Astrid is in charge of building a new fleet of ships. Each ship requires 40 tons of wood, and accommodates 300 sailors. She receives a delivery of 4 tons of wood each day. The deliveries can continue for 100 days at most, afterwards the weather is too bad to allow them. Overall, she wants to build enough ships to accommodate at least 2100 sailors. How much wood does Astrid need to accommodate 2100 sailors?
Answer:
280 tons of wood.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question:
To make 1 ship = we require 40 tons of wood.
1 ship = can accommodate 300 sailors.
Step 1
If :
300 sailors = 1 ship
2100 sailors = y ships
Cross Multiply
300 × y ships = 1 ship × 2100 sailors
y ships = 2100 / 300
y ships = 7
Hence, 2100 sailors can occupy 7 ships.
Step 2
We are told in the question that:
Astrid wants to build enough ships to accommodate at least 2100 sailors. How much wood does Astrid need to accommodate 2100 sailors?
If:
1 ship = 40 tons of wood
Since 7 ships can accommodate 2100 sailors,
7 ships =
7 × 40 tons of wood = 280 tons of wood.
Therefore , Astrid needs 280 tons of wood to accommodate 2100 sailors.

b. What is the population of interest? American teenagers? American teenagers between ages 12-17? Americans? Teenagers?
Answer:
"Teens and Distracted Driving: Texting, Talking and Other Uses of the Cell Phone Behind the Wheel"
a. The inference made involves estimation. The question provided that the statements were made on the basis of the resulting data and not on the basis of some hypothesis testing.
This implies that some statistics were calculated from sample data to approximate the population parameter, as shown in the statements. The statements were not an attempt to establish the statistical significance of some claims.
b. The population of interest is American teenagers between 12-17.
Step-by-step explanation:
An inference from data is a statistical estimation by which some statistics are calculated based on the sample data of 800 teens between the ages of 12 and 17. The statistics serve as an approximation to the population parameter.
Inference based on hypothesis testing establishes if a claim has statistical significance by providing statistical evidence in favor of the claim or against it.

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
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
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?
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
Determine whether the sequence converges or diverges. If it converges, find the limit. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
an = (−3^n)/(4n!)
Answer:
[tex]a_{i} = \frac{(-3)^{i}}{4\cdot i!}[/tex] converges.
Step-by-step explanation:
The convergence analysis of this sequence is done by Ratio Test. That is to say:
[tex]r = \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}[/tex], where sequence converges if and only if [tex]|r| < 1[/tex].
Let be [tex]a_{i} = \frac{(-3)^{i}}{4\cdot i!}[/tex], the ratio for the expression is:
[tex]r =-\frac{3}{n+1}[/tex]
[tex]|r| = \frac{3}{n+1}[/tex]
Inasmuch [tex]n[/tex] becomes bigger, then [tex]r \longrightarrow 0[/tex]. Hence, [tex]a_{i} = \frac{(-3)^{i}}{4\cdot i!}[/tex] converges.

(b) 55 s
Percentage = (0.2/55)×100
≈ 0.36%
(c) 5.5 min
5.5 min = 5.5 × 60 s
= 330 s
Percentage = (0.2/330)×100

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]

A racecar is traveling at a constant speed of 150 miles per hour. How many feet does it travel in 5 seconds? Remember that 1 mile is 5280 feet.
Answer:
distance covered in 5 seconds
= 1.4283 *10^10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A racecar is traveling at a constant speed of 150 miles per hour.
One mile = 5280 feet
150 miles= 5290*150
150 miles= 793500 feet
A racecar is traveling at a constant speed of 793500 feet per hour.
Converting 793500 feet per hour to feet per seconds .
793500 feet per hour
= 793500*60*60 feet per seconds
=2856600000 feet per second
In 5 seconds , distance covered
= 2856600000 *5
distance covered in 5 seconds
= 1.4283 *10^10 feet
In a random sample of 64 people, 48 are classified as 'successful.' Determine the sample proportion of 'successful' people.
Answer:
The sample proportion of 'successful' people is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The sample consist of 64 people and 48 of them are 'successful'. Hence, the proportion of 'successful' people is:
[tex]p = \frac{n}{N}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]N[/tex] - People that forms the sample, dimensionless.
[tex]n[/tex] - People classified as 'successful', dimensionless.
Given that [tex]n = 48[/tex] and [tex]N = 64[/tex], the sample proportion of 'successful' people is:
[tex]p = \frac{48}{64}[/tex]
[tex]p = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
The sample proportion of 'successful' people is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex].

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

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The only graph shown in the question doesn't have amplitude 1/2. look for a graph of a periodic wave function that has maximum y-value 1/2 (0.5) and minimum y-value 1/2 (0.5), or if it is not oscillating around the x-axis, verifies that the distance between minimum y-value and maximum y-value is "1" (one). This is because the amplitude is half of the peak-to-peak distance.

For a given confidence level, t ? df is larger than z ? . Explain how t ∗ df being slightly larger than z ∗ affects the width of the confidence interval.
Answer:
Answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of the CI is directly proportional to critical value. When t* is greater than z value, the t value would then cause the margin of error to be larger and this will in turn cause the width of the confidence interval to be larger.
Greater t*df than z* gives us a bigger margin of error. This would in turn give bigger width of confidence interval. t distribution has greater width confidence interval compared to z distribution.
The width of confidence interval is a function of the margin of error. If the critical value of t(t*) is slightly larger than the critical value of z(z*), then the width of the confidence interval will be larger.
The margin of error is the product of the critical value and the standard error. Therefore, given the same standard error value, the value of the margin of error will increases based on the value of the critical value.
Since, t* is slightly larger than z*, then the confidence interval, t will be wider.

A particular country has total states. If the areas states are added and the sum is divided by , the result is square kilometers. Determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter.
Answer:
Some texts are missing from the question, I found a possible match, and here it is:
A particular country has total of 45 states. If the areas of 35 states are added and the sum is divided by 35, the result is 135,600 square kilometres. Determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter.
Answer:
The result is a statistic because the data involved are samples.
Step-by-step explanation:
A Parameter is a numerical representation of an entire population. That is they are numbers summarizing data for an entire population. In this case, if all the 45 states were measured, the result would have been a parameter.
On the other hand, statistics are numbers that are subsets (representative portions) of an entire population. Since 35 states were chosen out of 45 states, the average area of the 35 states is a statistic and not a parameter.

Given a population with a mean of µ = 100 and a variance of σ2 = 1600, the central limit theorem applies when the sample size is n ≥ 25. A random sample of size n = 50 is obtained. • What are the mean and variance of the sampling distribution for the sample means? • What is the probability that ¯X > 110?
Answer:
The probability that the sample mean is more than 110 is 0.0384.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have an unknown population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the sampling distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.
Then, the mean of the sampling distribution of sample mean is given by:
[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu[/tex]
And the variance of the sampling distribution of sample mean is given by:
[tex]\sigma^{2}_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}[/tex]
The information provided is:
[tex]n=50\\\\\mu=100\\\\\sigma^{2}=1600[/tex]
Since n = 50 > 30, the central limit theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of sample mean by the normal distribution.
The mean variance of the sampling distribution for the sample mean are:
[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu=100\\\\\sigma^{2}_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}=\frac{1600}{50}=32[/tex]
That is, [tex]\bar X\sim N(100, 32)[/tex].
Compute the probability that the sample mean is more than 110 as follows:
[tex]P(\bar X>110)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}}>\frac{110-100}{\sqrt{32}})[/tex]
[tex]=P(Z>1.77)\\=1-P(Z<1.77)\\=1-0.96164\\=0.03836\\\approx 0.0384[/tex]
*Use a z-table.
Thus, the probability that the sample mean is more than 110 is 0.0384.

Answer:
32.8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy is driving to Seattle. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of her driving time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95. See the figure below. Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving. How many miles will be remaining after 47 minutes of driving?
Answer: The general equation of a line is given as y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis. Given that the slope is -0.95, substituting in the general equation :
y = -0.95x + c
Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving, to find c, we substitute y = 48 and x = 31. Therefore:
48 = -0.95(31) + c
c = 48 + 0.95(31)
c = 48 + 29.45
c = 77.45
The equation of the line is
y = -0.95x + 77.45
After 47 minutes of driving, the miles remaining can be gotten by substituting x = 47 and finding y.
y = -0.95(47) + 77.45
y = -44.65 + 77.45
y = 32.8 miles

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

A cubical sandbox has a volume of 91.125 cubic inches. What is the side length of the
sandbox?
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
To find the volume of a cube, you simply cube the side length (multiply it by itself three times). This is because all of the sides of a cube are the same and if you multiply the length by the width by the height it is the same number multiplied by itself three times.
We already know that the volume is 91.125 cubic inches. To find the side length, we simply do the cube root on our calculator, which tells us what number we cube to get 91.125.
∛91.125=4.5
Therefore, the side length of the sandbox is 4.5 inches.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
