The average annual cost of the first year of owning and caring for a large dog is $1,843 (US News and World Report, September 9,

2013). The Irish Red and White Setter Association of America has requested a study to estimate the annual first-year cost for owners of this breed. A sample of 50 will be used. Based on past studies, the population standard deviation is assumed known with σ ? = $255. a. What is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval of the mean cost of the first year of owning and caring for this breed (to 2 decimals)? b. The DATAfile Setters contains data collected from fifty owners of Irish Setters on the cost of the first year of owning and caring for their dogs. Use these data sets to compute the sample mean (to 2 decimals). Using this sample, what is the 95% confidence interval for the mean cost of the first year of owning and caring for an Irish Red and White Setter (to 2 decimals)?

Answer:

a. Error is 0.14

b. between 1913.68 to 1772.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Requirement a)

The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey's results.

Given,

Size of the sample n = 50

We know, At 95% confidence interval,

The margin of error,

= 0.98/√n  

= 0.98/√50

= 0.98/7.07

= 0.13859 ~ 0.14

So the margin of error at 95% confidence level is 0.14.

Requirement b)

Given,

Standard deviation σ = 255

Population mean z = 1814

Size of the sample n = 50

We know, At 95% confidence interval,

(z-µ)/(σ/√n)  < Z_0.05

= - Z_0.05 < (z-µ)/(σ/√n) < Z_0.05

= - 1.96 * σ/√n < (z-µ)/(σ/√n)*  σ/√n  < 1.96 * σ/√n  [ in two tail Z test the value of Z_0.05 is 1.96 ]

= - 1.96 * 255/√50 < Z-µ <  1.96 * 255/√50

= -70.6828 < Z-µ < 70.6828

= 70.6828 > µ - Z > -70.6828

= 70.6828 + Z > µ > -70.6828 + Z

= 70.6828 + 1814 > µ > -70.6828 + 1814

=1913.68 > µ > 1772.32

So, the sample mean would be between 1913.68 to 1772.32.

Ket [755]

Answer: Total number of bracelet: 235

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total budget= $1,500

Spend on wire = $250

Per braclet beads = $5.30

Find:

Total number of bracelet

Computation:

Total number of bracelet = [1,500 - 250]

Total number of bracelet = [1,250/ 5.30

Total number of bracelet = 235.849

Total number of bracelet = 235 [By round minium]

Which two equations would be most appropriately solved by using the zero product property? Select each correct answer.
LekaFEV [45]
The zero product property tells us that if the product of two or more factors is zero, then each one of these factors CAN be zero.

For more context let's look at the first equation in the problem that we can apply this to: (x-3)(x+4)=0

Through zero property we know that the factor (x-3) can be equal to zero as well as (x+4). This is because, even if only one of them is zero, the product will immediately be zero.

The zero product property is best applied to factorable quadratic equations in this case.

Another factorable equation would be 2x^{2}+6x=0 since we can factor out 2x and end up with 2x(x+3)=0. Now we'll end up with two factors, 2x and (x+3), which we can apply the zero product property to.

The rest of the options are not factorable thus the zero product property won't apply to them.

Chuck has a gross pay of $815.70. By how much will Chuck’s gross pay be reduced if he has the following items withheld?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

273.38

Step-by-step explanation:

815.70 * 6.2% = 50.57

815.70 * 1.45% = 11.83

815.70 * 19% = 154.95

Add those 3 totals to the additional $56 in federal tax

56+50.57+11.83+154.95 = 273.35
