Of 1000 randomly selected cases of lung cancer, 838 resulted in death within 10 years. Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the death rate from lung cancer. (a) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the death rate from lung cancer. Round your answers to 3 decimal places. (b) Using the point estimate of p obtained from the preliminary sample, what sample size is needed to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true value of p is less than 0.03

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.8152 ≤ p ≤ 0.8608

579

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Samples size n = 1000

Deaths within 10 years, p = 838

α = 95%

Construction a two way confidence interval:

p ± Zα/2 * √p(1-p) / n

point estimate p = 838/n = 838/1000 = 0.838

Z0.05/2 = Z0.025 = 1.96

0.838 - 1.96√0.838(1-0.838) / 1000

0.838 - 1.96*0.0116514 = 0.8152

0.838 + 1.96√0.838(1-0.838) / 1000

0.838 + 1.96*0.0116514 = 0.8608

0.8152 ≤ p ≤ 0.8608

b) Using the point estimate of p obtained from the preliminary sample, what sample size is needed to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true value of p is less than 0.03

Error (E) = 0.03

To find the samome size, use the relation:

n = (Zα/2 / E)² * p(1-p)

n = (1.96/0.03)² * 0.838(1-0.838)

n = (1.96/0.03)² * 0.838 * 0.162

n = 4268.4444 * 0.838 * 0.162

n = 579.46

n = 579

Web crawlers need to estimate the frequency of changes to Web sites to maintain a current index for Web searches. Assume that the changes to a Web site follow a Poisson process with a mean of 6 days. Let a random variable X denote the time (in days) until the next change. What is the probability that the time until the next change is greater than 9.5 days

Answers

Answer:

The probability will be "0.205".

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that perhaps the time remains greater than 9.5 days before the next shift will indeed be:

⇒  [tex]P(X>9.5)[/tex]

⇒  [tex]1-P(X<9.5)[/tex]

⇒  [tex]1-(1-exp(\frac{-9.5}{6} ))[/tex]

The value of a car dropped from $35,600 to $30,189 over the last year. Determine the absolute and relative

change in this situation. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.


Absolute change=


Relative change=

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

old price= $35,600

new price=$30,189

Absolute change= old price -new price

Absolute change=35,600-30,189

Absolute change=5411

Relative change=(old price -new price)/old

Relative change=(35,600-30,189)/35,600

Relative change=5411/35,600

Relative change=0.151

the relative change is a percentage= 0.151*100= 15.1%

Answer:

√6 -1 ≈ 1.44949√6 +1 ≈ 3.44949

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number. Then the sum of squares is ...

  x² +(x+2)² = 14

  2x² +4x +4 = 14 . . . eliminate parentheses

  2x² +4x -10 = 0 . . . put in standard form

  x² +2x -5 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2 (because we can)

  (x +1)² -6 = 0 . . . . . complete the square

  x +1 = √6  . . .   we want the positive root

  x = -1 +√6

  x+2 = 1 +√6

The numbers are √6±1.

1) The domain is [0,300]. The range is [0,250]

2) The slope for the initial climb is 3.57. The equation of the line is

3) The rate of change of the second hill is -1.4

4) The rate of change of the third hill is -2.1

5) The blue hill is steeper

6) It is not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

The domain of a function is the set of values of x (the input) for which the function itself is defined.

Instead, the range of a function is the set of values of y (the output) that the function can take.

To find the domain, we have to look at the x-axis and see for which values of x the function is defined. By looking at the graph, we see that the function is defined between

x = 0 and x = 300

So, the domain is [0,300].

To find the range, we have to look at the y-axis and see for which values of y the function has an output. By looking at the graph, we see that the function has values of y between

y = 0 and x = 250

So, the range is [0,250].

2)

The slope of a function in a certain range is given by

where

is the change in the y-coordinate

is the change in the x-coordinate

For the initial climb (pink line), we have:

Therefore, the slope in this part is

We can now write the equation of the line in the form

y = mx + b

where b is the y-intercept: since it is zero, the line has simply the form

3)

Again, to calculate the slope of the hill, we use:

where

is the change in the y-coordinate

is the change in the x-coordinate

For the green hill, we have:

So the rate of change is

4)

As before, the rate of change of the hill is

For the blue hill, we have:

So the rate of change is

5)

To know which hill is steeper, we need to compare the magnitude of their rate of change.

In fact, both hills have rate of change negative - because we are going down along the slope. Therefore, we have to consider the magnitude of their slope.

For the green hill:

For the blue hill:

We see that the blue hill has a greater slope (in magnitude): therefore, the blue hill is steeper.

6)

A function is defined as a mapping (operation between two sets of variables) in which to one value of x (the input) corresponds one and only one value of y (the output).

This means that a function cannot have multiple values of y for the same x (the input).

By looking at the graph, we see that this function does not respect this criterium: in fact, we see that certain values of x give multiple values of the output, y (for instance, at x=300 the function has two values). So, this is not a function.

x=1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

SOLVE:

1 (divide) 2 7/9 = x+ 4 2/5x

1 (divide) 25/9 = x + 4 2/5x

1 * 9/25 + 5 2/5x

9/25 = 5 2/5x

divide both sides by 5 2/5 or you can multiply by the reciprocal

5 2/5x = 27/5x

then once you do that you get x= 1/15

CHECK ANSWER:

Insert 1/15 instead of x

1 (divide) 2 7/9 = (1/15) + 4 2/5 (1/15)

Question 1. Write a function called simulate that generates exactly one simulated value of your test statistic under the null hypothesis. It should take no arguments and simulate 50 area codes under the assumption that the result of each area is sampled from the range 200-999 inclusive with equal probability. Your function should return the number of times you saw the 781 area code in those 50 random spam calls.

Answers

Answer:

The function written in python is as follows:

import random

def simulate():

    count = 0

    for i in range(1,51):

         num = random.randint(200,1000)

         if num == 781:

              count = count + 1

    print(count)

Step-by-step explanation:

This line imports the random library

import random

This line defines the function

def simulate():

This line initializes count to 0

    count = 0

This line iterates from 1 to 50

    for i in range(1,51):

This line generates random number between 200 and 999

         num = random.randint(200,1000)

This line checks if random number is 781

         if num == 781:

If yes, the count variable is incremented by 1

              count = count + 1

This line prints the number of times 781 is generated

    print(count)

Suppose Jasmine drives from home to the office in 20 minutes. Use this information and part (b) to write an equation. QUICK RSM HELL EMERGENCY DUE TOMARO

Answers

Answer:

d = 36t

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of Jasmine first as shown:

Speed = Distance/Time

Given:

Distance = 12miles

Time = 20mins

Time = 20/60 hr

Time = 1/3 hr

Speed = 12/(1/3)

Speed = 12 * 3/1

Speed = 38mi/hr

From the formula:

S = d/t

To get the equation needed, substitute s = 36 into the formula:

36 = d/t

d = 36t

Hence the required equation is d = 36t where d is the distance in miles and time in hour

Answers

Answer:

7mm : 3000 mm ; 1 : 428 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Given a drawing produced using a scale :

7 millimeters = 3 meters ; the scale factor for the drawing

Comparing units in millimeter and units on meter

1000 mm = 1 meter

Hence,

3000 mm = 3 meter

Then, we can say;

7 millimeters = 3000 millimeters

7mm : 3000 mm

Divide through by 7

An urn contains nine blue balls and seven yellow balls. If three balls are selected randomly without being​ replaced, what is the probability that of the balls​ selected, one of them will be blue and two of them will be​ yellow?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Probability = \frac{27}{80}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Blue =9[/tex]

[tex]Yellow = 7[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability that one of the balls is blue while others is yellow

The order of selection may be any of these three:

Yellow, Yellow, Blue or Yellow, Blue, Yellow or Blue, Yellow, Yellow

Solving Yellow, Yellow, Blue

[tex]Probability = P(Y_1) * P(Y_2) * P(B)[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{7}{16} * \frac{6}{15} * \frac{9}{14}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{8} * \frac{1}{5} * \frac{9}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{9}{80}[/tex]

Solving Yellow, Blue, Yellow

[tex]Probability = P(Y_1) * P(B) * P(Y_2)[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{7}{16} * \frac{9}{15} * \frac{6}{14}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{9}{80}[/tex]

Solving Blue, Yellow, Yellow

[tex]Probability = P(B) *P(Y_1) * P(Y_2)[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{9}{16} * \frac{7}{15} * \frac{6}{14}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{9}{80}[/tex]

Hence:

The required probability is:
