Problem 1.) A researcher claims that 96% of college graduates say their college degree has
been a good investment. In a random sample of 2000 graduates, 1500 say their college degree has
been a good investment. At a = 0.05 is there enough evidence to reject the researcher's claim?
Answer:
|Z| = |-52.5| = 52.5 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance
Null hypothesis is rejected
We rejected the researcher's claim
A researcher do not claims that 96% of college graduates say their college degree has been a good investment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:-
Given data A researcher claims that 96% of college graduates say their college degree has been a good investment.
Population proportion 'P' = 0.96
Q = 1-P = 1- 0.96 = 0.04
In a random sample of 2000 graduates, 1500 say their college degree has
been a good investment.
Sample proportion
[tex]p^{-} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{1500}{2000} = 0.75[/tex]
Level of significance ∝ = 0.05
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.05}{2} } = Z_{0.025} = 1.96[/tex]
Test statistic
[tex]Z = \frac{p^{-} - P }{\sqrt{\frac{PQ}{n} } }[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.75 - 0.96 }{\sqrt{\frac{0.96 X 0.04}{2000} } }[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{-0.21}{0.00435} = -52.5[/tex]
|Z| = |-52.5| = 52.5 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance
Null hypothesis is rejected
We rejected the researcher's claim
Conclusion:-
A researcher do not claims that 96% of college graduates say their college degree has been a good investment.

Answer:
V =108 ft^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume is found by
V = Bh where B is the area of the base
B = the area of the trapezoid
B = 1/2 (b1+b2)*h of the trapezoid
B = 1/2(4+6)*4 = 1/2(10)*4 = 20
Now we can find the volume
V = 20* 9
V =108 ft^3

The difference of two supplementary angles is 70 degrees. Find the measures of the angles.
Answer:
DUEDY A. 32 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
PATROLLING WEE WOOO
Xd
Answer:
55 125
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller angle = x
Let the larger angle = x + 70
They are supplementary so the total of the two angles, by definition must be 180 degrees. Note that you should understand that any number of angles can but supplementary as long as they all add up to 180 degrees.
x + x + 70 = 180
2x + 70 = 180
2x + 70 - 70 = 180 - 70
2x = 110
2x/2 = 110/2
x = 55
the smaller angle = 55 degrees
The larger angle = 55 + 70 = 125

The scores on one portion of a standardized test are approximately Normally distributed, N(572, 51). a. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to estimate the range of scores that includes the middle 95% of these test scores. b. Use technology to estimate the range of scores that includes the middle 90% of these test scores.
Answer:
a) The range of scores that includes the middle 95% of these test scores is between 470 and 674.
b) The range of scores that includes the middle 90% of these test scores is between 488.1 and 655.9.
Step-by-step explanation:
68-95-99.7 rule:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Z-score:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question:
Mean [tex]\mu = 572[/tex], standard deviation [tex]\sigma = 51[/tex]
a. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to estimate the range of scores that includes the middle 95% of these test scores.
By the 68-95-99.7 rule, within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
572 - 2*51 = 470
572 + 2*51 = 674
The range of scores that includes the middle 95% of these test scores is between 470 and 674.
b. Use technology to estimate the range of scores that includes the middle 90% of these test scores.
Using the z-score formula.
Between these following percentiles:
50 - (90/2) = 5th percentile
50 + (90/2) = 95th percentile.
5th percentile.
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So when X when Z = -1.645.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-1.645 = \frac{X - 572}{51}[/tex]
[tex]X - 572 = -1.645*51[/tex]
[tex]X = 488.1[/tex]
95th percentile.
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So when X when Z = 1.645.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 572}{51}[/tex]
[tex]X - 572 = 1.645*51[/tex]
[tex]X = 655.9[/tex]
The range of scores that includes the middle 90% of these test scores is between 488.1 and 655.9.

The surface areas of two cubes are in a ratio of 1 : 9. What is the ratio of their volumes?
A 1:3
B. 1:9
C. 1:27
D. 1:81
Answer:
C. 1:27
Step-by-step explanation:
a²/b²=1/9 => a=1 and b=3
a³/b³=1³/3³=1/27
C. 1:27
I agree with the other answer. Here's another way to see why the answer is 1:27
The surface areas are in ratio 1:9. This means we could have one square that has area 1 and the larger square is area 9.
The smaller square has sides of 1 and the larger square has sides of 3 (square root both area values).
Now if we had a cube that has dimensions of 1 unit, then the volume is 1*1*1 = 1 cubic unit. If we had a larger cube with dimensions of 3 units, then the volume is 3^3 = 3*3*3 = 27 cubic units. We can fit 27 smaller 1x1x1 cubes into the larger 3x3x3 cube.

Answer:
(B) [tex]f(x)=-3(x+1)(x-5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the three equivalent forms of f(x):
[tex]f(x)=-3(x-2)^2+27\\f(x)=-3(x+1)(x-5)\\f(x)=-3x^2+12x+15[/tex]
The form which most quickly reveals the zeros (or "roots") of f(x) is
(B) [tex]f(x)=-3(x+1)(x-5)[/tex]
This is as a result of the fact that on equating to zero, the roots becomes immediately evident.
[tex]f(x)=-3(x+1)(x-5)=0\\-3\neq 0\\Therefore:\\x+1=0$ or x-5=0\\The zeros are x=-1 or x=5[/tex]
Therefore, one of the zeros, x=5

Step-by-step explanation:
If the second equation is multiplied by 4, the coefficient of the x-variable will be 5·4 = 20. To eliminate the x-variable by addition, the first equation needs to be multiplied by a value that will result in an x-coefficient of -20. If that value is k, then we have ...

The average cost of tuition plus room and board at small private liberal arts colleges is reported to be less than $18,500 per term. A financial administrator at one of the colleges believes that the average cost is higher. The administrator conducted a study using 150 small liberal arts colleges. It showed that the average cost per term is $18,200. The population standard deviation is known to be $1,400. Let α= 0.05. What are the null and alternative hypothesis for this study?
Answer:
The null and alternative hypothesis for this study are:
[tex]H_0: \mu=18500\\\\H_a:\mu< 18500[/tex]
The null hypothesis is rejected (P-value=0.004).
There is enough evidence to support the claim that the average cost of tuition plus room and board at small private liberal arts colleges is less than $18,500 per term.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.
The claim is that the average cost of tuition plus room and board at small private liberal arts colleges is less than $18,500 per term.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \mu=18500\\\\H_a:\mu< 18500[/tex]
The significance level is 0.05.
The sample has a size n=150.
The sample mean is M=18200.
The standard deviation of the population is known and has a value of σ=1400.
We can calculate the standard error as:
[tex]\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1400}{\sqrt{150}}=114.31[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:
[tex]z=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma_M}=\dfrac{18200-18500}{114.31}=\dfrac{-300}{114.31}=-2.624[/tex]
This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:
[tex]P-value=P(z<-2.624)=0.004[/tex]
As the P-value (0.004) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.
The null hypothesis is rejected.
There is enough evidence to support the claim that the average cost of tuition plus room and board at small private liberal arts colleges is less than $18,500 per term.
