According to a survey, about 19% of all Americans are without health insurance. Assume that this estimate is reasonably accurate. Suppose that you select a random sample of 46 Americans. (a) Calculate the expected number of Americans without health insurance in the sample. Answer: (Keep at least four decimal places.) (b) Calculate the standard deviation of the number of Americans without health insurance in the sample. Answer: (Keep at least four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 8.74

b) 2.6607

Step-by-step explanation:

For each American, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are without health insurance, or they are not. In the sample, each person is independent of any other person, which means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

According to a survey, about 19% of all Americans are without health insurance.

This means that [tex]p = 0.19[/tex]

Suppose that you select a random sample of 46 Americans.

This means that [tex]n = 46[/tex]

(a) Calculate the expected number of Americans without health insurance in the sample.

[tex]E(X) = np = 46*0.19 = 8.74[/tex]

(b) Calculate the standard deviation of the number of Americans without health insurance in the sample.

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{46*0.19*0.81} = 2.6607[/tex]

As the student council treasurer, you prepare the budget for your class rafting trip. Each large raft
costs $100 to rent and each small raft costs $40 to rent. You have $1,600 to spend. Write and
solve a linear equation to find the number of small rafts you can rent if you rent 12 large rafts.

Answers

Answer:

10 small rafts

Step-by-step explanation:

(1600- 1200) / 40 = 10

1600- 1200 = 400

400 / 40 = 10

12 large rafts costs $1200 so subtract that amount from you budget. If you do that you will have $400 left. So I divided $400 by the amount of money each small raft cost whitch was $40 per small raft so i got the quotient of 10.

Sorry if i worded that weirdly but you get the point.

please help me!​

Answers

Answer:

Simplifying

21p + 35q = 0

Solving

21p + 35q = 0

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-35q' to each side of the equation.

21p + 35q + -35q = 0 + -35q

Combine like terms: 35q + -35q = 0

21p + 0 = 0 + -35q

21p = 0 + -35q

Remove the zero:

21p = -35q

Divide each side by '21'.

p = -1.666666667q

Simplifying

p = -1.666666667q

A fair die, with its faces numbered from 1 to 6, is one in which each number is equally likely to land face up when the die is rolled. On a fair die, the probability that the number 6 will land face up is 16. A group of students wanted to investigate a claim about manipulating a fair die so that it favors one outcome. The claim states that if a fair die is put into an oven and baked at 200°F for 10 minutes, the inside of the die will begin to melt. When the die cools, the inside will be solid again, but with more weight toward the bottom. This shift in weight will cause the face that was up when the die cooled to land up more often that the other faces.
The students obtained a fair die and baked it according to the preceding directions. The die cooled with the number 6 face up. After the die cooled, they rolled the die 200 times, and the number 6 landed face up 43 times. Let p represent the population proportion of times the number 6 will land face up on the baked die if the die could be rolled an infinite number of times.
(a) Clarke, one of the students, constructed a 95 percent confidence interval for p as 0.215±0.057. Does the interval provide convincing statistical evidence that the number 6 will land face up more often on the baked die than on a fair die? Explain your reasoning.
(b) Aurelia, another student, suggested they conduct a significance test to investigate the claim. She tested the hypotheses H0:p=16 versus Ha:p>16 at the significance level of α=0.05. She obtained a test statistic of 1.83 with a p-value of 0.033. Do the results of the significance test agree with the results of Clarke’s confidence interval in part (a)? Explain your reasoning.
(c) Joachim, a third student, noted that the confidence interval in part (a) gives plausible values of the parameter as an interval between two values. He suggested that they develop a one-sided confidence interval because they were only concerned with whether the number 6 was landing face up more often than expected, not less often. The one sided-interval will determine a value L such that all plausible values of p are greater than L. The formula for L is L=pˆ+z∗pˆ(1−pˆ)n−−−−−√.
(i) Determine the values of z∗ needed to create the one-sided 95 percent confidence interval. Then calculate the value of L.
(ii) Do the results of Joachim’s one-sided confidence interval agree with results of Aurelia’s significance test in part (b)? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

pˆ = 43 / 200 = 0.215

A.)

The confidence interval obtained :

0.215 ± 0.057 = (0.158 ; 0.272)

Since, 0.215 is within the confidence interval, we can conclude that, dice will lie face up on baked die more often than fair dice.

B.)

H0:p=16 versus Ha:p>16

Decision :

Reject H0 ; if Pvalue < α

Pvalue = 0.033 ; α = 0.05

0.033 < 0.05 ; we reject H0

HENCE, there is significant evidence to conclude that the proportion of face landing up on a baked dice is greater than 16. HENCE, it agrees with our conclusion in (1).

C.)

L=pˆ+z∗√pˆ(1−pˆ)n

Z critical for a one sided 95% confidence interval is 1.64

pˆ = 0.215

L = 0.215 + 1.64 * √(0.215*0.785) / 200

L = 0.215 + (1.64 * 0.1299134)

L = 0.215 + 0.213057976

L = 0.428

a cylinder has a volume of 48cm³ and a height of 9 inches what is the radius

Answers

Answer:

0.82cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

r = 0.81 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = πxr²xh

Volume = 48cm³

Height = 9 inches = 22.86 cm

Radius = ?

Using the above formula:

V = πr²h

r² = V / (πh)

r² =  48 / (π(22.86))

r² = 48/71.81

r² = 0.67 cm

Taking square root on both sides

r = 0.81 cm Ans

For the total population of a large a southern city, mean family income is
$34,000, with a standard deviation (for the population) of $5,000. Imagine
that your are taking a subsample of 200 city residents. What is the Z score for
$37,000 ?

Answers

Answer:

The Z score for $37,000 is 8.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean family income is $34,000, with a standard deviation (for the population) of $5,000.

This means that [tex]\mu = 34000, \sigma = 5000[/tex]

Subsample of 200 city residents.

This means that [tex]n = 200, s = \frac{5000}{\sqrt{200}} = 353.55[/tex]

What is the Z score for $37,000 ?

This is Z when X = 37000. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{37000 - 34000}{353.55}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 8.49[/tex]

The Z score for $37,000 is 8.49.
