Determine whether the statement (p∧(p⟶q))⟶q is a tautology one time by using truth table and the other time without using truth table
Answers
It is.........................................................
One way to prove this without a truth table is to use a conditional proof. We assume the portion p ^ (p --> q). If that's true, then so is p and p-->q
Using p and p-->q, the modus ponens rule allows us to derive q. It says that if p is true and p --> q, then q must be true as well.
Since we arrive at q, we have found the conclusion we're after. The assumption (p ^ (p-->q)) leads to q, and therefore the entire statement (p ^ (p-->q)) --> q is true for any combination of p,q.

Angela took a general aptitude test and scored in the 90th percentile for aptitude in accounting. (a) What percentage of the scores were at or below her score? % (b) What percentage were above?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information;
Angela took a general aptitude test and scored in the 90th percentile for aptitude in accounting.
What percentage of the scores were at or below her score?
The percentage of scores that were at or below her score is
Percentage P = 90%
This benchmark is more than average, so we can typically say more of the scores were at or below her score
What percentage were above?
Since The percentage of scores that were at or below her score is
Percentage P = 90%
Then the percentage of the scores that were above will be : (100 -90)%
= 10 %
We can see here that less percentage of score were above Angela's Score.
The points (0,3) and (1,12) are solutions of an exponential function. What is the equation of the exponential function?
Answers
Answer:
[tex]f(x) =3\,*\,\,4^x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the equation of an exponential function, just points on the function's graph are needed.
Recall that the exponential function has a general expression given by:
[tex]f(x) = a \,e^{b\,x}[/tex]
so we impose the condition for the function going through the first point (0,3) as:
[tex]f(0) = a \,e^{b\,(0)}= 3\\a\,e^0=3\\a\,(1)=3\\a = 3[/tex]
Now,knowing the parameter a, we can find the parameter b using the other point:
[tex]f(1) = 3 \,e^{b\,x}= 12\\3\,e^{b\,(1)}=12\\e^b=12/3\\e^b=4\\b=ln(4)[/tex]
Therefore, the function can be written as:
[tex]f(x) = 3 \,e^{ln(4)\,x}=3\,\,\,4^x[/tex]

Reducing scrap of 4-foot planks of hardwood is an important factor in reducing cost at a wood-floor manufacturing company. Accordingly, engineers at Lumberworks are investigating a potential new cutting method involving lateral sawing that may reduce the scrap rate. To examine its viability, two independent, random, representative samples of planks were examined. One sample contained 200 planks which were sawed using the old method. The other sample contained 400 planks which were sawed using the new method. Sixty-two of the 200 planks were scrapped under the old method of sawing, whereas 36 of the 400 planks were scrapped under the new method.
Required:
a. Construct the 90% confidence interval for the difference between the population scrap rates between the old and new methods, respectively.
b. Write the null and alternative hypotheses to test for differences in the population scrap rates between the old and new cutting methods, respectively.
c. Using the part a results, can we conclude at the 10% significance level that the scrap rate of the new method is different than the old method?
Answers
Answer:
The critical value for two tailed test at alpha=0.1 is ± 1.645
The calculated z= 9.406
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulate the hypotheses as
H0: p1= p2 there is no difference between the population scrap rates between the old and new cutting methods
Ha : p1≠ p2
Choose the significance level ∝= 0.1
The critical value for two tailed test at alpha=0.1 is ± 1.645
The test statistic is
Z = [tex]\frac{p_1- p_2}\sqrt pq(\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2})[/tex]
p1= scrap rate of old method = 62/200=0.31
p2= scrap rate of new method = 36/400= 0.09
p = an estimate of the common scrap rate on the assumption that the two rates are same.
p = n1p1+ n2p2/ n1 + n2
p =200 (0.31) + 400 (0.09) / 600
p= 62+ 36/600= 98/600 =0.1633
now q = 1-p= 1- 0.1633= 0.8367
Thus
z= 0.31- 0.09/ √0.1633*0.8367( 1/200 + 1/400)
z= 0.301/√ 0.13663( 3/400)
z= 0.301/0.0320
z= 9.406
The calculated value of z falls in the critical region therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the 10% significance level that the scrap rate of the new method is different from the old method.

Note:
The triangle shown is an isosceles triangle, which means that it has 2 congruent sides (as shown by the small intersecting lines), and this also means that it has two congruent angles.
We are given an angle measure adjacent to one of the missing angles. These two form supplementary angles, which means that they're sum is equal to 180°, or a straight line. So, to find:
[tex]180=135+y[/tex]
y is the unknown angle. Solve for y:
[tex]180-135=y\\\\y=45[/tex]
y is 45°. Since this and the other angle are congruent, add:
[tex]45+45=90[/tex]
Note:
Triangles angles will always add up to a total of 180°.
To find the missing angle x°, use:
[tex]180=a+b+c[/tex]
These are the angles in a triangle. Substitute any known values and solve:
[tex]180=45+45+x\\\\180=90+x\\\\180-90=x\\\\x=90[/tex]
The missing angle x° is 90°.

A random variable is not normally distributed, but it is mound shaped. It has a mean of 14 and a standard deviation of 3. If you take a sample of size 10, can you say what the shape of the sampling distribution for the sample mean is
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
from the question,
the mean 14
the standard deviation is 3
and sample size is 10.
since the n which is the sample size is 10, then the distribution is mound shaped.
why?
this is due to the fact that the random variable from which we took the sample is mound shaped.
The sampling distribution of the mean is normally distributed although the question says the random variable is not normally distributed. so the shape is bell shaped and normally distributed.
the standard deviation of the mean is
3/√10
= 0.948

A random sample of 149 recent donations at a certain blood bank reveals that 76 were type A blood. Does this suggest that the actual percentage of type A donations differs from 40%, the percentage of the population having type A blood? Carry out a test of appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.01. Would your conclusion have been different if a significance level of 0.05 has been used?
Answers
Answer:
Yes it suggest that the actual percentage of type A donations differs from 40%, the percentage of the population having type A blood.
Well if a significance level of 0.05 is used it will not affect the conclusion
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is [tex]n = 149[/tex]
The number that where type A blood is k = 76
The population proportion is [tex]p = 0.40[/tex]
The significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as
[tex]\r p = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]
=> [tex]\r p = \frac{76}{149}[/tex]
=> [tex]\r p = 0.51[/tex]
The Null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p = 0.41[/tex]
The Alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : p \ne 0.40[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] from the z-table.The value is
[tex]Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.01} = 1.28[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\r p - p }{ \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{0.51 - 0.40 }{ \sqrt{ \frac{0.40 (1-0.40 )}{149} } }[/tex]
[tex]t =2.74[/tex]
So looking at the values for t and [tex]Z_{0.01}[/tex] we see that [tex]t > Z_{0.01}[/tex] so we reject the null hypothesis. Which means that there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim
Now if [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex] , the from the z-table the critical value for [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex] is [tex]Z_{0.05} = 1.645[/tex]
So comparing the value of t and [tex]Z_{0.05} = 1.645[/tex] we see that [tex]t > Z_{0.05}[/tex] hence the conclusion would not be different.
If A and B are independent events with P( A) = 0.35 and P( B) = 0.55, then P( A| B) is:_________.
a. .19
b. 1.57
c. .64
d. .91
Answers
Answer:
P( A| B)= 0.35. None of the options are correctStep-by-step explanation:
Two events A and B are said to be independent if the occurrence of one of the events does not affect the other occurring. For example, the event of tossing two coins is an independent event since they occur simultaneously. Two events are therefore independent if the following are true.
P(A|B) = P(A)
P(B|A) = P(B)
P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)
If A and B are independent events with P( A) = 0.35 and P( B) = 0.55,
then P( A| B) is a probability of A occurring provided that B has occurred. This is known as conditional probability for an independent event.
From the condition above for independent events, P(A|B) = P(A) and since P(A) = 0.35, hence P(A|B) =0.35

Cohen's D
Step-by-step explanation:
Cohen's D is a statistic that measures effect size. It shows standardised difference between 2 means.
Effect size is defined as how large the effect of a something is or its magnitude.
Cohen's D works effectively when the sample is >50 (that is for large samples). However a correction factor can be used to make results from small samples more accurate

Please help me solve for the median !!!
Answers
Answer:
50.93
Step-by-step explanation:
Add up the frequencies:
2 + 5 + 14 + 15 + 21 + 18 + 15 + 9 + 2 = 101
Divide by 2: 101/2 = 50.5
So the median is the 51st number, with 50 below and 50 above.
Add up the frequencies until you find the interval that contains the 51st number.
2 + 5 + 14 + 15 = 36
2 + 5 + 14 + 15 + 21 = 57
So the median is in the group 49.5 − 51.5. To estimate the median, we use interpolation. Find the slope of the line from (36, 49.5) to (57, 51.5).
m = (51.5 − 49.5) / (57 − 36)
m = 2/21
So at x = 51:
2/21 = (y − 49.5) / (51 − 36)
y = 50.93

When traveling with the wind, it takes an airplane 3 hours to travel 1800 miles. It takes the same airplane 3.6 hours to travel the same 1800 miles when traveling against the wind. Assuming the airplane travels at a constant speed during both trips, what is the speed of the airplane and the speed of the wind?
Answers
Answer:
The speed of the airplane in still air is 550 mph.
The speed of the wind is 50 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = distance / time
distance = speed * time
or simply
d = st
Let v be the speed of the airplane with no wind.
Let w = speed of wind
With the wind:
d = 1800; s = v + w; t = 3
1800 = 3(v + w)
Against the wind:
d = 1800; s = v - w; t = 3.6
1800 = 3.6(v - w)
We have a system of two equations:
3(v + w) = 1800
3.6(v - w) = 1800
Divide both sides of the first equation by 3. Divide both sides of the second equation by 3.6.
v + w = 600
v - w = 500
Add the equations.
2v = 1100
v = 550
The speed of the airplane in still air is 550 mph.
v + w = 600
550 + w = 600
w = 50
The speed of the wind is 50 mph.

Answer:
32.8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy is driving to Seattle. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of her driving time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95. See the figure below. Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving. How many miles will be remaining after 47 minutes of driving?
Answer: The general equation of a line is given as y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis. Given that the slope is -0.95, substituting in the general equation :
y = -0.95x + c
Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving, to find c, we substitute y = 48 and x = 31. Therefore:
48 = -0.95(31) + c
c = 48 + 0.95(31)
c = 48 + 29.45
c = 77.45
The equation of the line is
y = -0.95x + 77.45
After 47 minutes of driving, the miles remaining can be gotten by substituting x = 47 and finding y.
y = -0.95(47) + 77.45
y = -44.65 + 77.45
y = 32.8 miles

A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 407 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 20 bag sample had a mean of 397 grams with a standard deviation of 13. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Answers
Answer:
Null hypothesis: μ = 407
Alternative hypothesis: μ < 407.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, the machine is SUPPOSED to fill the bag so that the bag weighs 407 grams. So, the null hypothesis will be that the machine is doing what it is supposed to be doing. And so, μ = 407 grams would be the null.
The worker thinks the machine is filling the bags to LESS THAN what it is supposed to. So, the alternative hypothesis is that the machine is NOT doing what it is supposed to and μ < 407 grams.

Among the 158 patients given the placebo, 35 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment. Use a significance level to test the claim that the oxygen treatment is effective. A) Find test statistic z B) Find the P-value C) Construct the appropriate confidence interval D) determine if the oxygen treatment is effective
Answers
Answer:
A
[tex]t = 10.1[/tex]
B
[tex]p-value = p(t > 10.1)= 0.000[/tex]
C
[tex]0.4714 < p_1 - p_2 <0.6988[/tex]
D
The oxygen treatment is effective because
1 the is no 0 in the interval telling us that the treatments are different
2 the upper and the lower limit are positive tell us that the proportion of those treated by the oxygen treatment is greater
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The first sample size is [tex]n_1 = 140[/tex]
The number of patient which the oxygen cured is k = 113
The second sample size is [tex]n_2 = 158[/tex]
The number of patient that placebo cured is l = 35
The first sample proportion is
[tex]\r p_1 = \frac{ 113}{140 }[/tex]
[tex]\r p_1 = 0.8071[/tex]
The second sample proportion is
[tex]\r p_2 = \frac{ 35}{ 158 }[/tex]
[tex]\r p_2 = 0.222[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p_1 = p_2[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : p_1 > p_2[/tex]
Let assume the level of significance be[tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Generally the pooled proportion is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]p = \frac{p1 * n1 + p2 * n2}{n1 + n2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]p = \frac{0.8071 * 140 + 0.222 * 158}{140 + 158}[/tex]
[tex]p = 0.4969[/tex]
Generally the standard error is mathematically represented
[tex]SE = \sqrt{ p(1- p ) * [ \frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_1}] }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]SE = \sqrt{ 0.4969(1- 0.4969 ) * [ \frac{1}{140} + \frac{1}{158}] }[/tex]
[tex]SE = 0.0580[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{ \r p_1 - \r p_2}{ SE}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{ 0.8071 -0.222}{ 0.0580}[/tex]
[tex]t = 10.1[/tex]
The p-value is from the normal distribution table as
[tex]p-value = p(t > 10.1)= 0.000[/tex]
given that [tex]t< \alpha[/tex] the null hypothesis is rejected
From the normal distribution table the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically the represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * SE[/tex]
[tex]E = 1.96 * 0.0580[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.1137[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex](\r p_1 - \r p_2) - E < p_1 - p_2 < (\r p_1 - \r p_2) + E[/tex]
substituting value
[tex](0.8071 - 0.222) - 0.1137 < p_1 - p_2 < (0.8071 - 0.222) + 0.1137[/tex]
[tex]0.4714 < p_1 - p_2 <0.6988[/tex]
The oxygen treatment is effective because
1 the is no 0 in the interval telling us that the treatments are different
2 the upper and the lower limit are positive tell us that the proportion of those treated by the oxygen treatment is greater
