In a survey, 29 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $41 and standard deviation of $8. Construct a confidence interval at a 99% confidence level.
Give your answers to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The  99%  confidence interval is

                     [tex]37.167< \= x < 44.833[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  [tex]n = 29[/tex]

  The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x =[/tex]$41

  The  sample standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma =[/tex]$8

   The  level of confidence is [tex]C =[/tex]99%

Given that the confidence level id  99% the level of confidence is evaluated as

        [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 1[/tex]%

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table which is  

      [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

The reason we are obtaining values for  is because  is the area under the normal distribution curve for both the left and right tail where the 99% interval did not cover while   is the area under the normal distribution curve for just one tail and we need the  value for one tail in order to calculate the confidence interval

Next we evaluate the margin of error which is mathematically represented as

          [tex]MOE = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]MOE = 2.58 * \frac{8 }{\sqrt{29} }[/tex]

           [tex]MOE = 3.8328[/tex]

The 99% confidence level is constructed as follows

      [tex]\= x - MOE < \= x < \= x + MOE[/tex]

substituting values

    [tex]41 - 3.8328 < \= x < 41 + 3.8328[/tex]

     [tex]37.167< \= x < 44.833[/tex]

Compute​ P(X) using the binomial probability formula. Then determine whether the normal distribution can be used to estimate this probability. If​ so, approximate​ P(X) using the normal distribution and compare the result with the exact probability. nequals=5353​, pequals=0.30.3​, and Xequals=20

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: P(X) calculated by the binomial probability formula is:

P(X) = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}n\\X\end{array}\right][/tex].[tex]p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

P(20) = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}53\\20\end{array}\right] .(0.3)^{20}.(1-0.3)^{33}[/tex]

P(20) = [tex]\frac{53!}{33!.20!}.3.5.10^{-11}.7.7.10^{-6}[/tex]

P(20) = 0.0552

To determine whether the normal distribution can be used to estimate this probability, both n.p and n.(1-p) must be greater than 5:

n . p = 53*0.3 = 15.9

n.(1-p) = 53(1-0.3) = 37.1

Since both ARE greater than 5, normal distribution can be used.

To approximate:

mean = n . p = 15.9

standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{n.p.(1-p)}[/tex] = 3.34

Find the z-score:

z = [tex]\frac{x - mean}{sd}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{20-15.9}{3.34} = 1.23[/tex]

z-score = 0.8907

Comparing values:

0.8907 - 0.0552 = 0.8355

probability that only one is defective?

Answers

Answer: 0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

P(1 unit is defective)= C2  1* P^1*Q^1

C2 1= 2!/(1!*(2-1)!)=2

P=0.1 - probability that items from a production line are defective  

Q=1-0.1=0.9 - probability that items from a production line are functional.

P(1 unit is defective)= 2*0.1*0.9=0.18

a. What is the area and circumference of circle P? Explain how you calculated this answer. b. If the arc measure of arc COD is 100 degrees and the arc measure of arc BSA is 60 degrees, what is the angle measure of angle CRB ? Explain how you calculated this answer.

Answers

Answer:

a) 9*π or approx 28.26

b) ∡CRB=100°

Step-by-step explanation:

As known for secants crossing each other inside the circle is coorect the following:

BR*RD=AR*RC

=> 3*RD=4*4.5

RD=6

The diameter of the circle with center P is BD=BR+RD=3+6=9

So the radius of the circle is D/2=9/2=4.5

As known the circumference of any circle can be calculated as

C=2*π*r  , where r is the circle's  radius

So C=2*4.5*π=9*π= approx   3.14*9=28.26

b) ∡CRB=∡ARD= (arcBC+arcAD),  where arcBC and arcAD smaller arcs

BD is the circle's  diameter, so arc BD=180°

So arcBC=180°-arcCOD=180°-100°=80°

Similarly arcBD=180°

arcAD=180°-arcBSA=180°-60°=120°

∡CRB= (80°+120°)/2=100°

Well to find x we need to use the commutative property which is the moving of numbers and variables to either side of the equation,

|2x - 19| = 4x + 1

-2x to both sides

|-19| = 2x + 1

Absolute value of -19 is 19

19 = 2x + 1

-1 to both sides

18 = 2x

The shape in the figure is constructed from several identical squares. If the side of each square is 1 unit, what is the area and the perimeter of the shape?

Answers

Answer:

Area = 7 square units

Perimeter = 14 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shown above consists of 7 squares, each having a side length of 1 unit.

==>Area of shape = area of 1 square × 7

Area of shape = s² × 7.

Where, s = side length = 1 unit

Area of shape = 1² × 7

= 1 × 7

Area = 7 square units

==>Perimeter of shape:

The perimeter of the shape is the sum of all the external sides of the 7 squares that form along the boundary of the shape. Check the attachment to see each side length that makes up the length of the entire boundary.

Perimeter of shape = 1 + 1 + 1 + ½ + ½ + 1 + 1 + ½ + 1½ + 1 + 4 + 1 = 14 units.
