1 answer:

7 0

If inspection department wants to estimate the mean amount with 95% confidence level with standard deviation 0.05 then it needed a sample size of 97.

Given 95% confidence level, standard deviation=0.05.

We know that margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

We assume that the values follow normal distribution. Normal distribution is a probability that is symmetric about the mean showing the data near the mean are more frequent in occurence than data far from mean.

We know that margin of error for a confidence interval is given by:

Me= $z/2* ST/\sqrt{N}$

α=1-0.95=0.05

α/2=0.025

z with α/2=1.96 (using normal distribution table)

Solving for n using formula of margin of error.

$n=(z/2ST/Me)^{2}$

n= $(1.96*0.05)^{2} /(0.01)^{2}$

=96.4

By rounding off we will get 97.

Hence the sample size required will be 97.

Calculus Problem

Roman55 [17]

The two parabolas intersect for

$8-x^2 = x^2 \implies 2x^2 = 8 \implies x^2 = 4 \implies x=\pm2$

and so the base of each solid is the set

$B = \left\{(x,y) \,:\, -2\le x\le2 \text{ and } x^2 \le y \le 8-x^2\right\}$

The side length of each cross section that coincides with B is equal to the vertical distance between the two parabolas, $|x^2-(8-x^2)| = 2|x^2-4|$ . But since -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, this reduces to $2(x^2-4)$ .

a. Square cross sections will contribute a volume of

$\left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = 4(x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x$

where ∆x is the thickness of the section. Then the volume would be

$\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 4(x^2-4)^2 \, dx = 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx \\\\ = 8 \int_0^2 (x^4-8x^2+16) \, dx \\\\ = 8 \left(\frac{2^5}5 - \frac{8\times2^3}3 + 16\times2\right) = \boxed{\frac{2048}{15}}$

where we take advantage of symmetry in the first line.

b. For a semicircle, the side length we found earlier corresponds to diameter. Each semicircular cross section will contribute a volume of

$\dfrac\pi8 \left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = \dfrac\pi2 (x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x$

We end up with the same integral as before except for the leading constant:

$\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 \frac\pi2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \pi \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx$

Using the result of part (a), the volume is

$\displaystyle \frac\pi8 \times 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \boxed{\frac{256\pi}{15}}}$

c. An equilateral triangle with side length s has area √3/4 s², hence the volume of a given section is

$\dfrac{\sqrt3}4 \left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = \sqrt3 (x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x$

and using the result of part (a) again, the volume is

$\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 \sqrt 3(x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \frac{\sqrt3}4 \times 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \boxed{\frac{512}{5\sqrt3}}$

What is the product of -2x^3+x-5 and x^3-3x-4 ?

murzikaleks [220]

To find the product of <span>-2x^3+x-5 and x^3-3x-4, we need to multiply each term in the first polynomial by the second polynomial. (So, x^3 - 3x - 4) times ....
-2x^3 = -2x^6 + 6x^4 + 8x^3
x = x^4 - 3x^2 - 4x
-5 = -5x^3 + 15x + 20
If we add all these together, we get (-2x^6 + 7x^4 + 3x^3 - 3x^2 + 11x + 20)</span>
