The Student Monitor surveys 1200 undergraduates from 100 colleges semiannually to understand trends among college students. Rece

ntly, the Student Monitor reported that the average amount of time spent per week on the Internet was 19.0 hours. You suspect that this amount is far too small for your campus and plan a survey. You feel that a reasonable estimate of the standard deviation is 10.0 hours. What sample size is needed so that the expected margin of error of your estimate is not larger than one hour for 95% confidence

Answer:

A sample size of 385 is needed.

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 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025

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

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

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.

You feel that a reasonable estimate of the standard deviation is 10.0 hours.

This means that \sigma = 10

What sample size is needed so that the expected margin of error of your estimate is not larger than one hour for 95% confidence?

A sample size of n is needed. n is found when M = 1. So

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

1 = 1.96\frac{10}{\sqrt{n}}

\sqrt{n} = 1.96*10

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*10)^2

n = 384.16

Rounding up:

A sample size of 385 is needed.

Which of the following could be the system of nonlinear inequalities graphed below?
Ivan

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

The equation of the solid line is

y=5

The solution is the shaded area above the solid line

so

The equation of the first inequality is

y\geq 5

step 2

The equation of the dashed line is

y=x^{2} -5x+6

The solution is the shaded area above the dashed line

so

The equation of the second inequality is

y>x^{2} -5x+6

therefore

The system of inequalities could be

y\geq 5

y>x^{2} -5x+6

Scores on a certain IQ test are knownto have a mean of 100. A random sample of 43 students attend a series of coaching classes b
NeX [460]

Answer:

Part 1

Type II error

Part 2

No ; is not ; true

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Mean = 100

The Random sample is taken = 43 students

Based on the given information, the conclusion is as follows

Part 1

Since it is mentioned that the classes are successful which is same treated as a null rejection and at the same time it also accepts the alternate hypothesis

Based on this, it is a failure to deny or reject the false null that represents type II error

Part 2

And if the classes are not successful so we can make successful by making type I error and at the same time type II error is not possible

Therefore no type II error is not possible and when the null hypothesis is true the classes are not successful

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

She makes $325 a week, so go to the 8th row, for weekly income of $300 to $400.  She claims 2 exemptions, so go to the third column labeled 2.  The value is 2.  That means the $2 is withheld from her paycheck on top of the 6.25% for FICA.  The total is therefore:

$2 + (0.0625) ($325)

$22.3125

Rounded to the nearest cent, that's $22.31.
