g The pH measurements of water specimens from various locations along a given river basin are Normally distributed, with mean 8 and standard deviation 0.3. You take water specimens from four randomly selected locations on this river basin. What is the probability that the mean pH measurement of these four specimens is greater than 8.2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0918 = 9.18% probability that the mean pH measurement of these four specimens is greater than 8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean 8 and standard deviation 0.3.

This means that [tex]\mu = 8, \sigma = 0.3[/tex]

Sample of 4:

This means that [tex]n = 4, s = \frac{0.3}{\sqrt{4}} = 0.15[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean pH measurement of these four specimens is greater than 8.2?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8.2. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{8.2 - 8}{0.15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.33[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.33[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9082

1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918

0.0918 = 9.18% probability that the mean pH measurement of these four specimens is greater than 8.2

In a random sample of 42 Democrats from one city, 10 approved of the mayor's performance. In a random sample of 58 Republicans from the city, 12 approved of the mayor's performance. Find a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Democrats and Republicans who approve of the mayor's performance.

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Democrats and Republicans who approve of the mayor's performance is (-0.1078, 0.1702).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction of normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the subtraction of the means while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

In a random sample of 42 Democrats from one city, 10 approved of the mayor's performance.

This means that:

[tex]p_D = \frac{10}{42} = 0.2381, s_D = \sqrt{\frac{0.2381*(1-0.2381)}{42}} = 0.0657[/tex]

In a random sample of 58 Republicans from the city, 12 approved of the mayor's performance.

This means that:

[tex]p_R = \frac{12}{58} = 0.2069, s_R = \sqrt{\frac{0.2069*(1-0.2069)}{58}} = 0.0532[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]p = p_D - p_R = 0.2381 - 0.2069 = 0.0312[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{0.0657^2+0.0532^2} = 0.0845[/tex]

Confidence interval:

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 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = zs[/tex]

[tex]M = 1.645*0.0845 = 0.139[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 0.0312 - 0.139 = -0.1078

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 0.0312 + 0.139 = 0.1702

The 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Democrats and Republicans who approve of the mayor's performance is (-0.1078, 0.1702).

Consider a taxi station where taxis and customers arrive in accordance with Poisson processes with respective rates of one and three per minute. A taxi will wait no matter how many other taxis are present. However, an arriving customer that does not find a taxi waiting leaves. Find the proportion of arriving customers that get taxis.

Answers

Answer:

The proportion of arriving customers that get taxis is:

= 33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of arrival of taxis = 1 per minute

In one hour, the number of taxis arriving = 60 (60/1)

Rate of arrival of customers = 3 per minute

In one hour, the number of customers arriving = 180 (60 * 3)

The proportion of arriving customers that get taxis = 60/180

= 0.333

= 33%

b) Since the taxis wait until they get a customer, it means that they will likely transport one out of 3 customers who arrive.  Therefore, the proportion of arriving customers that get taxis is equal to 1/3 or 60/180, which is equal to 33%.

Answer:

$90

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Given data

Loss= $13.5

Percentage of the loss= 15%

Let the full loss be x

Hence we can find the value of x as

15/100*x= 13.5

0.15x= 13.5

divide both sides by x

x= 13.5/0.15

x= $90

Hence the loss in full is $90

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation P(t) that represents the growth function for China is P(t) = 1.39 * ( 1.006)ⁿ.

What is a Function ?

A statement that relates two unknown parameters such that one is dependent on the other is called a function.

It is given that

Initial population = 1.39 billion in 2013

Growth Rate = 0.6%

Let a represent the initial population

b is the growth rate

and 2 be the elapsed year from 2013

and let the population at any given year is P(t)

Then the equation formed is

P(t) = a * bⁿ

P(t) = 1.39 * ( 1.006)ⁿ

Therefore the equation P(t) that represents the growth function for China is P(t) = 1.39 * ( 1.006)ⁿ.
