A grower believes that one in five of his citrus trees are infected with the citrus red mite. How large a sample should be taken

if the grower wishes to estimate the proportion of his trees that are infected with citrus red mite to within 0.01 with probability 0.95? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

n=6147

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

X=1 number of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

n=5 random sample taken

\hat p=\frac{1}{5}=0.2 estimated proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

p true population proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

Me=0.01 represent the margin of error desired

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{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical values 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 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical values would be given by:

t_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

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 0.01 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)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.96})^2}=6146.56  

And rounded up we have that n=6147

Which graph represents an equation in the form =?<br><br> Please help me!!
Genrish500 [490]

That's a question about graphs.

In the Cartesian coordinate system, we have two axes: The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

When we want to represent a equation in the cartesian coodinate system, we associate a point in the x-axis and other in the y-axis. The Cartesian coordinate is represented by (x, y).

To represent some equation in a graph, we need at least two points to draw a line that cross these 2 points.

For example: To represent the equation y  = x +1, let's replace the value of <em>x</em>:

  • When<em> x = 0</em> → y = 0 + 1 = 1. Therefore, the coordenate is (0, 1).
  • When <em>x = 1</em> → y = 1 + 1 = 2. Therefore, the coordenate is (1, 2).

Finally, if we draw a line tha cross these 2 points, we will have the graph that represents y  = x +1.

Now you know about it, let's solve our problem?

In that question, we should to find the graph that represents the equation y = kx, but we don't know the value of <em>k</em>, so what should we do? It's easy:

<em>k </em>is a constant. That means that the value of k never changes. Now, let's analyze a specific case:

If <em>x = 0</em>, so <em>y = 0</em> as well. But why? We know that any number multiplied by 0 is equal 0. Therefore:

  • When If <em>x = 0 → </em>y = 0 \times k = 0. So, this graph cross the coordinate (0,0).

With the informations that the problem give to us, these are the unique things that we can find, but that's enough.

When we look at the options, just the second graph have a line that cross the coordenate (0, 0). Therefore, the correct answer is the graph below:

I hope I've helped. :D
