Answer 1

Answer:

1   [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = 0.0130[/tex]

2  [tex]n = 3908.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  sample size is  [tex]n_p = 1400[/tex]

      The  number of those that said the would use internet is [tex]k = 872[/tex]

       The margin of error is  [tex]E = 0.02[/tex]

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically evaluated as

            [tex]\r p = \frac{k}{n_p}[/tex]

substituting values

            [tex]\r p = \frac{ 872}{1400}[/tex]

substituting values

           [tex]\r p = 0.623[/tex]

Generally the standard error of  [tex]\r p[/tex] is mathematically evaluated as

           [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \sqrt{\frac{\r p (1- \r p)}{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \sqrt{\frac{0.623 (1- 0.623)}{1400} }[/tex]

              [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = 0.0130[/tex]

For  a  95% confidence interval the confidence level is  95%

Given that the confidence interval is 95% the we can evaluated the level of confidence as

                    [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

                   [tex]\alpha = 1\%[/tex]

                   [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from normal distribution table (reference math dot  armstrong dot edu) , the value is  

         [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

Give that the population size is very large  the sample size is mathematically represented as

            [tex]n = [ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} ^2 * \r p ( 1 - \r p )}}{E^2} ][/tex]

substituting values  

             [tex]n = [ \frac{2.58 ^2 * 0.623 ( 1 -0.623 )}{0.02^2} ][/tex]

             [tex]n = 3908.5[/tex]

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

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°

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the equation... we need to find slope first.

                   y2 - y1             -9  -   6

slope = m  = ---------    =       -----------  =  15

                   x2 - x1             -9  -  (-8)

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

15x - y = -120-6

therefore.... 15x - y = - 126   or simplify it as or y = 15x + 126

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

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.

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) Find the value of the constant C. I already have 1/24.
B) Find P(X < = 1, Y < = 1)
C) Find P(X + Y < = 1).

Answers

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

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

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.

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.

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

Match each function name with its equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable is a variable that denotes a set of all the possible outcomes of a random experiment. It is denotes by a single capital letter such as X or Y.

There are two types of random variables.

Discrete random variable: These type of random variable takes finite number of values, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... For example, number of girl child in a neighborhood.Continuous random variable: These type of random variables takes infinite number of possible values. For example, the height, weight.

(1)

Exact weight of quarters now in circulation in the United States.

The variable weight is a continuous variable.

Thus, the exact weight of quarters now in circulation in the United States is a continuous random variable.

(2)

Shoe sizes of humans.

The shoe size of a person are discrete and finite values.

Thus, the shoe sizes of humans are discrete random variables.

(3)

Political party affiliations of adults in the United States.

This variable is not a quantitative variable.

It is a qualitative variable.

Thus, the political party affiliations of adults in the United States is no random variable.

If your starting salary is $40000 and you receive a 3% increase at the end of every year, what is the total amount, in dollars, you will earn one the first 16 years that you work

Answers

Answer:

Total amount in dollars= $64614.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial starting salary is $40000.

Rate of increase is 3%

Number of years is 16 years

The salary is compounded yearly.

Amount A after 16 years is given as

A= p (1+r/n)^ (nt)

A=40000(1+0.03/16)^(16*16)

A= 40000(1.001875)^(256)

A=40000(1.61534824)

A= 64613.92959

if the LCM and the HCF of two numbers are 9 and 3, respectively, what are the numbers?

Answers

Hey  There!

Answer:

HCF = 9  (With the two numbers) - 18,9LCM = 3  (with the two numbers) -  6,9

Step-by-step explanation:

HCF

If HCF is  ''9'' that means that ''9'' is the divisible of two numbers.

So 18 and 19 can be divided by 9 and that's the highest divisible for both factors.

And always remeber the answer is a ''Prime factor.''

LCM

If LCM is ''3'' that means ''3'' is the lowest common multiple out of  two numbers.

Hope this helps!

4 solid cubes were made out of the same material. All four have different side lengths: 6cm, 8cm, 10cm, and 12cm. How to distribute the cubes onto two plates of a scale so the scale is balanced? Answer: A= the cube with side length 6 cm, B= the cube with side length 8 cm, C= the cube with side length 10 cm, D= the cube with side length 12 cm. On one side of the scale : , on the other side of the scale

Answers

Answer: The cube with side length of 12cm is alone in one plate, the other 3 cubes are in the other plate.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 4 cubes with side lengths of:

6cm, 8cm, 10cm and 12cm.

Now, some things you need to know:

If we want a scale to be balanced, then the mass in both plates must be the same.

The volume of a cube of side length L is:

V = L^3

And the mass of an object of density D, and volume V is:

M = D*V.

As all the cubes are of the same material, all of them have the same density, so the fact that we do not know the value of D actually does not matter here.

Then we want to forms two groups of cubes in such a way that the total volume in each plate is the same (or about the same), the volumes of the cubes are:

Cube of 6cm:

V = (6cm)^3 = 216cm^3

Cube of 8cm:

V = (8cm)^3 = 512cm^3

Cube of 10cm:

V = (10cm)^3 = 1000cm^3

cube of 12cm

V = (12cm)^3 =  1728cm^3

First, if we add the volumes of the first two cubes, we have:

V1 = 216cm^3 + 512cm^3 = 728cm^3

Now we can see that we add 1000cm^3 the volume will be equal to the volume of the larger cube, so here we can also add the cube with side length of 10cm

Then the volume of the 3 smaller cubes together is:

V1 = 216cm^3 + 512cm^3 + 1000cm^3 = 1728cm^3.

Then, if we want to have the same volume in each plate, then we need to have the 3 smaller cubes in one plate, and the larger cube in the other plate.

1. In 1995, Diana read 10 English books and 7 French books. In 1996, she read twice as many French books as English books. If 60% of the books that she read during the 2 years were French, how many English and French books did she read in 1996?
(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

An arithmetic sequence has this recursive formula: (a^1 =8, a^n= a^n-1 -6
A.a^n=8+(n-6)(-1)
B.a^n=8+(n-1)(-6)
C.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a_n = 8 + (n - 1) (-6)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a_1 = 8[/tex]

Recursive: [tex]a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 6[/tex]

Required

Determine the formula

Substitute 2 for n to determine [tex]a_2[/tex]

[tex]a_{2} = a_{2-1} - 6[/tex]

[tex]a_{2} = a_{1} - 6[/tex]

Substitute [tex]a_1 = 8[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = 8 - 6[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = 2[/tex]

Next is to determine the common difference, d;

[tex]d = a_2 - a_1[/tex]

[tex]d = 2 - 8[/tex]

[tex]d = -6[/tex]

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is calculated as

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d[/tex]

Substitute [tex]a_1 = 8[/tex] and [tex]d = -6[/tex]

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d[/tex]

[tex]a_n = 8 + (n - 1) (-6)[/tex]

Hence, the nth term of the sequence can be calculated using[tex]a_n = 8 + (n - 1) (-6)[/tex]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

In a recent year, the socres for the reading portion of a test were normally distributed, with a mean of 23.3 and a standard deviation of 6.4. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.

(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected high school student who took the reading portion of the test has a score that is less than 18. (Round to 4 decimal places as needed.)

(b) Find a probability that a random selected high school student who took the reading portion of the test has a score that is between 19.9 and 26.7.

(c) Find a probability that a random selected high school student who took the reading portion of the test ahs a score that is more than 36.4.

(d) Identify any unusual events. Explain your reasoning.

Answer: (a) P(X<18) = 0.2033

              (b) P(19.9<X<26.7) = 0.4505

              (c) P(X>36.4) = 0.0202

               (d) Unusual event: P(X>36.4)

Step-by-step explanation: First, determine the z-score by calculating:

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

Then, use z-score table to determine the values.

(a) x = 18

[tex]z = \frac{18-23.3}{6.4}[/tex]

z = -0.83

P(X<18) = P(z< -0.83)

P(X<18) = 0.2033

(b) x=19.9 and x=26.7

[tex]z = \frac{19.9-23.3}{6.4}[/tex]

z = -0.67

[tex]z = \frac{26.7-23.3}{6.4}[/tex]

z = 0.53

P(19.9<X<26.7) = P(z<0.53) - P(z< -0.67)

P(19.9<X<26.7) = 0.7019 - 0.2514

P(19.9<X<26.7) = 0.4505

(c) x=36.4

[tex]z = \frac{36.4-23.3}{6.4}[/tex]

z = 2.05

P(X>36.4) = P(z>2.05) = 1 - P(z<2.05)

P(X>36.4) = 1 - 0.9798

P(X>36.4) = 0.0202

(d) Events are unusual if probability is less than 5% or 0.05. So, part (c) has an unusual event.

The probability will be:

(a) 0.2038

(b) 0.4046

(c) 0.0203

(d) Event in part (c) is unusual.

According to the question,

[tex]\mu = 23.2[/tex][tex]\sigma = 6.4[/tex]

Let,

"X" shows the test scores.

(a)

The z-score for X=18 will be:

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

      [tex]= \frac{18-23.3}{6.4}[/tex]

      [tex]= -0.828[/tex]

So,

The probability will be:

→ [tex]P(X<18) = P(z < -0.828)[/tex]

                     [tex]= 0.2038[/tex]

(b)

The z-score for X=19.9 will be:

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

     [tex]= \frac{19.9-23.3}{6.4}[/tex]

     [tex]= -0.531[/tex]

The z-score for X=26.7 will be:

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

      [tex]= \frac{26.7-23.3}{6.4}[/tex]

      [tex]= 0.531[/tex]

So,

The probability will be:

→ [tex]P(19.9 < X< 23.3) = P(-0.531 < z< 0.531)[/tex]

                                   [tex]= 0.4046[/tex]

(c)

The z-score for X=36.4 will be:

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

     [tex]= \frac{36.4-23.3}{6.4}[/tex]

     [tex]= 2.047[/tex]

So,

The probability will be:

→ [tex]P(X > 36.4 )= P(z > 2.047)[/tex]

                       [tex]= 0.0203[/tex]

(d)

Just because it's probability value is less than 0.05, so that the events is "part c" is unusual.

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]

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 what is the probability that he answered neither of the problems correctly ​

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

Parallelogram:A simple (non-self-intersecting) quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides is known as a parallelogram in Euclidean geometry. A parallelogram's facing or opposing sides are of equal length, and its opposing angles are of similar size. The Euclidean parallel postulate or one of its equivalent formulations must be used in order to demonstrate the congruence of opposed sides and opposite angles because both conditions are a direct result of this postulate.In contrast, a quadrilateral with only one set of parallel sides is referred to as a trapezoid or trapezium in British or American English.The parallelepiped is a parallelogram's three-dimensional equivalent.

Therefore, the correct answer is (D) 9 cm.
