3. P343. 13. A sociologist is interested in surveying workers in computer-related jobs to estimate the proportion of such workers who has changed jobs within the past years. (a) In the absence of preliminary data, how large a sample must be taken to ensure that a 95% confidence interval will specify the proportion to within ±0.05? (b) In a sample of 100 workers, 20 of them had changed jobs within the past year. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of workers who have changed jobs within the past year. (c) Based on the data in part (b), estimate the sample size needed so that the 95% confidence interval will specify the proportion to within ±0.05.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) A sample of 385 must be taken.

b) The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of workers who have changed jobs within the past year is (0.1216, 0.2784).

c) A sample of 246 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

Absence of preliminary data:

This means that we use [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex], which is when the largest sample will be needed.

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

How large a sample must be taken to ensure that a 95% confidence interval will specify the proportion to within ±0.05?

A sample of n must be taken.

n is found when [tex]M = 0.05[/tex]. So

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.05

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.96*10[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (19.6)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 384.16[/tex]

Rounding up,

A sample of 385 must be taken.

Question b:

In a sample of 100 workers, 20 of them had changed jobs within the past year.

This means that [tex]n = 100, \pi = \frac{20}{100} = 0.2[/tex]

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{100}} = 0.1216[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{100}} = 0.2784[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of workers who have changed jobs within the past year is (0.1216, 0.2784).

Question c:

Same procedure as question a, just with [tex]\pi = 0.2[/tex]

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.2*0.8}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.05})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 245.8[/tex]

Rounding up

A sample of 246 is needed.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for the surface area of all 6 sides of the Shoe box. Hence we will have to multiply all the dimensions with each other twice to get the surface area of all the sides.

9x10x2=180

9x3x2=54

10x3x2=60

Complete the expression so that it forms a perfect square trinomial--don't forget the sign for an operation. Then write the expression for the perfect square binomial using ^ to make an exponent. x^2+5 perfect square binomial

Answers

The perfect square trinomial is x^2 + 45/4.

To complete the expression as a perfect square trinomial, we need to add a term to the given expression, x^2 + 5, in such a way that it becomes a perfect square.

A perfect square trinomial can be written in the form (a + b)^2, where a and b are real numbers.

In this case, we can observe that the coefficient of x^2 is already 1, so the value of a will be 1.

To find the value of b, we take half of the coefficient of x, which is (5/2), and square it: (5/2)^2 = 25/4.

Now, we can add this term to the given expression:

x^2 + 5 + 25/4

Combining the terms, we get:

x^2 + 25/4 + 20/4

Simplifying further:

x^2 + 45/4

For the perfect square binomial, we can write the expression using the exponent notation as follows:

(x + (sqrt(45/4)))^2

Note that sqrt denotes the square root.

Answer:

1.39 ; 2.02 ; 2.90

Step-by-step explanation:

From the F - distribution calculator

F0.25, 8, 2 ;

u = 8 ; v = 25 ; cumulative probability = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

F value = 1.39

F0.10,12,15 :

u = 12 ; v = 15 ; cumulative probability = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

F value = 2.02

F0.01,12,6

u = 12 ; v = 6 ; cumulative probability = 1 - 0.01 = 0.90

F value = 2.90

What is the radius and diameter of the following circle?
16 cm

Answers

Answer:

radius is 16

diameter is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Your radius is the line starting from the point in the middle to any part of the edge of the circle. A diameter is when there is a long straight line from both ends reaching the edges of the circle crossing the point.

A diameter is just the radius doubled but except it all has to be straight coming reaching both edges.

A radius is half of a diameter.

Answer:

radius = 16 cm

diameter = 32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

radius = a straight line from the center of the circle to any point on the circle's circumference

We are given the radius (16 cm)

The diameter is equal to twice the length of the radius

So diameter = 16 * 2

16*2=32 so the length of the diameter is 32 cm
