Final answer:

Calculating the probability of different card events when dealt a hand of three cards involves understanding basic principles of probability and operating with fractions. Each event requires calculating the probability of successive draws, considering that cards are dealt without replacement, impacting the probability of each subsequent draw.

Explanation:

Let's address each part of the question dealing with probabilities when being dealt a hand of three cards from a standard 52-card deck:

Melanie, as a researcher, needs to sample at least 139 full-term newborn babies at her hospital to be 95% confident that the mean birthweight of the sample is within 100 grams of the mean of all babies.

To estimate the mean birthweight of full-term babies in her hospital with an error of at most 100 grams and a 95% confidence level, Melanie can use the formula for sample size in a normal population: n = (Z^2 * σ^2) / E^2 where Z is the Z-value from the Z-table for the desired level of confidence (for 95%, Z = 1.96), σ is the standard deviation of the population (600 grams), and E is the maximum allowable error (100 grams).

Plugging in these values, we get n = (1.96^2 * 600^2) / 100^2 = 138.2976, which we round up to 139 since we can't have a fractional number of babies.

So, Melanie should sample at least 139 babies to be at least 95% confident that the mean birthweight of the sample is within 100 grams of the mean birthweight of all babies.

Answer:  [tex]1.0848<\mu<1.3152[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

[tex]\overline{x}-z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}< mu< \overline{x}+ z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

, where [tex]z_{\alpha/2}[/tex] = two -tailed z-value for [tex]{\alpha[/tex] (significance level)

n= sample size .

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = Population standard deviation.

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] = Sample mean

By considering the given information , we have

[tex]\sigma=0.2\text{ mg}[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x}=1.2\text{ mg}[/tex]

n= 20

[tex]\alpha=1-0.99=0.01[/tex]

Using z-value table ,

Two-tailed Critical z-value : [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=2.576[/tex]

The 99 percent two-sided confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of a cigarette will be :-

Answer:  The required position function is [tex]s(t)=t^3+t^2-5t+7.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a particle moves in a straight line and has acceleration given by

[tex]a(t)=6t+2.[/tex]

The initial velocity of the particle is v(0) = −5 cm/s and its initial displacement is s(0) = 7 cm.

We are to find the position function s(t).

We know that the acceleration function a(t) is the derivative of the velocity function v(t). So,

[tex]v^\prime(t)=a(t)\\\\\Rightarrow v^\prime(t)=6t+2\\\\\Rightarrow v(t)=\int (6t+2) dt\\\\ \Rightarrow v(t)=3t^2+2t+A~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]

Also, the velocity function v(t) is the derivative of the position function s(t). So,

[tex]s^\prime(t)=v(t)\\\\\Rightarrow s^\prime(t)=3t^2+2t+A\\\\\Rightarrow s(t)=\int(3t^2+2t+A) dt \\\\\Rightarrow s(t)=t^3+t^2+At+B~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)[/tex]

From equation (i), we get

[tex]v(0)=0+0+A\\\\\Rightarrow A=-5,~\textup{where A is a constant}[/tex]

and from equation (ii), we get

[tex]s(0)=0+0+0+B\\\\\Rightarrow B=7,~\textup{where B is a constant}.[/tex]

Substituting the values of A and B in equation (ii), we get

[tex]s(t)=t^3+t^2-5t+7.[/tex]

Thus, the required position function is [tex]s(t)=t^3+t^2-5t+7.[/tex]

Velocity: [tex]\( v(t) = 3t^2 + 2t - 5 \)[/tex] cm/s. Position: [tex]\( s(t) = t^3 + t^2 - 5t + 7 \)[/tex] cm, starting at 7 cm with initial velocity of -5 cm/s.

let's solve this step by step.

Given that ( a(t) = 6t + 2 ), we need to find the velocity function ( v(t) ) by integrating the acceleration function with respect to time.

1. **Find velocity function ( v(t) )**:

[tex]\[ a(t) = \frac{dv}{dt} \][/tex]

  So, integrating ( a(t) ) with respect to ( t ) will give us ( v(t) ):

[tex]\[ \int a(t) \, dt = \int (6t + 2) \, dt \][/tex]

[tex]\[ v(t) = \int (6t + 2) \, dt = 3t^2 + 2t + C_1 \][/tex]

  Here, ( C_1 ) is the constant of integration.

  Given that ( v(0) = -5 ) cm/s, we can find the value of ( C_1 ):

[tex]\[ v(0) = 3(0)^2 + 2(0) + C_1 = C_1 = -5 \][/tex]

  So, [tex]\( v(t) = 3t^2 + 2t - 5 \).[/tex]

2. **Find position function ( s(t) )**:

  We know that velocity is the rate of change of displacement. So, we need to integrate the velocity function with respect to time to find the position function.

[tex]\[ v(t) = \frac{ds}{dt} \][/tex]

  Integrating ( v(t) ) with respect to ( t ) will give us ( s(t) ):

[tex]\[ \int v(t) \, dt = \int (3t^2 + 2t - 5) \, dt \][/tex]

[tex]\[ s(t) = \int (3t^2 + 2t - 5) \, dt = t^3 + t^2 - 5t + C_2 \][/tex]

  Here, [tex]\( C_2 \)[/tex] is the constant of integration.

  Given that [tex]\( s(0) = 7 \)[/tex] cm, we can find the value of [tex]\( C_2 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ s(0) = (0)^3 + (0)^2 - 5(0) + C_2 = C_2 = 7 \][/tex]

  So, [tex]\( s(t) = t^3 + t^2 - 5t + 7 \).[/tex]

Therefore, the position function of the particle is [tex]\( s(t) = t^3 + t^2 - 5t + 7 \)[/tex]cm.

Answer: The open interval would be (31.4,42.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

mean = 36.9

Standard deviation = 16.5

n = 48

At 98% confidence interval, z = 2.33

So, Interval would be

[tex]\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=36.9\pm 2.33\dfrac{16.5}{\sqrt{48}}\\\\=36.9\pm 5.549\\\\=(36.9-5.5,36.9+5.6\\\\=(31.4,42.5)[/tex]

Hence, the open interval would be (31.4,42.5).

To find the 98% confidence interval for the number of seeds, use the formula for confidence intervals and the values given. The 98% confidence interval for the number of seeds is (31.1, 42.7).

To find the 98% confidence interval for the number of seeds, we can use the formula:

Confidence Interval = mean ± (critical value) * (standard deviation / sqrt(sample size))

Since we want a 98% confidence interval, the critical value is found using the z-table. It is approximately 2.33.

Plugging in the values:

Confidence Interval = 36.9 ± (2.33) * (16.5 / sqrt(48))

Simplifying the expression gives us the 98% confidence interval for the number of seeds as (31.1, 42.7).

[tex]\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{R}(\mathrm{t})=190 \mathrm{e}^{0.03 \mathrm{t}} \text { subscribers/month }} \\\\ {\mathrm{S}(\mathrm{t})=\mathrm{e}^{-0.06 \mathrm{t}}}\end{array}[/tex]

After 3 years, time(t) = 36 month

Total number of subscribers after 3 years from now :

Substitute "t" = 36

[tex]\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{R}(36)=190 \mathrm{e}^{0.03 \times(36)}=190 \times(2.944)} \\\\ {\mathrm{R}(36) \approx 560} \\\\ {\mathrm{S}(36)=\mathrm{e}^{-0.06 \times(36)}=0.12}\end{array}[/tex]

Subscribers remaining = 0.12 x 560 = 67.2

The magazine currently has 8700 subscribers

Added Subscriber = 8700 + 560 = 9260

Remaining Subscriber = 8700 + 67.2 = 8767.2

Therefore number of subscriber the magazine will have after 3 years from now approximately be 8767

Answer:

[tex]t=\frac{m-7.5}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{10}}}=\sqrt{10} (\frac{m-7.5}{s})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation

n=10 represent the sample size

[tex]\bar X=m[/tex] represent the sample mean  

[tex]s[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation

m represent the margin of error

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".  

The null hypothesis attempts "to show that no variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean"

The alternative hypothesis "is the hypothesis used in hypothesis testing that is contrary to the null hypothesis"

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean for the population is 7.5 or no, the system of hypothesis would be:    

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu =7.5[/tex]    

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu \neq 7.5[/tex]    

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case we can use the t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:    

[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)    

t-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]t=\frac{m-7.5}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{10}}}=(\sqrt{10})\frac{m-7.5}{s}[/tex]

and we have our statistic in terms of m (mean) and the sample standard deviation s.

This solution calculates the probability of different outcomes when rolling a fair die three times. The results are obtained by defining the successful outcomes versus the total possible outcomes for each specific event.

#SPJ12

The probability of rolling all 4's is 1/64. The probability of rolling all even numbers is 7/64. The probability of not rolling all 2's is 63/64.

a) The probability of rolling all 4's is ⅛3, or 1/64. There is only one way to roll a 4 on a fair die and a total of 6 possible outcomes on each roll, so the probability is 1/6. Since the rolls are independent, the probability of getting a 4 on all three rolls is (1/6)(1/6)(1/6) = 1/64.

b) The probability of rolling all even numbers is also 1/64. There are 3 even numbers on a die (2, 4, and 6), so the probability of rolling an even number on any single roll is 3/6 or 1/2. Since the rolls are independent, the probability of getting an even number on all three rolls is (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8. However, we need to subtract the probability of rolling all 4's from this, which is also 1/64. So the final probability is 1/8 - 1/64 = 7/64.

c) The probability of none of the rolls getting a number divisible by 2 is 1 - (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8. This is the complement of rolling all even numbers.

d) The probability of rolling at least one 2 is 1 - the probability of rolling no 2's. The probability of not rolling a 2 on any single roll is 5/6, so the probability of not rolling a 2 on all three rolls is (5/6)(5/6)(5/6) = 125/216. Therefore, the probability of rolling at least one 2 is 1 - 125/216 = 91/216.

e) The probability of rolling all 2's is 1/64. Therefore, the probability of not rolling all 2's is 1 - 1/64 = 63/64.

Final answer:

The expected number of children who will get their own coat when the coats are handed out randomly to 10 students is 6, based on the concept of expected value in probability.

Explanation:

To calculate the expected number of children who get their own coat among 10 students using expected deviation:

First, assign a probability to each possible outcome (number of children getting their own coat). Since there are 10 students and each has an equal probability of getting their own coat, the probability for each outcome is 0.1.

Next, multiply each outcome by its respective probability and sum them up. This gives the expected value (E(x)).

E(x) = (1 * 0.1) + (2 * 0.1) + (3 * 0.1) + (4 * 0.1) + (5 * 0.1) + (6 * 0.1) + (7 * 0.1) + (8 * 0.1) + (9 * 0.1) + (10 * 0.1)

E(x) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.4 + 0.5 + 0.6 + 0.7 + 0.8 + 0.9 + 1.0

E(x) = 5.5

When rounded off, the expected number of children who get their own coat is 6.

Group 1 has 8 cows that receive the new feed + additive.

Group 2 has 5 cows that were fed with the old feed.

After two weeks of feeding the animals with the different feeds, the production of milk of each group was recorded so that they can be compared.

Since you have two separate groups to wich at random two different treatments were applied and later the variable was measured, these two samples/groups are independent and the proper test to compare the population means of the milk production in both groups is a pooled t.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate a 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the coating layer thickness distribution, use the sample variance, sample size, and chi-square distribution. The coating layer thickness should be approximately normally distributed for the confidence interval to be valid.

To calculate a 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the coating layer thickness distribution, we can use the chi-square distribution. First, we need to calculate the sample variance and sample size. Then, we can use the chi-square distribution table to find the critical values for a 99% confidence interval with (n-1) degrees of freedom. Finally, we can calculate the confidence interval using the formula:

CI = sqrt((n - 1) * s^2 / X^2)

where CI is the confidence interval, n is the sample size, s^2 is the sample variance, and X^2 is the critical value from the chi-square distribution.

In this case, the coating layer thickness should be approximately normally distributed for the confidence interval to be valid.

https://brainly.com/question/34700241

#SPJ3

In the given case, the answer No, validity of this interval requires that coating layer thickness be, at least approximately, normally distributed.

To calculate the 99% confidence interval (CI) for the standard deviation of the coating layer thickness distribution, we can use the chi-square distribution.

Given that the sample size is small (n = 8), we'll use the chi-square distribution with  n - 1 = 7 degrees of freedom.

The formula for the confidence interval is:

[tex]\[ \left( \sqrt{\frac{(n-1)S^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2, n-1}}}, \sqrt{\frac{(n-1)S^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2, n-1}}} \right) \][/tex]

Given the sample observations: 21, 16, 29, 36, 42, 25, 24, 25, we first need to calculate the sample standard deviation:

[tex]\[ S = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(X_i - \bar{X})^2}{n-1}} \][/tex]

Let's perform the calculations:

[tex]\[ S = \sqrt{\frac{(21-27.625)^2 + (16-27.625)^2 + \ldots + (25-27.625)^2}{7}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ S \approx 9.38 \][/tex]

Now, plug the values into the formula:

[tex]\[ \left( \sqrt{\frac{7 \times 9.38^2}{18.48}}, \sqrt{\frac{7 \times 9.38^2}{2.17}} \right) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \left( \sqrt{26.97}, \sqrt{229.78} \right) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \left( 5.19, 15.15 \right) \][/tex]

Therefore, the 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the coating layer thickness distribution is approximately [tex]\( (5.19, 15.15) \)[/tex] micrometers.

Therefore, the answer is: No, validity of this interval requires that coating layer thickness be, at least approximately, normally distributed.

Answer: Margin of error would be 1.47 for 95% confidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 26.8

Standard deviation = 7.5

n = 100

We need to find the margin of error for 95% confidence.

So, z = 1.96

So, the margin of error would be

[tex]z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1.96\times \dfrac{7.5}{\sqrt{100}}\\\\=\dfrac{14.7}{10}\\\\=1.47[/tex]

Hence, margin of error would be 1.47 for 95% confidence.

The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the mean BMI of 100 young women sampled from the NHANES data with a standard deviation of 7.5 would be approximately ±1.47.

The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is determined using the standard deviation and the sample size. Given that you have a standard deviation (σ) of 7.5 and a sample size (n) of 100, you can calculate the standard error (SE) using the formula SE = σ/√n. To compute your 95% margin of error, multiply the standard error by the z-score associated with a 95% confidence level, which is 1.96.

Apply these to the formulas:

So, the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the mean BMI of 100 young women sampled would be approximately ±1.47.

Answer: 500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sergio and Lizeth have planned to rent a car from a company that charges $75 a week plus $0.25 a mile.

i.e. Fixed charge= $75

Rate per mile = $0.25

Let x denotes the number of miles.

Then, Total charges = Fixed charge+ Rate per mile x No. of miles traveled

=  $75+ $0.25x

To keep budget within $200, we have following equation.

[tex]75+0.25x=200\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25=200-75\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25=125\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{125}{0.25}=\dfrac{12500}{25}=500[/tex]

Hence, they can travel 500 miles and still keep within their $200 budget.

The function y = 1.29x + 3 represents the price y a website store charges for shipping x items. The reasonable range for this function depends on the context. Since the function represents the price of shipping, the range should be positive, as shipping cannot have a negative price.

Therefore, the reasonable range for this function would be J- all positive real numbers.

Final answer:

The reasonable range for the shipping cost function starts from 3 and includes values that increase by 1.29 for each additional item, corresponding to whole numbers of items shipped. Therefore, the answer is G - {4.29, 5.58, 6.87, ...}.

Explanation:

The function given is y = 1.29x + 3, which represents the price y that a website store charges for shipping x items. Since shipping cannot have a negative cost and the minimum number of items shipped is either zero or a positive integer, the reasonable range for this function would begin at the point where x is zero. Therefore, we start our range by calculating the shipping cost for zero items: 1.29(0) + 3 = 3. As x increases, the cost will also increase linearly according to the function. Hence, all subsequent shipping prices will be greater than 3.

Now, let's consider what the reasonable range for shipping items would be. It would be abnormal to have a fractional number of items shipped because items are discrete entities. Thus, the list of shipping prices should only include charges for whole numbers of items. So, the range should only include prices that correspond to whole numbers of items shipped.

As a result, the reasonable range would include values starting from y = 3 onwards at intervals of 1.29 times an integer value. Option G, which starts from 4.29 and increases at a constant rate of 1.29, represents these intervals since 4.29 is the price for shipping one item (1.29*1 + 3). Any positive number of items shipped will result in a corresponding shipping price that is greater than 3, and since it is discreetly incremented, the prices will form a sequence of specific numbers, not all positive real numbers. Therefore, option G - {4.29, 5.58, 6.87, ...} - is the most appropriate answer.

The probability that the ant will be at 1 after 3 seconds is 49/64.

To find the probability that the ant will be at 1 after 3 seconds, we need to consider all possible paths it can take. After each second, the ant can either move left with a probability of 1/4 or move right with a probability of 3/4.

Let's analyze all the possible paths:

Adding up the probabilities from each path, the total probability that the ant will be at 1 after 3 seconds is (27/64) + (9/64) + (9/64) + (3/64) + (1/64) = 49/64.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Your study variable is X: the lifespan of a light bulb. This variable is said to have an approximately normal distribution.

X≈N(μ;σ²)

Were

μ= populatiom mean

σ= 45 hs standard deviation

A sample of n= 35

To estimate the population mean with a confidence interval you have to use the Z statistic:

X{bar} ± [tex]Z_{1-\alpha /2}[/tex]*(σ/√n)

[tex]Z_{1-\alpha /2} = Z_{0.98} = 2.054[/tex]

Answer:

The probability is [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students are 200.

number of full timers is 110 and number of part timers is 90.

number of male students is 90 and number of female students is 110.

Let the probability of part timers be P(B).

P(B) = [tex]\frac{90}{200}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex]

Let the probability of female part timers be P(A)

P(A) = [tex]\frac{50}{200} = \frac{5}{20}[/tex]

now, the final probability is

= [tex]\frac{P(A)}{P(B)}[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{5/20}{9/20} = \frac{5}{9}[/tex]

The confidence interval for population mean (when population standard deviation is unknown) is given by :-

[tex]\overline{x}-t^*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}< \mu<\overline{x}+z^*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

, where n= sample size

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] = Sample mean

s= sample size

t* = Critical value.

Given : n= 25

Degree of freedom : [tex]df=n-1=24[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x}= \$93.36[/tex]

[tex]s=\ $19.95[/tex]

Significance level for 98% confidence interval : [tex]\alpha=1-0.98=0.02[/tex]

Using t-distribution table ,

Two-tailed critical value for 98% confidence interval :

[tex]t^*=t_{\alpha/2,\ df}=t_{0.01,\ 24}=2.4922[/tex]

⇒ The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval = 2.4922

Then, the 95% confidence interval would be :-

[tex]93.36-(2.4922)\dfrac{19.95}{\sqrt{25}}< \mu<93.36+(2.4922)\dfrac{19.95}{\sqrt{25}}[/tex]

[tex]=93.36-9.943878< \mu<93.36+9.943878[/tex]

[tex]=93.36-9.943878< \mu<93.36+9.943878[/tex]

[tex]=83.416122< \mu<103.303878\approx83.4161<\mu<103.3039[/tex]

Hence, the 98% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. = [tex]83.4161<\mu<103.3039[/tex]

Answer:  C

Step-by-step explanation:

Rejecting the null hypothesis means we've found a significant difference in the means.  That means the probability that we'd see means so far apart by chance is less than our threshold of significance.
