One group (A) contains 130 people. Two-fifths of the people in group A will be selected to win $50 fuel cards. There is another

group (B) in a nearby town that will receive the same number of fuel cards, but there are 579 people in that group. What will be the ratio of nonwinners in group A to nonwinners in group B after the selections are made?

Answer:

<u>The ratio of non-winners in group A is 3/5 and in group B is 527/579. And the ratio of non-winners in group A to non-winners in group B will be 78/527.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

People in group A = 130

People in group B = 579

People in group A that will be selected to win US$ 50 fuel cards = 2/5

People in group B that will be selected to win US$ 50 fuel cards = same amount that group A

2. What will be the ratio of non-winners in group A to non-winners in group B after the selections are made?

Group A

If winners are 2/5, non-winners will be 1 -2/5

1 - 2/5 = 5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5

Now, let's calculate the number of winners:

2/5 * 130 = 52 winners ⇒ 78 non-winners

Group B

Number of winners = 52 (Same amount that group A)

Ratio of winners = 52/579

Ratio of non-winners = 1 - 52/579 = 579/579 - 52/579 = 527/579

<u>The ratio of non-winners in group A is 3/5 and in group B is 527/579. And the ratio of non-winners in group A to non-winners in group B will be 78/527.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem because the triangle is right-angled triangle.

6²+8²=x²

36+64=x²

100=x²

x=√100

x=10

An automobile manufacturer would like to know what proportion of its customers are not satisfied with the service provided by th
butalik [34]

Answer:

a) A sample size of 5615 is needed.

b) 0.012

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

99.5% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.005, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.005}{2} = 0.9975, so Z = 2.81.

(a) Past studies suggest that this proportion will be about 0.2. Find the sample size needed if the margin of the error of the confidence interval is to be about 0.015.

This is n for which M = 0.015.

We have that \pi = 0.2

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.015 = 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{n}}

0.015\sqrt{n} = 2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.015}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.015})^{2}

n = 5615

A sample size of 5615 is needed.

(b) Using the sample size above, when the sample is actually contacted, 12% of the sample say they are not satisfied. What is the margin of the error of the confidence interval?

Now \pi = 0.12, n = 5615.

We have to find M.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

M = 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.12*0.88}{5615}}

M = 0.012
