A study of 420 comma 100 cell phone users found that 133 of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this

study of cell phone​ use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0449​% for those not using cell phones. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b). a. Use the sample data to construct a 95​% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system.

Answer:

(0.0263%, 0.0370%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = n = 420,100

Number of users who developed cancer = x = 133

Proportion of users who developed cancer = p = \frac{133}{420100}

Proportion of users who didnot develop cancer = q = 1 - p = 1-\frac{133}{420100}=\frac{419967}{420100}

Confidence Level = 95%

Z value associated with this confidence level = z = 1.96

The formula to calculate the confidence interval is:

\text{Lower Bound} = p-z\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n}}\\\\ \text{Upper Bound} = p+z\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n}}

Using the values in above expressions, we get:

\text{Lower Bound}=\frac{133}{420100}-1.96\sqrt{\frac{\frac{133}{420100}\times\frac{419667}{420100}}{420100}}\\\\\text{Lower Bound}=0.000263

and

\text{Upper Bound}=\frac{133}{420100}+1.96\sqrt{\frac{\frac{133}{420100}\times\frac{419667}{420100}}{420100}} \\\\ \text{Upper Bound}=0.000370

Thus, the bounds of the confidence interval are:

(0.000263, 0.000370)

This can be expressed in percentages as:

(0.0263%, 0.0370%)

Therefore, a 95​% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system is (0.0263%, 0.0370%)

A service center receives an average of 0.6 customer complaints per hour. Management's goal is to receive fewer than three compl
True [87]

Answer:

0.18203 = 18.203% probability that exactly four complaints will be received during the next eight hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the mean during a time-period, which means that the Poisson distribution is used to solve this question.

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

A service center receives an average of 0.6 customer complaints per hour.

This means that \mu = 0.6h, in which h is the number of hours.

Determine the probability that exactly four complaints will be received during the next eight hours.

8 hours means that h = 8, \mu = 0.6(8) = 4.8.

The probability is P(X = 4).

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-4.8}*4.8^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.18203

0.18203 = 18.203% probability that exactly four complaints will be received during the next eight hours.

Nobody is helping me on this pls answer and ty
Aleks [24]

Answer:

38.7

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{sinA}{A}=\frac{sinB}{B}=\frac{sinC}{C}

A, B and C are the sides of the triangle and sinA, sinB and sinC are the opposing angles

\frac{sin95}{43}=\frac{A}{27}

A = sin^{-1} (\frac{27*sin95}{43} )=38.72018809

If Sandy's cookie recipe calls for 1/3 cup of brown sugar and she increases it to 2/9, how much brown sugar does she use?
expeople1 [14]
If you divide 9/2 you receive 4.5. Tho when you divide 1/3 you get .33333 (repeated), so now you know that both the fractions do not correlate. Now the 'multiples' of 1/3 are 2/ 6, 3/9, 4/12, 5/15, 6/18, 7/21 and so on. If you do the 'multiples' of 2/9 you get 4/18, 6/27. The common factors are 4/18 and 6/18. So know you know that Sandy is using 2/18 (or 1/9) cups more of sugar.

miss. Nikkel want to divide her class of 23 students into 4 equal teams.is this reasonable?why or why not
ella [17]
No, because if you divide 23 / 4, you get 5.75. You can't get 0.75th of a kid. So it is not reasonable, because it is a decimal, and not a whole number.

Hope this helped! ☺♥
