<u>Absolute Value Inequality</u>
Assume the actual width of a safety belt strap for a certain automobile is x. We know the ideal width of the strap is 6 cm. This means the variation from the ideal width is x-6.
Note if x is less than 6, then the variation is negative. We usually don't care about the sign of the variation, just the number. That is why we need to use the absolute value function.
The variation (unsigned) from the ideal width is:
The question requires that the variation is at most 0.45 cm. That poses the inequality:
That is the range of acceptable widths. Let's now solve the inequality.
To solve an inequality for an absolute value less than a positive number N, we write:
This is a double inequality than can be easily solved by adding 6 to all the sides.
Operating:
That is the solution in inequality form. Expressing in interval form:
Answer:
The critical value that corresponds to a confidence level of 99% is, 2.58.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider a random variable <em>X</em> that follows a Binomial distribution with parameters, sample size <em>n </em>and probability of success <em>p</em>.
It is provided that the distribution of proportion of random variable <em>X, </em>, can be approximated by the Normal distribution.
The mean of the distribution of proportion is,
The standard deviation of the distribution of proportion is, .
Then the confidence interval for the population proportion <em>p</em> is:
The confidence level is 99%.
The significance level is:
Compute the critical value as follows:
That is:
Use the <em>z</em>-table for the <em>z-</em>value.
For <em>z</em> = 2.58 the P (Z < z) = 0.995.
And for <em>z</em> = -2.58 the P (Z > z) = 0.005.
Thus, the critical value is, 2.58.
