A professor wants to estimate the average time it takes his students to finish a computer project. Based on previous evidence, he believes that the standard deviation is approximately 3.6 hours. He would like to be 96% confident that his estimate is within 5 hours of the true population mean. Use RStudio to determine how large of a sample size is required without rounding any interim calculations.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample size of 3 is required.

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 - 0.96}{2} = 0.02[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.02 = 0.98[/tex], so Z = 2.054.

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.

Based on previous evidence, he believes that the standard deviation is approximately 3.6 hours.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 3.6[/tex]

He would like to be 96% confident that his estimate is within 5 hours of the true population mean. Use RStudio to determine how large of a sample size is required without rounding any interim calculations.

The sample size needed is of n, and n is found when M = 5. So

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

[tex]5 = 2.054\frac{3.6}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]5\sqrt{n} = 2.054*3.6[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.054*3.6}{5}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.054*3.6}{5})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 2.19[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample size of 3 is required.

In a carnival game, there are 8 identical boxes, one of which contains a prize. Contestants guess which box contains the prize. The game is played until one of the contestants guesses it correctly. A contestant with the smaller number of guesses wins the prize. Before each game, a new prize is placed at random in one of the 8 boxes.

Requried:
Is it appropriate to use the binomial probability distribution to find the probability that a contestant who plays the game that day several times wins exactly 4 times?

Answers

Since there is a fixed number of trials and the trials are independent, it is appropriate to use the binomial probability distribution to find the probability that a contestant who plays the game that day several times wins exactly 4 times.

What is the binomial distribution formula?

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

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

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.n is the number of trials.p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

The game is played n times.In each game, each of the 8 participants is equally as likely to win the game, hence p = 1/8.

Thus, the binomial distribution is appropriate.

Answer:

  29)  1/5

  30)  independent; 64/225 ≈ 0.284

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, a "spinner" is considered to be a (mathematically ideal) device that returns one of the values with which it is marked, with a probability according to the area of the sector in which the mark resides. Usually, sectors are presumed to have equal areas. The result of one spin is generally considered to be independent of the result from any other spin. In the real world, an operator familiar with a given spinner can often ensure that the results do not have equal probability and are not independent. We ignore that possibility in math problems.

__

29) Of the numbers 1 to 15, there are three numbers less than 4. The probability of spinning one of them is 3/15 = 1/5.

__

30a) We have defined our spinner so that the events are independent. (See above.)

30b) In the set of numbers 1 to 15, 8 are odd and 7 are even. The probability of getting an odd number on any spin is 8/15. Because the results of successive spins are independent, the probability of any given sequence is the product of the probabilities of the numbers in that sequence.

  P(2 odd) = P(odd)×P(odd) = (8/15)(8/15) = 64/225 ≈ 0.284

Karl set out to Alaska on his truck. The amount of fuel remaining in the truck's tank (in liters) as a function of distance driven (in kilometers) is graphed.

What distance did Karl travel by the time he had 200 liters of fuel?

_____ kilometers​

Answers

Answer:

500 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel (y) Karl has in his car is a function of the distance (x) Karl travelled. The amount of fuel (y) is dependent on the distance (x) Karl travelled.

On the y-axis, we have amount of fuel.

On the x-axis, we have distance travelled.

At the time Karl travelled when he had 200 liters of fuel (y) remaining in his car, he had travelled a distance (x) of 500 kilometers.

We know this by looking at the graph given. When x (distance) = 500, y (fuel) = 200.

in the right triangle AB, mc=90, a=4, and sinA=1/2. what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answers

Given:

In a right angle triangle ABC, [tex]m\angle C=90^\circ , a=4[/tex] and [tex]\sin A=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex].

To find:

The length of the hypotenuse.

Solution:

It is given that [tex]m\angle C[/tex], so opposite side of this angle is the hypotenuse, i.e., c.

In a right angle triangle,

[tex]\sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

In the given triangle,

[tex]\sin A=\dfrac{a}{c}[/tex]

Substituting the given values, we get

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{4}{c}[/tex]

By cross multiplication, we get

[tex]1\times c=4\times 2[/tex]

[tex]c=8[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 8 units.

We are given:

AE = 12 units

EB = 4 units

AD = 9 units

Putting values in above equation, we get:

You need to save $1,300 to go overseas in two years. You deposit $800 in a savings account today. The account earns 10% interest. You will make an additional deposit in one year. How much must you deposit in one year in order to have enough to go on the trip?

Answers

Answer:

The additional deposit to be made in one year should be $ 301.81.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that I need to save $ 1,300 to go overseas in two years, and I deposit $ 800 in a savings account today, that earns 10% interest, and I will make an additional deposit in one year, to determine how much must I deposit in one year in order to have enough to go on the trip, the following calculation must be performed:

800 x 1.1 = 880

(880 + X) x 1.1 = 1300

1300 / 1.1 = 1,181.81

1,181.81 - 880 = X

301.81 = X

Therefore, the additional deposit to be made in one year should be $ 301.81.

and the frequency induced in the secondary coil. (2)​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

88 V50 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

The secondary voltage is proportional to the primary voltage. The constant of proportionality is the ratio of secondary turns to primary turns.

The secondary voltage is ...

  (200/500)(220 V) = 88 V

__

A transformer does not change the frequency.* The voltage in the secondary coil is still 50 Hz.

_____

* Most transformers are designed to operate as linear devices. It is possible to design a transformer (with special core material) that operates non-linearly, and/or that is "tuned" to a frequency other than the one exciting the primary. That is, the secondary voltage may be some harmonic of the primary voltage. This would be a relatively unusual application of a transformer, beyond the apparent scope of the question here.

Q22. Solve the equation x – 25 = 25 and state which axiom do you use here.​

Answers

Answer:

x=50

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the equation x – 25 = 25 is x = 50. The axiom used to solve the equation is the addition property of equality.

To solve the equation x - 25 = 25, we want to isolate the variable x to find its value.

Adding 25 to both sides of the equation, we get:

x - 25 + 25 = 25 + 25

Simplifying, we have:

x = 50

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 50.

In this case, the axiom used to solve the equation is the addition property of equality. According to this axiom, if two expressions are equal, adding the same value to both sides of the equation preserves the equality.

In the given equation, we add 25 to both sides of the equation to maintain equality and obtain the solution x = 50. The addition property of equality allows us to perform this operation and determine the value of x.

(2,-2) (-1,4)

Answers

Answer:

y = -2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Points on the x-axis (x1, x2) = (2, -1)

Points on the y-axis (y1, y2) = (-2, 4)

To find the equation of line in slope intercept form;

First of all, we would determine the slope of the line.

Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;

[tex] Slope = \frac{Change \; in \; y \; axis}{Change \; in \; x \; axis} [/tex]

[tex] Slope, m = \frac {y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} [/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] Slope, m = \frac {4 - (-2)}{-1 -2} [/tex]

[tex] Slope, m = \frac {4 + 2}{-1 -2} [/tex]

[tex] Slope, m = \frac {6}{-3} [/tex]

Slope, m = -2

Next, we would use the following formula to find the equation of the line;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substituting into the formula, we have;

y - (-2) = -2(x - 2)

y + 2 = -2x + 4

y = -2x + 4 - 2

y = -2x + 2 = mx + c
