B. How large a sample size would be required to ensure thatthe first probability in part (a) is at least .99 ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample size must be 45 large enough that would ensure that the first probability in part (a) is at least 0.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the sediment density (g/cm) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is normally distributed with mean 2.68 and standard deviation 0.92.

Let [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample  average sediment density

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

                             Z  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 2.68

           [tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation = 0.92

           n = sample of specimens = 25

(a) The probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00 is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 3.00)

   

   P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 3.00) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{3.00-2.68}{\frac{0.92}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.74) = 0.9591

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.74 in the z table which has an area of 0.9591.

Also, the probability that the sample average sediment density is between 2.68 and 3.00 is given by = P(2.68 < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 3.00)

P(2.68 < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 3.00) = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 3.00) - P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 2.68)

 

   P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 3.00) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\frac{3.00-2.68}{\frac{0.92}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z < 1.74) = 0.9591

   P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 2.68) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{2.68-2.68}{\frac{0.92}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0) = 0.50

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.74 and x = 0 in the z table which has an area of 0.9591 and 0.50.

Therefore, P(2.68 < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 3.00) = 0.9591 - 0.50 = 0.4591.

(b) Now, we have to find a sample size that would ensure that the first probability in part (a) is at least 0.99, that is;

      P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 3.00) [tex]\geq[/tex] 0.99

      P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{3.00-2.68}{\frac{0.92}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) [tex]\geq[/tex] 0.99

      P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{3.00-2.68}{\frac{0.92}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) [tex]\geq[/tex] 0.99

Now, in the z table; the critical value of x which has an area of at least 0.99 is given by 2.3263, that is;

                 [tex]\frac{3.00-2.68}{\frac{0.92}{\sqrt{n} } }=2.3263[/tex]

                 [tex]\sqrt{n} } }=\frac{ 2.3263\times 0.92}{0.32}[/tex]

                  [tex]\sqrt{n} } }=6.69[/tex]

                    n = 44.76 ≈ 45          {By squaring both sides}

Hence, the sample size must be 45 large enough that would ensure that the first probability in part (a) is at least 0.99.

Plz help answer a - d 1. Miguel is playing a game in which a box contains four chips with numbers written on them two of the chips have the number one one chip has the number three and the other chip has the number 5 Miguel must choose to chips if both chips have the same number he wants to dollars if the two chipsy chooses have different numbers he loses $1 (-$1) Look at pictures for the questions

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Miguel has four chips, two have the number "1", one has the number "3" and the other has the number "5"

If the experiment is "choosing two chips and looking at their numbers" there are the following possible outcomes:

S= {(1,1)(1,3)(1,5)(3,1)(5,1)(3,5)(5,3)}

The sample space for the experiment has 7 possible combinations.

a)

Be X: the amount of money Miguel will receive or owe.

If two chips with the same number are chosen he will receive $2

If the chips have different number he will owe $1

Looking at the possible outcomes listed above, out of the 7, in only one he will select the same number (1,1)

So the probability of him receiving $2 will be 1/7

Now out of the 7 possible outcomes, 6 will make Miguel owe $1, so you can calculate its probability as: 6/7

  xi  | $2 | -$1

P(xi) | 1/7 | 6/7

b)

To calculate the expected value or mean you have to use the following formula:

[tex]\frac{}{X}[/tex]= ∑[xi*P(xi)]= (2*1/7)(-1*6/7)= -4/7= $-0.57

c)

The expected value is $-0.57, meaning that Miguel can expect to owe $0.57 at the end of the game.

d)

To make the game fair you have to increase the probability of obtaining two chips with the same number. Any probability close to 50% will make the game easier. For example if you change the experiment so that for earning $2 the probability is 4/7 and for owing $1 the probability is 3/7, the expected earnings will be:

(2*4/7)+(-1*3/7)= $0.71

I hope this helps!

Answers

This question is incomplete

Complete Question

A normal population has a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 13. You select a random sample of 16. Compute the probability that the sample mean is: (Round z values to 2 decimal places and final answers to 4 decimal places.)

(a) Greater than 64

(b) Less than 57

Answer:

(a) Greater than 64 = 0.1788

(b) Less than 57 = 0.1094

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the above questions we would be using the z score formula

The formula for calculating a z-score :

z = (x - μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean = 61

σ is the population standard deviation = 13

(a) Greater than 64

z = (x - μ)/σ,

where x is 64

μ is the 61

σ is the 13

In the above question, we are given the number of samples = 16

Sample standard deviation = popular standard deviation/ √16

= 13/√16

z = 64 - 61 ÷ 13/√16

z = 3/3.25

z = 0.92308

Approximately, z values to 2 decimal places ≈ 0.92

Using the z score table of normal distribution to find the Probability (P) value of z score of 0.92

P(z = 0.92) = 0.82121

P(x>64) = 1 - P(z = 0.92)

= 1 - 0.82121

= 0.17879

Approximately , Probability value to 4 decimal places = 0.1788

(b) Less than 57

z = (x - μ)/σ,

where x is 57

μ is the 61

σ is the 13

In the above question, we are given the number of samples = 16

Sample standard deviation = popular standard deviation/ √16

= 13/√16

z = 57 - 61 ÷ 13/√16

z = -4/3.25

z = -1.23077

Approximately, z values to 2 decimal places ≈ -1.23

Using the z score table of normal distribution to find the Probability (P) value of z score of -1.23

P(z = -1.23) = P(x<Z) = 0.10935

Approximately , Probability value to 4 decimal places = 0.1094

A party rental company has chairs and tables for rent. The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 3 tables is$31 . The total cost to rent 6 chairs and 5 tables is $59 . What is the cost to rent each chair and each table?

Answers

Answer:

The cost to rent each chair is $2.75 and the cost to rent each table is $8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the:

Cost to rent a chair = x

Cost to rent a table = y

We would form an algebraic equation.

The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 3 tables is $31

2x + 3y = 31 ...... Equation 1

The total cost to rent 6 chairs and 5 tables is $59

6x + 5y = 59 ......... Equation 2

We solve the above equation above using elimination method

Multiply Equation 1 all through by the coefficient of x = 6 in Equation 2

Multiply Equation 2 all through by the coefficient of x = 2 in Equation 1

Hence, we have:

2x + 3y = 31 ...... Equation 1 × 6

6x + 5y = 59 ......... Equation 2 × 2

12x + 18y = 186........ Equation 3

12x + 10y = 118 .…...... Equation 4

Subtracting Equation 4 from Equation 3

= 8y = 68

y = 68/8

y = 8.5

Therefore, the cost to rent a table = $8.50

Substituting 8.5 for y in Equation 1 to get the value of x

2x + 3y = 31 ...... Equation 1

2x + 3(8.5) = 31

2x = 31 - 3(8.5)

2x = 31 - 25.5

2x = 5.5

x = 5.5/2

x = 2.75

The cost to rent a chair = $2.75

Therefore, the cost to rent each chair is $2.75 and the cost to rent each table is $8.50

A cash register has $10 and $50 dollars bills with total of $1080.there are 28 bills in total how many of each bills.

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's set this up as a system of equations, where x is equal to the number of 10 dollar bills and y is equal to the number of 50 dollar bills.

10x+50y=1080

x+y=28

We want to solve for x or y. We can rearrange the second equation to find the value of one of the variables.

x+y=28

Subtract x from both sides.

y=28-x

Now, we have a value for y. So, we could replace the y in the first equation with 28-x and the solve for x.

10x+50(28-x)=1080

We use distributive property to undo the parentheses.

10x+1400-50x=1080

We combine like terms.

-40x+1400=1080

We subtract 1400 from both sides.

-40x=-320

We divide both sides by -40.

x=8

Since there are 28 total bills, this means that there must be 20 50 dollar ones because there are 8 10 dollar bills.

An obtuse angle triangle ABC has been given.

By applying Sine rule in the triangle,

[tex]\frac{\text{SinB}}{b}=\frac{\text{SinA}}{a}=\frac{\text{SinC}}{c}[/tex]

Since, m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

45° + 110° + m∠C = 180°

m∠C = 180°- 155° = 25°

[tex]\frac{\text{Sin110}}{b}=\frac{\text{Sin45}}{a}=\frac{\text{Sin25}}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\text{Sin110}}{b}=\frac{\text{Sin45}}{a}=0.060374[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\text{Sin110}}{b}=0.060374[/tex]

b = [tex]\frac{\text{Sin110}}{0.060374}[/tex]

b = 15.56

b ≈ 15.56

[tex]\frac{\text{Sin45}}{a}=0.060374[/tex]

a = [tex]\frac{\text{Sin45}}{0.060374}[/tex]

a = 11.712

a = 11.71

Therefore, Option (D) will be the answer.

Resolviendo para x, tenemos:

[tex]x=\frac{54*60}{360}=9[/tex]

Entonces si las manecillas están a 9 minutos de diferencia, el ángulo será 54°. Si la hora es después de las 3, significa que la manecilla de la hora estará en el minuto 15 y la otra debe estar 9 minutos antes, es decir en el minuto 6.

Por lo tanto, la hora después de las 3 en la cual se forma un ángulo de 54° por primera vez es a las 3:06

If you sleep an average of 7.5 hours each night, how many hours do you sleep in a year?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf 2737.5 \ hours}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The average is 7.5 hours of sleep each night.

There are 365 nights in 1 year.

[tex]\sf Multiply \ the \ value \ by \ 365.[/tex]

[tex]7.5 \times 365[/tex]

[tex]2737.5[/tex]

Answer:

2,737 hours for a normal year, 2,745 if it is a leap year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there 365 days in a year, you should multiply the amount you sleep every day (7.5) by the number of days in a year (365)

[tex]7.5*365[/tex]

Multiply 7.5 by 365 to get

[tex]2,737.5[/tex]

Every year you will sleep 2,737 hours if you sleep 7.5 hours each day.

(If it is a leap year, just change 365 to 366 which will give you 2,745 hours)

I hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, feel free to ask.

Have a great day! :)

2) A basketball player scores 70% of his shots on average. What is the probability that he scores at least 18 successful shots tonight if he gets 20 shots?

Answers

Answer:

3.54%

Step-by-step explanation:

This question represents a binomial distribution. A binomial distribution is given by:

[tex]P(x)=\frac{n!}{(n-x)!x!} p^xq^{n-x}[/tex]

Where n is the total number of trials, p is the probability of success, q is the probability of failure and x is the number of success.

Given that:

A basketball player scores 70% of his shots on average, therefore p = 70% = 0.7. Also q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3.

The total number of trials (n) = 20 shots

The probability that he scores at least 18 successful shots tonight if he gets 20 shots = P(x = 18) + P(x = 19) + P(x = 20)

P(x = 18) = [tex]\frac{20!}{(20-18)!18!}*0.7^{18}*0.3^{20-18}=0.0278[/tex]

P(x = 19) = [tex]\frac{20!}{(20-19)!19!}*0.7^{19}*0.3^{20-19}=0.0068[/tex]

P(x = 20) = [tex]\frac{20!}{(20-20)!20!}*0.7^{20}*0.3^{20-20}=0.0008[/tex]

The probability that he scores at least 18 successful shots tonight if he gets 20 shots = P(x = 18) + P(x = 19) + P(x = 20) = 0.0278 + 0.0068 + 0.0008 = 0.0354 = 3.54%

m−4+m−5 how do I solve this ?

Answers

Answer:

2m - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this, we need to combine like terms. m + m = 2m and -4 - 5 = -9 so the simplified version would be 2m - 9.

Edge 2020

A police office claims that the proportion of people wearing seat belts is less than 65%. To test this claim, a random sample of 200 drivers is taken and its determined that 126 people are wearing seat belts. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test:
H0:p=0.65
Ha:p<0.65
In this example, the p-value was determined to be 0.277. Come to a conclusion and interpret the results for this hypothesis test for a proportion (use a significance level of 5%)
Select the correct answer below:
A. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of people wearing seat belts is less than 65%.
B. There is NOT sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of people wearing seat belts is less than 65%.
C. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of people wearing seat belts is less than 35%.
D. There is NOT sufficient evidence to conclude that the pronortion of people wearing seat belts is less than 35%

Answers

Answer:

Option A - There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of people wearing seat belts is less than 65%

Step-by-step explanation:

The police officers claim is that the proportion of people wearing seat belts is less than 65%.

Now, we are told that the p - value is 0.277.

In hypothesis, for a significance value of 0.05, if the P value is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and if P value is greater than or equal to 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Now, since the significance level is 5% = 0.05,we can see that the P-value is greater than the significance value of 0.05. Thus, we fail to reject the police claim that the proportion of people wearing seat belts is less than 65%.

So the correct option is A.

Find: ∠x ∠a ∠b Please help

Answers

Answer:

a=90 degrees

b=90 degrees

x=22 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+22+(5x-18)=180

8x=176

x=22

Answer:

x = 22°, ∠a = 88°, ∠b = 92°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle b has the same measurement as the angle of 5x - 18, since the two angles are corresponding angles.

Angle a has the same measurement as the angle of 3x + 22, since the two angles are alternate interior angles.

Since angle a and the angle of 5x - 18 form a straight line, the two angles add up to be 180 degrees. Since angle a is the same as the angle of 3x + 22, we can substitute the angle for angle a.

(5x - 18) + (3x + 22) = 180

5x + 3x - 18 + 22 = 180

8x + 4 = 180

8x = 176

x = 22°.

3(22) + 22 = 66 + 22 = 88 degrees.

That means that ∠a = 88°.

5(22) - 18 = 110 - 18 = 92 degrees.

That means that ∠b = 92°.

Hope this helps!
