Explanation of Solution

Machin’s formula is given as,

π4=4arctan(15)arctan(1239)

π4=4arctan(15)arctan(1239)π=3.1416

Leibniz’s formula is given as,

π=4143+4547+49411+...

The approximation till the fourth term is given as,

π=4143+4547π=2.8952

MATLAB Code:

% MATLAB code to calcualte the value of pi by different options.

Are there less children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in states that have larger urban areas over states that are mostly rural? Assume data were collected from a fairly urban state and they found 195 eight-year olds diagnosed with AGD out of 18183 eight-year olds evaluated. Assume data were then collected for a fairly rural state and they found 54 eight-year olds diagnosed with AGD out of 2179 eight-year olds evaluated. is there enough evidence to show that the proportion of children diagnosed with ASD in the fairly urban state is lower than the proportion in the fairly rural state? a.) Test at the 3% level b.) Compute a 97% confidence interval for the difference in proportions. Use the following steps for the hypothesis test. For the confidence interval you do not need to do all the steps since you did some of them already in hypothesis test. Part a.) HYPOTHESIS TEST Parameter What is the correct parameter symbol and wording for population 1? P The proportion of all…
In 1912 the luxury liner Titanic struck an iceberg and sank on its first voyage. Some passengers got off the ship in lifeboats, but many died. Here is information about who lived and who died, by gender. Men Women Total Died 680 126 806 Survived 168 317 485 Total 848 443 1291 Now look at the data set comparing gender and survival. 1. Suggest two tests you can do to see if there is a relationship. 2. For each test, clearly formulate the null and alternative hypothesis. Make sure to define any parameters you used when setting up the null and alternative hypothesis.
When there are two independent samples to compare two population means, if we don't know that the population variances are equal, then it does not matter because there are paired samples. do not assume population variances are equal. assume population variances are equal. none of these.
