Do oddsmakers believe that teams who play at home will have home field advantage? Specifically, do oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games? Two samples were randomly

Answers

Answer 1

Complete question is;

Do oddsmakers believe that teams who play at home will have home field advantage? Specifically, do oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games?

Two samples were randomly selected from three complete National Football League seasons (1989, 1990, and 1991). The first sample consisted of 50 games, where the favored team played in a home game, while the second sample consisted of 50 games, where the favored team played in an away game. The oddsmakers’ point spreads (which are the number of points by which the favored team is predicted to beat the weaker team) were then collected.

If µ1 and µ2 represent the mean point spread for home games and away games, respectively, which of the following is the appropriate.

A) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 < 0

B) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 < μ2

C) H0: μ1 - μ2 > 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 = 0

D) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 > 0

E) None of the above

Answer:

D) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find out if oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games.

Now, since µ1 and µ2 represent the mean point spread for home games and away games, respectively;

It means we want to find out if µ1 > µ2 as the alternative hypothesis.

Thus, alternative hypothesis is;

Ha: µ1 - µ2 > 0

Meanwhile null hypothesis assumes that equal point spreads are given when the favored team plays home games as well as when the favored team plays away games.

Thus, null hypothesis is;

H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

The only correct option is D.

➯Question:

The product of two numbers is 10000. If one number is 16 times the other numbers ,find the two numbers.

Answer:

Both numbers are 25 and 400.

Step By Step Explanation:

Given that:

The product of two numbers is 10000.

One number is 16 times the other number.

To Find:

Both numbers?

Solution:

Let us consider that one number be n, in question it is stated that other number is 16 times the first number. Therefore, other number is 16n.

According to the Question :

[tex]\sf↦ Product ~of ~numbers = 10000\\\\↦ n × 16n = 10000\\\\↦ 16n² = 10000\\\\↦ n² = \sf \dfrac{10000}{16}\\\\↦ \sf n = \sqrt{\dfrac{10000}{16}}\\\\↦ \sf n = \sqrt{\dfrac{100\:\times\:100}{4\:\times\:4}}\\\\↦ \sf n = {\cancel{\dfrac{100}{4}}}\\\\➦\pmb{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{n = 25}}}}}[/tex]

Hence,

1st number = n = 25

2nd number = 16n = 16 × 25 = 400

∴ Hence, both numbers are 25 and 400.

Answer:

(25, 400) or (-25, - 400)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

We have:

y = 16xxy = 10000

Substitute y and solve for x:

x(16x) = 1000016x² = 10000x² = 10000/16x² = 625x = √625x = ± 25

Then y is:

y = ± 25*16 = ± 400

The numbers are:

i have 17 coins. N of them are nickels and the rest are dimes. write an expression in two different ways for the amount of money that i have

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(N)0.05 + (17-N)0.1 = M; M = amount of money I have.

Or 1.7-0.05N = M.

An expression two different ways to  the amount of money is equals to

1. 5N + 10 (17 -N)  = Y cents

2. N + 2(17 - N) = Y nickels

What is amount?

" Amount is defined as the total of any given quantity."

According to the question,

Total number of coins = 17

Number of nickels coins = N

Number of dimes coin = 17 - N

'Y' express the amount of money

Represent amount of money in cents

1 dime = 10 cents

1 nickel = 5 cents

Expression to represents amount of money in cents,

5N + 10 (17 -N)  = Y cents

Expression to represents amount of money in nickels,

1 dime = 2 nickel

N + 2(17 - N) = Y nickels

Hence, an expression two different ways to  the amount of money is equals to

1. 5N + 10 (17 -N)  = Y cents

2. N + 2(17 - N) = Y nickels

Answer:

(i) 7/10

(ii) 3/10

(iii) 1/5

(iv) Rs 40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of the salary spent on food = 1/2

The fraction of the salary spent on rented house fee = 1/5

(i) The fraction spent for both food and rental fee = (1/2) + (1/5) = (5 + 2)/10 = 7/10

(ii) The remainder (rest) of the salary = 1 - 7/10 = 3/10

The fraction of the remainder spent for children's education = 1/3

The fraction of the total salary spent for the children's education = (1/3) × (3/10) = 1/10

(iii) The remaining portion deposited in the bank = 1 - (1/10 + 7/10)) = 2/10 = 1/5

(iv) The amount equal to portion of 1/5 of his salary deposited in the bank is Rs 8000

Let x represent his whole salary, we have;

(1/5) × x = Rs 8,000

x = 5 × Rs 8,000 = Rs 40,000

16. By accident, 6 burned out bulbs have been mixed in with 16 good ones, Ken is replacing old bulbs in his house. If he selects two bulbs at random from the box of 22, what is the
probability they both work?

Answers

Answer: 8/11

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because there are a total of 22 bulbs. 16 of those bulbs work, giving us the fraction: 16/22. If you simplify 16/22 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, you get 8/11.

Answer:  Choice C)  40/77

=================================================

Explanation:

There are 16 working bulbs out of 6+16 = 22 bulbs total.

The probability of randomly selecting a working bulb is 16/22

After that first bulb is selected and not put back, the probability of randomly selecting another working bulb is 15/21. Take note that I subtracted 1 from each part of the original fraction.

So we get the answer of

(16/22)*(15/21) = 240/462 = 40/77 which is choice C.

------------

Extra info:

Choice A is only true if Ken puts the first selection back. You would compute (16/22)*(16/22) = 64/121. However, it sounds like he's not doing replacement. So whatever is selected is not put back. This is why I ruled out choice A.Choice B is ruled out as well because 16/22 = 8/11 refers to the probability of one working bulb (instead of 2 in a row)It's not clear how the fraction of choice D is formed, but we can rule it out because choice C is the answer.

Answers

For a geometric sequence

a, ar, ar ², ar ³, …

the n-th term in the sequence is ar ⁻ ¹.

The first sequence is

1, 3, 9, 27, …

so it's clear that a = 1 and r = 3, and so the n-th term is 3 ⁻ ¹.

The second sequence is

400, 200, 100, 50, …

so of course a = 400, and you can easily solve for r :

200 = 400r   ==>   r = 200/400 = 1/2

Then the n-th term is 400 (1/2) ⁻ ¹.

Similarly, the other sequences are given by

3rd: … 4 × 2 ⁻ ¹

4th: … 400 (1/4) ⁻ ¹

Answers

38,250

Step-by-step explanation:

Its a 15% discount so youre only paying 85% of the original 45,000. You then multiply 45,000 by .85 to find what youre paying because the decimal version of 85% is .85. You can find the decimal version of a percentage by dividing the percentage by 100; 85/100=.85. Once you multiply 45,000 by .85 you get 38,250.

Answers

Answer:  x = 9

=======================================================

Explanation:

The smaller angles HGE and EGF combine to form the largest angle HGF.

This is an example of the angle addition postulate.

(angle HGE) + (angle EGF) = angle HGF

(3x+11) + (110) = 16x+4

3x+121 = 16x+4

121-4 = 16x-3x

117 = 13x

13x = 117

x = 117/13

x = 9 which is the final answer

We can stop here.

--------------------

Extra info (optional section)

Use this x value to find each angle shown below

angle HGE = 3x+11 = 3*9+11 = 27+11 = 38 degreesangle HGF = 16x+4 = 16*9+4 = 144+4 = 148 degrees

Then notice how,

(angle HGE)+(angle EGF) = 38+110 = 148

which is exactly the measure of angle HGF

This confirms that the equation

(angle HGE) + (angle EGF) = angle HGF

is true for that x value of x = 9. Therefore, the answer is confirmed.

The diagram shows three points P, Q and R on horizontal ground.
PQ = 50 m, PR = 100 m and angie PQR = 140°.
Calculate angle PRO.

Answers

Answer:

m<PQR = 18.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Law of Sines,

[tex] \frac{Sin A}{a} = \frac{Sin B}{b} [/tex]

Where,

Sin A = Sin 140

a = 100 m

Sin B = Sin R (<PRQ)

b = 50 m

Substitute

[tex] \frac{Sin 140}{100} = \frac{Sin R}{50} [/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex] 100*Sin(R) = 50*Sin(140) [/tex]

Divide both sides by 100

[tex] Sin(R) = \frac{50*Sin(140)}{100} [/tex]

[tex] Sin(R) = 0.32139 [/tex]

[tex] R = Sin^{-1}(0.32139) [/tex]

R ≈ 18.7° (nearest tenth)

m<PQR = 18.7°

The angle PRO is 1.7 degrees.

Given that,

The diagram shows three points P, Q, and R on horizontal ground.

PQ = 50 m, PR = 100 m and angle PQR = 140°.

We have to determine,

The angle PRO.

According to the question,

The value of angle PRO is determined by using the sin rule-following all the steps given below.

[tex]\rm \dfrac{sina}{a} = \dfrac{sinb}{b}[/tex]

Where,  Sin A = Sin 140 , a = 100 m , Sin B = Sin R (<PRQ) , b = 50 m

Substitute all the values in the formula,

[tex]\rm \dfrac{sin140}{100} = \dfrac{sinR}{50}\\\\ \dfrac{0.64}{100} = \dfrac{sinR}{50}\\\\0.0064 = \dfrac{sinR}{50}\\\\0.0064 \times 50 = sinR\\\\0.321 = sinR\\\\R = sin{-1}(0.321)\\\\R = 18.7 \ degree[/tex]

Hence, The angle PRO is 1.7 degrees.

3 Answers: Choice B, C, and D

Basically, everything except choice A.

=========================================================

Explanation:

All exponential functions can be written into the form y = a*b^x

The b term determines if we have growth or decay.

If 0 < b < 1, then we have decay. If b > 1, then we have growth.

------------

For choice A, we have b = 1.7 which satisfies b > 1. This represents growth. So we cross choice A off the list.

Choice B looks almost identical since it appears b = 1.7 here as well, but note the negative exponent. It might help to rewrite choice B into y = 3( 1.7^(-2) )^x and note how b = (1.7)^(-2) = 0.346 approximately. This represents decay.

Choice C has b = 1/3 = 0.33 approximately which is also decay.

Finally, choice D has b = 2^(-1) = 1/(2^1) = 1/2 = 0.5 which is also decay.

Choices B through D have b values such that 0 < b < 1.

------------

Check out the graph below. It visually confirms the answers mentioned earlier. A growth function goes uphill as we move to the right, while a decay function moves downhill while moving to the right.
