Answer:
the events of using Brand Z computers and quitting your job are independent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the event that the population used Brand Z computers and let B be the event that the population quit their jobs.
We are told that 50% of the population used Brand Z computers last year. Thus, the probability of event A is;
P(A) = 50% = 0.5
Also, we are told that 4% of the population quit their jobs last year. Thus the probability of event B is;
P(B) = 4% = 0.04
Since 2% of the population used Brand Z computers and then quit their jobs. Then the probability of the population used Brand Z computers and then quit their jobs is;
P(A ∩ B) = 2% = 0.02
From the law of independent events, if A and B are to be independent events, then;
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)
Thus;
P(A ∩ B) = 0.5 × 0.04 = 0.02
This is same value as what was given in the question, thus the events of using Brand Z computers and quitting your job are independent.
The grade appeal process at a university requires that a jury be structured by selecting individuals randomly from a pool of students and faculty. (a) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all students? (b) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all faculty? (c) What is the probability of selecting a jury of students and faculty
Correct question is ;
The grade appeal process at a university requires that a jury be structured by selecting eight individuals randomly from a pool of nine students and eleven faculty. (a) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all students? (b) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all faculty? (c) What is the probability of selecting a jury of six students and two faculty?
Answer:
A) 7.144 × 10^(-5)
B) 0.00131
C) 0.0367
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Number of students = 9
Number of faculty members = 11
A) Now, the number of ways we can select eight students from 9 =
C(9, 8) = 9!/(8! × 1!) = 9
Also, number of ways of selecting 8 individuals out of the total of 20 = C(20,8) = 20!/(8! × 12!) = 125970
Thus, probability of selecting a jury of all students = 9/125970 = 7.144 × 10^(-5)
B) P(selecting a jury of all faculty) = (number of ways to choose 8 faculty out of 11 faculty)/(Total number of ways to choose 8 individuals out of 20 individuals) = [C(11,8)]/[C(20,8)] = (11!/(8! × 3!))/125970 = 0.00131
C) P(selecting a jury of six students and two faculty) = ((number of ways to choose 6 students out of 9 students) × (number of ways to choose 2 faculty out of 11 faculty))/(Total number of ways to choose 8 individuals out of 20 individuals) = [(C(9,6) × C(11,2)]/125970
This gives;
(84 × 55)/125970 = 0.0367
Allied Corporation is trying to sell its new machines to Ajax. Allied claims that the machine will pay for itself since the time it takes to produce the product using the new machine is significantly less than the production time using the old machine. To test the claim, independent random samples were taken from both machines. You are given the following results.
New Machine Old Machine
Sample Mean 25 23
Sample Variance 27 7.56
Sample Size 45 36
As the statistical advisor to Ajax, would you recommend purchasing Allied's machine? Explain.
Answer:
z(s) is in the acceptance region. We accept H₀ we did not find a significantly difference in the performance of the two machines therefore we suggest not to buy a new machine
Step-by-step explanation:
We must evaluate the differences of the means of the two machines, to do so, we will assume a CI of 95%, and as the interest is to find out if the new machine has better performance ( machine has a bigger efficiency or the new machine produces more units per unit of time than the old one) the test will be a one tail-test (to the left).
New machine
Sample mean x₁ = 25
Sample variance s₁ = 27
Sample size n₁ = 45
Old machine
Sample mean x₂ = 23
Sample variance s₂ = 7,56
Sample size n₂ = 36
Test Hypothesis:
Null hypothesis H₀ x₂ - x₁ = d = 0
Alternative hypothesis Hₐ x₂ - x₁ < 0
CI = 90 % ⇒ α = 10 % α = 0,1 z(c) = - 1,28
To calculate z(s)
z(s) = ( x₂ - x₁ ) / √s₁² / n₁ + s₂² / n₂
s₁ = 27 ⇒ s₁² = 729
n₁ = 45 ⇒ s₁² / n₁ = 16,2
s₂ = 7,56 ⇒ s₂² = 57,15
n₂ = 36 ⇒ s₂² / n₂ = 1,5876
√s₁² / n₁ + s₂² / n₂ = √ 16,2 + 1.5876 = 4,2175
z(s) = (23 - 25 )/4,2175
z(s) = - 0,4742
Comparing z(s) and z(c)
|z(s)| < | z(c)|
z(s) is in the acceptance region. We accept H₀ we did not find a significantly difference in the performance of the two machines therefore we suggest not to buy a new machine
The very hight dispersion of values s₁ = 27 is evidence of frecuent values quite far from the mean

Step-by-step explanation:
Exterior angle BOA = 250°
Interior angle BOA = 360°- 250° = 110°
Now,
(A) BDA = interior angle BOA / 2 = 55°( Property of circles)
(B) From the figure, we observe that AOBC is a cyclic quadrilateral (i.e. sum of opposite angles is 180°).

A researcher at the University of Washington medical school believes that energy drink consumption may increase heart rate. Suppose it is known that heart rate (in beats per minute) is normally distributed with an average of 70 bpm for adults. A random sample of 25 adults was selected and it was found that their average heartbeat was 73 bpm after energy drink consumption, with a standard deviation of 7 bpm. In order to test belief at the 10% significance level, determine P-value for the test.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
mean μ = 70
sample size = 25
sample mean = 73
standard deviation = 7
level of significance = 0.10
The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:
[tex]\mathtt{H_o : \mu = 70} \\ \\ \mathtt{H_1 : \mu > 70 }[/tex]
The z score for this statistics can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{73- 70}{\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{3}{\dfrac{7}{5}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{3 \times 5}{{7}{}}[/tex]
z = 2.143
At level of significance of 0.10
degree of freedom = n -1
degree of freedom = 25 - 1
degree of freedom = 24
The p - value from the z score at level of significance of 0.10 and degree of freedom of 24 is:
P - value = 1 - (Z < 2.143)
P - value = 1 - 0.9839
P - value = 0.0161
Decision Rule: since P value is lesser than the level of significance, we reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: We conclude that energy drink consumption increases heart rate.
Consider a bag of jelly beans that has 30 red, 30 blue, and 30 green jelly beans. a) How many color combinations of 15 beans have at least 6 green beans
Answer:
680
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of red beans = 30
Number of Blue beans = 30
Number of green beans = 30
How many color combinations of 15 beans have at least 6 green beans?
Since at least 6 of the beans must be green,
Then (15 - 6) = 9
Then, the remaining 9 could be either red, blue or green.
Therefore, C(9 + (9 - 1), 3)
C(17, 3) = 17C3
nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)! r!
17C3 = 17! ÷ (17 - 3)! 3!
17C3 = 17! ÷ 14!3!
17C3 = (17 * 16 * 15) / (3 * 2)
17C3 = 4080 / 6
17C3 = 680 ways
Using the combination formula, it is found that there are 17,157,323,000,000,000 color combinations of 15 beans have at least 6 green beans.
The order in which the beans are chosen is not important, hence, the combination formula is used to solve this question.
Combination formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
Th total number of combinations of 15 beans from a set of 30 + 30 + 30 = 90 is:
[tex]C_{90,15} = \frac{90!}{15!75!} = 45795674000000000[/tex]
With less than 6 green, we have:
0 green:
[tex]C_{30,0}C_{60,15} = \frac{60!}{15!45!} = 53194089000000[/tex]
1 green:
[tex]C_{30,1}C_{60,14} = \frac{30!}{1!29!} \times \frac{60!}{14!46!} = 520376960000000[/tex]
2 green:
[tex]C_{30,2}C_{60,13} = \frac{30!}{2!28!} \times \frac{60!}{13!47!} = 2247585600000000[/tex]
3 green:
[tex]C_{30,3}C_{60,12} = \frac{30!}{3!27!} \times \frac{60!}{12!48!} = 5681396900000000[/tex]
4 green:
[tex]C_{30,4}C_{60,11} = \frac{30!}{4!26!} \times \frac{60!}{11!49!} = 9391696900000000[/tex]
5 green:
[tex]C_{30,5}C_{60,10} = \frac{30!}{5!25!} \times \frac{60!}{10!50!} = 10744101000000000[/tex]
Hence, the total for the number of combinations with less than 5 green is:
[tex]53194089000000 + 520376960000000 + 2247585600000000 + 5681396900000000 + 9391696900000000 + 10744101000000000 = 28638351000000000[/tex]
Subtracting the total amount of combinations from the number with less than 5 green, the number of combinations with at least 6 green is:
[tex]T = 45795674000000000 - 28638351000000000 = 17157323000000000[/tex]
There are 17,157,323,000,000,000 color combinations of 15 beans have at least 6 green beans.

Suppose the following data show the prices of 4 cars with similar characteristics that sold at a recent auction (in thousands of dollars): 6.6, 5, 10.7, 7.3. Calculate the standard deviation of the sample of selling prices. (please express your answer using 2 decimal places)
Answer: 2.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The prices of 4 cars with similar characteristics that sold at a recent auction (in thousands of dollars): 6.6, 5, 10.7, 7.3.
Let x: 6.6, 5, 10.7, 7.3.
n= 4
Mean : [tex]\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{6.6+5+10.7+7.3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{29.6}{4}\\\\=7.4[/tex]
Now , standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n-1}}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{\dfrac{(6.6-7.4)^2+( 5-7.4)^2+( 10.7-7.4)^2+( 7.3-7.4)^2}{4-1}}\\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.64+5.76+10.89+0.01}{3}}\\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{17.3}{3}}\approx2.40[/tex]
Hence, the standard deviation of the sample of selling prices = 2.40

Answer:
Mean: 169.4
Median: 171
Mode: 181
Step-by-step explanation:
I first sorted the numbers by value, least to greatest.
145 147 153 153 167 170 170 172 181 181 181 182 185 185
We can see that 181 occurs the most, 3 times, so it's the mode.
The median of this set will be the middle number(s).
When we take away 6 numbers from both sides we are left with 170 and 172, and the mean of these two numbers is 171. So the median is 171.
We can add all the numbers and divide by 14 to get the mean.
[tex]147+153+170+172+185+181+182+185+181+170+181+167+153+145=2372\\\\2372\div14\approx169.4[/tex]

Plug the values for the time skied by each person into the inequality to find the answer.
Lori 55
Vanessa 265
Devon 172
Celia 112
Arnold 356
Answer:
Kelvin did not skied without falling more than twice as long as anyone else in his family.
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality representing the event where Kelvin skied without falling more than twice as long as anyone else in his family is:
[tex]2f<223[/tex]
Here 223 is the time for Kelvin.
Check for Lori as follows:[tex]2f<223[/tex]
[tex]2\times 55=110<223[/tex]
Kelvin skied without falling more than twice as long as Lori.
Check for Vanessa as follows:[tex]2f<223[/tex]
[tex]2\times 265=530>223[/tex]
Kelvin skied without falling less than twice as long as Vanessa.
Check for Devon as follows:[tex]2f<223[/tex]
[tex]2\times 172=344>223[/tex]
Kelvin skied without falling less than twice as long as Devon.
Check for Celia as follows:[tex]2f<223[/tex]
[tex]2\times 112=224>223[/tex]
Kelvin skied without falling less than twice as long as Celia.
Check for Arnold as follows:[tex]2f<223[/tex]
[tex]2\times 356=712>223[/tex]
Kelvin skied without falling less than twice as long as Arnold.
Thus, Kelvin did not skied without falling more than twice as long as anyone else in his family.
Answer:
Yes, Kevin skied 2x as long as Lori.
Step-by-step explanation:
Kevin's time was 223 seconds; Lori's time was 110 seconds.
110^2 = 220 or 110 multiplied by 2 equals 220 or 110 x 2 = 220 or
110 * 2 = 220
Thus, Kevin indeed, skied twice as long as Lori.
1. The mean performance score on a physical fitness test for Division I student athletes is 947 with a population standard deviation of 205. Select a random sample of 64 of these students. Hint: we have a sample so use the standard error. What is the probability the mean of the sample is below 900
Answer:
0.033316
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the z score formula to solve for this question.
Since we are given the number of samples in the question, our z score formula is given as:
z = (x-μ)/ S.E
where x is the raw score
μ is the sample mean
S.E is the Standard error.
x is the raw score = 900
μ is the sample mean = Population mean = 947
Standard error =
This is calculated as Population standard deviation/ √No of samples
= 205/√64.
= 205/8
= 25.625
We proceed to calculate the z score
z = (x-μ)/ S.E
z = 900 - 947/25.625
= -1.83415
Using the z score table for normal distribution,
P(x≤ z) = P(z ≤ -1.83) = P(x ≤ 900)
P(x<900) = 0.033316
Therefore, the probability the mean of the sample is below 900 is 0.033316
What is the rise over run for the slope -11/9
Answer: 11 down and 9 right
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope IS rise over run where the top number of the fraction (numerator) determines the vertical distance --> positive is up, negative is down
and the bottom number of the fraction (denominator) determines the horizontal distance --> positive is right, negative is left.
Given slope = -11/9
the numerator is -11 so the "rise" is DOWN 11 units
the denominator is 9 so the "run" is RIGHT 9 units

A researcher measures daily driving distance from college and weekly cost of gas for a group of commuting college students. What kind of correlation is likely to be obtained for these two variables?
Answer:
There is a positive correlation between these two variables.
Step-by-step explanation:
Positive correlation is an association amid two variables in which both variables change in the same direction.
A positive correlation occurs when one variable declines as the other variable declines, or one variable escalates while the other escalates.
As the distance covered by the vehicle increases the amount of gas consumed also increases. Thus, the weekly cost of gas will also increase.
Thus, there is a positive correlation between these two variables.
A Markov chain has 3 possible states: A, B, and C. Every hour, it makes a transition to a different state. From state A, transitions to states B and C are equally likely. From state B, transitions to states A and C are equally likely. From state C, it always makes a transition to state A.
(a) If the initial distribution for states A, B, and C is P0 = ( 1/3 , 1/3 , 1/3 ), find the distribution of X2
(b) Find the steady state distribution by solving πP = π.

Use the model to show to help find the sum 0.34 plus 0.49
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The idea to use in solving this problem using the model, is to express the number of shaded boxes in fraction form.
Thus, the blue red shaded boxes has 34 boxes shaded out of 100 boxes. This represents [tex] \frac{34}{100} [/tex]. This will give us 0.34.
The other shaded boxes represents [tex] \frac{49}{100} = 0.49 [/tex].
Using the model, we can solve 0.34 + 0.49.
Add both fractions together.
[tex] \frac{34}{100} + \frac{49}{100} = \frac{34+49}{100} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{83}{100} = 0.83 [/tex]
The U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte uses a pump station to provide the flow of water necessary to operate the rapids. The pump station contains 7 pumps, each with a capacity to deliver 80,000 gallons per minute (gpm). The water channels and ponds in the facility contain 13 million gallons of water. If the pump station is operating 5 pumps simultaneously, assuming ideal conditions how long will it take to completely pump the volume of the system through the pump station
Answer:
t = 32,5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume to fill = 13000000 Gal
5 pumps delivering 80000 gal/min
5 * 80000 = 400000 gal/min
If we divide the total volume by the amount of water delivered for the 5 pumps, we get the required time to fill the volume, then
t = 13000000/ 400000
t = 32,5 minutes
Solve for x: 3(x + 1)= -2(x - 1) + 6.
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 1)= -2(x - 1) + 6.
Distribute
3x+3 = -2x+2+6
Combine like terms
3x+3 = -2x+8
Add 2x to each side
3x+3+2x = 8
5x+3 = 8
Subtract 3 from each side
5x =5
Divide by 5
x =1
