If the mean of 5 positive integers is 15, what is the maximum possible difference between the largest and the smallest of these 5 numbers?​

Expectation is linear, meaning

E(a X + b Y) = E(a X) + E(b Y)

= a E(X) + b E(Y)

If X = 1 and Y = 0, we see that the expectation of a constant, E(a), is equal to the constant, a.

Use this property to compute the expectations:

E(X + 10) = E(X) + E(10) = $110

E(5Y) = 5 E(Y) = $450

E(X + Y) = E(X) + E(Y) = $190

Variance has a similar property:

V(a X + b Y) = V(a X) + V(b Y) + Cov(X, Y)

= a^2 V(X) + b^2 V(Y) + Cov(X, Y)

where "Cov" denotes covariance, defined by

E[(X - E(X))(Y - E(Y))] = E(X Y) - E(X) E(Y)

Without knowing the expectation of X Y, we can't determine the covariance and thus variance of the expression a X + b Y.

However, if X and Y are independent, then E(X Y) = E(X) E(Y), which makes the covariance vanish, so that

V(a X + b Y) = a^2 V(X) + b^2 V(Y)

and this is the assumption we have to make to find the standard deviations (which is the square root of the variance).

Also, variance is defined as

V(X) = E[(X - E(X))^2] = E(X^2) - E(X)^2

and it follows from this that, if X is a constant, say a, then

V(a) = E(a^2) - E(a)^2 = a^2 - a^2 = 0

Use this property, and the assumption of independence, to compute the variances, and hence the standard deviations:

V(X + 10) = V(X)  ==>  SD(X + 10) = SD(X) = $90

V(5Y) = 5^2 V(Y) = 25 V(Y)  ==>  SD(5Y) = 5 SD(Y) = $40

V(X + Y) = V(X) + V(Y)  ==>  SD(X + Y) = √[SD(X)^2 + SD(Y)^2] = √8164 ≈ $90.35

Answer:

CI = (70.861 , 94.418)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the 90% confidence interval you use the following formula (for a population approximately normal):

[tex]CI=(\overline{x}-Z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}},\overline{x}+Z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]    (1)

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex]: mean = 82.64

σ: standard deviation = 14.32

n: sample = 4

α: tail area = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

Z_α/2 = Z_0.05: Z factor =  1.645

You replace these values and you obtain:

[tex]Z_{0.05}(\frac{14.32}{\sqrt{4}})=(1.645)(\frac{14.32}{\sqrt{4}})=11.778[/tex]

The confidence interval will be:

[tex]CI=(82.64-11.778,82.64+11.778)=(70.861,94.418)[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval is (70.861 , 94.418)

Answer: 0.149

Step-by-step explanation:

As Scientists wondered how the snails could travel such long distances. A recent study provides the answer. Biologist Shinichiro Wada fed 174 live snails to birds and found that 26 of the snails were excreted live out the other end.

The best estimate for the proportion of all snails of this type to live after being eaten by a bird can be achieved by calculating the ratio of survival/number of eaten snails

Where the number of eaten snails = 174

The number of survivors = 26

Estimated proportion = 26/174 = 0.1494

Therefore, the best estimate for the proportion of all snails of this type to live after being eaten by a bird will be 0.149 approximately.

Answer:

0.62% probability that the mean of our sample is greater than $70.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 65, \sigma = 20, n = 100, s = \frac{20}{\sqrt{100}} = 2[/tex]

What is the probability mean of our sample is greater than $70.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 70. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{70 - 65}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062

0.62% probability that the mean of our sample is greater than $70.

Answer:

The z score when x =72 is:

[tex] z = \frac{72-58}{11}= 1.273[/tex]

The mean is 58

This z-score tells you that x= 72 is 1.273 standard deviations to the right of the mearn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following info for the question: Suppose John's words per minute on a typing test are normally distributed. Let X -the number of words per minute on a typing test. Then X N(58, 11) If necessary, round to three decimal places.

Provide your answer below rds per minute in a typing test on Sunday. The z score when x =72 is

For this case we know that the variable of interest is modelled with the normal distribution:

[tex]X \sim N (\mu= 58, \sigma=11)[/tex]

And the z score is given by:

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

And replacing we got:

[tex] z = \frac{72-58}{11}= 1.273[/tex]

The mean is 58

This z-score tells you that x= 72 is 1.273 standard deviations to the right of the mearn.

The critical value is T = 2.2622.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Florida is between 1.352 pounds and 4.248 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 10 - 1 = 9

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 9 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.2622, which is the critical value.

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.2622*0.64 = 1.448

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 2.8 - 1.448 = 1.352 pounds

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 2.8 + 1.448 = 4.248 pounds

The 95% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Florida is between 1.352 pounds and 4.248 pounds.

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete qeustion.

In a sample of seven cars, each car was tested for nitrogen-oxide emissions (in grams per mile) and the following results were obtained: 0.10 0.13 0.16 0.15 0.14 0.008 0.15

(a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean nitrogen-oxide emissions of all cars.

(b) If the EPA requires that nitrogen-oxide emissions be less than 0.165 g/mi, based on the 99% confidence interval in (a), can we safely conclude that this requirement is being met?

Answer: (a) 0.089 ≤ μ ≤ 0.171

(b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To determine the confidence interval, first calculate the mean (X) and standard deviation (s) of the sample

X = [tex]\frac{0.1+0.13+0.16+0.15+0.14+0.08+0.15}{7}[/tex]

X = 0.13

s = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(0.1-0.13)^{2} + (0.13 - 0.13)^{2} + ... + (0.15 - 0.13)^{2}}{7-1} }[/tex]

s = 0.029

The degrees of freedom is

N - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6

And since the confidence is of 99%:

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

The t-test statistics for [tex]t_{6,0.005}[/tex] is 3.707

(Value found in the t-distribution table)

Now, calculate Error:

E = [tex]t_{6,0.005}[/tex] . [tex]\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} }[/tex]

E = 3.707. [tex]\frac{0.029}{\sqrt{7} }[/tex]

E = 0.041

The interval will be:  

0.13 - 0.041 ≤ μ ≤ 0.13+0.041

0.089 ≤ μ ≤ 0.171

(b) No, because according to the interval, the nitrode-oxide emissions range from 0.089 to 0.171, which is greater than required by EPA.

Answer:

The width or range of the confidence interval with sample size 200 will be about half of that of the confidence interval with sample 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

- For the two random samples, of sizes 50 and 200, the Central limit theorem allows us to say that the sample mean is approximately equal to the population mean as this random sample satisfies the condition of being a simple random sample and a distribution obtained from a normal distribution.

- Making the right assumption that population standard deviation is known and z-distribution is used to find the critical value

Critical value for 95% = 1.96

The critical value for both samples are the same then.

- Standard Error of the mean = σₓ = (σ/√n)

where σ = population standard deviation

n = sample size

For the two distributions

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (Standard Error of the mean)

(Sample mean)₅₀ = (Sample mean)₂₀₀

(Critical value)₅₀ = (Critical value)₂₀₀

(Standard Error of the mean)₅₀ = (σ/√50) = 0.1414σ

(Standard Error of the mean)₂₀₀ = (σ/√200) = 0.0707σ

0.1414σ = 2 × 0.0707σ

(Standard Error of the mean)₅₀ = 2 × (Standard Error of the mean)₂₀₀

(Standard Error of the mean)₅₀ > (Standard Error of the mean)₂₀₀

Hence,

(Margin of Error)₅₀ > (Margin of Error)₂₀₀

(Margin of Error)₅₀ = 2 × (Margin of Error)₂₀₀

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Hence, the width or range of the confidence interval with sample size 50 will be about two times larger than the confidence interval with sample 200.

Answer:

3. 72.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call M the event that the customer is male and C the event that the customer prefer chocolate chips Scones.

So, the probability P(M∪C) that a customer chosen at random will be a male or prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones is calculated as:

P(M∪C) = P(M) + P(C) - P(M∩C)

Then, there are 145 males (317 customer - 172 females = 145 males), so the probability that the customer is a males is:

P(M) = 145/317 = 0.4574

There are 167 customers that prefer chocolate chips Scones ( 317 customers - 150 customers that prefer the Cranberry Walnut Scones = 167), so the probability that a customer prefer chocolate chips Scones is:

P(C) = 167/317 = 0.5268

Finally, 81 customers were males and prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones, so the probability that a customer will be a male and prefer chocolate  chip scones is:

P(M∩C) = 81/317 = 0.2555

Therefore,  P(M∪C) is equal to:

P(M∪C) = 0.4574 + 0.5268 - 0.2555

P(M∪C) = 0.7287

P(M∪C) = 72.9%

Answer:

3. 72.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

Male or prefers the Chocolate Chip Scones. That is, males and females who prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones.

There are 172 female customers and 317-172 = 145 male customers.

150 customers prefer the Cranberry Walnut Scones. So 317 - 150 = 167 customers prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones.

81 of those are male, so 167 - 81 = 86 are female.

So the total of desired outcomes is 86 + 145 = 231

Total outcomes:

317 total customers.

Probability:

231/317 = 0.729

So the correct answer is:

It is reasonable to believe that the mean magnesium ion concentration may be greater than 199.5 as the confidence interval obtained contains values that are greater than 199.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

Six measurements were made of the magnesium ion concentration (in parts per million, or ppm) in a city's municipal water supply, with the following results. It is reasonable to assume that the population is approximately normal.

170 201 199 202 173 153

Based on a 95% confidence interval for the mean magnesium ion concentration, is it reasonable to believe that the mean magnesium ion concentration may be greater than 199.5? (Hint: you should first calculate the 95% confidence interval for the mean magnesium ion concentration.)

A) The likelihood cannot be determined.

B) Yes

C) No

Solution

For this question, obtaining the confidence interval will give a clear solution to the problem.

Since the Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence, if the range obtained contains values greater than the standard we are comparing against (199.5), then the confidence interval proves that the mean magnesium ion may be greater than 199.5.

But to obtain the confidence interval, we need the mean and standard deviation for the sample.

170, 201, 199, 202, 173, 153

Mean = (sum of variables)/(total number of variables)

Sum of variables = 170+201+199+202+173+153 = 1098

Total number of variables = 6

Mean = (1098/6) = 183

Standard deviation = σ = √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

x = each variable

xbar = mean = 183

N = number of variables = 6

Σ(x - xbar)² = (170-183)² + (201-183)² + (199-183)² + (202-183)² + (173-183)² + (153-183)²

= 169 + 324 + 256 + 361 + 100 + 900

= 2110

σ = √(2110/6) = 18.75

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Sample Mean = 183

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

Critical value will be obtained using the t-distribution. This is because there is no information provided for the population mean and standard deviation.

To find the critical value from the t-tables, we first find the degree of freedom and the significance level.

Degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5.

Significance level for 95% confidence interval

(100% - 95%)/2 = 2.5% = 0.025

t (0.025, 5) = 2.57 (from the t-tables)

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = (σ/√n)

σ = standard deviation of the sample = 18.75

n = sample size = 6

σₓ = (18.75/√6) = 7.656

95% Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)]

CI = 183 ± (2.57 × 7.656)

CI = 183 ± 19.675

95% CI = (163.325, 202.675)

95% Confidence interval = (163.3, 202.7)

It is reasonable to believe that the mean magnesium ion concentration may be greater than 199.5 as the confidence interval obtained contains values that are greater than 199.5
