A statistics student would like to estimate the average age of students at her college. She would like to be 99% confident that

her estimate includes the actual college population mean. She did a smaller preliminary survey and found that a reasonable estimate of the population standard deviation was 2 1/2 years. How many people must she survey if she wants to be within 1/2 year of the true population mean?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a statistics student would like to estimate the average age of students at her college.

Population std dev =2.5years

For 99% , Z critical = ±2.59

Margin of error =  ±2.59*\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{n} }  \\= \frac{±6.475}{\sqrt{n} } =0.5

Simplify to get

\sqrt{n} =12.95

n = 167.70

n=168

She must survey 168 people

This set notation really seems the hard way to exclude a single value. Anyway...

The domain doesn't include where the denominator is zero, 4x + 7 = 0,

x = -7/4

The range doesn't include the asymptotic value, which is

y=2x/4x = 1/2

So we need domain x ≠ -7/4 and range y ≠ 1/2

Answer: First choice

What is the area of the shaded Region? (Answer to the Nearest Tenth)
RideAnS [48]

Shaded area = Circle area - Rectangle area

Shaded area = 3.14 × (4)^2 - 5 × 6

Shaded area = 3.14 × 16 - 30

Shaded area = 50.24 - 30

Shaded area = 20.24

Shaded area = 20.2

Which sentence correctly describes a data set that follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4 and a mean of 14
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

68% of the data points lie between 10 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4 and a mean of 14

We have to choose the  sentence that correctly describes a data set that follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4 and a mean of 14.

Since, given 68% data.

We know mean of data lies in middle.

And standard deviation is distribute equally about the mean that is 50% of values less than the mean  and 50% greater than the mean.

So, 68% of data lies

mean - standard deviation = 14 - 4 = 10

mean + standard deviation = 14 + 4 = 18

So, 68% of the data points lie between 10 and 18.

Suppose Q and R are independent events. Find P(Q and R). P(Q) = 0.87, P(R) = 0.51
eimsori [14]

Answer:

0.4437

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will define independent events.

Two events are said to be independent when the occurrence of one event doesn't affect the probability of occurrence of second event.

Given

P(Q)=0.87

and  

P(R)=0.51

The probability of independent events is given as:

P(Q∩R)=P(Q)*P(R)

=0.87*0.51

=0.4437

So the probability of Q and R is 0.4437 ..
