Candy Crunchers wants to see if their new candy is enjoyed more by high school or middle school students. They decide to visit o

umka21 [38]

The sample % of these two populations would be 100/size (of student body at each school) x 100 so this would compare the two student bodies preferences for the particular type of candy bar. However, the actual % of the whole student body at each school would be a factor also. If the high school only had 200 students then this would be 50% representative but if the middle school had say 500 students this would only be 20% representative so this would have to be taken into account too. It might be more representative to have the same % of the student bodies respectively for the sample.

3) Solve the problem using your graphing calculator. Round all para meter values to the nearest hundredth.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

mmm, well, not much we can do per se, you'd need to use a calculator.

I'd like to point out you'd need a calculator that has regression features, namely something like a TI83 or TI83+ or higher.

That said, you can find online calculators with "quadratic regression" features, which is what this, all you do is enter the value pairs in it, to get the equation.

PLEASE HELPPP!!!! Will give brainiest!!!!

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

0.008 °C

Explanation:

1) Write the changes in the temperature of the city over the 4 days in an easy way to read.

1.34 °C

- 5 / 7 °C

- 0.75 °C

4/9 ° C

2) Write the expression to show the average daily change in temperature.

The average of a set of data is calculated with the expression:

Average = (sum of the data) / amount of data

Hence, you need to add the four change of temperature data and divide by 4.

The expression is:

Average = [ 1.34 °C + (- 5 / 7 °C) + ( - 0.75 °C) + 4/9 ° C ] / 4

3) Write the steps to solve the expression:

You can choose between adding fractions or adding the decimal forms of the numbers.

If you choose adding decimals, keep the complete decimals in your calculator, to avoid the accumulation of errors due to rounding. Round only the final result.

These are the steps.

a. Find the decimal forms of the fractions:

- 5/7 ≈ 0.71428

4 /9 ≈ 0.44444

b. Add the four data:

1.34°C + (- 0.71428 °C) + (-0.75 °C) + 0.44444 °C ≈ 0.32019 °C

c. Divide the sum by the number of data (4)

0.32019 °C / 4 ≈ 0.080004 °C

4. Round to the nearest hundredth

The place of the hundreth is the second after the decimal point, which is 8 in this case:

0.080004 °C ≈ 0.08 °C

Crash Hospital Costs. A study was conducts to estimate hospital costs for accident victims who wore seat belts. Twenty randomly

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (5004.168;12603.832)

b) For this case we can use the lower bound for the confidence interval as estimation, on this case 5004.168. But we need to take in count that this value it's with 99% of confidence and 1% of significance and 1% of probability to commit type Error I

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X =9004$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=5629 represent the sample standard deviation

n=20 represent the sample size

2) Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=20-1=19$

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,19)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.86$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$9004-2.86\frac{5629}{\sqrt{20}}=5004.168$

$9004+2.86\frac{5629}{\sqrt{20}}=12603.832$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (5004.168;12603.832)

3) Part b

For this case we can use the lower bound for the confidence interval as estimation, on this case 5004.168. But we need to take in count that this value it's with 99% of confidence and 1% of significance and 1% of probability to commit type Error I
