A magazine article states that the mean weight of one-year-old boys is the same as that of one-year-old girls. Does the confidence interval contradict this statement? The confidence interval this statement

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, the confidence interval contradict this statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached below.

The data provided is:

[tex]n_{1}=318\\n_{2}=297\\\bar x_{1}=25\\\bar x_{2}=24.1\\s_{1}=3.6\\s_{2}=3.8[/tex]

Since the population standard deviations are not provided, we will use the t-confidence interval,

[tex]CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}\cdot s_{p}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

Compute the pooled standard deviation as follows:

[tex]s_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{(n_{1}-1)s_{1}^{2}+(n_{2}-1)s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2}}=\sqrt{\frac{(318-1)(3.6)^{2}+(297-1)(3.8)^{2}}{318+297-2}}=2.9723[/tex]

The critical value is:

[tex]t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}=t_{0.05/2, (318+297-2)}=t_{0.025, 613}=1.962[/tex]

*Use a t-table.

The 95% confidence interval is:

[tex]CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}\cdot s_{p}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

     [tex]=(25-24.1)\pm 1.962\times 2.9723\times \sqrt{\frac{1}{318}+\frac{1}{297}}\\\\=0.90\pm 0.471\\\\=(0.429, 1.371)\\\\\approx (0.43, 1.37)[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean weights is (0.43, 1.37).

To test the magazine's claim the hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: There is no difference between the mean weight of 1-year old boys and girls, i.e. [tex]\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}=0[/tex].

Hₐ: There is a significant difference between the mean weight of 1-year old boys and girls, i.e. [tex]\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\neq 0[/tex].

Decision rule:

If the confidence interval does not consists of the null value, i.e. 0, the null hypothesis will be rejected.

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean weights does not consists the value 0.

Thus, the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Conclusion:

There is a significant difference between the mean weight of 1-year old boys and 1-year old girls.

A Magazine Article States That The Mean Weight Of One-year-old Boys Is The Same As That Of One-year-old

For the functions f(x)=x4−x3−7x2+9x−2 and g(x)=x−1, find (f/g)(x) and (f/g)(2).

Answers

Answer:

[tex](f/g)(x)=\frac{x^4-x^3-7x^2+9x-2}{x-1} =x^3-7x+2\,\,\,for\,\,x\neq 1[/tex]

[tex](f/g)(2)=-4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex](f/g)(x)=\frac{x^4-x^3-7x^2+9x-2}{x-1} =x^3-7x+2\,\,\,for\,\,x\neq 1[/tex]  and undefined for x = 1.

Notice that (x-1) is in fact a factor of f(x), so the quotient of the two functions introduces a "hole" for the new function at x = 1.

In a survey of 300 T.V. viewers, 40% said they watch network news programs. Find the margin of error for this survey if we want 95% confidence in our estimate of the percent of T.V. viewers who watch network news programs.

Answers

Answer:

0.05543

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the margin of error is expressed as;

[tex]M.E = z * \sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }[/tex] where;

z is the z-score at 95% confidence = 1.96 (This is gotten from z-table)

p is the percentage probability of those that watched network news

p = 40% = 0.4

n is the sample size = 300

Substituting this values into the formula will give;

[tex]M.E = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.4(1-0.4)}{300} }\\ \\M.E = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.4(0.6)}{300} }\\\\\\M.E = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.24}{300} }\\\\\\M.E = 1.96*\sqrt{0.0008}\\\\\\M.E = 1.96*0.02828\\\\M.E \approx 0.05543[/tex]

Hence, the margin of error for this survey if we want 95% confidence in our estimate of the percent of T.V. viewers who watch network news programs is approximately 0.05543

Find the value of annuity if the periodic deposit is $1500 at 8% compounded semiannually for 22 years

Answers

Answer:

The value of  annuity is [tex]P_v = \$ 32058[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The periodic payment is  [tex]P = \$ 1500[/tex]

     The  interest rate  is   [tex]r = 8\% = 0.08[/tex]

     Frequency at which it occurs in a year is  n = 2 (semi-annually )

      The number of years is  [tex]t = 22 \ years[/tex]

The  value of the annuity is mathematically represented as

             [tex]P_v = P * [1 - (1 + \frac{r}{n} )^{-t * n} ] * [\frac{(1 + \frac{r}{n} )}{ \frac{r}{n} } ][/tex](reference EDUCBA website)

 substituting values

             [tex]P_v = 1500 * [1 - (1 + \frac{0.08}{2} )^{-22 * 2} ] * [\frac{(1 + \frac{0.08}{2} )}{ \frac{0.08}{2} } ][/tex]

             [tex]P_v = 1500 * [1 - (1.04 )^{-44} ] * [\frac{(1.04 )}{0.04} ][/tex]

             [tex]P_v = 1500 * [1 - 0.178 ] * [\frac{(1.04 )}{0.04} ][/tex]

Answer:

B y ≥ 4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find slope of the line: (y² - y¹) / (x² - x¹)

(0, 2) and (-1, -2)

(-2 - 2) / (-1 - 0) = -4 / -1 = 4

y = 4x + 2*

*+2 because that is the y-intercept as shown by point (0, 2)

2. the line is solid, therefore the inequality is ≤ or ≥. dashed line would mean < or >

Find all the zeros of the polynomial function p(x) = x3 – 5x2 + 33x – 29

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \ \ x=1, \ \ x=2+5i, \ \ x=2-5i \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

I assume that we are working in [tex]\mathbb{C}[/tex], otherwise there is only one zero which is 1. Please consider the following.

First of all, we can notice that 1 is a trivial solution as

   [tex]p(1) = 1^3-5\cdot 1^2 + 33\cdot 1-29=1-5+33-29=0[/tex]

It means that (x-1) is a factor of p(x) so we can find two real numbers, a and b, so that we can write the following.

[tex]p(x)=(x-1)(x^2+ax+b)=x^3+ax^2+bx-x^2-ax-b=x^3+(a-1)x^2+(b-a)x-b[/tex]

Let's identify like terms as below.

a-1 = -5 <=> a = -5 + 1 = -4

b-a = 33

-b = -29 <=> b = 29

So

[tex]\boxed{ \ p(x)=(x-1)(x^2-4x+29) \ }[/tex]

Now, we need to find the zeroes of the second factor, meaning finding x so that:

[tex]x^2-4x+29=0 \ \text{ complete the square, 29 = 25 + 4} \\ \\ <=> x^2-2\cdot 2 \cdot x+2^2+25=0 \\ \\ <=>(x-2)^2=-25=(5i)^2 \ \text{ take the root } \\ \\<=>x-2=\pm 5i \ \text{ add 2 } \\ \\ <=> x = 2+5i \ \text{ or } \ x = 2-5i[/tex]

Hope this helps.

Where L is the length, in feet, of the pendulum, and π is approximately 22/7. How long must the pendulum be if one complete cycle takes 8 seconds?

Answers

Answer:

The simple pendulum should be 15.9 m long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Approximately (for small amplitudes), the period of a simple pendulum is

T = 2*pi * sqrt (L/g), L=length

using pi = 22/7, and g=9.8 m/s^2

8 = 2* 22/7 * sqrt(L/9.8)

solve for L

L = (8*7/(2*22))^2 * 9.8

= 15.874 m

That's quite a long pendulum!

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 17 = -x + 7

Add x on both sides.

5x - 17 + x = -x + 7 + x

6x - 17 = 7

Add 17 on both sides.

6x - 17 + 17 = 7 + 17

6x = 24

Divide both sides by 6.

(6x)/6 = 24/6

x = 4

The Fine Line Pen Company makes two types of ballpoint pens: a silver model and a gold model. The silver model requires 1 minute in a grinder and 3 minutes in a bonder. The gold model requires 3 minutes in a grinder and 4 minutes in a bonder. Because of maintenance procedures, the grinder can be operated no more than 30 hours per week and the bonder no more than 50 hours per week. The company makes $5 on each silver pen and $7 on each gold pen. How many of each type of pen should be produced and sold each week to maximize profits?

Answers

Answer:

Optimal production = 600 gold pens

Revenue  = 600*7 = $4200 gold pens

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fine Line Pen Company makes two types of ballpoint pens: a silver model and a gold model.

A. The silver model requires 1 minute in a grinder and 3 minutes in a bonder.

B. The gold model requires 3 minutes in a grinder and 4 minutes in a bonder.

Because of maintenance procedures,

C. the grinder can be operated no more than 30 hours per week and

D. the bonder no more than 50 hours per week.

The company makes

E. $5 on each silver pen and

F. $7 on each gold pen.

How many of each type of pen should be produced and sold each week to maximize profits?

Solution:

We will solve the problem graphically, with number of silver pens, x, on the x axis, and number of gold pens, y, on the y axis, i.e.

1. From A and C, the maximum number of silver pens

x <= 30*60 / 1 = 1800 and

x <= 50*60 /3 = 1000  ....................(1)   bonder governs

2. from A & D, the maximum number of gold pens

y <= 30*60 / 3 = 600 .....................(2) grinder governs

y <= 50*60 / 4 = 750

3. From D,

x + 3y <= 30*60 = 1800  ...................(limit of grinder) ..... (3)

3x + 4y <= 50*60 = 3000 .................(limit of bonder)  .......(4)

Need to maximize profit,

Z(x,y) = 5x+7y, represented by parallel lines y = -5x/7 + k such that all constraints of (3) and (4) are satisfied.

The maximum is obtained when Z passes through (360,480), i.e. at intersection of constraints (3) and (4).  Using slope intercept form,

(y-480) = -(5/7)(x-360)

or y=-(5/7)x + (737+1/7)    [the purple line] which violates the red line, so not a solution.

Next try the point (0,600)

(y-600) = -(5/7)(x-0), or

y = 600 - (5/7)x   [the black line]

As we can see all point on the black (in the first quadrant) satisfy the constraints, so it is a feasible solution, and is the optimal solution, with a revenue of

Revenue  = 600*7 = 4200 gold pens

A tower is 40 ft tall and 20 ft wide. A model of the tower is 5 in. tall. Identify the width of the model in inches.

Answers

Answer:

The width of the model will be  2.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The tower was scaled down by a factor to a smaller size in the model. We are to, first of all, determine this factor and then use it to scale down the width of the model.

Step One: Determine the scale factor from the tower height.

The scale factor is obtained from the formula:

Scale factor = model size / observed size

This will be

Height of model tower/ height of the real tower.

The height of the model tower is 5 inches which is the same as 0.416667 ft

Scale factor = 0.416667 ft/ 40ft = 0.0104

Step two:  Multiply the width of the real-life tower by the scale factor to get the model width.

Width of model =20ft X 0.0104 = 0.208ft

Step three:  Convert your answer back to inches.

We will now have to convert 0.208 ft back to inches by multiplying by 12

This will be 0.208 X 12 =2.5 inches.

The width of the model will be  2.5 inches

Answer:

  φ ≈ 1.19029 radians   (≈ 68.2°)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are simple formulas for A and φ in this conversion, but it can be instructive to see how they are derived.

We want to compare ...

  y(t) = Asin(ωt +φ)

to

  y(t) = Psin(ωt) +Qcos(ωt)

Using trig identities to expand the first equation, we have ...

  y(t) = Asin(ωt)cos(φ) +Acos(ωt)sin(φ)

Matching coefficients with the second equation, we have ...

  P = Acos(φ)

  Q = Asin(φ)

The ratio of these eliminates A and gives a relation for φ:

  Q/P = sin(φ)/cos(φ)

  Q/P = tan(φ)

  φ = arctan(Q/P) . . . . taking quadrant into account

__

We can also use our equations for P and Q to find A:

  P² +Q² = (Acos(φ))² +(Asin(φ))² = A²(cos(φ)² +sin(φ)²) = A²

  A = √(P² +Q²)

_____

Here, we want φ.

  φ = arctan(Q/P) = arctan(5/2)

  φ ≈ 1.19029 . . . radians

To determine the number of dishwashers the company must produce and sell in order to maximize profit, we need to find the value of x that corresponds to the maximum point of the profit function.

The profit (P) is given by the equation:

P(x) = Revenue - Cost

The revenue is calculated by multiplying the price per dishwasher (p) by the number of dishwashers sold (x):

Revenue = p * x

The cost is given by the function C(x):

Cost = C(x)

Therefore, the profit function can be expressed as:

P(x) = p * x - C(x)

Substituting the given expressions for p and C(x):

P(x) = (420 - 0.3x) * x - (5000 + 0.3x²)

Expanding and simplifying the equation:

P(x) = 420x - 0.3x² - 5000 - 0.3x²

Combining like terms:

P(x) = -0.6x² + 420x - 5000

To find the value of x that maximizes profit, we need to find the vertex of the quadratic function. The x-coordinate of the vertex can be determined using the formula:

x = -b / (2a)

In our case, a = -0.6 and b = 420:

x = -420 / (2 * -0.6)

x = -420 / (-1.2)

x = 350

350 dishwashers must the company produce and sell in order to maximize profit.

Maxima means a point at which the function attains the maximum value.

Given the following information:

Price per dishwasher, p = 420 - 0.3x

Total cost of producing x dishwashers, C(x) = 5000 + 0.3x2

Profit= Total Selling price- Total Cost Price

Total Selling price of x dishwasher, S.P= xp

S.P=x(420 - 0.3x)

S.P=420x - 0.3x²

Profit= 420x - 0.3x² - ( 5000 + 0.3x²)

Profit= 420x - 0.3x² - 5000 - 0.3x²

Profit=  -0.6x²+420x-5000

So, profit, f(x)=-0.6x²+420x-5000

To determine the value of x so that maximum profit is possible:

1. Calculate the first derivative of profit function and calculate the value of x by equating it to zero.

2. Select that value of x for which the profit function attains the maximum value, to check the maxima calculate 2nd derivative, if it gives a negative value for the value of x. Then, x is the point of maxima for the given function.

[tex]f(x)=-0.6x^2+420x-5000\\f\prime(x)=-1.2x+420\\f\prime(x)=0\\-1.2x+420=0[/tex]

Calculating the value of x by transposing,

x=420/1.2

x=350

To check maxima, calculating second derivative.

[tex]f\prime(x)=-1.2x+420=0\\f\prime\prime(x)=-1.2[/tex]

2nd derivative is negative, it means that x=350 is the point of maxima.

Thus, a company must produce and sell 350 dishwashers in order to maximize profit.
