The lifespan (in days) of the common housefly is best modeled using a normal curve having mean 22 days and standard deviation 5. Suppose a sample of 25 common houseflies are selected at random. Would it be unusual for this sample mean to be less than 19 days?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, it would be unusual.

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.

If [tex]Z \leq -2[/tex] or [tex]Z \geq 2[/tex], the outcome X is considered unusual.

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 = 22, \sigma = 5, n = 25, s = \frac{5}{\sqrt{25}} = 1[/tex]

Would it be unusual for this sample mean to be less than 19 days?

We have to find Z when X = 19. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{19 - 22}{1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3 \leq -2[/tex], so yes, the sample mean being less than 19 days would be considered an unusual outcome.

A nutritionist wants to determine how much time nationally people spend eating and drinking. Suppose for a random sample of 1082 people age 15 or​ older, the mean amount of time spent eating or drinking per day is 1.53 hours with a standard deviation of 0.71 hour.

a. Determine and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of time Americans age 15 or older spend eating and drinking each day
b. The nutritionist is 95% confident that the amount of time spent eating or drinking per day for any individual is between_________and_________hours.
c. There is a 95% probability that the mean amount of time spent eating or drinking per day is between and hours.
d. The nutritionist is 95% confident that the mean amount of time spent eating or drinking per day is between_______and_____________

Answers

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of time Americans age 15 or older spend eating and drinking each day is (1.49, 1.57).

d) The nutritionist is 95% confident that the mean amount of time spent eating or drinking per day for any individual is between 1.49 and 1.57 hours.

(c and b can not be concluded from the confidence interval)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 95% 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=1.53.

The sample size is N=1082.

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{0.71}{\sqrt{1082}}=\dfrac{0.71}{32.89}=0.022[/tex]

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

[tex]df=n-1=1082-1=1081[/tex]

The t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 1081 degrees of freedom is t=1.962.

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

[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_M=1.962 \cdot 0.022=0.042[/tex]

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

[tex]LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 1.53-0.042=1.49\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 1.53+0.042=1.57[/tex][tex]LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 1.53-0.042=1.49\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 1.53+0.042=1.57[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is (1.49, 1.57).

10. You just hung a picture twelve inches above the wall trim. Your friend thinks the picture looks
crooked. Use what you know about parallel lines and transversals to determine if the picture is level.
Step 1: You don't have a level, but you are in luck. You know the wall trim is level. You have a
protractor and the sun is casting a shadow on the wall. Describe how you can determine if the picture
is level. (3 points)

Answers

Answer:

The angles measured between the shadow and the wall trim and the shadow and the top or bottom of the picture should be equal if the picture is level

Step-by-step explanation:

Whereby the picture is 12 inches above the wall trim and the Sun is casting a shadow on the wall, therefore, the edges of the shadow of a straight edged object is straight

If the picture is level, the shadow cast by the sun is transversal to the wall trim and the line formed by extending the bottom or top of the picture in the direction of the shadow. That is, if the picture is parallel, the shadow cast by the Sun on the wall is transversal to the picture and the wall trim if or when the shadow eventually crosses the picture

With the protractor, the angle between the shadow and the wall trim and the shadow and the top or bottom is measured

The angles measured should be the same if the picture is level.

Suppose you want to mail a box with square sides so that its dimensions are h by h by w and its girth is 2 h plus 2 w. What dimensions will give the box its largest​ volume?

Answers

Answer:

18×18×36

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question

108≥ 4h + w

Volume V is given by

V = wh^2

⇒V= (108-4h)h^2

⇒V= 108h^2 - 4h^3

Now differentiating and keeping = 0 we get

V' = 216h - 12h^2 = 0

h = 216/12 = 18

w = 108 - 4×18 = 36

V = 36×18^2 = 11664 from a box of 18×18×36.

8. What is the circumference of a circle in terms of , if it has a radius of 3.5 in?
(in terms of means do not substitute 3.14 for pi, leave the symbol in the final answer)

Answers

Answer:

Answer:-

a) The circumference of the circle  C = 21.98 m

b) The circumference of the circle  C = 37.68 ft

c)  The circumference of the circle  C = 40.82 km

d) The radius of the circle = r = 11 c.m

    The Diameter of the circle 'd' = 2(r) = 2(11) =22 c.m

e) The circumference of the circle = 21.98 inches

  Step-by-step explanation:

a)  In First diagram

Given radius of the circle 'r' = 7.1 m

  The circumference of the circle  C = 2πr

                                                            C = 2 (3.14) (7.1)

                                                            C = 21.98 m

The circumference of the circle  C = 21.98 m

b) In second diagram

Given diameter of the circle 'd' = 12 ft

   The circumference of the circle  C = 2πr

                                                            C = π(2 r)

                                       Diameter = 2 X radius

                                               d = 2 r

 The circumference of the circle  C = πd

                                                          C = 3.14 ×12

The circumference of the circle  C = 37.68 ft

c)

Given diameter of the circle 'd' = 13 km

   The circumference of the circle  C = 2πr

                                                            C = π(2 r)

                                       Diameter = 2 X radius

                                               d = 2 r

 The circumference of the circle  C = πd

                                                          C = 3.14 ×13

 The circumference of the circle  C = 40.82 km

   

7) The circumference of the circle  C = 2πr

    Given The circumference of a circle is 34.54 cm

          Now       2πr = 34.54

                   2(3.14) r = 34.54

                           [tex]r = \frac{34.54}{3.14} = 11[/tex]

   The radius of the circle = r = 11 c.m

    The Diameter of the circle 'd' = 2(r) = 2(11) =22 c.m

8) Given radius of the circle 'r' = 3.5 inches

   The circumference of the circle  C = 2πr

                                                            C = 2 (3.14) (3.5)

                                                            C = 21.98

  The circumference of the circle = 21.98 inches

And replacing we got:

[tex] m=\frac{4-6}{8-3}= -\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

And for this case we can use the first point to find the intercept like this:

And then the line equation would be given by:

[tex] y = -\frac{2}{5}x +\frac{36}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following two points given:

[tex] (x_1 =2, y_1 = 6), (x_2 = 2, y_2 = 4)[/tex]

And for this case we want an equation for a line with the two points given by:

[tex] y = mx+b[/tex]

Wher m is the slope and b the y intercept. We can find the slope with this formula:

[tex] m =\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] m=\frac{4-6}{8-3}= -\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

And for this case we can use the first point to find the intercept like this:

[tex] 6 = -\frac{2}{5}(3) +b[/tex]

And solving we got:
