Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Reject H.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we need to test whether the average student spent less than the recommended amount of time doing homework in statistics.

The provided data is:

S = {20, 29, 28, 22, 26, 22, 22, 18, 23, 21, 20, 27}

Compute the sample mean:

[tex]\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum X=\frac{1}{12}\cdot [20+29+...+27]=23.167[/tex]

The population standard deviation is σ = 7.

The hypothesis for the test is:

H₀: The average student does not spent less than the recommended amount of time doing homework, i.e. μ ≥ 24.

Hₐ: The average student spent less than the recommended amount of time doing homework, i.e. μ < 24.

(A)

Compute the standardized test statistic value as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

  [tex]=\frac{23.167-24}{7/\sqrt{12}}\\\\=-0.412[/tex]

Thus, the standardized test statistic value is -0.412.

(B)

The significance level of the test is:

α = 0.07

The critical value of z is:

z₀.₀₇ = -1.476

The rejection region is:

(-∞, -0.1476)

(C)

Compute the p-value as follows:

[tex]p-value=P(Z<-0.412)=0.34[/tex]

*Use a z-table.

Thus, the p-value is 0.34.

(D)

Since, p-value = 0.34 > α = 0.07, the null hypothesis was failed to be rejected at 7% level of significance.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

b

 [tex]15.505 < \mu < 21.495[/tex]

c

 [tex]14.93 < \mu < 22.069[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are are told that

    The  sample data is  21, 14, 13, 24, 17, 22, 25, 12

     The sample size is  n  = 8

Generally the ample mean is evaluated as

        [tex]\= x = \frac{\sum x }{n}[/tex]

        [tex]\= x = \frac{ 21 + 14 + 13 + 24 + 17 + 22+ 25 + 12 }{8}[/tex]

         [tex]\= x = 18.5[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x- \=x )^2}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum ((21 - 18.5)^2 + (14-18.5)^2+ (13-18.5)^2+ (24-18.5)^2+ (17-18.5)^2+ (22-18.5)^2+ (25-18.5)^2+ (12 -18.5)^2 )}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 5.15[/tex]

considering part b

Given that the confidence level is  90% then the significance level is evaluated as

         [tex]\alpha = 100-90[/tex]

         [tex]\alpha = 10\%[/tex]

         [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex]  from the normal distribution table the value is  

     [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]

The margin of error is mathematically represented as

      [tex]E = Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]E =1.645 * \frac{5.15 }{\sqrt{8} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]E = 2.995[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval is evaluated as

       [tex]\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]18.5 - 2.995 < \mu < 18.5 + 2.995[/tex]

       [tex]15.505 < \mu < 21.495[/tex]

considering part c

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the significance level is evaluated as

         [tex]\alpha = 100-95[/tex]

         [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]

         [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex]  from the normal distribution table the value is  

     [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

The margin of error is mathematically represented as

      [tex]E = Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]E =1.96 * \frac{5.15 }{\sqrt{8} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]E = 3.569[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval is evaluated as

       [tex]\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]18.5 - 3.569 < \mu < 18.5 + 3.569[/tex]

Techwiz electronics makes a profit of $35 for each mp3 and $18 for each DVD last week techwiz sold a combined total of 118 mp3 and DVD players. Let x be the number of mp3 sold last week write an expression for the combined total profit (in dollars) made last week

Answers

Answer:

The total   profit is [tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The profit made on each mp3 is  k  =  $35

    The profit made on each mp3 is  y =  $18

     The total amount sold is   n  =  118

 Now given that the amount of mp3 sold is x then the amount of  DVD sold is mathematically evaluated as

                      [tex]n - x[/tex]

Now the profit made on the x number of mp3 sold is  

                      [tex]x * 35 = 3x[/tex]

And the the profit made from the n-x number of  DVD  sold is  18 (n-x ) =  18 - 18x

 So the total profit made last week from the sales of both mp3 and DVD  is  

                   [tex]p = 35x + 18n - 18x[/tex]

                    [tex]p = 17x + 18(118)[/tex]

                    [tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]

Answer:

m∠AOD = 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram attached,

OA⊥OC and OB⊥OD

m∠AOD = 3.5(m∠BOC)

Since, m∠BOD = 90°  [Given: OA⊥OC]

m∠BOC + m∠COD = 90° ---------(1)

Similarly, m∠AOC = 90° [Given : OA⊥OC]

m∠AOB + m∠BOC = 90° --------(2)

Equation (1) - Equation(2)

(m∠BOC + m∠COD) - (m∠AOB + m∠BOC) = 90°- 90°

m∠COD = m∠AOB

m∠AOB + m∠BOC + m∠COD = m∠AOD --------(3)

m∠AOB + m∠BOC + m∠AOB = 3.5(m∠BOC) [Since m∠COD = m∠AOB]

2m∠AOB = 3.5(m∠BOC) - m∠BOC

2m∠AOB = 2.5(m∠BOC)

m∠AOB = 1.25(m∠BOC)

From equation (2),

m∠AOB + m∠BOC = 90°

1.25(m∠BOC) + m∠BOC = 90°

2.25(m∠BOC) = 90°

m∠BOC = 40°

From equation (1),

m∠BOC + m∠COD = 90°

m∠COD + 40° = 90°

m∠COD = 50°

Now by putting these values in equation (3)

m∠AOB + m∠BOC + m∠COD = m∠AOD

m∠COD + m∠BOC + m∠COD = m∠AOD

50° + 40° + 50°= m∠AOD

m∠AOD = 140°

A. Are the events e e and f f independent?
B. Find the probability of showing heads on both toss.

Answers

Answer:

The events are independent.

The probability of showing heads on both toss is equal to 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space for this experiment consists of 2⁴= 16 sample points, as each toss can result in two outcomes we assume that the events are equally likely.

Two events are independent in the sample space if the probability of one event occurs, is not affected by whether the other event has or has not occurred.

In general the k events are defined to be mutually independent if and only if the probability of the intersection of  any 2,3,--------, k  equals the product of their respective probabilities.

P (A∩B) = P(A). P(B)

P (A∩B)   = 1/2. 1/2= 1/4

                                                                  Head          Tail

 P(E1)= 1/2  ----------          Coin 1               H,H              T,H

                                                                1/4                  1/4

  P(E2)= 1/2  ---------------  Coin 2             H, H               H,T

                                                                      1/4           1/4

So the events are independent.

The probability of showing heads on both toss is equal to 1/2

The sample space for this experiment consists of 2⁴= 16 sample points, out of which eight will have heads on both toss.

Or in other words ( 1/4* 1/4) = 2/4 = 1/2

so we know that the equation of the line using point (-8,6) and slope 15             y - 6 = 15( x + 8)

y - 6 = 15x + 120

Writing the equation in the form   Ax + By = C

Answer:

A) C = 1/96

B) P(x<=1, y<=1) = 1/128 or 0.0078125 to 7 places

C) P(x+y<=1) = 5/2305, or 0.0021701 to 7 places

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x,y) = C x (1+y)

A)

To find C, we need to integrate the volume under region bound by

0 <= x <= 4, and

0 <= y <= 4

This volume equals 1.0.

Find integral,

int( int(f(x,y),x=0,4), y = 0,4) = 96C

therefore C = 1/96

or

F(x,y) = x (1+y) / 96  ............................(1)

B)

P(x<=1, y<=1)

Repeat the integral, substitute the appropriate limits,

P = int( int(F(x,y),x=0,1), y = 0,1)

= 1/128 or 0.0078125

P(x<=1, y<=1) = 1/128 or 0.0078125 to 7 places

C)

P(x+y<=1)

From the function, we know that this is going to be less than one half of the probability in (B), closer to 1/4 of the previous.

It will be again a double integral, as follows:

P = int( int(F(x,y),x=0,1-y), y = 0,1)

= 5/2304

= 0.0021701 (to 7 decimals)

P(x+y<=1) = 5/2305, or 0.0021701 to 7 places

On a particular production line, the likelihood that a light bulb is defective is 10%. seven light bulbs are randomly selected. What is the probability that at most 4 of the light bulbs will be defective

Answers

Answer:

0.9995

Step-by-step explanation:

10% = 0.10

1 - 0.10 = 0.9

n = number of light bulbs = 7

we calculate this using binomial distribution.

p(x) = nCx × p^x(1-p)^n-x

our question says at most 4 is defective

= (7C0 × 0.1⁰ × 0.9⁷) + (7C1 × 0.1¹ × 0.9⁶) + (7C2 × 0.1² × 0.9⁵) + (7C3 × 0.1³ × 0.9⁴) + (7C4 × 0.1⁴ × 0.9³)

= 0.478 + 0.372 + 0.1239 + 0.023 + 0.0026

= 0.9995

we have 0.9995 probability that at most 4 light bulbs are defective.

A tin of tennis balls costs $6.99, and each tin contains 4
tennis balls.
If the tennis balls were sold individually, then
approximately how much would one tennis ball cost?
$​

Answers

Answer:

About $1.75 per tennis balls

Step-by-step explanation:

A tin of 4 tennis balls costs $6.99. We are asked to find the price of one tennis ball.

We need to find the unit price, or price per ball.

Divide the cost by the number of tennis balls.

cost / tennis balls

cost = $6.99

tennis balls = 4 tennis balls

$6.99 / 4 tennis balls

Divide 6.99 by 4.

$1.7475 / 1 tennis ball

Round to the nearest cent or hundredth. The 7 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 4 to a 5 in the hundredth place.

$1.75 / 1 tennis ball

It would cost approximately $1.75 for one tennis ball.

= 0.25

v. If a person is found to be a non –drinker, what is the probability that this person has liver problems?

= 0.104

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 Events in this question

Event A: People with liver problems

Event B : People without liver problems

Event A: People with liver problems

Let us represent people with liver problems as = (L)

a)8% have liver problems. = P(L)

Under liver problems we have:

b) 25% are heavy drinkers = P( L & H)

c) 35% are social drinkers = P( L & S)

d) 40% are non-drinkers. = P( L & N)

Event B( no liver problem)

Let us represent no liver problem as NL

We are not given in the question but Probability of having no liver problem = 100 - Probability of having liver problem

= 100 - 8% = 92 %

P(NL ) = 92%

From the question, For people without liver problems, we have:

a) 5% are heavy drinkers = P(NL & H)

b) 65% are social drinkers = P( NL & S)

c) 30% do not drink at all = P( NL & N)

An adult is chosen at random, what is the probability that this person

i. Has a liver problems?

P(L) = 8% or 0.08

ii. Is a heavy drinker ?

From the question, we have:

Probability of people that have liver problems and are heavy drinkers P(L & H) = 25% = 0.25

Probability of people that have do not have liver problems and are heavy drinkers P(NL & H) = 5% = 0.05

Probability ( Heavy drinker) =

P(L) × P(L & H) + P(NL) × P(NL & H)

= 0.25 × 0.08 + 0.05 × 0.92

iii. If a person is found to be a heavy drinker, what is the probability that this person has liver problem?

Probability (Heavy drinker and has liver problem) = [P(L) × P(L & H)] ÷ [P(L) × P(L & H)] + [P(NL) × P(NL & H) ]

= [0.25 × 0.08] ÷ [0.25 × 0.08] + [0.05 × 0.92]

= 0.303030303

Approximately = 0.303

iv. If a person is found to have liver problems, what is the probability that this person is a heavy drinker?

P(L & H) = 25% = 0.25

v. If a person is found to be a non –drinker, what is the probability that this person has liver problems.?

People with liver problems are non-drinkers. = P( L & N) = 40% = 0.4

People without liver problems and do not drink at all = P( NL & N) = 30% = 0.3

Probability (non drinker and has liver problem) = [P( L & N) × P(L & H)] ÷ [P( L & N) × P(L & H)] + [ P( NL & N) × P(NL & H) ]

= [0.4× 0.08] ÷ [0.4 × 0.08] + [0.3 × 0.92]

= 0.1038961039

Approximately ≈ 0.104

Answers

Answer:

204

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the shape, you can do multiple things. I've opted to shave down both prongs to take it from a 'T' shape to a rectangular prism.

For height of the prongs, take 4 from 6.

6 - 4 = 2

Divide by 2 as there are 2 prongs.

2 / 2 = 1

Remember L * W * H

6 * 3 * 1 = 18

Remember that there are two prongs!

3 + 4 = 7

6 * 7 * 4 = 168

168 + 2(18) = 204

Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 120,000 to 200 in 36 hours. At this rate of decay, how many bacteria will there be in 31 hours? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer: There will 486 bacteria in 31 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population decay in bacteria is exponential.

Exponential function : [tex]y=Ab^x[/tex], where A = initial population, b multiplication decay factor, t= time:

As per given:

Initial population: [tex]A=120,000[/tex]

After 36 hours, population = [tex]120000(b^{36})=200[/tex]

Divide both sides by 120,000 we get

[tex]b^{36}= 0.00167[/tex]

Taking natural log on both sides , we get

[tex]36\ln b=\ln 0.00167\\\\\Rightarrow\ b=e^{\left(\frac{\ln0.00167}{36}\right)}=0.83724629\approx0.8372[/tex]

At x= 31,

[tex]y=120000(0.8372)^{31}=120000\times0.00405234\approx486[/tex]

Hence, there will 486 bacteria in 31 hours.

What is the solution of the system of equations?
y = -3x + 7
y = 2x - 8

Answers

Answer:

x = 3, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y=y

then, -3x +7 = 2x-8

7+8 = 3x+2x

15 = 5x

x=3

substitute

y = 2(3) - 8

y = -2

Hope that helped!!! k

Answer:

y = -2

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using elimination

1. Rearrange the equations to make it easier to solve

y = -3x + 7 → 3x + y = 7

y = 2x - 8 → 2x - y = 8

2. Multiply the equations to have a matching coefficient

2(3x + y = 7) = 6x + 2y = 14

3(2x - y = 8) = 6x - 3y = 24

3. Subtract

 6x + 2y = 14

- 6x - 3y = 24

  0 + 5y = -10

4. Solve for y

5y = -10

y = -2

5. Substitute y in any equation to solve for x

-2 = -3x + 7

-3x = -9

x = 3

How would you find the coefficient of the third term in (x+5)^7?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coefficient of the third term in

[tex](x + 5)^{7} [/tex]

Rewrite the expansion in the form

[tex](a + x)^{n} [/tex]

where n is the index

So we have

[tex] ({5 + x})^{7} [/tex]

After that we use the formula

[tex]nCr( {a}^{n - r} ) {x}^{r} [/tex]

where r is the term we are looking for

For the third term we are looking for the term containing x²

that's

r + 1 = 3

r = 2

So to find the coefficient of the third term

We have

[tex]7C2[/tex]

Hope this helps you

first of all, the notation is wrong it should be [tex] {}^nC_r \text{ and more usual notation is } {n \choose k} [/tex]

second, the

[tex](r+1)^{\text{th}} \text{ term } T_{r+1} \text{ in the expansion of } (x+a)^n \text{ is } {n \choose r}x^{(n-r)}a^r[/tex]

here [tex] a=5 \text{ and } n=7 \text{ and for } 3^{\text{rd}} \text{ term } T_3, \quad r+1=3 \implies r=2 [/tex]

so the coefficient of third term is, [tex]{7 \choose 2}={7\choose 5}[/tex]

an important property of binomial coefficient you should know:

[tex] {n \choose k}={n \choose {n-k}}[/tex]

and if you interchange [tex] x \text{ and } a[/tex]

only the "order" will get reversed. i.e. the series will start from back.

another thing, the [tex] k^{\text{th}} \text{ term from beginning, is the } (n-k+2)^{\text{th}} \text{ term from behind}[/tex]

what number should replace the question mark

Answers

Answer: The missing number is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the table we can only have numbers between 1 and 9,

The pattern that i see is:

We have sets of 3 numbers.

"the bottom number is equal to the difference between the two first numers, if the difference is negative, change the sign, if the difference is zero, there goes a 9 (the next number to zero)"

Goin from right to left we have:

9 - 6 = 3

6 - 2 = 4

4 - 9 = - 5 (is negative, so we actually use -(-5) = 5)

4 - 4 = 0 (we can not use zero, so we use the next number, 9)

3 - 3 = 0 (same as above)

? - 1 = 4

? = 4 + 1 =  5

The missing number is 5.

(A) 16
(B) 26
(0) 32
(D) 48​

Answers

Answer:

(D) 48​

Step-by-step explanation:

Let English book = x

Let french book = y

In 1995 x= 10

Y= 7

In 1996

Y = 2x

Total book read in the two years

0.6(Total) = y

0.4(total) = x

We don't know the exact amount of books read in 1996.

Total = 10 + 7 +x +2x

Total = 17+3x

0.6(total) = 7+2x

0.6(17+3x) = 7+2x

10.2 +1.8x= 7+2x

10.2-7= 2x-1.8x

3.2= 0.2x

3.2/0.2= x

16= x

So she read 16 English book

And 16*2 = 32 french book Making it a total of 16+32= 48 books in 1996

Halla x si:

a) 4√5 b) √5 c) 4√3 d) 4 e) 4√2

Answers

Answer:

Option A. 4√5

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the value of x, we must first obtain the value of y as shown in the attached photo.

The value of y can be obtained by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

In this case y is the longest side i.e the Hypothenus.

y² = 4² + [4√3]²

y² = 4² + [4² × (√3)²]

y² = 4² + [4² × 3]

y² = 16 + [16 × 3]

y² = 16 + 48

y² = 64

Take the square root of both side

y = √64

y = 8

Finally, we shall determine the value of x by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below.

Note: x is the longest side i.e the Hypothenus in this case.

x² = 4² + 8²

x² = 16 + 64

x² = 80

Take the square root of both side

x = √80

x = √(16 × 5)

x = √16 × √5

x = 4√5

Therefore, the value of x is 4√5.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that he answered neither of the problems correctly ​is 0.0625.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a student ran out of time on a multiple-choice exam and randomly guess the answers for two problems each problem have four answer choices ABCD and only one correct answer.

Let X = Number of problems correctly ​answered by a student.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

[tex]P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r}\times p^{r}\times (1-p)^{n-r};x=0,1,2,3,....[/tex]    

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 2 problems

           r = number of success = neither of the problems are correct

           p = probability of success which in our question is probability that

                 a student answer correctly, i.e; p = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = 0.75.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 2, p = 0.75)

Now, the probability that he answered neither of the problems correctly ​is given by = P(X = 0)

             P(X = 0) = [tex]\binom{2}{0}\times 0.75^{0}\times (1-0.75)^{2-0}[/tex]

                            = [tex]1 \times 1\times 0.25^{2}[/tex]

                            = 0.0625

Answer:

C° = 71.6056

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Cosines: c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC°

Step 1: Plug in known variables

29² = 30² + 15² - 2(30)(15)cosC°

Step 2: Evaluate

841 = 900 + 225 - 900cosC°

-59 = 225 - 900cosC°

-284 = -900cosC°

71/225 = cosC°

cos⁻¹(71/225) = C°

C° = 71.6056

And we have our answer!

Answer:

  79.0°

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines is used for this purpose. It tells you ...

  a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)

Solving for A gives ...

  cos(A) = (b² +c² -a²)/(2bc) = (15² +29²-30²)/(2(15)(29)) = 166/870

Using the inverse cosine function, we find the angle to be ...

  A = arccos(166/870) ≈ 79.00026°

  A ≈ 79.0°
