Suppose that, in the past, 40% of all adults favored capital punishment. Do we have reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased if, in a random sample of 15 adults, 8 favor capital punishment? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.1469 > 0.05, which means that there is no reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased, using a 0.05 level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that, in the past, 40% of all adults favored capital punishment. Test if the proportion has increased:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is still of 40%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.4[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion has increased, that is, is greater than 40%, so:

[tex]H_1: p > 0.4[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.4 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.4, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}[/tex]

Random sample of 15 adults, 8 favor capital punishment.

This means that [tex]n = 15, X = \frac{8}{15} = 0.5333[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.5333 - 0.4}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.05[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion of 0.5333 or more, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.05.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.05 has a p-value of 0.8531.

1 - 0.8531 = 0.1469.

The p-value of the test is 0.1469 > 0.05, which means that there is no reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased, using a 0.05 level of significance.

Ethan buys a video game on sale. If the video game usually costs $60, and it was on sale for 20% off, how much did Ethan pay? Round to the nearest whole dollar.

Answers

Ethan will pay $31.99 with the discount.

How? This is the answer because:

If 39.99 is 100%, and you are trying to find 20%...

1. you need to set it up as a ratio (of course, you do not need to do this, but it is easier for me to do it this way)

2. the ratio will look like this: 39.99/100% x/20%

3. all we need to do from here is to cross multiply!

4 39.99 x

---------- = ----------

100 20

-price is on the top and percent on the bottom

-you would now do 39.99 times 20

-then divide by 100

5. once you have 20% of 39.99, you need to subtract that answer from the total

6. 39.99 - 7.998 = 31.992 (you need to round to the nearest hundredth)

which of the following is not an asymptote of the hyperbola xy = -42? y = 0 x = 0 y = x

Answers

Given:

The equation of the hyperbola is:

[tex]xy=-42[/tex]

To find:

The the equation which is not an asymptote of the hyperbola.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]xy=-42[/tex]

It can be written as:

[tex]y=\dfrac{-42}{x}[/tex]

Equating denominator and 0, we get

[tex]x=0[/tex]

So, the vertical asymptotic is [tex]x=0[/tex].

The degree of numerator is 0 and the degree of denominator is 1.

Since the degree of numerator is greater that the degree of denominator, therefore the horizontal asymptote is [tex]y=0[/tex] and there is no oblique asymptote.

Therefore, [tex]y=x[/tex] is not an asymptote of the given hyperbola and the correct option is C.

Answer theas question

Answers

(1) Both equations in (a) and (b) are separable.

(a)

[tex]\dfrac xy y' = \dfrac{2y^2+1}{x+1} \implies \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{y(2y^2+1)} = \dfrac{\mathrm dx}{x(x+1)}[/tex]

Expand both sides into partial fractions.

[tex]\left(\dfrac1y - \dfrac{2y}{2y^2+1}\right)\,\mathrm dy = \left(\dfrac1x - \dfrac1{x+1}\right)\,\mathrm dx[/tex]

Integrate both sides:

[tex]\ln|y| - \dfrac12 \ln\left(2y^2+1\right) = \ln|x| - \ln|x+1| + C[/tex]

[tex]\ln\left|\dfrac y{\sqrt{2y^2+1}}\right| = \ln\left|\dfrac x{x+1}\right| + C[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac y{\sqrt{2y^2+1}} = \dfrac{Cx}{x+1}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\dfrac{y^2}{2y^2+1} = \dfrac{Cx^2}{(x+1)^2}}[/tex]

(You could solve for y explicitly, but that's just more work.)

(b)

[tex]e^{x+y}y' = 3x \implies e^y\,\mathrm dy = 3xe^{-x}\,\mathrm dx[/tex]

Integrate both sides:

[tex]e^y = -3e^{-x}(x+1) + C[/tex]

[tex]\ln(e^y) = \ln\left(C - 3e^{-x}(x+1)\right)[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{y = \ln\left(C - 3e^{-x}(x+1)\right)}[/tex]

(2)

(a)

[tex]y' + \sec(x)y = \cos(x)[/tex]

Multiply both sides by an integrating factor, sec(x) + tan(x) :

[tex](\sec(x)+\tan(x))y' + \sec(x) (\sec(x) + \tan(x)) y = \cos(x) (\sec(x) + \tan(x))[/tex]

[tex](\sec(x)+\tan(x))y' + (\sec^2(x) + \sec(x)\tan(x)) y = 1 + \sin(x)[/tex]

[tex]\bigg((\sec(x)+\tan(x))y\bigg)' = 1 + \sin(x)[/tex]

Integrate both sides and solve for y :

[tex](\sec(x)+\tan(x))y = x - \cos(x) + C[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{x-\cos(x) + C}{\sec(x) + \tan(x)}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{y=\dfrac{(x+C)\cos(x) - \cos^2(x)}{1+\sin(x)}}[/tex]

(b)

[tex]y' + y = \dfrac{e^x-e^{-x}}2[/tex]

(Note that the right side is also written as sinh(x).)

Multiply both sides by e ˣ :

[tex]e^x y' + e^x y = \dfrac{e^{2x}-1}2[/tex]

[tex]\left(e^xy\right)' = \dfrac{e^{2x}-1}2[/tex]

Integrate both sides and solve for y :

[tex]e^xy = \dfrac{e^{2x}-2x}4 + C[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{y=\dfrac{e^x-2xe^{-x}}4 + Ce^{-x}}[/tex]

(c) I've covered this in an earlier question of yours.

(d)

[tex]y'=\dfrac y{x+y}[/tex]

Multiply through the right side by x/x :

[tex]y' = \dfrac{\dfrac yx}{1+\dfrac yx}[/tex]

Substitute y(x) = x v(x), so that y' = xv' + v, and the DE becomes separable:

[tex]xv' + v = \dfrac{v}{1+v}[/tex]

[tex]xv' = -\dfrac{v^2}{1+v}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1+v}{v^2}\,\mathrm dv = -\dfrac{\mathrm dx}x[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac1v + \ln|v| = -\ln|x| + C[/tex]

[tex]\ln\left|\dfrac yx\right| -\dfrac xy = C - \ln|x|[/tex]

[tex]\ln|y| - \ln|x|  -\dfrac xy = C - \ln|x|[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\ln|y| -\dfrac xy = C}[/tex]

A presidential candidate plans to begin her campaign by visiting the capitals in 3 of 47 states. What is the probability that she selects the route of three specific​ capitals?

Answers

Answer:

1 / 97290

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways of selecting 3 specific route capitals from 47 states can be obtained thus :

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = 47P3

Recall :

nPr = n! / (n-r)!

47P3 = 47! / (47-3)! = 47! / 44! = 97290

Hence, probability of selecting route if 3 specific capitals is = 1 / 97290

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a) X is a discrete uniform distribution. As the number of outcomes is only 3.

b) sum is at least 4

X ≥ 4--------

i.e  (1,3) or (2,3)

probability of X ≥ 4 is 2/3

2/3= 0.667

66.7 % is the probability of the outcome to have  a sum at least 4.

c) The 3 likely outcome of X

(1,2) where X ; 1+2=3

An executive at a game console manufacturing company claims that the proportion of gamers who prefer consoles differs from . Does the poll provide convincing evidence that the claim is true

Answers

Answer:

proportion of gamers who prefer console does not differ from 29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

n = 341 ; x = 95 ; Phat = x / n = 95/341 = 0.279

H0 : p = 0.29

H1 : p ≠ 0.29

The test statistic :

T = (phat - p) ÷ √[(p(1 - p)) / n]

T = (0.279 - 0.29) ÷ √[(0.29(1 - 0.29)) / 341]

T = (-0.011) ÷ √[(0.29 * 0.71) / 341]

T = -0.011 ÷ 0.0245725

T = - 0.4476532

Using the Pvalue calculator from test statistic score :

df = 341 - 1 = 340

Pvalue(-0.447, 340) ; two tailed = 0.654

At α = 0.01

Pvalue > α ; We fail to reject the null and conclude that there is no significant evidence that proportion of gamers who prefer console differs from 29%

A farmer has 80 feet of wire mesh to surround a rectangular pen.
A) Express the area A of the pen as a function of x, also draw the figure of A indicating the admissible values ​​of x for this problem.
B) What are the dimensions of the maximum area pen?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A). Let the dimensions of the rectangular pen are,

Length = l

Width = x

Since, farmer has the wire measuring 80 feet to surround the the pen.

Perimeter of the pen = 80 feet

2(l + x) = 80

l + x = 40

l = 40 - x ------(1)

Area of the rectangular pen = Length × width

                                               = lx

By substituting the value of l from equation (1),

Area (A) of the pen will be modeled by the expression,

A = (40 - x)

A = 40x - x²

B). For maximum area of the pen,

Derivative of the area = 0

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(A)=0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(A)=\frac{d}{dx}(40x-x^2)[/tex]

         = 40 - 2x

And (40 - 2x) = 0

x = 20

Therefore, width of the pen = 20 feet

And length of the pen = 40 - 20

                                     = 20 feet

Dimensions of the pen should be 20 feet by 20 feet.
