There is a population of millions of computer chips produced at a factory. The production process is so precious that it is known that the population standard deviation for their mass is 2 milligrams. We want to get a 95% confidence interval for the mass of a single microchip produced here. So we randomly sample 100 microchips. The sample average mass turns out to be 1972 milligrams. They found this by placing them all on a scale at once and finding a mass of 197.2 grams, and then dividing by 100. You don't think they would actually weigh each one individually, do you? That would be super annoying.

Required:
Find a 95% confidence interval for the mass of a microchip produced at this factory.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mass of a microchip produced at this factory is between 1971.608 milligrams and 1972.392 milligrams.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.392[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1972 - 0.392 = 1971.608 milligrams

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1972 + 0.392 = 1972.392 milligrams

The 95% confidence interval for the mass of a microchip produced at this factory is between 1971.608 milligrams and 1972.392 milligrams.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]p' = 0.22[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = \frac{78}{100}[/tex]

Required

Probability that a [tex]customer[/tex] does [tex]not[/tex] live [tex]within[/tex] [tex]50[/tex] miles

To do this, we make use of complement rule;

Which states that:

[tex]p + p' = 1[/tex]

Make p' the subject

[tex]p' = 1 - p[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]p' = 1 - \frac{78}{100}[/tex]

The odds of winning a contest are approximately 5:1476. How many winners are there likely to be if there are 50000 participants?

Answers

i think it might be 295

Answer:

Approximately 169

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up as fractions and use cross multiplilcation to solve for the unknown.

These are our fractions from the information we are given; the winners represent the numerators (and x is the unknown, becuase we don't yet know how many winners there will be with 50000 participants). Note that the denominator on the first fraction is (1476 + 5) because we want it to represent TOTAL amount of particpants in the ratio:

[tex]\frac{5}{1481} = \frac{x}{50000}[/tex]

Now cross multiply by multiplying numerators and denominators that are ACROSS from each other, so 5 * 50000 and 1481 * x; now we have:

250000 = 1481x

Now to isolate x (to know its value) we need to divide both sides by 1481, and we are left with:

168.8 = x

But I rounded up to 169.

The text book store sold a combined total of 326 history and chemistry textbooks in a week. The number of chemistry textbooks sold was 86 less than the number of history textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type was sold?

Answers

Answer:

The sentence

"The Number of Chem textbooks sold is 86 less than the number of History textbooks"

This seems to be the confusing part.

Now look at it this way...

'If CHM text is 86 less than History text... It also means that History Text is 86 More than CHM'

This expression can be written as

Let History Text be "H"

Let CHM text be "C"

C - 86 = H

or

C=H + 86.......1

First line of this question is interpreted thus

H + C = 326.......2

From eqn 1... C=H+86

Substitute into Eqn 2

H + C=326

H + (H+86)=326

H+H=326-86

2H=240

H=240/2

H=120.

C=H+86

C=120+86

C=206.

This answer is correct... Why?

The key statement says .. The Number of CHM sold is 86 less than History...

Also interpreted as

The Number of CHM – 86 = History

206 - 86 =120.

A radioactive substance decays to 30% of its original mass in 15 months. Determine the half-life of this radioactive substance to the nearest tenth. Show your work.

please help

Answers

Answer:

The half-life of this radioactive substance is of 8.6 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay of an amount:

The equation that models an amount after t units of time, subject to exponential decay, is given by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

A radioactive substance decays to 30% of its original mass in 15 months.

This means that [tex]A(15) = 0.3A(0)[/tex]. We use this to find 1 - r.

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]0.3A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{15}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^{15} = 0.3[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[15]{(1-r)^{15}} = \sqrt[15]{0.3}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = (0.3)^{\frac{1}{15}}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.9229[/tex]

So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.9229)^t[/tex]

Determine the half-life of this radioactive substance to the nearest tenth.

This is t for which A(t) = 0.5A(0). So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.9229)^t[/tex]

[tex]0.5A(0) = A(0)(0.9229)^t[/tex]

[tex](0.9229)^t = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\log{(0.9229)^t} = \log{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]t\log{0.9229} = \log{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{\log{0.5}}{\log{0.9229}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 8.6[/tex]

The half-life of this radioactive substance is of 8.6 months.

outside the court ard is 120 m“, find the width of the path.
A square garden has an area of 441 m². If the path of uniform width surrounding inside the
garden is 216 m², find the width of the path.

Answers

Answer:

Area of a square garden = 2, 500 m².

Length of the side of the garden =  √2,500 = 50 m.

Width of the path = 2.5 m.

Path is inside the garden.

Width of the garden that is inside (enclosed) by the path:

        50 - 2 * 2.5 = 45 m.

Length of the garden inside by the path :  = 45 m.

So the area of garden inside the path = 45 * 45 m²

     = 2, 025 m².

Area of the path = 2, 500 - 2, 025  

    = 475 m².

Cost of laying the path = Rs 25 /m² * 475 m²

   = Rs 11, 875.

The foci of the hyperbola will be (3, -2 + √29) and (3, -2 - √29). Then the correct option is B.

What is a hyperbola?

The hyperbola is the locus of a point such that the difference of distance from point P to two non-movable points. These two points are called foci of hyperbola.

The hyperbolic equation is given as,

(y - k)² /a² - (x - h)² /b² = 1

Then the foci of the hyperbola are given as,

(h, k + c) and (h, k - c)

The equation of the hyperbola is given below.

(y + 2)² /25 - (x - 3)² / 4 = 1

Compare the equations, then we have

(h, k) = (3, -2)

a² = 25

b² = 4

Then the value of 'c' is given as,

c² = a² + b²

c² = 25 + 4

c² = 29

c = √29

Then the foci of the hyperbola will be (3, -2 + √29) and (3, -2 - √29). Then the correct option is B.
