An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 1414 for the population of normal adults. Find the

sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 9090% confidence that the sample mean is within 66 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that sigmaσequals=1414 and determine the required sample size using technology. Then determine if this is a reasonable sample size for a real world calculation.

Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate critical z factor

the alpha and the critical z score for a confidence level of 90% is calculated as follows:

two sided alpha = (100% - 90%) / 200 = 0.05

critical z factor for two sided alpha of .05 is calculated as follows:

critical z factor = z factor for (1 - .05) = z factor for (.95) which through the attached graph becomes:

critical z factor = 2.58

Now we have the following formula:

ME = z * (sd / sqrt (N) ^ (1/2))

where ME is the margin of error and is equal to 6, sd is the standard deviation which is 14 and the value of z is 2.58

N the sample size and we want to know it, replacing:

6 = 2.58 * (14 / (N) ^ (1/2))

solving for N we have:

N = (2.58 * 14/6) ^ 2

N = 36.24

Which means that the sample size was 37.

Is there a relation between the age difference between husband/wives and the percent of a country that is literate? Researcher

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$y = \beta_1 x + \beta_o$

With $\beta_1$ representing the slope we have that:

$\hat \beta_1 = -0.0437$

$\hat \beta_o = 7.5$

And we are interest on this case the interpretation about the slope and we can conclude that:

For every unit increase in literacy rate (percent of the population that is literate) the age difference (husband minus wife age) falls by 0.0437 units, on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have that the regression model adjusted between age difference (husband minus wife age) representing the y variable and literacy rate (percent of the population that is literate) representing the variable x is given by:

$y= -0.0437 x + 7.5$ where $17 \leq x\leq 100$

And we know that the method used in order to adjust the regression line was least squares.

For this case our dependent variable is y = age difference (husband minus wife age) and the independent variable is x=literacy rate (percent of the population that is literate)

If we compare the regression model adjusted with the linear regression model:

$y = \beta_1 x + \beta_o$

With $\beta_1$ representing the slope we have that:

$\hat \beta_1 = -0.0437$

$\hat \beta_o = 7.5$

And we are interest on this case the interpretation about the slope and we can conclude that:

For every unit increase in literacy rate (percent of the population that is literate) the age difference (husband minus wife age) falls by 0.0437 units, on average.

Eliminate the parameter. x = t2 + 1, y = t2 - 1

Alexus [3.1K]

$\bf \begin{cases}
x=t^2+1\implies x-1=\boxed{t^2}\\
y=t^2-1\\
----------\\
y=\boxed{x-1}-1\\
y=x-2
\end{cases}$

The attendance at a baseball game was 400 people. Student tickets cost $2 and adult tickets cost $3. Total ticket sales were $10

mixer [17]

Let x be the number of adult tickets sold.
<span>That means 400 - x is the number of student tickets.
The revenue from adult tickets will be $3 * x, which we can call 3x.
The revenue from student ticks will be $2 * (400 - x), or 800 - 2x.
The total revenue is $1050, so that means:
3x + (800 - 2x) = 1050.
Removing the parentheses:
3x + 800 - 2x = 1050
</span><span>Subtracting 800 from both sides:
3x - 2x = 250
Simplifying the left side:
x = 250, which is the number of adult tickets.
400-x = student tickets = 400-250 = 150.
ALWAYS check!
In this case, check the revenue:
3x = 3(250) = 750
2(150) = 300
750 + 300 = 1050. Check!</span>
