Out of a random sample of 2,000 people in the United States, 168 reported making more than $75,000 a year. Calculate the sample proportion LaTeX: \hat{p}p ^ of people in the United States who earn more than $75,000 each year. Give your answer accurate to three decimal places in decimal form. (Example: 0.398)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample proportion is 8.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample proportion f people in the United States who earn more than $75,000 each year is the number of people who reported earning more than $75,000 each year divided by the size of the sample.

The proportion is:

[tex]P = \frac{168}{2000} = 0.084[/tex]

The sample proportion is 8.4%.

Answer 2

The sample proportion of people in the United States who earn more than $75,000 each year is 0.084.

Number of people who reported earning more than $75,000: 168

Total number of people in the sample: 2,000

[tex]\[ \hat{p} = \frac{168}{2000} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \hat{p} = 0.084 \][/tex]

 To three decimal places, the sample proportion is 0.084

In March 2015, the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) surveyed 7525 likely voters living in California. This is the 148th PPIC research poll, and is part of a survey series that started in 1998. PPIC researchers find that 3266 survey participants are registered Democrats and 2137 survey participants are registered Republicans. PPIC is interested in the difference between the proportion of registered Democrats and the proportion of registered Republicans in California. PPIC researchers calculate that the standard error for the proportion of registered Democrats minus registered Republicans is about 0.008. Of the 3266 registered Democrats, 1894 approve of the way the California Legislature is handling its job. Of the 2137 registered Republicans, 385 approve of the way the California Legislature is handling its job. What is the 90% confidence interval to estimate the difference in approval for the California Legislature based on political party affiliation?

Answers

Answer:

We are confident at 99% that the difference between the two proportions is between [tex]0.380 \leq p_{Republicans} -p_{Democrats} \leq 0.420[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

Data given and notation  

[tex]X_{D}=3266[/tex] represent the number people registered as Democrats

[tex]X_{R}=2137[/tex] represent the number of people registered as Republicans

[tex]n=7525[/tex] sampleselcted

[tex]\hat p_{D}=\frac{3266}{7525}=0.434[/tex] represent the proportion of people registered as Democrats

[tex]\hat p_{R}=\frac{2137}{7525}=0.284[/tex] represent the proportion of people registered as Republicans

The standard error is given by this formula:

[tex]SE=\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_D (1-\hat p_D)}{n_{D}}+\frac{\hat p_R (1-\hat p_R)}{n_{R}}}[/tex]

And the standard error estimated given by the problem is 0.008

Part b

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

[tex]p_A[/tex] represent the real population proportion of Democrats that approve of the way the California Legislature is handling its job  

[tex]\hat p_A =\frac{1894}{3266}=0.580[/tex] represent the estimated proportion of Democrats that approve of the way the California Legislature is handling its job  

[tex]n_A=3266[/tex] is the sample size for Democrats

[tex]p_B[/tex] represent the real population proportion of Republicans that approve of the way the California Legislature is handling its job  

[tex]\hat p_B =\frac{385}{2137}=0.180[/tex] represent the estimated proportion of Republicans that approve of the way the California Legislature is handling its job

[tex]n_B=2137[/tex] is the sample for Republicans

[tex]z[/tex] represent the critical value for the margin of error  

The population proportion have the following distribution  

[tex]p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})[/tex]  

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula  

[tex](\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}[/tex]  

For the 90% confidence interval the value of [tex]\alpha=1-0.90=0.1[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2=0.05[/tex], with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.  

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=1.64[/tex]  

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:  

[tex](0.580-0.180) - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.580(1-0.580)}{3266} +\frac{0.180(1-0.180)}{2137}}=0.380[/tex]  

[tex](0.580-0.180) + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.580(1-0.580)}{3266} +\frac{0.180(1-0.180)}{2137}}=0.420[/tex]  

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.380;0.420).  

We are confident at 99% that the difference between the two proportions is between [tex]0.380 \leq p_{Republicans} -p_{Democrats} \leq 0.420[/tex]

A paper describes a study in which researchers observed wait times in coffee shops in Boston. Both wait time and gender of the customer were observed. The mean wait time for a sample of 145 male customers was 85.8 seconds. The mean wait time for a sample of 141 female customers was 113.4 seconds. The sample standard deviations (estimated from graphs that appeared in the paper) were 50 seconds for the sample of males and 75 seconds for the sample of females. For purposes of this exercise, suppose that these two samples are representative of the populations of wait times for female coffee shop customers and for male coffee shop customers. Is there convincing evidence that the mean wait time differs for males and females? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use μmales − μfemales. Round your test statistic to two decimal places, your df down to the nearest whole number, and your P-value to three decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]t=\frac{85.8-113.4}{\sqrt{\frac{(50)^2}{145}+\frac{(75)^2}{141}}}}=-3.65[/tex]  

[tex]p_v =2*P(t_{(284)}<-3.65)=0.000312[/tex]

Using Excel we can use the following code: "=2*T.DIST(-3.65;284;TRUE)"

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level giveen [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] always [tex]p_v<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and there is enough evidence to conclude that the means are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

[tex]\bar X_{M}=85.8[/tex] represent the mean for the males

[tex]\bar X_{F}=113.4[/tex] represent the mean for females

[tex]s_{M}=50[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for males

[tex]s_{F}=75[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for female

[tex]n_{M}=145[/tex] sample size for the group poisoned

[tex]n_{F}=141[/tex] sample size for the group unpoisoned

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean for the two groups are equal or not , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu_{M} = \mu_{F}[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu_{M} \neq \mu_{F}[/tex]

If we analyze the size for the samples both are higher than 30 but the population deviations are not given, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

[tex]t=\frac{\bar X_{M}-\bar X_{F}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{M}}{n_{M}}+\frac{s^2_{F}}{n_{F}}}}[/tex] (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

3) Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the results obtained like this:

[tex]t=\frac{85.8-113.4}{\sqrt{\frac{(50)^2}{145}+\frac{(75)^2}{141}}}}=-3.65[/tex]  

4) Statistical decision

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

[tex]df=n_{M}+n_{F}-2=145+141-2=284[/tex]

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:

[tex]p_v =2*P(t_{(284)}<-3.65)=0.000312[/tex]

Using Excel we can use the following code: "=2*T.DIST(-3.65;284;TRUE)"

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level giveen [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] always [tex]p_v<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and there is enough evidence to conclude that the means are different.

e) ( N c ∪ D ) ∩ ( N ∪ D c )

Answers

Answer:

b) ( N c ∩ D ) ∪ ( N ∩ D c )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see each option:

a) N ∪ D

This includes those who likes both, so this is not correc.t

b) ( N c ∩ D ) ∪ ( N ∩ D c )

Nc is the complement of N. That is those who do not subscribe to news magazine. Intensected with D, those are who do not subscribe to the news magazine but do to the daily informer. By the same logic, the second intersection are those who do subscribe to news magazine but not to the daily informer. This is the correct answer

c) N c ∩ D

This includes only those who subscribe to the daily informer but not to the news maganize. It also needs those who subscribe to the news magazine but not to the daily informer.

d) ( N ∩ D )c

This also involves those who do not subscribe to any of these news sources.

e) ( N c ∪ D ) ∩ ( N ∪ D c )

Wrong... Intersection of those who subscribe to the daily informer but not the news magazine and those who subscribe to the news magazine but not to the daily informer. This is the empty set.

Red and white paint are mixed to make pink paint. If the amount of red paint needed is half the amount of white paint, how many gallons of red paint are needed to make 10 gallons of pink paint?

Answers

Answer:

We will need about 3.3 gallons of red paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

r = amount of red paintw = amount of white paint

The amount of red paint is half the amount of white paint.

r = 1/2 w

w = 2r [1]

We need to make a total of 10 gallons. Then,

r + w = 10 [2]

Replacing [1] in [2]

r + (2r) = 10

3r = 10

r = 3.3

We will need about 3.3 gallons of red paint.

Final answer:

To make 10 gallons of pink paint with red paint being half the amount of white paint, you would need 5 gallons of red paint.

Explanation:

The amount of red paint needed to make 10 gallons of pink paint when the amount of red paint is half that of white paint:

Let the amount of white paint be 'x', then the amount of red paint needed is 'x/2'.Given that white paint is 10 gallons, so 'x = 10'.Therefore, the amount of red paint needed is '10/2 = 5 gallons'.

Answers

Answer: 0.0479

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Computer Help Hot Line receives, on average, 14 calls per hour asking for assistance.

Let x be number of variable that denotes the number of calls that follows a Poisson distribution.

Poisson distribution formula : [tex]P(X=x)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}[/tex]

, where [tex]\lambda[/tex] =Mean of the distribution.

Here ,

Then, the probability that the company will receive more than 20 calls per hour= [tex]P(x>20)=1-P(x\leq20)[/tex]

[tex]=1-0.9521=0.0479 [/tex]  

(From Cumulative Poisson distribution table the value of P(x ≤ 20) =0.9521 corresponding to  [tex]\lambda=14[/tex] ).

Thus , the probability that the company will receive more than 20 calls per hour = 0.0479

As a result of radioactive decay, heat is generated uniformly throughout the interior of the earth at a rate of around 30 watts per cubic kilometer. (A watt is a rate of heat production.) The heat then flows to the earth's surface where it is lost to space. Let F (x,y,z) denote the rate of flow of heat measured in watts per square kilometer. By definition, the flux of F across a surface is the quantity of heat flowing through the surface per unit of time.

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]div F = 27 \frac{W}{km^3}[/tex]

b) [tex]\alpha=\frac{27 W/km^3}{3}= 9\frac{W}{Km^3}[/tex]

c) [tex]T(0,0,0)=-\frac{10}{2(27000)} (0) +7605.185=7605.185[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Suppose that the actual heat generation is 27W/km3 What is the value of div F? div F- Include units)

For this case the value for div F correspond to the generation of heat.

[tex]div F = 27 \frac{W}{km^3}[/tex]

(b) Assume the heat flows outward symmetrically. Verify that [tex] F= \alpha r[/tex] where [tex]r=xi +yj+zk[/tex]. Find a α, (Include units.)

For this case we can satisfy this condition:

[tex]div[\alpha (xi +yj +z k)]]=\alpha(1+1+1)=3\alpha[/tex]

And since we have the value for the [tex]div F[/tex] we can find the value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] like this:

[tex]\alpha=\frac{27 W/km^3}{3}= 9\frac{W}{Km^3}[/tex]

(c) Let T (x,y,z) denote the temperature inside the earth. Heat flows according to the equation F= -k grad T where k is a constant. If T is in °C then k=27000 C/km. Assuming the earth is a sphere with radius 6400 km and surface temperature 20°C, what is the temperature at the center? 27,0 C/km.

For this case we have this:

[tex] F =-k grad T[/tex]

And grad T represent the direction of the greatest decrease related to the temperature.

So we have this equation:

[tex] 10(xi +yj+zk)=-27000 grad T[/tex]

And we can solve for grad T like this:

[tex] grad T = -\frac{10}{(27000)} (xi+yj+zk)[/tex]

Andif we integrate in order so remove the gradient on both sides we got:

[tex]T=-\frac{10}{2(27000)} (x^2 +y^2 +z^2) +C[/tex]

For our case we have the following condition:

[tex]x^2 +y^2 +z^2 = 6400 , T=20 C[/tex]

[tex] T=-\frac{1}{54000} (6400^2)+C =20[/tex]

And we can solve for C like this:

[tex] C= 20+\frac{6400^2}{5400}= 7605.185 [/tex]

So then our equation would be given by:

[tex]T=-\frac{10}{2(27000)} (x^2 +y^2 +z^2) +7605.185[/tex]

And for our case at the center we have that [tex]x^2+ y^2+ z^2 =0[/tex]

And we got:

[tex]T(0,0,0)=-\frac{10}{2(27000)} (0) +7605.185=7605.185[/tex]

Answers

Answer: D. 60100

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Sn = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]

Where

n represents the number of terms in the arithmetic sequence.

d represents the common difference of the terms in the arithmetic sequence.

a represents the first term of the arithmetic sequence.

From the information given,

n = 200 terms

a = 2

d = 3

Therefore, the sum of the first 200 terms, S200 would be

S200 = 200/2[2 × 2 + (200 - 1)3]

S200 = 100[4 + 597)

S200 = 100 × 601 = 60100

Olanda needs for a future project. She can invest now at an annual rate of , compounded monthly. Assuming that no withdrawals are made, how long will it take for her to have enough money for her project?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]t=\frac{ln[\frac{A}{x}]}{n*ln[1+\frac{R}{n}]}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question is not complete, we will generalize the statement as follows:

Olanda needs "A" for a future project. She can invest "x" now at an annual rate of "R" , compounded monthly. Assuming that no withdrawals are made, how long will it take for her to have enough money for her project?

A= Amount Olanda needs (future value).

X= Amount available for Olanda.

R= Anual rate.

First, we have that the future value is given by:

[tex]A=x(1+\frac{R}{n}) ^{nt}[/tex]

Where n=12 because the rate is annual.

And we need to calculate the time it will take with that annual rate to get the money she needs (future value) from what she has now (present value). So, we must make it explicit for "t"; solving:

We have:

[tex]\frac{A}{x} = (1+ \frac{R}{n})^{nt} [/tex]

[tex]ln[\frac{A}{x}]=ln[ (1+ \frac{R}{n})^{nt}][/tex]

Applying logarithmic properties

[tex]ln[\frac{A}{x}]=nt*ln[1+\frac{R}{n}][/tex]

Finally, we have:

[tex]t=\frac{ln[\frac{A}{x}]}{n*ln[1+\frac{R}{n}]}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex] 6P6 = \frac{6!}{(6-6)!}=\frac{6!}{0!}= 6! =6*5*4*3*2*1=720[/tex]

D. 720

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have 6 different cities that needs to be ordered in different ways. And the best way to solve this problem is using permutations since we can't repeat the route.

We need to remember the concept of permutation.

A permutation, known as "arrangement number"  "is a rearrangement of the elements of an ordered list S into a one-to-one correspondence with S itself". Where S correspond to the sample space. And the formula is given by:

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

And for this case we have a total of 6 cities and we want to know how many routes with these 6 cities we can create, so then n=6 and k=6 and if we replace we got:

[tex] 6P6 = \frac{6!}{(6-6)!}=\frac{6!}{0!}= 6! =6*5*4*3*2*1=720[/tex]

And then we have 720 ways to visit six different cities. So the best option is:

D. 720

Final answer:

The number of different routes possible for a tourist visiting six cities in Ireland is 720, calculated by the formula for permutations of a set (6!).

Explanation:

The question is asking for how many different routes are possible if a tourist wants to visit six different cities in Ireland. This is an application of the mathematical principle of permutations, which is a way of counting or ordering objects. In this case, for 6 cities, we use the formula for permutations of a set, which is represented as n!, where n is the number of cities to visit.

For 6 cities, this would be 6!, which is calculated as 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 720. So, there are 720 different routes that the tourist can take to visit the six different cities.

Hence, option 'D. 720' is the correct answer.

Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter the value of the test statistic.

Answers

Answer: z= -2.35

Step-by-step explanation:

When the population variation is know, then we calculate the z-statistic.

Formula to calculate the z-test statistic is given by :-

[tex]z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

where , n= sample size

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] = sample mean

[tex]\mu[/tex] = Population mean

[tex]\sigma[/tex] =Population standard deviation.

As per given we have,

n= 270

[tex]\mu= 108[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x}=107[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^2=49\\\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\sqrt{49}=7[/tex]

Then, z-statistic  will be

[tex]z=\dfrac{107-108}{\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{270}}}[/tex]    (Substitute all the values )

[tex]\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{-1}{\dfrac{7}{16.4316767252}}[/tex]  

[tex]\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{-1}{0.426006433614}[/tex]  

[tex]\Rightarrow\ z=-2.34738238931\approx-2.35[/tex]  

Hence, the value of the test statistic= z= -2.35

A recent study by Ohio State University reported at Science Daily suggests that students with cell phones may take more risks than students that do not have cell phones. In a sample of 305 Ohio State University female students, 128 (42%) responded that if they had a cell phone, they would be willing to walk somewhere after dark that they would normally not go.

Use the above survey results to test the hypotheses
H0: p = 0.50
HA: p < 0.50
where p is the proportion of female students who, if they had a cell phone, would be willing to walk somewhere after dark that they would normally not go.

Question 1. What is the value of the test statistic z for this hypothesis test? (Use 2 decimal places in your answer).

Answers

Answer:

The value of the test statistic z for this hypothesis test is -2.79

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

To calculate the test statistic use the formula:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p-p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}}[/tex]

Where, z  is Test statistics, n is Sample size, p₀ = Null hypothesized value  and [tex]\hat p[/tex] = Observed proportion.

p₀ = 0.50

Thus 1-p₀= 0.50

42% responded that if they had a cell phone, thus [tex]\hat p=0.42[/tex]

The sample size is 305.

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

[tex]z=\frac{0.42-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(0.50)}{305}}}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{-0.08}{\sqrt{0.00082}}[/tex]

[tex]z=-2.79[/tex]

Hence, the value of the test statistic z for this hypothesis test is -2.79

The value of the test statistic [tex]\( z \)[/tex] for this hypothesis test is approximately -2.797.

To calculate the test statistic [tex]\( z \)[/tex], we follow these steps:

1. State the null hypothesis [tex]\( H_0: p = 0.50 \)[/tex] and the alternative hypothesis [tex]\( H_A: p < 0.50 \)[/tex].2. Identify the sample proportion [tex]\( \hat{p} \)[/tex], which is the proportion of the sample that has the characteristic of interest.

In this case, [tex]\( \hat{p} = \frac{128}{305} \approx 0.42 \)[/tex]

3. Calculate the standard error of the proportion, which is given by [tex]\( SE = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} \)[/tex], where [tex]\( p \)[/tex] is the population proportion under the null hypothesis and [tex]\( n \)[/tex] is the sample size

[tex]\( SE = \sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{305}} \approx \sqrt{\frac{0.25}{305}} \)[/tex]

4. Compute the test statistic [tex]\( z \)[/tex] using the formula [tex]\( z = \frac{\hat{p} - p}{SE} \)[/tex], where [tex]\( \hat{p} \)[/tex] is the sample proportion, [tex]\( p \)[/tex] is the population proportion under the null hypothesis, and [tex]\( SE \)[/tex] is the standard error.

5. Plug in the values to get [tex]\( z = \frac{0.42 - 0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.25}{305}}} \)[/tex].

6. Simplify the expression to find the value of [tex]\( z \)[/tex].

[tex]\[ z = \frac{0.42 - 0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.25}{305}}} = \frac{-0.08}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{1220}}} = \frac{-0.08}{\sqrt{0.0008197}} = \frac{-0.08}{0.0286} \approx -2.797 \][/tex]

The age of the artifact is approximately 3378 years.

To determine the age of the artifact, we can use the concept of radioactive decay and the half-life of carbon-14 (14C), which is 5715 years.

The formula for the decay of a radioactive substance is given by:

[tex]A = A_0 \times (0.5)^{(t / T_{1/2})[/tex]

where:

A = Final activity of the sample (in counts per minute, cpm)

A₀ = Initial activity of the sample (in counts per minute, cpm)

t = Time elapsed (in years)

T₁/₂ = Half-life of the radioactive substance (in years)

We are given:

A₀ (activity of the artifact) = 38.0 cpm

A (activity of the standard of zero age) = 58.2 cpm

T₁/₂ (half-life of carbon-14) = 5715 years

Let's rearrange the formula to solve for t (age of the artifact):

[tex]t = T_{1/2} \times log_2(A / A_0)[/tex]

Now, plug in the given values:

t = 5715 × log₂(58.2 / 38.0)

Using a calculator:

t ≈ 5715 × log₂(1.53263158)

t ≈ 5715 × 0.591170846

t ≈ 3378.115647

Hence, the age of the artifact is approximately 3378 years.

Consider an experiment with a deck of 52 playing cards, in which there are 13 cards in each suit, two suits are black, and two suits are red. Suppose E1 = the outcome is a red card and E2 = the outcome is a face card (K, Q, J). Determine P(E1 or E2).

Answers

Final answer:

The probability of getting a red card or a face card from a deck of playing cards is 8/13.

Explanation:

To determine P(E1 or E2), we need to find the probability of either event E1 (outcome is a red card) or event E2 (outcome is a face card) occurring.

To find P(E1), we can count the number of red cards in the deck, which is 26 (there are 2 red suits and each suit has 13 cards).

To find P(E2), we can count the number of face cards in the deck, which is 12 (there are 3 face cards in each suit and 4 suits).

Since E1 and E2 are not mutually exclusive (some cards are both red and face cards), we need to subtract the number of cards that satisfy both events to avoid double counting. In this case, there are 6 red face cards in the deck (2 red suits each with 3 face cards).

Therefore, P(E1 or E2) = P(E1) + P(E2) - P(E1 and E2) = 26/52 + 12/52 - 6/52 = 32/52 = 8/13.

Final answer:

The probability of drawing either a red card or a face card from a standard deck of 52 playing cards is 8/13.

Explanation:

To calculate P(E1 or E2), where E1 is the event of drawing a red card and E2 is the event of drawing a face card from a standard deck of 52 playing cards, we can use the formula for the probability of the union of two events: P(E1 or E2) = P(E1) + P(E2) - P(E1 and E2). Since there are 13 red cards in each of the two red suits (hearts and diamonds), P(E1) = 26/52. There are 3 face cards (jack, queen, king) in each of the four suits, so P(E2) = 12/52. However, among these face cards, 6 are red (3 in hearts and 3 in diamonds), so P(E1 and E2) = 6/52. Thus, the probability of drawing either a red card or a face card is P(E1 or E2) = 26/52 + 12/52 - 6/52.

In conclusion: P(E1 or E2) = (26 + 12 - 6) / 52

Simplifying that, we get: P(E1 or E2) = 32/52, which can be reduced to P(E1 or E2) = 8/13.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by [tex]-23.44 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq -8.16[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

[tex]\bar X_1 =114.1[/tex] represent the sample mean 1

[tex]\bar X_2 =129.9[/tex] represent the sample mean 2

n1=5 represent the sample 1 size  

n2=2 represent the sample 2 size  

[tex]s_1 =5.08[/tex] sample standard deviation for sample 1

[tex]s_2 =5.37[/tex] sample standard deviation for sample 2

[tex]\mu_1 -\mu_2[/tex] parameter of interest.

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the difference of means is given by the following formula:  

[tex](\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{s^2_2}{n_2}}[/tex] (1)  

The point of estimate for [tex]\mu_1 -\mu_2[/tex] is just given by:

[tex]\bar X_1 -\bar X_2 =114.1-129.9=-15.8[/tex]

In order to calculate the critical value [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:  

[tex]df=n_1 +n_2 -1=5+5-2=8[/tex]  

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,8)".And we see that [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=\pm 2.31[/tex]  

The standard error is given by the following formula:

[tex]SE=\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{s^2_2}{n_2}}[/tex]

And replacing we have:

[tex]SE=\sqrt{\frac{5.08^2}{5}+\frac{5.37^2}{5}}=3.306[/tex]

Confidence interval

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):  

[tex]-15.8-2.31\sqrt{\frac{5.08^2}{5}+\frac{5.37^2}{5}}=-23.437[/tex]  

[tex]-15.8+2.31\sqrt{\frac{5.08^2}{5}+\frac{5.37^2}{5}}=-8.163[/tex]  

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by [tex]-23.44 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq -8.16[/tex]  

Final answer:

To calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the true average stopping distances for cars equipped with system 1 and system 2, use the formula CI = (x1 - x2) ± (c * SE) where x1 and x2 are the sample means, and SE is the standard error of the difference.

Explanation:

To calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the true average stopping distances for cars equipped with system 1 and system 2, we can use the formula:


CI = (x1 - x2) ± (c * SE)


where x1 and x2 are the sample means, and SE is the standard error of the difference. The critical value c can be found using the t-distribution table for the given sample sizes n1 and n2.

let G be the set of all polynomials of the form ax^2+bx+c with coefficients from the set {0, 1, 2}. we can make G a group under addition by adding the polynomials in the usual way, except that we use modulo 3 to combine the coefficients. with this operation, prove that G is a group of order 27 that is not cyclic

Answers

Answer: All the statements can be proved using definitions from group theory.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the fact that the set [tex]\{0,1,2\}:=\mathbb{Z}_3[/tex] is a group under addition modulo 3 (denoted by +). This is because addition modulo 3 is associative, 0 is the identity element for this group and -0=0, -1=2, -2=1.

Let [tex]ax^2+bx+c,dx^2+ex+f, gx^2+hx+i \in G[/tex].

Addition in G is well defined, because [tex]ax^2+bx+c+dx^2+ex+f=(a+d)x^2+(b+e)x+(c+f)[/tex] and the coefficients of this last polynomial are computed using addition modulo 3, which is well defined.

Because addition modulo 3 is associative, we have that [tex](ax^2+bx+c+dx^2+ex+f)+gx^2+hx+i=((a+d)x^2+(b+e)x+(c+f))+gx^2+hx+i=((a+d)+g)x^2+((b+e)+h)x+((c+f)+i)=(a+(d+g))x^2+(b+(e+h))x+(c+(f+i))=ax^2+bx+c+dx^2+((d+g)x^2+(e+h)x+c+(f+i))=ax^2+bx+c+dx^2+(dx^2+ex+f+gx^2+hx+i)[/tex] therefore the addition defined in G is associative.

The identity element for this group is the polynomial [tex]e=0:=0x^2+0x+0\in G[/tex]. Indeed, we have that  [tex]ax^2+bx+c+0=(a+0)x^2+(b+0)x+(c+0)=ax^2+bx+c=(0+a)x^2+(0+b)x+(0+c)=0+ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

The inverse element of a polynomial [tex]ax^2+bx+c \in G[/tex] is the polynomial [tex](-a)x^2+(-b)x+(-c) \in G[/tex], because [tex]ax^2+bx+c+(-a)x^2+(-b)x+(-c)=(a-a)x^2+(b-b)x+(c-c)=0=(-a)x^2+(-b)x+(-c)+]ax^2+bx+c [/tex]

This group has order 27: to count all the polynomials in G we have to count the number of ways to choose a, b and c and construct a polynomial. a,b and c can be either 0,1 or 2 so each one can be chosen in 3 ways. In total, there are 3×3×3=27 possible choices that result in a element of G.

This group is not cyclic. Take any polynomial [tex]ax^2+bx+c \in G[/tex], then its generated group is the set [tex]<ax^2+bx+c>=\{0,ax^2+bx+c,2ax^2+2bx+2c\}[/tex]. This is because any element of the form[tex]n(ax^2+bx+c)=nax^2+nbx+nc, n\in \mathbb{Z}[/tex] can be reduced to [tex](n\mod 3)ax^2+(n\mod 3)bx+(n\mod 3)c[/tex] and [tex]n\mod 3[/tex] only takes the values 0,1,2. The generated group of any element of G has less than 27 elements, so G can't be cyclic.  

Final answer:

The set G of all polynomials ax^2+bx+c with coefficients {0, 1, 2} forms a group under addition with modulo 3 and has order 27, but it is not cyclic, because no element of G, when raised to each power from 0 to the group's order, can generate all elements of G.

Explanation:

Let G be the set of all polynomials of the form ax^2+bx+c, with coefficients {0, 1, 2}. Each coefficient has 3 possibilities (0, 1, 2) so there are 3^3 = 27 total polynomials, hence the order of G is 27.

To show that G is a group under addition with modulo 3, we need to show four things: closure, associativity, identity element, and inverses. Polynomials form a ring under normal addition and multiplication, and since mod 3 addition follows the same rules, G is closed and associative. The identity element is the polynomial where all coefficients are 0. Finally, regarding inverses, every element in G has an additive inverse in G (for example, the inverse of 2 is 1 mod 3).

To show that G is not cyclic, note that a group is cyclic if and only if it has a generator which, when raised to every power from 0 to the order of the group, generates every element of the group. But in G there is no such polynomial, hence G is not cyclic.

The number of traffic accidents occurring on any given day in Coralville is Poisson distributed with mean 5. The probability that any such accidentinvolves an uninsured driver is 0.25, independent of all other such accidents.


Calculate the probability that on a given day in Coralville there are no trafficaccidents that involve an uninsured driver.



The answer is 0.278. Could you please explain why?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 0.2865

Step-by-step explanation:

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^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

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

In this problem, we have that:

The mean number of accidents on any given day in Coralville is 5. Of those, 25% are with an uninsured drive.

So [tex]\mu = 5*0.25 = 1.25[/tex]

Calculate the probability that on a given day in Coralville there are no trafficaccidents that involve an uninsured driver.

This is P(X = 0). So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.25}*(1.25)^{0}}{(0)!} = 02865[/tex]

Final answer:

To calculate the probability of no traffic accidents involving uninsured drivers in Coralville, we can use the Poisson distribution formula with a mean of 5 accidents. The probability is approximately 0.00674, or 0.674%.

Explanation:

To calculate the probability that on a given day in Coralville there are no traffic accidents that involve an uninsured driver, we can use the Poisson distribution formula. The Poisson distribution is used to model the number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space, given the average rate of occurrence. In this case, the mean number of traffic accidents is 5, and the probability of an accident involving an uninsured driver is 0.25.

The formula for the Poisson distribution is P(X=k) = (e^(-λ) * λ^k) / k!, where λ is the mean number of events and k is the number of events we are interested in.

To find the probability of no traffic accidents involving uninsured drivers, we can plug in λ=5 and k=0 into the formula:

P(X=0) = (e^(-5) * 5^0) / 0!

P(X=0) = e^(-5) / 1 = 0.006737947

Therefore, the probability that on a given day in Coralville there are no traffic accidents that involve an uninsured driver is approximately 0.00674, or 0.674%.

A survey of people on pizza preferences indicated that 55 percent preferred pepperoni only, 30 percent preferred mushroom only, and 15 percent preferred something other than pepperoni and mushroom.

Are P and M mutually exclusive events for the people in this survey? (A) Yes, because the joint probability of P and M is greater than 0. B) Yes, because the joint probability of P and M is greater than 1. C)Yes, because the joint probability of P and M is equal to 0. D) No, because the joint probability of P and M is equal to 1. E) No, because the joint probability of P and M is equal to 0.

Answers

Answer:

C) Yes, because the joint probability of P and M is equal to 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, P represents the event that the selected person preferred pepperoni only.

And M represents the event that the selected person preferred mushroom only.

so, P and M are two mutually exclusive events because two events are mutually exclusive if they do not occur together.

Here, P and M cannot occur at same time.

so, the joint probability of P and M i.e) probability of both P and M to occur at same time is zero.

In the given problem we have 55 percent preferred pepperoni only, 30 percent preferred mushroom only, and 15 percent preferred something other than pepperoni and mushroom. The probability of event can be identified by selecting how many people can chose pepperoni and mushroom.

The correct option is (c)

Given:

Pepperoni preferred by 55 percent.

Mushroom preferred by 30 percent.

The people who preferred other than Mushroom and Pepperoni are 15 percent.

In the given problem, A person can not select both pepperoni and mushroom because percentages of the pizza preferences adds to 1 in this survey. So, the mathematically,

P(P∩M)=0P(P∩M)=0

The above expression indicates the events are mutually exclusive.

Therefore, the joint probability of P and M is equal to 0.

Thus, the correct option is (c)

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

[tex]p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})[/tex]

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex]. And the critical value would be given by:

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

[tex]\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]    (a)  

And on this case we have that [tex]ME =\pm 0.04[/tex] and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

[tex]n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}[/tex]   (b)  

Since we don't have a prior estimation for the proportion we can use 0.5 as estimation. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

[tex]n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=600.25[/tex]  

And rounded up we have that n=601

The p value is a very high value and using any significance given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] always [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions are not significantly different.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

[tex]n_{1}=700[/tex] sample of young adults (age 19 to 35)

[tex]n_{2}=200[/tex] sample of children age 19 to 35

[tex]p_{1}=0.41[/tex] represent the proportion of young adults said they thought parents would provide financial support

[tex]p_{2}=0.43[/tex] represent the proportion of parents said they would provide support

[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the value for the test (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the proportion for the two samples are different , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p_{1} = p_{2}[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p_{1} \neq p_{2}[/tex]  

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:  

[tex]z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{p_1 (1-p_1)}{n_{1}}+\frac{p_2 (1-p_2)}{n_{2}}}}[/tex]   (1)  

3) Calculate the statistic  

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:  

[tex]z=\frac{0.41-0.43}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{700}+\frac{0.43(1-0.43)}{200}}}=-0.51[/tex]    

4) Statistical decision

We can calculate the p value for this test.    

Since is a two tailed  test the p value would be:  

[tex]p_v =2*P(Z<-0.51)=0.614[/tex]  

And we can use the following R code to find it: "2*pnorm(-0.505)"

The p value is a very high value and using any significance given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] always [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions are not significantly different.

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Calculate the critical value tc  

In order to find the critical value is important to mention that we don't know about the population standard deviation, so on this case we need to use the t distribution. Since our interval is at 88% of confidence, our significance level would be given by [tex]\alpha=1-0.88=0.12[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.06[/tex]. The degrees of freedom are given by:  

[tex]df=n-1=50-1=49[/tex]  

We can find the critical values in R using the following formulas:  

qt(0.06,49)

[1] -1.582366

qt(1-0.06,49)

[1] 1.582366

The critical value [tex]tc=\pm 1.582366[/tex]  

Calculate the margin of error (m)  

The margin of error for the sample mean is given by this formula:  

[tex]m=t_c \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]  

[tex]m=1.582366 \frac{5.83}{\sqrt{50}}=14.613[/tex]  

With R we can do this:

m=1.582366*(5.83/sqrt(50))

m

[1] 1.304639

Calculate the confidence interval  

The interval for the mean is given by this formula:  

[tex]\bar X \pm t_{c} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]  

And calculating the limits we got:  

[tex]27.02 - 1.582366 \frac{5.83}{\sqrt{50}}=25.715[/tex]  

[tex]27.02 + 1.582366 \frac{5.83}{\sqrt{50}}=28.325[/tex]

Using R the code is:

lower=27.02-m;lower

[1] 25.71536

upper=27.02+m;upper

[1] 28.32464

The 95% confidence interval is given by (25.71536 ;28.32464)  

And if we need to round we can use the following excel code:

round(lower,2)

[1] 25.72

round(upper,2)

[1] 28.32

And the interval would be (25.72; 28.32)

An article reported on a school​ district's magnet school programs.

Of the 18701870 qualified​ applicants, 963963 were​ accepted, 271271 were​ waitlisted, and 636636 were turned away for lack of space.

Let's calculate the relative frequency for each decision made.

To find the relative frequency, we divide the number of applicants by the total number of qualified applicants.

For the accepted applicants:

Relative frequency = Number of accepted applicants / Total qualified applicants

Relative frequency = 963 / 1870

Relative frequency ≈ 0.515

For the waitlisted applicants:

Relative frequency = Number of waitlisted applicants / Total qualified applicants

Relative frequency = 271 / 1870

Relative frequency ≈ 0.145

For the applicants turned away:

Relative frequency = Number of turned away applicants / Total qualified applicants

Relative frequency = 636 / 1870

Relative frequency ≈ 0.340

Thus, To summarize the results, approximately 51.5% of the qualified applicants were accepted into the magnet school programs, around 14.5% were waitlisted, and about 34% were turned away due to lack of space.

(c) The growth rate is r=r= % help (numbers) (Ensure your answer is accurate to at least the nearest 0.01%) (Note that if rr gives a decay rate you should have r<0r<0.)

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0019

b) 0.0913

c) 9.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

[tex]Q(t)=0.0019(2.22)^{-3t}[/tex]

The standard form of exponential function is

[tex]f(t) = ab^{t}[/tex]

where a is the initial amount and b is the base.

Rewriting the the given function, we have:

[tex]Q(t)=0.0019(2.22)^{-3t}\\Q(t)=0.0019((2.22)^{-3})^t\\Q(t)=0.0019(0.0913)^t[/tex]

a) Initial Value

Putting t = 0, we get,

[tex]Q(0)=0.0019(0.0913)^0 = 0.0019[/tex]

a = 0.0019

b) Growth factor

Comparing, we get, b = 0.0913

c) Growth rate

[tex]\text{Growth factor}\times 100\% = 0.0913\times 100\% = 9.13\%[/tex]

p value < 0.0001

Since p <0.05 we reject null hypothesis

There is a significant linear correlation between the two variables.

Final answer:

This answer demonstrates how to create a scatter plot in Excel, interpret the correlation, calculate SSxx, SSyy, and SSxy, find t.05 from a t-distribution table, and perform a t-test to determine if the correlation coefficient is significantly different from zero.

Explanation:

In Excel, you can create a scatter plot by selecting the appropriate data and choosing Scatter Plot under the Insert tab. The scatter plot suggests a positive correlation between hours worked (X) and weekly pay (Y), indicating that as hours worked increase, so does weekly pay.

To calculate SSxx, SSyy, and SSxy, first, calculate the average of X and Y. Next, subtract the average from each individual data point and square the result to find SSxx and SSyy. For SSxy, subtract the average of X from each X data point and the average of Y from each Y data point, multiply these together, and take the sum.

With regards to finding t.05, look at the t-distribution table available with your study materials. Lastly, calculate the t test statistics using the formula t = r * sqrt((n-2)/(1-r^2)), where n is the number of pairs, r is the correlation coefficient obtained from your Excel scatter plot, and sqrt is the square root function. If the calculated t-value exceeds the t.05 value, you reject the null hypothesis (p = 0).

Integrated circuits consist of electric channels that are etched onto silicon wafers. A certain proportion of circuits are defective because of "undercutting," which occurs when too much material is etched away so that the channels, which consist of the unetched portions of the wafers, are too narrow. A redesigned process, involving lower pressure in the etching chamber, is being investigated. The goal is to reduce the rate of undercutting to less than 5%. Out of the first 1000 circuits manufactured by the new process, only 33 show evidence of undercutting. Can you conclude that the goal has been met? Find the P-value and state a conclusion.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.033 -0.05}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{1000}}}=-2.467[/tex]  

[tex]p_v =P(Z>-2.467)=0.0068[/tex]  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed for example [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we have [tex]p_v<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of circuits that show evidence of undercutting is significantly less than 0.05.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=1000 represent the random sample taken

X=33 represent the number of circuits that show evidence of undercutting

[tex]\hat p=\frac{33}{1000}=0.033[/tex] estimated proportion of circuits that show evidence of undercutting

[tex]p_o=0.05[/tex] is the value that we want to test

[tex]\alpha[/tex] represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that they reduce the rate of undercutting to less than 5%.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.05[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.05[/tex]  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is significantly different from a hypothesized value [tex]p_o[/tex].

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

[tex]z=\frac{0.033 -0.05}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{1000}}}=-2.467[/tex]  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

[tex]p_v =P(Z>-2.467)=0.0068[/tex]  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed for example [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we have [tex]p_v<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of circuits that show evidence of undercutting is significantly less than 0.05.
