An article in Engineering Horizons (Spring 1990, p. 26) reported that 117 of 484 new engineering graduates were planning to continue studying for an advanced degree . Consider this as a random sample of the 1990 graduating class.
(A) Find a 90% confidence interval on the proportion of such graduates planning to continue their education.
(B) Find a 95% confidence interval on the proportion of such graduates planning to continue their education.
(C) Compare your answers to parts (a) and (b) and explain why they are the same or different.
(D) Could you use either of these confidence intervals to determine whether the proportion is actually 0.25? Explain your answer. Hint: Use the normal approximation to the binomial.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The 90% confidence interval on the proportion of such graduates planning to continue their education is (0.2097, 0.2737).

b) The 95% confidence interval on the proportion of such graduates planning to continue their education is (0.2036, 0.2798).

c) Due to higher value of z, a 95% confidence interval, as in part b, is wider than a 90% confidence interval, found in part a, and is the difference between these two intervals.

d) Yes, because 0.25 is inside both intervals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

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

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

117 of 484 new engineering graduates were planning to continue studying for an advanced degree.

This means that [tex]n = 484, \pi = \frac{117}{484} = 0.2417[/tex]

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2417 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2417*0.7583}{484}} = 0.2097[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2417 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2417*0.7583}{484}} = 0.2737[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval on the proportion of such graduates planning to continue their education is (0.2097, 0.2737).

Question b:

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2417 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2417*0.7583}{484}} = 0.2036[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2417 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2417*0.7583}{484}} = 0.2798[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval on the proportion of such graduates planning to continue their education is (0.2036, 0.2798).

(C) Compare your answers to parts (a) and (b) and explain why they are the same or different.

The margin of error of a confidence interval of proportions is:

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

This means that, due to higher value of z, a 95% confidence interval, as in part b, is wider than a 90% confidence interval, found in part a, and is the difference between these two intervals.

(D) Could you use either of these confidence intervals to determine whether the proportion is actually 0.25? Explain your answer. Hint: Use the normal approximation to the binomial.

Yes, because 0.25 is inside both intervals.

which of the following is not a function? ANSWER FAST PLEASE!!!

Answers

Answer:

D. cannot be an f(x)=y function.

Step-by-step explanation:

An f(x) = y function has to have a specific property - there can be only one value for the same x - and the value has to be the same every time.

D. gives us all xs equal to 9, but with different ys - hence it cannot be an f(x) = y function (it could be an f(y) = x function though, but I assume that's not "allowed" under the problem statement).

B has two equal xs, but both times y=0, so it doesn't make it an invalid function.

during a particular period a university's information technology office received 20 service orders for problems with printers, of which 8 were laser printers and the rest are inkjet printers a sample of 5 of these service orders is to be selected for inclusion in a customer satisfaction survey what is the probability that 3 were laser printers

Answers

Answer:

0.2384 = 23.84% probability that 3 were laser printers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The printers will be chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

20 orders means that [tex]N = 8[/tex]

8 were laser printers, which means that [tex]k = 8[/tex]

Sample of 5 means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

What is the probability that 3 were laser printers?

This is P(X = 3).

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = h(3,20,5,8) = \frac{C_{8,3}*C_{12,2}}{C_{20,5}} = 0.2384[/tex]

0.2384 = 23.84% probability that 3 were laser printers.
