Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean arrival delay time for all American Airlines flights from Dallas to Sacramento to within 6 minutes with 95% confidence. Based on a previous study, arrival delay times have a standard deviation of 39.6 minutes.
Answers
Answer:
The sample size necessary is of 168.
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.
Based on a previous study, arrival delay times have a standard deviation of 39.6 minutes.
This means that [tex]\sigma = 39.6[/tex]
Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean arrival delay time for all American Airlines flights from Dallas to Sacramento to within 6 minutes with 95% confidence.
This is n for which M = 6. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]6 = 1.96\frac{39.6}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]6\sqrt{n} = 1.96*39.6[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*39.6}{6}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*39.6}{6})^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 167.34[/tex]

Answer:
The 1st,Thrid, Fifth Option
Step-by-step explanation:
The first option is true. We can move the orginal square root function to get g(x).
The second option is false. Function g(x) which equals
[tex] \sqrt{x - 3} - 1[/tex]
Domain is all real numbers greater than or equal to 3.
The third option is true. Since minimum point we can get is 0 in a square root function. We have a vertical shift so our new minimum point is
[tex]0 - 1 = - 1[/tex]
We can take the sqr root of 0 so
So all real numbers that are greater than or equal to -1 is true.
The fourth option is false, we need to add 3 instead of subtract 3.
The fifth option is true, we can do that to get back to our original function
Let f(x) = 5 + 12x − x^3. Find (a) the x- coordinate of all inflection points, (b)
the open intervals on which f is concave up, (c) the open intervals on which
f is concave down.
Answers
Answer:
A) x = 0.
B) f is concave up for (-∞, 0).
C) f is concave down for (0, ∞).
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the function:
[tex]f(x)=5+12x-x^3[/tex]
A)
We want to find the x-coordinates of all inflection points.
Recall that inflections points (may) occur when the second derivative equals zero. Hence, find the second derivative. The first derivative is given by:
[tex]f'(x) = 12-3x^2[/tex]
And the second:
[tex]f''(x) = -6x[/tex]
Set the second derivative equal to zero:
[tex]0=-6x[/tex]
And solve for x. Hence:
[tex]x=0[/tex]
We must test the solution. In order for it to be an inflection point, the second derivative must change signs before and after. Testing x = -1:
[tex]f''(-1) = 6>0[/tex]
And testing x = 1:
[tex]f''(1) = -6<0[/tex]
Since the signs change for x = 0, x = 0 is indeed an inflection point.
B)
Recall that f is concave up when f''(x) is positive, and f is concave down when f''(x) is negative.
From the testing in Part A, we know that f''(x) is positive for all values less than zero. Hence, f is concave up for all values less than zero. Our interval is:
[tex](-\infty, 0)[/tex]
C)
From Part A, we know that f''(x) is negative for all values greater than zero. So, f is concave down for that interval:
[tex](0, \infty)[/tex]

The regression analysis can be summarized as follows: Multiple Choice No significant relationship exists between the variables. A significant negative relationship exists between the variables. For every unit increase in x, y decreases by 12.8094. A significant positive relationship exists between the variables
Answers
Answer:
A significant negative relationship exists between the variables
Step-by-step explanation:
Base on the information given in the question which goes thus : For every unit increase in x, y decreases by 12.8094. The value 12.8094 is the slope which is the rate of change in y variable per unit change in the independent variable. The sign or nature of the slope Coefficient gives an hint about the relationship between the x and y variables. The slope Coefficient in this case is negative and thus we'll have a negative relationship between the x and y variables (an increase in x leads to a corresponding decrease in y). This is a negative association.

B. The 90% confidence interval is from ____to ____.
Answers
Answer:
(a) [tex]H_o:\mu_1 = \mu_2[/tex] [tex]H_a:\mu_1 > \mu_2[/tex]
(b) [tex]t = 0.74[/tex]
(c) [tex]p =0.2331[/tex]
(d) [tex]CI = (-2.095,4.095)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\bar x_1=21,\ s_1=4,\ n_1=12,\\ \bar x_2=20,\ s_2=3,\ n_2=15[/tex]
Solving (a): The hypotheses
The test is right-tailed, means that the alternate hypothesis will contain greater than sign.
So, we have:
[tex]H_o:\mu_1 = \mu_2[/tex]
[tex]H_a:\mu_1 > \mu_2[/tex]
Solving (b); The test statistic (t)
This is calculated as:
[tex]t = \frac{\bar x_1 - \bar x_2}{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2(n_1 - 1) + s_2^2(n_2 - 1)}{n_1 + n_2 - 2} * (\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2})}}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]t = \frac{21 - 20}{\sqrt{\frac{4^2(12 - 1) + 3^2(15 - 1)}{12 + 15 - 2} * (\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{15})}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{302}{25} * (0.15)}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{1}{\sqrt{12.08 * 0.15}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1.812}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{1}{1.346}[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.74[/tex]
Solving (c): The P-value
First, we calculate the degrees of freedom
[tex]df = n_1 + n_2 -2[/tex]
[tex]df = 12+15 -2[/tex]
[tex]df = 25[/tex]
Using the t distribution, the p-value is:
[tex]p =TDIST(0.74,25)[/tex]
[tex]p =0.2331[/tex]
Solving (d): The 90% confidence interval
Calculate significance level
[tex]\alpha = 1 - CI[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 1 - 90\%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]
Calculate the t value (t*)
[tex]t^* = (\alpha/2,df)[/tex]
[tex]t^* = (0.10/2,25)[/tex]
[tex]t^* = (0.05,25)[/tex]
[tex]t^* = 1.708[/tex]
The confidence interval is calculated using:
[tex]CI = (\bar x - \bar x_2) \± t^* *\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2(n_1 - 1) + s_2^2(n_2 - 1)}{n_1 + n_2 - 2} * (\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2})}[/tex]
[tex]CI = (21 - 20) \± 1.708 *\sqrt{\frac{4^2(12 - 1) + 3^2(15 - 1)}{12 + 15 - 2} * (\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{15})}[/tex]
[tex]CI = 1 \± 1.708 *1.812[/tex]
[tex]CI = 1 \± 3.095[/tex]
Split
[tex]CI = 1 - 3.095 \ or\ 1 + 3.095[/tex]
[tex]CI = -2.095 \ or\ 4.095[/tex]
[tex]CI = (-2.095,4.095)[/tex]
There are 40 children in a classroom and n of them do not wear spectacles. (4)/(5) of the boys and (2)/(3) of the girls wear spectacles. Express the number of boys who wear spectacles in terms of n.
Answers
9514 1404 393
Answer:
b = 80 -6n . . . . boys who wear spectacles
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the ratio of boys who wear spectacles to those who don't is ...
(4/5) : (1 -4/5) = 4 : 1
If we let b represent the number of boys who wear spectacles, then the number who don't is b/4. Then total number of boys is then b +b/4 = 5b/4. The number of girls in the classroom is this number less than 40.
Let's define a few groups:
boys who wear spectacles: bboys who do not wear spectacles: b/4girls who wear spectacles: (2/3)(40 -5b/4)girls who do not wear spectacles (1/3)(40 -5b/4)Then the total of children who do not wear spectacles is ...
n = b/4 +(1/3)(40 -5b/4)
12n = 3b +(160 -5b) = 160 -2b . . . . multiply by 12
2b = 160 -12n . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 2b-12n
b = 80 -6n . . . . the desired relation, b = boys who wear spectacles
_____

A previous study indicated thatthe standard deviation was2.2 days. a) How large a sample must be selected if thecompany wants to be 92% confident that the true mean differs from the sample mean by nomore than 1 day
Answers
Answer:
A sample of 18 is required.
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 - 0.92}{2} = 0.04[/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 - 0.04 = 0.96[/tex], so Z = 1.88.
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.
A previous study indicated that the standard deviation was 2.2 days.
This means that [tex]\sigma = 2.2[/tex]
How large a sample must be selected if the company wants to be 92% confident that the true mean differs from the sample mean by no more than 1 day?
This is n for which M = 1. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]1 = 1.88\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.88*2.2[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.88*2.2)^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 17.1[/tex]

A ball is thrown from an initial height of 7 feet with an initial upward velocity of 23 ft/s. The ball's height h (in feet) after 1 seconds is given by the following.
h = 7+23t-16t^2
Find all values of 1 for which the ball's height is 15 feet.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are looking for the time(s) that the ball is at a height of 15, we simply sub in a 15 for the height in the position equation and solve for t:
[tex]15=-16t^2+23t+7[/tex] and
[tex]0=-16t^2+23t-8[/tex]
Factor this however you factor a quadratic in class to get
t = .59 seconds and t = .85 seconds.
This means that .59 seconds after the ball was thrown into the air it was 15 feet off the ground. Then the ball reached its max height, gravity took over, and began pulling it back down to earth. The ball passes the height of 15 feet again on its way down after .85 seconds.
The population of the world in 1987 was 5 billion and the annual growth rate was estimated at 2 percent per year. Assuming that the world population follows an exponential growth model, find the projected world population in 2015
Answers
Answer:
The projected world population in 2015 was 8,705,121,030 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the population of the world in 1987 was 5 billion and the annual growth rate was estimated at 2 percent per year, assuming that the world population follows an exponential growth model, to find the projected world population in 2015 the following calculation must be performed :
5,000,000,000 x 1.02 ^ (2015-1987) = X
5,000,000,000 x 1.02 ^ 28 = X
5,000,000,000 x 1.741024 = X
8,705,121,030 = X
Therefore, the projected world population in 2015 was 8,705,121,030 people.
The number 0 is a critical point of the autonomous differential equation dx/dt = 7xn, where n is a positive integer. For what values of n is 0 asymptotically stable? Semi-stable? Unstable?
Answers
Answer:
a) 0 is stable when n = odd
b) 0 is semi-stable when n = even
c) 0 is unstable when n is odd
Step-by-step explanation:
Th differential equation for this question
dx/dt = x^n
n = positive integer
a) value of n where 0 is stable
0 is stable when x^n is replaced with -x^n
because considering n to be an odd number
-x^n > 0 when x < 0 while -x^n < 0 when x > 0
∴ In this scenerio we can conclude that 0 is stable when n = odd number
b) Value of n where 0 is Semi-stable
assuming n is an even number
x^n > 0 for all the values of x
c) Value of n where 0 is unstable
lets assume n is odd
when n < 0, xⁿ < 0
when n > 0, xⁿ > 0
i.e. 0 is asymptotically unstable when n is an odd number

-(4^2)-5(-1^3)
-16-5(-1)
-16+5
-11
Answer:
- 11
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = 4, y = -1
then,
- x^2 - 5y^3 = - (4)^2 - 5(-1)^3
= - 16 + 5
= - 11
A soft drink manufacturer wishes to know how many soft drinks adults drink each week. They want to construct a 95% confidence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 3.1 soft drinks per week and found the variance to be 0.49. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answer:
The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 295.
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.
Variance of 0.49:
This means that [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{0.49} = 0.7[/tex]
They want to construct a 95% confidence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval?
The minimum sample size is n for which M = 0.08. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.08 = 1.96\frac{0.7}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.08\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.7[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.7}{0.08}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.7}{0.08})^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 294.1[/tex]
Rounding up:
The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 295.
