A random sample of 864 births in a state included 426 boys. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of boys in all births. It is believed that among all births, the proportion of boys is 0506 Do these sample results provide strong evidence against that belief?

Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of boys in all births.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval is (0.46, 0.526), and it does not provide strong evidence against that belief.

What is a confidence interval of proportions?

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

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

In which:

[tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so the critical value is z = 1.96.

We have that a random sample of 864 births in a state included 426 boys, hence the parameters are given by:

[tex]n = 864, \pi = \frac{426}{864} = 0.493[/tex]

Then, the bounds of the interval are given by:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.493 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.493(0.507)}{864}} = 0.46[/tex]

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.493 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.493(0.507)}{864}} = 0.526[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of boys in all births is (0.46, 0.526). Since the interval contains 0.506, it does not provide strong evidence against that belief.

if a sum of money increased by 1/5 of itself every year and in 5 years amounts to Rs.8546,find the sum

Answers

Answer:

Answer :

Given  : If a sum of money amounts to Rs 2200 in 5 years

Let sum of money =  x

And as given : The interest is 3838 of the principal . So we get

x ( 3838 ) = 2200 - x

3x  =  17600 - 8x

11x  =  17600

x   =  1600

So, Sum of money  =  Rs . 1600

Then interest =  2200 -  1600 =  Rs . 600

Let Rate of interest  = r  %

And we know Simple interest  = P × r × t100P × r × t100 , So we get

⇒1600 × r × 5100 =  600⇒16× r × 5100 =  6⇒80r  =  600⇒r = 60080 = 152 =  712%⇒1600 × r × 5100 =  600⇒16× r × 5100 =  6⇒80r  =  600⇒r = 60080 = 152 =  712%

Total Cost ($)

48
57

Answers

The cost per page is $1.5 and 38 pages of the book will cost $57

Proportions

Data;

number of page = 20cost = $30

To solve this question, we have to know the cost of one page of the book.

In the first scenario, 20 pages cost $30, let's find the cost of one page here.

[tex]20 page = \$30\\1 page = x\\x = \frac{30}{20}\\x = 1.5[/tex]

We can confirm our answer here by testing with the second scenario;

[tex]32 page = \$48\\1page = y\\y = \frac{48}{32} = 1.5[/tex]

Now can say that one page of the book cost $1.5, let's divide 57 by this to determine the number of pages

[tex]z = \frac{57}{1.5} \\z = 38[/tex]

From the calculations above, 38 pages of the book will cost $57.

Probability of Rebecka selecting a poodle = 5/11

Probability of Aaron selecting a poodle = 5/11

Both select one puppy at random with replacement, so their choices are independent.

Compute the Laplace Transforms of

f(x) = { x² +2x +1 , x < 3
{ e⁻⁵ˣ , x ≥ 3


Answers

This is made easy if you know the Laplace transform pair

[tex]u(t - c) y(t - c) \mapsto e^{-cs} Y(s)[/tex]

where u(t) is the Heaviside step function and Y(s) is the Laplace transform of y(t).

We rewrite f, g, and h in terms of u :

[tex]f(x) = (x^2+2x+1) (u(x) - u(x-3)) + e^{-5x} u(x-3)[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = \sin(3x) (u(x-5) - u(x-10))[/tex]

[tex]h(x) = (u(x) - u(x-4)) + 2(u(x-4)-u(x-8)) + 3 (u(x-8)-u(x-16))[/tex]

and we also rearrange terms to get the right shift in argument:

[tex]f(x) = (x^2+2x+1) u(x) - ((x-3)^2+8(x-3)+16) u(x-3) + e^{-15} e^{-5(x-3)} u(x-3)[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = [\cos(15) \sin(3(x-5)) + \sin(15) \cos(3(x-5))] u(x-5) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~- [\cos(30) \sin(3(x-10)) + \sin(30) \cos(3(x-10))] u(x - 10)[/tex]

[tex]h(x) = u(x) + u(x-4) + u(x-8) - 3 u(x - 16)[/tex]

Now we can apply the known transform pair, along with

[tex]x^n \mapsto \dfrac{n!}{s^{n+1}}[/tex]

[tex]e^{ax} \mapsto \dfrac1{s-a}[/tex]

[tex]\sin(ax) \mapsto \dfrac{a}{s^2+a^2}[/tex]

[tex]\cos(ax) \mapsto \dfrac{s}{s^2+a^2}[/tex]

The transforms of f, g, and h are then

[tex]F(s) = e^{-s} \left(\dfrac2{s^3} + \dfrac2{s^2} + \dfrac1s\right) - e^{-3s} \left(\dfrac2{s^3} + \dfrac8{s^2} + \dfrac{16}s\right) + \dfrac{e^{-15} e^{-3s}}{s + 5} \\\\ = \boxed{e^{-s} \left(\dfrac2{s^3} + \dfrac2{s^2} + \dfrac1s\right) - e^{-3s} \left(\dfrac2{s^3} + \dfrac8{s^2} + \dfrac{16}s\right) + \dfrac{e^{-3(s+5)}}{s + 5}}[/tex]

[tex]G(s) = \dfrac{3\cos(15) e^{-5s}}{s^2+9} + \dfrac{s \sin(15) e^{-5s}}{s^2+9} - \dfrac{3\cos(30)e^{-10s}}{s^2+9} - \dfrac{s \sin(30) e^{-10s}}{s^2+9} \\\\ ~~~~~~~ = \dfrac{3(\cos(15)-\cos(30)) + s(\sin(15) - \sin(30))}{s^2+9} \\\\ ~~~~~~~ = \boxed{\dfrac{6\sin\left(\frac{45}2\right)\sin\left(\frac{15}2\right) - 2s \cos\left(\frac{45}2\right)\sin\left(\frac{15}2\right)}{s^2+9}}[/tex]

Rewrite each equation without absolute value for the given conditions. y=|x-3|+|x+2|-|x-5| if -2

Answers

The equation y = |x-3| + |x+2| - |x-5| is an absolute value equation

The equivalent equation of y = |x-3| + |x+2| - |x-5|  if -2 < x < 3 is y = x

How to rewrite the absolute value equation?

The equation is given as:

y = |x-3| + |x+2| - |x-5|

The condition is given as:

if -2 < x < 3

Split and solve each term of the absolute value equation.

|x-3| = -(x - 3) = 3 - x....... because x < 3

|x+2| = x + 2 because -2 < x

|x-5| = -(x - 5) = 5 - x....... because x < 5

So, we have:

y = |x-3| + |x+2| - |x-5|

This gives

y = (3 - x) + (x + 2) - (5 - x)

Open the brackets

y = 3 - x + x + 2 - 5 + x

Evaluate the like terms

y = x

Hence, the equivalent equation of y = |x-3| + |x+2| - |x-5|  if -2 < x < 3 is y = x
