A graduate student conducted a study of field mice in rural Kansas. The student obtained a sample of 100 field mice and recorded the weight, in grams, of each mouse. The mean and standard deviation of the recorded weights are 35 grams and 2.4 grams, respectively. After the measurements were taken, it was discovered that the scale was not calibrated correctly. The student adjusted the 100 measurements by subtracting 3 grams from each measurement. What are the values of the mean and standard deviation of the corrected measurements

Answers

Answer 1

Subtracting 3 from all measurements, it is found that:

The mean will decrease by 3.The standard deviation will remain constant.

What are the mean and the standard deviation of a data-set?

The mean of a data-set is given by the sum of all values in the data-set, divided by the number of values.The standard deviation of a data-set is given by the square root of the sum of the differences squared between each observation and the mean, divided by the number of values.

From this, we have that:

When 3 is subtracted from all measures, the sum of all observations will be subtracted by 3 x 100 = 300, hence the mean will decrease by 3.The mean decreases by 3, as does each observation, hence the sum of the differences squared between each observation and the mean remains constant, as does the standard deviation.

The mean monthly water bill for 44 residents of the local apartment complex is $104. What is the best point estimate for the mean monthly water bill for all residents of the local apartment complex?

Answers

Answer:

$104

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the best point estimate for the mean monthly water bill is shown below:

Given that

The mean monthly water bill is $104

and, the number of residents is 44

based on the above information

The best point estimate would be equivalent to the mean monthly water bill i.e. $104

hence, the same would be considered

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to integrate:

[tex]\displaystyle \int\frac{4x^4+3}{4x^5+15x+2}\,dx[/tex]

Notice that the expression in the denominator is quite similar to the expression in the numerator. So, we can try performing u-substitution. Let u be the function in the denominator. So:

[tex]u=4x^5+15x+2[/tex]

By differentiating both sides with respect to x:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{du}{dx}=20x^4+15[/tex]

We can "multiply" both sides by dx:

[tex]du=20x^4+15\,dx[/tex]

And divide both sides by 5:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}\, du=4x^4+3\,dx[/tex]

Rewriting our original integral yields:

[tex]\displaystyle \int \frac{1}{4x^5+15x+2}(4x^4+3\, dx)[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle =\int \frac{1}{u}\Big(\frac{1}{5} \, du\Big)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle =\frac{1}{5}\int \frac{1}{u}\, du[/tex]

This is a common integral:

[tex]\displaystyle =\frac{1}{5}\ln|u|[/tex]

Back-substitute. Of course, we need the constant of integration:

[tex]\displaystyle =\frac{1}{5}\ln|4x^5+15x+2|+C[/tex]

Our answer is C.

The credit scores of 35-year-olds applying for a mortgage at Ulysses Mortgage Associates are normally distributed with a mean of 600 and a standard deviation of 125. (a) Find the credit score that defines the upper 20 percent. (Use Excel or Appendix C to calculate the z-value. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Credit score (b) Eighty-five percent of the customers will have a credit score higher than what value

Answers

Answer:

a) The credit score that defines the upper 20% is 705.

b) Eighty-five percent of the customers will have a credit score higher than 470.38.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 600 and a standard deviation of 125.

This means that [tex]\mu = 600, \sigma = 125[/tex]

(a) Find the credit score that defines the upper 20 percent.

This is the 100 - 20 = 80th percetile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.84.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]0.84 = \frac{X - 600}{125}[/tex]

[tex]X - 600 = 0.84*125[/tex]

[tex]X = 705[/tex]

The credit score that defines the upper 20% is 705.

(b) Eighty-five percent of the customers will have a credit score higher than what value?

This is the 100 - 85 = 15th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.15. So X when Z = -1.037.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.037 = \frac{X - 600}{125}[/tex]

[tex]X - 600 = -1.037*125[/tex]

[tex]X = 470.38[/tex]

Eighty-five percent of the customers will have a credit score higher than 470.38.

Circumference = [tex]2\pi[/tex]r = 2 × [tex]\pi[/tex] × 3 = 18.84956

The circle's area is 18.85 un².

If a square has an area of 25x², write an expression for the length of one side.
:)

Answers

Since all sides of a square are the same, the area of a square is one side squared.

Meaning if a square had a side of 4, the area would be 16 since 4 squared is equal to 16.

The opposite is to square root the area. If you calculate the square root of 16, you get 4.

In this situation, we have to square root "[tex]25x^{2}[/tex]." We can split the area up into "25" and [tex]x^{2}[/tex]. The square root of 25 is 5, and the square root of x squared is just x. Multiply 5 and x together, you get 5x.

Easy as that, you get your answer!

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 3)

m = [tex]\frac{-3-1}{4+4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-4}{8}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The nominal resistance of a wire is 0.15 Ohm. Random testing of the wire stock yields the following resistance data:
0.148 0.147 0.151 0.146 0.151 0.148 0.147 0.152
0.151 0.148 0.149 0.147 0.146 0.149 0.151 0.147
Does the sign test yield the conclusion, at the 5% significance level, that the median resistance is less than 0.15 Ohm?

Answers

Answer:

The median resistance of the wire is not small than 0,15 Ω at 0,05 of level of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

From data we get    x ( sample mean ) s  ( sample standard deviation) and n size of the sample

0.148 0.147 0.151 0.146 0.151 0.148 0.147 0.152

0.151 0.148 0.149 0.147 0.146 0.149 0.151 0.147

n = 16

x ≈ 0,1487

s = 0,00193

Test Hypothesis

1.-Null Hypothesis               H₀                x  =  μ₀  = 0,15

Alternative Hypothesis  Hₐ                 x < 0,15

We assume data follows normal distribution

as n = 16 we should use a t-student table

As the question is : "Is the median resistance less than 0,15 0hm " we must use  one-tail-test ( to the left)

Then:

2.-Significance level  α = 5 %      α = 0,05

degree of freedom   n = 16     df = n - 1    df = 15

From t-table we find t(c) = 1,7531      at the left is t(c) = - 1,7531

3.-t(s) = ( x - 0,15 ) / s / √n

t(s) = 0,1487 - 0,15 / 0,00193/√16

t(s) = - 0,0013 * 4 / 0,00193

t(s) = - 2,69

4.- Comparing t(s) and t(c)  

|t(s) | > |t(c)|       2,69 > 1,753

Then t(s) is in the rejection region

5.- We reject H₀  . At 95 % of confidence Interval
