In a math class there are 8 male students and 7 female students. A student is randomly selected to go to the front office and leaves. A second student is randomly selected to go to the office. What is the approximate probability that both students that left were male students? *
Final answer:
To find the probability of selecting two male students from a class with 8 male and 7 female students, we multiply the individual probabilities. Hence, the answer is 4/15.
Explanation:
Probability of getting a male student in the first selection: 8/15
Probability of getting a male student in the second selection given the first is male: 7/14
Probability both selections are male students: (8/15) * (7/14) = 8/30 = 4/15
Suppose that A and B each randomly, and independently, choose 3 of 10 objects. Find the expected number of objects (a) chosen by both A and B; (b) not chosen by either A or B; (c) chosen by exactly one of A and B.
Answer:
a) N(A∩B) = 0.9
b) N(A∩B) = 4.9
c) N(A or B) = 4.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that A and B each randomly, and independently, choose 3 of 10 objects;
P(A) = P(B) = 3/10 = 0.3
P(A') = P(B') = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7
a) chosen by both;
Probability of being chosen by both;
P(A∩B) = 0.3 × 0.3 = 0.09
Expected Number of objects being chosen by both;
N(A∩B) = P(A∩B) × N(total) = 0.09×10
N(A∩B) = 0.9
b) not chosen by either A or B;
Probability of not being chosen by either A or B;
P(A'∩B') = 0.7 × 0.7 = 0.49
Expected Number of objects being chosen by both;
N(A'∩B') = P(A'∩B') × N(total) = 0.49×10
N(A∩B) = 4.9
c) chosen by exactly one of A and B.
Probability of being chosen by exactly one of A and B
P(A∩B') + P(A'∩B) = 0.3×0.7 + 0.7 × 0.3 = 0.42
Expected Number of objects being chosen by both;
N(A or B) = 0.42 × 10
N(A or B) = 4.2
The expected number of objects chosen by both A and B is 0.9. The expected number of objects not chosen by either A or B is 9.1. The expected number of objects chosen by exactly one of A and B is 4.2.
Explanation:To find the expected number of objects chosen by both A and B, we can use the multiplication rule. Since A and B each independently choose 3 objects from a set of 10, the probability of choosing a specific object is 3/10 for both A and B. Therefore, the expected number of objects chosen by both A and B is (3/10)(3/10)(10) = 0.9.
To find the expected number of objects not chosen by either A or B, we can subtract the expected number of objects chosen by both A and B from the total number of objects. So, the expected number of objects not chosen by either A or B is 10 - 0.9 = 9.1.
To find the expected number of objects chosen by exactly one of A and B, we can use the addition rule. Since A and B each independently choose 3 objects, the probability of choosing a specific object is 3/10 for both A and B. Therefore, the expected number of objects chosen by exactly one of A and B is 2(3/10)(7/10)(10) = 4.2.

2. A spike train, commonly used to study neural activity, is a sequence of recorded times at which a neuron fires an action potential (spike). The time in between consecutive spikes is called the interspike interval (ISI). Answer the questions below for an experiment in which the firing rate for a neuron is 10 per second. (a) Let X represent a single interspike interval (ISI) having an exponential distribution. State the distribution of X and give its parameter value(s). (2 points) (b) Give the expected value and variance for an interspike interval (ISI). (4 points) (c) What is the probability that an ISI is less than 0.07 seconds
Answer:
a) X ~ exp ( 10 )
b) E(X) = 0.1 , Var (X) = 0.01
c) P ( X < 0.07 ) = 0.00698
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
- The spike train, used to study neural activity, the given time in between consecutive spikes (ISI) where the firing rate = 10 neurons per seconds.
- Denote a random variable "X"represent a single interspike interval (ISI) having an exponential distribution.
- Where X follows exponential distribution defined by event rate parameter i.e λ.
X ~ Exp ( λ )
- The event rate (λ) is the number of times an event occurs per unit time. Since we are studying a single interspike interval (ISI) - which corresponds to the firing rate. So, event rate (λ) = firing rate = 10 neurons per second. Hence, the distribution is:
X ~ Exp ( 10 )
- The expected value E(X) denotes the amount of time in which a single an event occurs; hence, the time taken for a single neuron.
E(X) = 1 / λ
E(X) = 1 / 10
E(X) = 0.1 s per neuron.
- The variance is the variation in the time taken by a single neuron to be emitted. It is defined as:
Var (X) = 1 / λ^2
Var (X) = 1 / 10^2
Var (X) = 0.01 s^2
- The probability that ISI is less than t = 0.07 seconds: P ( X < t = 0.07 s):
- The cumulative distribution function for exponential variate "X" is:
P ( X < t ) = 1 - e^(-λ*t)
- Plug the values and the determine:
P ( X < 0.07 ) = 1 - e^(-0.1*0.07)
= 1 - 0.99302
= 0.00698

Step-by-step explanation:
Bottles of purified water are assumed to contain 250 milliliters of water. There is some variation from bottle to bottle because the filling machine is not perfectly precise. Usually, the distribution of the contents is approximately Normal. An inspector measures the contents of eight randomly selected bottles from one day of production. The results are 249.3, 250.2, 251.0, 248.4, 249.7, 247.3, 249.4, and 251.5 milliliters. Do these data provide convincing evidence at α = 0.05 that the mean amount of water in all the bottles filled that day differs from the target value of 250 milliliters?
Answer:
We accept H₀ we don´t have evidence of differences between the information from the sample and the population mean
Step-by-step explanation:
From data and excel (or any statistics calculator) we get:
X = 249,6 ml and s 1,26 ml
Sample mean and sample standard deviation respectively.
Population mean μ₀ = 250 ml
We have a normal distribution but we dont know the standard deviation of the population. Furthermore we have a two tails test since we are finding if the sample give us evidence of differences ( in both senses ) when we compare them with the amount of water spec ( 250 ml )
Our test hypothesis are: null hypothesis H₀ X = μ₀
Alternative Hypothesis Hₐ X ≠ μ₀
We also know that sample size is 8 therefore df = 8 - 1 df = 7 , with this value and the fact that we are required to test at α = 0,05 ( two tails test)
t = 2,365
Then we evaluate our interval:
X ± t* (s/√n) ⇒ 249,6 ± 2,365 * ( 1,26/√8 )
249,6 ± 2,365 * (1,26/2,83) ⇒ 249,6 ± 2,365 *0,45
249,6 ± 1,052
P [ 250,652 ; 248,548]
Then the population mean 250 is inside the interval, therefore we must accept that the bottles have being fill withing the spec. We accept H₀
Answer:
Because the p-value of 0.4304 is greater than the significance level of 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We conclude the data provide convincing evidence that the mean amount of water in all the bottles filled that day does not differ from the target value of 250 milliliters.

Two different types of polishing solutions are being evaluated for possible use in a tumble-polish operation for manufacturing interocular lenses used in the human eye following cataract surgery. Three hundred lenses were tumble polished using the first polishing solution, and of this number, 253 had no polishing-induced defects. Another 300 lenses were tumble-polished using the second polishing solution, and 196 lenses were satisfactory upon completion.
Is there any reason to believe that the two polishing solutions differ? Use α = 0.05. What is the P-value for this test?
Answer:
[tex]z=\frac{0.843-0.653}{\sqrt{0.748(1-0.748)(\frac{1}{300}+\frac{1}{300})}}=5.358[/tex]
[tex]p_v =2*P(Z>5.358) = 4.2x10^{-8}[/tex]
Comparing the p value with the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that we have singificantly differences between the two proportions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
[tex]X_{1}=253[/tex] represent the number with no defects in sample 1
[tex]X_{2}=196[/tex] represent the number with no defects in sample 1
[tex]n_{1}=300[/tex] sample 1
[tex]n_{2}=300[/tex] sample 2
[tex]p_{1}=\frac{253}{300}=0.843[/tex] represent the proportion of number with no defects in sample 1
[tex]p_{2}=\frac{196}{300}=0.653[/tex] represent the proportion of number with no defects in sample 2
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the value for the test (variable of interest)
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] significance level given
Concepts and formulas to use
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if is there is a difference in the the two proportions, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]p_{1} - p_2}=0[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p_{1} - p_{2} \neq 0[/tex]
We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}[/tex] (1)
Where [tex]\hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{253+196}{300+300}=0.748[/tex]
z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.
Calculate the statistic
Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:
[tex]z=\frac{0.843-0.653}{\sqrt{0.748(1-0.748)(\frac{1}{300}+\frac{1}{300})}}=5.358[/tex]
Statistical decision
Since is a two sided test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =2*P(Z>5.358) = 4.2x10^{-8}[/tex]
Comparing the p value with the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that we have singificantly differences between the two proportions.

Your Mutual Fund was valued at $237,500. It has lost 6% per year for the last 3 years. What is its value today?
a) $179,263.70
b) $187,721.40
c) $197,263.70
d) $237,500.60
Answer:
The answer is C) $197,263.70
Step-by-step explanation:
It's losing 6% PER year for the last 3 year.
You can do what I did and take $237,500 and times it 0.06. Which should give you 14,250, that is how much is lost in year one.
So subtract 14,250 from 237,500, you should have $223,250 now.
Repeat the first step with $223,250 now, you times it by 0.06 again and you should get 13,395, you subtract that from $223,250.
You have $209,855 now, once again times that by 0.06 and you get 12,591.30. Subtract 12,591.30 from 209,855 and you should end up with $197,263.70

An article titled "Teen Boys Forget Whatever It Was" appeared in the Australian newspaper The Mercury (April 21, 1997). It described a study of academic perfor- mance and attention span and reported that the mean time to distraction for teenage boys working on an inde- pendent task was 4 minutes. Although the sample size was not given in the article, suppose that this mean was based on a random sample of 50 teenage Australian boys and that the sample standard deviation was 1.4 minutes. Is there convincing evidence that the average attention span for teenage boys is less than 5 minutes? Test the relevant hypotheses using a .01.
Answer:
We conclude that the average attention span for teenage boys is less than 5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the mean time to distraction for teenage boys working on an independent task was 4 minutes.
Suppose that this mean was based on a random sample of 50 teenage Australian boys and that the sample standard deviation was 1.4 minutes.
Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = average attention span for teenage boys
SO, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu \geq[/tex] 5 minutes {means that the average attention span for teenage boys is more than or equal to 5 minutes}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] < 5 minutes {means that the average attention span for teenage boys is less than 5 minutes}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about the population standard deviation;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean attention time span for teenage boys = 4 min
s = sample standard deviation = 1.4 min
n = sample of teenage boys = 50
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{4-5}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{50} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_4_9[/tex]
= -5.051
Now at 0.01 significance level, the t table gives critical value of -2.405 at 49 degree of freedom for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of t as -2.405 > -5.051, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.
Therefore, we conclude that the average attention span for teenage boys is less than 5 minutes.
How much money does Bill need for his down payment if his house is $ 450,000? He has to put 10% down.
Bill has a program that gives him 80 percent of that down payment, the rest he has to come up with. How much money does Bill need?
PLEASE HELP ME
Answer:
He would need 45,000 for his down payment. He would only have to come up with 9,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
10% times 450,000 is 45,000.
80% times 45,000 is 36,000. 45,000 minus 3600 is 9,000.
Answer:
$9,000
Step-by-step explanation:
10% of 450000
10/100 × 450000

. If Triangle ABC is equilateral, solve for X... *
7 (8x - 44)
Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation: (8x-44)+(8x-44)+(8x-44)=180
24x-132=180
24x=312
312/24
x=13
Showing Proof
8(13)-44=60
60+60+60=180
Therefore the answer is x=13
In the triangle in the given diagram, the value of x is 13
In the diagram, the value of ∠C = (8x -44)°.
To determine the value of x, we will first determine the measure of ∠C.
From the question,
Triangle ABC is equilateral
Recall that, each interior angle of an equilateral triangle equals 60°.
∴ m ∠C = 60°
Since the measure of ∠C = 60°
Then, we can write that
(8x - 44)° = 60°
Now, we will solve the above equation for x
8x° - 44° = 60°
First, add 44° to both sides
8x° - 44° + 44° = 60° + 44°
8x° = 104°
∴ x = 104° ÷ 8°
x = 13
Hence, in the given triangle, the value of x is 13

Amara was working on a report on Greek and Egyptian mathematicians. She decided to find a 98 percent confidence interval for the difference in mean age at the time of significant mathematics discoveries for Greek versus Egyptian mathematicians. She found the ages at the time of math discovery of all the members of both groups and found the 98 percent confidence interval based on a t-distribution using a calculator.
The procedure she used is not appropriate in this context becauseA. The sample sizes for the two groups are not equal.B. Age at the time of math discovery occurs at different intervals in the two countries, so the distribution of ages cannot be the same.C. Ages at the time of math discovery are likely to be skewed rather than bell shaped, so the assumptions for using this confidence interval formula are not valid.D. Age at the time of math discovery is likely to have a few large outliers, so the assumption for using this confidence interval formula is not valid.E. The entire population is measured in both cases, so the actual difference in means can be computed and a confidence interval should not be used.
Answer:
E. The entire population is measured in both cases, so the actual difference in means can be computed and a confidence interval should not be used.
Step-by-step explanation:
The entire population of Greek and Egyptian mathematicians was already measured by Amara. She can measure the actual difference in the mean. Therefore, she needn't use a confidence interval. It is mostly common for a researcher to be more interested in the difference between means than in the specific values of the means. The difference in sample means is used to compute the difference in population means.
Amara's sample is a random selection of Greek and Egyptian mathematicians. It is a smaller group drawn from the population that has the characteristics of the entire population. The observations and conclusions made against the sample data are attributed to the population. In this case, the entire position is measured.
A t-test is a type of inferential statistic used to determine if there is a significant difference between the means of two groups (Greek and Egyptian mathematicians) which may be related in certain features. It is mostly used when the data sets, like the data set recorded as the outcome from rolling a die 50 times, would follow a normal distribution and may have unknown variances. A t-test is used as a hypothesis testing tool, which allows testing of an assumption applicable to a population. Once the actual difference is known, a confidence interval should not be used.
A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 6 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $22. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 5 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $16. Find the cost for each pound of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix.
Answer:
Jelly Bean price per pound = $3.25, Trail Mix price per pound = $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let jb = price per pound of jelly beans
Let tm = price per pound of trail mix
equation 1 -> 6*jb + 2*tm = 22
equation 2 -> 3*jb + 5*tm = 16
simplify equation 1
6*jb + 2tm = 22
2*tm = 22 - 6*jb
divide by 2
tm = 11 - 3*jb
plug this into equation 2
3*jb + 5*tm = 16
3*jb + 5*(11-3*jb) = 16
3*jb + 55 - 15*jb = 16
-12*jb + 55 = 16
-12*jb = 16 - 55
-12*jb = -39
jb = -39/-12

The data in NutritionStudy include information on nutrition and health habits of a sample of people. One of the variables is Smoke, indicating whether a person smokes or not (yes or no). Use technology to test whether the data provide evidence that the proportion of smokers is different from given that identify themselves as smokers.
Required:
Clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses. Your answer should be an expression.
Answer:
H₀: p = 0.20.
Hₐ: p ≠ 0.20.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is:
The data in Nutrition Study include information on nutrition and health habits of a sample of 315 people. One of the variables is Smoke, indicating whether a person smokes or not (yes or no). Use technology to test whether the data provide evidence that the proportion of smokers is different from 20% given that 43 identify themselves as smokers. Clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses
In this case we need to test whether the proportion of smokers is different from 20%.
A one-proportion z-test can be used to determine the conclusion for this test.
The hypothesis defined as:
H₀: The proportion of smokers is 20%, i.e. p = 0.20.
Hₐ: The proportion of smokers is different from 20%, i.e. p ≠ 0.20.
The information provided is:
n = 315
X = number of people who identified themselves as smokers = 43
Compute the sample proportion of smokers as follows:
[tex]\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{43}{315}=0.137[/tex]
Compute the test statistic as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}=\frac{0.137-0.20}{\sqrt{\frac{0.20(1-0.20)}{315}}}=-2.80[/tex]
The test statistic is -2.80.
Compute the p-value as follows:
[tex]p-value=2\times P(Z<-2.80)\\=2\times [1-P(Z<2.80)]\\=2\times [1-0.99744]\\=0.00512[/tex]
*Use a z-table.
The p-value is 0.00512.
The p-value is quite small. So, the null hypothesis will be rejected at any significance level.
Thus, it can be concluded that the proportion of smokers is different from 20%.
The null hypothesis is that the proportion of smokers is 20% and the alternative hypothesis is that the proportion of smokers is not 20%.
What is null hypothesis?The null hypothesis simply means that there's no effect or relationship between the variables while the alternative hypothesis simply states that the prediction of the research has an effect
In this case, the null hypothesis is that the proportion of smokers is 20% and the alternative hypothesis is that the proportion of smokers is not 20%.

The mean of a population is 74 and the standard deviation is 16. The shape of the population is unknown. Determine the probability of each of the following occurring from this population. Appendix A Statistical Tables a. A random sample of size 34 yielding a sample mean of 76 or more b. A random sample of size 120 yielding a sample mean of between 73 and 75 c. A random sample of size 218 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.8
Answer:
(a) P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 76) = 0.2327
(b) P(73 < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 75) = 0.5035
(c) P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 74.8) = 0.77035
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the mean of a population is 74 and the standard deviation is 16.
Assuming the data follows normal distribution.
Let [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean
The z-score probability distribution for 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 = 74
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 16
n = sample size
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.
(a) Probability that a random sample of size 34 yielding a sample mean of 76 or more is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 76)
P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 76) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] [tex]\frac{76-74}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{34} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\geq[/tex] 0.73) = 1 - P(Z < 0.73)
= 1 - 0.7673 = 0.2327
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.73 in the z table which has an area of 0.7673.
(b) Probability that a random sample of size 120 yielding a sample mean of between 73 and 75 is given by = P(73 < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 75) = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 75) - P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 73)
P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 75) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\frac{75-74}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{120} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.68) = 0.75175
P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 73) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{73-74}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{120} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -0.68) =1 - P(Z < 0.68)
= 1 - 0.75175 = 0.24825
Therefore, P(73 < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 75) = 0.75175 - 0.24825 = 0.5035
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.68 in the z table which has an area of 0.75175.
(c) Probability that a random sample of size 218 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.8 is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 74.8)
P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 74.8) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\frac{74.8-74}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{218} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.74) = 0.77035
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.74 in the z table which has an area of 0.77035.

What property is 7/8+0=7/8?
Answer:
wdym
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation 7/8 + 0 = 7/8 demonstrates the Identity Property of Addition, which states adding zero to any number leaves it unchanged. This property highlights zero's role as the addition identity element.
Explanation:The property illustrated by the equation 7/8 + 0 = 7/8 is known as the Identity Property of Addition. This property states that adding zero to any number or fraction does not change its value. It's an essential property in mathematics, underlining the concept that zero is the identity element for addition. This implies that adding zero to a number does not contribute any new value, essentially leaving the original number unchanged.
In broader mathematical contexts, understanding such properties helps in simplifying expressions and solving equations more efficiently. The identity property, similar to the concept of identity in multiplication (where multiplying by 1 leaves a number unchanged), plays a crucial role in developing more complex algebraic concepts and operations.
The population p of a small community on the outskirts of a city grows rapidly over a 20-year period: t05101520p1002004509502000 As an engineer working for a utility company, you must forecast the population 5 years into the future in order to anticipate the demand for power. Employ an exponential model and linear regression to make this prediction. (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
The population of the small community, 5 years into the future, after the initial 20-year period = 4268.
Step-by-step explanation:
t | 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20
p | 100 | 200 | 450 | 950 | 2000
The exponential function will look like
p = aeᵏᵗ
where a and k are constants.
Take the natural logarithms of both sides
In p = In aeᵏᵗ
In p = In a + In eᵏᵗ
In p = In a + kt
In p = kt + In a.
We then use linear regression to fit the data of In p against t to obtain k and In a.
t | 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20
p | 100 | 200 | 450 | 950 | 2000
In p | 4.605 | 5.298 | 6.109 | 6.856 | 7.601
In p = kt + In a.
y = mx + b
m = k and b = In a
Performing a linear regression analysis on the now-linear relationship between In p and t and also plotting a graph of the variables.
The regression equation obtained is
y = 0.151x + 4.584
The first attached image shows the equations necessary for the estimation of the linear regression parameters.
The second attached image shows the use of regression calculator and the plot of the function In p versus t.
Comparing
y = 0.151x + 4.584
With
In p = kt + In a.
y = In p
k = 0.151
x = t
In a = 4.584
a = 97.905
The exponential function relating p and t,
p = aeᵏᵗ now becomes
p = 97.905 e⁰•¹⁵¹ᵗ
So, to predict the population 5 years into the future, that is 5 years after the 20 year period.
we need p at t=25 years.
0.151 × 25 = 3.775
p(t=25) = 97.905 e³•⁷⁷⁵ = 4268.41 = 4268.
Hope this Helps!!!
To forecast another 5 years, an exponential growth model can be used. The growth rate 'r' can be estimated using linear regression on the natural log of population figures against time, and this rate can be used to compute the predicted population. However, such a model may not account for influences like resource depletion.
Explanation:To predict the population 5 years into the future, we can use an exponential model and linear regression. The population growth described suggests it follows a sort of exponential process where population counts increase more rapidly as time progresses.
Exponential growth can be modeled using the equation P(t) = P0 * e^(rt), where P(t) is the population at time t, P0 is the initial population, r is the growth rate, and e is the base of natural logarithms. To find 'r', we can plot the natural log of the population against time and apply linear regression. The slope of the regression line estimates the growth rate 'r'. Once we've estimated 'r', we can plug the estimated 'r', the current population P0, and the time (t=25, for 5 years into the future) into the formula to calculate the predicted population.
Though this approach gives an estimate, it's important to note that real-life population dynamics can be influenced by various factors not accounted for in a simple exponential model, such as carrying capacity and resource depletion. Thus, it's more of an optimistic estimate, assuming ideal conditions for continued growth.

During a recent drought, a water utility in a certain town sampled 100 residential water bills and found that 73 of the residences had reduced their water consumption over that of the previous year. f) If 95% confidence intervals are computed for 200 towns, what is the probability that more than 192 of the confidence intervals cover the true proportions
Final answer:
The probability of more than 192 confidence intervals containing the true proportion when constructing 95% confidence intervals across 200 towns, which follows a binomial distribution.
Explanation:
When constructing confidence intervals for a proportion, if we state that we have 95% confidence, this means that if we were to take many samples and build a confidence interval from each sample, we would expect 95% of those intervals to contain the population proportion. In the case with 200 towns, 95% confidence suggests that approximately 190 out of 200 intervals would contain the true population proportion, as 95% of 200 is 190.
To find the probability that more than 192 of these intervals contain the true proportion, we would use the binomial distribution, where each interval has a 0.95 probability of containing the true proportion (success), and we are looking for the sum of the probabilities of 193, 194, ..., 200 successes out of 200 trials.
