Repeated student samples. Of all freshman at a large college, 16% made the dean’s list in the current year. As part of a class p

roject, students randomly sample 40 students and check if those students made the list. They repeat this 1,000 times and build a distribution of sample proportions.
(a) What is this distribution called?

(b) Would you expect the shape of this distribution to be symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed? Explain your reasoning.

(c) Calculate the variability of this distribution.

(d) What is the formal name of the value you computed in (c)?

(e) Suppose the students decide to sample again, this time collecting 90 students per sample, and they again collect 1,000 samples. They build a new distribution of sample proportions. How will the variability of this new distribution compare to the variability of the distribution when each sample contained 40 observations?

Answer:

a) p-hat (sampling distribution of sample proportions)

b) Symmetric

c) σ=0.058

d) Standard error

e) If we increase the sample size from 40 to 90 students, the standard error becomes two thirds of the previous standard error (se=0.667).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) This distribution is called the <em>sampling distribution of sample proportions</em> <em>(p-hat)</em>.

b) The shape of this distribution is expected to somewhat normal, symmetrical and centered around 16%.

This happens because the expected sample proportion is 0.16. Some samples will have a proportion over 0.16 and others below, but the most of them will be around the population mean. In other words, the sample proportions is a non-biased estimator of the population proportion.

c) The variability of this distribution, represented by the standard error, is:

\sigma=\sqrt{p(1-p)/n}=\sqrt{0.16*0.84/40}=0.058

d) The formal name is Standard error.

e) If we divided the variability of the distribution with sample size n=90 to the variability of the distribution with sample size n=40, we have:

\frac{\sigma_{90}}{\sigma_{40}}=\frac{\sqrt{p(1-p)/n_{90}} }{\sqrt{p(1-p)/n_{40}}}}= \sqrt{\frac{1/n_{90}}{1/n_{40}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1/90}{1/40}}=\sqrt{0.444}= 0.667

If we increase the sample size from 40 to 90 students, the standard error becomes two thirds of the previous standard error (se=0.667).

If a linear system has no solution, what happens when you try to solve the system by adding or subtracting?
balandron [24]

If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent . The graphs of the lines do not intersect, so the graphs are parallel and there is no solution.

Joaquin is constructing the perpendicular bisector of ab. What should be his first step?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

D. Open the compass so that the distance from the two points of the compass is wider than half the length of \over{AB}.

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct a perpendicular for \over{AB}, we must first take a compass & take the distance of its arms wider than half the length of \over{AB}.

This is done in order to get two intersecting arcs in the top & bottom of \over{AB} so that a perpendicular bisector can be drawn through it.

After two intersecting lines are drawn below & above \over{AB}, draw a line joining these 2 points through their points of intersection. The point where it intersects \over{AB} is the middle-most point of \over{AB} & now a perpendicular bisector of \over{AB} is constructed.

What is the range of f(x) = 3x + 9?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
There is no restriction upon the domain, the x values, and is all real numbers or (-oo,+oo)

From such it is clear that the domain also contains all real numbers.

The range of f(x) is (-oo,+oo)
