Which of the following would increase the width of a confidence interval for a population​ mean? Choose the correct answer below. A. Increase the level of confidence B. Decrease the sample standard deviation. C. Increase the sample size D. All of the above

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Increase the level of confidence

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error is given by:

The margin of error is:

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

In which T is related to the level of confidence(the higher the level of confidence, the higher T is), s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

Increase the width:

That is, increasing the margin of error, as the width is twice the margin of error, the possible options are:

Increase T -> increase confidence level.

Increase s -> Increase the standard deviation of the sample.

Decrease n -> Decrease the sample size.

Thus, the correct answer is given by option A.

Answer:

b. The actual count of bike riders is too small.

d. n*p is not greater than 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for a proportion:

To be possible to build a confidence interval for a proportion, the sample needs to have at least 10 successes, that is, [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and at least 10 failures, that is, [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex]

Help please, I attached the question. Is it a!?

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that for a quadratic equation of the form:

[tex]0=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

The number of solutions it has can be determined using its discriminant:  

[tex]\Delta = b^2-4ac[/tex]

Where:

If the discriminant is positive, we have two real solutions. If the discriminant is negative, we have no real solutions. And if the discriminant is zero, we have exactly one solution.

We have the equation:

[tex]2x^2+5x-k=0[/tex]

Thus, a = 2, b = 5, and c = -k.

In order for the equation to have exactly one distinct solution, the discriminant must equal zero. Hence:

[tex]b^2-4ac=0[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex](5)^2-4(2)(-k)=0[/tex]

Solve for k. Simplify:

[tex]25+8k=0[/tex]

Solve:

[tex]\displaystyle k = -\frac{25}{8}[/tex]

Thus, our answer is indeed A.

Thorazine is available in a strength of 25 mg/mL. Express this strength as a percent.

Answers

Answer:

2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Thorazine is available in the strength of 25mg/mL.

To find out the percentage strength,

W/V = g/mL  (weight in grams of solute/milliliters of solute.)

1mL of Thorazine contains 25mg.

Dissolve Thorazine with the 100mL solution.

Therefore, 25 x 100 = 2500mg

Which is equals to 2.5g

100mL solution contains 2.5g of Thorazine.

Percentage Strength (W/V) = 2.5 / 100 x 100 = 2.5%.

The percentage strength of Thorazine 25mg/mL has 2.5%

By selling a radio for $8400 a dealer gained 12% .how much money did she gain​

Answers

Answer:

Amount gained = $900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price be = x

Given selling price = 8400

And profit% = 12%

Profit = selling price - cost price

        = 8400 - x

[tex]Profit \ \% = \frac{profit}{cost \ price} \times 100\\\\12\% = \frac{8400 - x}{x} \times 100\\\\\ 12 \times \frac{1}{100} = \frac{8400 - x}{x}\\\\\frac{12 \ x}{100} = 8400 - x \\\\\frac{12x}{100} + x = 8400\\\\12x + 100x = 8400 \times 100\\\\112x = 8400 \times 100\\\\x = \frac{8400 \times 100}{112} = 7500[/tex]

Therefore , cost price of the radio $7500

The amount she gained = 8400 - 7500 = $ 900

E. The ratio of monthly income to savings of a family is 7:2. If the savings is Rs. 500, find the monthly income and expenditure.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of monthly income to savings of the family is 7:2, we assume that the income be 7t and savings be 2t

Now, we are given that the savings is =Rs 500

So, According to our assumption, 2t=500

⇒t=250

Hence, the income of the family is =7×250=Rs 1750

And the expenditure is =Income−Savings

=Rs 1750−Rs 500

=Rs 1250

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 gallons. A previous study found that for an average family the standard deviation is 2 gallons and the mean is 16 gallons per day. If they are using a 95% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 784 is required to estimate the mean usage of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that 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 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/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 pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

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 standard deviation is 2 gallons

This means that [tex]\sigma = 2[/tex]

They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 gallons. How large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water?

This is n for which M = 0.14. So

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

[tex]0.14 = 1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.14\sqrt{n} = 1.96*2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*2}{0.14}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*2}{0.14})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 784[/tex]

A sample of 784 is required to estimate the mean usage of water.

s 96.4 40.0
n 97 125

Answers

Answer:

Hence , the means of Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass are significantly different.

Step-by-step expl;anation:

From the question we are told that:

Largemouth Bass:

[tex]\=x_1 =164.8[/tex]

[tex]s_1=96.4[/tex]

[tex]n_1=125[/tex]

Smallmouth Bass:

Assume

[tex]\alpha =0.05[/tex]

Generally The hypothesis is given as

H_0: The Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass are equal  

H_1: The Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass are  not equal

Generally the equation for Test statistics is mathematically given by

[tex]T=frac{( \=x_2 - \=x_1 )}{\sqrt{\frac{s^{1}}{n_1} + \frac{s_1^{2}}{n_2}}}[/tex]

[tex]T =\frac{(272.8 - 164.8)}{\sqrt{\frac{96.4^{2}}{125} + \frac{40^{2}}{97}}}[/tex]

[tex]T=\frac{108}{9.530925}[/tex]

[tex]T=11.33[/tex]

Therefore

From table

Critical Value

[tex]T_{\alpha,n_2-1}[/tex]

[tex]T_{0.05,96}=1.661[/tex]

Conclude

Since 11.33 is greater that 1.661 we eject the null hypothesis that the means are the same.

Hence , the means of Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass are significantly different.

(d) As part of its incentive program, any trader who obtains a daily return in the top 2% of historical returns receives a special bonus. What daily return is needed to get this bonus? (Use 3 decimals.)

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.321 = 32.1% probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day.

b) 0.103 = 10.3% probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row.

c) (-$1449.68, $3109.68)

d) A bonus of $4,488.174 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normal distribution with mean = $830 and standard deviation = $1,781.

This means that [tex]\mu = 830, \sigma = 1781[/tex]

(a) What is the probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 0, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0 - 830}{1781}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.466[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.466[/tex] has a p-value 0.321.

0.321 = 32.1% probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day.

(b) Assuming the returns on successive days are independent of each other, what is the probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row?

Each day, 0.3206 probability, so:

[tex](0.321)^2 = 0.103[/tex]

0.103 = 10.3% probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row.

(c) Give the boundaries of the interval containing the middle 80% of daily returns

Between the 50 - (80/2) = 10th percentile and the 50 + (80/2) = 90th percentile.

10th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.1, so X when Z = -1.28.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.28 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]

[tex]X - 830 = -1.28*1781[/tex]

[tex]X = -1449.68[/tex]

90th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]

[tex]X - 830 = 1.28*1781[/tex]

[tex]X = 3109.68[/tex]

So

(-$1449.68, $3109.68)

d) As part of its incentive program, any trader who obtains a daily return in the top 2% of historical returns receives a special bonus. What daily return is needed to get this bonus?

The 100 - 2 = 98th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.98, so X when Z = 2.054.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]2.054 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]

[tex]X - 830 = 2.054*1781[/tex]

[tex]X = 4488.174 [/tex]

A bonus of $4,488.174 is needed.
