A company receives shipments of a component used in the manufacture of a component for a high-end acoustic speaker system. When

the components arrive, the company selects a random sample from the shipment and subjects the selected components to a rigorous set of tests to determine if the components in the shipments conform to their specifications. From a recent large shipment, a random sample of 250 of the components was tested, and 24 units failed one or more of the tests. a.At the 98% level of confidence, what is the margin of error in the point estimate of the proportion of components in the shipment that fail to meet the company's specifications

Answer:

ME= 2.33*\sqrt{\frac{0.096*(1-0.096)}{250}}= 0.0434

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have a sample size of n = 250 units and in this sample they found that 24 units failed one or more of the tests.

We are interested in the proportion of units that fail to meet the company's specifications, and we can estimate this with:

\hat p = \frac{24}{250}= 0.096

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 confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula  

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

For the 98% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.98=0.02 and \alpha/2=0.01, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.  

z_{\alpha/2}=2.33  

And the margin of error would be:

ME= 2.33*\sqrt{\frac{0.096*(1-0.096)}{250}}= 0.0434

1. JP Construction is building a rectangular children's wading pool for the local community center. The pool will be 4.5 meters
Bond [772]

Answer:

x\leq 1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Width of pool, b=4.5 m

We have to find the inequality which  represents the possible lengths of the wading pool.

Let x be the length of wading pool

We know that

Area of rectangle=length\times breadth

According to question

Using the formula

4.5x\leq 8

Divide by 4.5 on both sides we get

x\leq\frac{8}{4.5}

x\leq 1.78

Express the square root of -80 in its simplest terms.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

noting that \sqrt{-1} = i

Given

\sqrt{-80}

= \sqrt{16(-1)(5)}

= \sqrt{16} × \sqrt{-1} × \sqrt{5}

= 4i\sqrt{5} → C

Answer:

You are clicking on graphs.

However, you should sketch a graph of your function to see what the correct one looks like.

Create a table containing a few values of x and y

I chose x = -4, -2, 0, 2, 4.

Draw your axes

Plot your points

Draw the graph

Your graph should look like the one below.
