The amount of television viewed by today's youth is of primary concern to Parents Against Watching Television (PAWT). 300 parents of elementary school-aged children were asked to estimate the number of hours per week that their child watched television. The mean and the standard deviation for their responses were 16 and 4, respectively. PAWT constructed a stem-and-leaf display for the data that showed that the distribution of times was a bell-shaped distribution. Give an interval around the mean where you believe most (approximately 95%) of the television viewing times fell in the distribution.
A) between 12 and 20 hours per week
B) between 8 and 24 hours per weelk
C) between4 and 28 hours per week
D) less than 12 and more than 20 hours per week

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B) between 8 and 24 hours per week

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 16, standard deviation of 4.

Give an interval around the mean where you believe most (approximately 95%) of the television viewing times fell in the distribution.

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so:

16 - 4*2 = 16 - 8 = 8 hours per week.

16 + 4*2 = 16 + 8 = 24 hours per week.

This means that the correcgt answer is given by option B.

The number of members in a labor union is 240, and the number increases by 5% each year. Find the number of members after 4 years.​

Answers

Answer: 292

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 240 members in a labor union

The number increases by 5% each year

After 1 year it is

[tex]\Rightarrow 240+5\%\times 240\\\Rightarrow 240(1+0.05)[/tex]

After 2 years

[tex]\Rightarrow 240(1+0.05)+5\%\times 240(1+0.05)\\\Rightarrow 240(1+0.05)(1+0.05)=240(1+0.05)^2[/tex]

Similarly, after 4 years

[tex]\Rightarrow 240(1+0.05)^4\\\Rightarrow 291.72\approx 292[/tex]

vTo estimate the parameter stated in question 2, the following was done. A simple random sample of 22 students who attended a review session was selected, and the mean grade on test 7 for this sample of 22 students was 85 with a standard deviation of 9.8. An independent simple random sample of 47 students who did not attend a review session was selected, and the mean grade on test 7 was 77 with a standard deviation of 10.6. If appropriate, use this information to calculate and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the mean grade on test 7 for all students who attended a review session and for all students who did not attend a review session.

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference in the mean grade on test 7 for all students who attended a review session and for all students who did not attend a review session is (3.7, 12.3).

Step-by-step explanation:

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

A simple random sample of 22 students who attended a review session was selected, and the mean grade on test 7 for this sample of 22 students was 85 with a standard deviation of 9.8.

This means that:

[tex]\mu_A = 85, s_A = \frac{9.8}{\sqrt{22}} = 2.09[/tex]

An independent simple random sample of 47 students who did not attend a review session was selected, and the mean grade on test 7 was 77 with a standard deviation of 10.6.

This means that:

[tex]\mu_N = 77, s_N = \frac{10.6}{\sqrt{47}} = 1.55[/tex]

Distribution of the difference in the mean grade on test 7 for all students who attended a review session and for all students who did not attend a review session.

Mean:

[tex]\mu = \mu_A - \mu_N = 85 - 77 = 8[/tex]

Standard deviation:

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_A^2 + s_B^2} = \sqrt{2.09^2 + 1.55^2} = 2.6[/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 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = zs[/tex]

So

[tex]M = 1.645*2.6 = 4.3[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 8 - 4.3 = 3.7

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 8 + 4.3 = 12.3

The 90% confidence interval for the difference in the mean grade on test 7 for all students who attended a review session and for all students who did not attend a review session is (3.7, 12.3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the event of win be given by 1/10 in the game of rifle then the event of loose is given by 9/10

the

Odds in favor of a game are given by  = P(Event)/ 1- P(Event)

Odds in favor of winning a rifle are given by = 1/10/ 1- 1/10

                                                                         =1/10/9/10

                                                                          =1/9

                                                                             = 0.111

The probability of winning aa rifle game is 0.111

The probability of winning the carnival game is 0.15

Comparing the two probabilities   0.111:0.15

The probability of  winning carnival game is greater than winning a rifle game

0.15>0.11

Hence the carnival game gives you better chance of winning.

Solve for V . 7v-20=-6(v-1) Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answers

Answer:

v = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by distributing -6:

7v - 20 = -6v + 6

To combine the like x terms, you can add 6v to both sides:

7v - 20 = -6v + 6

+6v          +6v

13v - 20 = 6

Now add 20 to both sides to isolate the x term:

13v - 20 = 6

      +20   +20

13v = 26

You can divide by 13 on both sides to find v,

13v = 26

÷13    ÷13

v = 2

Answer:

v= 2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

7v−20=−6(v−1)  

7v+−20=−6v+6

7v−20=−6v+6

Step 2: Add 6v to both sides.

7v−20+6v=−6v+6+6v

13v−20=6

Step 3: Add 20 to both sides.

13v−20+20=6+20

13v=26

Step 4: Divide both sides by 13.

13v/13   = 26/13  

v=2

An article reported that for a sample of 58 kitchens with gas cooking appliances monitored during a one-week period, the sample mean CO2 level (ppm) was 654.16, and the sample standard deviation was 164.55. (a) Calculate and interpret a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for true average CO2 level in the population of all homes from which the sample was selected. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 611.81 , 696.51 ppm

Answers

Answer:

95% Confidence Interval = (611.81 ppm, 696.51 ppm)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Confidence Interval is given as:

Confidence Interval = Mean ± z × s /√n

Mean = the sample mean/average = 654.16

s = the sample standard deviation = 164.55

z = z score of 95% confidence interval = 1.96

Confidence Interval =

654.16 ± 1.96 × 164.55/√58

= 654.16 ± 42.348

Hence,

654.16 - 42.348

= 611.812

Approximately to two decimal places = 611.81 ppm

654.16 + 42.348

= 696.508

Approximately to two decimal places = 696.51 ppm

Therefore, the 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for true average CO2 level in the population of all homes from which the sample was selected is (611.81 ppm, 696.51 ppm).

Answer:

y = 10(½)^(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

In writing exponential functions passing through points, we will just substitute the x and y values in each case into y = ab^(x).

Now, for point (-1, 20), the exponential function is; 20 = ab^(-1)

20 = a/b

For the point (1, 5), the exponential function is; 5 = ab^(1)

5 = ab

From 20 = a/b, we have; a = 20b

Thus, putting 20b for a in 5 = ab, we have;

5 = 20b(b)

b² = 5/20

b² = 1/4

b = √(1/4)

b = 1/2

Since a = 20b, then;

a = 20 × 1/2

a = 10

Thus, from y = ab^(x), we have;

y = 10(½)^(x)

friends rate = room/x

combined rate = room/8 + room/x

= room(x+8)/(8x)

then

5 = room / [room(x+8)/(8x)]

5 = 8x/(x+8)

8x = 5x + 40

3x = 40

x = 40/3 = 13 1/3

Answer: -0.833 (repeating decimal)

Step-by-step explanation: fg(x) means plug the g(x) equation into f(x), and for gf(x) it’s vice versa:

Fg(x) = 3x^2 - 1 + 2

Gf(x) = 3(x + 2)^2 - 1

First, we should simplify gf(x) to eliminate the (x + 2)^2:

3(x^2 + 4x + 4) - 1

3x^2 + 12x + 12 - 1

3x^2 + 12x + 11

Second, simplify fg(x) by solving -1 + 2: 1

Now, we can set the two equations equal to each other and solve:

3x^2 + 1 = 3x^2 + 12x + 11 (subtract 3x^2 from each other and 1 from 11)
