Megavolt begins manufacturing evil light bulbs for his latest scheme. To ensure quality, he tests every 100th bulb manufactured,

starting with the 42nd. What method is Megavolt use to select his sample?

Answer:

Megavolt used a Systematic sampling method.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

For every 100th evil light bulbs tested, he starts with the 42nd. This implies that;

The first bulb tested is the 142nd bulb, the second bulb tested is the 242nd...

The sequence is as follows:

142nd, 242nd, 342nd, 442nd, 542nd, 642nd .... etc

From the starting point of manufacturing the evil light bulb, the sequence is derived from sampling where each nth unit is known to be a sample, and this is only feasible in systematic sampling.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

The margin of error for this case is given by:

ME= z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

And replacing we got:

ME = 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.0259

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.52 - 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.4941

0.52 + 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.5459

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.4941;0.5459).

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

n=1000 represent the random sample taken    

\hat p=0.52 estimated proportion of of U.S. employers were likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)    

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

The margin of error for this case is given by:

ME= z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

And replacing we got:

ME = 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.0259

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.52 - 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.4941

0.52 + 1.64*\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{1000}}=0.5459

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.4941;0.5459).

Answer:

  • \sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The two points:</u>

  • (0, 0) and (-3, -2)

<u>The distance:</u>

  • d = \sqrt{(x2- x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 }
  • d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{13}

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x - 4y equals 9 + contains (-4, -5)
Inga [223]
  • Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx+b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept

So perpendicular lines have <u>slopes that are negative reciprocals</u> to each other, but firstly we need to find the slope of the original equation. The easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form into slope-intercept.

Firstly, subtract 3x on both sides of the equation: -4y=-3x+9

Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form of the original equation is y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{9}{4}

Now looking at this equation, we see that the slope is 3/4. Now since our new line is perpendicular, this means that <em>its slope is -4/3.</em>

Now that we have the slope, plug that into the m variable and plug in (-4,-5) into the x and y coordinates to solve for the b variable as such:

-5=-\frac{4}{3}*-4+b\\\\-5=5\frac{1}{3}+b\\\\-10\frac{1}{3}=b

<u>In short, your new equation is y = -4/3x - 10 1/3.</u>
