A family is driving 600 miles. Assuming they stop to get gas 3 times and eat 2 times, how many hours will it take them to reach

their destination? How would you estimate the time?

Lets assume that they are driving at an average of 70mph, and getting gas takes 10 minutes, and stopping to eat takes 30.

t=d/s

t=600/70
t=8.57 

Stopping to eat twice is 30 x 2 = 60 (another hour)

and Gas is 10 x 3 = 30 minutes (0.5 hours)

Total time is,

8.57+1+0.5 =10.07

So the trip will take approx 10.7 hours total.

(This is using my assumptions, from my experience!)

A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will​ use, he needs to estimat
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

a) n = 9604

b) n = 381

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

a. Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems. n = ?

When we do not know the proportion, we use \pi = 0.5, which is when we are going to need the largest sample size.

The sample size is n when M = 0.01.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.01 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.01\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.01}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.01})^{2}

n = 9604

b. Assume that a recent survey suggests that 99% of computers use a new operating system. n = ?

Now we have that \pi = 0.99. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.01 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.99*0.01}{n}}

0.01\sqrt{n} = 1.96*\sqrt{0.99*0.01}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*\sqrt{0.99*0.01}}{0.01}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*\sqrt{0.99*0.01}}{0.01})^{2}

n = 380.3
