Wal-Mart conducted a study to check the accuracy of checkout scanners at its stores. At each of the 60 randomly selected Wal-Mar

t stores, 100 random items were scanned. The researchers found that 52 of the 60 stores had more than 2 items that were priced inaccurately (the national standards allow a maximum of 2 items out of 100 items priced accurately by the scanners). a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned and give a practical interpretation of this interval. (3 Points) b) Wal-Mart claims that 99% of its stores comply with the national standard on accuracy of price scanners. Comment on the believability of Wal-Mart’s claim based on your results in part (a). (1 Point) c) Determine the number of Wal-Mart stores that must be sampled in order to estimate the true proportion to within 0.05 with 90% confidence. (3 Points)

Answer:

a

The 95% confidence interval is

   0.7811 <  p <  0.9529

Generally the interval above can interpreted as

    There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned lie within the interval  

b

  Generally  99% is outside the interval obtained in a  above then the claim of Wal-mart is not believable  

c

 n =  125  \  stores  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n =  60  

    The number of stores that had more than 2 items price incorrectly is  k =  52  

   

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as  

             \^ p  =  \frac{ k }{ n }

=>          \^ p  =  \frac{ 52 }{ 60 }

=>          \^ p  =  0.867

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }

=>   E =  1.96  * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.867  (1- 0.867)}{60} }

=>   E =  0.0859

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      \^ p -E <  p <  \^ p +E

=>    0.867  - 0.0859  <  p <  0.867  +  0.0859

=>    0.7811 <  p <  0.9529

Generally the interval above can interpreted as

    There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned lie within the interval  

Considering question b

Generally  99% is outside the interval obtained in a  above then the claim of Wal-mart is not believable  

   

Considering question c

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  E = 0.05

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )

=> n=  [\frac{1.645 }}{0.05} ]^2 * 0.867  (1 - 0.867 )

=>   n =  125  \  stores

Answer:

(a)

5^{-3}=\frac{1}{125}

(b)

-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{125}

(c)

(-5^{-3})^{-1}=-125

(d)

(-5^{-3})^{0}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

5^{-3}

we can use property of exponent

a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}

we get

5^{-3}=\frac{1}{5^3}

5^{-3}=\frac{1}{5\times 5\times 5}

5^{-3}=\frac{1}{125}........Answer

(b)

-5^{-3}

we can use property of exponent

a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}

we get

-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{5^3}

-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{5\times 5\times 5}

-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{125}........Answer

(c)

(-5^{-3})^{-1}

we can use property of exponent

(a^{n})^m=a^{m\times n}

we get

(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)^{-3\times -1}

(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)^3

(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)\times (-5)\times (-5)

(-5^{-3})^{-1}=-125........Answer

(d)

(-5^{-3})^{0}

we can use property of exponent

(a^{n})^m=a^{m\times n}

we get

(-5^{-3})^{0}=(-5)^{-3\times 0}

(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)^0

we can use property

a^0=1

(-5^{-3})^{0}=1........Answer

Greg installed a circular drain that has a diameter of 4.8 inches. To the nearest tenth of an inch what is circumference of the
My name is Ann [436]

The circumference of the drain to the nearest tenth is 15.10 inches.

<h3>What is the circumference?</h3>

The circumference of the drain is the distance round the drain. Since the drain has the shape of a circle, the formula used to determine the circumference of a circle would be used to determine the circumference of the drain.

Circumference of the drain = πd

3.14 x 4.8 =15.10 inches
