if the average of b and c is 8, and d=3b-4, what is the average of c and d in terms of b?
[tex] \underline{ \huge \mathcal{ Ànswér} } \huge: - [/tex]
Average of b and c is 8, that is
[tex]➢ \: \: \dfrac{b + c}{2} = 8[/tex]
[tex]➢ \: \: b + c = 16[/tex]
[tex]➢ \: \: c = 16 - b[/tex]
now let's solve for average of c and d :
[tex]➢ \: \: \dfrac{c + d}{2} [/tex]
[tex]➢ \: \: \dfrac{16 - b + 3b - 4}{2} [/tex]
[tex]➢ \: \: \dfrac{12 + 2b}{2} [/tex]
[tex]➢ \: \: \dfrac{2(6 + b)}{2} [/tex]

Problem:
If the average of b and c is 8, and d=3b-4, what is the average of c and d in terms of b?
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given (b+c)/2=8 and d=3b-4.
We are asked to find (c+d)/2 in terms of variable, b.
We need to first solve (b+c)/2=8 for c.
Multiply both sides by 2: b+c=16.
Subtract b on both sides: c=16-b
Now let's plug in c=16-b and d=3b-4 into (c+d)/2:
([16-b]+[3b-4])/2
Combine like terms:
(12+2b)/2
Divide top and bottom by 2:
(6+1b)/1
Multiplicative identity property applied:
(6+b)/1
Anything divided by 1 is that anything:
(6+b)
6+b

what is the ratio of the two values and what new value do they produce? 105 miles in 2 hours
what is the ratio of the two values and what new value do they produce? $33 for 5lb
what is the ratio of the two values and what new value do they produce? 50 pages in 2 hours
Answer:
The ratio between two values A and B is just the quotient between these two values:
ratio = A/B
a) $280 in 7m
Here the ratio is:
$280/7m = $40/m
This also can be read as:
$40 per meter.
b) 105 miles in 2 hours
Here the ratio is:
105mi/2h = 52.5 mi/h
This also can be read as:
52.5 miles per hour
c) $33 for 5lb
The ratio is:
$33/5lb = $6.6/lb
This can be read as:
$6.6 per pound.
d) 50 pages in 2 hours
the ratio is:
(50 pages)/2h = 25 pages/h
this can be read as:
25 pages per hour.
The director of research and development is testing a new medicine. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the medicine relieves pain in more than 384 seconds. For a sample of 41 patients, the mean time in which the medicine relieved pain was 387 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation is 23. Find the P-value of the test statistic.
Answer:
The p-value of the test statistic is 0.2019.
Step-by-step explanation:
Test if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the medicine relieves pain in more than 384 seconds.
At the null hypothesis, we test if it relieves pain in at most 384 seconds, that is:
[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 384[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if it relieves pain in more than 384 seconds, that is:
[tex]H_1: \mu > 384[/tex]
The test statistic is:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
384 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 384[/tex]
For a sample of 41 patients, the mean time in which the medicine relieved pain was 387 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation is 23.
This means that [tex]n = 41, X = 387, \sigma = 23[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{387 - 384}{\frac{23}{\sqrt{41}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = 0.835[/tex]
P-value of the test:
The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean above 387, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 0.835.
Looking at the z-table, z = 0.835 has a p-value of 0.7981.
1 - 0.7981 = 0.2019
The p-value of the test statistic is 0.2019.

According to records from a large public university, 88% of students who graduate from the university successfully find employment in their chosen field within three months of graduation. What is the probability that of nine randomly selected students who have graduated from this university, at least six of them find employment in their chosen field within three months
Answer:
0.9842 = 98.42% probability that at least six of them find employment in their chosen field within three months.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they found employment, or they did not. The probability of a student finding employment is independent of any other student, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
88% of students who graduate from the university successfully find employment in their chosen field within three months of graduation.
This means that [tex]p = 0.88[/tex]
Nine randomly selected students
This means that [tex]n = 9[/tex]
What is the probability that of nine randomly selected students who have graduated from this university, at least six of them find employment in their chosen field within three months?
This is:
[tex]P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{9,6}.(0.88)^{6}.(0.12)^{3} = 0.0674[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{9,7}.(0.88)^{7}.(0.12)^{2} = 0.2119[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{9,8}.(0.88)^{8}.(0.12)^{1} = 0.3884[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{9,9}.(0.88)^{9}.(0.12)^{0} = 0.3165[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) = 0.0674 + 0.2119 + 0.3884 + 0.3165 = 0.9842[/tex]
0.9842 = 98.42% probability that at least six of them find employment in their chosen field within three months.
A vegetable garden and a surrounding as a shaped like a square that together a 11 ft wide. The path is 2 feet wide. If one bag of gravel covers 10 square feet, how many bags are needed to cover the path? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. NO LINKS OR ANSWERING QUESTIONS YOU DON'T KNOW.
Answer:
[tex] \displaystyle 4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given that A vegetable garden and a surrounding as a shaped like a square that together a 11 ft wide. The path is 2 feet wide.since together the width of Vegetable garden and path is 11 ft, the width of the vegetables garden will be the difference between the total width and the width of path Thus,
[tex] \displaystyle \rm W _{ garden} = 11 - 2[/tex]
simplify substraction:
[tex] \displaystyle \rm W _{ garden} = 9[/tex]
recall that, every single side of a square is equal to each other therefore the the area of the garden will be
[tex] \displaystyle {9}^{2} [/tex]
simplify square:
[tex] \displaystyle 81[/tex]
together the garden and path makes a square of every side length 11 ft saying that the area will be:
[tex] \displaystyle {11}^{2} [/tex]
simplify square:
[tex] \displaystyle 121[/tex]
the area of path will be the difference between the total area and the garden area therefore,
[tex] \displaystyle 121 - 81[/tex]
simplify addition:
[tex] \displaystyle 40[/tex]
to figure out how many bags are needed to cover the path. we just need to divide the area of the path by the area of a bag of gravel and that yields:
[tex] \displaystyle \frac{40}{10} [/tex]
simplify division:
[tex] \displaystyle \boxed{\rm4}[/tex]
hence,
4 bags are needed to cover the path.

A random sample of n1 = 296 voters registered in the state of California showed that 146 voted in the last general election. A random sample of n2 = 215 registered voters in the state of Colorado showed that 127 voted in the most recent general election. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of voter turnout in Colorado is higher than that in California? Use a 5% level of significance.
Answer:
The p-value of the test is 0.0139 < 0.05, which means that these data indicates that the population proportion of voter turnout in Colorado is higher than that in California.
Step-by-step explanation:
Before testing the hypothesis, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
California:
Sample of 296 voters, 146 voted. This means that:
[tex]p_{Ca} = \frac{146}{296} = 0.4932[/tex]
[tex]s_{Ca} = \sqrt{\frac{0.4932*0.5068}{296}} = 0.0291[/tex]
Colorado:
Sample of 215 voters, 127 voted. This means that:
[tex]p_{Co} = \frac{127}{215} = 0.5907[/tex]
[tex]s_{Co} = \sqrt{\frac{0.5907*0.4093}{215}} = 0.0335[/tex]
Test if the population proportion of voter turnout in Colorado is higher than that in California:
At the null hypothesis, we test if it is not higher, that is, the subtraction of the proportions is at most 0. So
[tex]H_0: p_{Co} - p_{Ca} \leq 0[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if it is higher, that is, the subtraction of the proportions is greater than 0. So
[tex]H_1: p_{Co} - p_{Ca} > 0[/tex]
The test statistic is:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.
0 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]
From the two samples:
[tex]X = p_{Co} - p_{Ca} = 0.5907 - 0.4932 = 0.0975[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_{Co}^2+s_{Ca}^2} = \sqrt{0.0291^2+0.0335^2} = 0.0444[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{0.0975 - 0}{0.0444}[/tex]
[tex]z = 2.2[/tex]
P-value of the test and decision:
The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a difference above 0.0975, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 2.2.
Looking at the z-table, z = 2.2 has a p-value of 0.9861.
1 - 0.9861 = 0.0139.
The p-value of the test is 0.0139 < 0.05, which means that these data indicates that the population proportion of voter turnout in Colorado is higher than that in California.

Given a set of data that is skewed-left, there is at least _____ % of the data within 2 standard deviations.
Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
For non-normal distributions, we use Chebyshev's Theorem.
Chebyshev Theorem
The Chebyshev Theorem states that:
At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by [tex]100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})[/tex].
In this question:

A teacher calculates for the test grades in
Class A, mean = 32 and sd = 4
Class B, mean = 32 and sd = 8
a. If the teacher was going to guess what any student in his/her class would earn, what is the best score
to guess?
b. Which of the classes has more consistency in their scores? Why?
Answer:
a. best score to guess would be 33
b. Standard deviation simplifies the square root of the mean so makes it closer to 1 has more consistency as the mean of 32 when squared is sqrt 32 is Class A as class a = 4 and is closer to 5.65685425
as 5.65685425^2 = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are comparing two normally-distributed variables on the same measurement scale then yes, you can regard the standard deviation as an indicator of how reliable the mean is--the smaller the standard deviation, the better able you are to "zero in" on the actual population mean.
a. proofs;
We find 32/6 = 5.333 and 32/5 = 6.4 and 6.4 is closer to both sd 4 and 8 than 5.33 is. As 6.4 it is closer to 6
But when we use 33/6 = 5.5 and therefore shows close range 6
therefore the two sd proves it is slightly high 32 score average for both classes A + B when joined and high 32 = 33 mean when classes A+B are joined or you could say 32/8 = 4 is class B becomes lower tests scores as 32/4 = 8 of class A that has higher test scores.
In this exercise we have to use probability and statistics to organize the students' grades, so we have:
A) best score is 33
B) Class A
In the first part of the exercise we have to analyze the grades of each class, like this:
A)Class A: 32/4
Class B: 32/8
Dividing each of them we have:
[tex]32/4=8 \\32/8=4[/tex]
B) With the information given above, we can say that the best class is A.

A soft drink machine outputs a mean of 29 ounces per cup. The machine's output is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 4 ounces. What is the probability of filling a cup between 33 and 35 ounces? Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer:
0.8919 = 89.19% probability of filling a cup between 33 and 35 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
A soft drink machine outputs a mean of 29 ounces per cup. The machine's output is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 4 ounces.
This means that [tex]\mu = 29, \sigma = 4[/tex]
What is the probability of filling a cup between 33 and 35 ounces?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 35 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 33.
X = 35
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{35 - 29}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9332.
X = 33
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{33 - 29}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0413.
0.9332 - 0.0413 = 0.8919
0.8919 = 89.19% probability of filling a cup between 33 and 35 ounces.

Fy(Y) = [tex]\int\limits^2_y {\frac{xy}{2} } \, dx[/tex]
∴ probability density of Y = y - y^3/4
b) Determine the expected values of X and Y
E(X) = 32/20
E(Y) = 64 /60

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 444 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 41 bag sample had a mean of 440 grams with a variance of 441. Assume the population is normally distributed. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Specify the type of hypothesis test.
Answer:
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_0: \mu = 444[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1: \mu < 444[/tex]
The p-value of the test is 0.1148 > 0.05, which means that the sample does not give enough evidence to conclude that the machine is underfilling the bags.
Step-by-step explanation:
A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 444 gram setting.
At the null hypothesis, we test if the machine works correctly, that is, the mean is of 444. So
[tex]H_0: \mu = 444[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if they are underfilling, that is, if the mean is of less than 444. So
[tex]H_1: \mu < 444[/tex]
The test statistic is:
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
444 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 444[/tex]
A 41 bag sample had a mean of 440 grams with a variance of 441.
This means that [tex]n = 41, X = 440, s = \sqrt{441} = 21[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{440 - 444}{\frac{21}{\sqrt{41}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = -1.22[/tex]
P-value of the test:
Right-tailed test(test if the mean is less than a value), with 41 - 1 = 40 df and t = -1.22.
Using a t-distribution calculator, this p-value is of 0.1148
The p-value of the test is 0.1148 > 0.05, which means that the sample does not give enough evidence to conclude that the machine is underfilling the bags.
A game consists of tossing three coins. If all three coins land on heads, then the player wins $75. If all three coins land on tails, then the player wins $45. Otherwise, the player wins nothing. On average, how much should a player expect to win each game
Answer:
On average, a player should expect to win $15.
Step-by-step explanation:
The expected value in an event with outcomes:
x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ
Each with probability:
p₁, ..., pₙ
is given by:
Ev = x₁*p₁ + ... +xₙ*pₙ
In this case we have 3 outcomes:
player wins $75 = x₁
player wins $45 = x₂
player does not win = x₃
Let's find the probabilities of these events.
player wins $75)
Here we must have the 3 coins landing on heads, so there is only one possible outcome to win $75
While the total number of outcomes for tossing 3 coins, is the product between the number of outcomes for each individual event (where the individual events are tossing each individual coin, each one with 2 outcomes)
Then the number total of outcomes is:
C = 2*2*2 = 8
Then the probability of winning $75 is the quotient between the number of outcomes to win (only one) and the total number of outcomes (8)
p₁ = 1/8
Win $45:
This happens if the 3 coins land on tails, so is exactly equal to the case above, and the probability is the same:
p₂ = 1/8
Not wining:
Remember that:
p₁ + p₂ + ... + pₙ = 1
Then for this case, we must have:
p₁ + p₂ + p₃ = 1
1/8 + 1/8 + p₃ = 1
p₃ = 1 - 1/8 - 1/8
p₃ = 6/8
Then the expected value will be:
Ev = $75*1/8 + $45*1/8 + $0*6/8 = $15
On average, a player should expect to win $15.
