A carpool service has 2,000 daily riders. A one-way ticket costs $5.00. The service estimates that for each $1.00 increase to th

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Total number of riders that ride on carpool daily = 2000

Total Cost of one way ticket = $ 5.00

Total Amount earned if 2000 passengers rides daily on carpool = 2000 × 5

= $10,000

If fare increases by $ 1.00

New fare = $5 + $1

= $6

Number of passengers riding on carpool = 2,000 - 100 = 1,900

If 1,900 passengers rides on carpool daily , total amount earned ,if cost of each ticket is $ 6 = 1900 × $6 = $11400

As we have to find the inequality which represents the values of x that would allow the carpool service to have revenue of at least $12,000.

For $ 1 increase in fare = (2,000 - 1 × 100) passengers

For $ x increase in fare, number of passengers = 2,000 - 100·x

= (2,000 - 100·x) passengers

New fare = 5 + x

New Fare × Final Number of passengers ≥ 12,000

(5+x)·(2,000 - 100 x) ≥ 12,000

5 (2,000 - 100 x) + x(2,000 - 100 x) ≥ 12,000

10,000 - 500 x + 2,000 x - 100 x² ≥ 12,000

100 - 5 x + 20 x - x² ≥ 120

- x² + 15 x +100 - 120 ≥ 0

-x² + 15 x -20 ≥ 0

x² - 15 x + 20 ≤ 0

⇒ x = 1.495

x ≥ $ 1.495, that is if we increase the fare by this amount or more than this the revenue will be at least 12,000 or more .

Also, f'(x) = 0 gives x = 7.5

⇒ The price of a one-way ticket that will maximize revenue is $7.50

Suppose that a researcher is designing a survey to estimate the proportion of adults in your state who oppose a proposed law tha

irinina [24]

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5 (1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}= 2401$

So without prior estimation for the population proportion, using a confidence level of 95% if we want a margin of error about 2% we need al least a sample size of 2401.

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".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

If solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

The margin of error desired for this case is $ME= \pm 0.02$ equivalent to 2% points

For this case we need to assume a confidence level, let's assume 95%. And since we don't have prior estimation for the population proportion of interest the best value to do an approximation is $\hat p =0.5$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the margin of error for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.96$

Now we have all the values needed and if we replace into equation (b) we got:

$n=\frac{0.5 (1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}= 2401$

So without prior estimation for the population proportion, using a confidence level of 95% if we want a margin of error about 2% we need al least a sample size of 2401.
