Answer:
a
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]
=> [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} } * \frac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 14.6 }{\sqrt{30} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 5.225[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]32.7 - 5.225 < \mu < 32.7 + 5.225[/tex]
[tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]

A school newspaper reporter decides to randomly survey 15 students to see if they will attend Tet festivities this year. Based on past years, she knows that 24% of students attend Tet festivities. We are interested in the number of students who will attend the festivities.
Find the probability that at most 4 students will attend. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Answer:
0.70319018
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following:
Number of students surveyed (n) = 15
Probability of attending tet festival (p) = 24% =0.24
Therefore,
Probability of not attending (1 - p) = (1 - 0.24) = 0.76.
The probability that at most 4 students will attend can be obtained using the binomial probability relation:
p(x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n-x)
At most 4 students means:
p(x=0) + p(x=1) + p(x=2) + p(x=3) + p(x=4)
p(x=0) = 15C0 * 0.24^0 * 0.76^(15 - 0)
p(x=0) = 1 * 1 * 0.0004701 = 0.00047018
p(x=1) = 15C1 * 0.24^1 * 0.76^(14)
p(x=1) = 15 * 0.24 * 0.021448 = 0.07721
p(x=2) = 15C2 * 0.24^2 * 0.76^(13) =
p(x=2) = 105 * 0.0576 * 0.02822 = 0.17068
p(x=3) = 15C3 * 0.24^3 * 0.76^(12)
p(x=3) = 455 * 0.013824 * 0.037133 = 0.23356
p(x=4) = 15C4 * 0.24^4 * 0.76^(11) =
p(x=4) = 1365 * 0.0033177 * 0.048859 = 0.22127
0.00047018 + 0.07721 + 0.17068 + 0.23356 + 0.22127 = 0.70319018

The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 6 to 5 . If there were 4545 no votes, what was the total number of votes?
Answer:
The total number of votes= 9999
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of vote specifically the ratio of yes to no vote in a city vote is 6 to 5.
There is a total of 4545 no votes.
Yes/no = 6/5
Yes= no(6/5)
Yes= 4545(6/5)
Yes= 5454
The total number of yes votes are 5454.
The total number of votes= yes votes+ no votes
The total number of votes= 5454+4545
The total number of votes= 9999
A slot machine has 3 dials. Each dial has 30 positions, one of which is "Jackpot". To win the jackpot, all three dials must be in the "Jackpot" position. Assuming each play spins the dials and stops each independently and randomly, what are the odds of one play winning the jackpot?
since there are 3 slots and each slot has 30 positions:
dial 1 can have a max of 30 possible outcomes, and so can dial 2 and 3
hence all the dial have 30 possible outcomes
total combinations = total outcomes of slot 1 X total outcomes of slot 2 X total outcomes of slot 3/ 3!
total combinations = 30 * 30 * 30 / 3 X 2 X 1
total combinations = 9000/3 X 2
total combinations = 1500
hence, there is a total of 1500 different combinations of the 3 slots
the combination required is 1 from the 1500
hence the odds are 1/1500
Answer:
1/27000
Step-by-step explanation:
30*30*30 =27000
each dial has to be in correct position so 1/27000 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, a projectile is fired vertically upward from a height of 300 feet above the ground, with an initial velocity of 900 ft/s.
The general equation with which a projectile are modled by the function is given by :
[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.

There are 2229 students in a school district. Among a sample of 452 students from this school district, 163 have mathematics scores below grade level. Based on this sample, estimate the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level.
a. 804
b. 844
c. 884
d. 0.36
Answer:
A. 804Step-by-step explanation:
Given the total number of students in the school to be 2229 students. If among a sample of 452 students from this school district, 163 have mathematics scores below grade level, then we can determine the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level based on the sample scores using ratio.
Let the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level be x. The ratio of the students with math score below grade level to total population will be x:2229
Also, the ratio of the sample students with math score below grade level to sample population will be 163:452
On equating both ratios, we will have;
x:2229 = 163:452
[tex]\dfrac{x}{2229} = \dfrac{163}{452}\\ \\cross\ multiplying;\\\\\\452*x = 2229*163\\\\x = \dfrac{2229*163}{452}\\ \\x = \frac{363,327}{452}\\ \\x = 803.8\\\\x \approx 804[/tex]
Hence the estimate of the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level based on the sample is 804

0.07254
Step-by-step explanation:
1)7.619*10^-3
0.007619
2)7.254*10^2
0.07254
Explanation:
7.619*10^-3
The number here is 7.619 and the number written in scientific notation has minus 3 as its exponent.
.007.619
So the distance between the first decimal point and the second decimal is only three numbers.
Since it is exponent is minus three.
Another way to get the answer.
[tex]7.619 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} = \frac{7619}{1000} \times \frac{1}{1000} = \frac{7619}{1000000} = 0.007619 [/tex]
This applies to the second one too.
Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤

The minute hand of a watch has a length of 1.4 cm. Find the; (a) distance moved by the tip of the minute hand from 8.13 am to 8.49 am. (b) angle swept by the minute hand if the tip moves 8.8 mm (c)time it will bee when the minute hand sweeps the angle calculated in (b), if the minute hand started moving at 8.39 am
Answer:
A). The distance covered= 5.2752 cm
B). Angle swept = 36°
C). The time = 8:45 am
Step-by-step explanation:
The watch is assumed to be a circle while the minute hand is assumed to be the radius
Radius = 1.4cm
A). From 8:13 to 8:49= 36 minutes
Recall, there is 60 minutes in a round watch.
The distance covered= 2πr*36/60
The distance covered= 2*3.14*1.4*0.6
The distance covered= 5.2752 cm
B). If distance covered is 8.8 mm
8.8 mm = 0.88cm
0.88= 2*3.14*1.4*(x/360)
0.88/(8.792)=x/360
0.1= x/360
0.1= x/360
36°= x
Angle swept = 36°
C). The time it will be if the watch started from 8:39 am and moved 36°
36/360= y/60
0.1= y/60
0.1*60= y
6 minutes= y
The time with be 8:39+6 minutes
The time = 8:45 am
In one city, 35% of all aluminum cans distributed will be recycled each year. A juice company distributes 110,000 cans. The number still in use after time t, in years, is given by
Answer: [tex]n(t) = 110000(0.35)^t[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Rate of of all aluminum cans distributed will be recycled each year. = 35%
= 0.35
Total cans distributed = 110,000
Now , the number of cans recycled in 1 year = 110,000 ×0.35
The number of cans recycled in 2 years = 110,000 ×0.35 ×0.35 = 110,000 ×(0.35)²
..so on
The number of cans recycled in t years = [tex]110000(0.35)^t[/tex]
Let n(t) be the number still in use after time t, in years:
Then, [tex]n(t) = 110000(0.35)^t[/tex]

6. Classify the traianle as scalene, isosceles or equilateral. Explain. Leave answers in square root form.
TAL
Answer:
isosceles
Step-by-step explanation:
The point B is located on the perpendicular bisector of AC. No calculation is necessary. AC has a slope of 1, so it is easy to count grid squares to see where the perpendicular bisector goes.
When the altitude of the triangle bisects the side opposite the vertex, it is an isosceles triangle.
_____
Apparently, you're to use the distance formula to determine the lengths of the sides of the triangle. Doing that, you would find ...
AB² = (6-4)² +(1 -6)² = 4 + 25
CB² = (6-1)² +(1-3)² = 25 + 4
At this point, it doesn't require much thought to realize these sides are the same length: √29.

pls helpppp find the total area of the prism
Answer:
Total area = [tex](54+\frac{9\sqrt{3} }{2})[/tex] square inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Total area of the prism = Area of the rectangular sides (lateral sides) + area of the triangular bases
Area of the rectangular sides = 3 × (length × width)
= 3 × (3 × 6)
= 54 square inch
Area of the triangular bases = 2 × (Area of an equilateral triangle)
= 2 × [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(\text{Side})^2[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(\text{Side})^2[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(3)^2[/tex]
= [tex]9(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2})[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex] square inch
Total surface area = (54 + [tex]\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]) square inch

1. Approximate the given quantity using a Taylor polynomial with n3.
2. Compute the absolute error in the approximation assuming the exact value is given by a calculator.
Fourth underroot(94)
a. p3(94)
b. absolute error
Answer:
See the explanation for the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given function:
[tex]f(x) = x^{1/4}[/tex]
The n-th order Taylor polynomial for function f with its center at a is:
[tex]p_{n}(x) = f(a) + f'(a) (x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!} (x-a)^{2} +...+\frac{f^{(n)}a}{n!} (x-a)^{n}[/tex]
As n = 3 So,
[tex]p_{3}(x) = f(a) + f'(a) (x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!} (x-a)^{2} +...+\frac{f^{(3)}a}{3!} (x-a)^{3}[/tex]
[tex]p_{3}(x) = f(a) + f'(a) (x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!} (x-a)^{2} +...+\frac{f^{(3)}a}{6} (x-a)^{3}[/tex]
[tex]p_{3}(x) = a^{1/4} + \frac{1}{4a^{ 3/4} } (x-a)+ (\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{3}{16a^{7/4} } ) (x-a)^{2} + (\frac{1}{6})(\frac{21}{64a^{11/4} } ) (x-a)^{3}[/tex]
[tex]p_{3}(x) = 81^{1/4} + \frac{1}{4(81)^{ 3/4} } (x-81)+ (\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{3}{16(81)^{7/4} } ) (x-81)^{2} + (\frac{1}{6})(\frac{21}{64(81)^{11/4} } ) (x-81)^{3}[/tex]
[tex]p_{3} (x)[/tex] = 3 + 0.0092592593 (x - 81) + 1/2 ( - 0.000085733882) (x - 81)² + 1/6
(0.0000018522752) (x-81)³
[tex]p_{3} (x)[/tex] = 0.0092592593 x - 0.000042866941 (x - 81)² + 0.00000030871254
(x-81)³ + 2.25
Hence approximation at given quantity i.e.
x = 94
Putting x = 94
[tex]p_{3} (94)[/tex] = 0.0092592593 (94) - 0.000042866941 (94 - 81)² +
0.00000030871254 (94-81)³ + 2.25
= 0.87037 03742 - 0.000042866941 (13)² + 0.00000030871254(13)³ +
2.25
= 0.87037 03742 - 0.000042866941 (169) +
0.00000030871254(2197) + 2.25
= 0.87037 03742 - 0.007244513029 + 0.0006782414503 + 2.25
[tex]p_{3} (94)[/tex] = 3.113804102621
Compute the absolute error in the approximation assuming the exact value is given by a calculator.
Compute [tex]\sqrt[4]{94}[/tex] as [tex]94^{1/4}[/tex] using calculator
Exact value:
[tex]E_{a}[/tex](94) = 3.113737258478
Compute absolute error:
Err = | 3.113804102621 - 3.113737258478 |
Err (94) = 0.000066844143
If you round off the values then you get error as:
|3.11380 - 3.113737| = 0.000063
Err (94) = 0.000063
If you round off the values up to 4 decimal places then you get error as:
|3.1138 - 3.1137| = 0.0001
Err (94) = 0.0001
Find the slope of the line whose x-intercept is 4 and the y- intercept is -9
Answer:
y = (9/4)x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept is (4, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, -9).
As we move from (0, -9) to (4, 0), x (the 'run' increases by 4 and y (the 'rise' increases by 9. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise/run = 9/4, from which we can write the desired equation in the form y = mx + b:
y = (9/4)x - 9
Determine the number of degrees of freedom for the two-sample t test or CI in each of the following situations. (Round your answers down to the nearest whole number.)
(a) m = 12, n = 15, s1 = 4.0, s2 = 6.0
(b) m = 12, n = 21, s1 = 4.0, s2 = 6.0
(c) m = 12, n = 21, s1 = 3.0, s2 = 6.0
(d) m = 10, n = 24, s1 = 4.0, s2 = 6.0
Answer:
a
[tex]df = 24.32[/tex]
b
[tex]df = 30.10[/tex]
c
[tex]df = 30.7[/tex]
d
[tex]df = 25.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally degree of freedom is mathematically represented as
[tex]df = \frac{ [\frac{ s^2_i }{m} + \frac{ s^2_j }{n} ]^2 }{ \frac{ [ \frac{s^2_i}{m} ]^2 }{m-1 } +\frac{ [ \frac{s^2_j}{n} ]^2 }{n-1 } }[/tex]
Considering a
a) m = 12, n = 15, s1 = 4.0, s2 = 6.0
[tex]df = \frac{ [\frac{ 4^2 }{12} + \frac{ 6^2 }{15} ]^2 }{ \frac{ [ \frac{4^2}{12} ]^2 }{12-1 } +\frac{ [ \frac{6^2}{15} ]^2 }{15-1 } }[/tex]
[tex]df = 24.32[/tex]
Considering b
(b) m = 12, n = 21, s1 = 4.0, s2 = 6.0
[tex]df = \frac{ [\frac{ 4^2 }{12} + \frac{ 6^2 }{21} ]^2 }{ \frac{ [ \frac{4^4}{12} ]^2 }{12-1 } +\frac{ [ \frac{6^2}{21} ]^2 }{21-1 } }[/tex]
[tex]df = 30.10[/tex]
Considering c
(c) m = 12, n = 21, s1 = 3.0, s2 = 6.0
[tex]df = \frac{ [\frac{ 3^2 }{12} + \frac{ 6^2 }{21} ]^2 }{ \frac{ [ \frac{3^4}{12} ]^2 }{12-1 } +\frac{ [ \frac{6^2}{21} ]^2 }{21-1 } }[/tex]
[tex]df = 30.7[/tex]
Considering c
(d) m = 10, n = 24, s1 = 4.0, s2 = 6.0
[tex]df = \frac{ [\frac{ 4^2 }{10} + \frac{ 6^2 }{24} ]^2 }{ \frac{ [ \frac{4^2}{10} ]^2 }{10-1 } +\frac{ [ \frac{6^2}{24} ]^2 }{24-1 } }[/tex]
[tex]df = 25.5[/tex]
