In a study on the time that
a student required to obtain a college degree is randomly selected to 80
students and it is discovered that they have an average of 4.8 years (according to data from the National
Center for Education Statistics). Assuming s 2.2 years, construct an estimate of a confidence interval of the population mean. The confidence interval
the result contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years?

Answers

Answer 1

The 95% confidence interval of the population mean, in years, is (4.3, 5.3). 4 years is not part of the confidence interval, which means that it contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years.

-----------------------------

To solve this question, we need to find the confidence interval for the amount of time it takes the students to get the degree.

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

-----------------------------

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 80 - 1 = 79

-----------------------------

95% confidence interval

Standard level of confidence, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 79 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.9905.

-----------------------------

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9905\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{80}} = 0.5[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

-----------------------------

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.8 - 0.3 = 4.3 years.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.8 + 0.3 = 5.3 years.

-----------------------------

The 95% confidence interval of the population mean, in years, is (4.3, 5.3). 4 years is not part of the confidence interval, which means that it contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years.

A local food bank uses volunteers to staff the kitchen. If there are 30 college students working there out of a total of 100 volunteers, what is the probability that in a sample of 10 volunteers, 4 of them are college students? Four decimal places please!

Answers

When you form a 10 people sample from a pool of large amount with equal probabilities, let s denote student and n denote non student, each spot in the sample has 1/2 chance to be s or n so each event has 1/2*1/2*1/2…. =(1/2)^10 probability. For example: snsnsnnnns. And intuitively you should see that there have a permutation 2^10 = 1024 ways to line them up (permutation with repetition like a suitcase 3-line passcode lock with 10 numbers on each line, you will have exactly 10*10*10 ways to choose passcodes, which is 10^3=1000 ways) , and each way has a probability a equal probability which is 1/1024 which is (1/2)^10.

Now let’s pick 4 students that we know for sure, mark 10 spots and have them walk randomly into each taking exactly 1 spot. There are C (10,4) possible combinations of choosing 4 people to walk in, for example 4s taking spot 3,6,7,10; 2,5,7,8; … C(10,4) = 210 ways. This represents that in a 10 spot line with 4 students and 6 non students in it, no matter how they are arranged there are 210 ways they line up. Now since each way has a prob 1/1024 we have a probability of 210 ways multiply by 1/1024 which = 55/256.

That was the case with large pool of equal number of S and N let’s make it a more realistic say 50 students and 50 non students. (1/2 derived from 50/100 or 5/10)

So now we have 30 students and 70 non students pool, the answer should be (3/10)^4*(7/10) ^6 which is the probability of 4 students and 6 non students lined up in some way while choosing them from the pool. Here we can also see that each 10 people sample no longer have the same probability. And that number came out to be 0.0081*0.117649=0.00095. And again there are 210 ways of arranging them so the probability is 210 ways multiply by 0.00095 which is 20%. This is the Answer.

A right pyramid with a square base has
volume of 252 cubic centimeters. The
length of one of the sides of its base is 6
centimeters. Rounded to the nearest
centimeter, what is the vertical height of
the pyramid?

Answers

Hey there!

A right pyramid with a square base just means that it isn't slanted all funny. If you create a triangle with a point on one of the edges of the base, the center of the base, and the top of the pyramid, it would be a right triangle.

To find the volume of a right pyramid, you just take the base area, multiply it by the height, and then divide by three.

However, we are looking for the height. We have been given, so we will just go backwards.

252×3=756 (multiply instead of divide)

6×6=36 (base is a square, so you just square 6. This is our base area)

756/36=21

So, the vertical height of the pyramid is 21 cubic centimeters.

The equations are in slope-intercept form, which is written as y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So, first, find the slope. The line increases by 4 every unit; this means the slope is 4. Then, find the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis. Since the line crosses at -5, that is the b value. Therefore, the final answer is y=4x-5.

Sqrt8 (Sqrt2 - x) = 11

Answers

Answer:[tex]\frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, let's get rid of the parentheses. We can multiply it out to get [tex]\sqrt{16}-x\sqrt{8} =11[/tex]. We know that the square root of 16 is ±4, so now our equation is ±4 - [tex]x\sqrt{8}[/tex]=11. I'm guessing since the problem only has one solution it's most likely only positive 4, so let's revise our equation to 4 - [tex]x\sqrt{8}[/tex]=11. We can use inverse operations to make the a little easier to solve: -7= [tex]x\sqrt{8}[/tex]. We divide both sides by [tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex] to get [tex]\frac{-7}{\sqrt{8} } =x[/tex], which we can rationalize (remove the square root from the denominator so that it's a proper answer) by multiplying by [tex]\frac{\sqrt{8} }{\sqrt{8} }[/tex] (which is equal to one so we can use it) which is equal to [tex]\frac{-7\sqrt{8} }{8}[/tex]. Let's finish this by simplifying it. [tex]\sqrt{8} =2\sqrt{2}[/tex] (2x[tex]2^{2}[/tex]). We can simplify it further by simplifying the 2, making it [tex]\frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}[/tex].

Answer:

x = -7 sqrt(2)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sqrt8 (Sqrt2 - x) = 11

Simplify sqrt(8) = sqrt(4*2) = 2 sqrt(2)

2 sqrt(2) (Sqrt2 - x) = 11

Distribute

2 *2 - 2 sqrt(2) x = 11

4 - 2 sqrt(2)x = 11

Subtract 4 from each side

4-2sqrt(2)x -4 = 11-4

-2 sqrt(2)x = 7

Divide each side by -2 sqrt(2)

-2 sqrt(2)x /-2 sqrt(2) = 7/ -2 sqrt(2)

x = - 7/ 2 sqrt(2)

Multiply top and bottom by sqrt(2)

x = - 7/ 2 sqrt(2)  * sqrt(2)/ sqrt(2)

x = -7 sqrt(2)/4

B) 3

D) 2

Answers

Answer:

-2pi/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2 cos 3(x + 2π∕3) +1

y = A sin(B(x + C)) + D  

amplitude is A

period is 2π/B

phase shift is C (positive is to the left)

vertical shift is D

We have a shift to the left of 2 pi /3

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard cosine function has the form:

[tex]\displaystyle y = a\cos (b(x-c)) + d[/tex]

Where |a| is the amplitude, 2π / b is the period, c is the phase shift, and d is the vertical shift.

We have the function:

[tex]\displaystyle y = 2 \cos 3\left(x + \frac{2\pi}{3}\right) + 1[/tex]

We can rewrite this as:

[tex]\displaystyle y = \left(2\right)\cos 3\left(x - \left(-\frac{2\pi}{3}\right)\right) + 1[/tex]

Therefore, a = 2, b = 3, c = -2π/3, and d = 1.

Our phase shift is represented by c. Thus, the phase shift is -2π/3.

Our answer is A.
