Of the mathematics degrees awarded in recent years, 76% were bachelor’s degrees, 21% were master’s degrees and the remaining 3% were doctorates. Moreover, women earned 52% of bachelors, 40% of masters and 22% of doctorates. What is the probability that a randomly chosen mathematics degree was a master's degree given that it was awarded to a woman? Give your answer to 4 decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1729 = 17.29% probability that a randomly chosen mathematics degree was a master's degree given that it was awarded to a woman

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Given to a woman.

Event B: Masters degree.

21% were master’s degrees

This means that [tex]P(B) = 0.21[/tex]

Women earned 40% of masters

This means that [tex]P(A|B) = 0.4[/tex]

Probability of the degree being given to a women:

52% of 76%, 40% of 21% and 22% of 3%. So

[tex]P(A) = 0.52*0.76 + 0.4*0.21 + 0.22*0.03 = 0.4858[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly chosen mathematics degree was a master's degree given that it was awarded to a woman?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.21*0.4}{0.4858} = 0.1729[/tex]

0.1729 = 17.29% probability that a randomly chosen mathematics degree was a master's degree given that it was awarded to a woman

Mileage tests were conducted on a randomly selected sample of 100 newly developed automobile tires. The results showed that the mean tread life was 50,000 miles, with a standard deviation of 3,500 miles. What is the best estimate of the mean tread life in miles for the entire population of these tires?

Answers

Answer:

The best estimate of the mean of the population is 50,000 miles, which is the sample mean.

To make a better inference, we know that the 95% confidence interval for the mean is (49,306; 50,694).

Step-by-step explanation:

The unbiased point estimation for the population mean tread life is the sample mean (50,000 miles), as it is the only information we have.

Although, knowing the standard deviation, we can calculate a confidence interval to make a stronger inference.

We calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=50000.

The sample size is N=100.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{3500}{\sqrt{100}}=\dfrac{3500}{10}=350[/tex]

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

[tex]df=n-1=100-1=99[/tex]

The t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 99 degrees of freedom is t=1.98.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_M=1.98 \cdot 350=694.48[/tex]

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

[tex]LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 50000-694.48=49306\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 50000+694.48=50694[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is (49306, 50694).

A large car insurance company selected samples of single and married male policyholders and recorded the number who made an insurance claim over the preceding three-year period. Single Policyholders Married Policyholders n1 = 450 n2 = 925 # making claim = 67 # making claim = 93 Using alpha = 0.05, determine whether the claim rates are higher for single male policyholders verses married male policyholders. Solve using the p-value approach only.

Answers

Answer:

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that rates are higher for single male policyholders verses married male policyholders (P-value = 0.004).

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that rates are higher for single male policyholders verses married male policyholders.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2> 0[/tex]

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1 (single group), of size n1=450 has a proportion of p1=0.1489.

[tex]p_1=X_1/n_1=67/450=0.1489[/tex]

The sample 2 (married group), of size n2=925 has a proportion of p2=0.1005.

[tex]p_2=X_2/n_2=93/925=0.1005[/tex]

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.0483.

[tex]p_d=p_1-p_2=0.1489-0.1005=0.0483[/tex]

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

[tex]p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{67.005+93}{450+925}=\dfrac{160}{1375}=0.1164[/tex]

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

[tex]s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.1164*0.8836}{450}+\dfrac{0.1164*0.8836}{925}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.0002+0.0001}=\sqrt{0.0003}=0.0184[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

[tex]z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.0483-0}{0.0184}=\dfrac{0.0483}{0.0184}=2.62[/tex]

This test is a right-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

[tex]P-value=P(z>2.62)=0.004[/tex]

As the P-value (0.004) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that rates are higher for single male policyholders verses married male policyholders.

Suppose you would like to save P9000 invested at 8% compounded quarterly for 5 years and 6 months. (Note: Round off your answer to the nearest hundredth) (a) How much would the value of her savings at the end of the term? Answer (b) How much is the interest earned by your savings? Answer

Answers

Answer:

a) 13913

b) 4913.82

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

[tex]A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

In this question:

Investment of 9000, so [tex]P = 9000[/tex]

Interest rate of 8%, so [tex]r = 0.08[/tex]

Compounded quarterly, so [tex]n = 4[/tex]

5 years and 6 months, that is, 5 years and half, so [tex]t = 5.5[/tex]

(a) How much would the value of her savings at the end of the term?

[tex]A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]A(5.5) = 9000(1 + \frac{0.08}{4})^{4*5.5} = 13913.82[/tex]

(b) How much is the interest earned by your savings?

The amount subtracted by the principal. So

13913.82 - 9000 = 4913.82

2. The HCF of two numbers is 11, and their L.C.M is 368. If one number is 64, then the other
number is ….

Answers

Answer:

1) 48 years.

2) Question incorrect.

11 isn't a factor of 64, and 368 isn't a multiple of 64. 11 also isn't a factor of 368, hence, it would be impossible to find the unknown second number with all of these false information in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages of Kissi, Esinam and Lariba be x, y and z respectively.

Ratio of the ages of Kissi and Esinam is 3:5

x:y = 3:5

(x/y) = (3/5)

5x = 3y

x = (3y/5) (eqn 1)

Ratio of the ages of Esinam and Lariba is 3:5

y:z = 3:5

(y/z) = (3/5)

5y = 3z

z = (5y/3) (eqn 2)

The sum of their 3 ages is 147

x + y + z = 147 (eqn 3)

Substituting the values of x and z from eqn 1 and 2 into eqn 3, we have

(3y/5) + y + (5y/3) = 147

(49y/15) = 147

y = (147×15/49) = 45.

x = (3y/5) = (3×45/5) = 27

z = (5y/3) = (5×45/3) = 75

The ages of Kissi, Esinam and Lariba are then 27, 45 and 75 respectively.

The difference in the ages of the oldest amf the youngest is thus, 75 - 27 = 48 years.

2) This question seems to be faulty and incorrect as 11 isn't a factor of 64, and 368 isn't a multiple of 64. 11 also isn't a factor of 368, hence, it would be impossible to find the unknown second number with all of these false information in the question.

How many more students should be included in the sample to be 99% sure that the sample mean x is within 1 semester hour of the population mean  for all students at this college?

Answers

Answer:

94 more students should be included in the sample.

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].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]z = 2.575[/tex]

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.

How many students we need to sample to be 99% sure that the sample mean x is within 1 semester hour of the population mean?

We need to survey n students.

n is found when M = 1.

We have that [tex]\sigma = 4.7[/tex]

So

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

[tex]1 = 2.575*\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 2.575*4.7[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (2.575*4.7)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = 146.47[/tex]

Rounding up

147 students need to be surveyed.

How many more students should be included...?

53 have already been surveyed

147 - 53 = 94
