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.

Answer:

(st)(6)= s(6) * t(6)

Step-by-step explanation:

(st)(6)

(st)(x)= s(x) * t(x) we multiply it

(st)(6)= s(6) * t(6)

Given the following trigonometric ratio, enumerate the meaning ratio

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The trigonometric ratios are presented below:

$\sin \theta = \frac{AC}{\sqrt{AC^{2} + BC^{2}}}$

$\cos \theta = \frac{BC}{\sqrt{AC^{2} + BC^{2}}}$

$\cot \theta = \frac{BC}{AC}$

$\sec \theta = \frac{\sqrt{AC^{2}+BC^{2}}}{BC}$

$\csc \theta = \frac{\sqrt{AC^{2}+BC^{2}}}{AC}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From Trigonometry we know the following definitions for each trigonometric ratio:

Sine

$\sin \theta = \frac{y}{h}$ (1)

Cosine

$\cos \theta = \frac{x}{h}$ (2)

Tangent

$\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{y}{x}$ (3)

Cotangent

$\cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} = \frac{x}{y}$ (4)

Secant

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \frac{h}{x}$ (5)

Cosecant

$\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{h}{y}$ (6)

Where:

$x$ - Adjacent leg.

$y$ - Opposite leg.

$h$ - Hypotenuse.

The length of the hypotenuse is determined by the Pythagorean Theorem:

$h = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$

If $y = AC$ and $x = BC$ , then the trigonometric ratios are presented below:

$\sin \theta = \frac{AC}{\sqrt{AC^{2} + BC^{2}}}$

$\cos \theta = \frac{BC}{\sqrt{AC^{2} + BC^{2}}}$

$\cot \theta = \frac{BC}{AC}$

$\sec \theta = \frac{\sqrt{AC^{2}+BC^{2}}}{BC}$

$\csc \theta = \frac{\sqrt{AC^{2}+BC^{2}}}{AC}$
