Suppose the following data show the prices of 4 cars with similar characteristics that sold at a recent auction (in thousands of dollars): 6.6, 5, 10.7, 7.3. Calculate the standard deviation of the sample of selling prices. (please express your answer using 2 decimal places)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 2.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The prices of 4 cars with similar characteristics that sold at a recent auction (in thousands of dollars): 6.6, 5, 10.7, 7.3.

Let x: 6.6, 5, 10.7, 7.3.

n= 4

Mean : [tex]\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{6.6+5+10.7+7.3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{29.6}{4}\\\\=7.4[/tex]

Now , standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n-1}}[/tex]

[tex]=\sqrt{\dfrac{(6.6-7.4)^2+( 5-7.4)^2+( 10.7-7.4)^2+( 7.3-7.4)^2}{4-1}}\\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.64+5.76+10.89+0.01}{3}}\\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{17.3}{3}}\approx2.40[/tex]

Hence, the standard deviation of the sample of selling prices = 2.40

Show you work

Answers

Answer:

$1615.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Scholarship and grants are money given to the candidates to support his financial needs in school. It will serves as the means of revenue for the student.

Revenue generated = Grant + Scholarship amount

Revenue generated = $350 + $400

Revenue generated= $750

Total money needed to be spent in school = Tuition + fees

If tuition is $113.67 per credit hour and I used 15 credit hours, total amount of tuition paid = 15* $113.67 =  $1705.05

Total fees =  $660

Total money needed to be spent in school = $1705.05 + $660

Total money needed to be spent in school =  $2365.05

Amount I will need to pay for classes next semester = Total money that will be spent - (grant+scholarship)

=  $2365.05 - $750

= $1615.05

Hence, the amount I will need to pay for classes next semester is  $1615.05

John receives a perpetuity paying 2 at the end of year 4, 4 at the end of year 6, 6 at the end of year 8, etc. The present value of this perpetuity at an annual effective rate of 10% equals X. Calculate X

Answers

Answer:

45.35

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are told that the annual effective rate = 10% = 0.10

Note also that payment is been made every 2 years

Hence , we apply the formula of effective interest rate for a period of 2 years.

Effective Interest rate(j) = (1 + r)² - 1

= (1 + 0.10)² - 1

= 1.10² - 1

= 1.21

= 0.21

Present value of perpetuality = t/[j × j/(1 + r)²]

Where t = time in years = 2

r = 0.10

= 2/ [0.21 × 0.21/(1 + 0.10)²

= 54.87528

Present value at time t = 0

= 54.87528(1 + r)^-2

= 54.87528(1 + 0.10) ^-2

= 54.87528(1.10)^-2

= 45.35

Therefore, the present value at time (t) is 0 = 45.35

A refrigeration system at your company uses temperature sensors fixed to read Celsius (0C) values, but the system operators in your control room understand only the Fahrenheit scale. You have been asked to make a Fahrenheit (°F) label for the high temperature alarm, which is set to ring whenever the system temperature rises above -10°C. What Fahrenheit value should you write on the label?

Answers

Answer:

14 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, we will use the known celsius to fahrenheit conversion formula.

[Celsius * (9/5)] + 32 = Fahrenheit

Now we just plug in the value of celsius:

[-10 * (9/5)] + 32 = Fahrenheit

[ -2 * 9 ] + 32 = Fahrenheit

[ -18 ] + 32 = Fahrenheit

14 = Fahrenheit

So you should right 14(°F) on the label.

Answers

Answer: 0.05412

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula : Odds of having an event is given by  [tex]o=\dfrac{p}{1-p}[/tex], where p = probability that event happens.

In terms to find p , we use [tex]p=\dfrac{o}{1+o}[/tex]

Given, he back of the ticket lists the odds of winning each dollar value: 0.05 for $10, 0.04 for $25, 0.01 for $50, and 0.003 for $100.

Let X be the worth of ticket.

Then, the probability that the ticket is worth at least $25 =

[tex]P(X\geq 25)=P(X=25)+P(X=50)+P(X=100)[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{0.04}{1+0.04}+\dfrac{0.01}{1+0.01}+\dfrac{0.003}{1+0.003}\\\\=0.05135[/tex]

The odds that the ticket is worth at least $25 = [tex]\dfrac{0.05135}{1-0.05135}[/tex]

=0.05412

hence, the odds that the ticket is worth at least $25 is 0.05412 .

Answers

Answer:

We have the magnitude, M, and the angle A.

(The angle is always measured from the +x-axis)

Then we have that:

x = M*cos(A)

y = M*sin(A)

in this case:

M = 9m

A = -80°

x = 9m*cos(-80°) = 1.562

y = 9m*sin(-80) = -8.86m

Now, the component parallel to the x axis is:

x = 9m*cos(-80°) = 1.562 m

And the slope of something parallel to the x-axis is always zero, as this is a constant line.

How would the margin of error change if the sample size increased from 200 to 400 students? Assume that the proportion of students who say yes does not change significantly.

Answers

Answer:

(MOE) the Margin of Error will decrease by the square root of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Margin of Error (MOE) is an inverse function of sample size n ( more precisely of the square root of sample size ). That relation means changes in sample size ( keeping constant other variables of the distribution) will imply opposite changes in the Margin of Error. If we double the sample size increasing it from 200 up to 400,  the Margin of Error will decrease by the square root of 2

In this triangle, which of the following is true?​

Answers

We know that this is a right triangle, so one of the sides has to be 90 (indicated by the square on the corner)  The angles of all triangles must add to exactly 180.  Subtract 90 and 35 from 180

If we do that, we get 55.  We know that the unknown angle is 55 now.  Now, it asks us for b.  We can pythagoras theorem which states that (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)  We already know c (c is 20)  It does not tell us 2 of the sides but we do know that the answer is either B or D.  

The side opposite of 90* should be the largest.  The size opposite of 55 would be the second largest one.  The side opposite of 35 would be the smallest one.  Using pythagoras theorem again, I can try plugging in both 11.47 and 16.38 with c^2 - b^2 = a^2  

11.47:

400 - 132 =268  (sq root now = 16.37) this would mean that A is larger than B.  B should be larger than A.  Try the other one

16.37:

400 -268 = 132 (sq root = 16.37) this would mean that B is larger than A which is what we want.

Thus, 16.37  = B and the last option would be correct (D)

Answers

Answer:

Option C - Reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the mean salary offer for accounting graduates of this university is higher than the national average of $48,722.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all let's define the hypothesis;

Null hypothesis;H0; μ = $48,722

Alternative hypothesis;Ha; μ > $48,722

Now, let's find the test statistic for the z-score. Formula is;

z = (x' - μ)/(σ/√n)

We are given;

x' = 48,722

μ = 49,870

σ = 3900

n = 50

Thus;

z = (49870- 48722)/(3900/√50)

z = 2.08

So from online p-value calculator as attached, using z = 2.08 and α = 0.05 ,we have p = 0.037526

This p-value of 0.037526 is less than the significance value of 0.05,thus, we reject the claim that that the mean salary offer for accounting graduates of this university is higher than the national average of $48,722

Find the doubling time of an investment earning 8% interest if interest is compounded continuously. The doubling time of an investment earning 8% interest if interest is compounded continuously is ____ years.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using FV = PV(1 + r)^n where FV = future value, PV = present value, r = interest rate per period, and n = # of periods

1/PV (FV) = (PV(1 + r^n)1/PV divide by PV

ln(FV/PV) = ln(1 + r^n) convert to natural log function

ln(FV/PV) = n[ln(1 + r)] by simplifying

n = ln(FV/PV) / ln(1 + r) solve for n

n = ln(2/1) / ln(1 + .08) solve for n, letting FV + 2, PV = 1 and rate = 8% or .08 compound annually

n = 9

n = ln(2/1) / ln(1 + .08/12) solve for n, letting FV + 2, PV = 1 and rate = .08/12 compound monthly

n = 104 months or 8.69 years

n = ln(2/1) / ln(1 + .08/365) solve for n, letting FV + 2, PV = 1 & rate = .08/365 compound daily

n = 3163 days or 8.67 years

Alternatively

A = P e ^(rt)

Given that r = 8%

= 8/100

= 0.08

2 = e^(0.08t)

ln(2)/0.08 = t

0.6931/0.08 = t

t= 8.664yrs

t = 8.67yrs

The interquartile range = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Consider the following ordered data. 6 9 9 10 11 11 12 13 14

From the above dataset, the highest value = 14  and the lowest value = 6

The median is the middle number = 11

For Q1, i.e the median  of the lower half

we have the ordered data = 6, 9, 9, 10

here , we have to values as the middle number , n order to determine the median, the mean will be the mean average of the two middle numbers.

i.e

median = [tex]\dfrac{9+9}{2}[/tex]

median = [tex]\dfrac{18}{2}[/tex]

median = 9

Q3, i.e median of the upper half

we have the ordered data = 11 12 13 14

The same use case is applicable here.

Median = [tex]\dfrac{12+13}{2}[/tex]

Median = [tex]\dfrac{25}{2}[/tex]

Median = 12.5

Low             Q1                Median              Q3                 High

6                  9                     11                      12.5                14

The interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

The interquartile range =  12.5 - 9

The interquartile range = 3.5

Answers

Answer:

15.7 in  

Step-by-step explanation:

A slice of a round pie is a sector of a circle.

The perimeter of a slice is the arc length s plus twice the radius r.

P = s + 2r

s = rθ = r(16/360) = r/22.5. So,

16 = (r/22.5) + 2r = (r + 45r)/22.5 = 46r/22.5

16 × 22.5 = 46r

360 = 46r

r = 7.826  

D = 2r = 2 × 7.826 = 15.7 in

The diameter of the cake should be 15.7 in.

Check:

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}P & = & s + 2r\\& = & \dfrac{r}{22.5} + 2r\\\\16 & = & \dfrac{7.826}{22.5} + 2 \times 7.826\\\\16 & = & 0.35 + 15.65\\16 & = & 16.00\\\end{array}[/tex]

145 147 153 153 167 170 170 172 181 181 181 182 185 185

We can see that 181 occurs the most, 3 times, so it's the mode.

The median of this set will be the middle number(s).

When we take away 6 numbers from both sides we are left with 170 and 172, and the mean of these two numbers is 171. So the median is 171.

We can add all the numbers and divide by 14 to get the mean.

What's the solution of the following linear system? 5x + 2y = 9 –5x – 2y = 3

Answers

━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━

▹ Answer

(-39/35, 9/7)

▹ Step-by-Step Explanation

5y + 2y = 9

-5x - 2y = 3

Solve the equation:

y = 9/7

-5x - 2y = 3

Substitute the value of y:

-5x - 2 * 9/7 = 3

x = -39/35

(x, y) = (-39/35, 9/7)

Hope this helps!

5x + 2y = 9-5x - 2y = 3

To solve this system by addition, we start by adding both of our equations together but notice that the x terms and the y terms cancel out.

This leaves us with 0 on the left side and on the right side,

9 + 13 = 12 so we are left with the equation 0 = 12.

Since 0 = 12 is a false statement, this means that

there is no solution to our system of equations.

Subtract 5p + 8q from the sum of 5p + 4q and – 9p + 69.

Answers

Answer:

-9p -4q + 69

Step-by-step explanation:

5p +4q + (-9p +69)

=> 5p + 4q -9p +69

=> -4p +4q +69

Now, we need to subtract 5p +8q from -4p + 4q +69

=> -4p +4q +69 - (5p +8q)

=> -4p + 4q +69 - 5p -8q

=> -9p -4q + 69

Answer: -9p - 4q + 69

Explanation:

(5p + 4q + (-9)p + 69) - (5p + 8q)
= 5p + 4q - 9p + 69 - 5p - 8q
= -9p - 4q + 69

- 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?

Answers

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.
