A manufacturer of college textbooks is interested in estimating the strength of the bindings produced by a particular binding ma

chine. Strength can be measured by recording the force required to pull the pages from the binding. If this force is measured in pounds, how many books should be tested to estimate the average force required to break the binding to within 0.08 lb with 99% confidence? Assume that σ is known to be 0.72. (Exact answer required.)

Answer:

538 books should be tested.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How many books should be tested to estimate the average force required to break the binding to within 0.08 lb with 99% confidence?

n books should be tested.

n is found when M = 0.08

We have that \sigma = 0.72

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.08 = 2.575*\frac{0.72}{\sqrt{n}}

0.08\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.72

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.72}{0.08}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*0.72}{0.08})^{2}

n = 537.1

Rounding up

538 books should be tested.

The one with the word bank is in this order, right angle, acute angle, straight angle and then obtuse then you try to guess an estimate a right angle is always a 90 degree angle and a straight angle is always 180 degrees the given part of the angle would be subtracted by 180 for example 180-130 which means X= 50 degrees

olga_2 [115]
In the given question all the information's are provided based on which the answer to the question can be easily deduced. It is already given that the population of the world in the year 2002 was estimated to about 6 billion. Among them 20% of the people lived on an an income of less that $1 per day.Firstly let us convert 6 billion from words to numbers.
6 billion = 6000000000
Now
Number of people earning less that $1 per day = (20/100) * 6000000000
                                                                           = 6000000000/5
                                                                           = 1200000000
So the number of people earning less than $1 per day is 1200000000
