Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) The population of this survey is the registered voters in the city of Raleigh.

B) 9500

C) 200

D) 0.325

E) 3088

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The population of this survey is the registered voters in the city of Raleigh.

B) Population size can be defined as the total number of individuals in a population. Here the total number of individuals are the registered voters in the city. Therefore the size of the population is 9500.

c) Sample size is defined as the number of individual samples in a statistical test. Here the sample size is the 200 randomly selected registered voters. It is denoted as "n".

d) The sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown would be:

p' = voters for brown / sample size

[tex] p' = \frac{65}{200} = 0.325 [/tex]

The sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown is 0.325

E) The expected number of voters for Brown based on the sample:

0.325 * 9500 = 3087.5

Approximately 3088

The expected number of voters for Brown based on the sample might be 3088 voters.

Sugar canes have lengths X that are normally distributed with mean 365.45 cm and standard deviation 4.9 cm what is the probability of the length of a randomly selected Cane being between 360 and 370 cm

Answers

Answer:

The probability of the length of a randomly selected Cane being between 360 and 370 cm  P(360 ≤X≤370)    = 0.6851

Step-by-step explanation:

step(i):-

Let 'X' be the random Normal variable

mean of the Population = 365.45

Standard deviation of the population = 4.9 cm

Let X₁ =  360

[tex]Z= \frac{x-mean}{S.D}= \frac{360-365.45}{4.9}[/tex]

Z₁ = -1.112

Let X₂ =  370

[tex]Z= \frac{x-mean}{S.D}= \frac{370-365.45}{4.9}[/tex]

Z₂ = 0.911

Step(ii):-

The probability of the length of a randomly selected Cane being between 360 and 370 cm

                  P(x₁≤x≤x₂) =    P(z₁≤Z≤z₂)

               P(360 ≤X≤370)   =    P(-1.11≤Z≤0.911)

                                     =    P(Z≤0.911)-P(Z≤-1.11)

                                     =   0.5 +A(0.911) - (0.5-A(1.11)

                                       =    0.5 +A(0.911) - 0.5+A(1.11)

                                      =     A(0.911) + A(1.11)

                                    =    0.3186 + 0.3665

                                     = 0.6851

The probability of the length of a randomly selected Cane being between 360 and 370 cm  P(360 ≤X≤370)    = 0.6851

b. If a simple random sampling procedure is to be employed, the chances that any particular sample will be the one selected are:________

Answers

Answer:

a) 10

b) 0.1 = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The combinations formula is used to solve this question, since the horses are chosen without replacement.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

a. Use this information to determine the number of possible samples (without replacement) of size 2 that can be obtained from the population of size 5.

Combinations of 2 objects from a set of 5. So

Answers

Answer:

The expected number of people that lives in rural areas and is in favor of continuing using daylight savings time is 287.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

There were 1285 residents from rural and urban areas surveyed about their opinion about using savings time. There are two variables of interest:

X₁: Area where the resident lives, categorized: "Rural area", "Urban area".

X₂: Opinion about using daylight savings time, categorized: "Stop", "Continue".

To know how many people who live in a rural area would you expect to be in favor of continuing to use daylight savings time, you have to calculate the expected frequency for that cell (See table in attachment)

The formula to calculate the expected frequencies is:

[tex]E_{ij}= \frac{O_{i.}*O_{.j}}{n}[/tex]

i: categories in rows i=1, 2

j: categories in columns j= 1, 2

Oi.: total observations for the i-row

O.j: total observations for the j-row

The category "rural" is in the first row, so its marginal is symbolized O₁.

The category "Continue" is in the second column, so its marginal is symbolized O.₂

The expected frequency for the people that live n rural areas and is in favor of continuing using daylight savings time is:

[tex]E_{12}= \frac{O_{1.}*O.2}{n}= \frac{622*591}{1285} = 286.07= 287[/tex]

How many school buses will be needed to take the children of Anderson school on a field trip ? Each bus can carry 60 people. 390 children and 30 adults are going on the trip

Answers

Answer:

7 school buses will be needed to take the children of Anderson school on a field trip

Step-by-step explanation:

number of children = 390

We are told that each bus carries 60 people

Therefore

60 people = 1 bus

1 person = (1 ÷ 60)

∴ 390 people = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{390}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{390}{60}[/tex] =  6.5 (approx. 7 buses)

Therefore, 7 school buses will be needed to take the children of Anderson school on a field trip, but the seventh bus will be half-filled with children.

Some accounting firms give the client an option to pay a fee when the tax return is completed that guarantees tax advices and support from the accountant if the client were audited. A large accounting firm is trying to determine what fee to charge for next​year's returns. In previous​ years, the actual mean cost to the firm for attending a client audit session was $690. To determine if this cost has​ changed, the firm randomly samples 35 client audit fees. The sample mean audit cost was $700 with a standard deviation of $65.

Required:
a. Develop a 90% confidence interval estimate for the mean audit cost.
b. Based on your confidence​ interval, what do you think of the claim that the mean cost has​ changed?

1. The interval does not contain the historical data mean $690, which supports claim the mean cost has changed.
2. The interval contains historical data mean $690, which supports the claim the mean cost has changed.
3. The interval does not contains historical data mean $690, which does not support the claim it has changed.
4. The interval contains historical data mean $690, which does not support the claim the mean cost has changed.

Answers

Answer:

a) $700+/-$18.07

Therefore,the 90% confidence interval (a,b)

= ($681.93, $718.07)

b) 4. The interval contains historical data mean $690, which does not support the claim the mean cost has changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = $700

Standard deviation r = $65

Number of samples n = 35

Confidence interval = 90%

z(at 90% confidence) = 1.645

a. Develop a 90% confidence interval estimate for the mean audit cost.

Substituting the values we have;

$700+/-1.645($65/√35)

$700+/-1.645($10.98700531147)

$700+/-$18.07362373736

$700+/-$18.07

Therefore,the 90% confidence interval (a,b) = ($681.93, $718.07)

b) Since, $690 is contained between the 90% confidence interval of ($681.93, $718.07). It implies that the mean cost has not changed.

4. The interval contains historical data mean $690, which does not support the claim the mean cost has changed.

A sample of 20 ships that carry fewer than 500 passengers resulted in a average rating of 6.93 with standard deviation 0.31. A sample of 55 ships that carry more than 500 passengers resulted in an average rating of 7.07 with standard deviation 0.6. statcrunch. Assume that the population standard deviation is 4.58 for ships that carry fewer than 500 passengers and 3.95 for ships that carry 500 or more passengers.

b. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error?
c. What is a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the population mean ratings for the two sizes of ships?

Answers

Answer:

a) The point estimate of the difference between the populations is Md=-0.14.

b) The margin of error at 95% confidence is 0.212.

c) The 95% confidence interval for the difference between means is (-0.352, 0.072).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between means.

The sample 1 (ships under 500 passengers), of size n1=20 has a mean of 6.93 and a standard deviation of 0.31.

The sample 2 (ships over 500 passengers), of size n2=55 has a mean of 7.07 and a standard deviation of 0.6.

The difference between sample means is Md=-0.14.

[tex]M_d=M_1-M_2=6.93-7.07=-0.14[/tex]

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

[tex]s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.31^2}{20}+\dfrac{0.6^2}{55}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{0.005+0.007}=\sqrt{0.011}=0.11[/tex]

The critical t-value for a 95% confidence interval is t=1.993.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_{M_d}=1.993 \cdot 0.11=0.212[/tex]

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

[tex]LL=M_d-t \cdot s_{M_d} = -0.14-0.212=-0.352\\\\UL=M_d+t \cdot s_{M_d} = -0.14+0.212=0.072[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between means is (-0.352, 0.072).

A diameter of a particular circle has endpoints at A(-1, -2) and B(3,10). Which of the following is the

A) -1/2
B) 4/5
C) -1/3
D) -4

Answers

Answer:

Option C) is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Endpoints of the diameter of the circle are A(-1, -2) and B(3,10)

To find: slope of the tangent drawn to the circle at point B

Solution:

Let [tex](x_1,y_1)=(-1,-2)\,,\,(x_2,y_2)=(3,10)[/tex]

Centre of the circle = [tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})=(\frac{-1+3}{2},\frac{-2+10}{2})=(1,4)[/tex]

Let [tex](h,k)=(1,4)[/tex]

Distance formula states that distance between points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by [tex]\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}[/tex]

Radius of the circle = Distance between points [tex](-1,-2)[/tex] and [tex](1,4)[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{(1+1)^2+(4+2)^2}=\sqrt{4+36}=\sqrt{40}[/tex] units

Let r = [tex]\sqrt{40}[/tex] units

Equation of a circle is given by [tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]

[tex](x-1)^2+(y-4)^2=\left ( \sqrt{40} \right )^2\\(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2=40[/tex]

Differentiate with respect to x

[tex]2(x-1)+2(y-4)\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=0\\\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=\frac{1-x}{y-4}[/tex]

Put [tex](x,y)=(3,10)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=\frac{1-3}{10-4}=\frac{-2}{6}=\frac{-1}{3}[/tex]

So,

slope of the tangent drawn to this circle at point B = [tex]\frac{-1}{3}[/tex]

225 feet below sea level (or -225 feet)

Step-by-step explanation:

My apologies in advance if this does not format the way its supposed to. The way I did it includes arrows and may work best on a computer.

Problem: A submarine that is 245 feet below sea level descends 83 feet and then ascends 103 feet. Which represents the location of the submarine compared to sea level.

Math: Ok, so we know that whenever something descends, that means it is going down, so let's use a negative sign. These means when something ascends, it goes up. Let's use a positive sign here. Also, note the fact that we start 245 feet below sea level. This means we should start at -245.

Now, using the data we have, let's create a math problem.

A submarine that is 245 feet below sea level descends 83 feet and then ascends 103 feet. Which represents the location of the submarine compared to sea level.

-245      <---- beginning level

-83        <---- the submarine descends

+103      <---- the submarine ascends

_______

?

So grab a calculator to do this part, or do it on your own. Once you finish, plug in the answer.

-245                                                   -245

-83                                                     -83

+103                             --------------->  +103

______                                          ________

?                                                      -225 feet

So as you can see, the final answer would be -225 feet or 225 feet below sea level.

The slope-intercept equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

The line passes through the points (0,2600) and (30, 2300)

(a) Calculate the slope of the line

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}m & = & \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\ & = & \dfrac{2300 - 2600}{30 - 0}\\\\& = & \dfrac{-300}{30}\\\\& = & \text{-10 ft/s}\\\\\end{array}[/tex]

(b) Locate the y-intercept

The y-intercept is at 2600 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangular blanket, that has a diagonal that measures h=7.21 feet.

The two sides of the rectangle a and b can be related to the diagonal h by the Pithagorean theorem:

[tex]a^2+b^2=h^2[/tex]

Then, we can express one side in function of the other as:

[tex]a^2+b^2=h^2\\\\a^2=h^2-b^2\\\\a=\sqrt{h^2-b^2}=\sqrt{7.21-b^2}=\sqrt{52-b^2}[/tex]

Then, if we define b, we get the value of a that satisfies the equation.

A graph of values of a and b is attached.

If both side a and b are integers, we can see in the graph that are only two solutions: (b=4, a=6) and (a=4, b=6).

  (9·8)/(6·(5-1)) = 3

On a snow day, Brooklyn created two snowmen in her backyard. Snowman A was built to a height of 60 inches and Snowman B was built to a height of 44 inches. The next day, the temperature increased and both snowmen began to melt. At sunrise, Snowman A's height decrease by 5 inches per hour and Snowman B's height decreased by 3 inches per hour. Let A(t)A(t) represent the height of Snowman A tt hours after sunrise and let B(t)B(t) represent the height of Snowman B tt hours after sunrise. Write the equation for each function and determine the number of hours after sunrise when both snowmen have an equal height.

Answers

Answer: it will take 9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which the height of each snowman decreased is linear. This means that it was decreasing in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference

n represents the number of terms(hours)

Considering snowman A,

Tn = A(t)

n = t

a = 60 inches

d = - 5 inches(since it is decreasing)

Therefore,

A(t) = 60 + (t - 1)-5

A(t) = 60 - 5t + 5

A(t) = 65 - 5t

Considering snowman B,

Tn = B(t)

n = t

a = 44 inches

d = - 3 inches(since it is decreasing)

Therefore,

B(t) = 44 + (t - 1)-3

B(t) = 44 - 3t + 3

B(t) = 47 - 3t

For both snowmen to have an equal height, it means that

65 - 5t = 47 - 3t

- 5t + 3t = 47 - 65

- 2t = - 18

t = - 18/- 2

t = 9 hours

which equation represents a circle with a radius of 8 centered at (-3,4)

Answers

Answer:

(x+3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a circle as

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2  where ( h-k) is the center and r is the radius

(x--3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 8^2

(x+3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 64
