Answer:

n=1849

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.03 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

Assuming that the proportion is estimated \hat p =0.5. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.03}{2.58})^2}=1849  

And rounded up we have that n=1849

convert the following logarithmic equation to the equivalent exponential equation. Use the caret (^) to enter exponents. y=ln x
GarryVolchara [31]
1. To solve this problem, you need to remember that an exponential function has the following form:
 
 f(x)=a^x
 
 "a" is the base and "x" is the exponent.
 
 2. It is important to know that the logarithmic functions  and the exponential functionsare inverse. Then, you have:
 
 <span>y=ln x
</span> e^y=e^(lnx)
<span> e^y=x
 
 3. Therefore, the answer is:
</span> 
 x=
<span>e^y</span>

"You measure 34 dogs' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 67 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 13.5 o
liraira [26]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true population mean dog weight is between 62.46 ounces and 71.54 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96*\frac{13.5}{\sqrt{34}} = 4.54

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 67 - 4.54 = 62.46 ounches.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 67 + 4.54 = 71.54 ounces.

The 95% confidence interval for the true population mean dog weight is between 62.46 ounces and 71.54 ounces.
