Answer:
Option b - not significantly greater than 75%.
Step-by-step explanation:
A random sample of 100 people was taken i.e. n=100
Eighty of the people in the sample favored Candidate i.e. x=80
We have used single sample proportion test,
[tex]p=\frac{x}{n}[/tex]
[tex]p=\frac{80}{100}[/tex]
[tex]p=0.8[/tex]
Now we define hypothesis,
Null hypothesis [tex]H_0[/tex] : candidate A is significantly greater than 75%.
Alternative hypothesis [tex]H_1[/tex] : candidate A is not significantly greater than 75%.
Level of significance [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex]
Applying test statistic Z -proportion,
[tex]Z=\frac{\widehat{p}-p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}}[/tex]
Where, [tex]\widehat{p}=80\%=0.80[/tex] and [tex]p=75%=0.75[/tex]
Substitute the values,
[tex]Z=\frac{0.80-0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{100}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z=\frac{0.80-0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1875}{100}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z=\frac{0.05}{0.0433}[/tex]
[tex]Z=1.1547[/tex]
The p-value is
[tex]P(Z>1.1547)=1-P(Z<1.1547)[/tex]
[tex]P(Z>1.1547)=1-0.8789[/tex]
[tex]P(Z>1.1547)=0.1241[/tex]
Now, the p-value is greater than the 0.05.
So we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the A is not significantly greater than 75%.
Therefore, Option b is correct.
To answer if the proportion of the population in favor of Candidate A is significantly more than 75% at a .05 level of significance, we'd need to perform a statistical test. If the p-value from this test is less than .05, we can say the proportion is significantly more than 75%. However, we haven't been given a statistical result so we can't definitively select between options a. and b.
Explanation:The problem is about determining the significance of a proportion in a population. In this case, the proportion represents the people who favor Candidate A. The question is whether this proportion is significantly more than 75% at a .05 level of significance. Eighty people out of the sample of hundred favor Candidate A, which is 80% of the population sample.
The next step is to set up the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The null hypothesis claims that the proportion of people in favor of Candidate A is 75%. The alternative hypothesis states that the proportion of people in favor of Candidate A is significantly more than 75%.
Next, we test the hypothesis using statistical analysis. As we are using a .05 level of significance, if the p-value is less than .05, we reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
In this case, since our percentage in the sample (80%) is greater than the claim that we are testing against (75%), we can suggest that the proportion of the population in favor of Candidate A is significantly greater than 75% if our p-value is less than .05. However, without performing the statistical test or being given the resultant p-value we cannot choose between options a. and b.

We don't know f (x) but we do know that x = 1 is a critical number of f' (x) and we know f" (x)=12x. Use this information to decide if f(x) has a relative minimum or maximum at x=1.
Answer:
relative minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
From f^''(x) = 12x we can take the integration to find out what f'(x) is:
[tex]f'(x) = 6x^2 + C[/tex]
Furthermore, we can substitute x = 1 for f''(x) to find out whether it's positive or negative
f''(1) = 12*1 = 12 > 0
So if x=1 is a critical point of f'(x) and f''(x=1) > 0 then that point is a relative minimum point
Using the second derivative test with the given information f"(x)=12x, it's concluded that f(x) has a relative minimum at x=1, as f"(1) is positive.
Explanation:To determine if f(x) has a relative minimum or maximum at x=1, we can use the given information that f"(x)=12x and that x=1 is a critical number of f'(x). Since the second derivative, f"(x), is 12x, at x = 1, it is positive (f"(1)=12(1)=12). According to the second derivative test, a positive second derivative at a critical point indicates that the function has a relative minimum at that point. Therefore, we can conclude that f(x) has a relative minimum at x=1.

At an amusement park, guests have to take either a train or a boat 14 miles from the parking lot to the front entrance and then back when they leave the park. The train goes 10 mph faster than the boat. Abdul takes the train into the park and the boat on his way back. The boat goes an average speed of 20 mph. How long did the round trip take?
Answer:
[tex]\frac{7}{6} hours[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance for one way = 14 miles
The boat goes an average speed of 20 mph
The train goes 10 mph faster than the boat.
Speed of train = 20+10 = 30 kmph
Abdul takes the train into the park and the boat on his way back.
Time taken for going into park by train = [tex]\frac{Distance}{\text{Speed of train}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14}{30}[/tex]
Time taken for going back by boat = [tex]\frac{Distance}{\text{Speed of train}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14}{20}[/tex]
So, total time = [tex]\frac{14}{30}+\frac{14}{20}=\frac{7}{6} hours[/tex]
Hence the round trip take [tex]\frac{7}{6} hours[/tex]
The period of the round trip is mathematically given as
T=7/6hours
What is the period of the round trip?Question Parameter(s):
guests have to take either a train or a boat 14 miles

The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.91. Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 6 minutes to select a shoe purchase. Is this outcome unusual?
Answer: 0.0918, it is not unusual.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.91.
i.e. [tex]\mu=8.54[/tex] minutes and [tex]\sigma= 1.91[/tex] minutes
Let x denotes the length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase.
Formula : [tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
Then, the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 6 minutes to select a shoe purchase will be :-
[tex]\text{P-value=}P(x<6)=P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{6-8.54}{1.91})\\\\\approx P(z<1.33)=1-P(z<1.33)\ \ \ [\becaus\ P(Z<-z)=1-P(Z<z)]\\\\=1-0.9082\ \ [\text{By using z-value}]=0.0918[/tex]
Thus , the required probability = 0.0918
Since, P-value (0.0918) >0.05 , it means this outcome is not unusual.
[Note : When a outcome is unusual then the probability of its happening is less than or equal to 0.05. ]
rewrite the statement in conditional form. lines with slopes 2/3 and -3/2 are perpendicular
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. Let line x represent the original line and let line y represent the line that is perpendicular to line x
A conditional statement is an if - then statement. It is connected by a hypothesis statement and a conclusion statement. The hypothesis statement is "if the slope of line x is 2/3 and the slope of line y is -3/2 which is its negative reciprocal
The conclusion statement is " then, line x is perpendicular to line y
So the combined statement is
if the slope of line x is 2/3 and the slope of line y is -3/2 which is its negative reciprocal, then line x is perpendicular to line y
If two objects travel through space along two different curves, it's often important to know whether they will collide. (Will a missile hit its moving target? Will two aircraft collide?) The curves might intersect, but we need to know whether the objects are in the same position at the same time. Suppose the trajectories of two particles are given by the vector functions for t 0. Do the particles collide? If they collide find t. If not enter NONE.r1(t)=r2(t)=<9t-14,t^2,13t-42>t=
Answer:
The particles collide when t = 7 at the point (49, 49, 49).
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the trajectories of the two particles,
[tex]r_1(t)=\langle t^2,16t-63,t^2\rangle\\r_2(t)=\langle 9t-14,t^2,13t-42\rangle[/tex]
To find if the tow particles collide you must:
Equate the x-components for each particle and solve for t[tex]t^2=9t-14\\t^2-9t+14=0\\\left(t^2-2t\right)+\left(-7t+14\right)=0\\t\left(t-2\right)-7\left(t-2\right)=0\\\left(t-2\right)\left(t-7\right)=0[/tex]
The solutions to the quadratic equation are:
[tex]t=2,\:t=7[/tex]
Equate the y-components for each particle and solve for t[tex]16t-63=t^2\\^2-16t+63=0\\\left(t^2-7t\right)+\left(-9t+63\right)=0\\t\left(t-7\right)-9\left(t-7\right)=0\\\left(t-7\right)\left(t-9\right)=0[/tex]
The solutions to the quadratic equation are:
[tex]t=7,\:t=9[/tex]
Equate the z-components for each particle and solve for t[tex]t^2=13t-42\\t^2-13t+42=0\\\left(t^2-6t\right)+\left(-7t+42\right)=0\\t\left(t-6\right)-7\left(t-6\right)=0\\\left(t-6\right)\left(t-7\right)=0[/tex]
The solutions to the quadratic equation are:
[tex]t=6,\:t=7[/tex]
Evaluate the position vectors at the common time. The common solution is when t = 7.

Coordinate z
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{-16\pi}{(\displaystyle\frac{8\pi^3}{3}+32\pi)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W be the wire. We can consider W=(x(t),y(t),z(t)) as a path given by the parametric functions
x(t) = t
y(t) = 4 cos(t)
z(t) = 4 sin(t)
for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π
If D(x,y,z) is the density of W at a given point (x,y,z), the mass m would be the curve integral along the path W
[tex]m=\displaystyle\int_{W}D(x,y,z)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2\pi}D(x(t),y(t),z(t))||W'(t)||dt[/tex]
The density D(x,y,z) is given by
[tex]D(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2=t^2+16cos^2(t)+16sin^2(t)=t^2+16[/tex]
on the other hand
[tex]||W'(t)||=\sqrt{1^2+(-4sin(t))^2+(4cos(t))^2}=\sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17}[/tex]
and we have
[tex]m=\displaystyle\int_{W}D(x,y,z)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2\pi}D(x(t),y(t),z(t))||W'(t)||dt=\\\\\sqrt{17}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2\pi}(t^2+16)dt=\sqrt{17}(\displaystyle\frac{8\pi^3}{3}+32\pi)[/tex]
The center of mass is the point [tex](\bar x,\bar y,\bar z)[/tex]
where
[tex]\bar x=\displaystyle\frac{1}{m}\displaystyle\int_{W}xD(x,y,z)\\\\\bar y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{m}\displaystyle\int_{W}yD(x,y,z)\\\\\bar z=\displaystyle\frac{1}{m}\displaystyle\int_{W}zD(x,y,z)[/tex]
We have
[tex]\displaystyle\int_{W}xD(x,y,z)=\sqrt{17}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2\pi}t(t^2+16)dt=\\\\=\sqrt{17}(\displaystyle\frac{(2\pi)^4}{4}+32\pi)[/tex]
so
[tex]\bar x=\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt{17}(\displaystyle\frac{(2\pi)^4}{4}+32\pi)}{\sqrt{17}(\displaystyle\frac{8\pi^3}{3}+32\pi)}=\displaystyle\frac{(\displaystyle\frac{(2\pi)^4}{4}+32\pi)}{(\displaystyle\frac{8\pi^3}{3}+32\pi)}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\int_{W}yD(x,y,z)=\sqrt{17}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2\pi}4cos(t)(t^2+16)dt=\\\\=16\sqrt{17}\pi[/tex]
[tex]\bar y=\displaystyle\frac{16\sqrt{17}\pi}{\sqrt{17}(\displaystyle\frac{8\pi^3}{3}+32\pi)}=\displaystyle\frac{16\pi}{(\displaystyle\frac{8\pi^3}{3}+32\pi)}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\int_{W}zD(x,y,z)=4\sqrt{17}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2\pi}sin(t)(t^2+16)dt=\\\\=-16\sqrt{17}\pi[/tex]
[tex]\bar z=\displaystyle\frac{-16\sqrt{17}\pi}{\sqrt{17}(\displaystyle\frac{8\pi^3}{3}+32\pi)}=\displaystyle\frac{-16\pi}{(\displaystyle\frac{8\pi^3}{3}+32\pi)}[/tex]
Final answer:
To find the mass and center of mass of the wire loop in the shape of a helix, we need to integrate the density function along the length of the wire. The formula for the mass of a wire is m = ∫(ρ dl), where ρ is the density function and dl is an infinitesimally small segment of the wire. To find the center of mass, we can use the formulas Cx = (1/m) ∫(x ρ dl), Cy = (1/m) ∫(y ρ dl), and Cz = (1/m) ∫(z ρ dl), where x, y, and z are the parametric equations and ρ is the density function.
Explanation:
To find the mass and center of mass of the wire loop in the shape of a helix, we need to integrate the density function along the length of the wire. Since the density is equal to the square of the distance from the origin to the point, we can use the formula for the mass of a wire:
m = ∫(ρ dl)
Where ρ is the density function and dl is an infinitesimally small segment of the wire. In this case, we have:
ρ = r² = (x² + y² + z²)
Using the given parametric equations for x, y, and z, we can substitute them into the formula and integrate along the range of t:
m = ∫(t² + (4cos(t))² + (4sin(t))²) dt
Next, to find the center of mass, we can use the formula:
Cx = (1/m) ∫(x ρ dl)
Cy = (1/m) ∫(y ρ dl)
Cz = (1/m) ∫(z ρ dl)
We can substitute the parametric equations for x, y, and z, and the density function into these formulas and integrate along the range of t to find the center of mass.
A garden hose having an internal diameter of 0.740 in. ( 1.8796 cm ) is connected to a lawn sprinkler that consists merely of an enclosure with 36 holes, each 0.055 in. ( 0.1397 cm ) in diameter. If the water in the hose has a speed of 4.00 ft/s ( 121.920 cm/s ), at what speed does it leave the sprinkler holes?
Answer:
It will leave the sprinkler at speed of [tex]v_2=613.87m/sec[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given internal diameter of the garden hose [tex]d_1=0.740in=1.8796cm[/tex]
So radius [tex]r_1=\frac{d_1}{2}=\frac{1.8796}{2}=0.9398cm[/tex]
So area [tex]A_1=\pi r_1^2=3.14\times 0.9398^2=2.7733cm^2[/tex]
Water in the hose has a speed of 4 ft/sec
So [tex]v_1=4ft/sec=121.92cm/sec(As\ 1ft/sec\ =30.48cm/sec)[/tex]
Number of holes n = 36
Diameter of each hole [tex]d_2=0.1397cm[/tex]
So radius [tex]r_2=0.0698cm[/tex]
So area [tex]A_2=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.0698^2=0.0153cm^2[/tex]
From continuity equation
[tex]A_1v_1=nA_2v_2[/tex]
[tex]2.7733\times 121.92=36\times 0.0153\times v_2[/tex]
[tex]v_2=613.87m/sec[/tex]
$4000 is deposited in an account that pays an APR of 8.4% compounded annually. How long will it take for the balance to reach $120,000?
Answer: number of years that it will take for the balance to reach $120,000 is 42 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial amount deposited into the account is $4000. This means that the principal is $4000
P = 4000
It was compounded annually. This means that it was compounded once in a year. So
n = 1
The rate at which the principal was compounded is 8.4%. So
r = 8.4/100 = 0.084
Let the number of years that it will take for the balance to reach $120,000. It means that it was compounded for a total of t years.
Amount, A at the end of t years is $120,000
The formula for compound interest is
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
120000 = 4000(1 + 0.084/1)^1×t
120000/4000 = 1.084^t
30 = 1.084^t
t = 42 years

Answer:
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (14444.04;33657.30)
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
Data: $26,650 $6,060 $52,820 $8,490 $13,660$25,840 $49,840 $23,790 $51,480 $18,960$990 $11,450 $41,810 $21,060 $7,860
We can calculate the mean and the deviation from these data with the following formulas:
[tex]\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}[/tex]
[tex]s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\bar X=24050.67[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
s=17386.13 represent the sample standard deviation
n=15 represent the sample size
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
In order to calculate the critical value [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:
[tex]df=n-1=15-1=14[/tex]
Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,14)".And we see that [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=2.14[/tex]
Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):
[tex]24050.67-2.14\frac{17386.13}{\sqrt{15}}=14444.04[/tex]
[tex]24050.67+2.14\frac{17386.13}{\sqrt{15}}=33657.30[/tex]
So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (14444.04;33657.30)

Samples of laboratory glass are in small, light packaging or heavy, large packaging. Suppose that 2% and 1% of the sample shipped in small and large packages, respectively, break during transit. If 53% of the samples are shipped in large packages and 47% are shipped in small packages, what proportion of samples break during shipment? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).
Answer: Our required probability is 0.0153.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
probability of sample shipped in small packages P(S) = 53% = 0.53
Probability of sample shipped in large packages P(L) = 47% = 0.47
Probability of sample in small break during transit P(S|B)= 2%=0.02
Probability of sample in large break during transit P(L|B) = 1% = 0.01
so, According to bayes theorem, we get that
Proportion of samples break during shipment is given by
[tex]P(S).P(S|B)+P(L).P(L|B)\\\\=0.53\times 0.02+0.47\times 0.01\\\\=0.0153[/tex]
Hence, our required probability is 0.0153.
Final answer:
To find the proportion of samples that break during shipment, multiply the percentage of samples in each packaging type by their breakage rates and add the results. Doing so, we find that 1.47% of the samples break during shipment.
Explanation:
To calculate the proportion of samples that break during shipment, we need to use the percentages of each type of packaging and their respective breakage rates. For small packages, which account for 47% of shipments, a 2% break rate applies. For large packages that make up 53% of the shipments, we have a 1% break rate. The calculation is as follows:
Breakage from small packages = 47% of samples * 2% breakage = 0.47 * 0.02Breakage from large packages = 53% of samples * 1% breakage = 0.53 * 0.01Now we add these two probabilities together to find the total proportion of samples that break:
Total broken samples proportion = (0.47 * 0.02) + (0.53 * 0.01) = 0.0094 + 0.0053 = 0.0147
Thus, the proportion of broken samples during shipment is 0.0147, or 1.47% when rounded to four decimal places.
Some experts believe that 24% of all freshwater fish in a country have such high levels of mercury that they are dangerous to eat. Suppose a fish market has 350 fish tested, and 80 of them have dangerous levels of mercury. Test the hypothesis that this sample is not from a population with 24% dangerous fish, assuming that this is a random sample. Use a significance level of 0.05. State the null and alternative hypothesis, determine the z-test statistic, find the p-value, does the conclusion support or reject the null.
Final answer:
To assess if the sample of fish with high mercury levels supports the hypothesis of a 24% proportion in the population, we set up null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the z-test statistic, compare it to a critical value, compute the p-value, and then make a conclusion based on whether the p-value is less than the chosen significance level of 0.05.
Explanation:
To test the hypothesis about the percentage of freshwater fish with high levels of mercury, we must first establish our null hypothesis (H0) and alternative hypothesis (Ha). The null hypothesis is that the true proportion of fish with dangerous mercury levels is 24% (H0: p = 0.24), while the alternative hypothesis is that the proportion is not 24% (Ha: p ≠ 0.24).
We then calculate the z-test statistic using the sample proportion (p' = 80/350 = 0.2286) and the assumed population proportion under H0 (p = 0.24), along with the standard deviation of the sampling distribution (σp = sqrt[p(1-p)/n]). This result is compared to the critical z-score of 1.96, which corresponds to our significance level (α) of 0.05 in a two-tailed test.
The p-value is calculated to determine the probability of observing our sample statistic, or one more extreme if the null hypothesis is true. If this p-value is less than 0.05, we reject H0 and conclude that the sample provides enough evidence against the null hypothesis.
While researching lifestyle changes to improve heart health, you come across a research article reporting that the average American consumes about 2,700 calories per day (μ = 2,700).
You come across another article that refutes this, stating that a sample of Americans consumed significantly less than this mean standard on average, t(50) = 2.965, p < 0.05 (η2 = 0.15).
Assuming this test was a one-independent sample t-test, answer the following questions.
(a) Is this a significant effect? Yes, the effect is significant. No, the effect is not significant.
(b) What is the proportion of variance for this effect? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
(a) Yes effect is significant.
(b) 0.15 or 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Most conventional significance level is 0.05 and a p value less 0.05 indicated that test hypothesis is false and should be rejected. Given in statement that 'p < 0.05'Eta-squared (η^{2}) is the measure of proportion of variance which 0.18 given in the statement.The difference in calorie consumption is significantly different from the mean, as indicated by a p value less than 0.05. The proportion of variance, or the size of the effect, is 0.15 or 15%.
Explanation:For question (a), the effect is indeed significant. This is determined by the 'p' value which is less than 0.05. This shows that the difference between the sample and the mean calories consumed by the average American is statistically significant.
For question (b), the proportion of variance, denoted by η2, is used to measure the size of the effect independent of the sample size. It is the proportion of total variance in the dependent variable that is associated with the membership of different groups formed by the independent variable. η2 in this case is 0.15, which means 15% of the total variation in calorie consumption can be explained by the effect. Hence, the proportion of variance for this effect rounded to two decimal places is 0.15 or 15%.

The attached graph shows the angle values in degrees and the radius values as numbers. The points of tangency are mirror images of each other across the line y=x.
To find points with horizontal tangents for the polar curve r = cos(θ) + sin(θ), one must set the derivative with respect to θ to zero; for vertical tangents, find where the derivative is undefined. The angles found are then substituted back into the equation to determine r values, and points are listed within the specified domain of θ and r.
The question deals with finding points where the tangent lines to the polar curve r = cos(θ) + sin(θ) are horizontal or vertical. To find where the tangent lines are horizontal, we need to look for points where the derivative of the function with respect to θ is zero, since a horizontal tangent line would have a slope of zero. Conversely, for vertical tangent lines, we want to find where the derivative is undefined or infinite.
A general method for finding this for a polar curve involves taking the derivative of r with respect to θ and setting it equal to zero for horizontal tangents, and finding where it is undefined for vertical tangents:
Horizontal tangent: [tex]\frac{dr}{dθ}[/tex]= 0
Vertical tangent: [tex]\frac{dr}{dθ}[/tex] is undefined
Once the relevant angles are determined, we substitute them back into the original equation to find the corresponding r value, ensuring that we only consider points within the given domain of θ from 0 to 2π and r ≥ 0.
For the given polar curve r = cos(θ) + sin(θ), we take the derivative of r with respect to θ, which gives us -sin(θ) + cos(θ). Setting this equal to zero yields angles where horizontal tangents occur. Points where this derivative is undefined will give us the angles for vertical tangents. The corresponding points (r, θ) are then listed according to the instructions.

4. A process has been developed that can transform ordinary iron into a kind of super iron called metallic glass. Metallic glass is three to four times stronger than the toughest steel alloys. To estimate the mean temperature, u, at which a particular type of metallic glass becomes brittle, 25 pieces of this metallic glass were randomly sampled from a recent production run. Each piece was subjected to higher and higher temperatures until it became brittle. The temperature at which brittleness first appeared was recorded for each piece in the sample. The following results were obtained: X 480°F and s 11°F Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate . (20 points)
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval to estimate is 475.4592 to 484.5408
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
25 pieces of this metallic glass were randomly sampled from a recent production run.
That means the value of n is 25.
The degree of freedom is:
df = n-1
df = 25-1 = 24
X = 480°F and s = 11°F
We need to Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate.
1-α=0.95
α=0.05
It is a two tail test with small sample size.
Determine the value of t by using Degrees of freedom and Significance level:
The required t value is 2.064
[tex]95\% CI=\bar x\pm t_c\times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
Substitute the respective values as shown:
[tex]95\% CI=480\pm 2.064\times \frac{11}{\sqrt{25}}[/tex]
[tex]95\% CI=480\pm 4.5408[/tex]
[tex]95\% CI=475.4592\ to\ 484.5408[/tex]
Hence, the 95% confidence interval to estimate is 475.4592 to 484.5408
Using the t-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the sample, it is found that the 95% confidence interval to estimate the temperature at which brittleness first appeared is given by (475.46 ºF, 484.54 ºF).
What is a t-distribution confidence interval?The confidence interval is:
[tex]\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which:
[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.t is the critical value.n is the sample size.s is the standard deviation for the sample.The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed 95% confidence interval, with 25 - 1 = 24 df, is t = 2.0639.
The other parameters are as follows:
[tex]n = 25, \overline{x} = 480, s = 11[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 480 - 2.0639\frac{11}{\sqrt{25}} = 475.46[/tex]
[tex]\overline{x} + t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 480 + 2.0639\frac{11}{\sqrt{25}} = 484.54[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval is (475.46 ºF, 484.54 ºF).

Consider Rosenbrock’s Function f(x, y) = (1 − x) 2 + 100(y − x 2 ) 2 .
a) Using ad-hoc/elementary reasoning, identify a global min and argue that this min is unique.
b) Confirm that this function is not convex using a characterization of convexity (as opposed to the definition of convexity). Hint: Consider the point x y = −.1 .3 .
Answer:
See steps below
Step-by-step explanation:
The function
[tex]\large f(x,y)=(1-x)^2+100(y-x^2)^2[/tex]
is a particular case of the general Rosenbrock’s Function.
a)
Since
[tex]\large ((1-x)^2\geq 0[/tex] for all the values of x and equals 0 when x=1 and
[tex]\large (y-x^2)^2=(y-1)^2\geq 0[/tex] for all the values of y and equals 0 only when y=1, we conclude that (1,1) is a minimum.
On the other hand,
f(x,y)>0 for (x,y) ≠ (1,1) so (1,1) is a global minimum.
b)
To confirm that this function is not convex, we will be using the following characterization of convexity
“f is convex if, and only if, the Laplace operator of f [tex]\large \nabla^2f \geq 0[/tex] for every (x,y) in the domain of f”
Given that the domain of f is the whole plane XY, in order to prove that f is not convex, we must find a point (x,y) at where the Laplace operator is < 0.
The Laplace operator is given by
[tex]\large \nabla^2f=\displaystyle\frac{\partial ^2f}{\partial x^2}+\displaystyle\frac{\partial ^2f}{\partial y^2}[/tex]
Let us compute the partial derivatives
[tex]\large \displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=-2(1-x)+200(y-x^2)(-2x)=-2+2x-400xy+400x^3\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}=2-400y+1200x^2[/tex]
and
[tex]\large \displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}=200(y-x^2)=200y-200x^2\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}=200[/tex]
we have then
[tex]\large \nabla^2 f=2-400y+1200x^2+200[/tex]
if we take (x,y) = (0,1)
[tex]\large \nabla^2 f(0,1)=2-400+200=202-400=-198<0[/tex]
hence f is not convex.

Let:
The width of the cardboard be x.

[tex]\mathbf{W = x - 6}[/tex] ---- width
[tex]\mathbf{H = 3}[/tex] --- height
(b) The restriction on x
When 3 inches is removed, it means that a total of 6 inches will be removed from either sides.
Hence, the value of x must be greater than 6.
So, the restriction on x is:
[tex]\mathbf{x > 6}[/tex]
(c) Function that represents volume.
The volume (V) of a box is:

Finding the area under the standard normal curve to the left of specific Z-scores involves looking up these Z-values in a Z-table or inputting them into an appropriate calculator. The Z-scores in question range from -1.45 to 1.48 and the related cumulative probabilities represent the area under the curve.
Explanation:The question relates to finding the area under the standard normal curve, commonly referred to in statistics as Z-scores. These standardized scores indicate how many standard deviations away from the mean a particular point or score is located.
(a) Z equals negative 1.45, meaning it lies 1.45 standard deviations below the mean. When looking up this value in a standard Z-table (or using a calculator), you will find the associated cumulative probability (the area to the left under the curve).
The same process applies to (b) Z equals 0.63 (lies 0.63 standard deviations above the mean), (c) Z equals 1.48 (1.48 standard deviations above the mean) and (d) Z equals negative 1.37 (1.37 standard deviations below the mean). The exact cumulative probabilities vary with each Z-score and these represent the area under the curve to the left of each point.

A buoy floating in the sea is bobbing in simple harmonic motion with period 2 seconds and amplitude 8 in. Its displacement d from sea level at time t=0 seconds is 0 in, and initially it moves downward. (Note that downward is the negative direction.) Give the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t. d= ク
Answer:
The equation of the displacement [tex]d[/tex] as a function of time [tex]t[/tex] is :
[tex]d(t)=8sin(\pi t+\pi )[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally , A simple harmonic wave is a sinusoidal function that is it can be expressed in simple [tex]sin[/tex] or [tex]cos[/tex] terms.
Thus,
[tex]d(t) = Asin(wt+c)[/tex]
is the general form of displacement of a SHM.
where,
[tex]d(t)[/tex] is the displacement with respect to the mean position at any time [tex]t[/tex][tex]A[/tex] is amplitude [tex]w[/tex] is the natural frequency of oscillation ([tex]rads^{-1}[/tex])[tex]c[/tex] is the phase angle which indicates the initial position of the object in SHM ([tex]rad[/tex])given,
Time period ([tex]T[/tex]) = [tex]2s[/tex][tex]A=8[/tex]The natural frequency ([tex]w[/tex]) and time period ([tex]T[/tex]) is :[tex]w=\frac{2\pi} {T}[/tex]
∴
[tex]w[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2\pi }{2} = \pi[/tex] [tex]rads^{-1}[/tex]
∴
the equation :
⇒[tex]d(t)=8sin(\pi t+c)[/tex] ------1
since [tex]d=0[/tex] when [tex]t=o[/tex] ,
⇒[tex]0=8sinc\\c=n\pi[/tex] ------2
where n is an integer ;
⇒since the bouy immediately moves in the negative direction , [tex]x[/tex] must be negative or c must be an odd multiple of [tex]\pi[/tex].
⇒ [tex]d(t) = 8sin(\pi t+(2k+1)\pi )[/tex] ------3
where k is also an integer ;
the least value of [tex]k=0[/tex];
thus ,
the equation is :
[tex]d(t)=8sin(\pi t+\pi )[/tex]
The equation for the displacement d as a function of time t for the buoy is d=-8 cos(πt), as this corresponds to the simple harmonic motion of a system starting at equilibrium and moving downwards.
Explanation:The motion described by the buoy is that of a simple harmonic oscillator. The displacement (d) at any given time (t), especially for a system initiating motion from the equilibrium and moving downwards, can be given by the equation of a cosine function. Therefore, the equation would be d= - A cos(2πt/T), where A is the amplitude and T is the period. Given the amplitude (A) of 8 in and the period (T) of 2 sec, the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t for this buoy can be given by: d = -8 cos(πt).

Based on information from a large insurance company, 68% of all damage liability claims are made by single people under the age of 25. A random sample of 53 claims showed that 41 were made by single people under the age of 25. Does this indicate that the insurance claims of single people under the age of 25 is higher than the national percent reported by the large insurance company? State the null and alternate hypothesis then give the test statistic and your conclusion.
a)z = 2.326; reject Hoat the 5% significance level
b)z = 1.826; reject Hoat the 5% significance level
c)z = -2.326; reject Hoat the 5% significance level
d)z = 2.326; fail to reject Hoat the 5% significance level
e)z = -1.826; fail to reject Hoat the 5% significance level
Answer:
z=1.461, fail to reject the null hypothesis since [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] at 5% of singificance.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Data given and notation
n=53 represent the random sample taken
X=41 represent the adults with damage liability claims by single people under the age of 25.
[tex]\hat p=\frac{41}{53}=0.774[/tex] estimated proportion of adults with damage liability claims by single people under the age of 25.
[tex]p_o=0.68[/tex] is the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level
Confidence=95% or 0.95
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value (variable of interest)
2) Concepts and formulas to use
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test that the insurance claims of single people under the age of 25 is higher than the national percent reported by the large insurance company (68%).:
Null hypothesis:[tex]p\leq 0.68[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p > 0.68[/tex]
When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)
The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is significantly different from a hypothesized value [tex]p_o[/tex].
3) Calculate the statistic
Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:
[tex]z=\frac{0.774 -0.68}{\sqrt{\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{53}}}=1.461[/tex]
4) Statistical decision
It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.
The significance level provided [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex]. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.
Since is a unilateral right tailed test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(z>1.461)=0.072[/tex]
So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we have [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults with damage liability claims by single people under the age of 25 is not significantly higher from 0.68 or 68% .
sample of 60 account balances of a credit company showed an average balance of $1,165 and a standard deviation of $125. You want to determine if the mean of all account balances is significantly greater than $1,150. Assume the population of account balances is normally distributed. Compute the p-value for this test.
Answer:
z=0.930
[tex]p_v =P(z>0.930)=1-P(z<0.930)=1-0.824=0.176[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Data given and notation
[tex]\bar X=1165[/tex] represent the mean for the account balances of a credit company
[tex]s=125[/tex] represent the population standard deviation for the sample
[tex]n=60[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =1150[/tex] represent the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean for account balances of a credit company is greater than 1150, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 1150[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 1150[/tex]
We don't know the population deviation, but the problem says the the distribution for the random variable is normal, so for this case we can use the z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".
3) Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
[tex]z=\frac{1165-1150}{\frac{125}{\sqrt{60}}}=0.930[/tex]
4) Calculate the P-value
Since is a one-side upper test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(z>0.930)=1-P(z<0.930)=1-0.824=0.176[/tex]
In Excel we can use the following formula to find the p value "=1-NORM.DIST(0.93,0,1,TRUE)"
5) Conclusion
If we compare the p value with a significance level for example [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so there is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean for the balances of a credit company are significantly higher than $1150 at 0.05 of signficance.
f(x)=[tex](x+1-|x-1|)/2[/tex] and g(x)=|x|

[tex]f(g(x))=\dfrac{|x|+1-||x|-1|}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The most straightforward way is direct substitution of g(x) for x in f(x):
[tex]f(g(x))=\dfrac{|x|+1-||x|-1|}{2}[/tex]
The weight (in pounds) for a population of school-aged children is normally distributed with a mean equal to 133 ± 25 pounds (μ ± σ). Suppose we select a sample of 100 children (n = 100) to test whether children in this population are gaining weight at a 0.05 level of significance. Part (a) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? H0: μ ≤ 133 H1: μ > 133 H0: μ = 133 H1: μ < 133 H0: μ = 133 H1: μ ≠ 133 H0: μ ≤ 133 H1: μ = 133
Answer:
Null hypothesis: [tex]\mu \leq 133[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis :[tex]\mu>133[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".
The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".
The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".
Data given and notation
[tex]\bar X[/tex] represent the mean breaking strength value for the sample
[tex]\sigma=25[/tex] represent the population standard deviation
[tex]n=100[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =133[/tex] represent the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Is a one right tailed test.
What are H0 and Ha for this study?
We want to test if the children in this population are gaining weight, so we want to test if the mean increase from the reference value or no.
Null hypothesis: [tex]\mu \leq 133[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis :[tex]\mu>133[/tex]
Final answer:
The correct null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether children are gaining weight compared to a known mean would be H0: μ = 133 and H1: μ > 133, respectively, representing a one-tailed test.
Explanation:
When a student is asking about the null and alternative hypotheses for a population's weight distribution, they are referring to the initial assumptions and contrasting propositions made in a statistical test.
Part (a) of the question suggests that we are trying to test if children in this population are gaining weight. Therefore, the correct set of hypotheses to test this claim would be:
H0: μ = 133 (the null hypothesis, stating that the mean weight is equal to 133 pounds)
H1: μ > 133 (the alternative hypothesis, stating that the mean weight is greater than 133 pounds).
This setup represents a one-tailed test because we are only interested in whether the weight has increased, not if it has changed in any direction.
A survey of 300 randomly selected high school students determined that 236 play organized sports.
(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected high school student plays organized sports?
(b) Interpret this probability.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The probability that randomly selected high school student plays organized sport is 236/300 = 59/75 = 0.787 = 78.7%.
(b) The probability means that for every 75 random students selected, 59 of them plays organized sport.
A random variable x has a Normal distribution with an unknown mean and a standard deviation of 12. Suppose that we take a random sample of size n = 36 n=36 and find a sample mean of ¯ x = 98 x¯=98 . What is a 95% confidence interval for the mean of x ?
Answer: (94.08, 101.92)
Step-by-step explanation:
The confidence interval for unknown population mean[tex](\mu)[/tex] is given by :-
[tex]\overline{x}\pm z^*\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
, where [tex]\overline{x}[/tex] = Sample mean
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = Population standard deviation
z* = Critical z-value.
Given : A random variable x has a Normal distribution with an unknown mean and a standard deviation of 12.
[tex]\sigma= 12[/tex]
[tex]\overline{x}=98[/tex]
n= 36
Confidence interval = 95%
We know that the critical value for 95% Confidence interval : z*=1.96
Then, the 95% confidence interval for the mean of x will be :-
[tex]98\pm (1.96)\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{36}}[/tex]
[tex]=98\pm (1.96)\dfrac{12}{6}[/tex]
[tex]=98\pm (1.96)(2)[/tex]
[tex]=98\pm 3.92=(98-3.92,\ 98+3.92)\\\\=( 94.08,\ 101.92)[/tex]
Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the mean of x is (94.08, 101.92) .
Answer: 95% confidence interval would be (94.08,101.92).
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
n = 36
standard deviation = 12
sample mean = 98
At 95% confidence, z = 1.96
So, interval would be
[tex]\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=98\pm 1.96\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{36}}\\\\=98\pm 3.92\\\\=(98-3.92,98+3.92)\\\\=(94.08,101.92)[/tex]
Hence, 95% confidence interval would be (94.08,101.92).
