Answer:
Yes it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees
The critical value is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = \$ 59593[/tex]
The sample size is n = 30
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$ 58800[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \$ 1500[/tex]
The significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = \$ 59593[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu < \$ 59593[/tex]
The critical value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] from the normal distribution table is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu}{ \frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{ 58800 - 59593 }{ \frac{ 1500 }{ \sqrt{30} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = -2.896[/tex]
The p-value is obtained from the z-table
[tex]p-value = P(t < -2.896) = 0.0018898[/tex]
Since [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] , we reject the null hypothesis, hence it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees

Answer:
[tex]A.\ 16\sqrt3\ cm^2[/tex] is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Side of an equilateral triangle = 8 cm
To find:
Area of the triangle will be:
[tex]A.\ 16\sqrt3\ cm^2[/tex]
[tex]B.\ \dfrac{32}{3} cm^2[/tex]
[tex]C.\ 48\ cm^2[/tex]
[tex]D.\ 36\sqrt3\ cm^2[/tex]
Solution:
First of all, let us have a look at the formula for area of an equilateral triangle:
[tex]A =\dfrac{\sqrt3}{4}a^2[/tex]
Where [tex]a[/tex] is the side of equilateral triangle and an equilateral triangle is a closed 3 sided structure in 2 dimensions which has all 3 sides equal to each other.
Here, we are given that side, [tex]a=8\ cm[/tex]
Putting the value in formula:
[tex]A =\dfrac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 8^2\\\Rightarrow A =\dfrac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 64\\\Rightarrow A =\sqrt3\times 16\\OR\\\Rightarrow \bold{A =16\sqrt3\ cm^2}[/tex]
Hence, [tex]A.\ 16\sqrt3\ cm^2[/tex] is the correct answer.
. One sample has M = 18 and a second sample has M = 14. If the pooled variance for the two samples is 16, what is the value of Cohen’s d?
Answer:
Cohen's d : 1.00
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that M₁ = 18, and M₂ = 14. Given that the pooled variance for the these two samples are 16, S²Pooled = 16, and therefore S - pooled = 4.
The formula to solve for the value of Cohen's d is as follows,
d = M₁ - M₂ / S - pooled,
d = 18 - 14 / 4 = 4 / 4 = 1
Therefore the value of Cohen's d = 1
Suppose we want to test the color distribution claim on the M&M’s website that a bag of plain M&M’s is made up of 10% blue, 10% orange, 10% green, 20% red, 20% yellow, and 30% brown. We select a sample of 400 plain M&M’s and found the following: Color Blue Orange Green Red Yellow Brown Frequency 30 48 55 66 70 131
Is there evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website? Use =0.05
Answer:
Calculated χ² = 13.425
χ² (5,0.025) >14.45 and χ²(5,0.975) <1.24
The given data does not fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude there is no evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website.
Step-by-step explanation:
Color Blue Orange Green Red Yellow Brown
Frequency 30 48 55 66 70 131
Expected 40 40 40 80 80 120
H0: The bag of plain M&Ms is made up of 10% blue, 10% orange, 10% green, 20% red, 20% yellow, and 30% brown
Ha: The color distribution is not equal to the distribution stated in the null hypothesis.
Calculate chi square
χ² = (30-40)² /40 + (48-40)²/40 + (55-40)²/40 + (66-80)²/80 + (70-80)²/80 + (131-120)²/120
χ² = 2.5 + 1.6 + 5.625 + 2.45 + 1.25= 13.425
The critical region for χ² for 5 degrees of freedom with ∝= 0.05 is
χ² (5,0.025) >14.45 and χ²(5,0.975) <1.24
The given data does not fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude there is no evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website.
A ladder leans against a vertical at angle of 60° to the wall of the foot of the ladder is 5m away from the wall calculate the length of the ladder
Answer:
Your question indicates the ladder is at an angle of 60° to the wall, meaning the angle between the wall and the ladder is 60° and the angle between the ladder and the ground must be 30°. Not a very efficient way to set up a ladder.
5.7735 meters. The top of the ladder is 2.8868 meters off the ground.
Now, if you meant the ladder is 60° from the ground, that’s a different story.
Then, the ladder is 10 meters long and reaches 8.6603 meters from the ground.
A 30–60–90 right triangle is half of an equalateral triangle. Therefore the hypotenuse is double the length of the short leg, and by the Pythagorean theorum, we can determine that the other leg is the length of the short leg times the square root of 3.
All lengths in this answer are rounded to the nearest tenth of a millimeter.

Musah stands at the centre of a rectangular field. He first takes 50 steps north, then 25 steps
west and finally 50 steps on a bearing of 3150
.
i. Sketch Musah’s movement
ii. How far west is Musah’s final point from the centre?
iii. How far north is Musah’s final point from the centre?
iv. Describe how you would guide a JHS student to find the bearing and distance of
Musah’s final point from the centre.
Answer:
ii. 75 steps
iii. 75 steps
iv. 106 steps, and [tex]315^{0}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Musah's starting point be A, his waiting point after taking 50 steps northward and 25 steps westward be B, and his stopping point be C.
ii. From the second attachment, Musah's distance due west from A to C (AD) can be determined as;
bearing at B = [tex]315^{0}[/tex], therefore <BCD = [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
To determine distance AB,
[tex]/AB/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/50/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/25/^{2}[/tex]
= 25000 + 625
= 3125
AB = [tex]\sqrt{3125}[/tex]
= 55.90
AB ≅ 56 steps
Thus, AC = 50 steps + 56 steps
= 106 steps
From ΔACD,
Sin [tex]45^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{106}[/tex]
⇒ x = 106 × Sin [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
= 74.9533
≅ 75 steps
Musah's distance west from centre to final point is 75 steps
iii. From the secon attachment, Musah's distance north, y, can be determined by;
Cos [tex]45^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y}{106}[/tex]
⇒ y = 106 × Cos [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
= 74.9533
≅ 75 steps
Musah's distance north from centre to final point is 75 steps.
iv. Musah's distance from centre to final point is AC = AB + BC
= 50 steps + 56 steps
= 106 steps
From ΔACD,
Tan θ = [tex]\frac{75}{75}[/tex]
= 1.0
θ = [tex]Tan^{-1}[/tex] 1.0
= [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
Musah's bearing from centre to final point = [tex]45^{0}[/tex] + [tex]270^{0}[/tex]
= [tex]315^{0}[/tex]

Megan has 12 pounds of cheesecake. On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. On Sunday, how many pounds of cheesecake does Megan have left?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we start with 12 pounds
On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.
On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.
On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15
On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.
On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.
On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.
On Sunday, she finally has 3 pounds.

factor 2/3 about the origin. Find the endpoints of the dilated line segment.
OA) (-2, 4), (6,8)
B) (2, 4). (6,8)
OC) (4, -2), (6,8)
OD) (-2,4), (8,6)
Answer: A) (-2, 4), (6,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
When a point (x,y) is dilated by a scale factor of k , then the new points is given by (kx,ky).
Given: The line segment AB with endpoints A(-3, 6) and B(9, 12) is dilated with a scale factor [tex]\dfrac23[/tex] about the origin.
Let A' and B' b the endpoints of the dilated line segment.
Then, [tex]A'(\dfrac{2}{3}(-3), \dfrac23(6))=A'(-2,4)[/tex]
[tex]B'(\dfrac{2}{3}(9), \dfrac23(12))=B'(6,8)[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is A) (-2, 4), (6,8)
Given a dataset with the following properties:
mean = 50
median = 40
standard deviation = 5
What is the shape of the distribution?
Answer:
The distribution is positively skewed.
Step-by-step explanation:
A measure of skewness is defined in such a way that the measure should always be zero when the distribution is symmetric and measure should be a pure number i.e independent of origin and units of measurement.
The shape of the distribution can be found by finding the coefficient of skewness.
The coefficient of skewness can be found by
Sk= 3(Mean-Median)/ Standard Deviation
Sk= 3( 50-40)5= 30/5=6
The shape will be positively skewed.
In a positively skewed distribution the mean > median > mode. It has a long right tail.
Using the skewness formula, it is found that the distribution is right-skewed.
------------------
The skewness of a data-set with mean M, median [tex]M_e[/tex] and standard deviation s is given by:[tex]S = \frac{3(M - M_e)}{s}[/tex]
If |S| < 0.5, the distribution is said to be symmetric.If S <-0.5, the distribution is left-skewed.If S > 0.5, the distribution is right-skewed.------------------
Mean of 50, thus, [tex]M = 50[/tex]Median of 40, thus [tex]M_e = 40[/tex]Standard deviation of 5, thus, [tex]s = 5[/tex]The coefficient is:
[tex]S = \frac{3(M - M_e)}{s} = \frac{3(50 - 40)}{5} = \frac{30}{5} = 6[/tex]
Thus, the distribution is right-skewed.

how do you figure out ratios? the problem is 12 quarters to 34 dollars. thanks
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have a ratio, you put one number as the numerator and than one number as the denominator.
so it would be (12/34)=(x/68)
In this example I made the ratio you are comparing it to have 68 dollars, so when you solve for the amount of quarters you need it should be 24, since all of the numbers in this example are just being doubled.
To solve for x, you multiply 68 on both sides of the equation, 68×(12/34)=x
24=x
So this proves that this is how ratios, are used. It also does not matter what number you place on the numerator or denominator.
Sherina wrote and solved the equation. x minus 56 = 230. x minus 56 minus 56 = 230 minus 56. x = 174. What was Sherina’s error?
Answer:
subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)
Step-by-step explanation:
She wrote ...
x - 56 = 230
x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*
x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification
Correctly done, the third line would be ...
x -112 = 174
This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...
x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality
x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides
__
There were two errors:
1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding
2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112
We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.
_____
* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.
Answer:
D: Sherina should have added 56 to both sides of the equation.

consider the bevariate data below about Advanced Mathematics and English results for a 2015 examination scored by 14 students in a particular school.The raw score of the examination was out of 100 marks.
Questions:
a)Draw a scatter graph
b)Draw a line of Best Fit
c)Predict the Advance Mathematics mark of a student who scores 30 of of 100 in English.
d)calculate the correlation using the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient Formula
e) Determine the strength of the correlation
Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Enter the data in an Excel sheet.
(a)
Go to Insert → Chart → Scatter.
Select the first type of Scatter chart.
The scatter plot is attached below.
(b)
The scatter plot with the line of best fit is attached below.
The line of best fit is:
[tex]y=-0.8046x+103.56[/tex]
(c)
Compute the value of x for y = 30 as follows:
[tex]y=-0.8046x+103.56[/tex]
[tex]30=-0.8046x+103.56\\\\0.8046x=103.56-30\\\\x=\frac{73.56}{0.8046}\\\\x\approx 91.42[/tex]
Thus, the Advance Mathematics mark of a student who scores 30 out of 100 in English is 91.42.
(d)
The Pearson's Correlation Coefficient is:
[tex]r=\frac{n\cdot \sum XY-\sum X\cdot \sum Y}{\sqrt{[n\cdot \sum X^{2}-(\sum X)^{2}][n\cdot \sum Y^{2}-(\sum Y)^{2}]}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{14\cdot 44010-835\cdot 778}{\sqrt{[14\cdot52775-(825)^{2}][14\cdot 47094-(778)^{2}]}}\\\\= -0.7062\\\\\approx -0.71[/tex]
Thus, the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient is -0.71.
(e)
A correlation coefficient between ± 0.50 and ±1.00 is considered as a strong correlation.
The correlation between Advanced Mathematics and English results is -0.71.
This implies that there is a strong negative correlation.

The chart shows a certain city's population by age. Assume that the selections are independent events. If 8 residents of this city are selected at random, find the probability that the first 2 are 65 or older, the next 3 are 25-44 years old, the next 2 are 24 or younger, and the last is 45-64 years old.
Answer:
0.000014
Step-by-step explanation:
The chart is not provided so i will use an example chart to explain the answer. Here is a sample chart:
City X's Population by Age
0-24 years old 33%
25-44 years old 22%
45-64 years old 21%
65 or older 24%
In order to find probability of independent events we find the probability of each event occurring separately and then multiply the calculated probabilities together in the following way:
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
probability that the first 2 are 65 or older
Let A be the event that the first 2 are 65 or older
The probability of 65 or older 24% i.e. 0.24
So the probability that first 2 are 65 or older is:
0.24(select resident 1) * 0.24(select resident 2)
P(A) = 0.24 * 0.24
= 0.0576
P(A) = 0.0576
probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old
Let B be the event that the next 3 are 25-44 years old
25-44 years old 22% i.e. 0.22
So the probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old is:
0.22 * 0.22* 0.22
P(B) = 0.22 * 0.22 * 0.22
= 0.010648
P(B) = 0.010648
probability that next 2 are 24 or younger
Let C be the event that the next 2 are 24 or younger
0-24 years old 33% i.e. 0.33
So the probability that the next 2 are 24 or younger is:
0.33 * 0.33
P(C) = 0.33 * 0.33
= 0.1089
P(C) = 0.1089
probability that last is 45-64 years old
Let D be the event that last is 45-64 years old
45-64 years old 21% i.e. 0.21
So the probability that last is 45-64 years old is:
0.21
P(D) = 0.21
So probability of these independent events is computed as:
P(A and B and C and D) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C) * P(C)
= 0.0576 * 0.010648 * 0.1089 * 0.21
= 0.000014
Consider F and C below.
F(x, y) = x2 i + y2 j
C is the arc of the parabola y = 2x2 from (−1, 2) to (2, 8)
(a) Find a function f such that F = ∇f. f(x, y) =
(b) Use part (a) to evaluate C ∇f · dr along the given curve C.
(a)
[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=x^2\implies f(x,y)=\dfrac{x^3}3+g(y)[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=y^2\implies g(y)=\dfrac{y^3}3+C[/tex]
[tex]\implies f(x,y)=\dfrac{x^3+y^3}3+C[/tex]
(b)
[tex]\displaystyle\int_C\nabla f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r=f(2,8)-f(-1,2)=\boxed{171}[/tex]
The solution system to 3y-2x=-9 and y=-2x+5
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{(3,-1)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
Well to find the solution the the given system,
3y - 2x = -9
y = -2x + 5
So to find x lets plug in -2x + 5 for y in 3y - 2x = -9.
3(-2x + 5) - 2x = -9
Distribute
-6x + 15 - 2x = -9
-8x + 15 = -9
-15 to both sides
-8x = -24
Divide -8 to both sides
x = 3
Now that we have x which is 3, we can plug in 3 for x in y = -2x + 5.
y = -2(3) + 5
y = -6 + 5
y = -1
So the solution is (3,-1).
Hope this helps :)
The head of a computer science department is interested in estimating the proportion of students entering the department who will choose the new computer engineering option. Suppose there is not information about the proportion of students who might choose the option. What size sample should the department head take if he wants to be 95% confident that the estimate is within 0.10 of the true proportion
Answer:
96
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
At 95% Confidence interval level,Level of significance [tex]\alpha[/tex] 0.05, the value of Z from the standard normal tables = 1.96
Margin of Error = 0.10
Let assume that the estimated proportion = 0.5
therefore; the sample size n can be determined by using the formula: [tex]n =(\dfrac{Z}{E})^2 \times p\times (1-p)[/tex]
[tex]n =(\dfrac{1.96}{0.1})^2 \times 0.5\times (1-0.5)[/tex]
[tex]n =(19.6)^2 \times 0.5\times (0.5)[/tex]
n = 96.04
n [tex]\approx[/tex] 96
