The number of members over time in an online music sharing club can be modeled by an exponential function. the club started with

2100 members. After 1 month, the club had 2142 members.
a. Write an equation for the number of members as a function of time in months since the club started.
b. What is the parameter b in the equation, and what does it represent in this situation?
c. Will the club have more than 5000 members during its first year? Justify your reasoning.

Answer:

a.) $N(x) = N_{0} e^{bx}$

b.) therefore b = $\ln \frac{2142}{2100} = \ln (1.02) = 0.0198$

b is the rate of increase of number of members

c.) The club will not be able to get more than 5000 members during its first year.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the club started with 2100 members.

so we can write $N_{0}$ = 2100.

a.) so we can write the equation as an exponential function given by

$N(x) = N_{0} e^{bx}$ where x is in months and b is a constant and N(x) is the number of members in the online music sharing club .

therefore 2142 = 2100 $\times (e^{b\times 1})$ = 2100 $e^{b}$

b.) therefore b = $\ln \frac{2142}{2100} = \ln (1.02) = 0.0198$

b is the rate of increase of number of members

c.) Will the club have more than 5000 members during its first year? Justify your reasoning.

5000 = 2100 $e^{0.0198x}$

therefore x = $\frac{1}{0.0198} \ln{(\frac{5000}{2100} )} = 43.81 \hspace{0.1cm}months$

The club will not be able to get more than 5000 members during its first year.

I am a rectangle, and my area is 80 square inches. My width is 2 inches shorter than my length. What is my perimeter?

pshichka [43]

Area=l*b=l*(l-2)=80(given)

so, l^2 - 2l =80
l^2 - 2l - 80=0
l=10 or -8

l=10,b=10-2=8
perimeter=2(l+b)=2(18)=36

Suppose we are testing people to see if the rate of use of seat belts has changed from a previous value of 88%. Suppose that in

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

a) We would expect to see 500*0.88=440

b) $z=\frac{0.9 -0.88}{\sqrt{\frac{0.88(1-0.88)}{500}}}=1.376$

$p_v =2*P(Z>1.376)=0.167$

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion is not significant different from 0.9.

The p value is a criterion to decide if we reject or not the null hypothesis, when $p_v$ we reject the null hypothesis in other case we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. And represent the "probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct".

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=500 represent the random sample taken

X=450 represent the people that have the seat belt fastened

$\hat p=\frac{450}{500}=0.9$ estimated proportion of people that have the seat belt fastened

$p_o=0.88$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v{/tex} represent the p value (variable of interest) Part aWe would expect to see 500*0.88=440Part bConcepts and formulas to use We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion changes fro m 0.88.: Null hypothesis:[tex]p=0.88$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.88$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.9 -0.88}{\sqrt{\frac{0.88(1-0.88)}{500}}}=1.376$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level assumed is $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(Z>1.376)=0.167$

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion is not significant different from 0.9.

The p value is a criterion to decide if we reject or not the null hypothesis, when $p_v$ we reject the null hypothesis in other case we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. And represent the "probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct".

Suppose p" must approximate p with relative error at most 10-3 . Find the largest interval in which p* must lie for each value o

goblinko [34]

Answer:

$[p-|p|*10^{-3} \, , \, p+|p|* 10^-3]$

Step-by-step explanation

The relative error is the absolute error divided by the absolute value of p. for an approximation p*, the relative error is

r = |p*-p|/|p|

we want r to be at most 10⁻³, thus

|p*-p|/|p| ≤ 10⁻³

|p*-p| ≤ |p|* 10⁻³

therefore, p*-p should lie in the interval [ - |p| * 10⁻³ , |p| * 10⁻³ ], and as a consecuence, p* should be in the interval [p - |p| * 10⁻³ , p + |p| * 10⁻³ ]
