In an annual report to investors, an investment firm claims that the share price of one of their bond funds had very little variability. The report shows the average price as $15.00 with a variance of 0.19. One of the investors wants to investigate this claim. He takes a random sample of the share prices for 22 days throughout the last year and finds that the standard deviation of the share price is 0.2517. Can the investor conclude that the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05. Assume the population is normally distributed.

Required:
State the null and alternative hypotheses. Round to four decimal places when necessary

Answers

Answer 1

In this question, the variance of the population is tested. From the data given in the exercise, we build the hypothesis, then we find the value of  test statistic and it's respective p-value, to conclude the test. From this, it is found that the conclusion is:

The p-value of the test is 0.0038 < 0.05, which means that the investor can conclude that the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05.

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

Claimed variance of 0.19:

This means that at the null hypothesis, it is tested if the variance is of 0.19, that is:

[tex]H_0: \sigma^2 = 0.19[/tex]

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

Test if the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05.

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the variance is different of the claimed value of 0.19, that is:

[tex]H_1: \sigma^2 \neq 0.19[/tex]

The test statistic for the population standard deviation/variance is:[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{n-1}{\sigma_0^2}s^2[/tex]

In which n is the sample size,  is the value tested for the variance and s is the sample standard deviation.

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

0.19 is tested at the null hypothesis, as the variance:

This means that [tex]\sigma_0^2 = 0.19[/tex]

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

He takes a random sample of the share prices for 22 days throughout the last year and finds that the standard deviation of the share price is 0.2517.

This means that [tex]n = 22, s^2 = (0.2517)^2 = 0.0634[/tex]

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

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{n-1}{\sigma_0^2}s^2[/tex]

[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{21*0.0634}{0.19}[/tex]

[tex]\chi^2 = 7[/tex]

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

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is found using a chi-square for the variance calculator, considering a test statistic of [tex]\chi^2 = 7[/tex] and 22 - 1 = 21 degrees of freedom, and a two-tailed test(test if the mean is different of a value).

Using the calculator, the p-value of the test is 0.0038.

The p-value of the test is 0.0038 < 0.05, which means that the investor can conclude that the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05.

b. What is the probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives?
c. What is the probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives?
d. What is the expected number of defective drives in the sample?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.1287 = 12.87% probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives

b) 0.2092 = 20.92% probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives.

c) 0.6621 = 66.21% probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives.

d) The expected number of defective drives in the sample is 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

For each DVD, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a DVD being defective is independent of any other DVD, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A company that produces DVD drives has a 12% defective rate.

This means that [tex]p = 0.12[/tex]

Let X represent the number of defectives in a random sample of 55 of their drives.

This means that [tex]n = 55[/tex]

a. What is the probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives?

This is [tex]P(X = 8)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{8}.(0.88)^{47} = 0.1287[/tex]

0.1287 = 12.87% probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives.

b. What is the probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives?

This is:

[tex]P(X > 8) = 1 - P(X \leq 8)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X \leq 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{55,0}.(0.12)^{0}.(0.88)^{55} = 0.0009[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{55,1}.(0.12)^{1}.(0.88)^{54} = 0.0066[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{55,2}.(0.12)^{2}.(0.88)^{53} = 0.0244[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{55,3}.(0.12)^{3}.(0.88)^{52} = 0.0588[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{55,4}.(0.12)^{4}.(0.88)^{51} = 0.1043[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{55,5}.(0.12)^{5}.(0.88)^{50} = 0.1450[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{6}.(0.88)^{49} = 0.1648[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{55,7}.(0.12)^{7}.(0.88)^{48} = 0.1573[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{8}.(0.88)^{47} = 0.1287[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X \leq 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) = 0.0009 + 0.0066 + 0.0244 + 0.0588 + 0.1043 + 0.1450 + 0.1648 + 0.1573 + 0.1287 = 0.7908[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 8) = 1 - P(X \leq 8) = 1 - 0.7908 = 0.2092[/tex]

0.2092 = 20.92% probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives.

c. What is the probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives?

This is:

[tex]P(X < 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]

With the values we found in b.

[tex]P(X < 8) = 0.0009 + 0.0066 + 0.0244 + 0.0588 + 0.1043 + 0.1450 + 0.1648 + 0.1573 = 0.6621[/tex]

0.6621 = 66.21% probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives.

d. What is the expected number of defective drives in the sample?

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]E(X) = 55(0.12) = 6.6[/tex]

The expected number of defective drives in the sample is 6.6

Which of the following pairs of functions are inverses of each other?
A. f(x) = 5 + x and g(x) = 5 - x
B. f(x) = 2x -9 and g(x)=x+9/2
C. f(x) = 3-6 and g(x)=x+6/2
D. f(x)= x/3+4 and g(x) = 3x - 4​

Answers

The pair of functions that are inverses of each other is B. f(x) = 2x - 9 and g(x) = x + 9/2.

To determine if two functions are inverses of each other, we need to check if the composition of the functions results in the identity function, which is f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x.

Let's analyze the given options:

A. f(x) = 5 + x and g(x) = 5 - x

To check if they are inverses, we compute f(g(x)) = f(5 - x) = 5 + (5 - x) = 10 - x, which is not equal to x. Similarly, g(f(x)) = g(5 + x) = 5 - (5 + x) = -x, which is also not equal to x. Therefore, these functions are not inverses.

B. f(x) = 2x - 9 and g(x) = x + 9/2

By calculating f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), we find that f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x, which means these functions are inverses of each other.

C. f(x) = 3 - 6 and g(x) = x + 6/2

Similar to option A, we compute f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), and find that they are not equal to x. Hence, these functions are not inverses.

D. f(x) = x/3 + 4 and g(x) = 3x - 4

After evaluating f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), we see that f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x. Therefore, these functions are inverses of each other.

In summary, the pair of functions that are inverses of each other is B. f(x) = 2x - 9 and g(x) = x + 9/2.

A shop sells a particular of video recorder. Assuming that the weekly demand for the video recorder is a Poisson variable with the mean 3, find the probability that the shop sells. . (a) At least 3 in a week. (b) At most 7 in a week. (c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.

b) 0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.

c) 0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.

Step-by-step explanation:

For questions a and b, the Poisson distribution is used, while for question c, the normal approximation is used.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of successes

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The Poisson distribution can be approximated to the normal with [tex]\mu = \lambda, \sigma = \sqrt{\lambda}[/tex], if [tex]\lambda>10[/tex].

Poisson variable with the mean 3

This means that [tex]\lambda= 3[/tex].

(a) At least 3 in a week.

This is [tex]P(X \geq 3)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 = 0.4232[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]

0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.

(b) At most 7 in a week.

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1680[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1008[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0504[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0216[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 + 0.1680 + 0.1008 + 0.0504 + 0.0216 = 0.988[/tex]

0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.

(c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).

4 weeks, so:

[tex]\mu = \lambda = 4(3) = 12[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\lambda} = \sqrt{12}[/tex]

The probability, using continuity correction, is P(X > 20 + 0.5) = P(X > 20.5), which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 20.5.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{20 - 12}{\sqrt{12}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9896.

1 - 0.9896 = 0.0104

0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.

The probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:

P(At least 3 in a week) = 0.5768 approximately.P(At most 7 in a week) = 0.9881 approximately.P( more than 20 in a month) = 0.0839 approximately.

What are some of the properties of Poisson distribution?

Let X ~ Pois(λ)

Then we have:

E(X) = λ = Var(X)

Since standard deviation is square root (positive) of variance,

Thus,

Standard deviation of X = [tex]\sqrt{\lambda}[/tex]

Its probability function is given by

f(k; λ) = Pr(X = k) = [tex]\dfrac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}[/tex]

For this case, let we have:

X = the number of weekly demand of video recorder for the considered shop.

Then, by the given data, we have:

X ~ Pois(λ=3)


Evaluating each event's probability:

Case 1: At least 3 in a week.

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1- P(X \leq 2) = \sum_{i=0}^{2}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{2} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 3) = 1 - e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2\right) \approx 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]

Case 2: At most 7 in a week.

[tex]P(X \leq 7) = \sum_{i=0}^{7}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{7} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X \leq 7) = e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120 + 729/720 + 2187/5040\right)\\\\P(X \leq 7) \approx 0.9881[/tex]

Case 3: More than 20 in a month(4 weeks)

That means more than 5 in a week on average.

[tex]P(X > 5) = 1- P(X \leq 5) =\sum_{i=0}^{5}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{5} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 5) = 1- e^{-3}( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120)\\\\P(X > 5) \approx 1 - 0.9161 \\ P(X > 5) \approx 0.0839[/tex]


Thus, the probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:

P(At least 3 in a week) = 0.5768 approximately.P(At most 7 in a week) = 0.9881 approximately.P( more than 20 in a month) = 0.0839 approximately.

a) 0.2

b) 0.0009

c) 0.0298

d) 0.0465 = 4.65% probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.15.

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 normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

20% of customers entering her store make a purchase.

This means that [tex]p = 0.2[/tex]

180 people

This means that [tex]n = 180[/tex]

a. What is the mean of the distribution of the sample proportion of customers making a purchase?

By the Central Limit Theorem, [tex]\mu = p = 0.2[/tex].

b) What is the variance of the sample proportion?

The standard deviation is:

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{180}} = 0.0298[/tex]

Variance is the square of the standard deviation, so:

[tex]s^2 = (0.0298)^2 = 0.0009[/tex]

c) What is the standard error of the sample proportion?

As found in the previous item, 0.0298.

d) What is the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.15?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 0.15. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.15 - 0.20}{0.0298}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.68[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.68[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0465.

0.0465 = 4.65% probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.15.

Answer:

c = 4√2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle θ = 30

Opposite = 2√2

Hypothenus = c =?

We can obtain the value of c by using the sine ratio as illustrated below:

Sine θ = Opposite / Hypothenus

Sine 30 = 2√2 / c

½ = 2√2 / c

Cross multiply

c = 2 × 2√2

c = 4√2

Therefore, the value of c is 4√2.

Emily, Yani and Joyce have a total of 3209 stickers. Yani has 2 times
as many stickers as Joyce. Emily has 279 more stickers than Yani. How
many more stickers does Emily have than Joyce?

Answers

Answer:

279+x

Step-by-step explanation:

Emily + Yani + Joyce=3209 stickers

if Yani has 2 times as many stickers as Joyce:this statement states that Joyce has x stickers and Yani has 2x stickers because x multiplied by 2

"Emily has 279 more stickers than Yani":therefore the equation for Emily will be ;279+2x

how many stickers does Emily have than Joyce:

(279+2x)-(x)

279+2x-x

=279+x

Answer:

2:3 is equal to 8:12

Step-by-step explanation:

2:3

To get the first number to 8

8/2 = 4

Multiply by all terms 4

2*3 : 3*4

8:12

2:3 is equal to 8:12

8:12 = 8/12

= 2/3

= 2:3

Therefore 2:3 and 8:12 are equalent to each other.

The automatic opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is 185 m above the ground. Suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 185 and standard deviation 32 m. Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m. What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes

Answers

Answer:

0.0193 = 1.93% probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each parachute, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is damage, or there is not. The probability of there being damage on a parachute is independent of any other parachute, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

To find the probability of damage on a parachute, the normal distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Probability of a parachute having damage.

The opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 185 and standard deviation 32 m, which means that [tex]\mu = 185, \sigma = 32[/tex]

Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m, which means that the probability of damage is the p-value of  Z when X = 100. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{100 - 185}{32}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.66[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.66[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0039.

What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes?

0.0039 probability of a parachute having damage, which means that [tex]p = 0.0039[/tex]

5 parachutes, which means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

This probability is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.0039)^{0}.(0.9961)^{5} = 0.9807[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.9807 = 0.0193[/tex]

0.0193 = 1.93% probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

well, what does the word "constant" tell you ?

e.g. "this is a constant reminder of ..."

a constant is steady and unchanging. always the same.

so, what could be the constant part/term in the expression ?

-3xy ? is that always the same value ? no matter what values you assign to x, y (and whatever other variables there might be in the system)?

or

10 ? is that always the same value, no matter what values are assigned to x, y, ... ?

there are no other parts/terms I can see here.

so, please use your common sense and pick the right one. you can do that !

this is so simple. to outright write the answer to this feels like an offense. also against your own intelligence.

Sample mean = ΣX/ n ; n = sample size = 6

Sample mean = 1437 / 6 = 239.5

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/2(7) = 3.5th term

Median = (3rd + 4th) /2 = (224 + 239) /2 = 231.5

Sample standard deviation; √(Σ(x - xbar)²/n-1 ) = 29.60 (using calculator)

Car 2 : 220, 221, 225, 244, 258, 259

Sample mean = ΣX/ n ; n = sample size = 6

Sample mean = 1427 / 6 = 237.833

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/2(7) = 3.5th term

Median = (3rd + 4th) /2 = (225 + 244) /2 = 234.5
