A quality-conscious disk manufacturer wishes to know the fraction of disks his company makes which are defective.

a. Suppose a sample of 865 floppy disks is drawn. Of these disks, 112 were defective. Using the data, estimate the proportion of disks which are defective.
b. Suppose a sample of 865 floppy disks is drawn. Of these disks, 112 were defective. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.1295

b) The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective is (0.1071, 0.1519).

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

112 out of 865, so:

[tex]\pi = \frac{112}{865} = 0.1295[/tex]

Question b:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

For this problem, we have that:

[tex]n = 865, \pi = 0.1295[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.1295 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1295*0.8705}{865}} = 0.1071[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.1295 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1295*0.8705}{865}} = 0.1519[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective is (0.1071, 0.1519).

Two angles of a triangle have the same measure.
If two sides have lengths 15 and 20, what is the
greatest possible value of the perimeter of the
triangle?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  55 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If two angles have the same measure, the triangle is isosceles. That means two sides have the same measure. Since the two given sides are different measures, the remaining side must be one of those. The perimeter will be greatest if the congruent sides are the longest. The greatest perimeter is ...

A number increased by 100% and decreased by 20% is x. what is the number ? NEEDED TODAY

Answers

Answer:

Let's assume the number be 100.

According to the problem , 100 is increased by 100%.

So, new number will be 100+100=200

Now 200 will decreased by 20%.

So, 20% of 200= 0.20*200= 40.

So, again the number has been changed into 200+40=240.

So, x=240

Step-by-step explanation:

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x/1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number. When n is increased by 100%, its new value is ...

  n(1 +100%) = n(1 +1) = 2n

When this value is decreased by 20%, its new value is ...

  (2n)(1 -20%) = (2n)(0.8) = 1.6n

This value is x, so the number is ...

  1.6n = x

  n = x/1.6 . . . . . . . divide both sides by 1.6

SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300. An administrator at a college is interested in estimating the average SAT score of first-year students. If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample? Make sure to give a whole number answer.

Answers

Answer:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 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 - 0.88}{2} = 0.06[/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 p-value of [tex]1 - 0.06 = 0.94[/tex], so Z = 1.555.

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.

Standard deviation of 300.

This means that [tex]n = 300[/tex]

If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample?

This is n for which M = 15. So

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

[tex]15 = 1.555\frac{300}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]15\sqrt{n} = 300*1.555[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 15

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 20*1.555[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (20*1.555)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 967.2[/tex]

Rounding up:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

If the probability that an event occurs is 0.5 ​, the probability that the event does not occur is

Answers

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

P(that an event occurs) = 0.5

P(that an event does not occur) = 1 - P(that an event occurs)

                                                     = 1 - 0.5

                                                     = 0.5

Answer:

It is also 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From independent events:

[tex]{ \bf{p + q = 1}}[/tex]

p is probability for an event to occur (success).

q is probability for an event not to occur (failure).

[tex]{ \tt{0.5 + q = 1}} \\ { \tt{q = 1 - 0.5}} \\ { \tt{q = 0.5}}[/tex]

The lengths of two sides of the right triangle ABC shown in the illustration given

a= 7cm and b= 24cm

Answers

Answer:

25 cm.

Step-by-step explaination:

Given,

Two sides of a triangle:

a = 7cm

b = 24 cm

To find,

Third side:

c = ?

By Pythagorean Theorem;

a² + b² = c²

[where c is the longest side,hypotenuse]

Putting the value of a and b;

we get,

7² + 24² = c²

49 + 576 = c²

625 = c²

25² = c² (square root)

25 = c

c = 25

Therefore, the length of the third side will be equal to 25 cm.

Question:-

The lengths of two sides of the right triangle ABC shown in the illustration given

a= 7cm and b= 24cm

Given,

> a= 7cm

> b= 24cm

To find?

Side c (third side)

Solution:-

Using Pythagoras theorem,

▶️ a² + b² = c

▶️ 7cm ² + 24cm² = c²

▶️ 49cm + 576cm = c²

▶️ 625cm = c²

▶️ 25² = c² (25×25 = 625)

▶️ c = 25

The value of c is 25 cm.

Abdul's tank can hold 27 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Abdul's gas tank is 1/3 full, and after he buys 12 gallons of gas, it is 7/9 full, to determine how many gallons can Abdul's tank hold the following calculation must be performed:

1/3 = 0.3333

7/9 = 0.7777

0.777 - 0.333 = 0.444

0.444 = 12

1 = X

12 / 0.444 = X

27 = X

Therefore, Abdul's tank can hold 27 gallons of gas.

Find the square root of (2-36i)/(2+3i)​

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{2-36i}{2+3i} * \frac{2-3 i}{2-3i}[/tex]

-104-78i /13

-8-6i

The square root of (2-36i)/(2+3i)​ is √(112-66i)/13.

The given expression is [tex]\frac{2-36i}{2+3i}[/tex].

What is the square root?

The square root of a number is the inverse operation of squaring a number. The square of a number is the value that is obtained when we multiply the number by itself, while the square root of a number is obtained by finding a number that when squared gives the original number.

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 2-3i.

Now, [tex]\frac{2-36i}{2+3i}\times\frac{2-3i}{2-3i}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(2-36i)(2-3i)}{(2+3i)(2-3i)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(4-72i+6i-108i^2)}{4-9i^2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(4-66i+108)}{4+9}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(112-66i)}{13}[/tex]

Now square root is √(112-66i)/13

Therefore, the square root of (2-36i)/(2+3i)​ is √(112-66i)/13.

The entrance ticket for a carnival costs $89.97, which includes a royal meal
that costs $10.85, 1 play station game, and 3 water rides (Each water ride
costs the same price). The cost of a water ride is twice as that of a play
station game. Find the cost of a water ride. Estimate to the nearest tenths.

Answers

Subtract the meal:

89.97- 10.85 = 79.12

Let the play station game = x

A water ride is twice that so a water ride is 2x

There is 3 water rides : 3 x 2x =6x

The PlayStation game and water rides = 79.12

6x + x = 79.12

Simplify:

7x = 79.12

Divide both sides by 7:

X = 11.30

The PlayStation game is 11.30

The water ride = 2 x 11.30 = 22.60
