There are 5 marbles in a bag: 4 are blue and 1 is red. What is the probability that a blue marble gets picked?

Answer:

Using the normal probability distribution, with a capacity of 350, it is enough for all abused on 90.82% of nights.

274 shelters will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 250, \sigma = 75[/tex]

If the city’s shelters have a capacity of 350, will that be enough places for abused women on 95% of all nights?

What is the percentile of 350?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 350.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{250 - 150}{75}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.33[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.33[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9082.

Using the normal probability distribution, with a capacity of 350, it is enough for all abused on 90.82% of nights.

If not, what number of shelter openings will be needed?

The 95th percentile, which is X when Z = 1.645. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 150}{75}[/tex]

[tex]X - 150 = 1.645*75[/tex]

[tex]X = 274[/tex]

274 shelters will be needed.

The current shelter capacity of 350 will not be sufficient for 95% of nights according to the normal distribution of the number of women in shelters each night. To have enough capacity for 95% of the nights, the city's shelter would need approximately 397 bed openings.

The subject of this question relates to a discipline in statistics called normal distribution. Essentially, we have the mean number of women in shelters each night (250) and the standard deviation (75). Since the council wants the capacity to be enough for 95% of nights, we need to find the number corresponding to the 95th percentile in this normal distribution.

In a normal distribution, 95% of the data falls within 1.96 standard deviations of the mean. So, we will calculate the upper limit of the capacity using the following formula: Upper Limit = Mean + (1.96 * Standard Deviation)

By substituting the given mean and standard deviation (250 and 75 respectively), we get: Upper Limit = 250 + (1.96 * 75) = 397.

So, a shelter capacity of 350 will not be sufficient to house most abused women on 95% of all nights. The city's shelters would need 397 openings to meet this requirement.

58.1377674149945 inches. (Round to whatever you need)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we turn to Pythagoras theorem.

Because there is a right angled triangle,

Let the two shorter sides (length and width) be a and b and the longer side (diagonal) be c

A² + B² = C²

38² + 44² = 3380inches² (this is not the area. It's how Pythagoras theorem works)

Then the square root of this is 58.1377674149945 inches. (Round to whatever you need)

y = 16/2

y = 8

Hopefully this help u

Answer: y = 8

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for y, we must first isolate the term containing y which in this problem is 2y.

Since 3 is being added to 2y, we subtract 3 from

both sides of the equation to isolate the 2y.

On the left, the +3 and -3 cancel

out and on the right, 19 - 3 is 16.

So we have 2y = 16.

Now we can finish things off by just dividing

both sides of the equation by 2.

On the left the 2's cancel and on

the right, 16 divided by 2 is 8.

So y = 8.

Answer:

By the Chebyshev Theorem, 75% probability of a randomly selected state having between 21 and 53 multi-million dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

We have no information about the distribution, so we use the Chebyshev's theorem to solve this question.

Chebyshev Theorem:

75% of the data within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

89% of the data within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 37

Standard deviation = 8

What is the probability of a randomly selected state having between 21 and 53 multi-million dollars

21 = 37 - 2*8

So 21 is 2 standard deviations below the mean.

53 = 37 + 2*8

So 52 is 2 standard deviations above the mean.

By the Chebyshev Theorem, 75% probability of a randomly selected state having between 21 and 53 multi-million dollars

Given:

Given that the length of the side of the square is 12 cm.

The  given figure consists of two circles with radius of 3 cm each.

We need to determine the area of the shaded region.

Area of the square:

The area of the square can be determined using the formula,

[tex]A=s^2[/tex]

Substituting s = 12, we get;

[tex]A=12^2[/tex]

[tex]A=144 \ cm^2[/tex]

Thus, the area of the square is 144 square cm.

Area of the two circles:

The area of the circle can be determined using the formula,

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]

Substituting r = 3, we get;

[tex]A=(3.14)(3)^2[/tex]

[tex]A=(3.14)(9)[/tex]

[tex]A=28.26 \ cm^2[/tex]

The area of 2 circles is given by

[tex]A=2(28.26)[/tex]

[tex]A=56.52 \ cm^2[/tex]

Thus, the area of the two circles is 56.52 square cm.

Area of the shaded region:

The area of the shaded region can be determined by subtracting the area of the two circles from the area of the square.

Thus, we have;

Area = Area of square - Area of two circles.

Substituting the values, we get;

[tex]Area = 144- 56.52[/tex]

[tex]Area=87.5 \ cm^2[/tex]

Thus, the area of the shaded region is 87.5 square cm.

Final answer:

To construct a confidence interval for the true mean daily fees collected at the parking garage, the normal distribution should be used. Using a 90% confidence level, the confidence interval is calculated as $116 to $136. Based on the confidence interval, it is possible that the consultant's prediction of $130 per day could be correct.

Explanation:

(a) To construct the confidence interval, we should use the normal distribution. This is because the sample size is large enough (14 days) and the Central Limit Theorem applies, which states that the sampling distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normal, regardless of the shape of the population distribution.

(b) To construct a 90% confidence interval, we need to find the critical value corresponding to a 90% confidence level. The critical value for a 90% confidence level can be found using a z-table. From the z-table, we find that the critical value is approximately 1.645. The margin of error is calculated as the critical value multiplied by the standard deviation of the sample mean, which is the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. In this case, the margin of error is (1.645 x 15) / √14. We can then construct the confidence interval by subtracting and adding the margin of error to the sample mean. The 90% confidence interval for the true mean daily fees collected at this parking garage is approximately $116 to $136.

(c) Based on the confidence interval, we can see that the range of $116 to $136 includes the predicted average of $130 per day by the consultant. Therefore, it is possible that the consultant could have been correct.

Answer:

The margin of error increases as the level of confidence increases because the larger the expected proportion of intervals that will contain the​ parameter, the larger the margin error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of Error is a statistical measure of random sampling error insurvey results.

Level of confidence reflects percentage range around sample mean, that can be expected to contain population actual parameter.

High level of confidence means larger range band of confidence interval, supposed to contain the population parameter. This further implies  high expected variation between sample statistic & actual parameter i.e Margin Error increases.

The margin of error increases as the level of confidence increases because the smaller the expected proportion of intervals that will contain the​ parameter, the larger the margin of error (C).

The correct answer is C. The margin of error increases as the level of confidence increases because the smaller the expected proportion of intervals that will contain the​ parameter, the larger the margin of error. When we calculate a confidence interval, we need to balance our desire for a higher level of confidence with the need for a smaller margin of error.

For example, let's say we want to estimate the proportion of students at a school who prefer chocolate ice cream. If we want to be extremely confident in our estimate, let's say 99% confident, there will be a larger margin of error since we need to consider a smaller proportion of intervals that will contain the true proportion.

On the other hand, if we were only interested in being 90% confident, there would be a smaller margin of error since we can include a larger proportion of intervals that will contain the true proportion.

Answer:

[tex]y = 2x -9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line using slope and a point, first use the slope to create the basic line using the slope and work from there.

For instance, the base equation here is

[tex]y = 2x[/tex]

This line passes through the point (0, 0).

You can then plug in a value for x. In this case, use the value of 3, as it corresponds with your question.

[tex]y = 2 * 3[/tex]

A point on the line of y = 2x would thus be (3, 6).

To make the y-value equal -3, you must then subtract from the original equation. There are 9 units between 6 and -3, so you must subtract nine units in the equation. You should get this at the end:

[tex]y = 2x -9[/tex]

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".

[tex]\bar X=19.1[/tex] represent the sample mean

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

s=1.5 represent the sample standard deviation

[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=9-1=8[/tex]

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.005[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,8)".And we see that [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=[/tex]

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of interest is lower than 0.6 or 60%, so then the system of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p \geq 0.6[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.6[/tex]  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, 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].

Calculate the statistic  

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

[tex]z=\frac{0.55 -0.6}{\sqrt{\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{80}}}=-0.913[/tex]  

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 assumed for this case is [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex]. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

[tex]p_v =P(z<-0.913)=0.181[/tex]  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using 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 FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of graduate students show that only 44 students have ever done so is not significantly lower than 0.6
