Suppose we are interested in analyzing the weights of NFL players. We know that on average, NFL players weigh 247 pounds with a

population standard deviation of 47 pounds. Suppose we take a sample of 30 new players and we find that the average weight from that sample is 237 pounds. We are interested in seeing if the weight of NFL players is decreasing. What is the standard error? What is the margin of error at 90% confidence? Using my sample of 30, what would be the 90% confidence interval for the population mean? If I wanted to control my margin of error and set it to 5 at 90% confidence, what sample size would I need to take instead of the 30? What are the null and alternative hypotheses? What is the critical value at 90% confidence? Calculate the test statistic (using the sample of 30 and NOT the answer from part d). Find the p-value. What conclusion would be made here at the 90% confidence level?

Answer:

SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 8.58

ME= 1.64 *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.64*\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 14.073

\bar X - ME = 237- 14.073 = 222.927

\bar X + ME = 237+ 14.073 = 251.073

n=(\frac{1.640(47)}{5})^2 =237.65 \approx 238

So the answer for this case would be n=238 rounded up to the nearest integer

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 247  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu  

z=\frac{237-247}{\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.165  

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can't conclude that the true mean is lower than 247 at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

\bar X =237 represent the sample mean

\sigma = 47 represent the population deviation

n =30 represent the sample size selected

\mu_0 = 247 represent the value that we want to test.

The standard error for this case is given by:

SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 8.58

For the 90% confidence the value of the significance is given by \alpha=1-0.9 = 0.1 and \alpha/2 = 0.05 so we can find in the normal standard distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.05 of the area on each tail and we got:

z_{\alpha/2}= 1.64

And the margin of error would be:

ME= 1.64 *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.64*\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 14.073

The confidence interval for this case would be given by:

\bar X - ME = 237- 14.073 = 222.927

\bar X + ME = 237+ 14.073 = 251.073

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =5 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

Replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{1.640(47)}{5})^2 =237.65 \approx 238

So the answer for this case would be n=238 rounded up to the nearest integer

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is lower than 247 pounds, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 247  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu  

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{237-247}{\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.165  

P-value  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can't conclude that the true mean is lower than 247 at 10% of significance.

15) A new BMW decreases in value exponentially after it is purchased. If a new BMW is valued at $55,000 and
tia_tia [17]

The values of BMW after 2 years and 4 years  according to the EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION are $33,462 and $20,358.28

Using the parameters given, we define an decreasing exponential function :

A = A_{0} (1 - r)^{t}

Where,

A_{0} = initial amount ; r = Rate ; t = time ; A = final amount

Value after 2 years :

t = 2

A = 55000(1 - 0.22)²

A = 55000(0.78)²

A = $33,462

Value after 4 years :

t = 4

A = 55000(1 - 0.22)^4

A = 55000(0.78)^4

A = $20,358.28

Therefore, the value of BMW after 2 years and 4 years $33,462 and $20,358.28 respectively.
