The graph shows how much a plant grew after it was purchased. Which statement is not correct?

Mathematics

Luda [366]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The plant grows 1 cm every day is the incorrect statement

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows that for every 10 days the plant grows 1 cm

10/2 = 5

so in 5 days the plant would grow half of what it does in 10 days so 1/2 or 0.5 cm

10/10 = 1

so in 1 day the plant would grow a tenth of what it does in 10 days so 1/10 or 0.1 cm

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as t
skad [1K]

Answer:

a) 0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

b) 0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

c) 0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

d) None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

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

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as the population mean and assume the population standard deviation of preparation fees is $100.

This means that \mu = 273, \sigma = 100

A) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that n = 30, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}

The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 273 + 16 = 289 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 273 - 16 = 257. So

X = 289

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}

Z = 0.88

Z = 0.88 has a p-value of 0.8106

X = 257

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}

Z = -0.88

Z = -0.88 has a p-value of 0.1894

0.8106 - 0.1894 = 0.6212

0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

B) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that n = 50, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}

X = 289

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}

Z = 1.13

Z = 1.13 has a p-value of 0.8708

X = 257

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}

Z = -1.13

Z = -1.13 has a p-value of 0.1292

0.8708 - 0.1292 = 0.7416

0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

C) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that n = 100, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}

X = 289

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}

Z = 1.6

Z = 1.6 has a p-value of 0.9452

X = 257

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}

Z = -1.6

Z = -1.6 has a p-value of 0.0648

0.9452 - 0.0648 =

0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

D) Which, if any of the sample sizes in part (a), (b), and (c) would you recommend to ensure at least a .95 probability that the same mean is withing $16 of the population mean?

None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.

a square sandbox has an area of 42 squareft what is the approximate perimeter of the sandbox to the nearest hundredth
Ugo [173]

The area of a square is its side length squared. So the side length of the square squared is 42, so the side length of the square is sqrt(42). The perimeter of the square is 4 times the side length, or 4sqrt(42), which is approximately 25.92.
