Based on a random sample of 50, a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion was computed. Holding everything else constant, which of the following will reduce the length of the confidence interval by half? (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): A. Quadruple the sample size. B. Change the confidence level to 68%. C. Double the sample size. D. Change the confidence level to 99.7%. E. Decrease the sample proportion by half.

Answers

Answer 1

The length of the confidence interval is the margin of error, which is the ratio of the standard deviation and the square root of sample size. Hence, to reduce the length of confidence interval by half, Quadruple the sample size.

Recall :

Margin of Error = σ/√n

Evaluating an hypothetical scenario :

Let standard deviation, σ = 2

Sample size = 50

Margin of Error = 2/√50 = 0.554

Using Quadruple of the sample size : (50 × 4) = 200 samples

Margin of Error = 2/√200 = 0.277

(0.227 ÷ 0.554) = 0.5

Therefore, increasing the sample size, reduces the margin of error. Hence, using quadruple the sample size, will reduce the margin of error by half.

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The correct table is B.

What are Percentages?

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

Given the number of students who play different sports as,

Basketball = 4

Football = 7

Lacrosse = 3

Soccer = 8

Volleyball = 3

Now, the percentage of students for each sport can be written as,

Basketball = 4/25 = 0.16

Football = 7/25 = 0.28

Lacrosse = 3/25 = 0.12

Soccer = 8/25 = 0.32

Volleyball = 3/25 = 0.12

Hence, the correct table is B.

How many women must be randomly selected to estimate the mean weight of women in one age group? We want 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 3.7 lbs of the populations mean, and population standard deviation is known to be 28 lbs.

Answers

Answer:

155 women must be randomly selected.

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 Z-table as such z has a p-value 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.

The population standard deviation is known to be 28 lbs.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 28[/tex]

We want 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 3.7 lbs of the populations mean. How many women must be sampled?

This is n for which M = 3.7. So

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

[tex]3.7 = 1.645\frac{28}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]3.7\sqrt{n} = 1.645*28[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*28}{3.7}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*28}{3.7})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 154.97[/tex]

An object travels along the x-axis so that its position after t seconds is given by x(t) = 2t2 – 5t – 18 for all times t such that t ≥ 0.

Which inequality describes all times t for which the object is traveling toward the right?

Answers

the function is given, and it's value is where the object is ("how far to the right").

so as long as it rises (going more right), this will be apply.

in the screenshot I graphed the function. of course t is graphed as x and "along the x-axis" is graphed as y, but the pattern is the same anyways.

for the first 1.25 seconds the object goes to the left, and after that always to the right.

since we look at t to calculate x, t effectively takes the role of the important variable that is normally given to x. the calculation pattern are just the same. so let's find the lowest point of this function by calculating it out.

x(t) = 2t² – 5t – 18

x'(t) = 4t -5

x'(t) = 0

0 = 4t -5

5 = 4t

1.25 = t

plugging it into the second derivative

x''(t) = 4

x''(1.25) = 4

it's positive, so at t=1.25 there is a low point

(of course the second derivative is constant anyways.)

the object is traveling toward the right

the object is traveling toward the rightfor t > 1.25

The object is moving to the right, for t > 1.25, the object is moving in a rightward direction.

What is inequality?

It is defined as the expression in mathematics in which both sides are not equal they have mathematical signs either less than or greater than known as inequality.

We have:

An object travels along the x-axis so that its position after t seconds is given by:

x(t) = 2t² – 5t – 18

x'(t) = 4t - 5

x'(t) = 0

4t -5 = 0

t = 5/4 = 1.25 seconds

x''(t) = 4

x''(1.25) = 4

x''(1.25) > 0

At t = 1.25 the object travels at a low point.

Thus, the object is moving to the right, for t > 1.25, the object is moving in a rightward direction.

Which of the following describes a positive correlation?

As the number of hours spent on homework increases, the tests scores increase.

As the number of apples eaten per year increases, the number of times visiting the doctor every year remains the same.

As the number of times going to bed early increases, the number of times waking up late decreases.

The amount of time a team spent practicing increases, the number of games lost in a season decreases.
THIS IS A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Answers

Answer:

First Choice: As the number of hours spent on homework increases, the tests scores increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of a positive correlation  is a relationship between two given variables, in which both variables are moving in the same direction. This can mean when one variable increases and the other variable increases, too, or one variable decreases and the other decreases as well.

The first choice is a positive correlation because both variables are changing (increasing) in the same direction. As you spend more time on homework, you're likely to get a higher test score.

The second choice cannot be a positive correlation because only one variable is having some kind of change (increasing). The doctor visits amount remains the same, so we can call this a zero-correlation relationship because the number of apples eaten yearly doesn't affect the amount of doctor visits. An apple a day keeps the doctor a way is just a proverb, not to be taken literally.

The third choice cannot be a positive correlation because the two variables are going different directions. Even though the number of times going to bed early is increasing, the number of times waking up late decreases, which is not moving in the same direction as the other variable.

The fourth choice cannot be a positive correlation because, similarly to the third choice, the two variables are going different directions. One variable is increasing, which is the amount of practice time. Meanwhile, the other variable is decreasing (going in the opposite direction), which is the number of games lost in a season.

The answer is C. I tried factoring the equation itself, and I got the correct answer but I noticed that it isn’t one of the options. Therefore, the options are partly factored but not completely. I decided to just eliminate each of the multiple choice options. I got C after expanding it. Firstly, we need to distribute the 3 to (x-2). This gives us (3x-6)(x-2). After that, we can use the FOIL method. 3x^2 - 6x -6x + 12 is the same as 3x^2 - 12x + 12.

In case you want to see the fully factored polynomial, I won’t explain the steps since you don’t need it here, but it’s 3(x-2)^2. This is equivalent to 3(x-2)(x-2). That’s the same as C.

A critical value is the value that best estimates a population parameter.

Answers

Answer:

A. A critical value is how far away our sample statistic can be from the true population parameter with a certain level of confidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test of a hypothesis:

When we are testing a hypothesis, we have a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis, and the conclusion depends on the test statistic, given by:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

The test statistic measures the number of standard errors that we have to move away from the sample mean, and the critical value is how much we can be far from the population parameter with a certain level of confidence, that is, before a certain value we do not reject the null hypothesis, after the value we reject, and this value is the critical value, and thus the correct answer is given by option a.

The increase in length of an aluminum rod is twice the increase in length of an Invar rod with only a third of the temperature increase. Find the ratio of the lengths of the two rods.

Answers

Answer:

the ratio of lengths of the two rods, Aluminum to Invar is 11.27

Step-by-step explanation:

coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum, [tex]\alpha _{Al} = 23 \times 10^{-6} /K[/tex]

Coefficient of linear expansion of Invar, [tex]\alpha _{Iv} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}/K[/tex]

Linear thermal expansion is given as;

[tex]\Delta L = L_0 \times \alpha\times \Delta T\\\\where;\\\\L_0 \ is \ the \ original \ length \ of \ the \ metal\\\\\Delta L \ is \ the \ increase \ in \ length[/tex]

The increase in length of Invar is given as;

[tex]\Delta L_{Iv} = L_0_{Iv} \times \alpha _{Iv}\times \Delta T_{Iv}[/tex]

The increase in length of the Aluminum;

[tex]\Delta L_{ Al} = L_0_{Al} \times \alpha _{Al} \times \Delta T_{Al}\\\\from \ the\ given \ question, \ the \ relationship \ between \ the \ rods \ is \ given \ as\\\\ L_0_{Al} \times \alpha _{Al} \times \frac{1}{3} \Delta T_{Iv}= 2( L_0_{Iv} \times \alpha _{Iv} \times \Delta T_{Iv})\\\\ L_0_{Al} \times \alpha _{Al} \times \Delta T_{Iv}= 6( L_0_{Iv} \times \alpha _{Iv} \times \Delta T_{Iv})\\\\ L_0_{Al} \times \alpha _{Al} \times \Delta T_{Iv} = 6L_0_{Iv} \times 6\alpha _{Iv} \times 6 \Delta T_{Iv}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{L_0_{Al}}{6L_0_{Iv} } = \frac{6\alpha _{Iv} \ \times \ 6 \Delta T_{Iv}}{\alpha _{Al} \ \times \ \Delta T_{Iv}} \\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{6L_0_{Iv} } = \frac{6\alpha _{Iv} \ \times \ 6}{\alpha _{Al} \ } \\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{L_0_{Iv} } = 6^3(\frac{\alpha _{Iv} }{\alpha _{Al} } )\\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{L_0_{Iv} } = 6^3(\frac{1.2 \times 10^{-6} }{23\times 10^{-6} } )\\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{L_0_{Iv} } = 6^3(\frac{1.2}{23} )\\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{L_0_{Iv} } = \frac{259.2}{23} \\\\\frac{L_0_{Al}}{L_0_{Iv} } = 11.27[/tex]

Therefore, the ratio of lengths of the two rods, Aluminum to Invar is 11.27

The ratio of the lengths of the two rods which is length of aluminum to length of Invar rod is; 11.27

Formula for linear thermal expansion is;

ΔL = L × α × ΔT

Where;

ΔL is change in original length

L is original length

α is coefficient of linear expansion

ΔT is change in temperature

We are told that increase in length of aluminum rod is twice the increase in length of an Invar rod with only a third of the temperature increase.

Thus;

ΔL = 2ΔL

ΔT for the aluminum rod = ⅓ΔT for the Invar rod.

Thus, we have;

L_al × α_al × ⅓ΔT = 2L_in × 2α_in × 2ΔT

ΔT will cancel out to give;

⅓(L_al × α_al) = 2L_in × 2α_in × 2

Multiply both sides by 3 to get;

(L_al × α_al) = 6L_in × 6α_in × 6

From online tables, the linear coefficient of expansion of aluminum is 23 × 10^(-6) C¯¹

While the coefficient of thermal expansion for Invar rod is 1.2 × 10^(-6) K¯¹

Thus;

L_al × 23 × 10^(-6) = 6L_in × (6 × 1.2 × 10^(-6)) × 6

L_al/L_in = (6 × 6 × 1.2 × 10^(-6) × 6)/(23 × 10^(-6))

L_al/L_in = 11.27

What do you mean by normal distribution ?

A probability distribution known as a "normal distribution" shows that data are more likely to occur when they are close to the mean than when they are far from the mean.

Let assume the time taken for a one way trip be x .

x ⇒ N( μ , σ ²)

x  ⇒ N( 24 , 3.8 ²)

a)

The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour or 30 minutes will be :

P ( x ≥ 30)

= P [ (x - μ) / σ ≥ (30 - μ) / σ ]

We know that , (x - μ) / σ = z.

= P [ z ≥ (30 - 24) / 3.8)]

= P [ z ≥ 1.578 ]

= 1 - P [  z ≤ 1.578 ]

Now , using the standard normal table :

P ( x ≥ 30)

= 1 - 0.9394

= 0.0606

b)

The percentage of the time the lawyer is late for work will be :

P ( x  ≥ 15)

= P [ z ≥ -2.368 ]

= P [  z ≤ 2.368]

= 0.9918

or

99.18%

c)

The probability that lawyer misses coffee :

P ( 15 < x < 25 ) = P ( x < 25 ) - P ( x < 15)

= P [  z < 0.263] - P ( z < -2.368)

or

= 0.3659

d)

The length of time above which we find the slowest 10​% of trips :

P( x ≥ X ) ≤ 0.10

=  0.5438

e)

Let's assume that y represents the number of trips that takes at least half hour.

y ⇒ B ( n , p)

y ⇒ B ( 3 , 0.0606)

So , the probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half

1/2 hour is :

P ( Y = 2 )

= 3C2 × (0.0606)² × ( 1 - 0.0606)

= 0.0103

Therefore , the answers are :

a) The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour will be 0.0606.

b) The percentage of time the lawyer is late for work will be 99.18%.

c) The probability that lawyer misses coffee will be 0.3659.

d) The length of time above which we find the slowest 10​% of trips will be 0.5438.

e) The probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half

1/2 hour is 0.0103.
