To estimate the mean score μ of those who took the Medical College Admission Test on your campus, you will obtain the scores of

an SRS of students. From published information, you know that the scores are approximately Normal with standard deviation about 6.6. How large an SRS must you take to reduce the standard deviation of the sample mean score to 1? (Round your answer up to the next whole number.)

<span>Standard deviation for mean of n objects = (square root n) x s.d. for one 
object. 

So you need (2.8/0.5)^2 or around 32.</span>

The figure is made up of a cylinder and a sphere which has been cut in half. The radius of each half sphere is 5 mm. What is
alexgriva [62]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Rounded to the nearest hundredth the volume of the composite figure is:</em>

<em>1308 33 cubic millimeters</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello! I wrote the complete question in a comment above. The volume of a cylinder is defined as:

V_{c}=\pi r^2 h \\ \\ r:radius \\ \\ h:height

While the volume of half a sphere is:

V_{hs}=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

Since we have 2 half spheres, then the volume of these is the same as the volume of a sphere:

V_{s}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Then, the composite figure is:

V=\pi r^2 h +\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ V=\pi r^2(h+\frac{4}{3}r)

The radius of the cylinder is the same of the radius of each half sphere. So:

r=5mm \\ \\ h=10mm \\ \\ \\ V=(3.14) (5)^2((10)+\frac{4}{3}(5)) \\ \\ V=25(3.14)(10+\frac{20}{3}) \\ \\ \boxed{V\approx 1308.33mm^3}

Suppose that a random sample of 10 adults has a mean score of 62 on a standardized personality test, with a standard deviation o
aniked [119]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test is between 59.92 and 64.08. The lower end is 59.92, and the upper end is 64.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645*\frac{4}{\sqrt{10}} = 2.08

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 62 - 2.08 = 59.92

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 62 + 2.08 = 64.08.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test is between 59.92 and 64.08. The lower end is 59.92, and the upper end is 64.08.

Sarah needs 30 liters of a 25% acid solution how many liters of the 10% and the 30% acid solutions should she mix to get what sh
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of 10% solution plus volume of 30% solution = total volume of 25% volume.

x + y = 30

Acid in 10% solution plus acid in 30% solution = total acid in 25% solution.

0.10 x + 0.30 y = 30 × 0.25

0.10 x + 0.30 y = 7.5

Solve the system of equations, using either substitution or elimination.  I'll use substitution:

x = 30 − y

0.10 (30 − y) + 0.30 y = 7.5

3 − 0.10 y + 0.30 y = 7.5

0.20 y = 4.5

y = 22.5

x = 30 − y

x = 7.5

Sarah needs 7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution.

People enjoyed attending the concert in the park.
Luden [163]

Answer:

w = 238

Step-by-step explanation:

So create a system of equations if the number of m = 2w where the men's number is twice the women's number.  and m + w = 714 so substitute 2w for m

2w + w = 714 so 3w = 714, divide both sides by 3, you get w = 238
