A high school student took two college entrance exams, scoring 1070 on the SAT and 25 on the ACT. Suppose that SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155 while the ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. Assuming the performance on both tests follows a normal distribution, determine which test the student did better on.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Determine which test the student did better on.

He did better on whichever test he had the higher z-score.

SAT:

Scored 1070, so [tex]X = 1070[/tex]

SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155. This means that [tex]\mu = 950, \sigma = 155[/tex].

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{1070 - 950}{155}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.77[/tex]

ACT:

Scored 25, so [tex]X = 25[/tex]

ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. This means that [tex]\mu = 22, \sigma = 4[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{25 - 22}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.75[/tex]

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

Wisconsin Public Radio wants to duplicate a survey conducted in 2011 that found that 68% of adults living in Wisconsin felt that the country was going in the wrong direction. How many people would need to be surveyed for a 90% confidence interval to ensure the margin of error would be less than 3%? Be sure to show all your work and round appropriately

Answers

Answer:

655 people would need to be surveyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

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].

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\pi = 0.68[/tex]

The margin of error is:

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

How many people would need to be surveyed for a 90% confidence interval to ensure the margin of error would be less than 3%?

We need to survey n adults.

n is found when M = 0.03. So

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

[tex]0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.68*0.32}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.68*0.32}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.68*0.32}}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.68*0.32}}{0.03})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = 654.3[/tex]

Rounding up

655 people would need to be surveyed.

Answers

Answer:

All real numbers greater than or equal to -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First look at graph where the line points to which direction of the graph

And look for any closed or open circles in the graph

Since in the graph has a close circle at (-3,-2) meaning it includes that x-value for its domain.

With the graph going to positive infinity it states that the domain is all real numbers.

So in conclusion it has a domain of all real numbers greater than or equal to -3

Vertical Line Test

ApplicationStep 1: Define

Let's see what we are given.

We are given a graph of an inverse of a function.

Step 2: Identify

We need to figure out whether the graphed inverse function is a function or not.

By the definition of a function, we know that every x input must correlate with one y output. In layman's terms, each respective x input has its own specific y output.

This definition builds the foundation of the Vertical Line Test. We can use this simple "tool" to verify whether or not a given graph is a function or not.

By placing a vertical line "on" the graph, we can move it to determine whether an x input has only one y output.If a graph passes the Vertical Line Test, it is said to be a function.If a graph fails the Vertical Line Test, it is said to not be a function, but rather a relation, etc.

Step 3: Test

When we apply the Vertical Line Test to the graphed inverse function, we can see that every x input has only one specific y output.

∴ we can conclude that the graphed inverse function is indeed a function.

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to y = 2/3x+1that passes through the point (12, -6)?

Answers

Answer:[tex]y=-\frac{3}{2} x+12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have inversely proportional slopes. So make the slope negative and switch it to its reciprocal.

2/3x would change into -3/2x

Lets write that down for a starting point for our perpendicular line.

y = -3/2x + b

We were given the x and y value via the coords. x = 12 and y = -6

Now we have -6 = -3/2(12) + b. Multiply -3 and 12 to get -36, then divide by 2 to get -18.  Now it's -6 = -18 + b. Solve for b by adding 18 to both sides to get b = 12

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question; we are given the following inclusive frequency distribution information

Class                Frequency f

1.1-1.5                           18

1.6-2.0                         27

2.1-2.5                         31

2.6-3.0                        40

3.1-3.5                         56

3.6-4.0                        55

4.1-4.5                          23

Convert the above inclusive frequency distribution to exclusive frequency distribution with respect of the upper and lower class limit ; we have:

Class                             Frequency f

1.05 - 1.55                             18

1.55 - 2.05                           27

2.05 - 2.55                          31

2.55 - 3.05                          40

3.05 - 3.55                          56

3.55 - 4.05                          55

4.05 - 4.55                          23

Class                             Frequency f                     cf

1.05 - 1.55                             18                              18            

1.55 - 2.05                           27                               45

2.05 - 2.55                          31                               76

2.55 - 3.05                          40                               116

3.05 - 3.55                          56                               172

3.55 - 4.05                          55                               227

4.05 - 4.55                          23                               250

                                       n = 250

To determine the daily sales; we can derive that from estimated Mode by using the relation :

Estimated Mode = L + fm − fm-1(fm − fm-1) + (fm − fm+1) × w

here:

L  = the lower class boundary of the modal group

fm-1 =  the frequency of the group before the modal group

fm = the frequency of the modal group

fm+1 = the frequency of the group after the modal group

w  = the group width

However;

It is easier now to determine  the modal group (i.e the group with the highest frequency), which is 3.05 -3.55

L = 3.05

fm-1 =40

fm =56

fm+1 = 55

w = 0.5

∴[tex]mode = 3.05 + \dfrac{56 - 40 }{(56 - 40) + (56 -55)} * 0.5 \\ \\ mode = 3.05 + 0.4705 \\ \\ mode = 3.5205[/tex]

To find Median Class ; we use the formula;

Median Class = value of (n / 2)th observation

Median Class  = value of (250 / 2)th observation  

Median Class = value of 125th observation

From the column of cumulative frequency cf,

we will see that the 125th observation lies in the class 3.05-3.55.

∴ The median class is 3.05-3.55.

Thus;,  

L=lower boundary point of median class =3.05

n=Total frequency =250

cf=Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class =116

f=Frequency of the median class =56

c=class length of median class =0.5

[tex]Median M=L+n2-cff- c \\ \\ =3.05+125-11656⋅0.5 \\ \\=3.05+0.08036 \\ \\ =3.13036[/tex]

A bank wants to attract new customers for its credit card. The bank tries two different approaches in the marketing campaign. The first promises a cash back reward; the second promises low interest rates. A sample of 500 people is called the first brochure; of these, 100 get the credit card. A separate sample of 500 people is called the second brochure; 125 get the credit card. The bank wants to know if the two campaigns are equally attractive to customers. What is a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the two proportions

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for the difference in the two proportions is written as

Difference in sample proportions ± margin of error

Sample proportion, p= x/n

Where x = number of success

n = number of samples

For the first brochure,

x = 100

n1 = 500

p1 = 100/500 = 0.2

For the second brochure

x = 125

n2 = 500

p2 = 125/500 = 0.25

Margin of error = z√[p1(1 - p1)/n1 + p2(1 - p2)/n2]

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.025 = 0.975

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 1.96. Thus, the z score for confidence level of 95% is 1.96

Margin of error = 1.96 × √[0.2(1 - 0.2)/500 + 0.25(1 - 0.25)/500]

= 1.96 × √0.000695

= 0.052

Confidence interval = (0.2 - 0.25) ± 0.052

= - 0.05 ± 0.052
