Determine if the finite correction factor should be used. If​ so, use it in your calculations when you find the probability. In a sample of 800 gas​ stations, the mean price for regular gasoline at the pump was $2.816 per gallon and the standard deviation was ​$0.008 per gallon. A random sample of size 45 is drawn from this population. What is the probability that the mean price per gallon is less than ​$2.812​?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0003 = 0.03% probability that the mean price per gallon is less than ​$2.812​

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Finite correction factor:

If the sample is more than 5% of the population, instead of Central Limit Theorem, we use the finite correction factor, as the standard deviation of the sampling distribution would be too big.

The mean price for regular gasoline at the pump was $2.816 per gallon and the standard deviation was ​$0.008 per gallon.

Large sample, so this can be treated as the population data. Then [tex]\mu = 2.816, \sigma = 0.008[/tex]

Sample of 45:

45/800 = 0.056 = 5.6% -> Sample more than 5% of the population, so we use the finite correction factor. This means that s will be multiplied by:

[tex]FCF = \sqrt{\frac{N-n}{N-1}}[/tex]

In which n is the size of the sample(45) and N is the size of the population (800). So

[tex]FCF = \sqrt{\frac{755}{799}} = 0.9721[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem, [tex]n = 45, s = 0.9721*\frac{0.008}{\sqrt{45}} = 0.00116[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean price per gallon is less than ​$2.812​?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2.812. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{2.812 - 2.816}{0.00116}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3.45[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3.45[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0003

0.0003 = 0.03% probability that the mean price per gallon is less than ​$2.812​

The average age at which adolescent girls reach their adult height is 16 years. Suppose you have a sample of 27 adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed, and who have an average age at which they reached their adult height of 17.1 years and a sample variance of 36.0 years. You want to test the hypothesis that adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed have a different age at which they reached their adult height than all adolescent girls.

Calculate the t statistic. To do this, you first need to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error is SM=_________ .The t statistic is _________. Now suppose you have a larger sample size n 81. Calculate the estimated standard error and the t statistic for this sample with the same sample average and the same standard deviation as above, but with the larger sample size. The new estimated standard error is __________ .The new t statistic is___________

Answers

Answer:

a) t-statistic  t = 0.9532

b) The standard error  S.E = 1.2

c) The new  t-statistic = 1.95

d)  The new estimated standard error =0.666

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the mean of the Population = 16

The sample size n=27

The mean of the sample = 17.1

Given that the variance of the sample (S²) = 36.0

The standard deviation of the sample (S) = √36 = 6

Test statistic

  [tex]t = \frac{x^{-} -mean}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

 [tex]t = \frac{17.1 -16}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{27} } }[/tex]

t = 0.9532

b)

   The standard error is defined by

  [tex]S.E = \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } = \frac{6}{\sqrt{27} } =1.154[/tex]

Step(ii):-  

c) given that the sample size n = 81

Test statistic

 [tex]t = \frac{x^{-} -mean}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

 [tex]t = \frac{17.1 -16}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{81} } }[/tex]

t = 1.65

d)

The new standard error is defined by

  [tex]S.E = \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } = \frac{6}{\sqrt{81} } = 0.66[/tex]

Angelica calculated the distance between the two points shown on the graph below.

On a coordinate plane, line A B has points (2, negative 5) and (negative 4, 5).

Step 1: Use the point C(–4, –5) to make a right triangle with the 90 degree vertex at C.

Step 2: Determine the lengths of the legs: AC = 6 and BC = 10.

Step 3: Substitute the values into the Pythagorean theorem: 10 squared = 6 squared + c squared.

Step 4: Evaluate 10 squared = 6 squared + c squared. 100 = 36 + c squared. 64 = c squared. 8 = c.

slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y=mx+b\\ \\ m=\frac{-7-8}{8-\ -2}=\frac{-15}{10}=\ -\frac{3}{2}\\ \\ y=\ -\frac{3x}{2}+b,\ (-2,8)\\ \\ 8=\ -\frac{3(-2)}{2}+b\\ \\ 8=3+b,\ b=5\\ \\ y=\frac{10-3x}{2}[/tex]

Answer:   y  = - 3/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation in slope intercept form, you will have to find the slope and the y-intercept.

(-2,8) (8,-7)  

To find the slope using these points, you will find the difference in the y coordinates and divide it by the difference in the x coordinates.

-7 - 8 = - 15

8 - (-2) = 10

   Slope:   -15/10   =  -3/2  

The slope is  -3/2

Now using the formula y=mx+b  , use one of the given points and the slope to solve for b , which is the y-intercept.

     8  = -3/2(-2) + b

    8 = 3 + b

   -3     -3

    b = 5

An experimental psychologist plans a study in which a crucial step is offering participants a food reward. It is important that the three food rewards be equal in appeal. Thus, a prestudy was designed in which participants were asked which of the rewards they preferred. Of the 60 participants, 16 preferred cupcakes, 26 preferred candy bars, and 18 favored dried apricots. Do these scores suggest that the different foods are differentially preferred by people in general? (Use the .05 significance level.)
You must use all five steps in hypothesis testing:
Restate the question as a research hypothesis and a null hypothesis about the populations.
Determine the characteristics of the comparison distribution.
Determine the cutoff sample score on the comparison distribution at which the null hypothesis should be rejected.
Determine your sample’s score on the comparison distribution.
Decide whether to reject the null hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

[tex]\mathbf{H_o: there \ is \ no \ significanr \ difference \ between \ observed \ and \ expected \ value }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{H_a: there \ is \ significanr \ difference \ between \ observed \ and \ expected \ value }[/tex]

The characteristic of the comparison is a uniform distribution.

Since there are three categories from the data, then: the data obeys a U(0,3) distribution. However, supposed it happened that different food had the same appeal, thus, there will be uniform distribution in the preference score.

[tex]Degree \ of \ freedom \ df = n - 1 \\ \\ df = 3 - 1 = 2[/tex]

At 0.05;

Thus, at 0.05 and df of 2, the cutoff sample score at which [tex]H_o[/tex] will be reject is the critical value [tex]\mathbf{X_{0.05,2}^2 \ which \ is \ = 5.991}[/tex]

Prefered     Observed    Expected     Expected     (O - E)       (O - E)²/ E

                   frequency   frequency     proportions

Cup cakes           16        20                  0.333          -4.00           0.800

Candy bars          26       20                 0.333             6.00           1.800

Dried apricots      18        20                 0.333            -2.00          0.200

Total                     60       20                     1                 -2.00           2.800

Thus the sample score is [tex]\mathbf{X^2_{observed} = 2.800}[/tex]

Decision rule: To reject the null hypothesis if the observed test statistic is higher than the critical value.

Conclusion: We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that different foods have the same appeal to different people.

The only undefined values of x come from the denominator, x^3.

A denominator cannot equal zero since division by zero is undefined.

Therefore if x^3 equals zero, you get an un defined expression.
