Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Confidence interval is written as
Sample proportion ± margin of error
Margin of error = z × √pq/n
Where
z represents the z score corresponding to the confidence level
p = sample proportion. It also means probability of success
q = probability of failure
q = 1 - p
p = x/n
Where
n represents the number of samples
x represents the number of success
From the information given,
n = 451
x = 1.5/100 × 451 = 7
p = 7/451 = 0.02
q = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98
To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α
α = 1 - 0.97 = 0.1
α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.03
This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes
1 - 0.03 = 0.97
The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 2.17. Thus, Thus, the z score for a confidence level of 97% is 2.17
Therefore, the 97% confidence interval is
0.02 ± 2.17√(0.02)(0.98)/451
= 0.02 ± 0.014
b) x represents the number of members of the 50 Plus Fitness Association who ran and died in the same eight–year period.
P represents the proportion of members of the 50 Plus Fitness Association who ran and died in the same eight–year period.
The distribution that should be used is the normal distribution
Each limit represents the derivative of some function f at some number a. State such an f and a in each case.
lim √9 + h - 3 / h
h-->0
Answer:
a = 0f(h) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{9+h} - 3}{h}[/tex]limit of the function is 1/6Step-by-step explanation:
The general form representing limit of a function is expressed as shown below;
[tex]\lim_{h \to a} f(h)[/tex] where a is the value that h will take and use in the function f(h). It can be expressed in words as limit of function f as h tends to a. Comparing the genaral form of the limit to the limit given in question [tex]\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{9+h} - 3}{h}[/tex], it can be seen that a = 0 and f(h) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{9+h} - 3}{h}[/tex]
Taking the limit of the function
[tex]\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{9+h} -3}{h}\\= \frac{\sqrt{9+0}-3 }{0}\\= \frac{0}{0}(indeterminate)[/tex]
Applying l'hopital rule
[tex]\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\frac{d}{dh} (\sqrt{9+h} - 3)} {\frac{d}{dh} (h)}\\= \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{1}{2} (9+h)^{-1/2} /1\\=\frac{1}{2} (9+0)^{-1/2}\\= \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{\sqrt{9} } \\= 1/2 * 1/3\\= 1/6[/tex]
(Bonus) A rectangular box has its edges changing length as time passes. At a par-ticular instant, the sides have lengthsa= 150 feet,b= 80 feet, andc= 50 feet.At that instant,ais increasing at 100 feet/sec,bis decreasing 20 feet/sec, andcisincreasing at 5 feet/sec. Determine if the volume of the box is increasing, decreasing,or not changing at all, at that instant.
Answer:
the volume of the box is increasing
dV = +310,000 ft^3/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a rectangular box with side a,b and c can be expressed as;
V = abc
The change in volume dV can be expressed as;
dV = d(abc)/da + d(abc)/db + d(abc)/dc
dV = bc.da + ac.db + ab.dc ......1
Given:
a= 150 feet,
b= 80 feet, and
c= 50 feet
ais increasing at 100 feet/sec,bis decreasing 20 feet/sec, andcisincreasing at 5 feet/sec
da = +100 feet/s
db = -20 feet/s
dc = +5 feet/s
Substituting the values into the equation 1;
dV = (80×50×+100) + (150×50×-20) + (150×80×+5)
dV = +400000 - 150000 + 60000 ft^3/s
dV = +310,000 ft^3/s
Since dV is positive, the volume of the box is increasing at that instant.
