Gribbles are small, pale white, marine worms that bore through wood. While sometimes considered a pest since they can wreck wooden docks and piers, they are now being studied to determine whether the enzyme they secrete will allow us to turn inedible wood and plant waste into biofuel.1 A sample of 50 gribbles finds an average length of 3.1 mm with a standard deviation of 0.72. Give a best estimate for the length of gribbles, a margin of error for this estimate (with 95% confidence), and a 95% confidence interval.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The best estimate for the length of gribbles is of 3.1 mm.

The margin of error for this estimate, with 95% confidence, is of 0.2 mm.

The 95% confidence interval is between 2.9 mm and 3.3 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

Best estimate for the length of gribbles

The best estimate is the sample mean, that is 3.1 mm.

Margin of error:

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 50 - 1 = 49

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 49 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.01

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.01\frac{0.72}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.2[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The margin of error for this estimate, with 95% confidence, is of 0.2 mm.

Confidence interval:

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 3.1 mm - 0.2 mm = 2.9 mm

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 3.1 mm + 0.2 mm = 3.3 mm

The 95% confidence interval is between 2.9 mm and 3.3 mm.

What is the Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem which is also referred to as the Pythagorean theorem explains the relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle. According to the Pythagoras theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a triangle.

From the triangle we have WX=b, WZ=c, ZY=3, YX=a and WY=4.

By Pythagoras theorem,

c²=4²+3²

c²=16+9

c²=25

c=5 units

In triangle WXZ,

(3+a)²=5²+b² ----(i)

From the triangle WXY,

b²=4²+a² ------(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii), we get

(3+a)²=5²+4²+a²

9+6a+a²=41+a²

6a=32

a=32/6

a=[tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] units

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

In a recent academic year, many public universities in the United States raised tuition and fees due to a decrease in state subsidies. The change in the cost of tuition, a shared dormitory room, and the most popular meal plan from the previous academic year for a sample of 10 public universities were as follows:

$1,589, $593, $1,223, $869, $423, $1,720, $708, $1,425, $922 and $308.

a. What is the mean and median change in the cost? (Explain how you obtain your answer.)
b. What is the five-number summary of the change in the cost? (Explain how you obtain your answer.)
c. What is the standard deviation of the change in the cost? (Explain how you obtain your answer.)
d. The middle 50% of the change in the cost is spread over what value? (Explain how you obtain your answer.)
e. What is the coefficient of variation of the change in cost? (Explain how you obtain your answer.)
f. What are the (absolute values of) the Z scores of the change in cost?

Answers

Answer:

1. mean = 980 median = $895.5

2. 308, 593, 895.5, 1425, 1720

3. 491.7978

4. 895.5

5. 50.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. mean $1,589+$593+$1,223+$869+$423+$1,720+$708+$1,425+$922+$308/10

= 9780/10

= $978

median

We first arrange the values in ascending order

308,423,593,708,869,922,1223,1425,1589,1720

number of observation is even so we pick the 2 values in the middle and divide by 2

= 869+922/2

= $1791/2

$895.5

2. five number summary of change

the botom half of th dta set = 308,423,593,708,869

minimum value = 308

n = 5

median = 593 = q1

from 1, q2 = median = $895.5

the upper half of data

922,1223,1425,1589,1720

n = 5

median = $1425

maximum value = $1720

the five number summary of change in cost is therefore

308, 593, 895.5, 1425, 1720

3. standard deviation

[tex]s =[\sqrt{x-barx} ]^{2} \frac{1}{n-1}[/tex]

bar x is the mean = 978

($1,589-978)²+ ($593-978)²+ ($1,223-978)²+ ($869-978)+ ($423-978)²+ $1,720-978)²+($708-978)²+ ($1,425-978)²+ ($922-978)²+ ($308-978)²

= 2176786

=[tex]\sqrt\frac{1}{10-1} {2176786} \\\sqrt{ \frac{2176786}{9}[/tex]

= [tex]\sqrt{241865.1}[/tex]

= 491.7978

4.  middle 50% is spread over the median, which is 895.5

5.  coefficient of variation

= s/bar x * 100

= 491.7978/978 * 100

= 49179.78/978

= 50.28%

6. z score = x - mean/s

x = 1589

= 1589-978/491.7978

= 1.2424

for x = 593

593-978/491.7978

= -0.7828

= 0.7828

for x = 1223

1223-978/491.7978

for x = 869

869-978/491.7978

= 0.2216

for x = 423

423-978/491.7978

Answer:

The average rate of change is of -13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change:

The average rate of change of a function in an interval [a,b] is given by:

[tex]A = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}[/tex]

In this question:

Between 2 and 6. So

[tex]f(6) = -5(6) - 6^2 = -30 - 36 = -66[/tex]

[tex]f(2) = -5(2) - 2^2 = -10 - 4 = -14[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{-66 - (-14)}{6 - 2} = \frac{-66 + 14}{4} = \frac{-52}{4} = -13[/tex]

The average rate of change is of -13.

2. Calculate the sample mean for the given sample data.
3. Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Answers

Answer:

1. 112.364<μ,131.636

2. mean = 122

3. critical value = +-2.1318

Step-by-step explanation:

117+118+140+116+119/5

= 610/5

= 122

the sample mean = 122

the sample standard deviation

s² = (117-122)²+(118-122)²+(140-122)²+(116-122²)+(119-122)²/5-1

= 25+16+324+36+9/4

= 410/4

= 102.5

s² = 102.5

s = √102.5

s= 10.12

SE = s/√n

= 10.12/√5

= 4.52

degree of freedom = 5-1 = 4

critical value of t = +-2.1318 using soft ware

confidence interval =

mean +- t(SE)

122-(2.1318)(4.52), 122+(2.1318)(4.52)

= [112.364, 131.636]

112.364<μ,131.636

therefore these are the answers in the ordre it was given in the question

1. 112.364<μ,131.636

2. mean = 122

3. critical value = +-2.1318

What is horizontal shift?

Given a function  f , a new function  g(x)=f(x−h) , where  h  is a constant, is a horizontal shift of the function  f . If  h  is positive, the graph will shift right. If  h  is negative, the graph will shift left.

Thus, since, f(x) has shifted 4 units to the right horizontally, the correct equation of g(x) = [tex](x-4)^{2}[/tex].

What is the System of equations?Inconsistent System

For a system of equations to have no real solution, the lines of the equations must be parallel to each other.

Consistent System

For a system of the equation to be a Dependent Consistent System, the system must have multiple solutions for which the lines of the equation must be coinciding.

For a system of the equation to be an Independent Consistent System the system must have one unique solution for which the lines of the equation must intersect at a particular.

The solution of the equation can be found by plotting the equation on the graph. Therefore, the point at which the equation will intersect will the solution of the system of equation.

Since the solution of the system of equation is (-0.6, 0.2), there exists only one single solution for the system of equation. therefore, the (-1,3) is not the solution of the system of equation.
