Estimate the average time spent picking one's nose in minutes per day

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the book, ''Guesstimation: Solving the World's Problems on the Back of a Cocktail Napkin'', on average, everyone picks their noses for 2 minutes each day.

This figure is simply a reasonable compromise between the least and highest amount of time that people can spend picking their nose in a day as well as the assumption that everyone does it.

In 2008 the Better Business Bureau settled 75% of complaints they received (USA Today, March 2, 2009). Suppose you have been hired by the Better Business Bureau to investigate the complaints they received this year involving new car dealers. You plan to select a sample of new car dealer complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Better Business Bureau is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for new car dealers is .75, the same as the overall proportion of complaints settled in 2008

b. Based upon a sample of 450 complaints, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within .04 of the population proportion?
c. Suppose you select a sample of 200 complaints involving new car dealers. Show the sampling distribution of .
d. Based upon the smaller sample of only 200 complaints, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within .04 of the population proportion?
e. As measured by the increase in probability, how much do you gain in precision by taking the larger sample in part (b)?

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

 [tex]\mu_{\hat p}= p[/tex]

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

 [tex]\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

(a)

The sample selected is of size n = 450 > 30.

Then according to the central limit theorem the sampling distribution of sample proportion is normally distributed.

The mean and standard deviation are:

[tex]\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.75\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{450}}=0.0204[/tex]

So, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is [tex]\hat p\sim N(0.75,0.0204^{2})[/tex].

(b)

Compute the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion as follows:

[tex]P(p-0.04<\hat p<p+0.04)=P(\frac{-0.04}{0.0204}<\frac{\hat p-p}{\sigma_{\hat p}}<\frac{0.04}{0.0204})[/tex]

                                          [tex]=P(-1.96<Z<196)\\=P(Z<1.96)-P(Z<-1.96)\\=0.975-0.025\\=0.95[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion is 0.95.

(c)

The sample selected is of size n = 200 > 30.

Then according to the central limit theorem the sampling distribution of sample proportion is normally distributed.

The mean and standard deviation are:

[tex]\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.75\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{200}}=0.0306[/tex]

So, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is [tex]\hat p\sim N(0.75,0.0306^{2})[/tex].

(d)

Compute the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion as follows:

[tex]P(p-0.04<\hat p<p+0.04)=P(\frac{-0.04}{0.0306}<\frac{\hat p-p}{\sigma_{\hat p}}<\frac{0.04}{0.0306})[/tex]

                                          [tex]=P(-1.31<Z<196)\\=P(Z<1.31)-P(Z<-1.96)\\=0.9049-0.0951\\=0.8098\\\approx 0.81[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion is 0.81.

(e)

The probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion if the sample size is 450 is 0.95.

And the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion if the sample size is 200 is 0.81.

So, there is a gain in precision on increasing the sample size.

Find the standard deviation of the following data. Round your answer to one decimal place.

X: 0 1 2 3 4 5

P(X) : 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2

Answer:

1.833

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

X: 0 1 2 3 4 5

P(X) : 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2

Standard deviation (s) = Sqrt[Σx²*f(x) - E(x)²]

E(x) = (0*0.2) + (1*0.3)+(2*0.1)+(3*0.1) + (4*0.1) + (5 * 0.2) = 2.2

Sqrt[Σx²*f(x) - E(x)²]: [(0^2 * 0.2)+(1^2 * 0.3)+(2^2 * 0.1)+(3^2 * 0.1) + (4^2 * 0.1) + (5^2 * 0.2)] - 2.2²

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a part of a whole number, and a way to split up a number into equal parts. It is a number expressed as a quotient, in which a numerator is divided by a denominator.

For the given situation,

The fraction is given as  [tex]\frac{4\frac{1}{2} }{1\frac{1}{4} }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{\frac{9}{2} }{\frac{5}{4} }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]  

⇒ [tex]\frac{18}{5}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]3\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Thus from the above value a = 3, b= 3, c= 5.

Hence we can conclude that the values of the fraction are a = 3, b= 3,   c= 5 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just so that we have something to work with, the length of the longest day (June 22) in Acron Ohio is 15 hours 8 minutes and 9 seconds on the 20th of June of this year. The number we get won't be this accurate, but it will tell us if we have done it correctly. The tricky part is when to use the radians.

cos(0.1309 H) = -0.4336 tan (40o 46 minutes)  I have assumed this is in radians. It won't work any other way. The measurement cannot be in degrees which will give a negative tan from the minus sign out in front. The cos being minus will make things even worse.

cos(0.1309 H) = -0.4336 tan (40 46/60  )

cos(0.1309 H) = -0.4336 tan (40.766666667)

cos(0.1309 H) = -0.4336 * -0.074173405

cos(0.1309 H) = 0.032161588

0.1309 H = cos-1(0.032161588)

0.1309 H =  1.538629191

H = 1.538629191 / 0.1309

H = 11.754 which is no where near 15 hours, but it is what the numbers give.

I would suggest that you go to your instructor for the other two. Work this one out until you get somewhere near 11.7 hours.

The other two cities should come to something near  this answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It says that $42 was 1/3 of her total. So you multiply $42 by 3 and you get $126. You now divide $126 by her weekly allowance, $4.5, and the answer is 28.

1. $42 x 3 = $126

2. $126/$4.5 = 28

3. The answer is Sharon has been saving her allowance for 28 weeks.

Hope this helps!

-Jerc

Answer:

She has been saving her money up for 28 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If 42 is 1/3 of her money, then you would multiply 42 by 3 to get the full 3/3 so: 423=126

2. Next, you would divide $126 by $4.50 because that is the total amount of money divided by how much she saved up each week, so: 126/4.5=28 and that gives us the answer which is 28.
