Refer previous problem. Suppose that you wish to estimate the difference between the mean acidity for rainfalls at two different

locations. If you wish your estimate to be correct to the nearest 0.1 pH with probability near 0.90, approximately how many rainfalls (pH values) must you include in each sample?

Answer:

Hence,we need at least 136 rainfall PH values in the sample i.e

n ≥ 136

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

(σ1)^2 = (σ2)^2 = Population variance = 0.25

So, E < 0.1

Confidence coefficient (c) = 0.9

n = n1 = n2

For confidence level, 1 - α = 0.9,we'll determine Z (α /2) = Z 0.05 by looking up 0.005 using the normal probability table which i have attached.

So, Z (α /2) = 1.645

The margin of error E is given as;

E = Z (α /2)√[(σ1)^2)/n1] + [(σ2)^2)/n2]

= Z (α /2)√({(σ1)^2 + (σ2)^2}/n) < 0.1

Multiply both sides by √n to get;

Z (α /2)√(σ1)^2 + (σ2)^2} < 0.1√n

Divide both sides by 0.1;

{Z (α /2)√(σ1)^2 + (σ2)^2}}/0.1 <√n

When we square each side, we get

{Z (α /2)√(σ1)^2 + (σ2)^2}}/0.1} ^2 < n

We'll now fill in the known values and solve;

n > ( 1.645 x √{(0.25 + 0.25)/0.1}^2

n > 135.3 or approximately n > 136

Hence,we need at least 136 observations in the sample i.e

n ≥ 136

What is one point that lies in the solution set of the
Vlad [161]
Substitute the given point (3, -2) in each condition
(i) y < -3; y ≤ (2/3)x - 4
-2 < -3 → False
Therefore, it is not a solution.
[Since the values of x and y must satisfy both the conditions, if one of them does not satisfy the condition then it is not necessary to check the other one.]
(ii) y > -3; y ≥ 2/3x - 4
-2 > -3 → True
y ≥ 2/3x - 4
-2 ≥ -2 → True
Therefore, it is a solution.
(iii) y < -3; y ≥ 2/3x - 4
-2 < -3 → False
Therefore, it is not a solution.
(iv) y > -2; y ≤ 2/3x - 4
-2 > -2 → False
Therefore, it is not a solution.
Thereofore, the system of linear inequalities having the point (3, -2) in its solution set is y > -3; y ≥ 2/3x - 4. Hope it helps you.
