The population standard deviation for the height of college football players is 2.7 inches. If we want to estimate a 95% confidence interval for the population mean height of these players with a 0.65 margin of error, how many randomly selected players must be surveyed? (Round up your answer to nearest whole number, do not include any decimals) Answer:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 66 (to the nearest whole number)

66 randomly selected players must be surveyed

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

x+/-M.E

M.E = zr/√n

Making n the subject of formula;

n = (zr/M.E)^2 ........1

Given that;

Mean = x

Standard deviation r = 2.7 inches

Number of samples = n

Confidence interval = 95%

z(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Margin of error M.E = 0.65 inches

Substituting the given values into equation 1;

n = (zr/M.E)^2

n = (1.96×2.7/0.65)^2

n = 66.28464852071

n = 66 (to the nearest whole number)

66 randomly selected players must be surveyed

The cost of a parking permit consists of a one-time administration fee plus a monthly fee. A permit purchased for 12 months costs $660. A permit purchased for 15 months costs $810.

Answers

The question is incomplete:

The cost of a parking permit consists of a one-time administration fee plus a monthly fee. A permit purchased for 12 months costs $660. A permit purchased for 15 months costs $810.

What is the administration fee?

Answer:

$60

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the administration fee, first you have to calculate the difference between the two permits and divide that by the month difference that is: 15-12= 3 to know the cost of the monthly fee:

$810-$660= 150

$150/3= $50

Now, you can multiply the monthly fee for 12 to know the total cost of the monthly fee for 12 months and then, subtract this from the cost of a permit purchased for 12 months to find the cost of the one-time administration fee:

$50*12= $600

$660-$600= $60

According to this, the administration fee is $60.

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of a right triangle divides it into two smaller triangles, all three of which are similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔADB ~ ΔBDC

Writing and solving a proportion:

AD / BD = BD / CD

(x + 3) / 5 = 5 / (2x + 3)

(x + 3) (2x + 3) = 25

2x² + 9x + 9 = 25

2x² + 9x − 16 = 0

x = [ -9 ± √(81 − 4(2)(-16)) ] / 2(2)

x = [ -9 ± √(81 + 128) ] / 4

x = (-9 ± √209) / 4

x = -5.86 or 1.36

Since x can't be -5.86, x = 1.36.  So the length of CD is:

Why do we think 0! = 1?

Answers

[tex]4!=4\times3\times2\times1=24\\3!=3\times2\times1=6\\2!=2\times1\\1!=1\\0!=?[/tex]

Notice that when we go from 4! to 3! , we divide by 4.

(Because [tex]4!\div 4 = 4\times3\times2\times1\div4=3\times2\times1=3![/tex]  the 4's cancel)

And when we go from 3! to 2! , we divide by 3, and etc.

We can use this pattern to see why 0! = 1.

[tex]4!=4\times3\times2\times1=24\\3! = 4!\div4=24\div4=6\\2!=3!\div3=6\div3=2\\1!=2!\div2=2\div2=1\\0!=1!\div1=1\div1=1[/tex]

And so by following the pattern, we determine that 0! = 1

-------------------------------

Note:

There are no factorials of negative numbers, and we can use the pattern to show why:

[tex]0!=1\\-1!=0!\div0=1\div0=???!!??!?[/tex]

You can't divide a number by 0, therefore -1! doesn't exist, so -2! doesn't exist and so on. So you can't do the factorial of any negative number.

A cement walkway of uniform width has been built around an in-ground rectangular pool. the area of the walkway is 1344 square feet. the pool itself is 80 feet long by 20 feet wide. what is the width of the walkway?

Answers

Answer:

6 feet.

Dimensions of the Pool =80 feet long by 20 feet wide

Area of the walkway =1344 square feet.

If the width of the walkway=w

20% of the people in a community use the emergency room at in one year,find the probability that at most three used the emergency room for a sample of 10 people

Answers

Answer:

The probability that at most three used the emergency room for a sample of 10 people is 0.8791.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random  variable X can be defined as the number of people in a community using the emergency room.

The probability that a person uses the emergency room is, p = 0.20.

A sample of n = 10 people are selected.

A person using the emergency room is independent of others.

The random variable X thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 10 and p = 0.20.

The probability mass function of X is provided as follows:

[tex]P(X=x)={10\choose x}\ (0.20)^{x}\ (1-0.20)^{10-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...[/tex]

Compute the probability that at most three used the emergency room as follows:

P (X ≤ 3) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3)

             [tex]=\sum\limits^{3}_{x=0}{{10\choose x}\ (0.20)^{x}\ (1-0.20)^{10-x}}\\\\=0.10737+0.26844+0.30199+0.20133\\\\=0.87913\\\\\approx 0.8791[/tex]

Thus, the probability that at most three used the emergency room for a sample of 10 people is 0.8791.

Graded Problem Set Jenna needs to make some house repairs in three years that will cost $9,000. She has some money in an account earning 9% annual interest. How much money needs to be in the account today so she will have enough to pay for the repairs

Answers

Answer:

She needs $6,949.65 in the account today.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

[tex]A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

In this question:

She needs $9,000 in 3 years, so [tex]t = 3, A(t) = A(3) = 9000[/tex]

9% annual interest, so [tex]r = 0.09[/tex]

1 compounding, so [tex]n = 1[/tex]

How much money needs to be in the account today so she will have enough to pay for the repairs

We need to find P.

[tex]A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]9000 = P(1 + \frac{0.09}{1})^{1*3}[/tex]

[tex]P(1.09)^{3} = 9000[/tex]

[tex]P = \frac{9000}{(1.09)^{3}}[/tex]

[tex]P = 6949.65[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

C. 271.44 [tex]mm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first find the volume of the pipe, then find the volume of the hole and then subtract the volume of the hole from the volume of the pipe.

The diameter of the pipe is 8.4 mm. This means its radius is:

8.4/2 = 4.2 mm

The height of the pipe is 10 mm

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

[tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]

where r = radius

h - height

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder  without the hole is:

[tex]V = \pi * 4.2^2 * 10\\\\V = 554.18 mm^3[/tex]

The diameter of the hole is 6 mm. Its radius is:

6/2 = 3 mm

The volume of the hole is:

[tex]V = \pi * 3^2 * 10\\\\V = 282.74 mm^3[/tex]

The volume is:

554.18 - 282.74 = 271.44 [tex]mm^3[/tex]

Complete the standard form of the equation of a hyperbola that has vertices at (-10, -15) and (70, -15) and one of its foci at (-11, -15).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{(x-30)^{2}}{40^{2}} - \frac{(y+15)^{2}}{3^{2}} = 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the horizontal hyperbola in standard form is:

[tex]\frac{(x-k)^{2}}{a^{2}} - \frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1[/tex]

The position of its center is:

[tex]C(x,y) = \left(\frac{-10 + 70}{2}, -15 \right)[/tex]

[tex]C(x, y) = (30,-15)[/tex]

The values for c and a are respectively:

[tex]a = 70 - 30[/tex]

[tex]a = 40[/tex]

[tex]c = 30 - (-11)[/tex]

[tex]c = 41[/tex]

The remaining variable is computed from the following Pythagorean identity:

[tex]c ^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}[/tex]

[tex]b = \sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]b = \sqrt{41^{2}-40^{2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When we calculate a confidence interval with an unknown population standard deviation, we estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use the t-score instead of the z-score.

The critical value for t depends on the level of confidence and the degrees of freedom.

If the sample size is 42, the degrees of freedom are:

You don't even need to do any math for this one.

All of the other figures will fit inside the first figure with space left over. Obviously, the first figure has the greatest volume.

The Cube is the diagram with the greatest volume which is 64 inch³.

What is the Volume of a solid shape?

The volume of a solid body represents the space occupied by the body.

For example:

Volume of Cube = (side)³

Volume of Sphere = 4/3  π (radius)³

Volume of Cylinder = π (radius)² (height)

Volume of Cone = ⅓ pi (radius)² (height)

How to solve the problem?

We will just put the value of radius, side, and height in the formula of the Volume of the corresponding diagrams.

Volume of the given Cube = (4)³ = 64 inch³

Volume of the given sphere = 4/3 π (2)³ = 8(4/3)π = 33.51  inch³

as the radius of the sphere is 2 inches, because the diameter of the sphere is 4 inches.

Volume of the given Cylinder =  π (2)² (4) =50.26 inch³

as the radius of the Cylinder is 2 inches, because the diameter of the Cylinder is 4 inches.

Volume of the given Cone = ⅓ π (2)² (4) = 16.76  inch³

as the radius of the Cone is 2 inches, because the diameter of the Cone is 4 inches.

Thus, we come to the conclusion that the Cube is the diagram with the greatest volume which is 64 inch³.
