A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than ex

amine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid. Use a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of students on financial aid, with limits rounded to four decimal places.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = np

Where

n = number of students

p = probability of success

n = 200

p = 118/200 = 0.59

mean = 200 × 0.59 = 118

Standard deviation, s = √npq

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.59

q = 0.41

s = √(200 × 0.59 × 0.41)

s = √48.38 = 6.956

For a confidence level of 99%, the corresponding z value is 2.58. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

118 ± 2.58 × 6.956/√200

= 118 ± 2.58 × 0.492

= 118 ± 1.2694

The lower end of the confidence interval is 118 - 1.2694 = 116.7306

The upper end of the confidence interval is 118 + 1.2694 = 119.2694

Convert the integral below to polar coordinates and evaluate the integral.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

$\int\limits_{0}^{4/\sqrt{2}}\int\limits_{y}^{\sqrt{16-y^2}} xy \, dxdy = \int\limits_{0}^{\pi/4} \, \int\limits_{0}^{4} r^3 cos(\theta)\sin(\theta) \,\, drd\theta = 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to evaluate this integral.

$\int\limits_{0}^{4/\sqrt{2}}\,\,\int\limits_{y}^{\sqrt{16-y^2}} xy \,\,dxdy$

The first thing that we have to do is understand this region in the plane.

$\{ (x,y) \in \mathbb{R} : 0\leq y \leq \frac{4}{\sqrt{2}} \,\, , y \leq x \leq \, \sqrt{16-y^2} \}$

If you graph it looks something like the photo I join.

Now we need to describe that same region in polar coordinates.

That same region in polar coordinates would be

$\{ (r,\theta) : \,\, 0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{4} \,\,\, 0\leq r \leq 4 \}$

Now remember that when we do the polar transformation we use the following formula

$\int\limits_{a}^{b} \, \int\limits_{c}^{d} f(x,y) \,dxdy = \int\limits_{\theta_1}^{\theta_2} \, \int\limits_{r_1}^{r_2} r* f(rcos(\theta),rsin(\theta)) \,drd\theta$

Then our integral would be

$\int\limits_{0}^{4/\sqrt{2}}\int\limits_{y}^{\sqrt{16-y^2}} xy \, dxdy = \int\limits_{0}^{\pi/4} \, \int\limits_{0}^{4} r^3 cos(\theta)\sin(\theta) \,\, drd\theta = 16$

X(2x-8) = 0 how do you solve

sleet_krkn [62]

x * 2x = 3x X*-8= -8x

minus 3x on both side

= -11x

-11x = 0

divide -11 on both side

= 0
