Nielson Media Research wants to estimate the mean amount of time (in minutes) that full-time college students spend watching television each weekday. Find the sample size necessary to estimate that mean with a 15-minute sampling error. Assume 96% confidence level is desired. Also assume that a pilot study showed that the standard deviation is estimated to be 112.2 minutes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample size necessary is 237.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.96}{2} = 0.02[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.02 = 0.98[/tex], so Z = 2.056.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Find the sample size necessary to estimate that mean with a 15-minute sampling error.

A sample size of n is necessary.

n is found when [tex]M = 15[/tex]

We have that [tex]\sigma = 112.2[/tex]

So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]15 = 2.056\frac{112.2}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]15\sqrt{n} = 2.056*112.2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.056*112.2}{15}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.056*112.2}{15})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 236.5[/tex]

Rounding up,

The sample size necessary is 237.

the act, process, or an instance of eliminating or discharging: such as. a : the act of discharging or excreting waste products from the body.

or

Elimination is the process of getting rid of something, whether it's waste, errors, or the competition. Elimination comes from the Latin word limen, which means threshold. The Romans added an “e” to the beginning and created the verb eliminare, which means to banish or to push over the threshold and out the door.

does 5+4=8 and does 1+1=2​

Answers

Answer:

5 + 4 = 8 (False)

1 + 1 = 2 (True)

Step-by-step explanation:

First Case:

5+4=8

No this is not correct as when 5 is added to 4 then the result should be - (1+1+1+1+1) + (1+1+1+1)

= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 +1 +1

= 9

So this is not correct.

Second Case:

1 + 1 = 2

Yes this is correct when 1 and 1 are added for two times it results in 2.

We need a rock garden with a perimeter of 12 feet and an area of 8 square feet


Length: Feet
Width: Feet​

Answers

Answer:

Length: 4 feet

Width: 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The only possibilities that could get an area of 8 feet are 4 x 2 and 8 x 1

However, it has to be 4 x 2 because the 8 x 1 dimension won't have a perimeter of 12 feet.

The dimensions of 4 x 2 will have an area of 8 square feet, since 4(2) = 8

It will also have a perimeter of 12 feet because 4 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 12

So, the length is 4 feet and the width is 2 feet

Answers

Answer:

[tex]C =\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]F = 1.8C + 32[/tex]

Required

Solve for C

[tex]F = 1.8C + 32[/tex]

Subtract 32 from both sides

[tex]F-32 = 1.8C + 32-32[/tex]

[tex]F-32 = 1.8C[/tex]

Divide both sides by 1.8

[tex]\frac{1}{1.8}(F - 32) = C[/tex]

Express the decimal as fraction

[tex]\frac{1}{18/10}(F - 32) = C[/tex]

[tex]\frac{10}{18}(F - 32) = C[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) = C[/tex]

[tex]C =\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{-1}{2} \sqrt[]{4x^2+4c_{1}^2} -c_{1}\ or \ \frac{1}{2} \sqrt[]{4x^2+4c_{1}^2} -c_{1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is first order nonlinear ordinary differential equation

Let y(x) = x v(x)

2xy/(x²+y²)=2v/(v^2+1)

dy=xdv+vdx

dy/dx=d(dv/dx)+v

x(dv/dx)+v=(2v)/(v^2+1)

dv/dx=[(2v)/(v^2+1)-v]/x

[tex]\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{-(v^2-1)v}{x(v^2+1)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{v^2+1}{(v^2-1)v}dv=\frac{-1}{x}dx[/tex]

∫[tex]\frac{v^2+1}{(v^2-1)v}dv[/tex] = ∫[tex]\frac{-1}{x}dx[/tex]

u=v^2

du=2vdv

Left hand side:

∫[tex]\frac{v^2+1}{v(v^2-1)}dv[/tex]

=∫[tex]\frac{u+1}{2u(u-1)}du[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]∫[tex](\frac{2}{u-1} -\frac{1}{u} )du[/tex]

=[tex]ln(u-1)-\frac{ln(u)}{2} +c[/tex]

=[tex]ln(v^2-1)-\frac{ln(v^2)}{2}+c[/tex]

Right hand side:

[tex]=-ln(x)[/tex]

Solve for v:

[tex]v=-\frac{-c_{1}+\sqrt{c_{2}+4x^2 } }{2x} \ or \ \frac{-c_{1}+\sqrt{c_{2}+4x^2 } }{2x}\\[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{-1}{2} \sqrt[]{4x^2+4c_{1}^2} -c_{1}\ or \ \frac{1}{2} \sqrt[]{4x^2+4c_{1}^2} -c_{1}[/tex]

Juhi sells a washing machine for Rs 13500. She loses 20% in the bargain . What was the price at which she bought it

Answers

Required Answer :-

Concept :

➽ Let the cost price of the washing machine be a variable and apply the condition that the loss Juhi faced was 20% of the cost price, i.e., Rs. 13,500 is 80% of the cost price to form an equation. Solve the equation to get the answer.

Solution :

➽ The selling price of the washing machine after bargain = Rs 13, 500

➽ percentage of loss she had in the bargain = 20 %

let the price paid by juhi be x

➽ Now interpreting the statement in the question

in mathematical form we get :

[tex] \implies[/tex] loss = Rs 2 / 10 × 2

[tex] \implies[/tex] Loss = Rs 2 / 10 × x

➽ According to the simple marketing norm, if we subtract the loss from the buying price, we will be getting the selling price for which Juhi sold the washing machine.

Profit / loss = purchasing price - Selling price

Substituting the values the above equation, we get;

[tex] \implies[/tex] 2 x / 10 = x - 13500

[tex] \implies[/tex] 2 x / 10 = x - 13500 / 2

On cross-multiplication, we get;

2 x = 10 ( x - 13500 )

[tex] \implies[/tex] 2 x = 10 x - 13500

[tex] \implies[/tex] 8 x = 13500

∴ x = 13500 / 8 = 16875

∴ Hence the price that Juhi paid for buying the Washing machine was Rs. 16,875.

Additional information :

❑ Don’t get confused and take the 20% of the selling price while you solve, as you should be very clear that the percentage loss or profit are terms related to the actual pricing not to the price for which you crack the deal. The other way of thinking of this is that the selling price might vary from buyer to buyer depending on the bargain they put in, but the percentage should be defined from a fixed mark so that you can easily handle it. The reason that most products in the market have an MRP tag on it making it easier for all the sellers to handle their margins.
