Let X denote the length of human pregnancies from conception to birth, where X has a normal distribution with mean of 264 days a

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

X: length of human pregnancies from conception to birth.

X~N(μ;σ²)

μ= 264 day

σ= 16 day

If the variable of interest has a normal distribution, it's the sample mean, that it is also a variable on its own, has a normal distribution with parameters:

X[bar] ~N(μ;σ²/n)

When calculating a probability of a value of "X" happening it corresponds to use the standard normal: Z= (X[bar]-μ)/σ

When calculating the probability of the sample mean taking a given value, the variance is divided by the sample size. The standard normal distribution to use is Z= (X[bar]-μ)/(σ/√n)

a. You need to calculate the probability that the sample mean will be less than 260 for a random sample of 15 women.

P(X[bar]<260)= P(Z<(260-264)/(16/√15))= P(Z<-0.97)= 0.16602

b. P(X[bar]>b)= 0.05

You need to find the value of X[bar] that has above it 5% of the distribution and 95% below.

P(X[bar]≤b)= 0.95

P(Z≤(b-μ)/(σ/√n))= 0.95

The value of Z that accumulates 0.95 of probability is Z= 1.648

Now we reverse the standardization to reach the value of pregnancy length:

1.648= (b-264)/(16/√15)

1.648*(16/√15)= b-264

b= [1.648*(16/√15)]+264

b= 270.81 days

c. Now the sample taken is of 7 women and you need to calculate the probability of the sample mean of the length of pregnancy lies between 1800 and 1900 days.

Symbolically:

P(1800≤X[bar]≤1900) = P(X[bar]≤1900) - P(X[bar]≤1800)

P(Z≤(1900-264)/(16/√7)) - P(Z≤(1800-264)/(16/√7))

P(Z≤270.53) - P(Z≤253.99)= 1 - 1 = 0

d. P(X[bar]>270)= 0.1151

P(Z>(270-264)/(16/√n))= 0.1151

P(Z≤(270-264)/(16/√n))= 1 - 0.1151

P(Z≤6/(16/√n))= 0.8849

With the information of the cumulated probability you can reach the value of Z and clear the sample size needed:

P(Z≤1.200)= 0.8849

$Z= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{Sigma/\sqrt{n} }$

$Z*(Sigma/\sqrt{n} )= (X[bar]-Mu)$

$(Sigma/\sqrt{n} )= \frac{(X[bar]-Mu)}{Z}$

$Sigma= \frac{(X[bar]-Mu)}{Z}*\sqrt{n}$

$Sigma*(\frac{Z}{(X[bar]-Mu)})= \sqrt{n}$

$n = (Sigma*(\frac{Z}{(X[bar]-Mu)}))^2$

$n = (16*(\frac{1.2}{(270-264)}))^2$

n= 10.24 ≅ 11 pregnant women.

I hope it helps!

A researcher compares the effectiveness of two different instructional methods for teaching electronics. A sample of 138 student

yan [13]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2 is (-8.04, 0.84).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the difference between population means is:

$CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}}$

The information provided is as follows:

$n_{1}= 138\\n_{2}=156\\\bar x_{1}=61\\\bar x_{2}=64.6\\\sigma_{1}=18.53\\\sigma_{2}=13.43$

The critical value of z for 98% confidence level is,

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.02/2}=2.326$

Compute the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2 as follows:

$CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}}$

$=(61-64.6)\pm 2.326\times\sqrt{\frac{(18.53)^{2}}{138}+\frac{(13.43)^{2}}{156}}\\\\=-3.6\pm 4.4404\\\\=(-8.0404, 0.8404)\\\\\approx (-8.04, 0.84)$

Thus, the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2 is (-8.04, 0.84).

1,13, 19.. Arithmetic, geometric, or neither

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

13 - 1 = 12 and 19 - 13 = 6 - no common difference so its not Arithmetic.

13/1 = 13 and 19/13 = 1.46 - no common ratio so its not Geometric.

!!!!(Help me please)!!!!

Leona [35]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

A: We know that the lower quartile is 144, and the upper quartile is 129.5 is you add them all up it is going to equal 273.3. So we know that A can now be crossed out.

B: We know that the lower quartile is 146, and that means the upper quartile is 136.5. So adding all of these numbers up we ill get 282.5 So now B can be crossed out

C: The lower quartile is 114 and the upper quartile is 129.5 and when we add those two numbers up we are going to get 243.5. So we are going to keep this number

D: For the last one we know the lower quartile is 214 and upper is 129.5, and when we add this we get 343.5. So we can cross this out and the only one we have left is going to be C

Hope this help's
