Marine biologists have been studying the effects of acidification of the oceans on weights of male baluga whales in the Arctic Ocean. One of the studies involves a random sample of 16 baluga whales. The researchers want to create a 95% confidence interval to estimate the true mean weight of male baluga whales. Their data follow a normal distribution. The population standard deviation of weights of male baluga whales is ????=125 kg, and the researchers feel comfortable using this standard deviation for their confidence interval.
Assuming the relevant requirements are met, calculate the margin of error in estimating the true mean weight of male baluga whales in the Artic Ocean.
a. 15.31 kg
b. 51.40 kg
c. 61.25 kg
d. 80.49 kg

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. 61.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error in estimating the true mean weight of male baluga whales in the Artic Ocean.

a. 15.31 kg

b. 51.40 kg

c. 61.25 kg

d. 80.49 kg

Margin of Error Formula= z × Standard deviation/√n

95% confidence interval = 1.96

Standard deviation = 125kg

n = 16 samples

Margin of error= 1.96 × 125/√16

= 1.96 × 125/4

= 245/4

= 61.25kg

The margin of error in estimating the true mean weight of male baluga whales in the Artic Ocean is 61.25kg

What were the coordinates of point B after being translated 4 units left

Answers

Answer: B' (x-4,y)

Step-by-step explanation: A figure which is moved from one location to antoher, without changing its size, shape or orientation, is a figure that went through translation.

So, when a point is translated, it means it changed its position.

Point B has x- and y-coordinates: B(x,y)

Point B' after being translated 4 units left means:

(x,y) → (x-4,y)

In other words, translated point B has coordinates

B(x-4, y)

Because moving left is saying the point is moving towards the negative "side" of the x-axis.

In a sample of 80 light bulbs, the mean lifetime was 1217 hours with a standard deviation of 52 hours. a. Find the 95% confidence interval for the mean lifetime of this type of bulb. Justify the reason you chose the distribution used to construct the confidence interval. b. How many light bulbs must be sampled so that a 95% confidence interval will specify the mean lifetime to within [tex]\pm 8 \ hours[/tex]?

Answer:

a

    [tex]1206 <  \mu <  1228 [/tex]

The reason why a normal distribution was chosen is because the sample size is large enough that is  [tex]n > 30[/tex]  

b

   [tex]n =162 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n  =  80  

    The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 1217[/tex]

     The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 52[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of   is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]E = 1.96  *  \frac{ 52}{\sqrt{80} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]E = 11.395 [/tex]

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]\= x -E <  \mu <  \=x  +E[/tex]

=>   [tex]1217  -11.395 <  \mu <  1217  + 11.395[/tex]

=>   [tex]1206 <  \mu <  1228 [/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

   [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sigma }{E} ] ^2[/tex]

Here  E =  8

=>   [tex]n = [\frac{1.96  * 52 }{8} ] ^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]n =162 [/tex]

Find the solution of the second-order linear differential equation that satisfies the given initial conditions. y'' + 6y' + 9y = 0 y(0) = 0 y'(0) = 1

Answers

Answer:

The solution of this differential system is [tex]y(x) = x\cdot e^{3\cdot x}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

This second-order differential equation is homogeneous and linear of the form:

[tex]y'' + p\cdot y' +q\cdot y = 0[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]p[/tex] - First-order constant coefficient, dimensionless.

[tex]q[/tex] - Zero-order constant coefficient, dimensionless.

Whose characteristic polynomial is:

[tex]\lambda^{2}+p\cdot \lambda + q = 0[/tex] (2)

Where [tex]\lambda[/tex] contains the roots associated with the solution of the differential equation.

If we know that [tex]p = 6[/tex] and [tex]q = 9[/tex], the roots of the characteristic equation are, respectively:

[tex]\lambda^{2}+6\cdot \lambda + 9 = 0[/tex]

[tex](\lambda +3)\cdot (\lambda + 3) = 0[/tex]

Which means that [tex]\lambda_{1} = \lambda_{2} = 3[/tex] and the solution of the differential equation is of the form:

[tex]y(x) = e^{3\cdot x}\cdot (c_{1}+c_{2}\cdot x)[/tex] (3)

Where [tex]c_{1}[/tex] and [tex]c_{2}[/tex] are integration constants.

The first derivative of the equation above is:

[tex]y'(x) = 3\cdot e^{3\cdot x}\cdot (c_{1}+c_{2}\cdot x)+c_{2}\cdot e^{3\cdot x}[/tex] (4)

Now, if we get that [tex]y(0) = 0[/tex] and [tex]y'(0) = 1[/tex], then the system of equations to the solved is:

[tex]c_{1} = 0[/tex] (3b)

[tex]c_{1}+c_{2} = 1[/tex] (4b)

The solution of this system is: [tex]c_{1} = 0[/tex], [tex]c_{2} = 1[/tex]. Therefore, the solution of this differential system is [tex]y(x) = x\cdot e^{3\cdot x}[/tex].

A polling agency is investigating the voter support for a ballot measure in an upcoming city election. The agency will select a random sample of 400 voters from one region, Region A, of the city. Assume that the population proportion of voters who would support the ballot measure in Region A is 0.46.

Required:
What is the probability that the proportion of voters in the sample of Region A who support the ballot measure is greater than 0.50?

Answers

Answer:

0.0544

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

The population proportion of the voters that would support the ballot measures in region A = 0.46

The random sample n = 400 voters

The required probability can therefore be computed as follows:

[tex]P[p_1>0.5] = P \bigg [ \dfrac{p_1-P_1}{\sqrt{\dfrac{P_1(1-P_1)}{n_1}}}>\dfrac{0.5-0.46}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.46(1-0.46)}{400}}} \bigg][/tex]

[tex]P[p_1>0.5] = P \bigg [ Z>\dfrac{0.04}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.46(0.54)}{400}}} \bigg][/tex]

[tex]P[p_1>0.5] = P \bigg [ Z>\dfrac{0.04}{\sqrt{6.21\times 10^{-4}}} \bigg][/tex]

[tex]P[p_1>0.5] = P \bigg [ Z>1.605 \bigg][/tex]

[tex]P[p_1>0.5] = 1- P [ Z<1.605 ][/tex]

Using the Excel Function =NORMDIST(1.605)

[tex]P[p_1>0.5] = 1- 0.9456[/tex]

[tex]P[p_1>0.5] =0.0544[/tex]

Therefore, the required probability = 0.0544

How to determine the true statement?

The expression is given as:

4x − 2(5x − 1)

Open the bracket

4x − 2(5x − 1) = 4x − 10x + 2

Evaluate the like terms

4x − 2(5x − 1) = − 6x + 2

Suppose the amount of a popular sport drink in bottles leaving the filling machine has a normal distribution with mean 101.5 milliliters (mL) and standard deviation 1.6. If 36 bottles are randomly selected, find the probability that the mean content is less than 102.1 mL

Answers

Answer:

0.98778

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given a random number rod samples, we solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ/√n, where

x is the raw score = 102.1 mL

μ is the population mean = 101.5 milliliters (mL)

σ is the population standard deviation = 1.6.

n = 36

z = 102.1 - 101.5/1.6/√36

z = 2.25

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<102.1) = 0.98778

Hence, If 36 bottles are randomly selected, find the probability that the mean content is less than 102.1 mL is 0.98778
