Five students visiting the student health center for a free dental examination during National Dental Hygiene Month were asked h

ow many months had passed since their last visit to a dentist. Their responses were as follows. 5 17 12 21 29 Assuming that these five students can be considered a random sample of all students participating in the free checkup program, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of months elapsed since the last visit to a dentist for the population of students participating in the program. (Give the answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

[0.9 months, 32.69 months]

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is

\bf \bar x=\frac{5+17+12+21+29}{5}=16.8

The standard deviation is

\bf s=\sqrt{\frac{(5-16.8)^2+(17-16.8)^2+(12-16.8)^2+(21-16.8)^2+(29-16.8)^2}{5}}=8.1092

Now, we have to find two values a and b such that the area under the Normal curve with mean 16.8 and standard deviation 8.1092 between a and b equals <em>95% = 0.95 </em>

Using a spreadsheet we find these values are

a = 0.906

b = 32.694

<h3>(See picture) </h3>

and our 95% confidence interval for the mean number of months elapsed since the last visit to a dentist for the population of students participating in the program rounded to two decimal places is

[0.9 months, 32.69 months]

A film distribution manager calculates that 4% of the films released are flops. If the manager is correct, what is the probabili
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

9.34%

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 4%, or 0.04

n = Sample size = 667

u = Expected value = n * p = 667 * 0.04 = 26.68

SD = Standard deviation = \sqrt{np(1-p)}  =\sqrt{667*0.04*(1-0.04)} = 5.06

Now, the question is if the manager is correct, what is the probability that the proportion of flops in a sample of 667 released films would be greater than 5%?

This statement implies that the p-vlaue of Z when X = 5% * 667 = 33.35

Since,

Z = (X - u) / SD

We have;

Z = (33.35 - 26.68) / 5.06

Z = 1.32

From the Z-table, the p-value of 1.32 is 0.9066

1 - 0.9066 = 0.0934, or 9.34%

Therefore, the probability that the proportion of flops in a sample of 667 released films would be greater than 5% is 9.34%.
