SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300. An administrator at a college is interested in estimating the average SAT score of first-year students. If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample? Make sure to give a whole number answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 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 - 0.88}{2} = 0.06[/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 p-value of [tex]1 - 0.06 = 0.94[/tex], so Z = 1.555.

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.

Standard deviation of 300.

This means that [tex]n = 300[/tex]

If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample?

This is n for which M = 15. So

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

[tex]15 = 1.555\frac{300}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]15\sqrt{n} = 300*1.555[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 15

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 20*1.555[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (20*1.555)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 967.2[/tex]

Rounding up:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

Julie is tracking the growth of a plant for a science project. The height of the plant on the 2nd day she measured was 8 inches and on the 7th day it was 20.5 inches. Assume the relationship is linear

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship is linear, so the plant grows the same amount each day.

The height on the 2nd day was 8 inches:

h₂ = 8

The height on the 7th day was 20.5 inches:

h₇ = h₂ + (7-2)d = 8 + 5d = 20.5

d = 2.5

The plant grows 2.5 inches each day.

A tank contains 9,000 L of brine with 18 kg of dissolved salt. Pure water enters the tank at a rate of 90 L/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed and drains from the tank at the same rate.
(a) How much salt is in the tank after t minutes?
(b) How much salt is in the tank after 20 minutes?

Answers

Let x(t) denote the amount of salt (in kg) in the tank at time t. The tank starts with 18 kg of salt, so x (0) = 18.

The solution is drained from the tank at a rate of 90 L/min, so that the amount of salt in the tank changes according to the differential equation

dx(t)/dt = - (x(t) kg)/(9000 L) × (90 L/min) = -1/100 x(t) kg/min

or, more succintly,

x' = -1/100 x

This equation is separable as

dx/x = -1/100 dt

Integrating both sides gives

∫ dx/x = -1/100 ∫ dt

ln|x| = -1/100 t + C

x = exp(-1/100 t + C )

x = C exp(-t/100)

(a) Using the initial condition x (0) = 18, we find

18 = C exp(0)   ==>   C = 18

so that

x(t) = 18 exp(-t/100)

(b) After 20 minutes, we have

x (20) = 18 exp(-20/100) = 18 exp(-1/5) ≈ 14.74

so the tank contains approximately 14.74 kg of salt after this time.

Decompose -6x/(x+2)(x+8) into partial fractions.

Answers

The partial fraction expansion takes the form

-6x/((x + 2) (x + 8)) = a/(x + 2) + b/(x + 8)

Both factors in the denominator are linear, so the numerators in the corresponding partial fractions have degree 1 - 1 = 0 and are thus constants.

Combine the fractions on the right side into one with a common denominator, then set the numerators on both sides of the equation equal to each other:

-6x = a (x + 8) + b (x + 2)

Expand the right side and collect terms by powers of x :

-6x = (a + b) x + (8a + 2b)

It follows that

a + b = -6   and   8a + 2b = 0

==>   a = -2   and   b = 8

So we end up with

-6x/((x + 2) (x + 8)) = -2/(x + 2) + 8/(x + 8)

The circle graph above shows the distribution of utility expenses for the Hierra family last year. If the family’s total utility expenses last year were $3,600, what were their expensive go water and sewer.
Water and sewer=X%
Electric=30%
Heating and gas=50%

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - $720 or 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total expense = 3600

Electric=30%

Heating and gas=50%

Water and sewer=X%

Solution:

For electric: 3600*30/100 = 1080

for heating and gas: 3600*50/100 = 1800

Left money for expense of water and shower = total - (electric and heating)

= 3600-1880

= 720

Percentage of water and shower = 720*100/3600

= 20%

The length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 77 yd^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

width = 7, length = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

area = 77

length = 3w - 10

width = w

w(3w - 10) = 77

3w^2 - 10w - 77 = 0

(3w + 11)(w - 7) = 0

we rule out 3w + 11 = 0 because w would be negative

so we use w - 7 = 0

so the width = 7

length = 3w - 10

length = 21 - 10

length = 11

A ball is thrown from an initial height of 4 feet with an initial upward velocity of 40 feet per second. The ball's height h (in feet) after t seconds is given by the following. h=4+40t-16t2 Find all values of for which the ball's height is 26 feet.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the times that the height is 26 feet, we set the position equation equal to 26 and solve for t:

[tex]26=-16t^2+40t+4[/tex] and

[tex]0=-16t^2+40t-22[/tex] and factor that however you are factoring in class to solve a problem like this. When you do that you get

t = .86 seconds and t = 1.68 seconds. That means that .86 seconds after the ball is thrown into the air, it reaches a height of 26 feet; it goes up to its max height and then gravity takes over and pulls it back down. When this happens, it will pass 26 feet again on its way back down. This second time is after 1.68 seconds.

Your true height is 70.2 inches. A laser device at a health clinic that gives measurements to thenearest hundredth reads your height as 71.05 inches. A tape measure gives reading to the nearest haftinches gives your height as 69.5 inches. State which measurement is more precise and which measurementis more accurate and explain why.

Answers

Answer:

Accuracy = Tape measurement.

Precision = Laser measurement

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

True height, = 70.2 inches

Laser measured height = 71.05 (nearest hundredth)

Tape measured height = 69.5 - nearest half inch.

Accuracy simply means how close a measured value is to the true value of the measurement. ;

True height - tape measurement

70.2 - 69.5 = 0.7

True measurement - laser measurement :

|70.2 - 71.05| = 0.85

Fron the difference in the values, the measurement which is closer to the true height is the tape measurement.

However, in terms of detail in the measured value, the laser measure value is expressed to the nearest hundredth, hence giving it more precision over the tape measured value.
