Answer:
The forecast error for the decomposition method was within ±3% and the multiple regression error was also within ±3%. Therefore, both methods provide low error and similar forecast accuracy.
Step-by-step explanation:
January sales for the fourth year as stated is $295,000.
While predicted sales of decomposition method and forecasted sales of multiple regression method were $298,424 and $286,736 respectively.
Our assumption is that for the accuracy to be valid, there is need for it needs to be within ±3% area of the actual results .
Therefore:
295000 × 0.03 = 8850
295000 + 8850 = 303850 ( expected predicted sales of decomposition by ±3%)
295000 - 8850 = 286150 (expected forecasted sales for multiple regression by ±3%)
We could see that both the results are within this ±3% area and decomposition was slightly more accurate. The forecast error for the decomposition method was within ±3% and the multiple regression error was also within ±3%. Therefore, both methods provide low error and similar forecast accuracy.
That's it!
A one-tailed test is a a. hypothesis test in which rejection region is in one tail of the sampling distribution b. hypothesis test in which rejection region is in both tails of the sampling distribution c. hypothesis test in which rejection region is only in the lower tail of the sampling distribution d. hypothesis test in which rejection region is only in the upper tail of the sampling distribution
Answer:
Option A) One tailed test is a hypothesis test in which rejection region is in one tail of the sampling distribution
Step-by-step explanation:
One Tailed Test:
A one tailed test is a test that have hypothesis of the form[tex]H_0: \bar{x} = \mu\\H_A: \bar{x} < \mu\text{ or } \bar{x} > \mu[/tex]
A one-tailed test is a hypothesis test that help us to test whether the sample mean would be higher or lower than the population mean.Rejection region is the area for which the null hypothesis is rejected.If we perform right tailed hypothesis that is the upper tail hypothesis then the rejection region lies in the right tail after the critical value.If we perform left tailed hypothesis that is the lower tail hypothesis then the rejection region lies in the left tail after the critical value.Thus, for one tailed test,
Option A) One tailed test is a hypothesis test in which rejection region is in one tail of the sampling distribution
Final answer:
A one-tailed test is a hypothesis test where the rejection region is in one tail of the sampling distribution, and is used when the research hypothesis is directional, testing the possibility of a relationship in one direction only. (Option a)
Explanation:
A one-tailed test is a hypothesis test in which the rejection region is in one tail of the sampling distribution. This means that the correct answer to the student's question is a. hypothesis test in which rejection region is in one tail of the sampling distribution. In a one-tailed test, you are testing for the possibility of the relationship in one direction and completely disregarding the possibility of a relationship in the other direction (which would be the criterion of a two-tailed test).
Depending on the research hypothesis, the rejection region could be in the lower tail (option c) or the upper tail (option d) of the probability distribution. For example, if the alternative hypothesis is HA: X > μ, we are performing a right-tailed test and rejects the null hypothesis if the test statistic falls in the upper tail (right side) of the distribution. If the alternative hypothesis is HA: X < μ, it is a left-tailed test and the rejection region would be in the lower tail (left side).
Ryan boards a Ferris wheel at the 3-o'clock position and rides the Ferris wheel for multiple revolutions. The Ferris wheel rotates at a constant angular speed of 6.5 radians per minute and has a radius of 30 feet. The center of the Ferris wheel is 36 feet above the ground. Let t represent the number of minutes since the Ferris wheel started rotating.
a. Write an expression (in terms of t) to represent the varying number of radians 0 Cody has swept out since the ride started.
b. Write an expression (in terms of t) to represent Cody's height (in feet) above the center of the Ferris wheel.
c. Write an expression (in terms of t) to represent Cody's height (in feet) above the ground.
a. The expression for the varying number of radians Cody has swept out since the ride started is 6.5t radians.
b. Cody's height above the center of the Ferris wheel is[tex]\(30\cos(6.5t)\)[/tex] feet.
c. Cody's height above the ground is [tex]\(36 + 30\cos(6.5t)\)[/tex] feet.
a. To represent the varying number of radians Cody has swept out since the ride started, we use the formula for angular distance:
[tex]\[ \text{Angular distance} = \text{angular speed} \times \text{time} \][/tex]
Given that the Ferris wheel rotates at a constant angular speed of 6.5 radians per minute, the expression in terms of t is:
[tex]\[ \text{Angular distance} = 6.5t \][/tex]
b. To represent Cody's height above the center of the Ferris wheel, we use the relationship between angular displacement and height:
[tex]\[ \text{Height} = \text{radius} \times \cos(\text{angular distance}) \][/tex]
Substituting the expression for angular distance from part (a), we get:
[tex]\[ \text{Height} = 30 \times \cos(6.5t) \][/tex]
c. To represent Cody's height above the ground, we add the height of the center of the Ferris wheel to Cody's height above the center:
[tex]\[ \text{Total height} = \text{Center height} + \text{Height above center} \][/tex]
Given that the center of the Ferris wheel is 36 feet above the ground, the expression in terms of t becomes:
[tex]\[ \text{Total height} = 36 + 30 \times \cos(6.5t) \][/tex]
These expressions represent Cody's angular distance, height above the center of the Ferris wheel, and height above the ground as functions of time t.
The following hypotheses are given. H0 : σ1² ≤ σ2² H1 : σ1² > σ2² A random sample of five observations from the first population resulted in a standard deviation of 12. A random sample of seven observations from the second population showed a standard deviation of 7. At the 0.01 significance level, is there more variation in the first population?
Final answer:
To assess whether there is more variation in the first population than in the second, calculate the F-statistic using the ratio of the squares of the sample standard deviations and compare it to the critical F-value at the 0.01 significance level. A calculated F-value significantly greater than 1 suggests greater variation in the first population, but the final decision depends on comparing the F-value to the F-distribution table.
Explanation:
To determine whether there is more variation in the first population at the 0.01 significance level, we can use an F-test for the comparison of two variances given that the populations are normally distributed. We begin by calculating the F-statistic, which is the ratio of the squares of the two sample standard deviations. The formula we use is:
F = (S1)2 / (S2)2
For the given data, the first population standard deviation is 12 and the second is 7, so we calculate the F-statistic as:
F = (122) / (72) = 144 / 49 = 2.9388
An F-value significantly greater than 1 suggests that the variance in the first population is greater than that in the second population. To determine if this observed F-value is statistically significant, we compare it to the critical value of F for the given degrees of freedom at the chosen significance level. However, critical F-values are obtained from statistical tables or software, and as we do not have the specific value for the degrees of freedom here, we cannot make the final comparison.
If the calculated F-value exceeds the critical value from an F-distribution table, we would reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is more variation in the first population. If it does not exceed the critical value, we would not reject the null hypothesis.
sequences: If tn = 4n−1, find t1, t2, t3 and tn+1 . Express tn+1−tn in its simplest form.
To solve the question, we find the specific terms of the sequence using the given formula and illustrate that the difference between any two consecutive terms of this sequence is consistently 4, displaying the sequence's linear progression.
Explanation:The question requires us to first find the terms t1, t2, t3, and tn+1 of a sequence described by the formula tn = 4n - 1, and then to find the difference tn+1 - tn in its simplest form. To solve this problem, we substitute the appropriate values of n into the given formula and simplify.
t1 = 4(1) - 1 = 3t2 = 4(2) - 1 = 7t3 = 4(3) - 1 = 11To find tn+1, substitute n+1 for n: tn+1 = 4(n+1) - 1 = 4n + 3To find the difference tn+1 - tn in its simplest form, we subtract tn from tn+1:
tn+1 - tn = (4n + 3) - (4n - 1) = 4
The difference between any two consecutive terms in this sequence is 4. This reveals a consistent increment pattern in the sequence, illustrating its linear nature.
A large jetliner with a wingspan of 40 m flies horizontally and due north at a speed of 300 m/s in a region where the magnetic field of earth is 60 uT directed 50 degrees below the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the induced emf between the ends of the wing?
a) 250 mV
b)350 mV
c) 550 mV
d) 750 mV
Using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced emf on a jetliner with a 40 m wingspan flying at 300 m/s through a 60 uT magnetic field directed 50 degrees below the horizontal is calculated to be 550 mV.
Explanation:The question involves calculating the induced electromotive force (emf) in the wings of a jetliner flying through the Earth's magnetic field, a concept from physics. By applying Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, we can determine the induced emf when a conductor moves through a magnetic field.
To solve for the induced emf, we use the equation emf = B * v * l * sin(θ), where B is the magnetic field strength, v is the velocity of the conductor, l is the length of the conductor, and θ is the angle between the direction of velocity and the magnetic field. Since the magnetic field is directed 50 degrees below the horizontal and the plane is flying horizontally due north, the angle θ will be 90 degrees (because the movement is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field's horizontal component).
Thus, the induced emf is calculated as follows:
B = 60 uT = 60 x 10-6 Tv = 300 m/sl = 40 msin(θ) = sin(90°) = 1emf = 60 x 10-6 T * 300 m/s * 40 m * 1 = 0.72 V = 720 mV
However, since this value is not an option in the multiple-choice answers provided, we might consider only the vertical component of the magnetic field, which contributes to the induction effect:
Bvertical = B * sin(50°)sin(50°) = 0.77 (approximately)Bvertical = 60 x 10-6 T * 0.77 = 46.2 x 10-6 Temf = 46.2 x 10-6 T * 300 m/s * 40 m * 1 = 0.55 V = 550 mVTherefore, the correct answer is 550 mV, which corresponds to option (c).
The brightness of a picture tube can be evaluated by measuring the amount of current required to achieve a particular brightness level. A sample of 10 tubes results in ¯x = 317.2 and s = 15.7 measured in microamps. (a) Find a 99% CI on mean current required.
Answer:
The 99% confidence interval for the mean would be (301.064;333.336) mA
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Notation and some definitions
n=10 sample selected
[tex]\bar x=317.2mA[/tex] sample mean for the sample tubes selected
[tex]s=15.7mA[/tex] sample deviation for the sample selected
Confidence = 99% or 0.99
[tex]\alpha=1-0.99=0.01[/tex] significance level
A confidence interval for the mean is used to "places boundaries around an estimated [tex]\bar X[/tex] so that the true population mean [tex]\mu[/tex] would be expected to lie within those boundaries with a confidence specified. If the uncertainty is large, then the interval between the boundaries must be wide; if the uncertainty is small, then the interval can be narrow"
2) Formula to use
For this case the sample size is <30 and the population standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is not known, so for this case we can use the t distributon to calculate the critical value. The first step would be calculate alpha
[tex]\alpha=1-0.99=0.01[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2=0.005[/tex], then we can calculate the degrees of freedom given by:
[tex]df=n-1=10-1=9[/tex]
Now we can calculate the critical value [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=3.25[/tex]
And then we can calculate the confidence interval with the following formula
[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
3) Calculate the interval
Using the formula (1) and replacing the values that we got we have:
[tex]317.2 - 3.25\frac{15.7}{\sqrt{10}}=301.064[/tex]
[tex]317.2 + 3.25\frac{15.7}{\sqrt{10}}=333.336[/tex]
So then the 99% confidence interval for the mean would be (301.064;333.336)mA
Interpretation: A point estimate for the true mean of brightness level for the tubes in the population is 317.2mA, and we are 99% confident that the true mean is between 301.064 mA and 333.336 mA.
Determine whether Rolle's Theorem can be applied to the function f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)^2 on the closed interval {-3, 2}. If Rolle's Theorem can be applied, find all numbers c in the open interval (-3,2) such that f'(c) = 0.
Rolle's Theorem applies, -(8/3)
Rolle's Theorem applies, -(4/5)
Rolle's Theorem applies, -(4/3)
Rolle's Theorem does not apply.
Answer:
Option C) Rolle's theorem applies
[tex]c = \displaystyle\frac{-4}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that:
[tex]f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)^2[/tex]
Closed interval: [-3,2]
Rolle's Theorem:
According to this theorem if the given function
continuous in [a,b]differentiable in (a,b)f(a) = f(b)the, there exist c in (a,b) such that
[tex]f'(c) = 0[/tex]
Continuity of function:
Since the given function is a continuous function, it is continuous everywhere. Therefore, f(x) is continuous in [-3,2]
Differentiability of function:
A polynomial function is differentiable For all arguments. Therefore, f(x) is differentiable in (-3,2)
Now, we evaluate f(-3) and f(2)
[tex]f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)^2\\f(-3) = (-3+3)(-3-2)^2 = 0\\f(2) - (2+3)(2-2)^2 = 0\\\Rightarrow f(-3) = f(2) = 0[/tex]
Thus, Rolle's theorem applies on the given function f(x).
According to Rolle's theorem there exist c in (a,b) such that f'(c) = 0
[tex]f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)^2\\f'(x) = (x-2)^2 + 2(x+3)(x-2) = 3x^2-2x-8\\f'(c) = 0\\f'(c) = 3c^2-2c-8 = 0\\\Rightarrow (c-2)(3c+4) = 0\\\Rightarrow c = 2, c = \displaystyle\frac{-4}{3}[/tex]
c should lie in (-3,2)
Thus,
[tex]c = \displaystyle\frac{-4}{3}[/tex]
Final answer:
Rolle's Theorem can be applied to the function f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)^2 on the closed interval {-3, 2}, and the number c in the open interval (-3, 2) where f'(c) = 0 is c = -4/3.
Explanation:
To determine whether Rolle's Theorem can be applied to the function f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)^2 on the closed interval {-3, 2}, we need to check if the function satisfies the three conditions for Rolle's Theorem:
f(x) is continuous on the closed interval [-3, 2].f(x) is differentiable on the open interval (-3, 2).f(-3) = f(2).First, note that the function f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)^2 is a polynomial function, and all polynomial functions are continuous and differentiable for all real numbers. Therefore, condition 1 is satisfied. Next, we find the derivative of f(x):
f'(x) = (2x-4)(x-2)+(x+3)(2(x-2)) = 4x^2 - 12x + 8 + 2x^2 - 2x - 12 = 6x^2 - 14x - 4.
To find the values of c in the open interval (-3, 2) where f'(c) = 0, we set f'(x) = 0:
6x^2 - 14x - 4 = 0.
We can solve this quadratic equation using factoring, the quadratic formula, or by completing the square. Solving the equation, we find the roots as x = -4/3 and x = 2/3. However, only the root x = -4/3 is in the interval (-3, 2). So, Rolle's Theorem can be applied, and the number c in the open interval (-3, 2) where f'(c) = 0 is c = -4/3.

For the solid S described, do the following:
(a) Sketch the base of S in the xy-plane.
(b) Sketch a three-dimensional picture of S with the xy-plane as the floor.
(c) Compute the volume of S.
1. The base of S is the region lying above the parabola y = x 2 and below the line y = 1 over the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. Cross-sections perpendicular to the x-axis are square
Answer:
(a) and (b) see pictures attached
(c) V = 16/35
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Sketch the base of S in the xy-plane.
See picture 1 attached
(b) Sketch a three-dimensional picture of S with the xy-plane as the floor.
See picture 2 attached
(c) Compute the volume of S.
The volume is given by the triple integral
[tex]\displaystyle\iiint_{S}zdzdydx[/tex]
The cross-sections perpendicular to the x-axis are squares so
[tex]z=1-x^2[/tex]
The region S is given by the following inequalities
[tex]0\leq x\leq 1\\\\x^2\leq y\leq 1\\\\0\leq z\leq 1-x^2[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]\displaystyle\iiint_{S}zdzdydx=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} \displaystyle\int_{x^2}^{1} \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1-x^2} (1-x^2)dzdydx=\\\\\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(1-x^2)(1-x^2)(1-x^2)dx=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(1-x^2)^3dx=\displaystyle\frac{16}{35}[/tex]
So the volume V of the solid S is
V=16/35
A manufacturer claims that the average ten- sile strength of thread A exceeds the average tensile strength of thread B by at least 12 kilograms. To test this claim, 50 pieces of each type of thread were tested under similar conditions. Type A thread had an aver- age tensile strength of 86.7 kilograms with a standard deviation of 6.28 kilograms, while type B thread had an average tensile strength of 77.8 kilograms with a standard deviation of 5.61 kilograms. Test the manufacturer’s claim using a 0.05 level of significance
The question asks for a hypothesis test comparing the average tensile strength of two types of threads. We formulate a null and an alternative hypothesis, calculate the test statistic, and finally determine the p-value. If the p-value is less than the significance level, we reject the null hypothesis.
Explanation:The subject of the question is about testing a manufacturer's claim about the average tensile strength of two different types of threads using statistical methods. We can test this claim using a hypothesis test for the difference between two means.
First, we set up our hypotheses. The null hypothesis (H0) could be that the average tensile strength of thread A is greater than or equal to the average tensile strength of thread B by 12kg. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) would be that the average tensile strength of thread A is not greater by at least 12kg.
The next step is to calculate the test statistic. This requires finding the difference between the two sample means, subtracting the hypothesized difference (12kg), and then dividing by the standard error of the difference. To find the standard error, we need to combine the standard deviations of the two samples.
Once we have the test statistic, we can find the p-value, which is the probability of observing a test statistic as extreme as the one calculated if the null hypothesis is true. If the p-value is less than the significance level (0.05 in this case), we reject the null hypothesis and support the manufacturer's claim.

We perform a hypothesis test comparing the mean tensile strength of thread A and B. We formulate our null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the pooled standard deviation, standard error, and test statistic. Based on the p-value compared to the significance level, we conclude whether the data supports the manufacturer's claim.
Explanation:To test the manufacturer's claim, we will perform a hypothesis test for the difference of means, which can be conducted since there are two independent samples: thread type A and thread type B. We set up our null and alternative hypotheses as follows:
First, we calculate the pooled standard deviation and the standard error. Then, we compute the test statistic (z-score) using this formula: z = (sample difference - hypothesized difference) / standard error. The sample difference is 86.7 - 77.8 = 8.9 kg, and we are hypothesizing a difference of 12 kg.
Next, we find our p-value by looking this z-score up in a standard normal distribution table, and compare it with our significance level (0.05). If the p-value is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis, thus supporting the manufacturer's claim. If the p-value is greater than 0.05, we do not reject the null hypothesis, indicating that the data does not provide strong evidence to support the manufacturer's claim that average tensile strength of thread A exceeds that of thread B by at least 12 kilograms.

After checking to ensure that the sample data follows the necessary condition for using the t-procedure, we use Minitab to get a 90% confidence interval to estimate mu. We find it to be (118.51 ounces, 124.29 ounces). What does this interval tell us?
Answer:
the 90% confidence interval to estimate mu = (118.51 ounces, 124.29 ounces) means that out of all the data 90% of the sample has the weight between the range 118.51 ounces and 124.29 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Confidence level = 90%
90% confidence interval to estimate mu = (118.51 ounces, 124.29 ounces)
Now,
The confidence level tells us that out of all the value of the sample the given percentage of confidence level lies within the calculated interval.
Here in the given question,
the 90% confidence interval to estimate mu = (118.51 ounces, 124.29 ounces) means that out of all the data 90% of the sample has the weight between the range 118.51 ounces and 124.29 ounces.
To test the claim (at 1% significance) that the proportion of voters who smoked cannabis frequently was lower among conservatives, the hypotheses were In the hypothesis test about cannabis use by conservatives and liberals, the P-value is extremely small. Which of the following errors is possible in this situation?
A. Type I only
B. Type II only
C. Type I and Type II
D. Neither Type I nor Type II
Answer:
A. TYPE 1 ERROR only
Step-by-step explanation:
In general terms:
‘a hypothesis has been rejected when it should have been accepted’. When this occurs, it is called a type I error, and,
‘a hypothesis has been accepted when it should have been rejected’.
When this occurs, it is called a type II error,
When testing a hypothesis, the largest value of probability which is acceptable for a type I error is called the level of significance of the test. The level of significance is indicated by the symbol α (alpha) and the levels commonly adopted are 0.1,0.05,0.01, 0.005 and 0.002.
A level of significance of 1%,say,0.01 means that 1 times in 100 the hypothesis has been rejected when it should have been accepted.
In significance tests, the following terminology is frequently adopted:
(i) if the level of significance is 0.01 or less, i.e. the confidence level is 9 9% or more, the results are considered to be highly significant, i.e. the results are considered likely to be correct,
(ii) if the level of significance is 0.05 or between 0.05and0.01,i.e.theconfidencelevelis95%or between 95% and 99%, the results are considered to be probably significant, i.e. the results are probably correct,
(iii) if the level of significance is greater than 0.05, i.e. the confidence level is less than 95%, the results are considered to be not significant, that is, there are doubts about the correctness of the results obtained.
In a Gallup telephone survey conducted on April 9-10, 2013, the person being interviewed was asked if they would vote for a law in their state that would increase the gas tax up to 20 cents a gallon, with the new gas tax money going to improve roads and bridges and build more mass transportation in their state. Possible responses were vote for, vote against, and no opinion. Two hundred ninety five respondents said they would vote for the law, 672 said they would vote against the law, and 51 said they had no opinion.
a. Do the responses for this question provide categorical or quantitative data?
b. What was the sample size for this Gallup poll?
c. What percentage of respondents would vote for a law increasing the gas tax?
d. Do the results indicate general support for or against increasing the gas tax to improve roads and bridges and build more mass transportation?
Answer:
a. categorical
b. 1018
c. 28.98%
d. Most voters interviewed are against the new tax
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
There was a poll made to know the voter opinion on a law that would increase the gas tax to 20 cents per gallon, this money is going to use for road and bridges improvement and build more mass transportation in the state.
Data:
295 support
672 against
51 no opinion
a. The study variable is "Opinion of the votes on the new gas tax" Categorized: "support; against; no opinion"
This is a categorical variable, that can take one number on a limited amount of possibles values, assigning each observation to a group of nominal categories based on a qualitative feature.
In this case, each voter is assigned to a category according to their opinion on the new tax.
b. To know the sample size you have to add the subtotals of each category:
n= 295 + 672 + 51 = 1018
c. To calculate the percentage of people supporting the new tax, you have to divide the subtotal by the total and multiply it by 100
[tex](\frac{295}{1018})*100[/tex] = 28.978% ≅ 28.98%
d. To answer this it's better to calculate the percentage of each category:
Support: 28.98%
Against: 66.01%
No opinion: 5.01%
Since the category "against" has the greater percentage, you can say that most voters interviewed are against the new gas tax

"How much do students pay, on average, for textbooks during the first semester in college? From a random sample of 400 students the mean cost was found to be $357.75 ,and the sample standard deviation was $37.89. Assuming that the population is normally distributed, find the margin of error of a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Compute the confidence interval and describe in words what it means."
Answer: The margin of error = 3.71, confidence interval = (354.04, 361.46) and it means that mean cost is lies within the confidence interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Sample size = 400
Mean = $357.75
Standard deviation = $37.89
At 95% confidence level, z = 1.96
We first find the margin of error.
Margin of error is given by
[tex]z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1.96\times \dfrac{37.89}{\sqrt{400}}\\\\=3.71[/tex]
95% confidence interval would be
[tex]\bar{x}\pm \text{margin of error}\\\\=357.75\pm 3.71\\\\=(357.75-3.71,357.75+3.71)\\\\=(354.04,361.46)[/tex]
Hence, the margin of error = 3.71, confidence interval = (354.04, 361.46) and it means that mean cost is lies within the confidence interval.
Final answer:
The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval of the population mean cost of textbooks is approximately $3.71, resulting in a confidence interval of ($354.04, $361.46). This indicates a 95% level of confidence that the true average cost of textbooks lies within this range.
Explanation:
To calculate the margin of error for the 95% confidence interval for the population mean, we use the formula for margin of error (ME): ME = z * (s/√n), where z is the z-score corresponding to the confidence level, s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the sample size. Given that the student sample size is 400, the sample mean cost is $357.75, and the sample standard deviation is $37.89, we first find the z-score for a 95% confidence level, which is approximately 1.96. We then compute the margin of error.
Margin of Error calculation:
ME = 1.96 * ($37.89/√400) = $1.96 * ($37.89/20) = $1.96 * 1.8945 ≈ $3.71
Now that we have the margin of error, we can calculate the 95% confidence interval for the population mean, which is the range where we expect the true population mean to lie. The confidence interval is: ($357.75 - ME, $357.75 + ME), or ($357.75 - $3.71, $357.75 + $3.71), giving us ($354.04, $361.46). This means that we are 95% confident that the true average cost of textbooks during the first semester in college is between $354.04 and $361.46.
An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 100100 engines and the mean pressure was 7.27.2 lbs/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 0.810.81. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 7.37.3 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.010.01 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
Answer:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 7.3[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu < 7.3[/tex]
[tex]z=\frac{7.2-7.3}{\frac{0.81}{\sqrt{100}}}=-1.235[/tex]
[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.235)=0.1084[/tex]
If we compare the p value and the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so then we can conclude that the mean pressure for the automobile engines is not significantly less than 7.3 at 1% of significance.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Data given and notation
[tex]\bar X=7.2[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]\sigma=0.81[/tex] represent the population standard deviation
[tex]n=100[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =7.3[/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)
2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean pressure is lower than the specificated value 7.3, the system of hypothesis are :
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 7.3[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu < 7.3[/tex]
Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a 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{\sigma}{\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{7.2-7.3}{\frac{0.81}{\sqrt{100}}}=-1.235[/tex]
4) P-value
Since is a one-side lower test the p value would given by:
[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.235)=0.1084[/tex]
5) Conclusion
If we compare the p value and the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the mean pressure for the automobile engines is not significantly less than 7.3 at 1% of significance.
use the general slicing method to find the volume of The solid whose base is the triangle with vertices (0 comma 0 ), (15 comma 0 ), and (0 comma 15 )and whose cross sections perpendicular to the base and parallel to the y-axis are semicircles
Final answer:
The volume of the solid with a triangular base and semicircular cross sections is found by integrating the area of the semicircles along the height of the triangle. This approach involves calculating the area of semicircles using their radius which changes with y, and then integrating from 0 to 15 along the y-axis. The total volume is (56.25)π cubic units.
Explanation:
To find the volume of the solid with a triangular base and semicircular cross sections perpendicular to the base and parallel to the y-axis, we use the general slicing method. The base of the solid is a triangle with vertices at (0,0), (15,0), and (0,15), implying that it is a right-angled isosceles triangle on the xy-plane. The length of the legs are both 15 units.
For a slice at a particular y-value, the length of the base of the semicircle (which is also the diameter) is equal to the x-value at that y (since the triangle's equation is x + y = 15, x = 15 - y). The radius of the semicircle is thus ½(15 - y). The area of a semicircle is given by ½[tex]πr^{2}[/tex], substituting the expression for the radius we get ½π(½(15 - y))2.
To find the volume, we integrate this area from y = 0 to y = 15 along the y-axis. The integral of ½π(½(15 - y))2 dy from 0 to 15 is ½π × ½2 × ∫015 (15 - y)2 dy, which simplifies to ∑ volume = ⅔π(152) (⅓) = ½π(225)(⅓) = (56.25)π cubic units.
The fox population in a certain region has a continuous growth rate of 4 percent per year. It is estimated that the population in the year 2000 was 27500.
Answer:

over the time
Step-by-step explanation:
Question:
The fox population in a certain region has a continuous growth rate of 4 percent per year. It is estimated that the population in the year 2000 was 23700.
(a) Find a function that models the population (t) years after 2000 ( t=0 for 2000).
(b) Use the function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2008.
Answer:
A: P(t)=23700e^(.04t)
B: ≈32638
Step-by-step explanation:
A: The formula A=Pe^(rt) can be used. Initial value of 23700, e is the exponential constant, the rate is 4% which can be seen as 4/100, and t=time
B: Use the equation you created and substitute 8 for t since the years of difference between 2008-2000 is 8 years
23700e^(.04(8)) ≈ 32637.9280148
Rounded to the nearest fox is ≈32638
For the function below, find a formula for the upper sum obtained by dividing the interval [a comma b ][a,b] into n equal subintervals. Then take a limit of these sums as n right arrow infinityn → [infinity] to calculate the area under the curve over [a comma b ][a,b]. f (x )equals x squared plus 3f(x)=x2+3 over the interval [0 comma 4 ]
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
We start by dividing the interval [0,4] into n sub-intervals of length 4/n
[tex][0,\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}],[\displaystyle\frac{4}{n},\displaystyle\frac{2*4}{n}],[\displaystyle\frac{2*4}{n},\displaystyle\frac{3*4}{n}],...,[\displaystyle\frac{(n-1)*4}{n},4][/tex]
Since f is increasing in the interval [0,4], the upper sum is obtained by evaluating f at the right end of each sub-interval multiplied by 4/n.
Geometrically, these are the areas of the rectangles whose height is f evaluated at the right end of the interval and base 4/n (see picture)
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}f(\displaystyle\frac{1*4}{n})+\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}f(\displaystyle\frac{2*4}{n})+...+\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}f(\displaystyle\frac{n*4}{n})=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}((\displaystyle\frac{1*4}{n})^2+3+(\displaystyle\frac{2*4}{n})^2+3+...+(\displaystyle\frac{n*4}{n})^2+3)=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}((1^2+2^2+...+n^2)\displaystyle\frac{4^2}{n^2}+3n)=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{4^3}{n^3}(1^2+2^2+...+n^2)+12[/tex]
but
[tex]1^2+2^2+...+n^2=\displaystyle\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}[/tex]
so the upper sum equals
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{4^3}{n^3}(1^2+2^2+...+n^2)+12=\displaystyle\frac{4^3}{n^3}\displaystyle\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}+12=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{4^3}{6}(2+\displaystyle\frac{3}{n}+\displaystyle\frac{1}{n^2})+12[/tex]
When [tex]n\rightarrow \infty[/tex] both [tex]\displaystyle\frac{3}{n}[/tex] and [tex]\displaystyle\frac{1}{n^2}[/tex] tend to zero and the upper sum tends to
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{4^3}{3}+12=\displaystyle\frac{100}{3}[/tex]
Carleton Chemical claims that they can produce an average of more than 800 tons of meladone
per week. A random sample of 36 weeks of production yielded a sample mean of 823 tons, with
a standard deviation of 79.8 tons.
Does the sample data provide sufficient evidence to support the claim
made by Carleton Chemical? Use a significance level of α = .05.
Answer:
t=1.729
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(35)}>1.729)=0.0463[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Data given and notation
[tex]\bar X=823[/tex] represent the mean production for the sample
[tex]s=79.8[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for the sample
[tex]n=36[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =800[/tex] represent the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
Part a: State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean production is higher than 800 tons, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 800[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 800[/tex]
If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a 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".
Part b: Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
[tex]t=\frac{823-800}{\frac{79.8}{\sqrt{36}}}=1.729[/tex]
Part c: P-value
The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:
[tex]df=n-1=36-1=35[/tex]
Since is a one side test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(35)}>1.729)=0.0463[/tex]
Part d: Conclusion
If we compare the p value and 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, so we can conclude that the production its significant higher compared to the value of 800 tons at 5% of signficance.
An inspection procedure at a manufacturing plant involves picking three items at random and then accepting the whole lot if AT LEAST 2 of the three items are in perfect condition. If in reality 84% of the whole lot are perfect, what is the probability that the lot will be accepted?
Answer:
We use the Binomial Distribution where p =.84 then probability will be 0.931.
Step-by-step explanation:
P(X≥ 2) = P(X=2) + P (X=3)
= (³₂)(.84)^2(.16) + (³3)(.84)^3(.16)⁰
≅ 0.931
Hence 0.931 is the answer.
The probability that at least two out of three items chosen randomly are in perfect condition, given that the chance for a randomly chosen item being perfect is 84%, is 97% or 0.97 in decimal form.
Explanation:This is a question about the probability that we call binomial probability. Here we have to find the probability that at least two out of three randomly chosen items are in perfect condition while the likelihood of a random item being in perfect condition is 84%.
There are two scenarios in which the lot will be accepted: (1) exactly two of the products are perfect, and (2) all three products are perfect.
1. Two products are perfect (using binomial probability formula):
Prob(Two perfect) = 3C2 * (0.84)^2 * (1-0.84)^1 = 0.38
2. All three are perfect:
Prob(Three perfect) = 3C3 * (0.84)^3 * (1 - 0.84)^0 = 0.59
Thus, adding these probabilities gives the total probability that either two or three products are in good condition, which would result in the lot being accepted:
Total Probability = 0.38 + 0.59 = 0.97 or 97%

February 12, 2009 marked the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. To celebrate, Gallup, a national polling organization, surveyed 1,018 randomly selected American adults about their education level and their beliefs about the theory of evolution. In their sample, 325 of their respondents had some college education and 228 were college graduates. Among the 325 respondents with some college education, 133 said that they believed in the theory of evolution. Among the 228 respondents who were college graduates, 121 said that they believed in the theory of evolution.
We want to test, at the 10% level, if there is evidence that the proportion of college graduates that believe in evolution differs significantly from the proportion of individuals with some college education that believe in evolution. Assume that the Pooled proportion (for standard error): = 0.459.
What is the z test statistic for this hypothesis test?
To test if the proportion of college graduates who believe in evolution differs significantly from the proportion of individuals with some college education, we can use the z-test statistic.
Explanation:To test if there is evidence that the proportion of college graduates who believe in evolution differs significantly from the proportion of individuals with some college education who believe in evolution, we can use the z-test statistic. The formula for the z-test statistic is z = (p1 - p2) / sqrt(pq((1/n1) + (1/n2))), where p1 and p2 are the proportions of college graduates and individuals with some college education who believe in evolution, n1 and n2 are the respective sample sizes, and q = 1 - p. Plugging in the given values, we have z = (0.459- 133/325 - 121/228) / sqrt(0.459 * (1-0.459) * ((1/325) + (1/228))). Calculating this expression will give us the z-test statistic.

a bridge is 38 feet above a river. how many seconds does it take a rock dropped from the bridge to pass by a tree limb that is 10 feet above the water?
The rock does not pass by the tree limb.
Explanation:To calculate the time it takes for the rock to pass by the tree limb, we can use the concept of free fall motion. The rock undergoes free fall motion from a height of 38 feet until it reaches a height of 10 feet. We can use the equation for free fall motion, h = ut + (1/2)gt^2, where h is the height, u is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time.
Plugging in the values, we have:
38 = 0 - (1/2)(9.8)t^2
Simplifying the equation, we get:
9.8t^2 = -38
t^2 = -38/9.8
t = sqrt(-38/9.8)
Since we cannot take the square root of a negative number, it means that the rock never reaches a height of 10 feet. Therefore, the rock does not pass by the tree limb.

Assume that you have two dice, one of which is fair, and the other is biased toward landing on six, so that 0.25 of the time it lands on six, and 0.15 of the time it lands on each of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. You choose a die at random, and roll it six times, getting the values 4, 3, 6, 6, 5, 5. What is the probability that the die you chose is the fair die? The outcomes of the rolls are mutually independent.
Answer:
0.4038
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A and B be the events
A: “The die is fair”
B: “The die lands on 6 two times out of 6”
We want to determine if the die is fair given that it landed on 6 two times out of 6 tosses, that is P(A | B).
By the Bayes' theorem
[tex]\large P(A|B)=\displaystyle\frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B|A)P(A)+P(B|A^c)P(A^c)}[/tex]
Where [tex]\large A^c[/tex] is the event “the die is not fair”.
Since there are 2 dice,
[tex]\large P(A)=P(A^c)=1/2[/tex]
If the die is fair P(B | A) is the probability of getting exactly two six in a binomial experiment with probability of “success” (land on 6) 1/6 and six repeated trials
[tex]\large P(B|A)=\binom{6}{2}(1/6)^2(5/6)^4=0.2009[/tex]
and [tex]\large P(B|A^c)[/tex] is the probability of getting exactly two six in a binomial experiment with probability of “success” (land on 6) 0.25 and six repeated trials
[tex]\large P(B|A^c)=\binom{6}{2}(0.25)^2(0.75)^4=0.2966[/tex]
hence
[tex]\large P(A|B)=\displaystyle\frac{0.2009*0.5}{0.2009*0.5+0.2966*0.5}=0.4038[/tex]
To find the probability that the chosen die is fair after rolling 4, 3, 6, 6, 5, 5, we use Bayes' theorem and consider the probability of obtaining this sequence with both a fair die and a biased die. We incorporate the prior probability of choosing any die, which is equal, and compute the probability by dividing the product of the probability for the fair die and its prior probability by the sum of both scenarios' probabilities.
We are asked to determine the probability that the die chosen is the fair die after rolling it six times to obtain the values 4, 3, 6, 6, 5, 5. This problem serves as an application of Bayes' theorem and involves calculating the likelihood of obtaining the observed sequence of rolls under two hypotheses: the die is fair, and the die is biased.
For the fair die, the probability of rolling 4, 3, 6, 6, 5, or 5 is
(1/6) for each, as outcomes are equally likely. Therefore, the probability of rolling 4, 3, 6, 6, 5, 5 with the fair die is (1/6)^6.
Conversely, for the biased die, the probabilities are different. It is 0.15 for rolling 4 or 3 and 0.25 for rolling a 6, while it remains 0.15 for a 5. Thus, the probability of rolling 4, 3, 6, 6, 5, 5 with the biased die is (0.15)^2 * (0.25)^2 * (0.15)^2.
By applying Bayes' theorem, we can update our beliefs about whether the fair die was chosen based on the evidence provided by the rolls. The calculation requires the prior probabilities of choosing each die (which is 1/2 since the die is chosen at random) and the likelihood of the observed sequence under each die. The final probability is a fraction with the numerator being the product of the likelihood of the sequence for the fair die and the prior probability of the fair die, and the denominator is the sum of the probabilities for both scenarios (fair and biased dice).

A physical therapist wants to determine the difference in the proportion of men and women who participate in regular sustained physical activity. What sample size should be obtained if he wishes the estimate to be within two percentage points with 90% confidence, assuming that
(a) he uses the estimates of 21.6% male and 19.2% female from a previous year?
(b) he does not use any prior estimates?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard normal distribution represents a normal curve with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Thus, the parameters involved in a normal distribution are mean(μ) and standard deviation(σ)
The general formula for the sample size is given below:
[tex]n=p^{'}(1-p^{'})(\frac{Z_{\frac{a}{3} } }{E} )^{2}[/tex]
The formular for finding sample size is given as:
[tex]n=(\frac{Z_{\frac{a}{3} } }{E} )^{2} * (p_{1}(1-p_{1})+p_{2}(1-p_{2}))[/tex]
a.)
it is given that [tex]E=±0.02, p^{'}_{1}=0.216, p^{'}_{2}=0.192[/tex]
The confidence level is 0.90
For (1 - ∝) = 0.90
∝=0.10; ∝/2 = 0.05
frm the standard normal table, the required [tex]Z_{0.05}[/tex] value for 90% confidence is 1.645. The sample size is as shown:
[tex]n=(\frac{Z_{\frac{a}{3} } }{E} )^{2} * (p_{1}(1-p_{1})+p_{2}(1-p_{2}))[/tex]
=[tex]n=(\frac{1.645}{0.05} )^{2} * (0.216(1-0.216)+0.192(1-0.192))\\=351.22≅352[/tex]
The required sample size is 352 (nearest whole number)
b.)
it is given that [tex]E=±0.02, p^{'}_{1}=0.5, p^{'}_{2}=0.5[/tex]
The confidence level is 0.90
For (1 - ∝) = 0.90
∝=0.10; ∝/2 = 0.05
frm the standard normal table, the required [tex]Z_{0.05}[/tex] value for 90% confidence is 1.645. The sample size is as shown:
[tex]n=(\frac{Z_{\frac{a}{3} } }{E} )^{2} * (p_{1}(1-p_{1})+p_{2}(1-p_{2}))[/tex]
=[tex]n=(\frac{1.645}{0.05} )^{2} * (0.5(1-0.5)+0.5(1-0.5))\\=541.205≅542[/tex]
The required sample size is 542 (nearest whole number)
Using the estimates from a previous year (21.6% male and 19.2% female), a sample size of 811 should be obtained. If no prior estimates are used, a sample size of 848 is needed.
Explanation:To determine the sample size needed for estimating the difference in the proportion of men and women who participate in regular sustained physical activity, we can use the formula:
[tex]n = (Z^2 * p * (1-p)) / E^2[/tex]
Where:
n is the required sample sizeZ is the Z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level (90%)p is the estimated proportion in the population (either the estimates from a previous year or a hypothesized value)E is the desired margin of error (two percentage points)(a) If the therapist uses the estimates of 21.6% male and 19.2% female from a previous year, we can assume that the sample proportion for both genders is the same (20.4%).
Plugging in the values:
[tex]n = ((1.645^2) * 0.204 * (1-0.204)) / (0.02^2)[/tex]
= 810.611
Therefore, a sample size of 811 should be obtained.
(b) If the therapist does not use any prior estimates, we can assume that the sample proportion for both genders is 0.5 (maximum variability).
Plugging in the values:
[tex]n = ((1.645^2) * 0.5 * (1-0.5)) / (0.02^2)[/tex]

Therefore, a sample size of 848 should be obtained.
A tree is planted at a point O on horizontal ground. Two points A and B on the ground are 100 feet apart. The angles of elevation of the top of the tree T from the points A and B are 45◦ and 30◦ respectively. The measure of ∠AOB is 60◦ . Find the height of the tree
Final answer:
The height of the tree is determined by the angles of elevation and the distance between points A and B on the ground. Given the 45° and 30° angles of elevation and knowing that the horizontal distance AB is 100 feet, we can infer that the tree height is also 100 feet.
Explanation:
To solve for the height of the tree, we can use the trigonometric properties of right triangles and the given angles of elevation. Since the angles of elevation from points A and B to the top of the tree T are 45° and 30° respectively, and the horizontal distance between A and B is 100 feet, we know that we have two separate right triangles with angle T being the top of the tree and O being the base of the tree. We also have an angle of 60° for ∠AOB which will help us determine the distances OA and OB.
Using the 45° angle from point A, we have a 45°-45°-90° triangle, which means the height of the tree (OT) is equal to OA, the distance from the base of the tree to point A. From point B with a 30° angle, we have a 30°-60°-90° triangle. In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the height (OT) would be √3 times smaller than the distance OB (the longer side).
Since ∠AOB is 60° we know that triangle AOB is equilateral. Therefore, distances OA and OB are both 100 feet. Now we just need to calculate the height OT in one of the triangles. Taking the 45° triangle, we have OT = OA = 100 feet. Thus, the height of the tree T is 100 feet.
Final answer:
The height of the tree can be determined by using right triangle trigonometry involving the angles of elevation from two points on the ground and the known distance between them. Mathematically, the height of the tree is found to be approximately 28.87 feet.
Explanation:
To determine the height of the tree, we use the provided angles of elevation from points A and B and the distance between these points. The tree, points A and B, and the angles form two right triangles, one with a 45° angle of elevation and the other with a 30° angle of elevation. Since the angle of elevation from point A is 45°, we know that for a 45° right-angled triangle, the tangent is 1, which means that the opposite side (height of the tree) is equal to the adjacent side (distance from A to O).
First, we can calculate the distance from A to O using the angle of 60° between points A and O given as ∠AOB. The distance AO is half of AB because ∠AOB is an equilateral triangle's angle so AO = 50 feet. Next, using the fact that the tan 30° from point B is equal to the height of the tree divided by the distance from B to O, we can calculate the height. Since the distance from A to O is 50 feet, the distance from B to O is also 50 feet. The tangent of 30° is 1/√3, so the tree's height (H) is equal to 50 feet times tan 30°, which is approximately 28.87 feet.
In a health club, research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 42.5 minutes on the treadmill, with a standard deviation of 5.4 minutes. It is assumed that this is a normally distributed variable.
Find the probability that randomly selected individual would spent between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill.
a)0.38
b)0.69
c)0.99
d)0.31
Answer: d) 0.31
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : In a health club, research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 42.5 minutes on the treadmill, with a standard deviation of 5.4 minutes.
i.e. [tex]\mu=42.5[/tex] and [tex]\sigma= 5.4[/tex]
It is assumed that this is a normally distributed variable.
Let x denotes the time spend by a person on treadmill.
Then, the probability that randomly selected individual would spent between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill.
[tex]P(30<x<40)=P(\dfrac{30-42.5}{5.4}<\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{40-42.5}{5.4})\\\\\approxP(-2.31<z<0.46)\\\\=P(z<-0.46)-P(z<-2.31)\ \ [\because\ P(z_1<z<z_2)=P(z<z_2)-P(z<z_1)]\\\\=1-P(z<0.46)-(1-P(z\leq2.31))\ \ [\because P(Z>z)=1-P(Z\leq z)]\\\\=1-0.6772419-(1-0.9895559)\ \ \text{[By using z-table or calculator]}\\\\=0.3227581-0.0104441=0.312314\approx0.31[/tex]
Hence, the required probability = 0.31
Thus , the correct answer = d) 0.31
