A certain change in a process for manufacture of component parts is being considered. Samples are taken using both the existing

and the new procedure so as to determine if the new process results in an improvement. If 75 of 1500 items from the existing procedure were found to be defective and 80 of 2000 items from the new procedure were found to be defective, find a 90% confidence interval for the true difference in the fraction of defective items between the existing and new process.

Answer:

a) The confidence interval is 0.00\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a confidence interval (CI) of a difference of proportions.

For the existing procedure, the proportion is:

p_1=75/1500=0.05

For the new procedure, the proportion is:

p_2=80/2000=0.04

To calculate the CI, we need to estimate the standard deviation

s=\sqrt{\frac{p_1(1-p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{p_2(1-p_2)}{n_2} }\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{1500} +\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{2000} }=\sqrt{ 0.000032 + 0.000019 }=\sqrt{  0.000051 }\\\\s=0.007

For a 90% CI, the z-value is 1.64.

Then, the CI is:

(p_1-p_2)-z*\sigma \leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq(p_1-p_2)+z*\sigma \\\\(0.05-0.04)-1.64*0.007\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq(0.05-0.04)+1.64*0.007\\\\0.01-0.01\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.01+0.01\\\\0.00\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.02

Graph f(x)=−0.5x+3. Use the line tool and select two points to graph the line.
NikAS [45]

Answer: These are some points of the grahp:

(-2,4)

(0, 3)

(2, 2)


Explanation:


1) f(x) =  -0.5x + 3, is the equation of the form y = mx + b


2) y = mx + b is slope-intercept  equation of a line where the slope is m and the y-intercept is b, so, f(x) = - 0.5x + b has slope m = -0.5 and y-intercept b = 3.


3) To graph f(x) = -0.5x + 3, follow these steps:

  • draw two perpedicular axis: vertical axis, labeled y, and horizontal axis, labeled x.
  • draw marks on each axis, each mark equivalent to one unit.
  • the intersection point of the vertical and horizontal axis is the origin, i.e. point (0,0).
  • you can make a table with two or more points:

        x       f(x) = - 0.5x + 3

        -2         4

        0          3

        2          2

        4           1

        6          0


4) You can see the graph in the figure attached, and select any of the points on the line either by using the table or by using the equation f(x) = -0.5x + 3.

Robert and Chris can skate 4 miles in 18 minutes. How far can they ride in 45 minutes?​
adell [148]

Answer: Robert and Chris can skate 10 miles in 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by finding the unit rate.

\frac{4}{18} =\frac{2}{9} \\\frac{18}{18} =1

Robert and Chris can skate \frac{2}{9} of a mile in 1 minute. Now we can multiply both by 45 to see how far the can go in 45 minutes.

(\frac{2}{9}) (\frac{45}{1} )\\\frac{(2)(45)}{(9)(1)} \\\frac{90}{9} \\10

45x1=45

The can skate 10 miles in 45 minutes.
