Answers

Answer:

316.08 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 feet in a yard, and there is 12 inches in 1 foot, so there are 36 inches in one yard. If there is 8 7/9 yards it is the same at 8.78 yards, and  8.78 x 36 = 316.08 inches. Therefore 8 7/9 yards = 316.08 inches.

Given a sample of 35, what is the sample standard deviation of a pair of jeans if the 90% confidence interval is [37.14, 42.86]

Answers

Answer:

10.295

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the value for calculating the confidence interval as given;

CI = xbar + Z*σ/√n

xbar  is the mean = 37.14+42.86/2

xbar= 80/2

xbar = 40

Z is the z-score at the 90% confidence = 1.645

σ is the standard deviation

n is the sample size = 35

Given the confidence interval CI as [37.14, 42.86]

Using  the maximum value of the confidence interval to get the value of the standard deviation, we will have;

42.86 =  xbar + Z*σ/√n

42.86 = 40 + 1.645* σ/√35

42.86-40 = 1.645*σ/√35

2.86 = 1.645*σ/√35

2.86/1.645 = σ/√35

1.739 = σ/√35

1.739 = σ/5.92

σ= 1.739*5.92

σ = 10.295

Hence, the sample standard deviation of a pair of jeans is 10.295

If the null hypothesis is true in a chi-square test, discrepancies between observed and expected frequencies will tend to be

Answers

Answer:

If the null hypothesis is true in a chi-square test, discrepancies between observed and expected frequencies will tend to be small enough to qualify as a common outcome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we want to state what will happen if the null hypothesis is true in a chi-square test.

If the null hypothesis is true in a chi-square test, discrepancies between observed and expected frequencies will tend to be small enough to qualify as a common outcome.

This is because at a higher level of discrepancies, there will be a strong evidence against the null. This means that it will be rare to find discrepancies if null was true.

In the question however, since the null is true, the discrepancies we will be expecting will thus be small and common.

How many multiples of 4, that are smaller than 1,000, do not contain any of the digits 6, 7, 8, 9 or 0? I really need a answer.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We could start by listing multiples of 4 and looking for patterns. Do  

you know what a multiple of a number is?  It's that number multiplied  

by another number. So the first multiple of 4 is 4x1, the second  

multiple of 4 is 4x2=8, the third multiple of 4 is 4x3=12, etc.  

Let's make a table of multiples of 4 from 1 to 100, with columns A-E  

across the top and rows 1-5 down the left-hand side:

    A      B      C      D      E

1    4      8     12     16     20

2   24     28     32     36     40

3   44     48     52     56     60

4   64     68     72     76     80

5   84     88     92     96    100

Now let's look at these multiples, remembering that there will be nine  

more tables like this one from 101-1000.

Let's look for 6,7,8,9, and 0 in the columns first. Aha! We can erase  

all of columns B, D, and E because there's a 6 or an 8 or a 0 in each  

number in those columns.  Now we're left with just:

    A      C  

1    4     12  

2   24     32  

3   44     52  

4   64     72  

5   84     92  

Now let's look at the rows. Wow! We can eliminate rows 4 and 5 because  

they have 6, 7, 8, or 9, leaving:

    A      C  

1    4     12  

2   24     32  

3   44     52  

Just 6 numbers left!

So if from 1-100 there are 6 multiples of four that do not contain any  

of the digits 6, 7, 8, 9, or 0, how many multiples of four like this  

are there from 1-1000?

the sum of the prime divisors of 2001 is a) 55, b) 56, c) 670, d) 671, e) 2001

Answers

Answer:

Option  A

Step-by-step explanation:

2001 can be divided by 3, 23, and 29 without remainders. This means that the three numbers are prime divisors of 2001.

2001/3 = 667

2001/23 = 87

2001/29 = 69

The sum of the prime divisors is 55.

3 + 23 + 29 = 55

Option A should be the correct answer.

A low-noise transistor for use in computing products is being developed. It is claimed that the mean noise level will be below the 2.5-dB level of products currently in use. It is believed that the noise level is approximately normal with a standard deviation of .8. find 95% CI

Answers

Answer:

The 95% CI is   [tex]2.108 < \mu < 2.892[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  population mean [tex]\mu = 2.5[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 0.8[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level of confidence is mathematically evaluated as

          [tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]

   =>  [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]

  =>    [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the values is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as

          [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

here we would assume that the sample size is  n =  16 since the person that posted the question did not include the sample size

  So    

               [tex]E = 1.96* \frac{0.8}{\sqrt{16} }[/tex]

               [tex]E = 0.392[/tex]

The  95% CI is mathematically represented as

              [tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]2.5 - 0.392 < \mu < 2.5 + 0.392[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]2.108 < \mu < 2.892[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we set up our equation like this:

7x - 7 = 4x + 14

Next, we subtract 4x from the right side to cancel it out and then subtract 4x from the left side.

7x (-4x) - 7 = 4x (-4x) + 14

3x - 7 = 14

Then, we add 7 on both sides (to cancel the -7 out and place it on the right)

3x - 7 (+7) = 14 + 7

3x = 21

Finally, we divide both sides by 3 to isolate our variable, x.

3x ÷ 3 = x

21 ÷ 3 = 7

Our final answer: x = 7

Convert the polar equation to an equivalent rectangular equation:

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer will be option b

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that x = rcos( θ ), and y = rsin( θ ), so let's rewrite this polar equation.

r = 4( x / r ) + 2( y / r ),

r = 4x / r + 2y / r,

r = 4x + 2y / r,

r / 1 = 4x + 2y / r ( Cross - Multiply )

4x + 2y = r²

We also know that r² = x² + y², so let's substitute.

x² + y² = 4x + 2y,

x² - 4x - 2y + y² = 0,

B. A study measuring differences in attitudes about morality among Democrats and Republicans.
C. An experiment measuring differences in brain activity among rats placed on either a continuous reward schedule (rewarded every time behavior is exhibited) or an intermittent reward schedule (rewarded after every few times behavior is exhibited).

Answers

Answer:

A) one-sample t-test

B) two sample t-test

C) two sample t-test

Step-by-step explanation: The one - sample t-test is used to determine the existence of a statistical difference between a sample mean and a given population mean. The one sample t test is only capable of making comparison between a singular sample mean and an established value. Such is the case in (A) where the aim is to determine if a group of night workers sleep for 8 hours.

The other two cases however, involves making comparison between the sample means of two different groups, this requires the use of a two independent sample t-test

For a one-sample t test:

(Sample mean - population mean) / standard error.

Sample mean = s

Population mean = p

Sample size = n

For a two sample t-test :

[(s2 - s1) - (p2 - p1)] ÷ √[(sd1^2/n1) + (sd2^2/n2)]

C. Zeros at x = 2 and x = 3

D. The zeros are the hot dog prices that give $0.00 profit (no profit).

Answers

Answer:

D. The zeros are the hot dog prices that give $0.00 profit (no profit).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function  y=-2(x-3)² + 4

The zeros of the function are the points at which the graph of the function crosses the x axis if plotted. y is the daily profit (in hundreds of dollars) and x is the price of the hot dog. To find the zeros, we substitute x = 0 and solve.

Therefore:  y=2(x-3)² + 4

0 = 2(x-3)² + 4

-2(x² - 6x + 9) + 4 = 0

-2x² + 12x - 18 + 4 = 0

2x² - 12x + 18 - 4 = 0

2x² - 12x + 14 = 0

2(x² - 6x + 7) = 0

x² - 6x + 7 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation gives:

x = 3 + √2 and x = 3 - √2

This means that the graph crosses x at 3 + √2 and 3 - √2.

The zeros of the function are 3 + √2 and 3 - √2. The zeros of the function is the point where y = 0, that is the point that the hot dog prices that give $0.00 profit (no profit).

Answer: A. The sampling follows a normal distribution.

              B. Between 25.14 and 30.86

              C. About 95% will contain the true mean and about 5% won't

Step-by-step explanation: A. The sampling is normally distributed because:

it has a symmetric bell shape, mean and median are both the same and located at the center of graphic, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation;95% falls within two standard deviations;99.7% within 3 standard deviations;

B. For a 95% confidence interval: α/2 = 0.025

Since n = 210, use z-score = 1.96

To calculate the interval:

mean ± [tex]z.\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

Replacing for the values given:

28 ± [tex]1.96.\frac{21}{\sqrt{210} }[/tex]

28 ± [tex]1.96*1.45[/tex]

28 ± 2.84

lower limit: 28 - 2.84 = 25.14

upper limit: 28 + 2.84 = 30.86

Confidence Interval is between 25.14 and 30.86.

C. Confidence Interval at a certain percentage is an interval of values that contains the true mean with a percentage of confidence. In the case of number of times per day students text, 95% of the interval will contain the true mean, while 5% will not contain it.

Answer:

Even set = {HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that three coins are tossed; the result is at most one head.

And we have to find the sets of elements that are included in the sample space.

Firstly, as we know that when three coins are tossed, the total number of cases formed is 8.

Let Head on the coin be represented by 'H' and the Tail on the coin be represented by 'T'.

So, the sample space so formed is;

S = {HHH, HTH, HHT, THH, THT, TTH, HTT, TTT}

Now, our event is at most one head. So, the sample space for the favorable event is given by;

Even set = {HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

In this, three cases are of head occurring only once and one case is of head not appearing in three tosses of a coin.

            [tex]\alpha = (100 - 90)\%[/tex]

           [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

The  critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the  normal distribution table is  

          [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

            [tex]E = ZZ_{ \frac{x}{y} } * \frac{\sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]

             [tex]E = 1.645 * \frac{9.96}{ \sqrt{ 48} }[/tex]

             [tex]E = 2.365[/tex]

The  90% confidence interval is  

       [tex]\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E[/tex]

=>    [tex]110.53 - 2.365 < \mu < 110.53 + 2.365[/tex]

=>    [tex]108.165 < \mu < 112.895[/tex]

Considering second question

  Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

            [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95)\%[/tex]

           [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

The  critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the  normal distribution table is  

          [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

            [tex]E = Z_{ \frac{x}{y} } * \frac{\sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]

             [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{9.96}{ \sqrt{ 48} }[/tex]

             [tex]E = 2.8177[/tex]

The  95% confidence interval is  

       [tex]\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E[/tex]

=>    [tex]110.53 - 2.8177 < \mu < 110.53 + 2.8177[/tex]

=>    [tex]107.7123 < \mu < 113.3477[/tex]

A Three-Point Turn Chapter 1 "You know, hardly anyone ever needs to do a three-point turn anymore," said Justin, trying to help Becky calm down. "Oh, so it's not a useful skill AND I am probably going to fail the driving test because I can't do it anyway," Becky said, raising her voice for emphasis. "That should make me feel like a million bucks when I flunk." Justin was riding with Becky so she could take her driving test. He had volunteered for the job because he thought she would be less nervous with him than with their mom, but so far, he wasn't sure he was making any difference. "Slow down, your turn is coming up here," he said, looking ahead. "I know, I know," she replied, "I've been here before rememberthe last time I flunked." Justin was pretty sure if he had let her miss the turn, things would only have deteriorated further, but he wasn't sure he was fond of being the scapegoat for Becky's anxiety. "Listen, you need to take a few deep breaths," he said, hoping he could help her at least relax a bit. "Being nervous won't help you with the three-point turn or anything else you have to do. Hey, did you just take that turn without your turn signal on?" This was going to be harder than he thought. "Stop yelling at me," Becky replied, clearly frustrated, "I can't concentrate." "Look, you need to stop and get yourself together here," Justin started. "It is not just about passing the driving test. I don't want to get in an accident, so pull into that parking lot." Becky drove into the office building's parking lot where Justin was pointing. Justin knew they were less than a mile from the licensing office, and if she continued in this condition, he'd be having this same discussion three months from now when she tried the test again for the third time. "You need to get a grip," he started after she put the car in park, "because you have studied and practiced driving all year. You know this stuff inside and out, backwards and forwards. What are you so nervous about?" "I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing." Listening quietly as Becky sobbed, Justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. He also knew if he didn't find a way to help Becky things would just get worse. Chapter 2 Justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-A student. It was Justin who got the bad grades in school, and Justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. It was Justin who wished he could get the grades Becky got. Some things came easier for Justin: He was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. Mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. But for the most part, Becky succeeded easily, whereas Justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade. Rather than having Becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed. "Okay, Becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. What is the worst thing that could happen?" he asked. "I would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. Justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan. "Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?" he asked. "Yes, but..." she started. "And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?" "Yes," she said quietly. "So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?" "I suppose not," she said. Justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "Besides," he said, "I would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm. "Ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt." "So let's go do this, okay? "Okay," she said. Becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. Justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal.
