A certain geneticist is interested in the proportion of males and females in the population who have a minor blood disorder. In

a random sample of 1000 males, 250 are found to be afflicted, whereas 275 of 1000 females tested appear to have the disorder. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of males and females who have the blood disorder.

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of males and females who have the blood disorder is [-0.064 , 0.014].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain geneticist is interested in the proportion of males and females in the population who have a minor blood disorder.

A random sample of 1000 males, 250 are found to be afflicted, whereas 275 of 1000 females tested appear to have the disorder.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the difference between population proportion is given by;

                        P.Q. = \frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p_1 = sample proportion of males having blood disorder= \frac{250}{1000} = 0.25

\hat p_2 = sample proportion of females having blood disorder = \frac{275}{1000} = 0.275

n_1 = sample of males = 1000

n_2 = sample of females = 1000

p_1 = population proportion of males having blood disorder

p_2 = population proportion of females having blood disorder

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used Two-sample z proportion statistics.</em>

<u>So, 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population proportions, </u><u>(</u>p_1-p_2<u>)</u><u> is ;</u>

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

                                             of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < \frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} } < {(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)} < 1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} } ) = 0.95

P( (\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} } < (p_1-p_2) < (\hat p_1-\hat p_2)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for</u> (p_1-p_2) =

[(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }, (\hat p_1-\hat p_2)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }]

= [ (0.25-0.275)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{1000}+ \frac{0.275(1-0.275)}{1000}} }, (0.25-0.275)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{1000}+ \frac{0.275(1-0.275)}{1000}} } ]

 = [-0.064 , 0.014]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of males and females who have the blood disorder is [-0.064 , 0.014].

Megan’s TV had a base price of $189 and the sales tax was 6.88%. Over the next four years, the TV consumed an average of $0.06 o
Leni [432]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of tv and sales tax = 1.0688×$189 = $202.0032 ≅ $202.00

4 years = 3×365 days + 366 days = 1461 days

cost of electricity = 1461 days × $0.06/day = $87.66

lifetime cost = purchase price + electricity + repairs

= $202.00 + $87.66 + 2·$29

= $347.66

Please help me with these rotation problem.​
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attachment, the points are listed in the order given in the problem statement. (They are listed to the right of the "rotation matrix", with x-coordinates above y-coordinates.)

__

I really don't like to do repetitive calculations, so I try to use a graphing calculator or spreadsheet whenever possible. Angles are measured CCW.

As always, the rotation transformations are ...

  180° — (x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y)

  270° — (x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)

In a recent contest, the mean score was 210 and the standard deviation was 25. a) Find the z-score of John who scored 190 b) Fin
denpristay [2]

Answer:

a) Z = -0.8

b) Z = 2.4

c) Mary's score was 241.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 210, \sigma = 25

a) Find the z-score of John who scored 190

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{190 - 210}{25}

Z = -0.8

b) Find the z-score of Bill who scored 270

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{270 - 210}{25}

Z = 2.4

c) If Mary had a score of 1.25, what was Mary’s score?

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.25 = \frac{X - 210}{25}

X - 210 = 25*1.25

X = 241.25

Mary's score was 241.25.
