Of interest is to determine the mean age of students at the time they take the comprehensive exam for all students enrolled in graduate programs that require students to take comprehensive exams. A simple random sample of 31 students enrolled in graduate programs was selected, and the age of each student when they took the comprehensive exam was recorded. The mean age at the time of taking the comprehensive exam for this sample of 31 students was 27.5 years with a standard deviation of 2.9 years; there were no outliers in the sample that would lead one to suspect heavy skewness in the distribution. If appropriate, use this information to calculate and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the mean age of students at the time they take the comprehensive exam for all students enrolled in graduate programs that require students to take comprehensive exams. Use this information to answer questions 3-5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the mean age of students at the time they take the comprehensive exam for all students enrolled in graduate programs that require students to take comprehensive exams is between 26.2 and 28.8 years. This means that we are 98% sure that the mean age of all students taking the exam is between 26.2 and 28.8 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 31 - 1 = 30

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 30 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99[/tex]. So we have T = 2.457

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.457\frac{2.9}{\sqrt{31}} = 1.3[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 27.5 - 1.3 = 26.2 years

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 27.5 + 1.3 = 28.8 years

The 98% confidence interval for the mean age of students at the time they take the comprehensive exam for all students enrolled in graduate programs that require students to take comprehensive exams is between 26.2 and 28.8 years. This means that we are 98% sure that the mean age of all students taking the exam is between 26.2 and 28.8 years.

gimme answer fastt pls​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

When we observe the figure there are two semicircles , one of radius 14cm . And other will be of 14cm/2 = 7cm ( Since the 2nd semi circle is drawn taking radius of 1st semicircle as diameter.)

Now join T to the center of 2nd semi circle . Therefore , we have

[tex]\tt\to PR = 28cm \\\\\tt\to PQ + 14cm = 28cm \\\\\tt\to PM + MQ = 14cm \\\\\tt\to MQ = 14cm - 7cm \\\\\to\boxed{\orange{\tt MQ = 7cm }}[/tex]

Now , looking at the figure we know that radius is perpendicular to the tangent at point of contact . Here TR is tangent . Therefore ∆TRM is right angled triangle. Using Pythagoras Theorem we have,

[tex]\tt\to 21^2 = RT^2+7^2 \\\\\tt\to RT^2= 441 - 49 \\\\\tt\to RT =\sqrt{392}\\\\\tt\to\boxed{\orange{\tt RT = 19 .79 cm }}[/tex]

The values of 60, 62, and 84 were common to both samples. The three values are identified as outliers with respect to the age-group 20 years to 30 years because they are either 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR) greater than the upper quartile or 1.5 times the IQR less than the lower quartile. Using the same method for identifying outliers, which of the three values are identified as outliers for the age-group 40 years to 50 years

Answers

Answer:

Only 60 is an identified outlier

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Age group: 40 to 50

[tex]Min = 60[/tex]           [tex]Q_1 = 70[/tex]           [tex]Median= 73[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = 76[/tex]              [tex]Max = 85[/tex]

Conditions for outlier

[tex]Value > Q_3 + 1.5 * IQR[/tex]

[tex]Value < Q_1 - 1.5 * IQR[/tex]

See attachment for complete question

Required

Which of 60, 62 and 84 is an outlier of age grout 40 to 50 years

First, calculate the IQR of group 40 to 50.

This is calculated as:

[tex]IQR = Q_3 - Q_1[/tex]

Where:

[tex]Q_3 = 76[/tex] and [tex]Q_1 = 70[/tex]

So:

[tex]IQR = 76 - 70[/tex]

[tex]IQR = 6[/tex]

Next, is to test the outlier conditions on each value (i.e. 60, 62 and 84)

Testing 60

Condition 1

[tex]Value > Q_3 + 1.5 * IQR[/tex]

[tex]60 > 76 + 1.5 * 6[/tex]

[tex]60 > 76 + 9[/tex]

[tex]60 > 85[/tex] --- False

Condition 2

[tex]Value < Q_1 - 1.5 * IQR[/tex]

[tex]60 < 70 - 1.5 * 6[/tex]

[tex]60 < 70 - 9[/tex]

[tex]60 < 61[/tex] --- True

Because one of the conditions is true, then 60 is an outlier of group 40 - 50 years

Testing 62

Condition 1

[tex]Value > Q_3 + 1.5 * IQR[/tex]

[tex]62> 76 + 1.5 * 6[/tex]

[tex]62 > 76 + 9[/tex]

[tex]62 > 85[/tex] --- False

Condition 2

[tex]Value < Q_1 - 1.5 * IQR[/tex]

[tex]62 < 70 - 1.5 * 6[/tex]

[tex]62 < 70 - 9[/tex]

[tex]62 < 61[/tex] --- False

Because both conditions are false, then 62 is  not an outlier of group 40 - 50 years

Testing 84

Condition 1

[tex]Value > Q_3 + 1.5 * IQR[/tex]

[tex]84> 76 + 1.5 * 6[/tex]

[tex]84 > 76 + 9[/tex]

[tex]84 > 85[/tex] --- False

Condition 2

[tex]Value < Q_1 - 1.5 * IQR[/tex]

[tex]84 < 70 - 1.5 * 6[/tex]

[tex]84 < 70 - 9[/tex]

[tex]84 < 61[/tex] --- False

Because both conditions are false, then 84 is  not an outlier of group 40 - 50 years

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2}x - 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2}x[/tex]

Required

Shift [tex]3\ units[/tex] down and [tex]2\ units[/tex] right

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2}x[/tex]

Shift 3 units down

The rule is: (x,y)=> (x,y-a)

Where a is the number of units shifted down

In this case: [tex]a = 3[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2}x[/tex] == > [tex]y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3[/tex]

Shift 2 units right

The rule is: (x,y)=>(x-b,y)

Where b is the number of units shifted right

In this case: [tex]b = 2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3[/tex] ==> [tex]y = \frac{1}{2}(x - 2) - 3[/tex]

Open bracket:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2}x - 1 - 3[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2}x - 4[/tex]

Hence, the new equation after the transformation is:

The speed of a boat in still water is 10 km/hr. The boat travels 24 km upstream, turns
around and comes back the same route. The entire trip takes 5 hours, What is the
speed of the current?

Answers

Answer:

rate of the current = 2 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

d = rt

Let c = rate of the current

Rate of boat downstream = 10 + c

Time going downstream = 24/(10 + c)

Rate of boat upstream = 10 - c

Time going upstream = 24/(10 - c)

Since the total time is 5 hr, then

24/(10 + c) + 24/(10 - c) = 5

24(10 - c) + 24(10 + c) = 5(10 + c)(10 - c)

240 - 24c + 240 + 24c = 500 - 5c^2

480 = 500 - 5c^2

5c^2 = 20

c^2 = 4

c = 2  or  -2

Since a rate cannot be negative, the rate of the current = 2 km/hr

Given that the glass can hold a maximum volume of 60 cm3, what is the height of the glass? Round to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

Answers

Answer:

The volume of cone = Maximum holding of glass = 60 cube cm(cm^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cone formula:

[tex] v = \frac{1}{3} \pi \: r {}^{2} h[/tex]

The radius is 3cm and Volume is 60cm^3.

if pi =~ 3 So the "h" is 6.66 cm.

"h" is distance from cone's head to its base.

The "H"( height of glass) = 6.66 + 7 = 13.6 =~ 14

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  13.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cone is given by ...

  V = 1/3πr²h

For the given dimensions, we have ...

  60 cm³ = 1/3π(3 cm)²h

  20/π cm = h ≈ 6.37 cm . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of h

The overall height of the glass, H, is 7 cm more than the value of h.

  H = 7 cm +6.4 cm = 13.4 cm

The height of the glass is 13.4 cm.

Ahmad took out a loan for 146 days and was charged simple interest at an annual rate of 12.5%.
The total interest he paid on the loan was $245.
How much money did Ahmad borrow?

Answers

Answer:

$488778

Step-by-step explanation:

For a for interest is;

i = PRT/100

Where;

R is rate

P is Principal

T is time

i is interest

We are given;

R = 12.5% = 0.125.

T = 146 days = (146/364) = 0.4011

i = $245

Thus;

245 = (P × 0.125 × 0.4011)/100

Thus;

P = (245 × 100)/(O.125 × 0.401)

P = $488778

Complete question :

Two researchers, Jaime and Mariya, are each constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of a population who is left-handed. They find the point estimate is 0.13. Each independently constructed a confidence interval based on the point estimate, but Jaime’s interval has a lower bound of 0.097 and an upper bound of 0.163, while Mariya’s interval has a lower bound of 0.117 and an upper bound of 0.173. Which interval is wrong? Why?

Answer:

Mariya's interval

Step-by-step explanation:

Point estimate = 0.13

Mariya's confidence interval :

Lower boundary = 0.117

Upper boundary = 0.173

Jamie's confidence interval :

Lower boundary = 0.097

Upper boundary = 0.163

The correct confidence interval should have an average value equal to the value of the point estimate ;

Jamie's confidence interval average :

(0.097 + 0.163) / 2 = 0.26 / 2 = 0.13

Mariya's confidence interval average :

(0.117 + 0.173) / 2 = 0.29 / 2 = 0.145

Based on the confidence interval average obtained we can conclude that Mariya's interval is wrong as it the average obtained is greater than the point estimate.
