Your answer is 4:141

Hope this helped! (:

Basically you make a fraction: teachers/students. So, you get 20/705, which is the same as writing 20:705. :) you could also simplify it to be 4:141 by dividing each side by 5.

Mukat has five times as many book as usha.If mukat gave 16 books to usha,they each would have the same number.how many books did

vladimir1956 [14]

Mukat gets 40, Usha gets 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mukat = 5 × Usha

After Mukat gives Usha 16 books ,Usha gets (16 + initial number of books) and Mukat gets (5 × Usha - 16)

Then Mukat = final number of books for Usha

5 × Usha - 16 = Usha + 16

(5 × Usha ) - Usha = 16+16

4 × Usha = 32

Usha = 8 i.e her number of books.

Mukat = 5×8=40.

Repeated student samples. Of all freshman at a large college, 16% made the dean’s list in the current year. As part of a class p

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

a) p-hat (sampling distribution of sample proportions)

b) Symmetric

c) σ=0.058

d) Standard error

e) If we increase the sample size from 40 to 90 students, the standard error becomes two thirds of the previous standard error (se=0.667).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) This distribution is called the <em>sampling distribution of sample proportions</em> <em>(p-hat)</em>.

b) The shape of this distribution is expected to somewhat normal, symmetrical and centered around 16%.

This happens because the expected sample proportion is 0.16. Some samples will have a proportion over 0.16 and others below, but the most of them will be around the population mean. In other words, the sample proportions is a non-biased estimator of the population proportion.

c) The variability of this distribution, represented by the standard error, is:

$\sigma=\sqrt{p(1-p)/n}=\sqrt{0.16*0.84/40}=0.058$

d) The formal name is Standard error.

e) If we divided the variability of the distribution with sample size n=90 to the variability of the distribution with sample size n=40, we have:

$\frac{\sigma_{90}}{\sigma_{40}}=\frac{\sqrt{p(1-p)/n_{90}} }{\sqrt{p(1-p)/n_{40}}}}= \sqrt{\frac{1/n_{90}}{1/n_{40}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1/90}{1/40}}=\sqrt{0.444}= 0.667$

If we increase the sample size from 40 to 90 students, the standard error becomes two thirds of the previous standard error (se=0.667).

After calculating the sample size needed to estimate a population proportion to within 0.05, you have been told that the maximum

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: 40000

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sample size is given by :-

$n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2$ , where p is the prior estimate of the population proportion.

Here we can see that the sample size is inversely proportion withe square of margin of error.

i.e. $n\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{E^2}$

By the equation inverse variation, we have

$n_1E_1^2=n_2E_2^2$

Given : $E_1=0.05$ $n_1=1000$

$E_2=0.025$

Then, we have

$(1000)(0.05)^2=n_2(0.025)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2.5=0.000625n_2\\\\\Rightarrow\ n_2=\dfrac{2.5}{0.000625}=4000$

Hence, the sample size will now have to be 4000.

A machine is set to fill the small-size packages of m&m candies with 56 candies per bag. a sample revealed: three bags of 56

luda_lava [24]

In statistics, the amount of degrees of freedom is the quantity of values in the final computation of a statistic that are free to differ. In this case, you can get the answer by adding the number of bags and subtracting 1.

So in computation, this would look like: 3 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 7

Therefore, 7 is the degrees of freedom.
