Suppose a 90% confidence interval for the mean salary of college graduates in a town in Mississippi is given by [$38,737, $50,463]. The population standard deviation used for the analysis is known to be $14,300.
a. What is the point estimate of the mean salary for all college graduates in this town?
Point estimate
b. Determine the sample size used for the analysis.
Sample size

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. The point estimate was of $44,600.

b. The sample size was of 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval concepts:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds.

The margin of error is the difference between the two bounds, divided by 2.

a. What is the point estimate of the mean salary for all college graduates in this town?

Mean of the bounds, so:

(38737+50463)/2 = 44600.

The point estimate was of $44,600.

b. Determine the sample size used for the analysis.

First we need to find the margin of error, so:

[tex]M = \frac{50463-38737}{2} = 5863[/tex]

Relating the margin of error with the sample size:

We have that 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 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/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 pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.64.

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.

For this problem, we have that [tex]\sigma = 14300, M = 5863[/tex]. So

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

[tex]5863 = 1.645\frac{14300}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]5863\sqrt{n} = 1.645*14300[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*14300}{5863}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*14300}{5863})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 16[/tex]

The sample size was of 16.

The yearbook staff receive 75 submissions for yearbook articles. Paul will acceptſ of all submissions. Currently, Paul plans for the yearbook to have 156
pages.
How many more pages will Paul need to add to the yearbook to have 2 articles on every 13 pages? Show your work and explain your thinking.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 332 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

number of articles submissions - 75

number of pages in the yearbook on current plan = 156

pages required for two articles = 13 pages.

The number of pages to add = ?

Solution:

1 article takes pages in the yearbook = 13/2

= 6.5

the number of pages required for 75 articles = 75*6.5

= 487.5

The number of pages to add in the yearbook = 487.5 - 156

= 331.5 or 332.

Thus, the correct answer is - 332 pages.

Determine whether the vectors u and v are parallel, orthogonal, or neither.
u = <2,-4>, v = <6,3> (5 points)

Answers

Answer:  orthogonal

===========================================================

Explanation:

For any two vectors defined as follows

u = <a,b>

v = <c,d>

the dot product is computed by

u dot v = a*c + b*d

If the dot product of the vectors is 0, then the vectors are orthogonal. Meaning they are perpendicular to one another.

-------------------

Let's find the dot product of these two given vectors

u = < 2, -4 >

v = < 6, 3 >

u dot v = 2*6 + (-4)*3

u dot v = 12 - 12

u dot v = 0

Therefore, these two vectors form a right angle and are orthogonal

-------------------

Extra info:

If we can show that u = <a, b> and v = <ka, kb> for some real number k, then we have shown that vectors u and v are parallel.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide the shape in 2 or more parts so that you can find it step by step

Divide this shape in three parts:

One part (blue): 2 m and 3 m rectangle

Second part (orange): 5 m and 12 m rectangle

Third part (red): 6 m and 3 m rectangle

(you can also see this below: in the pic there are three parts so you figure out that which is the correct value for the sides)

Now, find area of each shape by multiplying its values:

1st shape: 3 x 2 = 6

2nd shape: 5 x 12 = 60

3rd shape: 6 x 3 = 18

As you have the area of all the different shapes,

add all of them:

6 + 60 + 18 = 84 sq meters

I hope this helps :)

When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial samples of different blood specimens. If samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture, assuming the probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

Answers

Answer:

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each test, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is positive, or it is negative. The probability of a test being positive or negative is independent of any other test, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

This means that [tex]p = 0.06[/tex]

If samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

It will be positive if at least one of the tests is positive, that is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.06)^{0}.(0.94)^{3} = 0.8306[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.8306 = 0.1694[/tex]

0.1694 = 16.94% probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture.

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 1) and a directrix of y = -1. ​

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is y = x²/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given focus of the parabola = (0, 1)

The directrix of the parabola is y = -1

A form of the equation of a parabola is presented as follows;

(x - h)² = 4·p·(y - k)

We note that the equation of the directrix is y = k - p

The focus = (h, k + p)

Therefore, by comparison, we have;

k + p = 1...(1)

k - p = -1...(2)

h = 0...(3)

Adding equation (1) to equation (2) gives;

On the left hand side of the addition, we have;

k + p + (k - p) = k + k + p - p = 2·k

On the right hand side of the addition, we have;

1 + -1 = 0

Equating both sides, gives;

2·k = 0

∴ k = 0/2 = 0

From equation (1)

k + p = 0 + 1 = 1

∴ p = 1

Plugging in the values of the variables, 'h', 'k', and 'p' into the equation of the parabola, (x - h)² = 4·p·(y - k), gives;

(x - 0)² = 4 × 1 × (y - 0)

∴ x² = 4·y

The general form of the equation of the parabola, y = a·x² + b·x + c, is therefore;

y = x²/4.

Answer:

We know that the height equation is given by:

H(t) = -16*t^2 + 108*t + 28

in ft.

First, we want to find the maximum height of the ball.

The first thing we can see is that the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation is negative, this means that the arms of the graph will open downwards, so the vertex of the quadratic equation is the maximum.

We also know that the ball will reach its maximum height when its velocity is zero (this means that the object stops going upwards at this point).

To get the velocity equation we need to derivate the above equation, we will get:

V(t) = 2*(-16)*t + 1*108

V(t) = -32*t + 108

We need to find the value of t such that this is zero, we will get:

V(t) = 0 =  -32*t + 108

        32*t = 108

             t = 108/32 = 3.375

So the ball reaches its maximum height after 3.375 seconds.

Then the maximum height is given by the height equation evaluated in that time, we will get:

H(3.375) =  -16*(3.375)^2 + 108*3.375 + 28 = 210.25

Then the maximum height of the ball is 210.25 ft

The ball will hit the ground when:

H(t) = 0

Then we just need to solve:

0 =  -16*t^2 + 108*t + 28

Using the Bhaskara's equation we can find that the two solutions for t are:

[tex]t = \frac{-108 \pm \sqrt{(108)^2 - 4*(-16)*28} }{2*(-16)} = \frac{-108 \pm 116}{-32}[/tex]

So the two solutions are:

t = (-108 + 116)/-32 = -0.25

t = (-108 - 116)/-32 = 7

Because t represents time, we should take only the positive value of time (as t = 0 is the time when the ball is thrown).

Then we can conclude that the ball hits the ground after 7 seconds.

A Hamiltonian circuit visits each node once and returns to its start. There is no simple way to determine if such a circuit exists.

__

For graph 2, if there were a circuit, paths ACB, ADB, and AEB would all have to be on it. Inclusion of all of those requires visiting nodes A and B more than once, so the circuit cannot exist.

For graph 3, the circuit must include paths BAD and DFE. That only leaves node C, which can be reached from both nodes B and E, so path ECB completes the circuit.
