Answer:
x = 30 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles 4 and 5 are complementary, so we have ...
m∠4 +m∠5 = 90°
(2x +4) +(x -6) = 90
3x -2 = 90 . . . . . . . . . collect terms
3x = 92 . . . . . . . . . . add 2; next, divide by 3
x = 92/3 = 30 2/3
The salaries of 235 nurses were recorded and analyzed. The analyst later found that the highest salary was incorrectly recorded as 10 times the actual amount. After the error was corrected, the report showed that the corrected value was still higher than any other salary. Which sample statistic must have changed after the correction was made?
The sample statistic that must have changed after the correction was made is mean. Because mean is based on all the observation in the data. So changing any value in the data will impact mean.
Changing the highest salary in the data will have no impact on median because median lies at the center of data.
Changing the highest salary in the data will have no impact on mode because mode is the most frequently occurring value in the data.
Changing the highest salary in the data will have no impact on minimum because minimum is the smallest value in the data.
Hence the only statistic which will change is mean.
Answer: A-Mean
Step-by-step explanation:
A.) Mean
B.) Median
C.) Mode
D.) Minimum

Using technology, the Pvalue obtained using the Fratio :
F = MSregression / MSresidual = 30.228571/ 8.190476 = 3.69
The Pvalue for the regression equation is:
Using the Pvalue from Fratio calculator :
F(1, 3), 3.69 = 0.1505
Using the Pvalue approach :
At α = 0.01
Pvalue > α ; Hence, we fail to reject H0 and conclude that ; There is not enough evidence to show that the relationship is statistically significant.
The regression equation :
y = A1x1 + A2x2 +... AnXn
y = 0.550x1 + 3.600x2 + 7.300
x1 and x2 are the predictor variables ;
y = predicted variable
The diagram below is divided into equal parts. Which fraction of the parts is white?
A diagram is divided into 4 blue parts and 3 white parts.
Three-sevenths
Four-sevenths
Three-fourths
Four-thirds
Answer: This problem is a fraction since we have several equal parts that make up one whole. The problem asks us to talk about the relationship of white pieces to the whole. Since we know the whole is made up of 7 pieces (4 blue parts and 3 white parts = 7 total parts), then 7 will be our denominator (number on the bottom of the fraction).
Now that we have our number on the bottom, we need to look back at the question to carefully decide what parts of the whole we are looking at. The question wants to know how many of the parts are white. We know that 3 of the parts are white, so that is our numerator (number of the top of the fraction).
Our final answer is 3/7 or "three-sevenths." Said another way, three of the seven pieces are white.

J. Aitchison collected expenditures data for 20 randomly selected single men and 20 randomly selected single women. He uses the data to conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean percent of expenditures that goes toward housing (including fuel and light) is different for men and women. What is the correct alternative hypothesis?
a. Md = 0
b. μα = 0
c. ud > 0
d. Opmen — Вwomen
e. Himen > Mwomen
f. Mmen Mwomen
Answer:
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1: \mu_M - \mu_W \neq 0[/tex], considering M for men and W for women.
Step-by-step explanation:
He uses the data to conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean percent of expenditures that goes toward housing (including fuel and light) is different for men and women.
At the null hypothesis, we test if there is not difference, that is, the difference of the mean is 0, so:
[tex]H_0: \mu_M - \mu_W = 0[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if there is a difference, that is, the difference of the means is different of 0, so:
[tex]H_1: \mu_M - \mu_W \neq 0[/tex]
Which figure can be formed from the net?
pls answer fast for brainiest !
Answer:
It should be the top right one
(with 6ft as the height)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
It must be the lower to the left choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see, the net we have is composed of only triangles.
So we should be choosing a figure with a triangular base.
Our answers are narrowed down into the top right and lower left choices because both figures have triangular bases.
The other person down there chose the top right choice and was incorrect, so the answer should be the lower to the left figure.
Also, its the lower left figure because look at the triangular base, it is an isosceles meaning that two sides have the same length.
If the net says that the long side measures 9 ft, then the other two sides should be the same length and shorter than 9 ft. So the answer is the lower left figure.

To teach computer programming to employees, many firms use on the job training. A human resources administrator wishes to review the performance of trainees on the final test of the training. The mean of the test scores is 72 with a standard deviation of 5. The distribution of test scores is approximately normal. Find the z-score for a trainee, given a score of 82.
Answer:
The z-score for the trainee is of 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
The mean of the test scores is 72 with a standard deviation of 5.
This means that [tex]\mu = 72, \sigma = 5[/tex]
Find the z-score for a trainee, given a score of 82.
This is Z when X = 82. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{82 - 72}{5}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2[/tex]
The z-score for the trainee is of 2.

Exam grades: Scores on a statistics final in a large class were normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 9. Use the TI-84 PLUS calculator to answer the following. Round the answers to at least two decimals. (a) Find the 41st percentile of the scores. (b) Find the 74th percentile of the scores. (c) The instructor wants to give an A to the students whose scores were in the top 8% of the class. What is the minimum score needed to get an A
Solution :
Using the TI-84 PLUS calculator
a). Area : 0.41
μ = 75
σ = 9
InvNorm(0.41,75,9)
= 72.95209525
Therefore, the 41st percentile of the scores is 72.95209525
b). Area : 0.74
μ = 75
σ = 9
InvNorm(0.74,75,9)
= 80.79010862
Therefore, the 74st percentile of the scores is 80.79010862
c). 8%
So, Area : 0.92
μ = 75
σ = 9
InvNorm(0.92,75,9)
= 87.64564405
Therefore, X = 80.79010862
A piece of wood is cut into three pieces in the ratio 6: 5: 2. If the log is 61/2 feet long, what will be the length of the longest piece
Answer:
14.077 feet to the nearest thousandth.
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's work out the multiplier:
6 + 5 + 2 = 13.
61/2 = 30.5
- so the multiplier is 30.5/13 = 2.34615
The longest piece refers to the 6 in the ratio its length
= 6 * 2.34615
= 14.0769 ft.
The population of watesville decreases at a rate of 1.6% each year if the population was 62,500 in 2015 what will it be in 2021
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to first find the model for this particular situation, knowing that this is an exponential decay problem. The main equation for exponential growth/decay (as far as population goes for our problem) is
[tex]y=a(b)^x[/tex] where a is the initial population, b is the rate of decrease in the population which can also be written as (1 - r), y is the population after a certain amount of time, x, goes by. We will let year 2015 = 0 so year 2021 can = 6. This keeps our numbers lower and doesn't change the answer!
Our initial population in the year x = 0 is 62500. Our rate of decay is
(1 - .016) so our b value is .984
Filling in to find our model:
[tex]y=62500(.984)^x[/tex]
Now we can use that model and sub in a 6 for x to find the population in the year 2021:
[tex]y=62500(.984)^6[/tex] and
y = 62500(.9077590568) so
y = 56734.9 or, rounded to the nearest person, 56735
A small radio transmitter broadcasts in a 69 mile radius. If you drive along a straight line from a city 93 miles north of the transmitter to a second city 78 miles east of the transmitter, during how much of the drive will you pick up a signal from the transmitter?
Answer:
See Explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Question,
We have A small radio transmitter that broadcasts in a 69-mile radius. If you drive along a straight line from a city 93 miles north of the transmitter to a second city 78 miles east of the transmitter.Thus,
The distance that you get reception is the length of the chord created by the intersection of the circle defining the edge of transmission and the line defining the car trip.
x2 + y2 = 69² this is the circleAnd,
The Transmitter at the origin
City to the north at (0,93) & City to the east at (78,0)
the Slope is M=(-93/78)
Intercept is B= y - mx ⇒ 93 - (-93/78)(0) = 93
The equation of the line between the cities is y = (-93/78)x + 93
y = -93x/78 + 93 this is the lineNow, Solve the above two Equations
The intersection is gotten from the picture or solving:
x^2 + [(-93/78)*x + 93]^2 = 69^2
on solving we get, the points approximately are: (67.952,11.98 ) and (23.6277, 64.82)Now,
From the Pythagorean theorem the total distance of the trip is:
d1 = √(93^2 + 78^2) ≈ 121.37miles
And the distance when the signal is picked up is:
d2 =√ [(67.952-23.627)^2 + (64.82 - 11.98)^2] ≈ 68.96 miles
You will pick up a signal from the transmitter in (d2/d1)*100 = 56% of the drive.
A courier service company wishes to estimate the proportion of people in various states that will use its services. Suppose the true proportion is 0.06. If 235 are sampled, what is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.04
Answer:
0.0098 = 0.98% probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.04
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Suppose the true proportion is 0.06.
This means that [tex]p = 0.06[/tex]
235 are sampled
This means that [tex]n = 235[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = p = 0.06[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.06*0.94}{235}} = 0.0155[/tex]
What is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.04?
Proportion below 0.06 - 0.04 = 0.02 or above 0.06 + 0.04 = 0.1. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, which means that we can find one of them and multiply by 2.
Probability the proportion is below 0.02.
p-value of Z when X = 0.02. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.02 - 0.06}{0.0155}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.58[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.58[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0049.
2*0.0049 = 0.0098
0.0098 = 0.98% probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.04
A study of the pay of corporate chief executive officers (CEOs) examined the increase in cash compensation of the CEOs of 104 companies, adjusted for inflation, in a recent year. The mean increase in real compensation was x¯=6.9%, and the standard deviation of the increases was s=55%. Is this good evidence that the mean real compensation μ of all CEOs increased that year? The hypotheses are
Answer:
The p-value of the test is 0.1017, which is greater than the standard significance level of 0.05, which means that this is not good evidence that the mean real compensation μ of all CEOs increased that year.
Step-by-step explanation:
At the null hypothesis, we test if there was no increase, that is, the mean is 0, so:
[tex]H_0: \mu = 0[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if there was an increase, that is, the mean is greater than 0, so:
[tex]H_1: \mu > 0[/tex]
The test statistic is:
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
0 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]
104 companies, adjusted for inflation, in a recent year. The mean increase in real compensation was x¯=6.9%, and the standard deviation of the increases was s=55%.
This means that [tex]n = 104, X = 6.9, s = 55[/tex]
Value of the test-statistic:
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{6.9 - 0}{\frac{55}{\sqrt{104}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = 1.28[/tex]
P-value of the test:
The p-value of the test is a right-tailed test(test if the mean is greater than a value), with 104 - 1 = 103 df and t = 1.28.
Using a t-distribution calculator, this p-value is of 0.1017.
The p-value of the test is 0.1017, which is greater than the standard significance level of 0.05, which means that this is not good evidence that the mean real compensation μ of all CEOs increased that year.

The level of significance is the a. same as the p-value. b. maximum allowable probability of Type I error. c. same as the confidence coefficient. d. maximum allowable probability of Type II error.
Answer:
The level of significance is the
b. maximum allowable probability of Type I error.
Step-by-step explanation:
The significance level provides the maximum probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. It is the same as a type I error (also known as false-positive). This error occurs when a researcher or investigator rejects a true null hypothesis that is supposed to be accepted. It is the opposite of a type II error (false-negative), which occurs when the researcher fails to reject a false null hypothesis.

On a plan with a scale of 1:50, the floor of a rectangular cupboard is
shown with dimensions 25 cm by 3.6 cm. What are the actual dimensions
of the floor? Give your answers in metres.
Anyone know the answer ?
Answer:
The actual dimensions of the floor are 12,5m by 1,8m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale problems are solved by proportions, using a rule of three.
Scale of 1:50
This means that each cm on the cupboard has a real dimension of 50 cm
25 cm on the cupboard:
So the real dimension is:
25*50 = 1250 cm = 12,5m
3.6 cm
The real dimension is:
3.6*50 = 160 cm = 1,8 m
The actual dimensions of the floor are 12,5m by 1,8m.
Think of 5 positive integers that have a mode of 5 and 6, a median of 6 and a mean of 7.
Answer:
5,5,6,6,13
Step-by-step explanation:
Mode means most often. The 5 numbers has 2 modes 5 and 6
This means that 4 of the numbers must be 5,5,6,6
Median means the middle number must be 6
5,5,6,6,x is the only way to to get the middle number to be 6
We need to average to 7
(5+5+6+6+x) /5 = 7
(5+5+6+6+x) /5 *5= 7*5
(5+5+6+6+x) =35
22+x = 35
x = 35-22
x = 13
The other number is 13

The height and base radius of a cone are increased by a factor of 2 to create a similar cone. How is the slant height of the cone affected? The slant height of the larger cone is equal to the slant height of the smaller cone. The slant height of the larger cone is double the slant height of the smaller cone. The slant height of the larger cone is 4 times the slant height of the smaller cone. The slant height of the larger cone is 8 times the slant height of the smaller cone.
Answer:
The slant height of the cone affected is two times the slant height of original cone
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If the height and base radius of a cone are increased by a factor of to create a similar cone
then
the scale factor is equal to
therefore
the slant height of the cone affected is equal to the slant height of the original cone multiplied by the scale factor
Find the slant height of the original cone
Let
l-----> slant height of original cone
la-----> slant height of the cone affected
Applying the Pythagoras theorem
so
The slant height of the cone affected is two times the slant height of original cone
(I GOT THIS FROM SOMEONE ELSES ANSWER IN 2017 SO I HOPE THIS HELPS)
The slant height of the larger cone is double the slant height of the smaller cone.
Option B is the correct answer.
What is a cone?It is a shape of a Christmas tree where there is a base of radius r and a top point called the apex.
The volume of a cone is 1/3 πr²h
We have,
The slant height of the cone is affected by a factor of 2.
When the height and base radius of a cone are multiplied by 2, the dimensions of the new cone are doubled.
Therefore,
The slant height of the larger cone is double the slant height of the smaller cone.

for the equation (x+3)(x+1)=1 explain why the solutions are not -3 and -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+3)(x+1)=1
x²+3x+x+3=1
x²+4x+2=0
x²+4x+4=-2+4
(x+2)²=2
x+2=±√2
x=2+√2
