Answers

Answer:

The critical values of F at 95% confidence are 0.359 and 2.788.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 21 days of sales at Store A and a sample of 16 days of sales at Store B indicated the following:

Store A                     Store B    

nA = 21                      nB = 16

SA = 28.284              SB = 20

And we are interested in determining whether or not the variances of the sales at two small grocery stores are equal.

AS we know that when we are interested in variances of two samples, we use F-test for doing hypothesis testing.

The test statistics for F-test is =  [tex]\frac{S_A^{2} }{S_B^{2} } \times \frac{\sigma_B^{2} }{\sigma_A^{2} }[/tex]  ~ [tex]F__n_A_-_1,_ n_B_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]S_A[/tex] and [tex]S_B[/tex] are sample standard deviations.

Now, the critical values of F at 2.5% (because two-tailed test) level of significance from F-table at degrees of freedom (21 - 1, 16 - 1) = (20, 15) are given as;

2.788 for right-part and 0.359 for the left-part.

Answers

Answer: ( 77.27 , 83.93)

Therefore at 95% confidence/prediction interval is

= ( 77.27 , 83.93)

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 = 80.6 words per minute

Standard deviation r = 7.2

Number of samples n = 18

Confidence interval = 95%

z(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

80.6+/-1.96(7.2/√18)

80.6+/-1.96(1.697056274847)

80.6 +/- 3.33

= ( 77.27 , 83.93)

Therefore at 95% confidence/prediction interval is

= ( 77.27 , 83.93)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The child dependency ratio of a population is defined as the number of children (Under 15 years) divided by the working-age population (15–64 years old).

[tex]\mathrm{ Child}\;\mathrm{ dependency}\;\mathrm{ ratio}=\dfrac{{\mathrm{ Population}\,\left( \text{Under 15} \right)}}{{\mathrm{ Population}\,\left( {15-64} \right)}}\times 100[/tex]

A foundry has been commissioned to make souvenir coins. The coins are to be made from an alloy that is 40% silver. The foundry has on hand two alloys, one with 50% silver content and one with a 25% silver content. How many kilograms of each alloy should be used to make 10 kilograms of the 40% silver alloy?

Answers

Answer:

the amount of 50% silver alloy is 6 kilograms and the amount of 25% silver alloy is (10-6)= 4 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the weight of the alloy with 50% silver content is x  kilograms.

As, the weight of the mixed alloy should be 10 kilograms, so the weight of the alloy with 25% silver content will be:  kilograms

The percentage of silver content in the mixed alloy is 40%. So the equation will be calculated as

[tex]0.5x+0.25(10-x)=0.4\times10\\0.5x+2.5-0.25x=4\\0.25x=1.5\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{1.5}{0.25} = 6[/tex]

So, the amount of 50% silver alloy is 6 kilograms and the amount of 25% silver alloy is (10-6)= 4 kilograms.

Solve the system of equations by using substitution

Y=2x+3
Y=x+2

Answers

Y = 2x + 3Y = x + 2

Since our first equation reads y = 2x + 3, we can substitute a 2x + 3

in for y in our second equation and then solve from there.

So we have 2x + 3 = x + 2.

Now subtract x from both sides to get x + 3 = 2.

Now subtract 3 from both sides to get x = -1.

To find y, plug -1 back into either equation.

I have chosen to plug it into the second.

So we have y = (-1) + 2 which simplifies to 1.

So our solution to this system is (-1, 1).

Another game you've set up at casino night involves rolling a fair six-sided die followed by tossing a fair coin. In this game, players earn points

depending on the number they get on the die and which side of the coin turns up. For example, the player earns 5 points for getting (2, tails).

Question 1

Find the total number of possible outcomes in each trial of this game.

Answers

Answer:

The number of possible outcomes in each trial of this game is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rolling of a 6 sided die followed by tossing of a fair coin

Required

Number of possible outcomes

The first step is to list out the possible outcomes of rolling a die and tossing a coin

Rolling a fair die = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Tossing a coin = {Head, Tail}

Let Head be represented by H and Tail be represented by T;

So,

Rolling a fair die = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Tossing a coin = {H, T}

The question states that a roll of a 6 sided die is followed by a toss of a fair coin

This means that each trial is {A roll of die and A toss of coin}

So, the sample space is as follows

Sample Space = {1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T}

Number of outcomes in the sample space is 12.

Hence, the number of possible outcomes in each trial of this game is 12

An HP laser printer is advertised to print text documents at a speed of 18 ppm (pages per minute). The manufacturer tells you that the printing speed is actually a Normal random variable with a mean of 17.48 ppm and a standard deviation of 3.25 ppm. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 10 printers.
Using the information about the distribution of the printing speeds given by the manufacturer, find the probability that the mean printing speed of the sample is greater than 18.06 ppm. (Please carry answers to at least six decimal places in intermediate steps. Give your final answer to the nearest three decimal places). Probability (as a proportion)

Answers

Answer:

0.288

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 17.48, \sigma = 3.25, n = 10, s = \frac{3.25}{\sqrt{10}} = 1.027740[/tex]

Find the probability that the mean printing speed of the sample is greater than 18.06 ppm.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 18.06. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{18.06 - 17.48}{1.027740}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.56[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.56[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.712

1 - 0.712 = 0.288

The answer is 0.288

A certain test preparation course is designed to help students improve their scores on the LSAT exam. A mock exam is given at the beginning and end of the course to determine the effectiveness of the course. The following measurements are the net change in 4 students' scores on the exam after completing the course: 12,7,13,11 Using these data, construct a 80% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 3 of 4 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the average net change is (8.596, 12.904).

Critical value t=1.638.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sample:

[tex]M=\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\,x_i\\\\\\M=\dfrac{1}{4}(12+7+13+11)\\\\\\M=\dfrac{43}{4}\\\\\\M=10.75\\\\\\s=\dfrac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n\,(x_i-M)^2\\\\\\s=\dfrac{1}{3}((12-10.75)^2+(7-10.75)^2+(13-10.75)^2+(11-10.75)^2)\\\\\\s=\dfrac{20.75}{3}\\\\\\s=6.92\\\\\\[/tex]

We have to calculate a 80% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=10.75.

The sample size is N=4.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{2.63}{\sqrt{4}}=\dfrac{2.63}{2}=1.315[/tex]

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

[tex]df=n-1=4-1=3[/tex]

The t-value for a 80% confidence interval and 3 degrees of freedom is t=1.638.

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

[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_M=1.638 \cdot 1.315=2.154[/tex]

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

[tex]LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 10.75-2.154=8.596\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 10.75+2.154=12.904[/tex]

The 80% confidence interval for the average net change is (8.596, 12.904).

c(ii) Probability that the fatality resulted from fires and explosions = 0.0249

Step-by-step explanation:

Data on U.S, Work-Related fatalities by cause follow (The World Almanac, 2012)

Cause of Fatality | Number of Fatalities Transportation Incidents | 1795

Assaults and violent acts | 837

Contacts with objects and equipment | 741

Falls | 645

Exposure to harmful substances | 404

Fires and explosions | 113

Total number of fatalities = 1795+837+741+645+404+113 = 4,535

Assume that a fatality will be randomly chosen from this population.

a. What is the probability the fatality resulted from a fall?

The probabilty of an event is given mathematically as the number of elements in that event divided by the Total number of elements in the sample space.

P(E) = n(E) ÷ n(S)

Probability the fatality resulted from a fall = (645/4535) = 0.14223 = 0.1422

b. What is the probability the fatality resulted from a transportation incident?

Probability the fatality resulted from a transportation incident = (1795/4535) = 0.39581 = 0.3958

c(i) What cause of fatality is least likely to occur?

The cause of fatality that is least likely to occur is the cause of fatality with the lowest frequency or number of fatalities. And this is fatality due to fires and explosions with the lowest fatalities of 113

c(ii). What is the probability the fatality resulted from this cause?

This is the probability that the fatality resulted from fires and explosions.

Probability that the fatality resulted from fires and explosions = (113/4535) = 0.02492 = 0.0249

A plastic water bottle blown into the street can travel down a stormwater sewer, into rivers and streams, and out into the ocean. Since plastic never completely biodegrades, almost every piece of plastic ever produced is still in the environment in some form.Types of PlasticConsumer products. Plastic debris comes in many different types and sizes that we buy and use ourselves, including disposable water bottles, plastic grocery bags, fishing net, fishing line, plastic cups and lids, packaging, water balloons, and straws. In the marine environment, these types of debris can harm wildlife when animals mistake plastic for food, or accidentally entangle themselves in plastic littering our shorelines or floating in the ocean.Microplastics. Plastic does not biodegrade. Instead, once discarded into the environment, it breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces the longer it is exposed to the sun; a process called photodegradation. Any plastic particle less than 5 mm in diameter is categorized as a microplastic. Although small, these plastic pieces can have huge effects on ocean health.Effects of PlasticPlastic poses a serious threat to our oceans and waterways. Birds, turtles, fish, and other marine life ingest the plastic pieces, mistaking them for fish eggs, plankton, jellyfish, or other food sources. Every year, hundreds of thousands of sea creatures, both large and small, die from complications relating to plastic debristhey may have a stomach full of plastic that they cannot digest, or they may become fatally entangled in debris.Harmful chemical pollutants can also attach to plastics and add to the toxicity of plastic debris consumed by animals. Risks to human health from microplastics in seafood are currently being assessed.Read the article Ocean Plastics.What is one of the authors purposes in writing this piece?A.) to persuade people to use only certain types of plasticsB.) to educate people about why plastic is the most harmful pollutantC.) to convince people that plastics should not be usedD.) to inform people about the negative impacts of plastic pollution
