes to reach the same point on the wave. In essence, if one were to select any point on the sinusoidal function, and draw a line going to the right, how long would it take for that line to reach a point on the function that is identical to the point at which it started. This can be found by taking the difference of the (x- coordinate) of the intersection point of the midline, and the (x-coordinate) of the point of minimum, and multiplying it by (4).

point of minimum: [tex](\frac{\pi}{4},9)[/tex]

midline intersection: [tex](0, -7)[/tex]

Period: [tex]4(\frac{\pi}{4}-0)=4(\frac{\pi}{4})=\pi[/tex]

However, in order to input this into the function in place of the variable (a), one has to divide this number by ([tex]2\pi[/tex]).

[tex]a=\frac{2\pi}{\pi}=2[/tex]

4. Assemble the function

One now has the following solutions to the variables:

[tex]n =-16\\a=2\\b=-7\\[/tex]

Substitute these values into the function:

[tex]y=-2(sin(2x))-7[/tex]

Find the measure of arc BC?

Answers

Answer:

129

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

AD = 3x + 24

BC = 4x - 11

3x + 24 = 4x - 11

4x - 11 = 3x + 24

4x - 3x = 24 + 11

x = 35

BC = 4x - 11

= 4 ( 35 ) - 11

= 140 - 11

BC = 129

Answer:

[tex]AB=BC[/tex]
