A simple random sample of 6,250 history majors at U.S. universitites was taken. Almost all of them could correctly name Abraham Lincoln's second Vice President, but only 11.3% of them knew his first Vice President. If possible, find a 95%-confidence interval for the percentage of history majors at U.S. universities who knew Abraham Lincoln's first Vice President. If this is not possible, why not

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 95%-confidence interval for the percentage of history majors at U.S. universities who knew Abraham Lincoln's first Vice President is (10.5%, 12.1%).

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].

6250 students, 11.3% knew Abraham Lincoln's first vice-president.

This means that [tex]n = 6250, \pi = 0.113[/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}} = 0.113 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.113*0.887}{6250}} = 0.105[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.113 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.113*0.887}{6250}} = 0.121[/tex]

As percentages:

0.105*100% = 10.5%

0.121*100% = 12.1%

The 95%-confidence interval for the percentage of history majors at U.S. universities who knew Abraham Lincoln's first Vice President is (10.5%, 12.1%).

The inside diameter of a randomly selected piston ring is a normally distributed random variable with mean 12 cm and standard deviation 0.04 cm. (a) What is the diameter that is exceeded by only 5% of the piston rings

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=12.07[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mean [tex]\=x =12cm[/tex]

Standard deviation [tex]\sigma=0.04[/tex]

Significance level [tex]\alpha=5\%=0.05[/tex]

Therefore

Confidence level [tex]95\%=0.95[/tex]

From table [tex]P(z<1.645)=0.95[/tex]

Generally the equation for Z-score is mathematically given by

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

[tex]x=z\sigma+\mu[/tex]

[tex]x=1.645*0.04+12[/tex]

[tex]x=12.07[/tex]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is given as:

A = ½*base*height

A = ½*b*h

A = (bh)2

If we know the area (A) and the base, to find the height, the following would be done:

Divide both sides by b

A/b = h/2

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex] \frac{A}{b} * 2 = h [/tex]

As we can see here, to find the base, we would divide the area by the vase, then multiply what we get by 2.

A school has found from past records that the average scores for boys is 75 in a sample of 45 boys, and the average scores for girls is 85 in a sample of 30 girls. The population standard deviations for boys' and girls' scores were 25 and 17, respectively. The 90% confidence interval for the difference of the population means is approximately (_____, −2.022).

Confidence Level Corresponding zc Value
90% confidence zc=1.645
95% confidence zc=1.96
99% confidence zc=2.576

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference of the population means is approximately (-17.98, -2.02).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Boys:

Mean of 75, sample of 45, standard deviation of 25.

This means that [tex]\mu_B = 75, s_B = \frac{25}{\sqrt{45}}[/tex]

Girls:

Mean of 85, sample of 30, standard deviation of 17.

This means that [tex]\mu_G = 85, s_G = \frac{17}{\sqrt{30}}[/tex]

Distribution of the difference of mean grades of boys and girls:

[tex]\mu = \mu_B - \mu_G = 75 - 85 = -10[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_B^2+s_G^2} = \sqrt{(\frac{25}{\sqrt{45}})^2+(\frac{17}{\sqrt{30}})^2} = 4.85[/tex]

Confidence interval:

As stated, the critical value is [tex]z = 1.645[/tex]

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = zs = 1.645*4.85 = 7.98[/tex]

Lower bound:

[tex]\mu - M = -10 - 7.98 = -17.98[/tex]

Upper bound:

[tex]\mu + M = -10 + 7.98 = -2.02[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the difference of the population means is approximately (-17.98, -2.02).

A company making tires for bikes is concerned about the exact width of their cyclocross tires. The company has a lower specification limit of 22.8 mm and an upper specification limit of 23.2 mm. The standard deviation is 0.15 mm and the mean is 23 mm. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) What is the process capability index for the process

Answers

Answer:

For this process, the capability index is 0.4444

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Lower specification limit = 22.8 mm

Upper specification limit = 23.2 mm

The standard deviation σ = 0.15 mm

Mean μ = 23

capability index Cpk = ?

Now, Using the formula;

Cpk = min{ [(USL - μ)/3σ], [(μ - LSL)/3σ]

where USL is the Upper specification limit, LSL is the Lower specification limit, σ is the standard deviation, μ is the mean

so we substitute

Cpk = min{ [(23.2 - 23 )/(3×0.15)], [(23 - 22.8)/(3×0.15)] }

Cpk = min{ [0.2 / 0.45 ], [0.2 / 0.45] }

Cpk = min{ [ 0.4444 ], [0.4444] }

Therefore, for this process, the capability index is 0.4444

C. 2u2 + 18w + 40
D. 2w2 + 4w+5

Answers

Given:

The dimensions of the box are (w+5) inches, (w+4) inches, (2w) inches.

To find:

The expression that describes the volume of the box.

Solution:

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is:

[tex]V=length\times breadth \times height[/tex]

Substituting the given values, we get

[tex]V=(w+5)\times (w+4) \times 2w[/tex]

[tex]V=(w^2+5w+4w+20)2w[/tex]

[tex]V=(w^2+9w+20)2w[/tex]

Using distribution property, we get

[tex]V=(w^2)2w+(9w)2w+(20)2w[/tex]

[tex]V=2w^3+18w^2+40w[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of the box is [tex]2w^3+18w^2+40w[/tex] cubic inches.

Mitch jarred 12 liters of jam 2 days. How many days does Mitch need to spend making jam if he want to jar 18 jam in all

Answer:

3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

well, in 2 days mitch can jar 12 liters of jam right? but 12 is divisible by 2. so let’s just do that to help us out later, 12 / 2 = 6

now that we have that, let’s make sure. in 1 day he can jar 6, in 2 he can jar 12.

that seems right! so now, can we add 6 to 12 to make 18? yep! how many more times do we need to add 6? 1 time. so 12 + 6 = 18. every 6 liters is 1 day. so 1 day + 1 day + 1 day (18 liters) is 3 days total!

Step-by-step explanation:

CF is a diameter of the circle. so, any arc connecting C and F has an arc angle of 180° (half-circle).

so, we need to add the arc angle FD.

we know the arc angle ED = 79°.

so, what is left to add is the arc angle FE.

the arc angle FE is the same as BC.

and the arc angle BC is the supplementary angle (means together they have 180°) to 132° :

BC = 180 - 132 = 48°

therefore,

the arc angle CFD = 180 + 48 + 79 = 307°
