An advertising agency that serves a major radio station wants to estimate the mean amount of time the station’s audience members

listen to the radio on a daily basis. From past studies the population standard deviation is known to equal 45 minutes. What sample size is needed if the agency wants to be 90% confident of being within (±) 5 minutes of the true mean amount of time audience members listen to the radio per day?

Answer:

The margin of error for the true mean is :

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

n=(\frac{1.645(45)}{5})^2 \\\\=219.18\\\\ \approx 220

Therefore, the answer for this case would be n = 220

Step-by-step explanation:

Population standard deviation is 45

Margin of error is 5

|Z(0.05)|=1.645 (check standard normal table)

The margin of error for the true mean is :

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

n=(\frac{1.645(45)}{5})^2 \\\\=219.18\\\\ \approx 220

Therefore, the answer for this case would be n = 220

Answer:

n=(\frac{1.645(45)}{5})^2 =219.18 \approx 220

So the answer for this case would be n=220 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\sigma = 45 represent the population deviation

ME = 5 represent the margin of error

The margin of error for the true mean is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =5 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (4) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 90% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance level is \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and the critical value would be z_{\alpha/2}=1.645, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{1.645(45)}{5})^2 =219.18 \approx 220

So the answer for this case would be n=220 rounded up to the nearest integer

Please Help!! what value of b makes the trinomial below a perfect square?
Anna [14]
Remember, you take 1/2 of b and square it to get c

c=100
(b/2)^2=c
(b/2)^2=100
sqrt oth sides
b/2=+/-10
times both sides by 2
b=+/-20
it is 20 or -20

The measures of two pairs of corresponding angles of two triangles are 24 degrees and 55 degrees. Explain why the two triangles
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Are the two triangles below similar?

Triangles ABC and DEF are shown. Angle A measure 30 degrees, angle C measure 65 degrees, side AC measures 14, side AB measures

Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles

No, because there are not two pairs of congruent corresponding angles

Yes, because the corresponding sides are proportional

No, because the corresponding sides are not proportional

What is the range of function y=√(-2cos^2x+3cosx-1)
Ugo [173]
Hello Friend,here is the solution for your question


<span>so the given function is </span>
y= √(-2cos²x+3cosx-1)
 i.e = √[-2(cos²x-3/2+1/2)]
i.e = √[-2(cosx-3/4)²-9/16+1/2]
i.e. = √[-2(cos-3/4)²-1/16]
i.e. = √[1/8-3(cosx=3/4)²]-----------(1)

Now here  in this equation is this quantity :-
<span>(cosx=3/4)²----------------(2)   is to it's minimum value then the whole equation </span>
<span>i.e. = √[1/8-3(cosx=3/4)²] will be maximum and vice versa </span>


And we know that cosx-3/4 will be minimum if cosx=3/4
<span>therefore put this in (1) we get </span>
(cosx=3/4)²=0    [ cosx=3/4]
<span>hence the minimum value of the quantity (cosx=3/4)² is 0 </span>

<span>put this in equation (1) </span>
we get ,
i.e. = √[1/8-3(cosx=3/4)²]
   =√[1/8-3(0)]        [ because minimum value of of the quantity (cosx=3/4)² is 0 ]
     =√1/8
      =1/(2√2)

<span>this is the maximum value now to find the minimum value </span>

<span>since this is function of root so the value of y will always be ≥0 </span>

<span>hence the minimum value of the function y is 0 </span>


<span>Therefore, the range of function </span>y is [0,1/(2√2)]

Answer:

a. Genre with highest mean is drama. Mean is 72.10

B. 10.46 is difference between means of comedy and horror

C. Horror has the lowest minimum value at 25.00

Action and comedy both have the highest maximum value at 93.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First create a table with the data provided like I did in the attachment. It would give a clearer picture of what your answers should be.

1. Which genre has the highest mean score?

From the table, we have the means as:

Action = 58.63

Comedy = 59.11

Drama = 72.10

Horror = 48.65

The genre with the highest score is drama at 72.10

2. Difference in mean score between comedy and horror

Mean of comedy = lc = 59.11

Mean of horror = ly = 48.65

Difference = lc-ly

= 59.11 - 48.65

= 10.46

3. The genre with lowest score is the genre with the lowest minimum value. This genre is horror and the lowest minimum is 25.00

The genre with highest minimum value is that whose maximum value is the highest out of all the genres. Both action and comedy have the highest maximum value at 93.00
