A survey of U.S. adults found that 67% oppose raising the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67. You randomly select 80 U.S. adults S and ask them how they feel about raising the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67. Find the probability that the number who oppose raising the age is (a) at least 65, (b) exactly 50, and (c) more than 60, and (d) identify any unusual events. Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.477%

6.55%

5.05%

Event in question (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

p = 0.67 ; n = 80

Using Normal approximation :

Mean (m) = np = 80 * 0.67 = 53.6

Standard deviation (s) = sqrt(np(1-p)) = sqrt(80*0.67*0.33) = 4.2057

probability that the number who oppose raising the age is

(a) at least 65

65 - 0.5 = 64.5 = x

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (64.5 - 53.6) / 4.2057 = 2.592

P(Z ≥ 2. 592) = 0.004771 (Z probability calculator)

(b) exactly 50

x = 50 + 0.5 = 50.5 ; x = 50 - 0.5 = 49.5

Z = (50.5 - 53.6) / 4.2057 = - 0.737

Z = (49.5 - 53.6) / 4.2057 = - 0.974

P(Z < - 0.737) - p(Z < 0.974) (Z probability calculator)

0.23056 - 0.16503 = 0.06553

(c) more than 60, and (d) identify any unusual events

x = 60 + 0.5 = 60.5

Z = (60.5 - 53.6) / 4.2057 = 1.64

P(Z > 1.64) = 0.0505

D.) Event with probability of less than 5%, which is event in (a) with probability of 0.477%

Step-by-step explanation:

A consumer group is testing camp stoves. To test the heating capacity of a stove, they measure the time required to bring 2 quarts of water from 50 degrees to boiling.
Two competing models are under consideration. Thirty-six stoves of each model were tested and the following results were obtained.
Model 1: mean time is 11.4 and standard deviation is2.5
Model 2: mean time is 9.9 and standard deviation is 3.0
Is there any difference between the performances of these two models? {use a .05 level of significance}. Find the p-value of the sample statistic and do a significance test.
Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference of the means.

Answers

Answer:

a

The decision rule  is  

Reject the null hypothesis

  The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to show that there is a difference between the performances of these two models

b

The  95% confidence interval is  [tex] 0.224   <  \mu_1 - \mu_2  < 2.776  [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n  =  36

    The first sample mean is  [tex]\= x_1 = 11.4[/tex]

    The first standard deviation is  [tex]s_1 = 2.5[/tex]

    The second sample mean is   [tex]\= x_2 = 9.9[/tex]

     The second standard deviation is  [tex]s_2 = 3.0[/tex]

      The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      [tex]z = \frac{ (\= x_1 - \= x_2 ) - (\mu_1 - \mu_2 ) }{ \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2 }{n} + \frac{s_2^2 }{ n} } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]z = \frac{ ( 11.4 - 9.9) - 0 }{ \sqrt{ \frac{2.5^2 }{36} + \frac{ 3^2 }{36 } } }[/tex]

=>     [tex]z = 2.3[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  2.3 is  

       [tex]P( Z > 2.3 ) = 0.010724[/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

      [tex]p-value = 2 * P( Z > 2.3 )[/tex]

=>    [tex]p-value = 2 * 0.010724[/tex]

=>    [tex]p-value = 0.02[/tex]

From the value obtained we see that  [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] hence  

The decision rule  is  

Reject the null hypothesis

  The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to show that there is a difference between the performances of these two models

Considering question b

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  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

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

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2 }{n } + \frac{s_2^2}{n}} [/tex]

 => [tex]E = 1.96  *    \sqrt{ \frac{2.5^2 }{ 36 } + \frac{ 3^2}{36}}  [/tex]

  => [tex]E = 1.276   [/tex]

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]( \= x_1 - \= x_2) -E <  \mu_1 - \mu_2  < ( \= x_1 - \= x_2) + E [/tex]

=>  [tex]( 11.4 - 9.9 ) -1.276  <  \mu_1 - \mu_2 < ( 11.4 - 9.9 ) + 1.276   [/tex]

=>  [tex] 0.224   <  \mu_1 - \mu_2  < 2.776  [/tex]

How many weeks will Caitlyn need to save to reach her goal of $524?

Answers

Answer:

27.88 can be rounded to whatever the question wants you to, coz it needs to be a whole no.---> so I would say 28 weeks, but it depends on what the question asks

Step-by-step explanation:

18w+38= should equal to $540

rephrasing this in a mathematical way would be-

18w+38=$540

18w=$540-38

18w=502

w=502/18

w=27.88

Answer:

The answer is 27. 88 but if this is like a test and not a open end question than the answer is 27 ;)

Using point-slope form, write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1/2,1/2) and has a slope of -1

Answers

Answer:

y - 1/2 = -(x + 1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use point slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line

Plug in the point given and the slope:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1/2 = -(x + 1/2)

So, the equation is y - 1/2 = -(x + 1/2)

Rise= ?
Run= ?
Slope= ?

Answers

Answer:

Rise = 0

Run = 4

Slope = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of straight line = [tex]\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}[/tex]

Since, given line is passing through two points (-2, -3) and (2, -3),

Rise of the line = -3 - (-3) = 0

Run of the given line = 2 - (-2) = 4

By substituting these values of rise and run in the formula,

Slope = [tex]\frac{0}{4}[/tex]

          = 0

Therefore, Rise = 0

                  Run = 4

                 Slope = 0

Note:  Slope of a line parallel to the x-axis is zero.

           Slope of a line parallel to y-axis is not defined.
