A researcher wishes to estimate the proportion of X-ray machines that malfunction. A random 275 sample of machines is taken, and

228 of the machines in the sample malfunction.
Based upon this, compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all X-ray machines that malfunction. Then complete the table below.
Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to two decimal places.
What is the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval?
What is the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval?

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

95\% Confidence Interval for both the percentage of all x-ray machines

p = the machinery's share is not working:

= \frac{228}{275}\\\\ = 0.829

\text{Margin of Error} = Z_{(\frac{\alpha}{2})} \times \sqrt{( p \times (1-p)}{n})

                         = 1.96 \times \sqrt{(0.829 \times \frac{0.171}{275})} \\\\= 1.96 \times 0.023 \\\\= 0.045

Lower 95\% Confidence interval = p - error margin = 0.829 - 0.045 = 0.784

Upper 95\% Confidence Interval = p + error margin= 0.829 + 0.045 = 0.874

So, 95\% Confidence Interval = ( 0.78 , 0.87 )

The product of three consecutive integers is 3360. What is the sum of the three integers?
Tom [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

let the integer be x .

three consecutive integers : x, x+1, x+2.

according to the problem,.

Let the first of the 3 consecutive numbers be X.

Therefore the second number is (X + 1)

The third number is therefore (X + 2)

The product of the 3 consecutive numbers is:

( X )( X + 1 )( X + 2 ) = 3360 Equation( 1 )

Expanding Equation ( 1 ) gives

X³ + 3X² + 2X - 3360 = 0 Equation (2)

Solve Equation (2 ) which gives the following values for X

X1 = 14

X2 = - 8.5 + i (12.951834)

X3 = - 8.5 - i (12.951834).

the numbers are 14,15,16.

sum is 14+15+16 = 45.

hope this helps you.

if the probability that the islanders will beat the rangers in a game is 0.44,what is the probability that the islanders will wi
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

30.91% probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of four games in a series against the rangers

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the Islanders win, or they do not. The probability of the Islanders winning a game is independent of other games. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that the islanders will beat the rangers in a game is 0.44

This means that p = 0.44

What is the probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of four games in a series against the rangers? ​

This is P(X = 1) when n = 4. Then

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.44)^{1}.(0.56)^{3} = 0.3091

30.91% probability that the islanders will win exactly one out of four games in a series against the rangers

How do i solve for x by using natural log (in)?
Helga [31]

Unfortunately you cannot use logs to solve this.

However, it shouldn't take too long to use guess-and-check to see that

2^x+3^x = 2^2+3^2 = 4+9 = 13

Showing that x = 2 is the solution to the equation.

You can use a graphing calculator to graph out y = 2^x+3^x  and  y = 13. The two curves cross at (2,13). The x coordinate of that intersection is what we're after. GeoGebra and Desmos are two free options you can pick from in terms of a graphing calculator.
