At a large Midwestern university, a simple random sample of 100 entering freshmen in 1993 found that 20 of the sampled freshmen finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Admission standards at the university were tightened in 1995. In 1997, a simple random sample of 100 entering freshmen found that only 10 finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Let p 1 and p 2 be the proportions of all entering freshmen in 1993 and 1997, respectively, who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class. What is a 90% plus four confidence interval for p 1 – p 2?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference of proportions is (0.01775,0.18225).

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 establishes 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.

p1 -> 1993

20 out of 100, so:

[tex]p_1 = \frac{20}{100} = 0.2[/tex]

[tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{100}} = 0.04[/tex]

p2 -> 1997

10 out of 100, so:

[tex]p_2 = \frac{10}{100} = 0.1[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.1*0.9}{100}} = 0.03[/tex]

Distribution of p1 – p2:

[tex]p = p_1 - p_2 = 0.2 - 0.1 = 0.1[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.04^2 + 0.03^2} = 0.05[/tex]

Confidence interval:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which

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

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].  

The lower bound of the interval is:

[tex]p - zs = 0.1 - 1.645*0.05 = 0.01775 [/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]p + zs = 0.1 + 1.645*0.05 = 0.18225 [/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the difference of proportions is (0.01775,0.18225).

This makes the short leg to be 18/2 = 9 units long.

We then multiply this by [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] to get the length of the long leg.

[tex]\text{long leg} = (\text{short leg})*\sqrt{3}\\\text{long leg} =9\sqrt{3}[/tex]

A store is having a sale on chocolate chips and walnuts. For 8 pounds of chocolate chips and 3 pounds of walnuts, the total cost is $34. For 2 pounds of chocolate chips and 5 pounds of walnuts, the total cost is $17. Find the cost for each pound of chocolate chips and each pound of walnuts.

Answers

Answer:

chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.

nd walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of walnuts and y the price of chocolate chips.

2x + 5y = 17 (i)

8x + 3y = 34 (ii)

Multiply (i) by 4 to get

8x + 20y = 68

Subtract (ii) to get

 17y = 34

Dividing by 17, we see that chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.

Substituting y=2 in (i) or (ii), walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.

A rocket is launched at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, is given by the equation
h = -4.9t2 + 112t + 395.
At what time does the rocket hit the ground? The rocket hits the ground after how many seconds

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out how long it takes for the rocket to hit the ground, we only need set that position equation equal to 0 (that's how high something is off the ground when it is sitting ON the ground) and factor to solve for t:

[tex]0=-4.9t^2+112t+395[/tex]

Factor that however you are factoring in class to get

t = -3.1 seconds and t = 25.9 seconds.

Since time can NEVER be negative, it takes the rocket approximately 26 seconds to hit the ground.

Max needs to paint a wall that is shaped like a square. He knows that the area of the wall is 75 ft2 . He needs to find the height of the wall. Find the height of the wall to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

Answer:

8.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the square area formula, a = s², where s is the side length of the square.

Plug in the area and solve for s:

a = s²

75 = s²

√75 = s

8.7 = s

So, to the nearest tenth of a foot, the height is 8.7 feet

Answers

Here we want to solve a question involving fractions, we will find that:

3/4 gallon fils the complete bin.

Ok, so we know that 1/2 gallon of water, fills 2/3 of the bin.

We want to find the total amount of water that would fill the entire bin.

So we could write an equation like:

amount of water =  amount of the bin that it fills.

Then, using the above information, we have:

1/2 gal  = 2/3 of a bin

Now we want to get at 1 on the right side, this would mean "1 bin"

Then we multiply both sides by (3/2)

(3/2)*(1/2) gal = (3/2)*(2/3) of a bin

3/4 gal = 1 bin

From this, we can conclude that (3/4) gallons of water would fill the complete bin.

We will take 3/3 since we have the information that 2/3 of the volume of the bin was filled with 2/3 of a gallon

If  2/3 of the volume of the bin was filled with 1/2 gallon then we make a rule of three according to:

If     0,5  gal.         fill    2/3 of the volume of the bin   then

          x   gal         fill     3/3  ( the volume of the bin)

You are dealt two cards successively without replacement from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the first card is a two and the second card is a ten.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{4}{51} = \frac{16}{2652} = 0.00603 = 0.603\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in a standard deck, and there are 4 suits for each card. Therefore there are 4 twos and 4 tens.

At first we have 52 cards to choose from, and we need to get 1 of the 4 twos, therefore the probability is just

[tex]\frac{4}{52}[/tex]

After we've chosen a two, we need to choose one of the 4 tens. But remember that we're now choosing out of a deck of just 51 cards, since one card was removed. Therefore the probability is

[tex]\frac{4}{51}[/tex]

Now to get the total probability we need to multiply the two probabilities together

[tex]\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{4}{51} = \frac{16}{2652} = 0.00603 = 0.603\%[/tex]

Beta B \beta B=0.8

Stock 1 Growth rates of earnings and dividends G_1=10\%

Stock 2 Growth rates of earnings and dividends  G_2=5\%

Stock 1  Dividend yields D_1=5\%

Stock 2 Dividend yields  D_2=7\%

Generally the equation for Expected Returns is mathematically given by

Expected Returns =Growth rates+Dividend yields

For Stock 1

Expected\ Returns =G_1+D_1

Expected\ Returns =5%+10%

Expected\ Returns =15%

For Stock 2

Expected\ Returns =G_2+D_2

Expected\ Returns =7%+5%

Expected\ Returns =12%

Therefore

a) Yes , Cause The Expected Returns of stock A is Higher than that of B

use undetermined coefficient to determine the solution of:y"-3y'+2y=2x+ex+2xex+4e3x​

Answers

First check the characteristic solution: the characteristic equation for this DE is

r ² - 3r + 2 = (r - 2) (r - 1) = 0

with roots r = 2 and r = 1, so the characteristic solution is

y (char.) = C₁ exp(2x) + C₂ exp(x)

For the ansatz particular solution, we might first try

y (part.) = (ax + b) + (cx + d) exp(x) + e exp(3x)

where ax + b corresponds to the 2x term on the right side, (cx + d) exp(x) corresponds to (1 + 2x) exp(x), and e exp(3x) corresponds to 4 exp(3x).

However, exp(x) is already accounted for in the characteristic solution, we multiply the second group by x :

y (part.) = (ax + b) + (cx ² + dx) exp(x) + e exp(3x)

Now take the derivatives of y (part.), substitute them into the DE, and solve for the coefficients.

y' (part.) = a + (2cx + d) exp(x) + (cx ² + dx) exp(x) + 3e exp(3x)

… = a + (cx ² + (2c + d)x + d) exp(x) + 3e exp(3x)

y'' (part.) = (2cx + 2c + d) exp(x) + (cx ² + (2c + d)x + d) exp(x) + 9e exp(3x)

… = (cx ² + (4c + d)x + 2c + 2d) exp(x) + 9e exp(3x)

Substituting every relevant expression and simplifying reduces the equation to

(cx ² + (4c + d)x + 2c + 2d) exp(x) + 9e exp(3x)

… - 3 [a + (cx ² + (2c + d)x + d) exp(x) + 3e exp(3x)]

… +2 [(ax + b) + (cx ² + dx) exp(x) + e exp(3x)]

= 2x + (1 + 2x) exp(x) + 4 exp(3x)

… … …

2ax - 3a + 2b + (-2cx + 2c - d) exp(x) + 2e exp(3x)

= 2x + (1 + 2x) exp(x) + 4 exp(3x)

Then, equating coefficients of corresponding terms on both sides, we have the system of equations,

x : 2a = 2

1 : -3a + 2b = 0

exp(x) : 2c - d = 1

x exp(x) : -2c = 2

exp(3x) : 2e = 4

Solving the system gives

a = 1, b = 3/2, c = -1, d = -3, e = 2

Then the general solution to the DE is

y(x) = C₁ exp(2x) + C₂ exp(x) + x + 3/2 - (x ² + 3x) exp(x) + 2 exp(3x)

                          Difference    of MD

P1        $5,000       $500        $250,000

Mean $4,500 ($13,500/3)    $166,667 ($500,000/3)

Standard Deviation = Square root of $166,667 = 408.2

Margin of error = (z-score * standard deviation)/n

Confidence Interval = Sample mean +/- Margin of error

Let Population 1 be sleds pulled by Siberian Huskies and let Population 2 be sleds pulled by other breeds. Step 1 of 2 : Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean times on this course for teams of Siberian Huskies and teams of other breeds of sled dogs

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean times on this course for teams of Siberian Huskies and teams of other breeds of sled dogs is (-0.8276, 0.2276).

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 establishes 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.  

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.

Siberian Huskies:

Sample of 47, mean of 5.2 minutes, standard deviation of 1.4. So

[tex]\mu_1 = 5.2[/tex]

[tex]s_1 = \frac{1.4}{\sqrt{47}} = 0.2042[/tex]

Others:

Sample of 39, mean of 5.5 minutes, standard deviation of 1.1. So

[tex]\mu_2 = 5.5[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \frac{1.1}{\sqrt{39}} = 0.1761[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]\mu = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 5.2 - 5.5 = -0.3[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.2042^2+0.1761^2} = 0.2692[/tex]

Confidence interval:

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 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/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 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = zs[/tex]

In which s is the standard error. So

[tex]M = 1.96(0.2692) = 0.5276[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is -0.3 - 0.5276 = -0.8276.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is -0.3 + 0.5276 = 0.2276

The 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean times on this course for teams of Siberian Huskies and teams of other breeds of sled dogs is (-0.8276, 0.2276).

This means that between 42 and 48 months, 36.14 % of scanners could be predicted will break down.

A biologist was interested in determining whether sunflower seedlings treated with and an extract from Vinca minor roots resulted in a lower average height of sunflower seedlings that the standard height of 15.7 cm. The biologist treated a random sample of 33 seedlings with the extract and subsequently measured the height of those seedlings. At the 0.01 significance level, is there evidence that the true average height of the seedlings treated with an extract from Vinca minor roots is less than 15.7 cm?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μ = 15.7

H1 : μ < 15.7

This is a one sample t test :

Test statistic = (xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

n = sample size = 33

Using calculator :

The sample mean, xbar = 15.41

The sample standard deviation, s = 0.419

Test statistic = (15.41 - 15.70) ÷ (0.419/√(33))

Test statistic = - 3.976

Using the Pvalue calculator :

Degree of freedom, df = n - 1 ; 33 - 1 = 32

Pvalue(-3.976, 32) = 0.000187

Decison region :

Reject H0 if Pvalue < α

Since Pvalue < α ; we reject H0

There is significant evidence to conclude that the true average height of the seedlings treated with an extract from Vinca minor roots is less than 15.7 cm.

Lynbrook West, an apartment complex, has 100 two-bedroom units. The monthly profit (in dollars) realized from renting out x apartments is given by the following function. p(x)=-12x^2+2160x-59000 To maximize the monthly rental profit, how many units should be rented out? units What is the maximum monthly profit realizable?

Answers

Answer:

To maximize the monthly rental profit, 90 units should be rented out.

The maximum monthly profit realizable is $38,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

[tex]f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c[/tex]

It's vertex is the point [tex](x_{v}, y_{v})[/tex]

In which

[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]y_{v} = -\frac{\Delta}{4a}[/tex]

Where

[tex]\Delta = b^2-4ac[/tex]

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at [tex]x_{v}[/tex], and it's value is [tex]y_{v}[/tex].

In this question:

Quadratic equation with [tex]a = -12, b = 2160, c = -59000[/tex]

To maximize the monthly rental profit, how many units should be rented out?

This is the x-value of the vertex, so:

[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{2160}{2(-12)} = \frac{2160}{24} = 90[/tex]

To maximize the monthly rental profit, 90 units should be rented out.

What is the maximum monthly profit realizable?

This is p(90). So

[tex]p(90) = -12(90)^2 + 2160(90) - 59000 = 38200[/tex]

The maximum monthly profit realizable is $38,200.
