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.

Assume that 2 cards are drawn from a standard 52-card deck. Find the following probabilities.
topjm [15]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

WITHOUT replacement of first card drawn:

P(a 10 is drawn) = 13/52 = 1/4

P(the next draw is a 10) = 12/52 = 3/13

P(drawing two 10s without replacement of the first draw) = (1/4)(3/13) = 3/52

WITH replacement of first card:

P(two 10s are drawn) = P(first card is a 10)*P(first card is a 10) = (4/13)(4/13) =
