Answer:

0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability distribution is the function which describes the likelihood of possible values assuming a random variable. The alkalinity of lake is determined by dividing the high shallow depthness by the total of lake alkalinity. The shallow depth is 209 and the total alkalinity of the lake is 966. By dividing the depthness with alkalinity we get 0.22.

209/966 = 0.219

approximately 0.22

[tex]x=10[/tex]

The value of x is 10.

We have a circle and inside it two chords MY and NT intersect at point H.

We have to find the value of x in the figure.

According to the intersecting chord theorem, when two chords say AB and CD intersect at point O, then

AO x OB = CO x OD

Applying the chord intersecting theorem to the figure in the question, we get -

MH x HY = NH x HT

12 x 20 = (x+20) x 8

240 = 8x + 160

8x = 80

x = 10

Hence the value of x is 10.

-6+1=-5

So over the course of 15 holes, he had a COMBINED total of +1.

The three remaining holes, he scored -2 on each of them.

The golfer score -2 in the three remaining holes.

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

It is given that the more negative the score, the better it is. A golfer's combined score for the 18 holes is -5.

The golfer score -2 on each of the several holes.

3*(-2)=-6

Then on all the other holes the golfer scored a combined total of +1.

-6+1 = -5

So, the course of 15 holes, he had a combined the total of +1.

Then the three remaining holes, he scored -2 on each of them.

Hence, the golfer score -2 in the three remaining holes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the result of the one way ANOVA :

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SS - - - - df - - MS - - - - - F

Between groups - 1,959.79 - 3 - - 653.26 - 21.16*

Error - - - - - - - - - - 3,148.61 - -102 --30.86

Total - - - - - - - - - - 5,108.41 - 105

To obtain the value of 'k' which is the number of groups observed :

The degree of freedom between groups or degree of freedom of treatment (DFT) is obtained by the formula:

Number of observed groups(k) - 1

DFT = k - 1

From the ANOVA result ; degree of freedom between groups = 3

Hence,

3 = k - 1

k = 3 +1 = 4

Hence, number of observed groups = 4

To obtain N;

N is related to k and the degree of freedom Error (DFE)

DFE = N - k

From the ANOVA result, DFE = 102 and k = 4

102 = N - 4

102 + 4 = N

N = 106

Answer:

maximum --> 62

median --> 46.5

upper quartile --> 60

lower quartile --> 37

minimum --> 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Forgive me on the explanation as I'm a bit rusty on these types of problems.

First, we need to put the set of numbers in order -->

from: 34, 37, 39, 32, 48, 45, 53, 62, 58, 61, 60, 41 -->

to: 32, 34, 37, 39, 41, 45, 48, 53, 58, 60, 61, 62

maximum = biggest number => thus, 62

median = middle number in a sense => (45+48)/2 => thus, 46.5

upper quartile = median over the median => thus, 60

lower quartile = median under the median => thus, 37

minimum = lowest number => thus, 32

And there we have our 5 answers.

Answer:

There is not enough information to the problem.

The things we know are:

Zhi wants to draw a king of clubs or an ace of clubs.

There is a 52 card deck, but we do not know which cards are in play.

Now, the probability of drawing two specific cards out of a deck of 52 cards is equal to:

P = 2/52 = 0.038.

Now, suppose that there are X cards in game, and Zhi knows the cards (and he can see that the king of clubs and the ace of clubs are not in the table, so the must be on the card pile), now the probability is bigger, because now we want to draw two specific cards out of 52 - X cards, so the probability now is:

p = 2/(52 - X)

and 52 - X is smaller than 52, so the denominator is smaller, which means that the probability is actually larger.

Answer:

31%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two events, drawing a face card and drawing an ace card, are non-overlapping, we can use the following formula:

P left parenthesis A c e space o r space F a c e right parenthesis equals P left parenthesis A c e right parenthesis plus P left parenthesis F a c e right parenthesis equals 4 over 52 plus 12 over 52 equals 16 over 52 equals 4 over 13 equals space 0.308 space o r space 31 percent sign

Answer:

The value of x is 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the outer angle of the parallelogram is 60 degrees. Therefore it's respective inner angle will be 180 - 60 = 120 degrees. And, by properties of a parallelogram, the angle opposite to this angle will be 120 degrees as well.

If we draw extend the line creating angle 2x, then we will make ( 1 ) a vertical angle to 2x, ( 2 ) a 90 degree angle, and ( 3 ) and angle that we can let be y. Therefore, 2x + y = 90, and 3x + y = 120.

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}2x+y=90\\ 3x+y=120\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ,

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}6x+3y=270\\ 6x+2y=240\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ,

[tex]6x+2y=240\\-\\\underline{6x+3y=270}\\y=30[/tex],

Answer:

The  98% confidence interval

                         [tex]0.1884 < p < 0.2876[/tex]

The confidence interval contains  20.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n =  400

The number that replied that they were considering business as a major [tex]x = 95[/tex]

  The  sample proportion is mathematically  evaluated as

          [tex]\r p = \frac{95}{400}[/tex]

         [tex]\r p = 0.238[/tex]

Given that the confidence level 98% then the level of significance is evaluated as

      [tex]\alpha = 100 - 98[/tex]

     [tex]\alpha = 2 \%[/tex]

     [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex]  from the normal distribution table is  

       [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 2.33[/tex]

  Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

       [tex]E = Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{ p (1 - p )}{n} }[/tex]  

       [tex]E = 2.33 * \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.238 (1 - 0.238 )}{400} }[/tex]

        [tex]E = 0.0496[/tex]

The  98%  confidence interval is mathematically represented

   [tex]\r p - E < p < \r p + E[/tex]

 =>    [tex]0.238 - 0.0496 < p <0.238 + 0.0496[/tex]

=>      [tex]0.1884 < p < 0.2876[/tex]

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line using a point and slope we use the formula

where m is the slope

(x1 ,y1) is the given point

From the question

slope = 3/2

point = ( 2 , - 1)

Substitute these values into the above formula

That's

[tex]y + 1 = \frac{3}{2} (x - 2)[/tex]

[tex]y + 1 = \frac{3}{2} x - 3[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3}{2} x - 3 - 1[/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]y = \frac{3}{2} x - 4[/tex]

Hope this helps you

Answer:

y= 3/2x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given a point and a slope, we can use the point-slope formula.

[tex]y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1})[/tex]

where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point the line passes through.

We know the slope is 3/2 and the point we are given is (2, -1).

[tex]m=\frac{3}{2} \\\\x_{1} = 2\\\\y_{1} = -1[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]y- -1 = \frac{3}{2} (x-2)[/tex]

[tex]y+1=\frac{3}{2} (x-2)[/tex]

We want to find the equation of line , which is y=mx+b ( m is the slope and b is the y-intercept). Therefore, we must get y by itself on the left side of the equation.

First, distribute the 3/2. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 3/2.

[tex]y+1= (\frac{3}{2} * x) + (\frac{3}{2} *-2)[/tex]

[tex]y+1= \frac{3}{2}x + (\frac{3}{2} *-2)[/tex]

[tex]y+1=\frac{3}{2} x + -3[/tex]

[tex]y+1=\frac{3}{2} x -3[/tex]

Next, subtract 1 from both sides.

[tex]y+1-1=\frac{3}{2} x + -3 -1[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{3}{2} x + -3 -1[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{3}{2} x -4[/tex]

Now the line is in slope intercept form, therefore the equation of the line is y=3/2x -4. The slope of the line is 3/2 and the y-intercept is -4.

[tex]t = 0.811\,s[/tex] contains the cheapest reference to sugar; [tex]t = 4.511\,s[/tex] contains the most expensive reference to sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be [tex]s(t) = -0.00003237\cdot t^{5} + 0.0009037\cdot t^{4}-0.008956\cdot t^{3}+0.03629\cdot t^{2}-0.04547\cdot t + 0.4778[/tex], the times when sugar is the cheapest and the most expensive (absolute minimum and maximum) are determined with the help of first and second derivatives of this function (First and Second Derivative Tests):

First Derivative Test

[tex]s'(t) = -0.00016185\cdot t^{4}+0.0036148\cdot t^{3}-0.026868\cdot t^{2}+0.07258\cdot t - 0.04547[/tex]

Let equalize the polynomial to zero and solve the resulting expression:

[tex]-0.00016185\cdot t^{4}+0.0036148\cdot t^{3}-0.026868\cdot t^{2}+0.07258\cdot t - 0.04547 = 0[/tex]

[tex]t_{1} \approx 9.511\,s[/tex], [tex]t_{2}\approx 7.431\,s[/tex], [tex]t_{3}\approx 4.511\,s[/tex] and [tex]t_{4}\approx 0.881\,s[/tex]

Second Derivative Test

[tex]s''(t) = -0.0006474\cdot t^{3}+0.0108444\cdot t^{2}-0.053736\cdot t+0.07258[/tex]

This function is now evaluated at each root found in the First Derivative section:

[tex]s''(9.511\,s) = -0.0006474\cdot (9.511\,s)^{3}+0.0108444\cdot (9.511\,s)^{2}-0.053736\cdot (9.511\,s)+0.07258[/tex]

[tex]s''(9.511\,s) = -0.015[/tex] (A maximum)

[tex]s''(7.431\,s) = -0.0006474\cdot (7.431\,s)^{3}+0.0108444\cdot (7.431\,s)^{2}-0.053736\cdot (7.431\,s)+0.07258[/tex]

[tex]s''(7.431\,s) = 6.440\times 10^{-3}[/tex] (A minimum)

[tex]s''(4.511\,s) = -0.0006474\cdot (4.511\,s)^{3}+0.0108444\cdot (4.511\,s)^{2}-0.053736\cdot (4.511\,s)+0.07258[/tex]

[tex]s''(4.511\,s) = -8.577\times 10^{-3}[/tex] (A maximum)

[tex]s''(0.811\,s) = -0.0006474\cdot (0.811\,s)^{3}+0.0108444\cdot (0.811\,s)^{2}-0.053736\cdot (0.811\,s)+0.07258[/tex]

[tex]s''(0.811\,s) = 0.036[/tex] (A minimum)

Each value is evaluated in order to determine when sugar was the cheapest and the most expensive:

Cheapest (Absolute minimum)

[tex]s(0.811\,s) = -0.00003237\cdot (0.811\,s)^{5}+0.0009037\cdot (0.811\,s)^{4}-0.008956\cdot (0.811\,s)^{3}+0.03629\cdot (0.811\,s)^{2}-0.04547\cdot (0.811\,s)+0.4778[/tex]

[tex]s(0.811\,s) = 0.460[/tex]

[tex]s(7.431\,s) = -0.00003237\cdot (7.431\,s)^{5}+0.0009037\cdot (7.431\,s)^{4}-0.008956\cdot (7.431\,s)^{3}+0.03629\cdot (7.431\,s)^{2}-0.04547\cdot (7.431\,s)+0.4778[/tex]

[tex]s(7.431\,s) = 0.491[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.811\,s[/tex] contains the cheapest reference to sugar.

Most expensive (Absolute maximum)

[tex]s(4.511\,s) = -0.00003237\cdot (4.511\,s)^{5}+0.0009037\cdot (4.511\,s)^{4}-0.008956\cdot (4.511\,s)^{3}+0.03629\cdot (4.511\,s)^{2}-0.04547\cdot (4.511\,s)+0.4778[/tex]

[tex]s(4.511\,s) = 0.503[/tex]

[tex]s(9.511\,s) = -0.00003237\cdot (9.511\,s)^{5}+0.0009037\cdot (9.511\,s)^{4}-0.008956\cdot (9.511\,s)^{3}+0.03629\cdot (9.511\,s)^{2}-0.04547\cdot (9.511\,s)+0.4778[/tex]

[tex]s(9.511\,s) = 0.498[/tex]

[tex]t = 4.511\,s[/tex] contains the most expensive reference to sugar.

The required values are,

[tex]t=0.881199[/tex] at the cheapest.

[tex]t=4.51081[/tex] at the most expensive.

A high point is called a maximum (plural maxima ). A low point is called a minimum (plural minima ).

Given equation is,

[tex]S(t) = -0.00003237t^5 + 0.0009037t^4- 0.008956t^3 + 0.03629t^2-0.04547t + 0.4778[/tex]

Differentiating the given equation we get,

[tex]S'(t)=-0.00003237\times 5t^4+0.0009037\times 4t^3-0.008956\times 3t^2+0.03629\times 2t-0.04547+0\\S'(t)=0\\-0.00003237\times 5t^4+0.0009037\times 4t^3-0.008956\times 3t^2+0.03629\times 2t-0.04547+0=0\\t=0.881199\\t=4.51081\\t=7.43087\\t=9.51137\\[/tex]

Now we can directly plug those fours values of t into given function S(t) to find which one gives max or minimum or you can also use the 2nd derivative test. Although that is not compulsory

[tex]t=0.881199,S(t)=0.46031095\\t=4.51081, S(t)=0.50278423\\t=7.43087, S(t)=0.49096762\\t=9.51137, S(t)=0.49832202\\[/tex]

We see that sugar is cheapest at [tex]t=0.881199[/tex] which is approx 1 and corresponds to the year [tex]1993+1=1994[/tex]

Similarly sugar is most expensive at [tex]t=4.51081[/tex] which is approx 5 and corresponds to year [tex]1993+5=1998[/tex]

Answer:

a) No sufficient evidence to support the claim that the two machines produce rods with different mean diameters.

b) P-value is 0.80

c)  −0.3939 <μ< 0.4939

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

sample sizes

n1 = 15

n2 = 17

sample means:

x1 = 8.73

x2 = 8.68

sample variances:

s1² = 0.35

s2² = 0.40

Hypothesis:

H₀ : μ₁ = μ₂

H₁ :  μ₁ ≠ μ₂

Compute the pooled standard deviation:

[tex]s_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{(n_{1} - 1)s_{1}^{2} + (n_{2} - 1)s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1} +n_{2} -2} }[/tex]

    [tex]= \sqrt{\frac{(15-1)0.35+(17-1)0.40}{15+7-2}}[/tex]

    [tex]= \sqrt{\frac{(14)0.35+(16)0.40}{30}}[/tex]

 [tex]= \sqrt{\frac{4.9+6.4}{30}}[/tex]

 [tex]= \sqrt{\frac{11.3}{30}}[/tex]

[tex]= \sqrt{0.376667}[/tex]

= 0.613732

= 0.6137

Compute the test statistic:

[tex]t = \frac{x_{1} -x_{2} }{s_{p} \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} } } }[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{8.73-8.68}{0.6137\sqrt{\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{17} } }[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{0.05}{0.6137\sqrt{0.06667+0.05882} } }[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{0.05}{0.6137\sqrt{0.12549} } }[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{0.05}{0.6137(0.354246)} } }[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{0.05}{0.6137(0.354246)} } }[/tex]

= 0.05 / 0.217401

= 0.22999

t = 0.230

Compute degree of freedom:

df = n1 + n2 -2 = 15 + 17 - 2 = 30

Compute the P-value from table using df = 30

P > 2 * 0.40 = 0.80

P > 0.05 ⇒ Fail to reject H₀

Null hypothesis is rejected when P-value is less than or equals to level of significance. But here the P-value = 0.80 and level of significance = 0.05. So P-value is greater than significance level. Hence there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that population means are different.

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean rod diameter:

confidence = c = 95% = 0.95

α = 1 - c

  = 1 - 0.95

α = 0.05

Compute degree of freedom:

df = n1 + n2 -2 = 15 + 17 - 2 = 30

Compute [tex]t_{\alpha /2}[/tex] with df = 30 using table:

t₀.₀₂₅ = 2.042

Compute confidence interval:

= [tex](x_{1}-x_{2})-t_{\alpha/2} ( s_{p} )\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} } }[/tex]

= (8.73 - 8.68) -  2.042 ( 0.6137 ) [tex]\sqrt{\frac{1}{15} +\frac{1}{17} }[/tex]

= 0.05 - 2.042 ( 0.6137 ) [tex]\sqrt{\frac{1}{15} +\frac{1}{17} }[/tex]

= 0.05 - 1.253175 [tex]\sqrt{0.06667+0.05882} } }[/tex]

= 0.05 - 1.253175 [tex]\sqrt{0.12549} } }[/tex]

= 0.05 - 1.253175 (0.35424))

= 0.05 - 0.443925

= −0.393925

= −0.3939

[tex](x_{1}-x_{2})+t_{\alpha/2} ( s_{p} )\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} } }[/tex]

= (8.73 - 8.68) +  2.042 ( 0.6137 ) [tex]\sqrt{\frac{1}{15} +\frac{1}{17} }[/tex]

= 0.05 + 2.042 ( 0.6137 ) [tex]\sqrt{\frac{1}{15} +\frac{1}{17} }[/tex]

= 0.05 + 1.253175 [tex]\sqrt{0.06667+0.05882} } }[/tex]

= 0.05 + 1.253175 [tex]\sqrt{0.12549} } }[/tex]

= 0.05 + 1.253175 (0.35424))

= 0.05 + 0.443925

= 0.493925

= 0.4939

−0.3939 <μ₁ - μ₂< 0.4939
