The pulse rates of 174 randomly selected adult males vary from a low of 39 bpm to a high of 111 bpm. Find the minimum sample siz

e required to estimate the mean pulse rate of adult males. Assume that we want 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 3 bpm of the population mean. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below. a. Find the sample size using the range rule of thumb to estimate σ.

Answer:

a. The sample size is approximately 97 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of adults surveyed, n = 174

The lowest value of the pulse rate = 39 bpm

The highest value of the pulse rate = 111 bpm

The level of confidence used for determining the sample size = 90%

The given sample mean = 3 pm of the population mean

a. The range rule of thumb states that the standard deviation is approximately one quarter (1/4) of the range

The range = 111 bpm - 39 bpm = 72 bpm

Therefore, the standard deviation, σ = 72 bpm/4 = 18 bpm

The sample size, 'N', is given as follows;

N = \dfrac{z^2 \cdot p \cdot q}{e^2}

Where;

N = The sample size

z = The confidence level, 90% (z-score at 90% = 1.645)

p·q = σ² = 18² = 324

e² = 3² = 9

N = \dfrac{1.645^2  \times 324}{3^2} = 97.4169

Therefore the appropriate sample size, N ≈ 97 adults.

Find the equation of a circle whose endpoints of the diameter are (15, - 3) and (7,3). The equation of the circle is (Simplify y
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

(x - 11)² + y² = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the center

O = ( (15 +7 / 2), (-3 + 3)/2 )

O = (11, 0)

Then find the radius squared

use the distance formula from the center to either end point of the diameter

r² = (15 - 11)² + (-3 - 0)²

r² = 16 + 9

r² = 25

Formula for circle

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

(h, k) is the center = (11, 0)

The equation is

(x - 11)² + y² = 25
