Answer:
a. the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute is 0.5948
b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 76 beats per minute is 0.8849
c. D. Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean μ =73.0
Standard deviation σ =12.5
a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute.
Let X represent the random variable that is normally distributed with a mean of 73.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute.
Then : X [tex]\sim[/tex] N ( μ = 73.0 , σ = 12.5)
The probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute can be computed as:
[tex]P(X < 76) = P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}< \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma})[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 76) = P(\dfrac{76-\mu}{\sigma}< \dfrac{76-73}{12.5})[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 76) = P(Z< \dfrac{3}{12.5})[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 76) = P(Z< 0.24)[/tex]
From the standard normal distribution tables,
[tex]P(X < 76) = 0.5948[/tex]
Therefore , the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute is 0.5948
b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 76 beats per minute.
now; we have a sample size n = 25
The probability can now be calculated as follows:
[tex]P(\overline X < 76) = P(\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{ \overline X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}})[/tex]
[tex]P( \overline X < 76) = P(\dfrac{76-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{76-73}{\dfrac{12.5}{\sqrt{25}}})[/tex]
[tex]P( \overline X < 76) = P(Z< \dfrac{3}{\dfrac{12.5}{5}})[/tex]
[tex]P( \overline X < 76) = P(Z< 1.2)[/tex]
From the standard normal distribution tables,
[tex]P(\overline X < 76) = 0.8849[/tex]
c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?
In order to determine the probability in part (b); the normal distribution is perfect to be used here even when the sample size does not exceed 30.
Therefore option D is correct.
Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.

The one-sample z test is: a. a hypothesis test b. used to test hypotheses c. concerning a single population with a known variance d. concerning at least one population e. concerning the variance in a population d. all of the above
Answer:
d. all of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
A one sample z test measures whether the mean of a population is greater, less or equal to a specific value. It is called one sampl z test since the standard normal distribution is used in calculation of critical values. It makes use of the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis in determining if the mean is greater than or equal or less than the reference value. Variance and standard deviation is assumed to be known and at least one population is used

name all the pairs of angles which are vertical angles , alternate interior angles , alternate exterior angles , co interior angles , co exterior angles , and corresponding angles from the given figure . (co interior - interior angles on the same side of transversal)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since m and k are the parallel lines and a transverse 'l' is intersecting these lines at two different points.
- Opposite angles at the point of intersection of parallel lines and the transverse will be the vertical angles.
∠1 ≅ ∠3, ∠2 ≅ ∠4, ∠5 ≅ ∠8 and ∠6 ≅ ∠7 [Vertical angles]
- Pair of angles between parallel lines 'k' and 'm' but on the opposite side of the transversal are the alternate interior angles.
∠4 ≅ ∠6 and ∠3 ≅ ∠5 [Alternate interior angles]
- Angles having the same relative positions at the point of intersection are the corresponding angles.
∠2 ≅ ∠6, ∠3 ≅ ∠8, ∠4 ≅ ∠7 and ∠1 ≅ ∠5 [Corresponding angles]
- Co interior angles are the angles between the parallel lines located on the same side of the transversal.
∠4 and ∠5, ∠3 and ∠6 [Co interior angles]
- Co exterior angles are the angles on the same side of the transverse but outside the parallel lines.
∠2 and ∠8, ∠1 and ∠7 [Co exterior angles]
A planet rotates on an axis through its poles and 1 revolution takes 1 day 1 day is 24 hours. The distance from the axis to a location the planet 30 degrees north latitude is about 3387.5 miles. Therefore, a location on the planet at 30 degrees north latitude is spinning on a circle of radius 3387.5 miles.
Compute the linear speed on the surface of the planet at 30 degrees north latitude.
Answer:
The velocity is [tex]v = 886.96 \ m/s[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The period of each revolution is [tex]T = 1\ day = 24 \ hours[/tex]
The angle is [tex]\theta = 30^o[/tex]
The radius is [tex]r = 3387.5 \ miles[/tex]
Generally the linear speed is mathematically represented as
[tex]v = w * r[/tex]
Where [tex]w[/tex] is the angular speed which is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{T}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]w = \frac{2 *3.142 }{24}[/tex]
[tex]w = 0.2618 \ rad/s[/tex]
Thus
[tex]v = 0.261833 * 3387.5[/tex]
[tex]v = 886.96 \ m/s[/tex]

Show that P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B)-2P(AnB), directly using the axioms of probability.
Correction:
P(AΔB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(AnB)
is what could be proven using the axioms of probability, and considering the case of symmetric difference given.
Answer:
P(AΔB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(AnB)
Has been shown.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are required to show that
P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(AnB)
directly using the axioms of probability.
Note the following:
AUB = (AΔB) U (AnB)
Because (AΔB) U (AnB) is disjoint, we have:
P(AUB) = P(AΔB) + P(AnB)..................(1)
But again,
P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)...............(2)
Comparing (1) with (2), we have
P(AΔB) + P(AnB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)
P(AΔB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(AnB)
Where AΔB is the symmetric difference of A and B.

Given the following hypotheses: H0: μ = 490 H1: μ ≠ 490 A random sample of 15 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 495 and the sample standard deviation 9. Using the 0.01 significance level:
a.) State the decision rule.
b.) Compute the value of the test statistic.
c.) What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?
Answer:
We conclude that the population mean is equal to 490.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a random sample of 15 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 495 and the sample standard deviation 9.
Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 490 {means that the population mean is equal to 490}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 490 {means that the population mean is different from 490}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_1_4[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean = 495
s = sample standard deviation = 9
n = sample of observations = 15
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{495-490}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{15} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_1_4[/tex]
= 2.152
The value of t-test statistics is 2.152.
Now, at a 0.01 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -2.977 and 2.977 at 14 degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will not fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that the population mean is equal to 490.

Century Roofing is thinking of opening a new warehouse, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new warehouse. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No new working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.)
Question Completion:
WACC = 10.0%
Opportunity cost = $100,000
Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) = $65,000
Straight-line deprec. rate for equipment = 33.333%
Sales revenues, each year = $123,000
Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year = $25,000
Tax rate = 35%
Answer:
Century Roofing
Project's NPV is: ($6,578)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
WACC = 10.0%
Opportunity cost = $100,000
Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) = $65,000
Straight-line deprec. rate for equipment = 33.333%
Sales revenues, each year = $123,000
Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year = $25,000
Tax rate = 35%
Cash outflow in year 0 = $165,000 (Opportunity and new equipment costs)
Annual Cash inflow = $123,000 - $25,000 - $34,300 = $63,700
PV of annuity for 3 years at 10% = $158,422 ($63,700 x 2.487)
NPV = Cash inflow minus Cash outflow
= $158,422 - $165,000
= ($6,578)
Negative NPV
b) Since Century Roofing could have realized $100,000 from the sale of the building if it decides not to open the new warehouse, this opportunity cost is factored into the calculation of the Net Present Value. It becomes a present cash outflow. Century Roofing's opportunity cost is defined as the loss of $100,000 being the future return from the best alternative project when it chooses to build the new warehouse instead of selling off the building.

A. repeated measures design
B. matched pairs design
C. matched samples design
D. both matched pairs design and matched samples design
Answer:
Option A (repeated measures design) is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Researchers as well as statisticians vary in terms of methods used mostly for repetitive measurements. Besides illustration, repeated models of measurements are however recognized as repeated analyzes of variance measurements, standardized considerations of measurements, or layouts of objects throughout them.The other three options are not related to the given instance. So that alternative A would be the correct choice.
Marine ecologists estimate the reproduction curve for swordfish in a fishing ground to be f(p) = −0.01p2 + 9p, where p and f(p) are in hundreds. Find the population that gives the maximum sustainable yield, and the size of the yield.
Answer:
The population that gives the maximum sustainable yield is 45000 swordfishes.
The maximum sustainable yield is 202500 swordfishes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be [tex]f(p) = -0.01\cdot p^{2}+9\cdot p[/tex], the maximum sustainable yield can be found by using first and second derivatives of the given function: (First and Second Derivative Tests)
First Derivative Test
[tex]f'(p) = -0.02\cdot p +9[/tex]
Let equalize the resulting expression to zero and solve afterwards:
[tex]-0.02\cdot p + 9 = 0[/tex]
[tex]p = 450[/tex]
Second Derivative Test
[tex]f''(p) = -0.02[/tex]
This means that result on previous part leads to an absolute maximum.
The population that gives the maximum sustainable yield is 45000 swordfishes.
The maximum sustainable yield is:
[tex]f(450) = -0.01\cdot (450)^{2}+9\cdot (450)[/tex]
[tex]f(450) =2025[/tex]
The maximum sustainable yield is 202500 swordfishes.

Yelena needs to swim a total of 8 miles this
week. So far, she swam 5 miles. Use the
equation 5 + m=8 to find how many more
miles Yelena needs to swim.
Answer:
3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
5 + m=8
Subtract 5 from each side
5-5 + m=8-5
m = 3
She needs to swim 3 more miles
Answer:
Yelena needs to swim 3 more miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to solve for the variable "m", which represents the miles. Based on the information, Yelena swam 5 miles and she needs to swim 8. Solve:
[tex]5+m=8[/tex]
To find the value of m, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, you need to get the 8 and 5 on the same side of the equal operation. For this, you need to use reverse operations. This undoes the value from one side and does the same on the other, keeping the equation balanced. Since we have a "positive 5", we take the opposite, which would be a "negative 5". So subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]5-5+m=8-5[/tex]
Simplify. The 5's cancel each other out, leaving 0. 8-5 is 3:
[tex]m=3[/tex]
The total miles left that Yelena needs to swim is 3 miles.

Scores on a college entrance examination are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. What percent of people who write this exam obtain scores between 350 and 650?
Answer:
The percentage is [tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = 86.6\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 500[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 100[/tex]
The percent of people who write this exam obtain scores between 350 and 650
[tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = P(\frac{ 350 - 500}{ 100} <\frac{ X - \mu }{ \sigma } < \frac{650 - 500}{ 100} )[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
[tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = P(\frac{ 350 - 500}{ 100} <Z < \frac{650 - 500}{ 100} )[/tex]
[tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = P(-1.5<Z < 1.5 )[/tex]
[tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = P(Z < 1.5) - P(Z < -1.5)[/tex]
From the z-table [tex]P(Z < -1.5 ) = 0.066807[/tex]
and [tex]P(Z < 1.5 ) = 0.93319[/tex]
=> [tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = 0.93319 - 0.066807[/tex]
=> [tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = 0.866[/tex]
Therefore the percentage is [tex]P(350 < X 650 ) = 86.6\%[/tex]

Suppose that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of 200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked.Required:a. What is the (approximate) probability that X is at most 30?b. What is the (approximate) probability that X is less than 30?c. What is the (approximate) probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive)?
Answer:
(a) The probability that X is at most 30 is 0.9726.
(b) The probability that X is less than 30 is 0.9554.
(c) The probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive) is 0.7406.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked. A random sample of 200 shafts is taken.
Let X = the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution such that X ~ Binom(n = 200, p = 0.11).
Here the probability of success is 11% that this much % of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked.
Now, here to calculate the probability we will use normal approximation because the sample size if very large(i.e. greater than 30).
So, the new mean of X, [tex]\mu[/tex] = [tex]n \times p[/tex] = [tex]200 \times 0.11[/tex] = 22
and the new standard deviation of X, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{n \times p \times (1-p)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{200 \times 0.11 \times (1-0.11)}[/tex]
= 4.42
So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu =22, \sigma^{2} = 4.42^{2}[/tex])
(a) The probability that X is at most 30 is given by = P(X < 30.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X < 30.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{30.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 1.92) = 0.9726
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.92 in the z table which has an area of 0.9726.
(b) The probability that X is less than 30 is given by = P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 29.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 29.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{29.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.70) = 0.9554
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.70 in the z table which has an area of 0.9554.
(c) The probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive) is given by = P(15 [tex]\leq[/tex] X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = P(X < 25.5) - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 14.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X < 25.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{25.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.79) = 0.7852
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 14.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{14.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -1.70) = 1 - P(Z < 1.70)
= 1 - 0.9554 = 0.0446
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.79 and x = 1.70 in the z table which has an area of 0.7852 and 0.9554.
Therefore, P(15 [tex]\leq[/tex] X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = 0.7852 - 0.0446 = 0.7406.
Even though the population standard deviation is unknown, an investigator uses z rather than the more appropriate t to test a hypothesis at the .01 level of significance. In this situation the true level of significance of this test is
Answer:
The true true level of significance of this test is more than 0.01.
Step-by-step explanation:
No standard deviation and we are told that the investigator still used z rather than the more appropriate t - distribution.
This method of using the z-distribution when standard deviation is unknown will definitely result in a smaller critical value and this in turn simply means that the p-value will be smaller than what it should really be.
Thus, it means the critical value is getting closer to the mean value than the way it should be.
Therefore, means that for a given significance of 0.01 and using the z-distribution under this no standard deviation situation, the true true level of significance of this test is more than 0.01.
