A state forest service is conducting a study of the people who use state-operated camping facilities. The state has two camping areas, one located in the mountains and one located along the coast. The forest service wishes to estimate the average number of people per campsite during a popular weekend when all sites are expected to be used. There are 50 campsites in the mountains and 100 along the coast. From experience, the forest service knows that most sites in the mountains contain from 1-6 people and most sites along the coast contain from 1-10 people. Suppose the forest service can afford to conduct 20 interviews (e.g. they can select 20 campsites) (because they are asking many other questions in addition to number of people using the campsite and they want to do the interviews in person).
Using Neyman allocation, how would you suggest they allocate the 20 interviews among these 2 strata to minimize the standard error of the estimate of the overall average number of people per campsite?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Allocation: 4 samples should be from the mountain and 16 from along the coast.

Step-by-step explanation:

Neyman allocation is technique of sample allocation used in cases of stratified sampling.

The formula to compute the best sample size of each stratum is:

[tex]n_{h}=n\times \frac{(N_{h}\times SD_{h})}{\sum\limits^{k}_{i=1}(N_{i}\times SD_{i})}[/tex]

The information provided is:

[tex]N_{m}=50\\N_{c}=100\\n=20\\[/tex]

Compute the range for the number of people at the mountain campsite as follows:

[tex]R_{m}=6-1=5[/tex]

Then the standard deviation for the number of people at the mountain campsite will be:

[tex]SD_{m}=\frac{R_{m}}{4}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Compute the range for the number of people along the coast campsite as follows:

[tex]R_{c}=10-1=9[/tex]

Then the standard deviation for the number of people along the coast campsite will be:

[tex]SD_{c}=\frac{R_{c}}{4}=\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

Compute the sample size for the mountain campsite as follows:

[tex]n_{m}=n\times \frac{(N_{m}\times SD_{m})}{(N_{m}\times SD_{m})+(N_{c}\times SD_{c})}[/tex]

    [tex]=20\times \frac{(50\times (5/4))}{(50\times (5/4))+(100\times (9/4))}\\\\=20\times 0.2174\\\\=4.348\\\\\approx 4[/tex]

Compute the sample size for along the coast campsite as follows:

[tex]n_{c}=n-n_{m}=20-4=16[/tex]

Thus, 4 samples should be from the mountain and 16 from along the coast.

equivalent fractions for 2 1/5 and 1 5/6 with common denominator 30

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{66}{30} and \frac{55}{30}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let's get the fractions out of mixed form.

2 1/5 = 11/5

(To do this, multiply 2 times 5 and add to the 1.)

1 5/6 = 11/6

(To do this, multiply 1 times 6 and add to the 5.)

Next, let's get the common denominator. When making a common denominator, keep in mind you must multiply/divide both the numerator and denominator.

[tex]\frac{11}{5} * \frac{6}{6} = \frac{66}{30}[/tex]

and

[tex]\frac{11}{6} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{55}{30}[/tex]

Solve by substitution: y = 3x + 4 and y = -2x – 1.

Answer:

x = -1

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x+4

y = -2x-1

-2x-1 = 3x+4

-5x - 1 = 4

-5x = 5

x = -1

Substitute this x value into 1 of the equations given in the problem:

y = 3(-1)+4

y = -3+4

y = 1

what is the best estimate of 45 percent of 76

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

In order of improvement:

383434.2 (actual value)

Step-by-step explanation:

In my engineering experience, a method of estimating should satisfy two requirements:

it should be relatively easy to accomplish mentallyit should provide a means of estimating the error in the estimate

__

Multiplication and division by 2 are generally easy to perform mentally.

We note that 45% is about 50%.

  50% of 76 is 76/2 = 38 . . . a good starting estimate

45% is down 5% from 50%, so the actual value will be 5/50 = 10% lower than this first estimate

A good second estimate is 38 -0.10(40) = 34.

A better estimate is 38 -3.8 = 34.2, which is the actual value of the expression.

_____

Alternate approach

You could also transform the problem to 76% of 45, which is about 3/4 of 44, or about 33. Figuring the error adjustment on this approach is somewhat more difficult, as it is factors of 1/75 and 1/44 too low. 1 part in 44 is not too difficult to figure, as it is 33/44 = 3/4, so a better estimate is 33.75. It takes a calculator to figure 1 part in 75 of this, which is 0.45. Adding that amount gets you to the actual value of 34.2.

Answers

Answer:

a number  x  divided by four, minus seventeen

or

seventeen less than a quarter of a number  x

or

a quarter of  x  take away seventeen

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a variable in the expression so we can just say "a number x". We are dividing that unknown number by four, so we can say x divided by four, or since dividing by four is multiplying by one fourth, we can say one fourth of x  or a quarter of x  (especially since 'of' in math means multiplication).  Then we have to subtract seventeen. We could leave it as minus seventeen at the end, or we could say seventeen less than a fourth of x or take away seventeen. As can be seen, there are numerous ways to go about 'verbalizing' the expression, or any expression for that matter. Think creatively!

3x+6=4x+7

-3x    -3x

6=x+7

All we need to do now is subtract 7 on both sides.

6=x+7

-7    -7

-1=x  or  x=-1  (they both mean the same thing!)

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{a_n}{b_n} = 6[/tex]

Based on the limit comparison test, the series is convergent

========================================================

Explanation:

As n gets really large, the terms [tex]3^n[/tex] and [tex]3^n-2[/tex] are effectively the same. Taking the limit to infinity of the ratio leads to 1.

In other words,

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{3^n}{3^n-2} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{3^n}{3^n} = 1[/tex]

That -2 doesn't really play a role when n gets very large.

This result is then multiplied by the 6 in the [tex]a_n[/tex] sequence, getting 6 as the final limit we want.

So,

[tex]L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(a_n \div b_n\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6}{3^n-2} \div \frac{1}{3^n}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6}{3^n-2} \times \frac{3^n}{1}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{6*3^n}{3^n-2}\right)\\\\\\[/tex]

[tex]L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{3^n}{3^n-2}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{3^n}{3^n}\right)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*\lim_{n \to \infty} (1)\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6*1\\\\\\L = \displaystyle 6\\\\\\[/tex]

Since the limiting value is positive and not infinity, this means that both series [tex]\sum a_n[/tex] and [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] converge or they both diverge.

----------------------------

If we plug n = 2 into the [tex]b_n[/tex] sequence, we get

[tex]b_n = \frac{1}{3^n}\\\\b_2 = \frac{1}{3^2}\\\\b_2 = \frac{1}{9}[/tex]

The first term is a = 1/9

If we plugged n = 3, we would get [tex]b_3 = \frac{1}{27}[/tex]

This shows that the common ratio is r = 1/3

Because -1 < r < 1 is true, we know that the infinite geometric series converges. Therefore, [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] converges. We don't need to find the converging value.

Going back to the limit comparison test, we stated that both [tex]\sum a_n[/tex] and [tex]\sum b_n[/tex] either diverge together or converge together.

We've shown that the b series converges, so the 'a' series must converge as well.

A migrating bird flies 688 miles in 16 hours. How many miles does it fly in 5 ​hours?

Answers

Answer:

In 5 hours, the migrating bird will frly 215 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bird flys 688 miles in 16 hours we need to find the unit rate. So i divided 16 by the 16 hours which gave me 1, so i also divided 688 by 16 and i got 43. So the bird flys 43 miles in a hour. We are not done yet because we need to find how many miles in 5 hours. So we multiply the 43 miles by 5 and got 215, and i also multiplied the 1 hour bye 5 and got 5. Last but not least, the migrating bird will fly 215 miles in 5 hours. I hope that this will help you out.
