Mary is planning to survey a sample of women to find out how much money the average woman spent on lipstick last year. What sample size will she need, if she wants to be 95% confident that her sample mean is no more than $4 away from the population mean, and assuming a standard deviation of $20? A. 100

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The required sample size = 97

Step-by-step explanation:

If prior population standard deviation is known, then the minimum sample size can be computed as:

[tex]n=(\frac{z^*\times\sigma}{E})^2[/tex]

,where z* = critical z-value

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation

E = Margin of error

As per given,

[tex]\sigma=20,\ E= 4[/tex]

Critical value for 95% confidence = 1.96

[tex]n=(\frac{1.96\times20}{4})^2\\= (1.96\times 5)^2\\= (9.8)^2\\=96.04\approx97[/tex]

Hence, the required sample size = 97

15 POINTS. Ronna is estimating the amount of a 15% tip for a $20.36 bill. Her friend Suri said that $2 is a good estimate. Do you agree? Explain.

Answers

Hi

It's not a good estimation.  2 is  10% of  20, so 5% is 1 dollar.  

As the bill is  above  20, and  15 =  10+5  , so   15% is at least more than 3.

So 3 would be a better estimation.  

In fact, 15% of 20.36  is :  20.36 *0.15 = 3.054

For the function f(x) = 7/2x-16, what is the difference quotient for all nonzero values of h?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x - 16[/tex]

Required

The difference quotient for h

The difference quotient is calculated as:

[tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h}[/tex]

Calculate f(x + h)

[tex]f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x - 16[/tex]

[tex]f(x+h) = \frac{7}{2}(x+h) - 16[/tex]

[tex]f(x+h) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16[/tex]

The numerator of [tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h}[/tex] is:

[tex]f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16 -(\frac{7}{2}x - 16)[/tex]

[tex]f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16 -\frac{7}{2}x + 16[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x -\frac{7}{2}x + \frac{7}{2}h- 16 + 16[/tex]

[tex]f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}h[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}h \div h[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}h * \frac{1}{h}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Find the simple interest on an investment of $3500 for 2.5 years at
5.5% per annum.
$428.52
$482.52
$418.25
$481.25

Answers

Answer:

$481.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is i = p*r*t, in which p is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the time in years.

Here p = $3500, r = 0.055 and t =2.5 yrs, and so the simple interest is

i = ($3500.00)(0.055)(2.5 yr), or

i = $481.25

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of permutation where one has to arrange all the letters of the word taken all at a time. Since in N lettered word if all the letters are different then it can be arranged in N! ways i.e factorial N ways.

In the problem mentioned given

Word : Musical

number of words = 7 (all the words are different)

Number of ways to arrange it = 7!

7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 5040

Hence 5040 is the answer!

5,040. This is the only logical answer because it has to do with probability.

In this case, you would do 7x6x5x4x3x2x1. all positive numbers after 7. So your answer in that comes out to 5,040.

find y when x = 4​

Answers

Answer:

y=90 when x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

[tex]y\propto (x+2)^2[/tex]

When x=8 and y=250

We have to find the value of y when x=4

[tex]y=k(x+2)^2[/tex]

Where k= Proportionality constant

Substitute the values

[tex]250=k(8+2)^2[/tex]

[tex]250=100k[/tex]

[tex]k=\frac{250}{100}[/tex]

[tex]k=5/2[/tex]

Now, substitute x=4 and k=5/2

Then, we get

[tex]y=\frac{5}{2}(4+2)^2[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{5}{2}\times 36[/tex]

[tex]y=90[/tex]

The weight of laboratory grasshoppers follows a Normal distribution, with a mean of 90 grams and a standard deviation of 2 grams. What percentage of the grasshoppers weigh between 86 grams and 94 grams

Answers

Answer:

95.44% of the grasshoppers weigh between 86 grams and 94 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 90 grams and a standard deviation of 2 grams.

This means that [tex]\mu = 90, \sigma = 2[/tex]

What percentage of the grasshoppers weigh between 86 grams and 94 grams?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 94 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 86. So

X = 94

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{94 - 90}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9772.

X = 86

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{86 - 90}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0228.

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544

0.9544*100% = 95.44%

95.44% of the grasshoppers weigh between 86 grams and 94 grams.
