A survey of an urban university (with a finite population of 25,450) showed that 750 of 1,100 students sampled attended a home f

ootball game during the season. Using the 99% level of confidence, what is the confidence interval for the proportion of students attending a football game?

Answer: (0.644,\ 0.716)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size = 1100

The number of students attended a home football game during the season = 750

Then, the proportion of students attending a football game =\dfrac{750}{1100}=0.681818181818\approx0.68

Critical value = z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.01/2}=z_{0.005}=2.576

Now, the confidence interval for the population proportion is given by :-

p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\=0.68\pm (2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.68(0.32)}{1100}}\\\\\approx0.68\pm0.036\\\\=(0.644,0.716)

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of students attending a football game = (0.644,\ 0.716)

Given Information:  

Number of lithium batteries = n = 16

Mean life of lithium batteries = μ = 645 hours

Standard deviation of lithium batteries = σ = 31 hours

Confidence level = 95%  

Required Information:  

Confidence Interval = ?

Answer:  

CI = 628.5 \: to \: 661.5 \: hours

Step-by-step explanation:  

The confidence interval is given by

CI = \mu \pm t_{\alpha/2} (\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Where μ is the mean life of lithium batteries, σ is the standard deviation, n is number of lithium batteries selected, and t is the critical value from the t-table with significance level of

tα/2 = (1 - 0.95) = 0.05/2 = 0.025

and the degree of freedom is

DoF = n - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

The critical value (tα/2) at 15 DoF is equal to 2.131 (from the t-table)

CI = 645 \pm 2.131(\frac{31}{\sqrt{16}})

CI = 645 \pm 2.131(7.75})

CI = 645 \pm 16.515

CI = 645 - 16.515 \: and \: 645 + 16.515

CI = 628.5 \: to \: 661.5 \: hours

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is 628.5 to 661.5 hours

What does it mean?

It means that we are 95% confident that the mean life of 16 lithium batteries is within the interval of (628.5 to 661.5 hours)

Please help with the first question....
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

  A)  The functions are not inverses of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(x))=\sqrt{(x^2+3)-3}=\sqrt{x^2}=|x|\ne x

The result of f(g(x)) is not always x, so the functions are not inverses of each other.

In general, a quadratic (or any even-degree polynomial) such as g(x) cannot have an inverse function because it does not pass the horizontal line test.

3. Jason uncle buys a 1.5 pound bag of pencils for the beginning of the year. He puts 1/2 of the pencils in a box. If Jason gets
Tems11 [23]

The quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets, based on his sharing ratio, is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.

<h3>What is the sharing ratio?</h3>

The sharing ratio is the percentage or ratio that is held by a person out of the total value of the thing being shared.

Jason's share of the pencil can be determined by multiplying the total pencils in the box (1.5 x ¹/₂) by Jason's sharing ratio (¹/₅).

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Quantity of pencils bought = 1.5 pounds

Half of the pencils in a box = 0.75 pounds (1.5 x ¹/₂)

The pounds got by Jason from the box = <u>0.15 </u>(0.75 x ¹/₅)

Thus, the quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.
