You are planning a survey of starting salaries for recent computer science majors. In the latest survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average starting salary was reported to be $60,038. 5 If you assume that the standard deviation is $4300, what sample size do you need to have a margin of error equal to $500 with 95% confidence
Answer:
A sample size of 285 is needed.
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 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/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 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.
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.
Standard deviation is $4300
This means that [tex]\sigma = 4300[/tex]
What sample size do you need to have a margin of error equal to $500 with 95% confidence?
A sample size of n is needed. n is found when M = 500. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]500 = 1.96\frac{4300}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]500\sqrt{n} = 1.96*4300[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*4300}{500}[/tex]
[tex]n = 284.1[/tex]
Rounding up
A sample size of 285 is needed.

please solve the equation
Answer:
r = 47
Step-by-step explanation:
r - 38 = 9
r- 38 + 38 = 9 + 38
simplify
r = 47
Answer:
[tex]r=47[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]r-38=9[/tex]
Add 38 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]r-38+38=9+38\\r=47[/tex]

The mean midday temperature recorded in June in a city in South California is 36ºC, and the standard deviation is 3ºC. The number of days in the month of June is 30.
Assuming the data is normally distributed, the number of days in June when the midday temperature was between 39ºC and 42ºC is .
Answer:
About 4 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert 39 and 42 degrees C to a z score and then use the z-table
The number of days in June when the midday temperature was between 39°C and 42°C is equal to 4.0 days.
Given the following data:
Mean midday temperature = 36°C.
Standard deviation = 3°C.
How to determine the number of days in June?In order to determine the number of days in June when the midday temperature was between 39°C and 42°C, we would determine the z-score as follows:
Let the midday temperature be M.
P(39 < M < 42) = 1 - [P(M < 39) + P(M < 42)]
Evaluating, we have:
P(M < 39) = P(Z < [39 -36/3])
P(M < 39) = P(Z < [3/3])
P(M < 39) = P(Z < 1).
P(M < 39) = 0.84134.
P(M < 42) = P(Z < [42 -36/3])
P(M < 42) = P(Z < [6/3])
P(M < 42) = P(Z < 2)
P(M < 42) = 0.02275.
Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;
P(39 < M < 42) = 1 - [P(M < 39) + P(M < 42)]
P(39 < M < 42) = 1 - [0.84134 + 0.02275]
P(39 < M < 42) = 1 - 0.86409
P(39 < M < 42) = 0.13591.
Now, we can determine the number of days in June when the midday temperature was between 39°C and 42°C:
No. of days = 0.13591 × 30
No. of days = 4.0 days.
Note: There are 30 days in the month of June.

Answer:
1. 18.85in
4. 25.13m
Step-by-step explanation:
I got you
So to find the circumference of any circle we use the equation 2pi(r)
2(3.1415)(3)= 18.85in for the first one because radius is half of the diameter which is 6 so half of 6 is 3
For 4. 4m is actually the radius so just plug that into the equation 2pi(4)=25.13m

An operation manager at an electronics company wants to test their amplifiers. The design engineer claims they have a mean output of 429 watts with a standard deviation of 10 watts. What is the probability that the mean amplifier output would be greater than 432.1 watts in a sample of 76 amplifiers if the claim is true
Answer:
0.0035 = 0.35% probability that the mean amplifier output would be greater than 432.1 watts.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, 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.
Mean output of 429 watts with a standard deviation of 10 watts.
This means that [tex]\mu = 429, \sigma = 10[/tex]
Sample of 76:
This means that [tex]n = 76, s = \frac{10}{\sqrt{76}} = 1.147[/tex]
What is the probability that the mean amplifier output would be greater than 432.1 watts?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 432.1. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{432.1 - 429}{1.147}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.7[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.7[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9965
1 - 0.9965 = 0.0035
0.0035 = 0.35% probability that the mean amplifier output would be greater than 432.1 watts.
