A fast-food restaurant has an automated beverage machine that dispenses a set amount of liquid based on a size setting. Suppose

that on the medium setting, the standard deviation of the amounts dispensed is Ï=17 mL . The manager of the restaurant plans on taking a sample of n medium drinks to construct 99\% percent confidence interval for the mean amount of liquid dispensed. They want the margin of error to be no more 10 mL

Answer:

n=(\frac{2.58(17)}{10})^2 =19.24 \approx 20

So the answer for this case would be n=20 rounded up to the nearest integer would be the sample required to obatin a margin of erros or 10 ml at 99% of confidence

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma =17 represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =10 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.005;0;1)", and we got z_{\alpha/2}=2.58, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{2.58(17)}{10})^2 =19.24 \approx 20

So the answer for this case would be n=20 rounded up to the nearest integer would be the sample required to obatin a margin of erros or 10 ml at 99% of confidence

In order to determine the average price of hotel rooms in Atlanta, a sample of 64 hotels was selected. It was determined that th
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the average room price is significantly different from $108.50

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n = 64

    The average price is  \= x  = \$ 112

    The population standard deviation is  \sigma  = \$ 16

     The level of significance is  \alpha  = 0.05

    The population mean is  \mu = \$ 108.5

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu = 108.50

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  \mu \ne  108.50

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

       z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>    z = \frac{112 - 108.50 }{ \frac{ 16}{\sqrt{64} } }  

=>    z = 1.75

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.75  is  

       P( Z >  1.75) = 0.040059

Generally  p-value is mathematically represented as

        p-value = 2 * P( Z >  1.75)

=>     p-value = 2 * 0.040059

=>     p-value = 0.08012

From the values obtained we see that  p-value  > \alpha hence

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the average room price is significantly different from $108.50

Which of the following is true of the data set represented by the box plot max at 35
Bezzdna [24]

Though the box plot is not given, the truth about the data set represented by the box plot is <u>removing</u> the outliers would not affect the median.

<h3>What is a box plot?</h3>

A box plot gives a graphical (rectangular) representation of statistical data based on the following five values: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.

Essentially, a box plot has the following five data descriptions:

  • The leftmost whisker, showing the minimum value.
  • The rightmost whisker, showing the maximum value.
  • The leftmost line, showing the first quartile.
  • The middle line, showing the median or the second quartile.
  • The last line shows the third quartile.

Thus, the truth about the data set represented by the box plot is <u>removing</u> the outliers would not affect the median.
