Kellogg is planning to market a new kind of cereal. However, before marketing this product, the company wants to find what perce

ntage of people will like it. The company’s research department selected a random sample of 500 persons and asked them to taste it. Of these 500 persons, 280 said they liked it. Set up a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all people who like this cereal. Kellogg will market the cereal if at least half of the people in the population will like it. Based on the sample results, should Kellogg market the cereal? What is the predominant formula you will use to solve the problem?

Answer:

The predominant formula that will be used to solve the problem is,

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kellogg is planning to market a new kind of cereal and wants to determine the percentage of people will like it.

Kellogg will market the cereal if at least half of the people in the population will like it.

So, the company’s research department selected a random sample of 500 persons and asked them to taste it. Of these 500 persons, 280 said they liked it.

The hypothesis to test whether Kellogg will market the cereal is:

<em>H₀</em>: Kellogg will not market the cereal, i.e. <em>p</em> < 0.50.

<em>Hₐ</em>: Kellogg will market the cereal, i.e. <em>p</em> ≥ 0.50.

The decision rule:

A 95% confidence interval for single proportion can be used to draw conclusion about this test.

If the 95% confidence interval consists of the null value, i.e. <em>p</em> < 0.50, then the null hypothesis will not be rejected. But is the confidence interval does not consist of the null value then the null hypothesis will be rejected.

The formula to compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all people who like this cereal is:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

Here,

\hat p=\frac{X}{n} = sample proportion

z_{\alpha/2} = critical value of <em>z</em> for <em>α</em> = 0.05

Thus, the predominant formula that will be used to solve the problem is,

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}.

A Rectangle with sides 100m and 50m. Person B and Person A start walking in the opposite direction at the same point with veloci
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

It takes takes them 31.67 secs to meet after Person A starts walking

OR

34.67 secs after Person B starts walking

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will find the perimeter of the rectangle

From,

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b)

Where l is the length

and b is the breadth

From the question, l = 100m

and b = 50m

Hence,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (100+50)

= 2(150) = 300m

Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle is 300m

This is the total distance that will be covered by both persons by the time they meet.

Let the distance covered by person A be S_{1}

and the distance covered by person B be S_{2}

We can write that

S_{1} + S_{2} = 300m

Velocity of person A, V_{A} = 4 m/s

and velocity of person B, V_{B} = 5 m/s

From the question, Person A starts walking 3 seconds after person B,

This means, if person A spends t secs before they meet, then person B would spend (3 + t) secs.

For Person A,

Velocity = 4 m/s

Time = t secs

Distance = S_{1}

From,

Velocity = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Then,

Distance = Velocity \times time

S_{1} = 4 \times t

S_{1} = 4t ...... (1)

For Person B

Velocity = 5 m/s

Time = (t + 3) secs

Distance = S_{2}

Also, from

Distance = Velocity \times time

S_{2} = 5 \times (3+t)

S_{2} = 5(3+t) ...... (2)

Recall that, S_{1} + S_{2} = 300m

Then, S_{2} = 300m - S_{1}

We can then write that,

300m - S_{1} = 5(3+t)

Then,

S_{1} = 300 - 5(3+t) ..... (3)

Equating equations (1) and (3), we get

300 - 5(3+t) = 4t

300 - 15 -5t = 4t\\9t = 285\\t = \frac{285}{9}\\

t = 31.67 secs

This is the time spent by Person A

Hence, it takes takes them 31.67 secs to meet after Person A starts walking OR

34.67 secs after Person B starts walking

Evaluate =9 + 3h - 6 when g = 10 and h = 6.
Tanya [424]

Answer: 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate g + 3h - 6 when g = 10 and h = 6.

Substitute the values of g and h into the expression :

10 + 3(6) -6.......open the bracket

= 10 + 18 - 6

=28 - 6

= 22

Help me find the function pls
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function has been shifted upward by 2 units, but there has been no horizontal scaling. Any horizontal offset must be equal to some number of whole periods.

Choices A and B show tan( )+2, the correct vertical offset. However, choice A has a horizontal scale factor of 2. The correct choice is B, which has no horizontal scaling (the coefficient of x is 1) and a horizontal offset of π, one full period.

_____

<em>Comment on horizontal scaling</em>

Horizontal scaling is different from vertical scaling in that using k·x in place of x <em>compresses</em> the graph horizontally by a factor of k. On the other hand, using k·f(x) in place of f(x) <em>expands</em> the graph vertically by a factor of k.
