Suppose that 70% of all voters prefer Candidate A. If 4 people are chosen at random for a poll, what is the probability that exactly 1 of them favor Candidate A?

Answers

Answer:

0.0756

Step-by-step explanation:

p(success), p = 70% = 0.7

Nunber of trials, n = 4

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0. 7 = 0.3

x = 1

The question meets the requirements of a binomial probability distribution :

P(x = x) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

P(x = 1) = 4C1 * 0.7^1 * 0.3^(4-1)

P(x = 1) = 4C1 * 0.7 * 0.3^3

P(x = 1) = 4 * 0.7 * 0.027

P(x = 1) = 0.0756

Answer:  45 degrees

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

Work Shown:

We can apply the law of cosines

a^2 = b^2+c^2-2*b*c*cos(A)

(sqrt(5))^2 = (sqrt(2))^2+(3)^2-2*(sqrt(2))*(3)*cos(A)

5 = 2+9-6*(sqrt(2))*cos(A)

5 = 11-6*(sqrt(2))*cos(A)

11-6*(sqrt(2))*cos(A) = 5

-6*(sqrt(2))*cos(A) = 5-11

-6*(sqrt(2))*cos(A) = -6

(sqrt(2))*cos(A) = -6/(-6)

(sqrt(2))*cos(A) = 1

cos(A) = 1/(sqrt(2))

cos(A) = sqrt(2)/2

A = 45 degrees

Use the unit circle for the last step.

A manufacturer of nails claims that only 4% of its nails are defective. A random sample of 20 nails is selected, and it is found that two of them, 10%, are defective. Is it fair to reject the manufacturer's claim based on this observation?

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0853 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim based on this observation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of nails claims that only 4% of its nails are defective.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 4%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.04[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is more than 4%, that is:

[tex]H_a: p > 0.04[/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.

4% is tested at the null hypothesis

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.04, \sigma = \sqrt{0.04*0.96}[/tex]

A random sample of 20 nails is selected, and it is found that two of them, 10%, are defective.

This means that [tex]n = 20, X = 0.1[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.1 - 0.04}{\frac{\sqrt{0.04*0.96}}{\sqrt{20}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.37[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

Considering an standard significance level of 0.05.

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.1, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.37.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.37 has a p-value of 0.9147

1 - 0.9147 = 0.0853

The p-value of the test is 0.0853 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim based on this observation.

A rectangular garden is 5 ft longer than it is wide. Its area is 1800ft^2. What are its dimensions?

Answers

Answer:

The dimensions are 45 feet by 40 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the area of a rectangle is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle A=w\ell[/tex]

Where w is the width and l is the length.

The length is five feet longer than the width. Thus, we can write that:

[tex]\ell = w+5[/tex]

The total area is 1800 square feet. Substitute:

[tex]1800=w(w+5)[/tex]

Solve for w. Distribute:

[tex]w^2+5w=1800[/tex]

Subtract 1800 from both sides:

[tex]w^2+5w-1800=0[/tex]

Factor. We can use 45 and -40. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle (w+45)(w-40)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]w+45=0\text{ or } w-40=0[/tex]

Solve for each case:

[tex]\displaystyle w=-45\text{ or } w=40[/tex]

Since the width cannot be negative, we can ignore the first solution.

So, the width is 40 feet. Since the length is five feet longer, the length is 45 feet.

The dimensions are 45 feet by 40 feet.

Determine whether the following fractions terminate in their decimal form. Show all work and explain your reasoning. YOU CAN NOT USE A CALCULATOR. Try not using long division.

Answers

Answer:

8/22: this fraction will NOT terminate

189/270: this fraction WILL terminate

Step-by-step explanation:

I saw in the question that it says to solve the question by demonstrating the method discussed in class. I don't know what's the method you were taught, but I'll explain how I solved it.

When a fraction is in its simplest form, write out the prime factors of the denominator. If the denominator has 2s and/or 5s, the fraction WILL terminate in their decimal form.

8/22 in its simplest form is 4/11:

The only prime factors of the denominator, 11, are 1 and 11. There are no 2s and/or 5s present, so this fraction will NOT terminate.

189/270 in its simplest form is 7/10.

The prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5, meaning that this fraction WILL terminate.

Given that m∠abc=70° and m∠bcd=110°. Is it possible (consider all cases): Line AB intersects line CD?

Answers

The line AB and CD are parallel. Then it is impossible that the line AB intersects the line CD.

What are parallel lines?

When the distance between the lines is constant, then the lines are called parallel lines. The lines do not intersect when they are separated from each other. And the slope of the lines is equal.

Given that ∠ABC = 70° and ∠BCD = 110°.

Then the line AB and the line CD makes the same angle with the line BC.

Hence, the line AB and CD are parallel.

Then it is impossible that the line AB intersects the line CD.

M H To determine the number of deer in a game preserve, a conservationist catches 412 deer, tags them and lets them loose. Later, 316 deer are caught, 158 of them are tagged. How many deer are in the preserve?​

Answers

Answer:

There are 824 deer in the preserve.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since to determine the number of deer in a game preserve, a conservationist catches 412 deer, tags them and lets them loose, and later, 316 deer are caught, 158 of them are tagged, to determine how many deer are in the preserve you must perform the following calculation:

316 = 100

158 = X

158 x 100/316 = X

50 = X

50 = 412

100 = X

824 = X

Therefore, there are 824 deer in the preserve.

Brady starts off with 12 coins

And buys 6 more coins every year

So add 6 to find number of coins he will have the next year until we've done it five times ( because we want to find how many he will have after 5 years )

12 ( 1st year )

Add 6

12 + 6 = 18 ( 2nd year )

Add 6

18 + 6 = 24 ( 3rd year )

Add 6

24 + 6 = 30 ( 4th year )

Add 6

30 + 6 = 36 ( 5th year )

By the fifth year he will have 36 coins and the sequence would be

12, 18, 24, 30, 36

Which corresponds with answer choice C

2

15, 19, 23, 27, ?

We want to find the next term

To do so we must find the common difference

We can do this by subtracting the last given term by the term before it

27 - 23 = 4

Just to clarify we can do the terms before those

19 - 15 = 4

So the common difference is 4

Now to find the next term we simply add 4 to the last given term

27 + 4 = 31

The next term would be 31

3. Cumulative property of addition states that you can add any 3 numbers in a different order and they will be the same

a + b + 2 = 2 + a + b

24, 1, 2, 12, 6, 4, 3 and 8

The greatest factor that both 18 and 24 have is 6

The GCF would be 6a ( not 6 ) because both numbers share a common variable (a) ( 18a , 24ab )

What is the probability a person admitted to the hospital is paid a malpractice claim (to decimals)

Answers

Full question:

Astudy of 31,000 hospital admissions in New York State found that 4% of the admissions

led to treatment-caused injuries. One-seventh of these treatment-caused injuries resulted in

death, and one-fourth were caused by negligence. Malpractice claims were filed in one out

of 7.5 cases involving negligence, and payments were made in one out of every two claims

What is the probability a person admitted to the hospital is paid a malpractice claim (to decimals)

Answer:

Explanation:

Since 4% of admissions lead to treatment-caused injuries, we have 4/100×31000= 1240 treatment caused injuries for every 31000 people admitted

1/7 resulted in death = 1/7×1240= 177 people die for every 1240 treatment caused injuries

1/4 from negligence= 1/4×1240= 310 people get treatment caused injuries from negligence for every 1240 people

Malpractice claims in one of out of 7.5 cases of negligence= 13.3% of negligence cases= 0.1333×310= 41 claims for every 1240 people with treatment caused injuries

Payments were made in one out of every two claims, therefore payments for claims =50% of 41 cases of negligence= 21 payments(approximately) for every 1240 people with treatment caused injuries

Probability= number of favorable outcomes /total number of outcomes

Probability that a person admitted into the hospital will be paid a claim= 21/31000= 0.000677

Find the minimum score required for an A grade. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

The minimum score required for an A grade is 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given That, A philosophy professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme.

A: Top 12% of scores

B: Scores below the top 12% and above the bottom 57%

C: Scores below the top 43% and above the bottom 19%

D: Scores below the top 81% and above the bottom 5%

F: Bottom 5% of scores Scores on the test

And The normally distributed with a mean of 66.5 and a standard deviation of 9.9.

Now,

In a set with mean  and standard deviation, the Z score of a measure X is given by Z = (X-μ)/σ

we have μ=66.5 , σ=9.9  

Find the minimum score required for an A grade.  

Top 12%, so at least the 100-12 = 88th percentile, which is the value of X when Z has a p-value of 0.88. So it is X when Z = 1.175.

⇒ Z = (X-μ)/σ

⇒ 1.175×9.9 = X-66.5

⇒ X=78.132

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the answer is 80.

The minimum score required for an A grade is 80.
