Scientists want to estimate the mean weight of mice after they have been fed a

special diet. From previous studies, it is known that the weight is normally

distributed with standard deviation 4 grams. How many mice must be weighed so

that a 95% confidence interval will have margin of error of 0.4 grams?

Write only an integer as your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 484

Step-by-step explanation:

If Confidence Interval  CI = 95 %   then α = 5%  and α/2 = 2,5 %

α/2 = 0,0125

MOE for normal distribution is:

MOE = z * σ/√n

For α/2 = 0,0125    ⇒ z(score) = -2,2

MOE = |-2,2| * 4/√n

0,4*√n = 8,8

√n = 8,8 / 0,4

√n = 22

n = 484

First find the cubes and squares of the 1st and 2nd expression.

1st expression ⇒ [tex](-\frac{2}{3} x^2y)^3 = -\frac{8}{27}x^6y^3[/tex]

2nd expression ⇒ [tex](-\frac{3}{4}xy^2)^2 = -\frac{9}{16}xy^4[/tex]

Now you all you need to do is multiply the 1st expression to 2nd expression.

if caramel is put onto a sphere-shaped apple such that the surface area increase at a rate of 10 cm2/min, find the rate at which the diameter increases when the diameter is 15cm

Answers

Answer:

The diameter will increase at a rate of 1/30π cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to calculate the rate at which the diameter will increase

Mathematically, the area of a sphere is given as;

A = 4πr^2

But r = d/2

so A = 4 * π * d/2 * d/2 = πd^2

dA/d(d) = 2πd

Thus dd/dA = 1/2πd = 1/2 * π * 15 = 1/30π

Given dA/dt = 10

Mathematically;

d(d)/dt = d(d)/dA * dA/dt

dd/dt = 1/30π * 10 = 10/30π = 1/3π cm/min

How do you find the whole in percent problems

Answers

Answer:

So essentially, you are trying to find what the overall whole is based off of a number that is the percent of the number. In order to do this, you must turn your percentage into a fraction over 100. You are going to then create the number that is a percentage of another number into a fraction over "x". Cross multiply the two fractions. Since there is an "x", count is as a zero. Now, create a fraction with the numerator as the number you just got from multiplying, and the denominator as the number you have to refer to as the percent of the whole. Since fraction is division, divide the two numbers and you get your answer. Sorry if this is so complex I tried to simplify it as best as I could

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: 8 is 80% of what number?

80% to 80/100

8 to 8/x

*cross multiply*

80x/80 = 800/80

800 divided by 80 is 10.

so, 8 is 80% percent of 10.

24,840,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Round up of numbers includes rounding them up to a given place value.

We are asked to round 24,837,618 to the ten thousands place.

The ten thousands place is the place where the number 3 in the number is located.

The number after 3 = 7 is a number above 5. Hence, we add 1 to 3, making it 4

Therefore, 24,837,618 to the ten thousands place is 24,840,000

Suppose an internet marketing company wants to determine the current percentage of customers who click on ads on their smartphones. How many customers should the company survey in order to be 90% confident that the estimated proportion is within five percentage points of the true population proportion of customers who click on ads on their smartphones

Answers

Answer:

The value is  [tex]n =271[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The margin of error is  [tex]E = 5\% = 0.05[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645[/tex]

Generally we will assume that the sample proportion is [tex]\^ p = 0.5[/tex] since we have no information on the proportion of  of customers who click on ads on their smartphones

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

      [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p ) [/tex]

=>    [tex]n = [\frac{1.645 }}{0.05} ]^2 * 0.5 (1 - 0.5 ) [/tex]

=>    [tex]n =271[/tex]    

Using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, it is found that 271 customers should be sampled.

What is a confidence interval of proportions?

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.

The margin of error is given by:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In this problem:

90% confidence level, hence the critical value is z = 1.645.No prior estimate, hence p = 0.5.Within five percentage points, hence M = 0.05.

Then:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 0.5 \times 1.645[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = [10(1.645)][/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = [10(1.645)]^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 270.6[/tex]

Rounding up, 271 customers should be sampled.

Required:

[tex] g(3) - h(3) [/tex]

SOLUTION:

Substitute x = 3 into [tex] g(x) = 2x - 5 [/tex]

[tex] g(3) = 2(3) - 5 [/tex]

[tex] g(3) = 6 - 5 [/tex]

[tex] g(3) = 1 [/tex]

[tex] h(3) = 4(3) + 5 [/tex]

[tex] h(3) = 12 + 5 [/tex]

e. Model's Temperature at 10 A.M.: f(-7) = 61.91

   This value is 9.91 degrees higher than the actual value.

Step-by-step explanation:

With 1 am being timed as t = 1, we fitted the temperature data collected at different points during the day in Portland, Oregon using sine regression. After receiving the sine function, we respond to the many questions connected to the sine function's properties.

What is sinusoidal Function?

A smooth, repeating oscillation characterizes a sinusoidal function. Sine is an oscillation that is smooth and repeated, thus the name "sinusoidal." A pendulum swinging, a spring bouncing, or a guitar string vibrating are a few examples of commonplace objects that may be described by sinusoidal functions.

Given, The hourly temperature at Portland, Oregon, on a particular day is recorded.

Using sine regression on the given data with t = 1 being the hour 1 am etc, we get the following sine regression formula using the TI-83 Graphing Calculator where T is the temperature:

T = a sin(bt + c) + d

Where a = 19.65, b = 0.28, c = -2.93, d = 58.01

From the sine regression function above:

a. The amplitude of the sinusoidal function is a = 19.65.

b. The vertical shift is d = 58.01.

c. The period is 2*pi /b = 2*pi/ 0.28 = 22.44

d. At 5 PM, the time value is t = 17. Hence the temperature distribution with 5 PM being t = 0 will be

t = asin[b(t - 17) + c] +d.

e. From the table, at 10 AM, the actual value of the temperature is 52 degrees.

Using the model in part a., at 10 AM, with t = 10, the temperature will be

T = a sin(10b + c) + d

T = 55.46 degrees
