An investigator wishes to estimate the mean number of flight hours of pilots who fly for regional airlines. Assuming that the standard deviation of the number of hours is 120 hours, the minimum sample size needed in order to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of hours of flight time of all such pilots, to within 50 hours, is about

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum sample size needed is 39.

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 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/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 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

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.

Assuming that the standard deviation of the number of hours is 120 hour

This means that [tex]\sigma = 120[/tex]

The minimum sample size needed in order to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of hours of flight time of all such pilots, to within 50 hours, is about?

The minimum sample size needed is n.

n is found when [tex]M = 50[/tex]

So

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

[tex]50 = 2.575\frac{120}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]50\sqrt{n} = 2.575*120[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*120}{50}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*120}{50})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 38.19[/tex]

Rounding up

The minimum sample size needed is 39.

 Consider the line segment LP with endpoint at L (-3, -5) and P (9, 7) and midpoint M.

What is the x—coordinate of N, the point that partitions segment MP in a 1 : 1 ratio?

A. 4
B. -4
C. -6
D. 6

Answers

Answer:

D. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding M:

M is the midpoint of L and P, which is given by the mean coordinates of L and P.

x for L is -3, and for P is 9. So

(-3 + 9)/2 = 6/2 = 3

Finding N:

N is the midpoint between M and P, that is, the mean between the coordinates of M and P. So

(3 + 9)/2 = 12/2 = 6

start by replacing x with 3

so your equation now would look like

f(3)= (3)^2+5(3)-9

next start by doing exponents

f(3)= 9+5(3)-9

now you can do multiplication

f(3)= 9 + 15 - 9

add everything together

Mr. Ledford is concerned about the amount of sleep the students in his district are getting. He selects a random sample of 14 seniors in his district and asks them how many hours of sleep they get on a typical school night. He then uses school records to determine the most recent grade-point average (GPA) for each student. His regression output along with a residual plot and a histogram of the residuals are given below.

Sleep (hrs) 9 8.5 9 7 7.56 7 5.5 6 8.5 6.5 8
GPA 3.8 3.3 3.5 3.6 3.4 3.3 3.2 3.2 3.2 3.4 3.6 3.1 3.4 3.7

Required:
Do these data provide convincing evidence of a linear relationship between the hours of sleep students typically get and their academic performance, as measured by their GPA?

Answers

Answer:

Hence, the data provides convincing evidence that a linear relationship exists between hours of sleep observed and academic performance as measured by GPA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Sleep (hrs) 9 8.5 9 7 7.56 7 5.5 6 8.5 6.5 8

GPA 3.8 3.3 3.5 3.6 3.4 3.3 3.2 3.2 3.2 3.4 3.6 3.1 3.4 3.7

The scatter plot shows a positive linear trend. With the correlation Coefficient depicting a R value of 0.56. The residual plot also depicts a a randomly scattered values of the residual values. Similarly, a plot of the normal values of  residuals

The data provided has a linear correlation between the hours of sleep observed and academic performance as measured by GPA.  

What is correlation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables which is a quantitative type and gives an idea about the direction of these two variables.

We have given data of the 14 seniors shown in the table.

To solve this question we will calculate the correlation coefficient 'r'

The formula for correlation coefficient :

[tex]\rm r =\frac{n\sum xy-\sum x \sum y}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2-(\sum x)^2]}[n\sum y^2-(\sum y)^2]} }[/tex]

From the table the value of n = 14

[tex]\rm \sum x = 104.5[/tex] , [tex]\rm \sum y =47.7[/tex] , [tex]\rm \sum xy =357.8[/tex] , [tex]\rm \sum x^2 =797.25[/tex] , [tex]\rm \sum y^2 =163.09[/tex]

Put all the values in the above formula we get:

[tex]\rm r =\frac{14\times357.8-104.5 \times47.7}{\sqrt{[14\times 797.25-104.5^2][14\times163.09-47.7^2]} }[/tex]

[tex]\rm r = \frac{5009.2-4984.65}{\sqrt{(241.25)(7.97)} }[/tex]

[tex]\rm r = \frac{24.55}{43.849}[/tex]

r = 0.559 ≈ 0.56

The value of the correlation coefficient is 0.56 which is between the values 0.5 to 0.7 shows that the variables are moderately correlated.

Thus, the data provided has a linear correlation between the hours of sleep observed and academic performance as measured by GPA.

Answer:

3.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the regression output :

Predictor Coef ___SE __ Coef __ T ___ P

Constant 2.6476_0.3281_ 8.07 0.000

Sleep 0.10176 0.04347 **** *****

S = 0.1804

R-Sq = 31.3%

R-Sq(adj) = 25.6%

The regression equation which models the relationship between hours of sleep a student gets and his GPA can be obtained from the regression output :

The GPA is the dependent, y variable

Hours of sleep is the independent, x variable

y = 0.10176x + 2.6476

Hence, the GPA of a student who gets 8 hours of sleep on a typical school can be computed thus ;

Hours of sleep, x = 8

y = 0.10176(8) + 2.6476

y = 0.81408 + 2.6476

y = 3.46168

Thus, predicted GPA = 3.46
