Answer:
1= 65 degrees
2=115 degrees
3=115 degrees
Step-by-step explanation: supplementary angles where 115 + x = 180 so go backwards by 180 - 115=65 to find corresponding angles. Angle 3 is also corresponding with the given angle of 115. Angle 2 is opposite the 115 so they have to be equal

John receives a perpetuity paying 2 at the end of year 4, 4 at the end of year 6, 6 at the end of year 8, etc. The present value of this perpetuity at an annual effective rate of 10% equals X. Calculate X
Answers
Answer:
45.35
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question, we are told that the annual effective rate = 10% = 0.10
Note also that payment is been made every 2 years
Hence , we apply the formula of effective interest rate for a period of 2 years.
Effective Interest rate(j) = (1 + r)² - 1
= (1 + 0.10)² - 1
= 1.10² - 1
= 1.21
= 0.21
Present value of perpetuality = t/[j × j/(1 + r)²]
Where t = time in years = 2
r = 0.10
= 2/ [0.21 × 0.21/(1 + 0.10)²
= 54.87528
Present value at time t = 0
= 54.87528(1 + r)^-2
= 54.87528(1 + 0.10) ^-2
= 54.87528(1.10)^-2
= 45.35
Therefore, the present value at time (t) is 0 = 45.35
A TV studio has brought in 8 boy kittens and 9 girl kittens for a cat food commercial. The director is going to choose 11 of these kittens at random to be in the commercial. What is the probability that the director chooses 4 boy kittens and 7 girl kittens? Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answers
Answer:
0.204
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to use to solve this is the combination formula.
Combination formula =
C(n, r) = nCr = n!/r! (n - r)!
Total number of kittens = 8 boy kittens + 9 girl kittens
= 17 kittens
Step 1
We find the probability of choosing 4 boy kittens out of 8 boy kittens
= 8C4 = 8!/4! × (8 - 4)!
= 8C4 = 8! / 4! × 4!
= 8C4 = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/ (4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × (4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
8C4 = 70
Step 2
We find the probability of choosing 7 girl kittens out of 9 girl kittens
9C7 = 9!/7! × (9 - 7)!
= 9C7 = 9! / 7! × 2!
= 9C7 = 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/ (7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × (2 × 1)
9C7 = 36
Step 3
Find the probability of Picking 11 kittens out of 17 kittens
17C11 = 17!/11! × (17 - 11)!
= 17C11 = 17! / 11! × 6!
= 17C11 = 17 × 16 × 15 × 14 × 13 × 12 × 11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/ (11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × (6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
17C11 = 12,376
Step 4
The final step
The probability that the director chooses 4 boy kittens and 7 girl kittens
= 8C4 × 9C7/ 17C11
= 70 × 36/12376
= 2520/12376
= 0.2036199095
Approximately to 3 decimal places = 0.204
Therefore, the probability that the director chooses 4 boy kittens and 7 girl kittens is 0.204

The bar graph shows the number of students who earned each letter grade on an
exam, which statement about the graph is true?
1)
1/5 of the students earned a C
2)
3% more students earned an A then B
3)
20% of the students earned a D
4)
1/4 of the class earned a B
Answers
Answer:
Option (3)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
Bar graph sketched shows the grades earned by the students in an exam.
Number of students who achieved the grade A = 17
Number of students who achieved grade B = 14
Number of students with grade C = 5
Number of students with grade D = 9
Total students who took the exam = 17 + 14 + 5 + 9 = 45
Option (1)
"[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of the students earned a C"
Fraction of students who earned C = [tex]\frac{\text{Students who earned C}}{\text{Total students}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5}{45}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Option (2)
"3% more students earned an A then B"
Percentage of students who earned A = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got A}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}\times 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{17}{45}\times 100[/tex]
= 37.78%
Percentage of students who earned B = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got B}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}\times 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14}{45}\times 100[/tex]
= 31.11%
Difference in percentage = 37.78 - 31.11
= 6.67%
Therefore, this option is not correct.
Option (3)
"20% of the students earned a D"
Percentage of students who earned D = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got D}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}\times 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9}{45}\times 100[/tex]
= 20%
Option (3) is the correct option.
Option (4)
" [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the class earned a B"
Fraction of class who earned B = [tex]\frac{\text{Students got B}}{\text{Total students who took the exam}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14}{45}[/tex]
Therefore, Option (4) is not correct.

Answers
Answer: 0.05412
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula : Odds of having an event is given by [tex]o=\dfrac{p}{1-p}[/tex], where p = probability that event happens.
In terms to find p , we use [tex]p=\dfrac{o}{1+o}[/tex]
Given, he back of the ticket lists the odds of winning each dollar value: 0.05 for $10, 0.04 for $25, 0.01 for $50, and 0.003 for $100.
Let X be the worth of ticket.
Then, the probability that the ticket is worth at least $25 =
[tex]P(X\geq 25)=P(X=25)+P(X=50)+P(X=100)[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{0.04}{1+0.04}+\dfrac{0.01}{1+0.01}+\dfrac{0.003}{1+0.003}\\\\=0.05135[/tex]
The odds that the ticket is worth at least $25 = [tex]\dfrac{0.05135}{1-0.05135}[/tex]
=0.05412
hence, the odds that the ticket is worth at least $25 is 0.05412 .

Answers
Answer:
Mean: 169.4
Median: 171
Mode: 181
Step-by-step explanation:
I first sorted the numbers by value, least to greatest.
145 147 153 153 167 170 170 172 181 181 181 182 185 185
We can see that 181 occurs the most, 3 times, so it's the mode.
The median of this set will be the middle number(s).
When we take away 6 numbers from both sides we are left with 170 and 172, and the mean of these two numbers is 171. So the median is 171.
We can add all the numbers and divide by 14 to get the mean.
[tex]147+153+170+172+185+181+182+185+181+170+181+167+153+145=2372\\\\2372\div14\approx169.4[/tex]

A sample of 31 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 11, and the population standard deviation is 3. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.05 significance level. H0: μ ≤ 10 H1: μ > 10 Is this a one- or two-tailed test?
Answers
Answer:
The test is a two -tailed test
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 31
The sample mean is [tex]\= x =11[/tex]
The sample standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 3[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o: \mu \le 10[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1 : \mu > 10[/tex]
The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
The test statistics is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{ 11 - 10 }{ \frac{3}{\sqrt{ 31} } }[/tex]
[tex]t = 1.85[/tex]
The p- value is mathematically represented as
[tex]p-value = p( t > 1.856) = 0.0317[/tex]
Looking at the value of [tex]p-value \ and \ \alpha[/tex] we see that [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] hence we reject the null hypothesis
Given the that the p value is less than 0.05 it mean the this is a two-tailed test

Answers
Answer:
15.7 in
Step-by-step explanation:
A slice of a round pie is a sector of a circle.
The perimeter of a slice is the arc length s plus twice the radius r.
P = s + 2r
s = rθ = r(16/360) = r/22.5. So,
16 = (r/22.5) + 2r = (r + 45r)/22.5 = 46r/22.5
16 × 22.5 = 46r
360 = 46r
r = 7.826
D = 2r = 2 × 7.826 = 15.7 in
The diameter of the cake should be 15.7 in.
Check:
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}P & = & s + 2r\\& = & \dfrac{r}{22.5} + 2r\\\\16 & = & \dfrac{7.826}{22.5} + 2 \times 7.826\\\\16 & = & 0.35 + 15.65\\16 & = & 16.00\\\end{array}[/tex]

In this triangle, which of the following is true?
Answers
We know that this is a right triangle, so one of the sides has to be 90 (indicated by the square on the corner) The angles of all triangles must add to exactly 180. Subtract 90 and 35 from 180
If we do that, we get 55. We know that the unknown angle is 55 now. Now, it asks us for b. We can pythagoras theorem which states that (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) We already know c (c is 20) It does not tell us 2 of the sides but we do know that the answer is either B or D.
The side opposite of 90* should be the largest. The size opposite of 55 would be the second largest one. The side opposite of 35 would be the smallest one. Using pythagoras theorem again, I can try plugging in both 11.47 and 16.38 with c^2 - b^2 = a^2
11.47:
400 - 132 =268 (sq root now = 16.37) this would mean that A is larger than B. B should be larger than A. Try the other one
16.37:
400 -268 = 132 (sq root = 16.37) this would mean that B is larger than A which is what we want.
Thus, 16.37 = B and the last option would be correct (D)

This leaves us with 0 on the left side and on the right side,

Age (in years) Height (inches)
7 47.3
8 48.8
5 41.3
8 50.4
8 51
7 47.1
7 46.9
7 48
9 51.2
8 51.2
5 40.3
8 48.9
6 45.2
5 41.9
8 49.6
Requried:
a. Develop a scatter chart with age as the independent variable. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between the height and age of children?
b. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to estimate the height based on the age. What is the estimated regression model?
c. How much of the variation in the sample values of height does the model estimated in part (b) explain?

The estimated regression equation:
ŷ = 2.73953X + 27.91395
Where ;
X = independent variable
ŷ = predicted or dependent variable
27.91395 = intercept
C.) To obtain the variation in sample values of height estimated by the model, we obtain the Coefficient of correlation:
Using the online pearson correlation Coefficient calculator :
The correlation Coefficient is 0.9696.
which means that the regression model estimated in part (b) explains approximately (0.9696 * 100) = 96.96% = 97% of the variation in the height in the sample.
given the vector with a manitude of 9m at an angle a of -80 degrees, decompose this vector into two vector components oarallel to the x axis with a slope of
Answers
Answer:
We have the magnitude, M, and the angle A.
(The angle is always measured from the +x-axis)
Then we have that:
x = M*cos(A)
y = M*sin(A)
in this case:
M = 9m
A = -80°
x = 9m*cos(-80°) = 1.562
y = 9m*sin(-80) = -8.86m
Now, the component parallel to the x axis is:
x = 9m*cos(-80°) = 1.562 m
And the slope of something parallel to the x-axis is always zero, as this is a constant line.
The report "Teens and Distracted Driving: Texting, Talking and Other Uses of the Cell Phone Behind the Wheel" summarizes data from a survey of a representative sample of 800 teens between the ages of 12 and 17. The following statements were made on the basis of the resulting data.
- 75% of all American teens own a cellphone
- 66% of all American teens use a cellphone to send a receive text messages
- 26% of American teens age 16-17 have used a cellphone to text while driving
Required:
a. Is the inference made one that involves estimation or one that involved hypothesis testing?
b. What is the population of interest? American teenagers? American teenagers between ages 12-17? Americans? Teenagers?

Answer:
"Teens and Distracted Driving: Texting, Talking and Other Uses of the Cell Phone Behind the Wheel"
a. The inference made involves estimation. The question provided that the statements were made on the basis of the resulting data and not on the basis of some hypothesis testing.
This implies that some statistics were calculated from sample data to approximate the population parameter, as shown in the statements. The statements were not an attempt to establish the statistical significance of some claims.
b. The population of interest is American teenagers between 12-17.
Step-by-step explanation:
An inference from data is a statistical estimation by which some statistics are calculated based on the sample data of 800 teens between the ages of 12 and 17. The statistics serve as an approximation to the population parameter.
Inference based on hypothesis testing establishes if a claim has statistical significance by providing statistical evidence in favor of the claim or against it.
