Answer:
5 miles away
Step-by-step explanation:
If you walked north 8 miles, then west 4 miles, then south 5 miles, you have, in total, travelled 4 miles west and [tex]8-5=3[/tex] miles north.
This creates a triangle, in which we can find the the length of the hypotenuse to find how far away you are now.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle.

Suppose that you are standing 150 feet from a building and the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 42°. What is the building's height?
Answer:
135.06 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the side of the building makes a right triangle with the ground and you know one side length and the degree angle between you and the top of the building we can use trigonometric function to find the height of the building. So since we know one side other than the hypotenuse we can use tangent to solve. Tangent is the opposite side over the adjacent side of the known angle.
opposite side = x
adjacent side = 150 feet
angle = 42°
tan(42°) = x/150 feet
150 feet * tan(42°) = x
x = 135.06 feet

An operator wants to determine the standard deviation for a machine relative to its ability to produce windshield wipers conforming within their specifications. To do this, she wants to create a p-chart. Over a month's time, she tests 100 units every day and records the number of manufacturing defects. The average proportion of non-conforming windshield wipers is found to be 0.042. What is the standard deviation of this sample
Answer:
the standard deviation of the sample is less than 0.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
The sample size n = 100 units
The average proportion of non-conforming windshield wipers is found to be 0.042 which is the defective rate P-bar
The standard deviation of the machine([tex]S_p[/tex]) can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{ \overline P \times (1 - \overline P)} }{n}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.042 \times (1 -0.042)} }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.042 \times (0.958)} }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.040236} }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ 0.2005891323 }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =0.002[/tex]
Thus , the standard deviation of the sample is less than 0.1

Oregon State University is interested in determining the average amount of paper, in sheets, that is recycled each month. In previous years, the average number of sheets recycled per bin was 59.3 sheets, but they believe this number may have increase with the greater awareness of recycling around campus. They count through 79 randomly selected bins from the many recycle paper bins that are emptied every month and find that the average number of sheets of paper in the bins is 62.4 sheets. They also find that the standard deviation of their sample is 9.86 sheets. What is the value of the test-statistic for this scenario
Answer:
The test statistic is [tex]t = 2.79[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 59.3[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 79[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 62.4[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 9.86[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{ 62.2 - 59.3 }{ \frac{ 9.86}{ \sqrt{ 79} } }[/tex]
[tex]t = 2.79[/tex]

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the ratio of corresponding sides, image to preimage, that is
scale factor = [tex]\frac{DE}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12.09}{16.12}[/tex] = 0.75 → B
The scale factor of the dilation will be 1.33. Then the correct option is A.
What is dilation?Dilation is the process of increasing the size of an item without affecting its form. Depending on the scale factor, the object's size can be raised or lowered.
There is no effect of dilation on the angle.
In the diagram, ∆ABC and ∆DBE are similar.
Then the scale factor of the dilation that will map the preimage ΔABC onto the image ΔDBE will be
⇒ 16.12 / 12.09
⇒ 1.33
Then the correct option is A.

The development of AstroWorld ("The Amusement Park of the Future") on the outskirts of a city will increase the city's population at the rate given below in people/year t yr after the start of construction. 5,700√t + 11,000 The population before construction is 67,000. Determine the projected population 16 yr after the construction of the park has begun. people
Answer:
486,200
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the rate of change in population is represented by the function:
f(t) = 5,700√t + 11,000
To get the original function, we take the integral of the rate function because the rate of change is obtained by taking the derivate of the original equation
f(t) = 5,700t^1/2 + 11,000
Taking the integral of f with respect to t:
∫(5,700t^1/2 + 11,000)
[5700t^(1/2 + 1)] / (1/2 + 1) + 11000t + C
[(5700t^3/2)/ 3/2] + 11000t + C
Where C = constant
If population before construction = 67000
Then C = 67000
t = time = 16 years
Substitute values into the original change equation:
[(5700(16)^3/2)/ 3/2] + 11000t + 67000
[(5700 * 64) / 1.5] + 11000(16) + 67000
243200 + 176000 + 67000
= 486,200

Complete Question
It has been found that 26% of men 20 years and older suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) and 31.5% of women are hypertensive. A random sample 150 of each gender was selected from recent hospital records, and the following results were obtained.
Men. 43 patients had high blood pressure
Woman. 52 patients had high blood pressure.
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval is
[tex]- 0.1651 < p_m - p_f <0.0451[/tex]
This mean that there is a 95 % confidence that the difference between the true proportions of male and female that are hypertensive is within this interval and given that the interval contains zero then there is no statistically significant difference between the genders that are hypertensive
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size for male is [tex]n_1 = 150[/tex]
The number of male that are hypertensive is [tex]m = 42[/tex]
The sample size of female is [tex]n_2 = 150[/tex]
The number of female that are hypertensive is [tex]q = 52[/tex]
The proportion of male that are hypertensive is mathematically represented as
[tex]\r p_m = \frac{43}{150}[/tex]
[tex]\r p_m = 0.287[/tex]
The proportion of female that are hypertensive is mathematically represented as
[tex]p_f = \frac{52}{150}[/tex]
[tex]p_f = 0.347[/tex]
From the question we are told that confidence level is 95%, hence the level of significance is mathematically represented 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 value is
[tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{ \r p_m (1- \r p_m )}{n_1} + \frac{ \r p_f (1- \r p_f )}{n_2} }[/tex]
substituting value
[tex]E = 1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.287 (1- 0.287 )}{150} + \frac{ 0.347 (1- 0.347 )}{150} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.1051[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex](\r p_m - \r p_f ) - E < p_m - p_f < (\r p_m - \r p_f ) + E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]( 0.287 - 0.347 ) - 0.1051 < p_m - p_f <( 0.287 - 0.347 ) + 0.1051[/tex]
[tex]- 0.1651 < p_m - p_f <0.0451[/tex]
This mean that there is a 95 % confidence that the difference between the true proportion is within this interval and given that the interval contains zero then there is no statistically significant difference between the genders that are hypertensive.

You are certain to get a red card when selecting 27 cards from a shuffled deck. Express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1 inclusiv
Answer:
If something is guaranteed, it has a probability of 100%, or 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
A standard deck has 52 cards. Of these, half are red cards (diamonds and hearts) and half are black cards (clovers and spades)
Half of the deck is 26 cards (52 ÷ 2 = 26), so you have 26 red and 26 black cards.
What this means in our context is, if we draw 27 cards, even if we drew all 26 black cards, we would still have 1 red card.
So the probability is 100%, or 1, of drawing a red card when we pick 27 cards from a deck, no matter how it's shuffled
The probability of getting a red card is 1.
No matter how you shuffle the cards, the no of cards will remain the same.
Therefore, it will not affect the probability.
What is probability?
Probability is simply how likely something is to happen. Whenever we're unsure about the outcome of an event, we can talk about the probabilities of certain outcomes—how likely they are. The analysis of events governed by probability is called statistics.

A cubical sandbox has a volume of 91.125 cubic inches. What is the side length of the
sandbox?
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
To find the volume of a cube, you simply cube the side length (multiply it by itself three times). This is because all of the sides of a cube are the same and if you multiply the length by the width by the height it is the same number multiplied by itself three times.
We already know that the volume is 91.125 cubic inches. To find the side length, we simply do the cube root on our calculator, which tells us what number we cube to get 91.125.
∛91.125=4.5
Therefore, the side length of the sandbox is 4.5 inches.

In kickboxing, it is found that the force, f, needed to break a board, varies inversely with the length, l, of the board. If it takes 7 pounds of pressure to break a board that is 3 feet long, how long is a board that requires 5 pounds of pressure to break?
Answer:
4.2
Step-by-step explanation:
f varies inversly with L can be translated matimatically as:
● f = k/L
It takes 7 pounds of pressure to break a 3 feet long board.
Replace f by 7 and L by 3.
● 7 = k/3 => k=7×3=21
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Let's find tge length of a board that takes 5 pounds of pressure to be broken.

The average daily volume of a computer stock in 2011 was ų=35.1 million shares, according to a reliable source. A stock analyst believes that the stock volume in 2014 is different from the 2011 level. Based on a random sample of 30 trading days in 2014, he finds the sample mean to be 32.7 million shares, with a standard deviation of s=14.6 million shares. Test the hypothesis by constructing a 95% confidence interval. Complete a and b A. State the hypothesis B. Construct a 95% confidence interval about the sample mean of stocks traded in 2014.
Answer:

The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 35 .1 \ million \ shares[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis [tex]H_a : \mu \ne 35.1\ million \ shares[/tex]
b
The 95% confidence interval is [tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question the we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 35.1 \ million \ shares[/tex]
The sample size is n = 30
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 32.7 \ million\ shares[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14.6 \ million\ shares[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is [tex]95\%[/tex] then the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100-95[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]

Answer:
Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 200 clicks a day
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 200 clicks a day
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a website developer wished to analyze the clicks per day on their newly updated website.
The website developer wants to know if the number of clicks per day is different than 200 clicks a day, on average.
Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean number of clicks per day.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 200 clicks a day
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 200 clicks a day
Here, the null hypothesis states that the mean number of clicks per day is 200 clicks a day.
On the other hand, the alternate hypothesis states that the mean number of clicks per day is different than 200 clicks a day.
Hence, this is the correct null and alternative hypotheses.
Answer: Null Hypothesis [tex]H_0:\mu=200[/tex]

i.e. he wants to check either [tex]\mu=200\text{ or }\mu\neq 200[/tex]
Since a null hypothesis is a hypothesis believes that there is no difference between the two variables whereas an alternative hypothesis believes that there is a statistically significant difference between two variables.
So, Null Hypothesis [tex]H_0:\mu=200[/tex]
Alternate Hypothesis[tex]H_a:\mu\neq200[/tex]

[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+v_ot+y_o[/tex]
y₀ is the initial height above the ground
v₀ = initial velocity
So,
[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+900t+300[/tex]
This is the quadratic equation that models the projectile height in feet above the ground after t seconds.

Many stores run "secret sales": Shoppers receive cards that determine how large a discount they get, but the percentage is revealed by scratching off that black stuff only after the purchase has been totaled at the cash register. The store is required to reveal (in the fine print) the distribution of discounts available. Determine whether the following probability assignment is legitimate?
10% off 20% off 30% off 50% off
a. 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2
b. 0.5 0.3 0.2 0.1
c. 0.8 0.1 0.05 0.05
d. 0.75 0.25 0.25 -0.25
e. 1 0 0 0
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
it makes the most senses the lower the discount the higher the chance
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.
