Brewed decaffeinated coffee contains some caffeine. We want to estimate the amount of caffeine in 8 ounce cups of decaf coffee at local fast food restaurants. Assume that the standard deviation in the amount of caffeine in 8 ounces of decaf coffee is known to be 2 mg. If we wanted to estimate the true mean amount of caffeine in 8 ounce cups of decaf coffee to within /- 0.5 mg, how large a sample would we have to take to achieve this result

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We would have to take a sample of 62 to achieve this result.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence level of 95%.

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 Ztable as such z has a pvalue 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.

Assume that the standard deviation in the amount of caffeine in 8 ounces of decaf coffee is known to be 2 mg.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 2[/tex]

If we wanted to estimate the true mean amount of caffeine in 8 ounce cups of decaf coffee to within /- 0.5 mg, how large a sample would we have to take to achieve this result?

We would need a sample of n.

n is found when [tex]M = 0.5[/tex]. So

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

[tex]0.5 = 1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.5\sqrt{n} = 2*1.96[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.5

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 4*1.96[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (4*1.96)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 61.5[/tex]

Rounding up

We would have to take a sample of 62 to achieve this result.

Answers

Answer:

Assuming that this data is used to conduct a hypothesis test to test the manufacturers' claim, the test statistic we an use is:

the paired sample t-test.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Analysis:

Subject   Before   After

1                 225      215

2                245     240

3                 188      188

4                210       212

5               282       175

6               275      260

7               230      225

8               195      200

9               190       185

b) The paired sample t-test is used to compare the means from the same dataset but at different times (say, one month apart).  It supports the comparison of sample data before and after the data subjects have taken the dietary supplement.  When the t-value is high, it is an evidence that the null hypothesis should be rejected.  The higher value of the t-test, therefore, indicates that there is a large difference between the two sample sets.  On the other hand, a small t-value shows similarity between the two sample sets.

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

We can use a ratio to solve the problem;

5 pounds/ 4 dollars  = 50 pounds/ x dollars

Using cross products;

5x = 4 x 50

5x = 200

Divide by 5;

5x/5 = 200/5

x = 40

The state of Georgia has roughly 10⁷ human residents. Each human has roughly 10¹³ bacteria cells in his or her digestive tract. How many bacteria cells are there in the digestive tracts of all the humans in Georgia?

Answers

Answer:

10^20

Step-by-step explanation:

So in this word problem, we have to multiply 10^13 bacteria cells on a single person by the 10^7 of people.

Always remember this, when you have exponenets with the same bases, and the question asks for multiplying and dividing exponents, you just need to add and subtract the exponent.

So in this case, we will just add since it calls for multipactation.

So we need to solve:

10^13+7

This will just equal:

10^20 power

Answer:

F'=(1,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, F is moved 4 units right and 2 units down: add 4 to the x component of the coordinate and take 2 from the y component:

-3+4=1

7-2=5

So our point is (1.5) before it is reflected over the y-axis.

When a point (a,b) is reflected over the y-axis, it's coordinates change to (a,-b). Therefore (1,5) changes to (1,-5)

a. The approximate change in volume is dV = _______. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)
b. The approximate change in volume is dV = ___________ (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

Answers

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The volume of a right circular cone with radius r and height h is V = pir^2h/3. a. Approximate the change in the volume of the cone when the radius changes from r = 5.9 to r = 6.8 and the height changes from h = 4.00 to h = 3.96.

b. Approximate the change in the volume of the cone when the radius changes from r = 6.47 to r = 6.45 and the height changes from h = 10.0 to h = 9.92.

a. The approximate change in volume is dV = _______. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

b. The approximate change in volume is dV = ___________ (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

Solution :

Given :

The volume of the right circular cone with a radius r and height h is

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

[tex]$dV = d\left(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\right)$[/tex]

[tex]$dV = \frac{1}{3} \pi h \times d(r^2)+\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 dh$[/tex]

[tex]$dV = \frac{2}{3} \pi r h (dr)+\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 dh$[/tex]

a). The radius is changed from r = 5.9 to r = 6.8 and the height is changed from h = 4 to h = 3.96

So, r = 5.9  and dr = 6.8 - 5.9 = 0.9

     h = 4  and dh = 3.96 - 4 = -0.04

Now, [tex]$dV = \frac{2}{3} \pi r h (dr)+\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 dh$[/tex]

[tex]$dV = \frac{2}{3} \pi (5.9)(4)(0.9)+\frac{1}{3} \pi (5.9)^2 (-0.04)$[/tex]

[tex]$dV=44.484951 - 1.458117$[/tex]

[tex]$dV=43.03$[/tex]

Therefore, the approximate change in volume is dV = 43.03 cubic units.

b).  The radius is changed from r = 6.47 to r = 6.45 and the height is changed from h = 10 to h = 9.92

So, r = 6.47  and dr = 6.45 - 6.47 = -0.02

     h = 10  and dh = 9.92 - 10 = -0.08

Now, [tex]$dV = \frac{2}{3} \pi r h (dr)+\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 dh$[/tex]

[tex]$dV = \frac{2}{3} \pi (6.47)(10)(-0.02)+\frac{1}{3} \pi (6.47)^2 (-0.08)$[/tex]

[tex]$dV=-2.710147-3.506930$[/tex]

[tex]$dV= -6.22$[/tex]

Hence, the approximate change in volume is dV = -6.22 cubic units

Imagine that a researcher correctly computes a correlation coefficient to quantify the relationship between two variables. In the data set that she works with, low scores on Variable X tend to be paired with low scores on Variable Y, and high scores on Variable X tend to be paired with high scores on Variable Y. Based on this data set, what type of correlation coefficient should the researcher expect to find

Answers

Answer:

Positive value of correlation Coefficient

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation Coefficient value, R is a correlation measure which gives information about both the strength of association between two variables and also the type of association between them (negative or positive). R has a standardized value which ranges from - 1 to +1

Negative relationship between variables are depicted with negative (where one variable decreases as the other increases) R value while positive association (increase in one variable means leads to increase in the other variable) are depicted with positive R values.

Therefore, for the relationship described above, the correlation Coefficient will be positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability is shown below:

= 1 - 8 ÷ 20

= 20 - 8 ÷ 20

= 12 ÷ 20

= 0.60

Hence, the no elephant or bear car precedes the first car with lions is 0.60
