Confidence Interval Application Many people feel that the drying of pavement marking paint is much too slow. You spend several days looking for the fastest drying paint you can find; you plan to measure the time (in seconds) for this paint to dry. From information provided by the paint supplier, you believe the time to dry is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 4 seconds. How many paint samples would you need to test to be able to obtain an estimate of paint drying time that is within 1.5 seconds of the actual mean drying time with a probability of 97%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample size is  [tex]n =33[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The margin of error is E  =  1.5 seconds

   The standard deviation is  s =  4 seconds

 Given that the confidence level is 97% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\alpha =( 100 -97)\%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.03[/tex]

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

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  2.17[/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

    [tex]n =[ \frac{Z_{\frac{\sigma }{2 } } * \sigma }{E} ]^2[/tex]

=> [tex]n =[ \frac{2.17 * 4 }{1.5} ]^2[/tex]

=>  [tex]n =33[/tex]

QUESTION 1 Let’s say that an investigator is interested in the effects of caring for a person with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) on physical and mental health. In particular, the researcher wants to know whether ALS caregivers suffer from clinically elevated levels of depression. They administer the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to 20 ALS caregivers. Scores on the BDI range from zero to 40. Scores at or above 25 are considered to reflect clinically significant levels of depression. The mean depression score for the 20 caregivers in the sample is 28. The standard deviation for this sample is 3.0. Do these data support the hypothesis that the mean depression score for ALS caregivers is significantly higher than the cutoff score for depression of 25? This example is not a perfect example of a "true experiment," so the independent and dependent variable are not as clearly identifiable as some other examples. In this example, what is the dependent/outcome variable? Beck Depression Inventory scores How many ALS caregivers there are in the study Whether the caregivers are taking care of someone who has ALS vs. cancer The ALS caregivers vs. the national norms for adults

Answers

Answer:

The decision rule is

Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the data support the hypothesis that the mean depression score for ALS caregivers is significantly higher than the cutoff score for depression of 25

dependent/outcome variable

Generally the dependent variable is  Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores because the score are dependent on the ALS caregivers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n = 20

  The population mean is  [tex]\mu  =  25[/tex]

   The sample mean is  [tex]\= x  = 28[/tex]

  The standard deviation is  [tex] s  =  3.0[/tex]

  The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o  :  \mu  =  25[/tex]

  The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a  :  \mu  >  25[/tex]

  Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]z= \frac{ 28 -25 }{ \frac{3.0}{\sqrt{20 } } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]z=  4.47[/tex]

 Generally the probability of  z from the z- table is

   [tex]p-value  =  P(Z >  4.47) =  0.000[/tex]

From the values obtained we see that  [tex]p-value  <  \alpha[/tex] hence

The decision rule is

Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the data support the hypothesis that the mean depression score for ALS caregivers is significantly higher than the cutoff score for depression of 25

Generally the dependent variable is  Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores because the score are dependent on the ALS caregivers

Determine the intercepts of the line
X-intercept: (__ , __)
Y-intercept: (__, __)

Answers

Answer:

x-intercept: (-40, 0)

y-intercept: (0, 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0. By looking at the graph, you can tell when y = 0, x = - 40. The x-intercept is the point that crosses the x-axis.

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. By looking at the graph, you can tell y = 15 when x =0. The y-intercept is the point that crosses the y-axis.

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is -75. What is the smallest number

Answers

Answer:

-27

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's call the smallest number: n

Then, the next two consecutive odd numbers would be:

n+2 and n+4 (this is because it's only odd numbers so we add 2)

We know the sum of these is −75 so we can write this equation and solve for n:

n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = -75

n + n + 2 + n + 4 = -75

n + n + n + 2 + 4 = -75

n + n + n + 6 = -75

1n + 1n + 1n + 6 = -75

3n + 6 = -75        Subtract 6 from each side, which cancels the 6 on the left.

3n + 6 - 6 = -75 - 6

3n = -75 - 6

3n = -81       Divide each side by 3

3n/3 = -81/3

n = -81/3

n = -27

n + 2 = -27 + 2 = -25

n + 4 = -27 + 4 = -23

The 3 consecutive odd integers would be:

-27, -25, -23

Let's check our work:

-27 + -25 + -23 = -75    We are correct!

The smallest number is -27

What is Decimal ?

Decimals are one of the types of numbers, which has a whole number and the fractional part separated by a decimal point.

Here, given value

0.02 = 002/100

        = 2/100

On multiply numerator and denominator by 10, we get

0.02 = 20/1000

or 20 = 1000 X 0.02

Thus, 20 is 1000 times of 0.02.
