During a recent drought, a water utility in a certain town sampled 100 residential water bills and found out that 73 of the residences had reduced their water consumption over that of the previous year. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of residences that reduced their water

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(0.6430, 0.8170)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that during a recent drought a water utility in a certain town sampled 100 residential water bills and found out that 73 of the residences had reduced their water consumption over that of the previous year.

Sample size n = 100

Sample proportion p = [tex]\frac{73}{100} =0.73[/tex]

q = 1-p = 0.23

Std error of proportion = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } \\=\sqrt{\frac{0.73*0.27}{100} } \\=0.04440[/tex]

95% Z critical value = 1.96

Margin of error = [tex]1.96*0.0444 = 0.0870[/tex]

Confidence interval = sample proportion ±margin of error

0.642983946

0.817016054

(0.6430, 0.8170)

Answer 2

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of residences that reduced their water is (0.6430, 0.8170).

What is Confidence interval?

This is used to determine the measure of how much uncertainty there is with any particular statistic.

Sample size (n) = 100

Sample proportion(p) = 73/100 = 0.73

q = 1-p = 0.23

√pq/n = √0.73×0.27/100 = 0.04440

95% Z critical value = 1.96

Margin of error = 1.96×0.04440 = 0.0870

Confidence interval = sample proportion ± margin of error

= (0.6430, 0.8170)

A garden hose having an internal diameter of 0.740 in. ( 1.8796 cm ) is connected to a lawn sprinkler that consists merely of an enclosure with 36 holes, each 0.055 in. ( 0.1397 cm ) in diameter. If the water in the hose has a speed of 4.00 ft/s ( 121.920 cm/s ), at what speed does it leave the sprinkler holes?

Answers

Answer:

It will leave the sprinkler at speed of [tex]v_2=613.87m/sec[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given internal diameter of the garden hose [tex]d_1=0.740in=1.8796cm[/tex]

So radius [tex]r_1=\frac{d_1}{2}=\frac{1.8796}{2}=0.9398cm[/tex]

So area [tex]A_1=\pi r_1^2=3.14\times 0.9398^2=2.7733cm^2[/tex]

Water in the hose has a speed of 4 ft/sec

So [tex]v_1=4ft/sec=121.92cm/sec(As\ 1ft/sec\ =30.48cm/sec)[/tex]

Number of holes n = 36

Diameter of each hole [tex]d_2=0.1397cm[/tex]

So radius [tex]r_2=0.0698cm[/tex]

So area [tex]A_2=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.0698^2=0.0153cm^2[/tex]

From continuity equation

[tex]A_1v_1=nA_2v_2[/tex]

[tex]2.7733\times 121.92=36\times 0.0153\times v_2[/tex]

Graph of 1/sinx.

When x=0, the function goes to infinity and the function is even.

Is it correct to say that since it is periodic, the graph of 1/sinx will be the copy of the function, but in the other direction? Is it correct for all periodic functions?

Answers

Answer:

nono

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached for a graph of 1/sin(x) = csc(x). Just as sin(x) is an odd function, so is 1/sin(x).

Any odd function is symmetrical about the origin, so the left side of the graph is a copy of the right side, rotated 180° about the origin ("in the  other direction"). That is, csc(x) = -csc(-x). This is true because the function is odd, not because it is periodic.

__

Csc(x) is also a periodic function with a period of 2π. That means ...

  csc(x+2π) ≡ csc(x)

This sort of replication of the function is true for all periodic functions (where the added value, the horizontal translation, is the period of the function).

__

You will note that the relation applicable to an odd function (-f(-x) = f(x)) is different from the relation applicable to a periodic function (f(x) = f(x+period)). An odd periodic function, such as csc(x), will be described by both relations.

Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean winnings for all players on Jeopardy.$26,650 $6,060 $52,820 $8,490 $13,660$25,840 $49,840 $23,790 $51,480 $18,960$990 $11,450 $41,810 $21,060 $7,860

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (14444.04;33657.30)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Data: $26,650 $6,060 $52,820 $8,490 $13,660$25,840 $49,840 $23,790 $51,480 $18,960$990 $11,450 $41,810 $21,060 $7,860

We can calculate the mean and the deviation from these data with the following formulas:

[tex]\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}[/tex]

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

[tex]\bar X=24050.67[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample  

[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)

s=17386.13 represent the sample standard deviation

n=15 represent the sample size  

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

[tex]df=n-1=15-1=14[/tex]

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,14)".And we see that [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=2.14[/tex]

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

[tex]24050.67-2.14\frac{17386.13}{\sqrt{15}}=14444.04[/tex]    

[tex]24050.67+2.14\frac{17386.13}{\sqrt{15}}=33657.30[/tex]

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (14444.04;33657.30)    

sample of 60 account balances of a credit company showed an average balance of $1,165 and a standard deviation of $125. You want to determine if the mean of all account balances is significantly greater than $1,150. Assume the population of account balances is normally distributed. Compute the p-value for this test.

Answers

Answer:

z=0.930

[tex]p_v =P(z>0.930)=1-P(z<0.930)=1-0.824=0.176[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation    

[tex]\bar X=1165[/tex] represent the mean for the account balances of a credit company

[tex]s=125[/tex] represent the population standard deviation for the sample    

[tex]n=60[/tex] sample size    

[tex]\mu_o =1150[/tex] represent the value that we want to test  

[tex]\alpha[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean for account balances of a credit company is greater than 1150, the system of hypothesis would be:    

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 1150[/tex]    

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 1150[/tex]    

We don't know the population deviation, but the problem says the the distribution for the random variable is normal, so for this case we can use the z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:    

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

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

3) Calculate the statistic    

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

[tex]z=\frac{1165-1150}{\frac{125}{\sqrt{60}}}=0.930[/tex]    

4) Calculate the P-value    

Since is a one-side upper test the p value would be:    

[tex]p_v =P(z>0.930)=1-P(z<0.930)=1-0.824=0.176[/tex]

In Excel we can use the following formula to find the p value "=1-NORM.DIST(0.93,0,1,TRUE)"  

5) Conclusion    

If we compare the p value with a significance level for example [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so there is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean for the balances of a credit company are significantly higher than $1150 at 0.05 of signficance.    

​$4000 is deposited in an account that pays an APR of 8.4​% compounded annually. How long will it take for the balance to reach ​$120,000​?

Answers

Answer: number of years that it will take for the balance to reach ​$120,000 is 42 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount deposited into the account is $4000. This means that the principal is $4000

P = 4000

It was compounded annually. This means that it was compounded once in a year. So

n = 1

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 8.4%. So

r = 8.4/100 = 0.084

Let the number of years that it will take for the balance to reach ​$120,000. It means that it was compounded for a total of t years.

Amount, A at the end of t years is $120,000

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

120000 = 4000(1 + 0.084/1)^1×t

120000/4000 = 1.084^t

30 = 1.084^t

t = 42 years

Consider Rosenbrock’s Function f(x, y) = (1 − x) 2 + 100(y − x 2 ) 2 .

a) Using ad-hoc/elementary reasoning, identify a global min and argue that this min is unique.

b) Confirm that this function is not convex using a characterization of convexity (as opposed to the definition of convexity). Hint: Consider the point x y = −.1 .3 .

Answers

Answer:

See steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

The function  

[tex]\large f(x,y)=(1-x)^2+100(y-x^2)^2[/tex]

is a particular case of the general Rosenbrock’s Function.

a)  

Since  

[tex]\large ((1-x)^2\geq 0[/tex] for all the values of x and equals 0 when x=1 and

[tex]\large (y-x^2)^2=(y-1)^2\geq 0[/tex] for all the values of y and equals 0 only when y=1, we conclude that (1,1) is a minimum.

On the other hand,

f(x,y)>0 for (x,y) ≠ (1,1) so (1,1) is a global minimum.

b)

To confirm that this function is not convex, we will be using the following characterization of convexity

“f is convex if, and only if, the Laplace operator of f [tex]\large \nabla^2f \geq 0[/tex] for every (x,y) in the domain of f”

Given that the domain of f is the whole plane XY, in order to prove that f is not convex, we must find a point (x,y) at where the Laplace operator is < 0.

The Laplace operator is given by

[tex]\large \nabla^2f=\displaystyle\frac{\partial ^2f}{\partial x^2}+\displaystyle\frac{\partial ^2f}{\partial y^2}[/tex]

Let us compute the partial derivatives

[tex]\large \displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=-2(1-x)+200(y-x^2)(-2x)=-2+2x-400xy+400x^3\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}=2-400y+1200x^2[/tex]

and

[tex]\large \displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}=200(y-x^2)=200y-200x^2\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}=200[/tex]

we have then

[tex]\large \nabla^2 f=2-400y+1200x^2+200[/tex]

if we take (x,y) = (0,1)

[tex]\large \nabla^2 f(0,1)=2-400+200=202-400=-198<0[/tex]

hence f is not convex.

While researching lifestyle changes to improve heart health, you come across a research article reporting that the average American consumes about 2,700 calories per day (μ = 2,700).
You come across another article that refutes this, stating that a sample of Americans consumed significantly less than this mean standard on average, t(50) = 2.965, p < 0.05 (η2 = 0.15).
Assuming this test was a one-independent sample t-test, answer the following questions.
(a) Is this a significant effect? Yes, the effect is significant. No, the effect is not significant.
(b) What is the proportion of variance for this effect? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

(a) Yes effect is significant.

(b) 0.15 or 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Most conventional significance level is 0.05 and a p value less 0.05 indicated that test hypothesis is false and should be rejected. Given in statement that 'p < 0.05'Eta-squared (η^{2})  is the measure of proportion of variance which 0.18 given in the statement.
Final answer:

The difference in calorie consumption is significantly different from the mean, as indicated by a p value less than 0.05. The proportion of variance, or the size of the effect, is 0.15 or 15%.

Explanation:

For question (a), the effect is indeed significant. This is determined by the 'p' value which is less than 0.05. This shows that the difference between the sample and the mean calories consumed by the average American is statistically significant.

For question (b), the proportion of variance, denoted by η2, is used to measure the size of the effect independent of the sample size. It is the proportion of total variance in the dependent variable that is associated with the membership of different groups formed by the independent variable. η2 in this case is 0.15, which means 15% of the total variation in calorie consumption can be explained by the effect. Hence, the proportion of variance for this effect rounded to two decimal places is 0.15 or 15%.

Final answer:

Finding the area under the standard normal curve to the left of specific Z-scores involves looking up these Z-values in a Z-table or inputting them into an appropriate calculator. The Z-scores in question range from -1.45 to 1.48 and the related cumulative probabilities represent the area under the curve.

Explanation:

The question relates to finding the area under the standard normal curve, commonly referred to in statistics as Z-scores. These standardized scores indicate how many standard deviations away from the mean a particular point or score is located.

(a) Z equals negative 1.45, meaning it lies 1.45 standard deviations below the mean. When looking up this value in a standard Z-table (or using a calculator), you will find the associated cumulative probability (the area to the left under the curve).

The same process applies to (b) Z equals 0.63 (lies 0.63 standard deviations above the mean), (c) Z equals 1.48 (1.48 standard deviations above the mean) and (d) Z equals negative 1.37 (1.37 standard deviations below the mean). The exact cumulative probabilities vary with each Z-score and these represent the area under the curve to the left of each point.

One year later, there were 84 wolves in the state which is 23 fewer than the number of wolves in the state a year earlier. This means that a year later, the number of wolves was 23 fewer than w

The number of wolves in the state on January 1 would be the sum of the number of wolves in the state a year later and the number by which it became fewer than the number on January 1. This becomes

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. Let line x represent the original line and let line y represent the line that is perpendicular to line x

A conditional statement is an if - then statement. It is connected by a hypothesis statement and a conclusion statement. The hypothesis statement is "if the slope of line x is 2/3 and the slope of line y is -3/2 which is its negative reciprocal

The conclusion statement is " then, line x is perpendicular to line y

If two objects travel through space along two different curves, it's often important to know whether they will collide. (Will a missile hit its moving target? Will two aircraft collide?)

Answers

Answer:

The particles collide when t = 7 at the point (49, 49, 49).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the trajectories of the two particles,

[tex]r_1(t)=\langle t^2,16t-63,t^2\rangle\\r_2(t)=\langle 9t-14,t^2,13t-42\rangle[/tex]

To find if the tow particles collide you must:

Equate the x-components for each particle and solve for t

[tex]t^2=9t-14\\t^2-9t+14=0\\\left(t^2-2t\right)+\left(-7t+14\right)=0\\t\left(t-2\right)-7\left(t-2\right)=0\\\left(t-2\right)\left(t-7\right)=0[/tex]

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

[tex]t=2,\:t=7[/tex]

Equate the y-components for each particle and solve for t

[tex]16t-63=t^2\\^2-16t+63=0\\\left(t^2-7t\right)+\left(-9t+63\right)=0\\t\left(t-7\right)-9\left(t-7\right)=0\\\left(t-7\right)\left(t-9\right)=0[/tex]

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

[tex]t=7,\:t=9[/tex]

Equate the z-components for each particle and solve for t

[tex]t^2=13t-42\\t^2-13t+42=0\\\left(t^2-6t\right)+\left(-7t+42\right)=0\\t\left(t-6\right)-7\left(t-6\right)=0\\\left(t-6\right)\left(t-7\right)=0[/tex]

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

[tex]t=6,\:t=7[/tex]

Evaluate the position vectors at the common time. The common solution is when t = 7.

[tex]r_1(7)=\langle 7^2,16(7)-63,7^2\rangle=\langle 49,49,49\rangle\\\\r_2(7)=\langle 9(7)-14,7^2,13(7)-42\rangle=\langle 49,49,49\rangle[/tex]

For two particles to collide, they must be at exactly the same coordinates at exactly the same time.

Answers

Answer:

z=1.461, fail to reject the null hypothesis since [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] at 5% of singificance.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=53 represent the random sample taken

X=41 represent the adults with damage liability claims by single people under the age of 25.

[tex]\hat p=\frac{41}{53}=0.774[/tex] estimated proportion of adults with damage liability claims by single people under the age of 25.

[tex]p_o=0.68[/tex] is the value that we want to test

[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test that the insurance claims of single people under the age of 25 is higher than the national percent reported by the large insurance company (68%).:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p\leq 0.68[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p > 0.68[/tex]  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is significantly different from a hypothesized value [tex]p_o[/tex].

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

[tex]z=\frac{0.774 -0.68}{\sqrt{\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{53}}}=1.461[/tex]

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex]. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a unilateral right tailed test the p value would be:  

[tex]p_v =P(z>1.461)=0.072[/tex]  

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we have [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults with damage liability claims by single people under the age of 25 is not significantly higher from 0.68 or 68% .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We​ don't know f (x) but we do know that x = 1 is a critical number of f' (x) and we know f" (x)=12x. Use this information to decide if​ f(x) has a relative minimum or maximum at x=1.

Answers

Answer:

relative minimum

Step-by-step explanation:

From f^''(x) = 12x we can take the integration to find out what f'(x) is:

[tex]f'(x) = 6x^2 + C[/tex]

Furthermore, we can substitute x = 1 for f''(x) to find out whether it's positive or negative

f''(1) = 12*1 = 12 > 0

So if x=1 is a critical point of f'(x) and f''(x=1) > 0 then that point is a relative minimum point  

Final answer:

Using the second derivative test with the given information f"(x)=12x, it's concluded that f(x) has a relative minimum at x=1, as f"(1) is positive.

Explanation:

To determine if f(x) has a relative minimum or maximum at x=1, we can use the given information that f"(x)=12x and that x=1 is a critical number of f'(x). Since the second derivative, f"(x), is 12x, at x = 1, it is positive (f"(1)=12(1)=12). According to the second derivative test, a positive second derivative at a critical point indicates that the function has a relative minimum at that point. Therefore, we can conclude that f(x) has a relative minimum at x=1.

Some experts believe that 24​% of all freshwater fish in a country have such high levels of mercury that they are dangerous to eat. Suppose a fish market has 350 fish​ tested, and 80 of them have dangerous levels of mercury. Test the hypothesis that this sample is not from a population with 24​% dangerous​ fish, assuming that this is a random sample. Use a significance level of 0.05. State the null and alternative hypothesis, determine the z-test statistic, find the p-value, does the conclusion support or reject the null.

Answers

Final answer:

To assess if the sample of fish with high mercury levels supports the hypothesis of a 24% proportion in the population, we set up null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the z-test statistic, compare it to a critical value, compute the p-value, and then make a conclusion based on whether the p-value is less than the chosen significance level of 0.05.

Explanation:

To test the hypothesis about the percentage of freshwater fish with high levels of mercury, we must first establish our null hypothesis (H0) and alternative hypothesis (Ha). The null hypothesis is that the true proportion of fish with dangerous mercury levels is 24% (H0: p = 0.24), while the alternative hypothesis is that the proportion is not 24% (Ha: p ≠ 0.24).

We then calculate the z-test statistic using the sample proportion (p' = 80/350 = 0.2286) and the assumed population proportion under H0 (p = 0.24), along with the standard deviation of the sampling distribution (σp = sqrt[p(1-p)/n]). This result is compared to the critical z-score of 1.96, which corresponds to our significance level (α) of 0.05 in a two-tailed test.

The p-value is calculated to determine the probability of observing our sample statistic, or one more extreme if the null hypothesis is true. If this p-value is less than 0.05, we reject H0 and conclude that the sample provides enough evidence against the null hypothesis.

A random variable x has a Normal distribution with an unknown mean and a standard deviation of 12. Suppose that we take a random sample of size n = 36 n=36 and find a sample mean of ¯ x = 98 x¯=98 . What is a 95% confidence interval for the mean of x ?

Answers

Answer: (94.08, 101.92)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for unknown population mean[tex](\mu)[/tex] is given by :-

[tex]\overline{x}\pm z^*\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

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

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

z* = Critical z-value.

Given : A random variable x has a Normal distribution with an unknown mean and a standard deviation of 12.

[tex]\sigma= 12[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x}=98[/tex]

n= 36

Confidence interval = 95%

We know that the critical value for 95% Confidence interval : z*=1.96

Then, the 95% confidence interval for the mean of x  will be :-

[tex]98\pm (1.96)\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{36}}[/tex]

[tex]=98\pm (1.96)\dfrac{12}{6}[/tex]

[tex]=98\pm (1.96)(2)[/tex]

[tex]=98\pm 3.92=(98-3.92,\ 98+3.92)\\\\=( 94.08,\ 101.92)[/tex]

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the mean of x is (94.08, 101.92) .

Answer:  95% confidence interval would be (94.08,101.92).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 36

standard deviation = 12

sample mean = 98

At 95% confidence, z = 1.96

So, interval would be

[tex]\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=98\pm 1.96\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{36}}\\\\=98\pm 3.92\\\\=(98-3.92,98+3.92)\\\\=(94.08,101.92)[/tex]

Hence, 95% confidence interval would be (94.08,101.92).

The weight (in pounds) for a population of school-aged children is normally distributed with a mean equal to 133 ± 25 pounds (μ ± σ). Suppose we select a sample of 100 children (n = 100) to test whether children in this population are gaining weight at a 0.05 level of significance. Part (a) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? H0: μ ≤ 133 H1: μ > 133 H0: μ = 133 H1: μ < 133 H0: μ = 133 H1: μ ≠ 133 H0: μ ≤ 133 H1: μ = 133

Answers

Answer:

Null hypothesis:  [tex]\mu \leq 133[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis :[tex]\mu>133[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

Is a one right tailed test.  

What are H0 and Ha for this study?  

We want to test if the children in this population are gaining weight, so we want to test if the mean increase from the reference value or no.

Null hypothesis:  [tex]\mu \leq 133[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis :[tex]\mu>133[/tex]  

 

Final answer:

The correct null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether children are gaining weight compared to a known mean would be H0: μ = 133 and H1: μ > 133, respectively, representing a one-tailed test.

Explanation:

When a student is asking about the null and alternative hypotheses for a population's weight distribution, they are referring to the initial assumptions and contrasting propositions made in a statistical test.

Part (a) of the question suggests that we are trying to test if children in this population are gaining weight. Therefore, the correct set of hypotheses to test this claim would be:
H0: μ = 133 (the null hypothesis, stating that the mean weight is equal to 133 pounds)
H1: μ > 133 (the alternative hypothesis, stating that the mean weight is greater than 133 pounds).

This setup represents a one-tailed test because we are only interested in whether the weight has increased, not if it has changed in any direction.

A buoy floating in the sea is bobbing in simple harmonic motion with period 2 seconds and amplitude 8 in. Its displacement d from sea level at time t=0 seconds is 0 in, and initially it moves downward. (Note that downward is the negative direction.) Give the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t. d= ク

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the displacement [tex]d[/tex] as a function of time [tex]t[/tex] is :

[tex]d(t)=8sin(\pi t+\pi )[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally , A simple harmonic wave is a sinusoidal function that is it can be expressed in simple [tex]sin[/tex] or [tex]cos[/tex] terms.

Thus,

[tex]d(t) = Asin(wt+c)[/tex]

is the general form of displacement of a SHM.

where,

[tex]d(t)[/tex] is the displacement with respect to the mean position at any time [tex]t[/tex][tex]A[/tex] is amplitude [tex]w[/tex] is the natural frequency of oscillation ([tex]rads^{-1}[/tex])[tex]c[/tex] is the phase angle which indicates the initial position of the object in SHM ([tex]rad[/tex])

given,

Time period ([tex]T[/tex]) = [tex]2s[/tex][tex]A=8[/tex]The natural frequency ([tex]w[/tex]) and time period ([tex]T[/tex]) is :

                               [tex]w=\frac{2\pi} {T}[/tex]

[tex]w[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2\pi }{2}  = \pi[/tex] [tex]rads^{-1}[/tex]

the equation :

⇒[tex]d(t)=8sin(\pi t+c)[/tex]                        ------1

since [tex]d=0[/tex] when [tex]t=o[/tex] ,

⇒[tex]0=8sinc\\c=n\pi[/tex]                         ------2

where n is an integer ;

⇒since the bouy immediately moves in the negative direction , [tex]x[/tex] must be negative or c must be an odd multiple of [tex]\pi[/tex].

⇒ [tex]d(t) = 8sin(\pi t+(2k+1)\pi )[/tex]         ------3

where k is also an integer ;

the least value of [tex]k=0[/tex];

thus ,

the equation is :

[tex]d(t)=8sin(\pi t+\pi )[/tex]

Final answer:

The equation for the displacement d as a function of time t for the buoy is d=-8 cos(πt), as this corresponds to the simple harmonic motion of a system starting at equilibrium and moving downwards.

Explanation:

The motion described by the buoy is that of a simple harmonic oscillator. The displacement (d) at any given time (t), especially for a system initiating motion from the equilibrium and moving downwards, can be given by the equation of a cosine function. Therefore, the equation would be d= - A cos(2πt/T), where A is the amplitude and T is the period. Given the amplitude (A) of 8 in and the period (T) of 2 sec, the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t for this buoy can be given by: d = -8 cos(πt).

Answers

The volume of a box is the amount of space in the box.

The restriction on x is x > 6The expression for volume is [tex]\mathbf{V = 7.2x^2 -61.2x +108}[/tex].The dimension of the box for a volume of 520 is: 25.03 by 6.93 by 3If the box is to have a volume between 600 and 800, the value of x would be between 13.54 and 14.93

(a) The dimension of the box

Let:

The width of the cardboard be x.

So, the length of the cardboard is: 2.4x

When 3 inches is removed, the dimension of the box is:

[tex]\mathbf{L = 2.4x- 6}[/tex] --- length

[tex]\mathbf{W = x - 6}[/tex] ---- width

[tex]\mathbf{H = 3}[/tex] --- height

(b) The restriction on x

When 3 inches is removed, it means that a total of 6 inches will be removed from either sides.

Hence, the value of x must be greater than 6.

So, the restriction on x is:

[tex]\mathbf{x > 6}[/tex]

(c) Function that represents volume.

The volume (V) of a box is:

[tex]\mathbf{V = L \times W \times H}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{V = (2.4x - 6) \times (x - 6) \times 3}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\mathbf{V = (7.2x - 18) \times (x - 6)}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{V = 7.2x^2 - 43.2x - 18x +108}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{V = 7.2x^2 -61.2x +108}[/tex]

(d) The dimension, when the volume is 520

This means that, V = 520

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{ 7.2x^2 -61.2x +108 = 520}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{ 7.2x^2 -61.2x +108 - 520 = 0}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{ 7.2x^2 -61.2x -412 = 0}[/tex]

Using a calculator, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x = 12.93\ or\ x = -4.43}[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]\mathbf{x > 6}[/tex]

So, the value of x is:

[tex]\mathbf{x = 12.93}[/tex]

Substitute 12.93 for x in [tex]\mathbf{L = 2.4x- 6}[/tex]  and [tex]\mathbf{W = x - 6}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{L = 2.4 \times 12.93 - 6 = 25.03}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{W = 12.93 - 6 = 6.93}[/tex]

So, the dimension of the box is: 25.03 by 6.93 by 3

(e) The value of x, when the volume is between 600 and 800

This means that, V = 600 and V = 800

Recall that: [tex]\mathbf{x > 6}[/tex]

So, the value of x is:

[tex]\mathbf{x = 13.54}[/tex]

When V = 800, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{ 7.2x^2 -61.2x +108 = 800}[/tex]

Samples of laboratory glass are in small, light packaging or heavy, large packaging. Suppose that 2% and 1% of the sample shipped in small and large packages, respectively, break during transit. If 53% of the samples are shipped in large packages and 47% are shipped in small packages, what proportion of samples break during shipment? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

Answers

Answer: Our required probability is 0.0153.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

probability of sample shipped in small packages P(S) = 53% = 0.53

Probability of sample shipped in large packages P(L) = 47% = 0.47

Probability of sample in small break during transit P(S|B)= 2%=0.02

Probability of sample in large break during transit P(L|B) = 1% = 0.01

so, According to bayes theorem, we get that

Proportion of samples break during shipment is given by

[tex]P(S).P(S|B)+P(L).P(L|B)\\\\=0.53\times 0.02+0.47\times 0.01\\\\=0.0153[/tex]

Hence, our required probability is 0.0153.

Final answer:

To find the proportion of samples that break during shipment, multiply the percentage of samples in each packaging type by their breakage rates and add the results. Doing so, we find that 1.47% of the samples break during shipment.

Explanation:

To calculate the proportion of samples that break during shipment, we need to use the percentages of each type of packaging and their respective breakage rates. For small packages, which account for 47% of shipments, a 2% break rate applies. For large packages that make up 53% of the shipments, we have a 1% break rate. The calculation is as follows:

Breakage from small packages = 47% of samples * 2% breakage = 0.47 * 0.02Breakage from large packages = 53% of samples * 1% breakage = 0.53 * 0.01

Now we add these two probabilities together to find the total proportion of samples that break:

Total broken samples proportion = (0.47 * 0.02) + (0.53 * 0.01) = 0.0094 + 0.0053 = 0.0147

Thus, the proportion of broken samples during shipment is 0.0147, or 1.47% when rounded to four decimal places.

Substitute the respective values as shown:

[tex]95\% CI=480\pm 2.064\times \frac{11}{\sqrt{25}}[/tex]

[tex]95\% CI=480\pm 4.5408[/tex]

[tex]95\% CI=475.4592\ to\ 484.5408[/tex]

Hence, the 95% confidence interval to estimate is 475.4592 to 484.5408

Using the t-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the sample, it is found that the 95% confidence interval to estimate the temperature at which brittleness first appeared is given by (475.46 ºF, 484.54 ºF).

What is a t-distribution confidence interval?

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.t is the critical value.n is the sample size.s is the standard deviation for the sample.

The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed 95% confidence interval, with 25 - 1 = 24 df, is t = 2.0639.

The other parameters are as follows:

[tex]n = 25, \overline{x} = 480, s = 11[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 480 - 2.0639\frac{11}{\sqrt{25}} = 475.46[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 480 + 2.0639\frac{11}{\sqrt{25}} = 484.54[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval is (475.46 ºF, 484.54 ºF).

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The probability that randomly selected high school student plays organized sport is 236/300 = 59/75 = 0.787 = 78.7%.

(b) The probability means that for every 75 random students selected, 59 of them plays organized sport.

The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.91. Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 6 minutes to select a shoe purchase. Is this outcome unusual?

Answers

Answer:  0.0918, it is not unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.91.

i.e. [tex]\mu=8.54[/tex] minutes and [tex]\sigma= 1.91[/tex] minutes

Let x denotes the length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase.

Formula : [tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Then, the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 6 minutes to select a shoe purchase will be :-

[tex]\text{P-value=}P(x<6)=P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{6-8.54}{1.91})\\\\\approx P(z<1.33)=1-P(z<1.33)\ \ \ [\becaus\ P(Z<-z)=1-P(Z<z)]\\\\=1-0.9082\ \ [\text{By using z-value}]=0.0918[/tex]

Thus , the required probability = 0.0918

Since, P-value (0.0918) >0.05 , it means this outcome is not unusual.

[Note : When a outcome is unusual then the probability of its happening is less than or equal to 0.05. ]
