Answer:
0.6026 = 60.26% probability that at least 23 will be fraudulent or will contain errors that are purposely made to cheat the IRS
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed 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.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
Approximately 0.0746 of the tax returns filed are fraudulent or will contain errors.
This means that [tex]p = 0.0746[/tex]
Random sample of 318 independent returns
This means that [tex]n = 318[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 318*0.0746 = 23.7228[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{318*0.0746*0.9254} = 4.6854[/tex]
What is the probability that at least 23 will be fraudulent or will contain errors that are purposely made to cheat the IRS?
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 23 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 22.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 22.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{22.5 - 23.7228}{4.6854}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.26[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.26[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3974.
1 - 0.3974 = 0.6026
0.6026 = 60.26% probability that at least 23 will be fraudulent or will contain errors that are purposely made to cheat the IRS

Students in a statistics class are conducting a survey to estimate the mean number of units students at their college are enrolled in. The students collect a random sample of 48 students. The mean of the sample is 12.4 units. The sample has a standard deviation of 1.7 units.
Required:
What is the 95% confidence interval for the average number of units that students in their college are enrolled in?
Answer:
[11.906 ; 12.894]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Sample mean, xbar = 12.4
Sample standard deviation, s = 1.7
Sample size, n = 48
We use the T distribution since we are using the sample standard deviation;
α - level = 95% ; df = n - 1 = 48 - 1 = 47
Tcritical = T(1 - α/2), 47 = 2.012
Using the confidence interval for one sample mean
Xbar ± Tcritical * s/√n
12.4 ± (2.012 * 1.7/√48)
12.4 ± 0.4936922
C. I = [11.906 ; 12.894]

The following section is a statement from the rental agreement Tim signed when he rented his car this past weekend. “Upon checkout, the fuel level of the vehicle will be determined by turning the vehicle on and visually inspecting the fuel gauge. The approximate fuel level will be recorded on the Check-Out sheet and verified with initials by the vehicle Renter. One copy of the Check-Out sheet will be given to the customer. Another copy will be kept with the on-site records of the vehicle. The rented vehicle must be returned with a minimum fuel level the same as that indicated on the Check-Out sheet. A vehicle returned with a fuel level less than the approximate level indicated on the Check-Out sheet will be completely refueled with on-site pumps. The price of the fuel used to refuel the vehicle will be added to the Renter’s total charge at a cost of $4.50 per gallon plus a $5.00 re-fueling charge.” As a part of the check-out process, it is customary for a car rental agency to look over the car with the customer and fill out the Check-Out sheet together. As Tim was walking around the car looking for damages that he didn’t want to be held responsible for, the agency representative turned on the car, took note of the fuel level, and indicated it on the Check-Out sheet. Since Tim didn’t have any questions, the clerk handed him the keys and a copy of the Check-Out sheet and wished him well. Which action invalidates the contract Tim signed with the rental agency? a. Tim failed to notice a dent under the right front fender. b. The representative failed to give Tim a copy of the Check-Out sheet. c. The representative failed to have Tim initial by the fuel level on the Check-Out sheet. d. Neither Tim nor the representative checked the oil level in the car.
Answer:
C. The representative failed to have Tim initial by the fuel level on the Check-Out sheet.
Step-by-step explanation:
After reading the paragraph, we can eliminate B, by seeing that the representative did give him a copy of the Check-Out sheet, as quoted. "Since Tim didn’t have any questions, the clerk handed him the keys and a copy of the Check-Out sheet and wished him well.".
We can also eliminate A and D, as the contract stated nothing about dents or the oil level in the car.
The answer is C, as the representative failed to have Tim initial on the Check-Out sheet. That is a requirement for the contract to be valid, as stated. "The approximate fuel level will be recorded on the Check-Out sheet and verified with initials by the vehicle Renter.". However, Tim never initialed by the fuel level, as stated here. "...the agency representative turned on the car, took note of the fuel level, and indicated it on the Check-Out sheet. Since Tim didn’t have any questions, the clerk handed him the keys and a copy of the Check-Out sheet and wished him well.". No where here does it state that Tim initialed on the Check-Out sheet, meaning that he didn't. Him not doing so invalidates the contract.
If f(x)=logx, show that f(x+h)-f(x)/h=log[1+h/x]^1/h, h=/=0 (Picture attached, thank you!)
Answer:
Step by step proof shown below.
Step-by-step explanation:
To prove the equation, you need to apply the Logarithm quotient rule and the Logarithm power rule. Here's how the quotient rule looks like.
[tex]log_b(x/y) = log_b(x) - log_b(y)[/tex]
And here's how the power rule looks like
[tex]log_a(x)^n = nlog_a(x)[/tex]
First let's apply the quotient rule.
[tex]\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} = \frac{log_a(x+h)-log_a(x) }{h} = \frac{log_a(\frac{x+h}{x} )}{h}[/tex]
Now we can do some quick simplification, and apply the power rule.
[tex]\frac{1}{h} log_a(1 + \frac{h}{x} ) = log_a(1+\frac{h}{x} )^\frac{1}{h}[/tex]

A bank quotes an interest rate as 0.06341 annual effective yield. What interest rate, compounded monthly, will provide that
annual effective interest rate? Round your answer to five decimal places and do not round any intermediate calculations to
less than seven decimal places.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
0.06164
Step-by-step explanation:
The effective annual rate obtained by compounding nominal annual rate r monthly is ...
eff rate = (1 +r/12)^12 -1
Then the value of r is ...
r = 12×((eff rate) +1)^(1/12) -1)
For the given effective rate, that is ...
r = 12×(1.06341^(1/12) -1) ≈ 0.06164 . . . . nominal annual interest rate

Which best describes the process of selecting a cluster sample?
Clusters that each represent the population are sampled from such that no two members of the same cluster are included in the sample.
Members of a population are organized in clusters, each of which is representative of the population, and then whole clusters are randomly selected to make up the sample.
Members of a population are ordered by some characteristic, and then a cluster sample is formed by selecting every kth member.
Members of a population are separated into clusters based on a characteristic important to the study and a random sample is selected from each cluster.
Answer:
"Members of a population are organized in clusters, each of which is representative of the population, and then whole clusters are randomly selected to make up the sample"
Step-by-step explanation:
In cluster random sampling, "the population is divided, usually geographically, into groups that generally have the same size. A certain number of groups are randomly chosen, and every individual in the chosen groups are chosen for the sample."
In accord with this logic, the second choice, "Members of a population are organized in clusters, each of which is representative of the population, and then whole clusters are randomly selected to make up the sample" seems to be correct.

9514 1404 393
Answer:
0.0056
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = √(49 +x)
f'(x) = 1/(2√(49 +x))
A linear approximation of f(x) expanded about x=0 is ...
f(x) ≈ f(0) + f'(0)x = 7 +x/(2·7)
Then for √53, we have x=4
f(4) ≈ 7 +4/14 = 7 2/7 . . . . . approximate √53 using differentials
__
The calculator value of √53 is about 7.280110, so the difference in results is ...
approx - actual ≈ 7.285714 -7.280110 = 0.005604 ≈ 0.0056
Decompose -6x/(x+2)(x+8) into partial fractions.
The partial fraction expansion takes the form
-6x/((x + 2) (x + 8)) = a/(x + 2) + b/(x + 8)
Both factors in the denominator are linear, so the numerators in the corresponding partial fractions have degree 1 - 1 = 0 and are thus constants.
Combine the fractions on the right side into one with a common denominator, then set the numerators on both sides of the equation equal to each other:
-6x = a (x + 8) + b (x + 2)
Expand the right side and collect terms by powers of x :
-6x = (a + b) x + (8a + 2b)
It follows that
a + b = -6 and 8a + 2b = 0
==> a = -2 and b = 8
So we end up with
-6x/((x + 2) (x + 8)) = -2/(x + 2) + 8/(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:
1. Approach
The surface area of a three-dimensional figure is the two-dimensional distance around the figure. The easiest way to find the surface area of a figure is to find the area of each of its facets, then add up the area to get the total surface area. The given pyramid is composed of four congruent triangles and a square. Find the area of one of the triangles, and then the area of the rectangle. Multiply the area of the triangle by four to account for the fact that there are four congruent triangles. Then add the area of the base to the result, the result attained is the surface area of the prism.
2. Find the area of the triangles
The formula to find the area of a triangle is the following:
[tex]A_t=\frac{b*h}{2}[/tex]
Where (b) represents the base and (h) represents the height of the triangle. Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for the answer.
[tex]A_t=\frac{b*h}{2}[/tex]
[tex]A_t=\frac{9*7.5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]A_t=\frac{67.5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]A_t=33.75[/tex]
3. Find the area of the rectangle
The formula to find the area of a rectangle is the following,
[tex]A_r=b*h[/tex]
Substitute the given values in and solve,
[tex]A_r=b*h[/tex]
[tex]A_r=9*9[/tex]
[tex]A_r=81[/tex]
4. Find the total surface area
Multiply the area of the triangle by four to account for the fact that there are four triangles. Then add its area to the area of the rectangle.
[tex]A_t+A_t+A_t+A_t+A_r=A[/tex]
[tex]4(A_t)+(A_r)=A[/tex]
[tex]4*33.75+81=A[/tex]
[tex]135+81=A[/tex]
[tex]216=A[/tex]

C. I = 11.242 ; 12.958
A lab technician needs 35 ml of 15% base solution for a certain experiment,
but she has only 10% solution and 20% solution. How many milliliters of
the 10% and the 20% solutions should she mix to get what she needs?
Answer:
17.5ml- of 10 percent solution, 17.5ml- of 20 percent solution
Step-by-step explanation:
35:100*15=5.25- ml of alkali in the base solution
Suppose we need x ml of 10 percents solution and 35-x - of 20 percents.
Then The quantity of alkali in the first one (10 percents) is x/100*10=0.1x
when in the second one we have (35-x)/100*20= 7-0.2x of alkali
0.1x+7-0.2x=5.25
7-0.1x= 5.25
0.1x=1.75
x=17.5- 0f 10 percents
35-17.5=17.5 - of 20 percents

write each equation explicitly in terms of x. then indicate whether the equation is a function.
3xy+x=y-6
We usually write explicit functions as one variable in terms of another variable. A simple example of an explicit function is a linear function, such as y = 4x - 7. This function is written as the dependent variable y in terms of the independent variable x.
