In measuring reaction time, a psychologist estimates that a standard deviation is .05 seconds. How large a sample of measurement

s must he take in order to be 95% confident that the error in his estimate of mean reaction time will not exceed 0.01 seconds?

Answer:

97

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the size of sample to be 95% confident that the error in psychologist estimate of mean reaction time will not exceed 0.01 seconds.

We will use following formula to solve our given problem.

n\geq (\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sigma}{E})^2, where,

\sigma=\text{Standard deviation}=0.05,

\alpha=\text{Significance level}=1-0.95=0.05,

z_{\alpha/2}=\text{Critical value}=z_{0.025}=1.96.

E=\text{Margin of error}

n=\text{Sample size}

Substitute given values:

n\geq (\frac{z_{0.025}\cdot\sigma}{E})^2

n\geq (\frac{1.96\cdot0.05}{0.01})^2

n\geq (\frac{0.098}{0.01})^2

n\geq (9.8)^2

n\geq 96.04

Therefore, the sample size must be 97 in order to be 95% confident that the error in his estimate of mean reaction time will not exceed 0.01 seconds.

laiz [17]

Answer: The numbers are showing in descending order 3.6-1.8= 1.8 = 1.8 is half of 3.6 - therefore if 1200 is half again = 0.8 then what lies between 1.8 and 0.8?  Answer to 1000 is 0.8 +5 = 1.3

1) write a system on equations with the solution (2, -3). Work the problem out using the substitution method
solmaris [256]

The system of the equations that have the solution of (2, -3) are given below.

3x + 2y = 0 and 3y = 2x - 13

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A Linear system is a system in which the degree of the variable in the equation is one. It may contain one, two, or more than two variables.

Write a system of equations with the solution (2, -3).

From a single point, an infinite number of lines pass through this point.

Let one line is passing through the origin. Then the equation of the line will be

\rm y  = \dfrac{-3}{2} (x)\\\\y = -1.5x

And the other line is perpendicular to the line which is passing through the origin and a point (2, -3).

\rm y = \dfrac{2}{3} x + c

Then this line also passes through a point (2, -3). Then the value of c will be

\rm -3 = \dfrac{2}{3} \times 2 + c\\\\c \ \  = -13

Then the equation of the line will be

3y = 2x -13

What’s the next step to solve the equation -2(n+3)= 9
elena-s [515]

Answer:

-15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The next step would be to distribute the negative two through the parenthesis,

-2n-6=9

then you add the six, -2n= 15

then you divide by 15 by negative 2 and get -15/2
