Answer:
a.) 0.0822
b.) 1
c.) 0.3659
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability distribution formula is often denoted by :
P(X=r) = nCr × p^r × q^n-r
Where n = total number of samples
r = number of successful outcome of sample
p = probability of success
q = probability of failure.
If we take 4 samples,
3 of this 4 samples are successful
the success rate =S= 31% = 0.31
Failure rate = F= 0.69
a.) Then probability distribution of X becomes:
P(X=3) = 4C3 × 0.31³ × 0.69¹
P(X=3) = 0.0822 (4d.p),
b. Most likely value of X = expected value = np
= 4 × 0.31
= 1.24 ≈ 1
c.) probability that at least 2 out of the 4 have insurance = Probability that 2 have insurance) + probability that 3 have insurance + probability that 4 have insurance.
P(X=2) = 4C2 × 0.31² × 0.69² = 0.2745
P(X=3), as calculated earlier = 0.0822
P(X=4) = 4C4 × 0.31^4 × 0.69^0 = 0.0092
Total probability of having at least 2 out of those 4 insured = 0.2745 + 0.0822 + 0.0092 =0.3659.
You are going to meet a friend at the airport. Your experience tells you that the plane is late 70% of the time when it rains, but is late only 20% of the time when it does not rain.What is the probability that the plane will be late?
Answer:
0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of rain = P(R)
Probability of late plane = P(L)
So, the probability of no rain = P(R')
Breaking it down
If it rains, 40% chance, P(R) = 0.4
That the plane would be late if it rains = 70% × 40%, that is, P(R n L) = 0.7 × 0.4 = 0.28, 28% of the total chance.
That the plane would be on time if it rains = 30% × 40%, that is, P(R n L') = 0.3 × 0.4 = 0.12, 12% of the total chance.
If it doesn't rain, 60% chance, P(R') = 1 - P(R) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
That the plane would be late if it doesn't rain = 20% × 60%, that is, P(R n L') = 0.2 × 0.6 = 0.12, 12% of the total chance.
That the plane would be on time if it doesn't rain = 80% × 60%, that is, P(R' n L') = 0.8 × 0.6 = 0.48, 48% of the total chance.
So, probability that the plane would be late = P(L) = P(R n L) + P(R' n L) = 0.28 + 0.12 = 0.4 = 40%
In a study of the relationships of the shape of a tablet to its dissolution time, 6 disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and 8 oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets were dissolved in water. The dissolve times, in seconds, were as follows:
Disk: 269.0, 249.3, 255.2, 252.7, 247.0, 261.6
Oval: 268.8, 260.0, 273.5, 253.9, 278.5, 289.4, 261.6, 280.2
Can you conclude that the mean dissolve time is less for disk shaped tablets than for mean dissolve time for oval shaped tablets? Assume that the two samples come from normal distributions and σdisk= σoval.
a. Carry out the appropriate test at the 5% level. Be sure to show the hypothesis statements.
b. Generate the appropriate 95% one-sided confidence interval.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
a.
The objective is to study the relationship between the shape of an ibuprofen tablet and its dissolution time.
For these two independent samples of tablets from different shapes where taken and their dissolution times measured:
Sample 1: Disk.shaped tablets
n₁= 6
X[bar]₁= 255.8
S₁= 8.22
Sample 2: Oval-shaped tablets
n₂=8
X[bar]₂= 270.74
S₂= 11.90
Assuming that the population variances are equal and both samples come from normal distributions you need to test if the average dissolution time of the disk-shaped tablets is less than the average dissolution time of the oval-shaped tablets, symbolically:
H₀: μ₁ ≥ μ₂
H₁: μ₁ < μ₂
α: 0.05
Considering the given information about both populations, the statistic to use for this test is a Student t for independent samples with pooled sample variance:
[tex]t= \frac{(X[bar]_1-X[bar]_2)-(Mu_1-Mu_2)}{Sa\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } } ~~t_{n_1+n_2-2}[/tex]
[tex]Sa^2= \frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1+(n_2-1)S^2_2}{n_1+n_2-2}= \frac{5*(8.22)^2+7*(11.9)^2}{6*8-2}[/tex]
Sa²= 110.76
Sa= 10.52
[tex]t_{H_0}= \frac{(255.8-270.74)-0}{10.52\sqrt{\frac{1}{6} +\frac{1}{8} } } = -2.629= -2.63[/tex]
This test is one-tailed to the left, meaning that you will reject the null hypothesis to small values of t, the p-value has the same direction and you can calculate it as:
P(t₁₂≤-2.63)= 0.0110
Since the p-value= 0.0110 is less than the significance level α: 0.05, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.
At a 5% significance level you can conclude that the average dissolution time of the disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets is less than the average dissolution time of the oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets.
b.
(X[bar]₁-X[bar]₂)+Sa[tex]\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} }* t_{n_1+n_2-2; 0.95}[/tex]

The test of comparison between the mean dissolve time of each tablet can
be made using a t-test given that the sample size is small.
The correct responses are;
a. The null hypothesis is H₀; [tex]\overline x_1[/tex] = [tex]\overline x_2[/tex], the alternative hypothesis is Hₐ; [tex]\overline x_1[/tex] < [tex]\overline x_2[/tex]There is significant statistical evidence to suggest that the mean dissolve time is less for disk shaped tablets than for mean dissolve time for oval shaped tablets.b. The 95% one-sided confidence interval is; [tex]\underline{\overline x_1 - \overline x_2 <-2.55}[/tex]Reasons:
The given data is presented as follows;
[tex]\begin{array}{|c|cccccc}&&Time & of & disolution\\Disk&269.0&249.3 &255.2&252.7&247.0&261.6\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{|c|cccccccc}&&Time & of & disolution\\Oval&268.8&260.0&273.5&253.9&278.5&289.4&261.6&280.2\end{array}\right][/tex]
The mean for Disks, [tex]\overline x_1[/tex] = 255.8
The standard deviation for Discs, s₁ ≈ 8.22
Sample size of the Disks, n₁ = 6
Mean for Oval, [tex]\overline x_2[/tex] ≈ 270.74
Standard deviation for Oval, s₂ ≈ 11.9
Sample size of the Oval, n₂ = 8
a. Null hypothesis is H₀; [tex]\overline x_1[/tex] = [tex]\overline x_2[/tex] (there is no difference between the mean of the samples)
Alternative hypothesis is Hₐ; [tex]\overline x_1[/tex] < [tex]\overline x_2[/tex]
The standard deviation of the two populations are equal; [tex]\sigma_{disk} = \mathbf{\sigma_{oval}}[/tex]
The pooled standard deviation, [tex]s_p[/tex], is given as follows;
[tex]s_p = \mathbf{\sqrt{\dfrac{\left ( n_{1}-1 \right )\cdot s_{1}^{2} +\left ( n_{2}-1 \right )\cdot s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2}}}[/tex]
[tex]s_p =\sqrt{\dfrac{\left ( 6-1 \right )\times 8.22^{2} +\left ( 8-1 \right )\times 11.9^{2}}{6+8-2}} \approx 10.524[/tex]
The test statistic is found using the following formula;
[tex]\displaystyle t = \mathbf{ \frac{\overline x_1 - \overline x_2}{s_p \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n_1} +\dfrac{1}{n_2} } }}[/tex]
Which gives;
[tex]\displaystyle t = \frac{255.8 - 270.74}{10.524 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{6} +\dfrac{1}{8} } } \approx -2.629[/tex]
The degrees of freedom, df = n₁ + n₂ - 2
Therefore;
df = 8 + 6 - 2 = 12
From the t-test table, we have; 0.005 < p-value < 0.01
Given that the p-value is less than the alpha level of α = 5% = 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis.
Therefore;
There is significant statistical evidence to suggest that the mean dissolve time is less for disk shaped tablets than for oval shaped tablets.b. The 95% one sided confidence interval is presented as follows;
[tex]\displaystyle \left (\bar{x}_{1}- \bar{x}_{2} \right )\pm \mathbf{t_{(\alpha /2, \, df)} \cdot s_p \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}}}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle t_{(\alpha /2, \, df)}[/tex] = [tex]t_{(0.025, \, 12)}[/tex] = 2.18
Which gives;
[tex]\mathbf{\overline x_1 - \overline x_2} <\displaystyle \left (255.8- 270.74 \right )+2.18 \times 10.524 \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}8}}[/tex]
The one sided 95% confidence interval is therefore;

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled experiment, a subject does not know whether he or she received a treatment or an inactive substance. subjects with similar characteristics are assigned to the same group. subjects are assigned to different treatment groups, one of which receives an inactive substance that appears to be a treatment, through random selection. a subject who received an inactive substance reports an improvement in health or behavior. neither the subjects nor the people administering the treatments know who received a treatment and who received an inactive substance.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
A double-blind experiment is a type of experiment where both the experimental units and the researchers that analyze the data don't know what kind of treatment was applied to each subject.
This means, that if it is a placebo-controlled experiment. The subjects will be randomly assigned either the medicament to test ("treatment" group) or the placebo ( "control" group) but they will not know which one they are taking. This way the placebo effect is eliminated.
On the other hand, in other to eliminate the observer bias, the researchers will also not know which patient belongs to the "control" group and wich patient belongs to the "treatment" group.

(b) Determine the range of the true mean at 95% confidence level. (c) If a seventh sample is tested, what is the prediction interval (95% confidence level) of its failure time
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The detailed steps and appropriate formular is as shown in the attached file.
The answers are :
(a) [tex]\text{Sample Mean is}[/tex] [tex]49[/tex] [tex]\text{and Sample Standard Deviation is}[/tex] [tex]11.7[/tex].
(b) [tex]95\%[/tex][tex]\text{Confidence Interval for True Mean} (36.72, 61.28).[/tex]
(c) [tex]95\% \text{Prediction Interval for a New Sample is} (16.54, 81.46)[/tex]
(a) Calculate the Sample Mean and Sample Standard Deviation
First, let's calculate the sample mean (\(\bar{x}\)) and the sample standard deviation (s).
Given data: [tex]34, 40, 46, 49, 61, 64[/tex]
[tex]\text{Sample Mean} (\(\bar{x}\))[/tex]
[tex]\[\bar{x} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i = \frac{1}{6} (34 + 40 + 46 + 49 + 61 + 64) = \frac{294}{6} = 49\][/tex]
Sample Standard Deviation (s)
[tex]\[s = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \bar{x})^2}][/tex]
[tex]\[\begin{aligned}s & = \sqrt{\frac{1}{5} ((34-49)^2 + (40-49)^2 + (46-49)^2 + (49-49)^2 + (61-49)^2 + (64-49)^2)} \\& = \sqrt{\frac{1}{5} (225 + 81 + 9 + 0 + 144 + 225)} \\& = \sqrt{\frac{1}{5} \times 684} \\& = \sqrt{136.8} \\& = 1.7\end{aligned}\][/tex]
(b) Determine the Range of the True Mean at [tex]95\%[/tex] Confidence Level
To find the 95% confidence interval for the mean, we use the formula:
[tex]\[\bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2, n-1} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\][/tex]
For [tex]\(n = 6\)[/tex], degrees of freedom [tex]= \(n-1 = 5\)[/tex]. Using a t-table, the critical value for [tex]95\%[/tex] confidence and [tex]5[/tex] degrees of freedom is approximately [tex]2.571[/tex]
[tex]\[\begin{aligned}\text{Margin of Error} & = t_{\alpha/2, n-1} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \\& = 2.571 \times \frac{11.7}{\sqrt{6}} \\& = 2.571 \times 4.776 \\& = 12.28\end{aligned}\][/tex]
So, the [tex]95\%[/tex] confidence interval is:
[tex]\[49 \pm 12.28 \Rightarrow (36.72, 61.28)\][/tex]
(c) Prediction Interval ([tex]95\%[/tex] Confidence Level) for a Seventh Sample
The prediction interval for a new observation is calculated using:
[tex]\[\bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2, n-1} s \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{n}}\][/tex]
[tex]\[\begin{aligned}\text{Prediction Interval} & = 49 \pm 2.571 \times 11.7 \times \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{6}} \\& = 49 \pm 2.571 \times 11.7 \times \sqrt{1.1667} \\& = 49 \pm 2.571 \times 11.7 \times 1.080 \\& = 49 \pm 32.46\end{aligned}\][/tex]
So, the prediction interval is:
[tex]\[(16.54, 81.46)\][/tex]

a) Determine the mean and variance of weight. Round your answers to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).
Mean = pounds
Variance = pounds2
b) If the shipping cost is $2.50 per pound, what is the average shipping cost of a package? Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).
pounds
c) Determine the probability that the weight of a package exceeds 59 pounds. Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).
Answer:
(a) The mean is 4.31 pounds. The variance is 51.42 pounds.
(b) The average shipping cost of a package is $10.78.
(c) The probability that the weight of a package exceeds 59 pounds is 0.0027.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability density function of the weight of packages is:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{70}{69x^{2}};\ 1 < x < 70[/tex]
(a)
The formula for expected value (or mean) of X is:
[tex]E(X)=\int\limits^a_b {x\times f(x)} \, dx[/tex]
Compute the expected value of X as follows:
[tex]E(X)=\int\limits^{70}_{1} {x\times \frac{70}{69x^{2}}} \, dx=\frac{70}{69} \int\limits^{70}_{1} {x \times x^{-2}} \, dx\\=\frac{70}{69} \int\limits^{70}_{1} {x^{-1}} \, dx=\frac{70}{69} |\ln x|^{70}_{1}\\=\frac{70}{69}\times\ln 70\\=4.31[/tex]
Thus, the mean is 4.31 pounds.
The formula to compute the variance is:
[tex]V(X)=E(X^{2})-[E(X)]^{2}[/tex]
Compute the E (X²) as follows:
[tex]E(X^{2})=\int\limits^{70}_{1} {x^{2}\times \frac{70}{69x^{2}}} \, dx=\frac{70}{69} \int\limits^{70}_{1} {x^{2} \times x^{-2}} \, dx\\=\frac{70}{69} \int\limits^{70}_{1} {1} \, dx=\frac{70}{69} | x|^{70}_{1}\\=\frac{70}{69}\times69\\=70[/tex]
The variance is:
[tex]V(X)=E(X^{2})-[E(X)]^{2}\\=70-(4.31)^{2}\\=51.4239\\\approx51.42[/tex]
Thus, the variance is 51.42 pounds.
(b)
It is provided that the shipping cost for per pound is, C = $2.50.
Compute the average shipping cost of a package as follows:
[tex]Average\ cost=Cost\ per\ pound\times E(X)\\=2.50\times4.31\\=10.775\\\approx10.78[/tex]
Thus, the average shipping cost of a package is $10.78.
(c)
Compute the probability that the weight of a package exceeds 59 pounds as follows:
[tex]P(59<X<70)=\int\limits^{70}_{59} {\frac{70}{69x^{2}}} \, dx=\frac{70}{69} \int\limits^{70}_{59} {x^{-2}} \, dx\\=\frac{70}{69} |-\frac{1}{x}|^{70}_{59}=\frac{70}{69} [-\frac{1}{70}+\frac{1}{59}]\\=\frac{70}{69}\times0.0027\\=0.0027[/tex]
Thus, the probability that the weight of a package exceeds 59 pounds is 0.0027.
The weights of the package follows a probability density function
The mean is 4.31 and the variance is 51.42, respectively.The average cost of shipping a package is $10.78The probability a package weighs over 59 pounds is 0.0027The probability density function is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{f(x) = \frac{70}{69x^2},\ 1 < x < 70}[/tex]
(a) The mean and the variance
The mean is calculated as:
[tex]\mathbf{E(x) = \int\limits^a_b {x \cdot f(x)} \, dx }[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{E(x) = \int\limits^{70}_1 {x \cdot \frac{70}{69x^2} } \, dx }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{E(x) = \int\limits^{70}_1 {\frac{70}{69x} } \, dx }[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\mathbf{E(x) = \frac{70}{69}\int\limits^{70}_1 {x^{-1} } \, dx }[/tex]
Integrate
[tex]\mathbf{E(x) = \frac{70}{69} {ln(x)}|\limits^{70}_1 } }[/tex]
Expand
[tex]\mathbf{E(x) = \frac{70}{69} \cdot {(ln(70) - ln(1)) }}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{E(x) = 4.31 }}[/tex]
The variance is calculated as:
[tex]\mathbf{Var(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]\mathbf{E(x^2) = \int\limits^a_b {x^2 \cdot f(x)} \, dx }[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{E(x^2) = \int\limits^{70}_1 {x^2 \cdot \frac{70}{69x^2} } \, dx }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{E(x^2) = \int\limits^{70}_1 {\frac{70}{69} } \, dx }[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\mathbf{E(x^2) = \frac{70}{69}\int\limits^{70}_1 {1 } \, dx }[/tex]
Integrate
[tex]\mathbf{E(x^2) = \frac{70}{69} x|\limits^{70}_1 } }[/tex]
Expand
[tex]\mathbf{E(x^2) = \frac{70}{69} \cdot {(70 - 1) }}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{E(x^2) = 70 }}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{Var(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Var(x) = 70 - 4.31^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Var(x) = 51.42}[/tex]
Hence, the mean is 4.31 and the variance is 51.42, respectively.
(b) The average cost of shipping a package
In (a), we have:
[tex]\mathbf{E(x) = 4.31 }}[/tex] ---- Mean
So, the average cost of shipping a package is:
[tex]\mathbf{Average =4.31 \times 2.50}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Average =10.78}[/tex]
Hence, the average cost of shipping a package is $10.78
(c) The probability a package weighs over 59 pounds
This is represented as: P(x > 59)
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{P(x > 59) = P(59 < x < 70)}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{P(x > 59) = \int\limits^{70}_{59} { \frac{70}{69x^2}} \, dx }[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\mathbf{P(x > 59) = \frac{70}{69}\int\limits^{70}_{59} { x^{-2}} \, dx }[/tex]
Integrate
[tex]\mathbf{P(x > 59) = \frac{70}{69} \cdot { -\frac 1x}|\limits^{70}_{59}}[/tex]
Expand
[tex]\mathbf{P(x > 59) = \frac{70}{69} \cdot (-\frac{1}{70} + \frac{1}{59})}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{P(x > 59) = 0.0027}[/tex]
Hence, the probability a package weighs over 59 pounds is 0.0027

Based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11 p.m. newscast reaches 41% of the viewing audience in the area. In a survey of 100 viewers, 36% indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station. What is the z test statistic?
Answer:
[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)
[tex]z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{100}}}=-1.017[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
n=100 represent the random sample taken
[tex]\hat p=0.36[/tex] estimated proportion with the survey
[tex]p_o=0.41[/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)
Concepts and formulas to use
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is lower than 0.41.:
Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.41[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.41[/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].
Calculate the statistic
Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:
[tex]z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{100}}}=-1.017[/tex]

z test statistic is -1.042 .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11 p.m. newscast reaches 41% of the viewing audience in the area. In a survey of 100 viewers, 36% indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station.
Let Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : p = 0.41 {means that % of the viewing audience in the area is 41%}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_1[/tex] : p [tex]\neq[/tex] 0.41 {means that % of the viewing audience in the area is different from 41%}
The z-test statistics we will use here is One sample proportion test ;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, p = % of the viewing audience based on the Nielsen ratings = 41%
[tex]\hat p[/tex] = % of the viewing audience based on a survey of 100 viewers = 36%
n = sample of viewers = 100
So, test statistics = [tex]\frac{0.36 - 0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.36(1-0.36)}{100} } }[/tex]
= -1.042
Therefore, the z test statistic is -1.042 .

Researchers have observed that rainforest areas next to clear-cuts (less than 100 meters away) have a reduced tree biomass compared to rainforest areas far from clear-cuts. To go further, Laurance et al. (1997) tested whether rainforest areas more distant from the clear-cuts were also affected. They compiled data on the biomass change after clear-cutting (in tons/hectare/year) for 36 rainforest areas between 100 m and several km from clear-cuts. The data are as follows:
-10.8, -4.9, -2.6, -1.6, -3, -6.2, -6.5, -9.2, -3.6, -1.8, -1, 0.2, 0.2, 0.1, -0.3, -1.4, -1.5, -0.8, 0.3, 0.6, 1, 1.2, 2.9, 3.5, 4.3, 4.7, 2.9, 2.8, 2.5, 1.7, 2.7, 1.2, 0.1, 1.3, 2.3, 0.5
Test whether there is a change in biomass of rainforest areas following clear-cutting.
we conclude that there is sufficient evidence to suggest that there is a change in biomass of rainforest areas following clear-cutting.
To test whether there is a change in biomass of rainforest areas following clear-cutting, we can perform a one-sample t-test.
The null hypothesis (H0) would be that there is no change in biomass, meaning the mean change in biomass[tex](\(\mu\))[/tex] is equal to zero. The alternative hypothesis (H1) would be that there is a change in biomass, meaning the mean change in biomass [tex](\(\mu\))[/tex] is not equal to zero.
Given the data provided, let's perform the one-sample t-test:
1. Calculate the mean [tex](\(\bar{x}\))[/tex] and standard deviation (s) of the sample.
2. Calculate the t-statistic using the formula:
[tex]\[ t = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} \][/tex]
where [tex]\(\mu_0\)[/tex] is the hypothesized population mean (in this case, 0), s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the sample size.
3. Determine the degrees of freedom (df = n - 1).
4. Determine the critical t-value for the desired significance level (e.g., [tex]\(α = 0.05\))[/tex] and degrees of freedom.
5. Compare the calculated t-statistic to the critical t-value.
6. Make a decision: if the calculated t-statistic is greater than the critical t-value, reject the null hypothesis; otherwise, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Let's start by performing these calculations:
Let's denote the given data points as follows:
Data = -10.8, -4.9, -2.6, -1.6, -3, -6.2, -6.5, -9.2, -3.6, -1.8, -1, 0.2, 0.2, 0.1, -0.3, -1.4, -1.5, -0.8, 0.3, 0.6, 1, 1.2, 2.9, 3.5, 4.3, 4.7, 2.9, 2.8, 2.5, 1.7, 2.7, 1.2, 0.1, 1.3, 2.3, 0.5
Now, let's calculate the mean [tex](\(\bar{x}\))[/tex] and standard deviation (s) of the sample.
First, let's calculate the mean [tex](\(\bar{x}\))[/tex] of the sample:
[tex]\[ \bar{x} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i}{n} \][/tex]
where xi represents each individual data point and n is the sample size.
Using the given data:
[tex]\[ \text{Total number of data points (} n \text{)} = 36 \]\[ \bar{x} = \frac{-10.8 + (-4.9) + (-2.6) + \ldots + 2.3 + 0.5}{36} \]\[ \bar{x} = \frac{-67.1}{36} \]\[ \bar{x} \approx -1.8639 \][/tex]
Next, let's calculate the sample standard deviation (s):
[tex]\[ s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \bar{x})^2}{n - 1}} \][/tex]
Using the given data and the calculated mean:
[tex]\[ s = \sqrt{\frac{(-10.8 - (-1.8639))^2 + (-4.9 - (-1.8639))^2 + \ldots + (0.5 - (-1.8639))^2}{36 - 1}} \]\[ s = \sqrt{\frac{ \sum_{i=1}^{36} (x_i - (-1.8639))^2}{35}} \]\[ s \approx 3.1938 \][/tex]
Now, let's use these values to calculate the t-statistic.
To perform the one-sample t-test, we need to calculate the t-statistic using the formula:
[tex]\[ t = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} \][/tex]
where:
- [tex]\( \bar{x} \)[/tex] is the sample mean,
- [tex]\( \mu_0 \)[/tex] is the hypothesized population mean (in this case, 0),
- s is the sample standard deviation,
- n is the sample size.
Let's plug in the values:
[tex]\[ t = \frac{-1.8639 - 0}{\frac{3.1938}{\sqrt{36}}} \]\[ t = \frac{-1.8639}{\frac{3.1938}{6}} \]\[ t = \frac{-1.8639}{0.5323} \]\[ t \approx -3.5008 \][/tex]
Now, we need to determine the degrees of freedom (df). Since we have a sample size of 36, the degrees of freedom is df = n - 1 = 36 - 1 = 35.
Next, we need to determine the critical t-value for the desired significance level (e.g., [tex]\( \alpha = 0.05 \)[/tex]) and degrees of freedom (35). We can look this up in a t-table or use statistical software.
Finally, we'll compare the calculated t-statistic to the critical t-value to make a decision about the null hypothesis. Let's proceed with these steps.
For a two-tailed test at a significance level of [tex]\( \alpha = 0.05 \)[/tex] and df = 35, the critical t-value is approximately [tex]\( \pm 2.0301 \).[/tex]
Since |t| = 3.5008 > 2.0301, we reject the null hypothesis (H0).
Therefore, we conclude that there is sufficient evidence to suggest that there is a change in biomass of rainforest areas following clear-cutting.

Now, let's calculate the mean[tex](\(\bar{x}\))[/tex] and standard deviation (s) of the sample.
First, let's calculate the mean ([tex]\\(\bar{x}\))[/tex] of the sample:
[tex]\[ \bar{x} = (\sum_(i=1)^(n) x_i)/(n) \][/tex]
where xi represents each individual data point and n is the sample size.
Using the given data:
[tex]\[ \text{Total number of data points (} n \text{)} = 36 \]\[ \bar{x} = (-10.8 + (-4.9) + (-2.6) + \ldots + 2.3 + 0.5)/(36) \]\[ \bar{x} = (-67.1)/(36) \]\[ \bar{x} \approx -1.8639 \][/tex]
Next, let's calculate the sample standard deviation (s):
[tex]\[ s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_(i=1)^(n) (x_i - \bar{x})^2}{n - 1}} \][/tex]
Using the given data and the calculated mean:
[tex]\[ s = \sqrt{((-10.8 - (-1.8639))^2 + (-4.9 - (-1.8639))^2 + \ldots + (0.5 - (-1.8639))^2)/(36 - 1)} \]\[ s = \sqrt{( \sum_(i=1)^(36) (x_i - (-1.8639))^2)/(35)} \]\[ s \approx 3.1938 \][/tex]
Now, let's use these values to calculate the t-statistic.
To perform the one-sample t-test, we need to calculate the t-statistic using the formula:
[tex]\[ t = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{(s)/(√(n))} \][/tex]
where:
- [tex]\( \bar{x} \)[/tex] is the sample mean,
-[tex]\( \mu_0 \)[/tex] is the hypothesized population mean (in this case, 0),
- s is the sample standard deviation,
- n is the sample size.
Let's plug in the values:
[tex]\[t = (-1.8639 - 0)/((3.1938)/(√(36))) \]\\[/tex]
[tex]\[ t = (-1.8639)/((3.1938)/(6)) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ t = (-1.8639)/(0.5323) \]\\\[/tex]
Now, we need to determine the degrees of freedom (df). Since we have a sample size of 36, the degrees of freedom is df = n - 1 = 36 - 1 = 35.
Next, we need to determine the critical t-value for the desired significance level (e.g., [tex]\( \alpha = 0.05[/tex]) and degrees of freedom (35). We can look this up in a t-table or use statistical software.

Since |t| = 3.5008 > 2.0301, we reject the null hypothesis (H0).
Therefore, we conclude that there is sufficient evidence to suggest that there is a change in biomass of rainforest areas following clear-cutting.
A fair coin is continually flipped until heads appears for the 10th time. Let X denote the number of tails that occur. Compute the probability mass function of X.
Answer:
The probability mass function is expressed as:
P(x) = [(x+r-1)C(r-1)]*[p^r]*[(1-p)^x]
Step-by-step explanation:
This is not a binomial distribution. It is actually a negative binomial distribution. The probability mass function is expressed below:
P(x) = [(x+r-1)C(r-1)]*[p^r]*[(1-p)^x]
where:
x = number of failures
r-1 = number of successes (10 in this scenario)
p = probability of a success
nCr = n!/[r!(n-r)!]
The main formula difference in the positive binomial versus negative binomial is this: With respect to the negative binomial, it is obviously known that the last event will be: when we reach our 10th "head", we stop .
Thus, the last flip will ALWAYS be a "head".
What is the main difference between a situation in which the use of the permutations rule is appropriate and one in which the use of the combinations rule is appropriate? Permutations count the number of different arrangements of r out of n items, while combinations count the number of groups of r out of n items. Both permutations and combinations count the number of different arrangements of r out of n items. Combinations count the number of different arrangements of r out of n items, while permutations count the number of groups of r out of n items. Both permutations and combinations count the number of groups of r out of n items.
Answer:
Permutation count the number of different arrangements pf r out of n items, while combination count the number of group of r out of n items.
Step-by-step explanation:
Permutation is the different possible arrangements or different possible order taking by the given things, objects ,words and numbers. it is also know rearranging.
Result are vary with different conditions Like Repetition is allowed or Repetition is not allowed
In mathematics we denote permutation by [tex]{\textup{n}p_{r}}[/tex] no of permutation of n taken r at a time.
Combination is a selection of some specific item or all items at a time from a collection is known as combination. It is denote by [tex]{\textup{n}c_{r}}[/tex] number of combination of n different things taken r at a time
Eg. We have to choose 2 boys in group of 5 so, we can choose by many ways
Combination is widely used in lottery system.
So
Permutation count the number of different arrangements pf r out of n items, while combination count the number of group of r out of n items.
Permutations count arrangements with order, combinations count groups without order.
Explanation:The main difference between a situation in which the use of the permutations rule is appropriate and one in which the use of the combinations rule is appropriate is:
Permutations count the number of different arrangements of r out of n items, where order matters. For example, counting how many ways you can arrange 3 books on a shelf.Combinations count the number of groups of r out of n items, where order doesn't matter. For example, counting how many ways you can choose 2 students to form a study group.In summary, permutations focus on arrangements where order matters, while combinations focus on groups where order doesn't matter.

A video camera is being mounted on a bank wall so as to have a good view of the head teller. Find the angle of depression that the lens should make if the camera is mounted 5.93 feet off the ground, and the teller is 12.02 feet from the ground beneath the camera.
Answer:
The angle of depression of the lens must be 26.3°
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have a right triangle with the opposite side to the angle equal to 5.93 feet and the adjacent side to the angle equal to 12.02 feet. Therefore we just need to use the tangent definition to find the angle.
[tex]tan(\alpha)=\frac{5.93 ft}{12.02 ft}=0.49[/tex]
[tex]\alpha=tan^{-1}(0.49)=26.3^{\circ}[/tex]
The angle of depression of the lens must be 26.3°
I hope it helps you!
The angle of depression is approximately 26.23°.
To determine the angle of depression from the camera to the teller, we can use trigonometry. The camera is mounted 5.93 feet off the ground, and the teller is 12.02 feet away horizontally from the point directly below the camera.
We will use the tangent function, which relates the opposite side (the height difference) to the adjacent side (the horizontal distance).
Opposite side (height difference) = 5.93 feetAdjacent side (horizontal distance) = 12.02 feetThe formula for the tangent of an angle is:
tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent
So, tan(θ) = 5.93 / 12.02
Calculating this gives:
tan(θ) ≈ 0.4935
To find the angle θ, we take the arctangent (inverse tangent) of 0.4935:
θ = arctan(0.4935)
Using a calculator, we find:
θ ≈ 26.23°
Thus, the angle of depression that the camera lens should make is approximately 26.23° .
Six measurements were made of the magnesium ion concentration (in parts per million, or ppm) in a city's municipal water supply, with the following results. It is reasonable to assume that the population is approximately normal. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean magnesium ion concentration.
Answer:
[tex]163.83-4.03\frac{20.094}{\sqrt{6}}=130.77[/tex]
[tex]163.83+4.03\frac{20.094}{\sqrt{6}}=196.89[/tex]
So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (130.77;196.89)
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".
Data: 175 177 175 180 138 138
We can calculate the mean and the deviation from these data with the following formulas:
[tex]\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}[/tex]
[tex]s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\bar X=163.83[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
s=20.093 represent the sample standard deviation
n=6 represent the sample size
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
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=6-1=5[/tex]
Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.005[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,5)".And we see that [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=4.03[/tex]
Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):
[tex]163.83-4.03\frac{20.094}{\sqrt{6}}=130.77[/tex]
[tex]163.83+4.03\frac{20.094}{\sqrt{6}}=196.89[/tex]
So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (130.77;196.89)
he labor force participation rate is the number of people in the labor force divided by the number of people in the country who are of working age and not institutionalized. The BLS reported in February 2012 that the labor force participation rate in the United States was 63.7% (Calculatedrisk). A marketing company asks 120 working-age people if they either have a job or are looking for a job, or, in other words, whether they are in the labor force. What is the probability that fewer than 60% of those surveyed are members of the labor force?
Answer:
[tex] z= \frac{0.6-0.637}{0.0439} =-0.843[/tex]
So then we can find the probability like this:
[tex]P(p<0.6) = P(Z<-0.843)[/tex]
And using the normal standard table or excel we got:
[tex]P(p<0.6) = P(Z<-0.843)=0.1996[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can check if we can use the normal approximation for the proportion and we have this:
[tex] np = 120*0.637 =76.44 >10[/tex]
[tex] n(1-p) = 120*(1-0.637) = 43.56>10[/tex]
Then we can conclude that we can use the normal approximation. And we have this:
[tex] p\sim N (p, \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})[/tex]
So the mean is given by:
[tex]\mu_p = 0.637[/tex]
And the deviation is given by:
[tex]\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.637*(1-0.637)}{120}}= 0.0439[/tex]
And for this case we want to find this probability:
[tex] P( p<0.6)[/tex]
And we can use the z score given by:
[tex] z = \frac{p -\mu}{\sigma_p}[/tex]
And for this case the z score is:
[tex] z= \frac{0.6-0.637}{0.0439} =-0.843[/tex]
So then we can find the probability like this:
[tex]P(p<0.6) = P(Z<-0.843)[/tex]
And using the normal standard table or excel we got:
[tex]P(p<0.6) = P(Z<-0.843)=0.1996[/tex]
On average, the number of customers who had items to return for refunds or exchanges at a certain retail store's service desk is 756 per week. Find the probability that the service desk will have at least 100 customers with returns or exchanges on a randomly selected day. (Assume the store is open 7 days/week.)
Answer:
The probability that the service desk will have at least 100 customers with returns or exchanges on a randomly selected day is P=0.78.
Step-by-step explanation:
With the weekly average we can estimate the daily average for customers, assuming 7 days a week:
[tex]M=756/7=108[/tex]
We can model this situation with a Poisson distribution, with parameter λ=108. But because the number of events is large, we use the normal aproximation:
[tex]P(\lambda)\approx N(\lambda,\lambda)[/tex]
Then we can calculate the z value for x=100:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{100-108}{\sqrt{108}}=\frac{-8}{10.4} =-0.77[/tex]
Now we calculate the probability of x>100 as:
[tex]P(x>100)=P(z>-0.77)=0.78[/tex]
The probability that the service desk will have at least 100 customers with returns or exchanges on a randomly selected day is P=0.78.
A survey for brand recognition is done and it is determined that 68% of consumers have heard of Dull Computer Company. A survey of 800 randomly selected consumers is to be conducted. For such groups of 800, would it be significant to get 634 consumers who recognize the Dull Computer Company name? Consider as significant any result
Answer:
It would be significant
Step-by-step explanation:
Population proportion of consumers who recognize the company name = 68% = 0.68
If 634 consumers out of the 800 randomly selected consumers recognize the company name, sample proportion = 634/800 = 0.7925.
It is significant to get 634 because the sample proportion of consumers who recognize the company name is greater than the population proportion.
Given Information:
Probability = p = 68% = 0.68
Population = n = 800
Answer:
it would not be significant to get 634 consumers who might recognize the name of Dull Computer Company.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can check whether it would be significant to get 635 consumers who recognize the Dull Computer Company by finding out the mean and standard deviation.
mean = μ = np
μ = 800*0.68
μ = 544
standard deviation = σ = √np(1-p)
σ = √800*0.68(1-0.68)
σ = 13.2 ≈ 13
we know that 99% of data fall within 3 standard deviations from the mean
μ ± 3σ = 544+3*13, 544-2*13
μ ± 3σ = 544+39, 544-39
μ ± 3σ = 583, 505
So we can say with 99% confidence that the number of consumers who can recognize the name of Dull Computer Company will be from 505 to 583 and since 583 < 634 we can conclude that it would not be significant to get 634 consumers who might recognize the name of Dull Computer Company.

Answer:
Maya got more than Sam with $630
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam, Aria and Maya in a ratio of 4:9:11
4+9+11 = 24
Sam will get 4/24 x 2160 = 360
Maya will get 11/24 x 2160 =990
Maya got more than Sam with 990-360 = $630
Answer: Maya made $630 more than Sam.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount that Sam, Aria and Maya got paid for painting the house is $2160.
Since they worked for different number of hours on the job, the money was split in the ratio of
4 : 9 : 11
The total ratio is the sum of the proportions. It becomes
4 + 9 + 11 = 24
Therefore, the amount that Sam made was
4/24 × 2160 = $360
The amount that Aria made was
9/24 × 2160 = $810
The amount that Maya made was
11/24 × 2160 = $990
The difference in the amounts made by Maya and Sam is
990 - 360 = $630
Given the following discrete uniform probability distribution, find the expected value and standard deviation of the random variable. Round your final answer to three decimal places, if necessary.
Probability Distribution
x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
P(X=x) 1/11 1/11 1/11 1/11 1/11 1/11 1/11 1/11 1/11 1/11 1/11
The expected value is
[tex]E[X]=\displaystyle\sum_xx\,P(X=x)=\frac1{11}\sum_{x=0}^{10}x=\dfrac{0+1+\cdots+9+10}{11}=\dfrac{55}{11}=\boxed{5}[/tex]
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, which is
[tex]V[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2[/tex]
where
[tex]E[X^2]=\displaystyle\sum_xx^2\,P(X=x)=\frac1{11}\sum_{x=0}^{10}x^2=\dfrac{0^2+1^2+\cdots+9^2+10^2}{11}=\dfrac{385}{11}=35[/tex]
so that
[tex]V[X]=35-5^2=10[/tex]
making the standard deviation
[tex]\sqrt{V[X]}=\sqrt{10}\approx\boxed{3.16}[/tex]
The expected value of the random variable is 5 and the standard deviation is approximately 1.674.
Explanation:To find the expected value of this probability distribution, we multiply each possible outcome by its respective probability and sum the results. The expected value is given by the formula E(X) = ∑(x * P(X=x)). In this case, the expected value is (0 * 1/11) + (1 * 1/11) + (2 * 1/11) + ... + (10 * 1/11) = 5.
To find the standard deviation, we first calculate the variance. The variance is given by the formula Var(X) = ∑((x - E(X))2 * P(X=x)). After calculating the variance, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance. In this case, the variance is ((0 - 5)2 * 1/11) + ((1 - 5)2 * 1/11) + ... + ((10 - 5)2 * 1/11) = 20/11. Taking the square root of 20/11 gives us a standard deviation of approximately 1.674.

The owner of a motel has 2900 m of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular plot of land that borders a straight highway. If she does not fence the side along the highway, what is the largest area that can be enclosed?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the owner of a motel has 2900 m of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular plot of land that borders a straight highway.
Fencing is used for 2times length and 1 width if highway side is taken as width
So we have 2l+w = 2900
Or w = 2900-2l
Area of the rectangular region = lw
[tex]A(l) = l(2900-2l) = 2900l-2l^2\\[/tex]
Use derivative test to find the maximum
[tex]A'(l) = 2900-4l\\A"(l) = -4<0[/tex]
So maximum when I derivative =0
i.e when [tex]l =\frac{2900}{4} =725[/tex]
Largest area = A(725)
= [tex]725(2900-2*725)\\= 1051250[/tex]
1051250 sqm is area maximum
Final answer:
To maximize the area enclosed with 2900 m of fencing along a highway, the motel owner should use a width of 725 m, resulting in a rectangular area of 1,051,250 m².
Explanation:
The motel owner wants to enclose the largest area possible with 2900 m of fencing, without fencing the side along the highway. We can determine the maximum area by recognizing this is an optimization problem that can be solved using calculus or by understanding the properties of geometrical shapes. The most efficient use of the fence, to enclose the maximum area, is to create a shape where two sides are of equal length, essentially a rectangle with one side being the highway. Let's denote the two sides perpendicular to the highway as width (W), and the side opposite the highway as length (L). So, we have 2W + L = 2900. To find the largest enclosed area (A), we use the formula A = W * L. Now, we can express L in terms of W from the fencing constraint as L = 2900 - 2W, and thus express A in terms of W only: A = W * (2900 - 2W).
To maximize the area, we take the derivative of A with respect to W, set it to zero, and solve for W, which will give us the width that maximizes the area. Doing this yields W = 725 m. Therefore, the length (L) will also be 1450 m. Hence, the largest area that can be enclosed is A = 725 m * 1450 m = 1,051,250 m2.
To estimate the mean age for a population of 4000 employees, a simple random sample of 40 employees is selected. If the population standard deviation is 8.2 years, computer the standard error of the mean. (Round to one decimal place) What is the probability that the sample mean age of the employees will be within 2 years of the population mean age
Answer:
The standard error of the mean is 1.3.
87.64% probability that the sample mean age of the employees will be within 2 years of the population mean age
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central limit theorem:
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation, which is also called standard error [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In this problem, we have that:
[tex]\sigma = 8.2, n = 40[/tex]
Computer the standard error of the mean
[tex]s = \frac{8.2}{\sqrt{40}} = 1.3[/tex]
The standard error of the mean is 1.3.
What is the probability that the sample mean age of the employees will be within 2 years of the population mean age
This is the pvalue of Z when [tex]X = \mu + 2[/tex] subtracted by the pvalue of Z when [tex]X = \mu - 2[/tex]. So
[tex]X = \mu + 2[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{\mu + 2 - \mu}{1.3}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.54[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.54[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9382
-----
[tex]X = \mu - 2[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{\mu - 2 - \mu}{1.3}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.54[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.54[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0618
0.9382 - 0.0618 = 0.8764
87.64% probability that the sample mean age of the employees will be within 2 years of the population mean age
Your broker recommends that you purchase XYZ Inc. at $60. The stock pays a $2.40 dividend which (like its per share earnings) is expected to grow annually at 6.5 percent. If you want to earn 11.5 percent on your funds, is this a good buy
Answer:
XYZ is NOT a good buy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the market price of stock:
[tex]\frac{Next year's Dividend}{Reqd.return - Growth rate}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{(2.4)(1.065)}{0.115-0.065}[/tex]
[tex]= 51.12[/tex]
The Market price of the stock is $51. Therefore, buying the stock at $60 is overpriced and is NOT a good buy.
The current process has a mean of 2.50 and a std deviation of 0.05. A new process has been suggested by research. What sample size is required to detect a process average shift of 0.02 at the 95% confidence level
Answer:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
[tex]n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} s}{ME})^2[/tex] (2)
The critical value for 95% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)", and we got [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex], replacing into formula (2) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{1.96(0.05)}{0.02})^2 =24.01 [/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=25 rounded up to the nearest integer
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[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
[tex]\sigma=0.05[/tex] represent the population standard deviation
n represent the sample size (variable of interest)
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
[tex]\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
The margin of error is given by this formula:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
And on this case we have that ME =0.02 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (1) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} s}{ME})^2[/tex] (2)
The critical value for 95% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)", and we got [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex], replacing into formula (2) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{1.96(0.05)}{0.02})^2 =24.01 [/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=25 rounded up to the nearest integer
Hosea's doctor has recommended that his daily diet should include 5 vegetables, 5 fruits, and 4 whole grains. At the grocery store, Hosea has a choice of 19 vegetables, 7 fruits, and 9 whole grains. In how many ways can he get his daily requirements if he doesn't like to eat 2 servings of the same thing in 1 day
Final answer:
Hosea can fulfill his daily dietary requirements in C(19, 5) * C(7, 5) * C(9, 4) ways by choosing from 19 vegetables, 7 fruits, and 9 whole grains without repetition.
Explanation:
The question asks how many ways Hosea can fulfill his daily dietary requirements recommended by his doctor, choosing from a variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains without eating two servings of the same thing in one day. To find the solution, we can use combinations since the order of choosing the items doesn't matter. Hosea has a choice of 19 vegetables, 7 fruits, and 9 whole grains and needs to select 5 vegetables, 5 fruits, and 4 whole grains.
The number of ways to choose 5 vegetables out of 19 is calculated using the combination formula, which is C(n, k) = n! / [k!(n-k)!], resulting in C(19, 5).The number of ways to choose 5 fruits out of 7 is C(7, 5).The number of ways to choose 4 whole grains out of 9 is C(9, 4).To find the total number of ways Hosea can fulfill his dietary requirement, we multiply these combinations together: C(19, 5) * C(7, 5) * C(9, 4).Therefore, Hosea has C(19, 5) * C(7, 5) * C(9, 4) ways to choose his daily servings of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains without repetitions.
When five basketball players are about to have a free-throw competition, they often draw names out of a hat to randomly select the order in which they shoot. What is the probability that they shoot free throws in alphabetical order? Assume each player has a different name. P(shoot free throws in alphabetical order)equals nothing (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Answer:
1/120
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the players have different names, there is only one possible arrangement in which they are in alphabetical order. The total number of ways to order 5 basketball players (n) is:
[tex]n = 5!=5*4*3*2*1\\n=120[/tex]
Therefore, there is a 1/120 probability that they shoot free throws in alphabetical order.
According to a 2010 study conducted by the Toronto-based social media analytics firm Sysomos, 71% of all tweets get no reaction. That is, these are tweets that are not replied to or retweeted (Sysomos website, January 5, 2015).
Suppose we randomly select 100 tweets.
(a) What is the expected number of these tweets with no reaction?
(b) What are the variance and standard deviation for the number of these tweets with no reaction?
Answer:
Expected Number=71
Variance =4959
Standard Deviation= 70.42
Step-by-step explanation:
Expected Number = E (x) = np
Here p = 0.71 and q= 1- 0.71= 0.29 n= 100
Expected Number = E (x) = np = 0.71*100= 71
b) The Variance and Standard Deviation for the number of these tweets with no reaction
Suppose the number of tweets are hundred then the number of tweets with no reaction would be 71 .
Variance = E(x²) - [E(x)]² = (100)²- (71)²= 10000- 5041= 4959
Standard Deviation= √4959= 70.42
