Four students estimated the width of the door to their classroom. Who made the best estimate?

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

If e = 7, you would replace e in the expression e - 2 with 7 so that the expression becomes 7 - 2 which results in 5.

Does that help?

Of 150 adults selected randomly from one town, 30 of them smoke. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true percentage of

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true percentage of all adults in the town that smoke is (0.1159, 0.2841).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence interval $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

Of 150 adults selected randomly from one town, 30 of them smoke. This means that $n = 150, p = \frac{30}{150} = 0.2$

99% confidence interval

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.20 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.20*0.80}{150}} = 0.1159$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.20 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.20*0.80}{150}}{119}} = 0.2841$

The 99% confidence interval for the true percentage of all adults in the town that smoke is (0.1159, 0.2841).

g Suppose a factory production line uses 3 machines, A, B, and C for making bolts. The total output from the line is distributed

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The probability that it came from A, given that is defective is 0.362.

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the events:

A: The element comes from A.

B: The element comes from B.

C: The element comes from C.

D: The elemens is defective.

We are given that P(A) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.35, P(C) = 0.4. Recall that since the element comes from only one of the machines, if an element is defective, it comes either from A, B or C. Using the probability axioms, we can calculate that

$P(D) = P(A\cap D) + P(B\cap D) + P(C\cap D)$

Recall that given events E,F the conditional probability of E given F is defined as

$P(E|F) = \frac{P(E\cap F)}{P(F)}$ , from where we deduce that

$P(E\cap F) = P(E|F)P(F)$ .

We are given that given that the element is from A, the probability of being defective is 5%. That is P(D|A) =0.05. Using the previous analysis we get that

$P(D) = P(A)P(D|A)+P(B) P(D|B) + P(C)P(D|C) = 0.05\cdot 0.25+0.04\cdot 0.35+0.02\cdot 0.4 = 0.0345$

We are told to calculate P(A|D), then using the formulas we have

$P(A|D) = \frac{P(A\cap D)}{P(D)}= \frac{P(D|A)P(A)}{P(D)}= \frac{0.05\cdot 0.25}{0.0345}= 0.36231884$
