A study of 420,076 cell phone users found that 131 of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such

cancer was found to be 0.0224% for those not using cellphones. Complete parts (a) and (b)

a. Use the sample data to construct a 95 i dence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system

%



(Round to three decimal places as needed)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 95% Confidence interval = (0.026%, 0.037%) to 3 d.p

b) The result of the 95% confidence interval does not agree with the previous rate of such cancer because the value 0.0224% does not lie within this confidence interval obtained.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the population proportion is basically an interval of range of values where the true population proportion can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± (Margin of error)

Sample proportion = (131/420076) = 0.0003118483 = 0.0312%

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error)

Critical value at 95% confidence interval for sample size of 420,076 is obtained from the z-tables because the sample size is large enough for the properties of the sample to approximate the population properties.

Critical value = 1.960 (from the z-tables)

Standard error = σₓ = √[p(1-p)/n]

n = sample size = 420,076

σₓ = √(0.0003118×0.999688/420076) = 0.0000272421 = 0.0000272

95% Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error)]

CI = 0.000312 ± (1.96 × 0.0000272)

CI = 0.000312 ± 0.0000534

95% CI = (0.0002586055, 0.0003653945)

95% Confidence interval = (0.000259, 0.000365)

95% Confidence interval = (0.0259%, 0.0365%) = (0.026%, 0.037%) to 3 d.p

b) The result of the 95% confidence interval does not agree with the previous rate of such cancer because the value 0.0224% does not lie within this confidence interval obtained.

Hope this Helps!!!

8. Solve the equation to
show how I = v/r becomes
R= v/l Show your work

Answers

Final answer:

To solve the equation I = v/r and show how R = v/l, we can rearrange the equation I = v/r to solve for r, which gives r = v/I. Then substitute v/l for I to get r = v/(v/l) = l. Therefore, R = l.

Explanation:

To solve for R = v/l, we can start by rearranging the equation I = v/r to solve for r. Multiply both sides of the equation by r to isolate it, which gives us I * r = v. Then divide both sides of the equation by I to solve for r, which gives us r = v/I. Now substitute v/l for I to get r = v/(v/l). Simplify the expression by multiplying the numerator and denominator by l, which gives us r = lv/v = l. Therefore, R = l.

This shows how the original equation [tex]\( I = \frac{v}{r} \)[/tex]can be rearranged to solve for[tex]\( R \) (or \( r \))[/tex] in the form [tex]\( R = \frac{v}{I} \)[/tex]. It is important to note that in the context of physics, [tex]\( I \)[/tex] typically represents current, [tex]\( v \)[/tex]represents voltage, and [tex]\( R \)[/tex] represents resistance. The equation [tex]\( I = \frac{v}{r} \)[/tex] is Ohm's law, which relates the voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. The rearranged form [tex]\( R = \frac{v}{I} \)[/tex] is used to find the resistance when the voltage and current are known.

To solve the equation [tex]\( I = \frac{v}{r} \)[/tex] for [tex]\( R \)[/tex], we need to isolate [tex]\( R \)[/tex] on one side of the equation. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Start with the original equation:

[tex]\[ I = \frac{v}{r} \][/tex]

2. Multiply both sides of the equation by [tex]\( r \)[/tex] to eliminate the denominator:

[tex]\[ I \cdot r = v \][/tex]

3. Now, we want to solve for [tex]\( R \)[/tex], so we need to divide both sides of the equation by [tex]\( I \)[/tex] to isolate [tex]\( R \)[/tex] on one side:

[tex]\[ r = \frac{v}{I} \][/tex]

4. Notice that in the original equation, [tex]\( I \)[/tex] is used, but in the desired equation, [tex]\( R \)[/tex] is used. This seems to be a typo in the question, as [tex]\( I \)[/tex]and [tex]\( R \)[/tex] are likely meant to represent the same variable. Assuming [tex]\( I \)[/tex]and [tex]\( R \)[/tex] are the same, we can rewrite the equation as:

[tex]\[ R = \frac{v}{I} \][/tex]

5. Now, we have [tex]\( R \)[/tex] isolated on one side, which is the desired form of the equation.

Therefore, the final answer, assuming [tex]\( I \)[/tex] and [tex]\( R \)[/tex] represent the same variable, is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{R = \frac{v}{I}} \][/tex]

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 30 students, 18 of them play basketball and 9 of them
play baseball. There are 10 students who play neither sport. What is the probability
that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?

Answers

Probability that a student will play both is 7/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students = 30

No. of students who play basketball = 18

Probability that a student will play basketball = 18/30

= 3/5

No. of students who play baseball = 9

Probability that a student will play baseball = 9/30

= 3/10

No. of students who play neither sport = 10

Probability that a student will play neither sport = 10/30

= 1/3

To find :

Probability that a student will play both = p(student will play both)

No.of students who play sport = 30 - 10

= 20

Out of 20 students 18 play basketball and 9 play baseball.

So, some students play both the sports.

No. of students who play both sports = 18 + 9 - 20

= 7

p(student will play both) = 7/30

Probability that a student will play both is 7/30

Mai is visiting Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. She is 80 feet away

when she spots it. To see the top, she has to look up at an angle of 85.7 degrees. How

Answers

Answer: height of the tower is 1064 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine the height of the tower.

Assuming her line of sight of the top of the tower is a straight line, then a right angle triangle is formed. The height, h of the tower represents the opposite side of the triangle. Her distance from the foot of the tower represents the adjacent side of the triangle.

To determine h, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side

Therefore,

Tan 85.7 = h/80

h = 80tan 85.7

h = 1064 feet

The tower is 1063.97 feet.

Final answer:

The question seems to involve solving a trigonometric equation with an incomplete equation provided. It suggests the use of trigonometric identities and basic values of sin and cos at 0 degrees to simplify and solve trigonometric equations.

Explanation:

The question appears to be incorrectly phrased or incomplete. However, it seems to involve solving a trigonometric equation involving sine and cosine functions. To approach such equations, one common strategy is to use trigonometric identities to simplify the equation.

For instance the given expression sin x + 2 sin x cos x can be simplified using the double angle identity or factoring, allowing for easier solution. Yet, without a clear equation to solve or a specific value to find, it's challenging to provide a direct answer.

Solving trigonometric equations often requires understanding basic trigonometric functions like sin 0, which is 0, and cos, which is 1 at 0 degrees. These values are fundamental and help in simplifying equations to find solutions within a given domain, typically between 0° and 360° for high school mathematics problems.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is an enlargement only when the dilation factor > 1

Only 5/2 is greater than 1

Others are less than 1

Final answer:

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure without changing its shape. It is represented algebraically as 'y=a*x' or 'y=a*x+b', where 'a' is the scale factor. If 'a' is greater than 1, it represents an enlargement.

Explanation:

In algebra, a dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure without altering its shape. It can either enlarge (expansion) or reduce (contraction) a figure depending on the scale factor. If the scale factor is more than 1, the dilation is an enlargement. Any algebraic representation, such as 'y=a*x' or 'y=a*x+b' where 'a' is greater than 1, represents a dilation that is an enlargement. For instance, if we have y=2x, the '2' is the scale factor that determines the enlargement. The greater the number, the larger the image after dilation.
