The Office of Student Services at a large western state university maintains information on the study habits of its full-time students. Their studies indicate that the mean amount of time undergraduate students study per week is 20 hours. The hours studied follows the normal distribution with a population standard deviation of seven hours. Suppose we select a random sample of 125 current students. What is the probability that the mean of this sample is between 19.25 hours and 21.0 hours

Answers

Answer 1

There is a probability of 77% that the mean of this sample is between 19.25 hours and 21.0 hours

Z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} } \\\\where\ x=raw\ score,\mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation,n=sample\ size[/tex]

Given that μ = 20, σ = 7, n = 125.

For x = 19.25:

[tex]z=\frac{19.25-20}{7/\sqrt{125} } =-1.20\\\\\\For\ x=21:\\\\z=\frac{21-20}{7/\sqrt{125} } =0.62[/tex]

From the normal distribution table, P(-1.20 < z < 0.62) = P(z < 0.62) - P(z < -1.2) = 0.8849 - 0.1151 = 0.7698 = 77%

There is a probability of 77% that the mean of this sample is between 19.25 hours and 21.0 hours

According to an independent research, a point estimate of the proportion of U.S. consumers of black tea is p = 0.76. Calculate the sample size needed to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true value of p is less than 0.015? Use the z-value rounded to two decimal places to obtain the answer. 4072.69

Answers

Answer:

The sample size needed is 3115.

Step-by-step explanation:

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].

The margin of error is:

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

Point estimate:

[tex]\pi = 0.76[/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].

Calculate the sample size needed to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true value of p is less than 0.015?

This is n for which M = 0.015. So

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

[tex]0.015 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.76*0.24}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.015\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.76*0.24}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.76*0.24}}{0.015}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.76*0.24}}{0.015})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 3114.26[/tex]

Rounding up:

The sample size needed is 3115.

The critical value of F for an upper tail test at a 0.05 significance level when there is a sample size of 21 for the sample with the smaller variance and there is a sample size of 9 for the sample with the larger sample variance is _____. a. 2.94 b. 2.45 c. 2.10 d. 2.37

Answers

Answer:

2.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

α = 0.05

Larger sample variance= numerator, sample size = 9

Smaller sample variance = denominator, sample size = 21

Hence,

DFnumerator = n - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8

DFdenominator = n - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20

Critical value for upper tail test using the F distribution table at α = 0.05 ; DFnumerator on horizontal ; Df denominator as vertical ;

F critical = 2.447

F critical = 2.45

Kendall wants to estimate the percentage of vegetarians who are also vegan. She surveys 150 vegetarians and finds that 45 are vegan. Find the margin of error for the confidence interval for the population proportion with a 95% confidence level.

Answers

Answer:

0.0733364

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Number of vegans = x ;

Sample size, n = 150

Zα/2 ; Zcritical at 95% = 1.96

p = x / n = 45 / 150 = 0.3

Margin of Error :

Zcritical * √(p(1 - p) / n)

1.96 * √(0.3(1 - 0.3) / 150)

Margin of Error :

1.96 * √(0.3 * 0.7) / 150)

1.96 * √0.0014

Margin of Error = 0.0733364

Determine the minimum weight of the heaviest 5% of all items produced. d. If 27,875 items of the entire production weigh at least 5.01 ounces, how many items have been produced?

Answers

Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) 0.8849

(b) 12.28%

(c) 4.9935

(d) 28004

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean,

= 4.5

Standard deviation,

= 0.3

(a)

P(x > 4.14)

As we know,

⇒ [tex]z = \frac{4.14-4.5}{0.3}[/tex]

      [tex]=-1.20[/tex]

then,

⇒ [tex]P(z>-1.20) = P(z<1.20)[/tex]

                          [tex]=0.8849[/tex]

(b)

P(4.8 < x < 5.04)

= [tex]P(\frac{4.8-4.5}{0.3} < \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{5.04-4.5}{0.3} )[/tex]

= [tex]P(1<z<1.80)[/tex]

= [tex]P(z<1.80)-P(z<1)[/tex]

= [tex]0.9641 -0.8413[/tex]

= [tex]0.1228[/tex]

or,

= [tex]12.28[/tex] (%)

(c)

P(x > x) = 0.05

z value will be,

= 1.645

⇒ [tex]1.645 = \frac{x - 4.5}{0.3}[/tex]

         [tex]x = 4.9935[/tex]

(d)

P(x < 5.01)

⇒ [tex]z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

      [tex]=\frac{5.01-4.5}{0.3}[/tex]

      [tex]=1.7[/tex]

P(z < 1.70) = 0.9554

⇒ [tex]n = \frac{27875}{0.9954}[/tex]

       [tex]=28004[/tex]
