Assume then that

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample of 153 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation is 15 for the population of all adults.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 15[/tex]

We wish to find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students. Suppose we want to be 90% confident that our sample mean is within 2 IQ points of the true mean.

This means that a sample of n is needed.

n is found when M = 2. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2 = 1.645\frac{15}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{n} = 1.645*15[/tex]

Simplifying both sides by 2

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.645*7.5[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.645*7.5)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 152.2[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 153 is needed.

24 swimmers are swimming in the pool. 9 of them are female. What fraction of swimmers are male?

Answers

Answer:

15/24 or 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Well 9 are female

The rest of the 24 has to be male so

24-9=15

15/24 or 5/8

The fraction of male swimmers is 5/8.

Given,

24 swimmers are swimming in the pool.

9 of them are female.

We need to find what fraction of male swimmers.

How do we find fraction of items from the total items?

We write in two parts numerator and denominator.

= Numerator / Denominator

= Number of required items / Total number of items

Find the total number of swimmers.

= 24

Find the number of male swimmers.

= Total swimmers - Female swimmers

= 24 - 9

= 15

Find the fraction of male swimmers.

= Number of male swimmers / Total number of swimmers
= 15 / 24

Taking out the common factor

= 3 x 5 / 3 x 8

= 5/8

Thus the fraction of male swimmers is 5/8.

Based on preliminary work sampling to determine the time it will take to code these types of cases; it will take 5 minutes per endoscopy and 15 minutes per EP study. Calculate number of FTE needed to be hired to cover additional procedures per 7.5 hour day

Answers

Answer:

The number of FTE needed to be hired to cover the additional procedures per 7.5 day work is:

= 1.

 

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                Endoscopies      EP Studies    Total

Projected number of studies         60                      5              65

Time in minutes for per study         5                     15

Total time required (in minutes) 300                     75           375

Full-time Employee (FTE) works 7.5-hour day or 450 minutes (7.5 * 60) per day.

b)The number of full-time employees (FTE) needed to be hired to cover the additional procedures per 7.5-day work is 1.  The FTE has 450 minutes available for the additional procedures.  She will only require 375 minutes.  Therefore, she has extra (idle) time of 75 (450 - 375) minutes per workday.

Drew has two cats. One cat weighs 17 pounds, and the other one weighs 1212 pounds. Audrey’s dog weighs 33 pounds.
What is the difference in ounces between Audrey’s dog and the combined weights of Drew’s cats?
Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

48 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps:

Combine the weight of the cats.

12 (assuming it is a typo, 1212 pounds is a pretty big cat!) + 17 = 30 pounds

Convert to ounces.

33 pounds = 528 ounces

30 pounds = 480 ounces

Subtract the two/find the difference.

528 - 480 = 48.

The difference in ounces between Audrey's dog and the combined weights of Drew's cats is 48 ounces.

Well the chance of picking 3 one time is 1/3

The chance of picking 3 the second time is 1/3

So at first, we've succeeded with probability 1/3 and failed with probability 2/3

We don't care what happens next if we've failed - we already failed.

So we've reached the "picking the second card with hope in our hearts" 1/3 of the time and we again succeed with 1/3 of a chance, so the total probability of success is 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

Think of the options:

3 and 3 - probability 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

3 and non-3 - probability 1/3 * 2/3 = 2/9

non-3 and 3 - probability 2/3 * 1/3 = 2/9

non-3 and non-3 - probability 2/3 * 2/3 = 4/9

Note that all the options sum to 1 - as probabilities of all options always should.

The length of a rectangle is 1 ft less than twice its
width. If the area of the rectangle is 78 ft^2 ,what
are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

Width: 13/2 ft.

Length: 12 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the width is x

This means that the length is 2x-1, because it it one less than double the width.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is length*width, so

(2x-1)*x=78

Now let's solve for x

2x^2-x=78

2x^2-x-78=0

Use the quadratic formula

x=13/2 and x=-6

x cannot be negative, so we can rule out x=-6 and are left with x=13/2.

Substituting x back into our original assumptions, we now know that

The width is x=13/2 and

The length is 2x-1=2(13/2)-1=12

Final answer: The width is 13/2 ft. and the length is 12 ft.

To the nearest tenth of a centimeter, how tall is a cylinder with a radius of 8.4 cm and volume of 3119.5 cm3. Give the approximate answer rounded to 2 decimal places.

Thank you!

Answers

Answer:

r=8.4cm

v=3119.5cmcube

volume of a cylinder

=pie r square height

pie=22/7

22/7×8.4×8.4×h=3119.5cm cube

221.76cmsquareh=3119.5cm cube

___________________________

221.76cm square(both sides)

h=14.07cm

The height of the cylinder is h =  14.09 cm

Given data:

To find the height of the cylinder,  the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr²h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

Given that the radius is 8.4 cm and the volume is 3119.5 cm³, substitute these values into the formula and solve for h.

3119.5 cm³ = π(8.4 cm)²h

To isolate h, divide both sides of the equation by π(8.4 cm)²:

h = 3119.5 cm³ / (π(8.4 cm)²)

Now, calculate the approximate value of h as:

h ≈ 3119.5 / (π * 8.4²)

≈ 3119.5 / (3.14 * 70.56)

≈ 3119.5 / 221.1264

≈ 14.0989 cm

Hence , the height is 14.09 cm
