Answer:
20.8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that hours (h) varies inversely with age (a) then the equation relating them is
h = [tex]\frac{k}{a}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition h = 52 when a = 20, thus
52 = [tex]\frac{k}{20}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 20 )
1040 = k
h = [tex]\frac{1040}{a}[/tex] ← equation of variation
When a = 50, then
h = [tex]\frac{1040}{50}[/tex] = 20.8 hours

A bike wheel is 26 inches in diameter. What is the bike wheel's diameter in millimeters (1 inch = 25.4 millimeters)?
Answer:
Diameter of wheel in millimetres is 660.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Diameter of wheel in inches = 26
given
1 inch = 25.4 millimeters
multiplying RHS and LHS by 26
26*1 inch = 26*25.4 millimeters
=>26 inch = 660.4 mm.
Thus, diameter of wheel in millimetres is 660.4
In a study of treatments for very painful "cluster" headaches, 140 patients were treated with oxygen and 158 other patients were given a placebo consisting of ordinary air. Among the 140 patients in the oxygen treatment group, 113 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment. Among the 158 patients given the placebo, 35 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment. Use a significance level to test the claim that the oxygen treatment is effective. A) Find test statistic z B) Find the P-value C) Construct the appropriate confidence interval D) determine if the oxygen treatment is effective
Answer:
A
[tex]t = 10.1[/tex]
B
[tex]p-value = p(t > 10.1)= 0.000[/tex]
C
[tex]0.4714 < p_1 - p_2 <0.6988[/tex]
D
The oxygen treatment is effective because
1 the is no 0 in the interval telling us that the treatments are different
2 the upper and the lower limit are positive tell us that the proportion of those treated by the oxygen treatment is greater
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The first sample size is [tex]n_1 = 140[/tex]
The number of patient which the oxygen cured is k = 113
The second sample size is [tex]n_2 = 158[/tex]
The number of patient that placebo cured is l = 35
The first sample proportion is
[tex]\r p_1 = \frac{ 113}{140 }[/tex]
[tex]\r p_1 = 0.8071[/tex]
The second sample proportion is
[tex]\r p_2 = \frac{ 35}{ 158 }[/tex]
[tex]\r p_2 = 0.222[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p_1 = p_2[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : p_1 > p_2[/tex]
Let assume the level of significance be[tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Generally the pooled proportion is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]p = \frac{p1 * n1 + p2 * n2}{n1 + n2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]p = \frac{0.8071 * 140 + 0.222 * 158}{140 + 158}[/tex]
[tex]p = 0.4969[/tex]
Generally the standard error is mathematically represented
[tex]SE = \sqrt{ p(1- p ) * [ \frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_1}] }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]SE = \sqrt{ 0.4969(1- 0.4969 ) * [ \frac{1}{140} + \frac{1}{158}] }[/tex]
[tex]SE = 0.0580[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{ \r p_1 - \r p_2}{ SE}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{ 0.8071 -0.222}{ 0.0580}[/tex]
[tex]t = 10.1[/tex]
The p-value is from the normal distribution table as
[tex]p-value = p(t > 10.1)= 0.000[/tex]
given that [tex]t< \alpha[/tex] the null hypothesis is rejected
From the normal distribution table the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically the represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * SE[/tex]
[tex]E = 1.96 * 0.0580[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.1137[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex](\r p_1 - \r p_2) - E < p_1 - p_2 < (\r p_1 - \r p_2) + E[/tex]
substituting value
[tex](0.8071 - 0.222) - 0.1137 < p_1 - p_2 < (0.8071 - 0.222) + 0.1137[/tex]
[tex]0.4714 < p_1 - p_2 <0.6988[/tex]
The oxygen treatment is effective because
1 the is no 0 in the interval telling us that the treatments are different
2 the upper and the lower limit are positive tell us that the proportion of those treated by the oxygen treatment is greater

A random sample of 149 recent donations at a certain blood bank reveals that 76 were type A blood. Does this suggest that the actual percentage of type A donations differs from 40%, the percentage of the population having type A blood? Carry out a test of appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.01. Would your conclusion have been different if a significance level of 0.05 has been used?
Answer:
Yes it suggest that the actual percentage of type A donations differs from 40%, the percentage of the population having type A blood.
Well if a significance level of 0.05 is used it will not affect the conclusion
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is [tex]n = 149[/tex]
The number that where type A blood is k = 76
The population proportion is [tex]p = 0.40[/tex]
The significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as
[tex]\r p = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]
=> [tex]\r p = \frac{76}{149}[/tex]
=> [tex]\r p = 0.51[/tex]
The Null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p = 0.41[/tex]
The Alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : p \ne 0.40[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] from the z-table.The value is
[tex]Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.01} = 1.28[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\r p - p }{ \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{0.51 - 0.40 }{ \sqrt{ \frac{0.40 (1-0.40 )}{149} } }[/tex]
[tex]t =2.74[/tex]
So looking at the values for t and [tex]Z_{0.01}[/tex] we see that [tex]t > Z_{0.01}[/tex] so we reject the null hypothesis. Which means that there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim
Now if [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex] , the from the z-table the critical value for [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex] is [tex]Z_{0.05} = 1.645[/tex]
So comparing the value of t and [tex]Z_{0.05} = 1.645[/tex] we see that [tex]t > Z_{0.05}[/tex] hence the conclusion would not be different.
I need help please, m bda =
And m bca =
Step-by-step explanation:
Exterior angle BOA = 250°
Interior angle BOA = 360°- 250° = 110°
Now,
(A) BDA = interior angle BOA / 2 = 55°( Property of circles)
(B) From the figure, we observe that AOBC is a cyclic quadrilateral (i.e. sum of opposite angles is 180°).
Therefore, BCA + BOA = 180°
BCA = 180° - 110° = 70°
Andrea is told that the means of two groups in a study were statistically significant. She knows the means and standard deviations of the two groups and is interested in calculating an estimate of effect size. Given this information, which effect size estimate should she calculate
Answer:
Cohen's D
Step-by-step explanation:
Cohen's D is a statistic that measures effect size. It shows standardised difference between 2 means.
Effect size is defined as how large the effect of a something is or its magnitude.
Cohen's D works effectively when the sample is >50 (that is for large samples). However a correction factor can be used to make results from small samples more accurate
The formular for Cohen's D is:
D = (mean1 - mean2) ÷ (√({standard deviation1}^2 + {standard deviation 2}^2)/2)
This is the most appropriate method in the given scenario
Fine the surface area
Answer:
88 if a rectangular prism, 64 based on the net.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 4 * 2
B = 6 * 2
C = 4 * 2
D = 6 * 2
E = 6 * 4
A/C= 8
B/D= 12
E = 24
2(8) + 2(12) + 24 = 64
Surface Area: 64
However, a rectangular prism must have 6 faces, so unless this is a box, the answer would be 88, and E = F, the last face.
When traveling with the wind, it takes an airplane 3 hours to travel 1800 miles. It takes the same airplane 3.6 hours to travel the same 1800 miles when traveling against the wind. Assuming the airplane travels at a constant speed during both trips, what is the speed of the airplane and the speed of the wind?
Answer:
The speed of the airplane in still air is 550 mph.
The speed of the wind is 50 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = distance / time
distance = speed * time
or simply
d = st
Let v be the speed of the airplane with no wind.
Let w = speed of wind
With the wind:
d = 1800; s = v + w; t = 3
1800 = 3(v + w)
Against the wind:
d = 1800; s = v - w; t = 3.6
1800 = 3.6(v - w)
We have a system of two equations:
3(v + w) = 1800
3.6(v - w) = 1800
Divide both sides of the first equation by 3. Divide both sides of the second equation by 3.6.
v + w = 600
v - w = 500
Add the equations.
2v = 1100
v = 550
The speed of the airplane in still air is 550 mph.
v + w = 600
550 + w = 600
w = 50
The speed of the wind is 50 mph.

If A and B are independent events with P( A) = 0.35 and P( B) = 0.55, then P( A| B) is:_________.
a. .19
b. 1.57
c. .64
d. .91
Answer:
P( A| B)= 0.35. None of the options are correctStep-by-step explanation:
Two events A and B are said to be independent if the occurrence of one of the events does not affect the other occurring. For example, the event of tossing two coins is an independent event since they occur simultaneously. Two events are therefore independent if the following are true.
P(A|B) = P(A)
P(B|A) = P(B)
P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)
If A and B are independent events with P( A) = 0.35 and P( B) = 0.55,
then P( A| B) is a probability of A occurring provided that B has occurred. This is known as conditional probability for an independent event.
From the condition above for independent events, P(A|B) = P(A) and since P(A) = 0.35, hence P(A|B) =0.35

Reducing scrap of 4-foot planks of hardwood is an important factor in reducing cost at a wood-floor manufacturing company. Accordingly, engineers at Lumberworks are investigating a potential new cutting method involving lateral sawing that may reduce the scrap rate. To examine its viability, two independent, random, representative samples of planks were examined. One sample contained 200 planks which were sawed using the old method. The other sample contained 400 planks which were sawed using the new method. Sixty-two of the 200 planks were scrapped under the old method of sawing, whereas 36 of the 400 planks were scrapped under the new method.
Required:
a. Construct the 90% confidence interval for the difference between the population scrap rates between the old and new methods, respectively.
b. Write the null and alternative hypotheses to test for differences in the population scrap rates between the old and new cutting methods, respectively.
c. Using the part a results, can we conclude at the 10% significance level that the scrap rate of the new method is different than the old method?
Answer:
The critical value for two tailed test at alpha=0.1 is ± 1.645
The calculated z= 9.406
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulate the hypotheses as
H0: p1= p2 there is no difference between the population scrap rates between the old and new cutting methods
Ha : p1≠ p2
Choose the significance level ∝= 0.1
The critical value for two tailed test at alpha=0.1 is ± 1.645
The test statistic is
Z = [tex]\frac{p_1- p_2}\sqrt pq(\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2})[/tex]
p1= scrap rate of old method = 62/200=0.31
p2= scrap rate of new method = 36/400= 0.09
p = an estimate of the common scrap rate on the assumption that the two rates are same.
p = n1p1+ n2p2/ n1 + n2
p =200 (0.31) + 400 (0.09) / 600
p= 62+ 36/600= 98/600 =0.1633
now q = 1-p= 1- 0.1633= 0.8367
Thus
z= 0.31- 0.09/ √0.1633*0.8367( 1/200 + 1/400)
z= 0.301/√ 0.13663( 3/400)
z= 0.301/0.0320
z= 9.406
The calculated value of z falls in the critical region therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the 10% significance level that the scrap rate of the new method is different from the old method.
Angela took a general aptitude test and scored in the 90th percentile for aptitude in accounting. (a) What percentage of the scores were at or below her score? % (b) What percentage were above?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information;
Angela took a general aptitude test and scored in the 90th percentile for aptitude in accounting.
What percentage of the scores were at or below her score?
The percentage of scores that were at or below her score is
Percentage P = 90%
This benchmark is more than average, so we can typically say more of the scores were at or below her score
What percentage were above?
Since The percentage of scores that were at or below her score is
Percentage P = 90%
Then the percentage of the scores that were above will be : (100 -90)%
= 10 %
We can see here that less percentage of score were above Angela's Score.

Determine the value of x in the figure. Question 1 options: A) x = 90 B) x = 85 C) x = 45 D) x = 135
Answer:
A.) x=90°
Step-by-step explanation:
Note:
The triangle shown is an isosceles triangle, which means that it has 2 congruent sides (as shown by the small intersecting lines), and this also means that it has two congruent angles.
We are given an angle measure adjacent to one of the missing angles. These two form supplementary angles, which means that they're sum is equal to 180°, or a straight line. So, to find:
[tex]180=135+y[/tex]
y is the unknown angle. Solve for y:
[tex]180-135=y\\\\y=45[/tex]
y is 45°. Since this and the other angle are congruent, add:
[tex]45+45=90[/tex]
Note:
Triangles angles will always add up to a total of 180°.
To find the missing angle x°, use:
[tex]180=a+b+c[/tex]
These are the angles in a triangle. Substitute any known values and solve:
[tex]180=45+45+x\\\\180=90+x\\\\180-90=x\\\\x=90[/tex]
The missing angle x° is 90°.

A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 407 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 20 bag sample had a mean of 397 grams with a standard deviation of 13. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Answer:
Null hypothesis: μ = 407
Alternative hypothesis: μ < 407.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, the machine is SUPPOSED to fill the bag so that the bag weighs 407 grams. So, the null hypothesis will be that the machine is doing what it is supposed to be doing. And so, μ = 407 grams would be the null.
The worker thinks the machine is filling the bags to LESS THAN what it is supposed to. So, the alternative hypothesis is that the machine is NOT doing what it is supposed to and μ < 407 grams.
Hope this helps!

Please help me solve for the median !!!
Answer:
50.93
Step-by-step explanation:
Add up the frequencies:
2 + 5 + 14 + 15 + 21 + 18 + 15 + 9 + 2 = 101
Divide by 2: 101/2 = 50.5
So the median is the 51st number, with 50 below and 50 above.
Add up the frequencies until you find the interval that contains the 51st number.
2 + 5 + 14 + 15 = 36
2 + 5 + 14 + 15 + 21 = 57
So the median is in the group 49.5 − 51.5. To estimate the median, we use interpolation. Find the slope of the line from (36, 49.5) to (57, 51.5).
m = (51.5 − 49.5) / (57 − 36)
m = 2/21
So at x = 51:
2/21 = (y − 49.5) / (51 − 36)
y = 50.93
Nisha is looking out the window of her apartment building at a sculpture in a park across the street. The top of Nisha's window is 80 feet from the ground. The angle of depression from the top of Nisha's window to the bottom of the sculpture is 20°. How far away from the building is the sculpture? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
219.80 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Tan 20= 80/b
Tan 20= 0.363970234266
(0.363970234266)b=80
b= 219.80 feet
The distance between the sculpture and the bottom of the building is required.
The distance between the building and sculpture is 219.80 feet.
Trigonometry[tex]\theta[/tex] = Angle of depression = Angle of elevation = [tex]20^{\circ}[/tex]
p = Height of building = 80 feet
b = Required length
From the trigonometric ratios we have

Answer:
32.8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy is driving to Seattle. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of her driving time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95. See the figure below. Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving. How many miles will be remaining after 47 minutes of driving?
Answer: The general equation of a line is given as y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis. Given that the slope is -0.95, substituting in the general equation :
y = -0.95x + c
Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving, to find c, we substitute y = 48 and x = 31. Therefore:
48 = -0.95(31) + c
c = 48 + 0.95(31)
c = 48 + 29.45
c = 77.45
The equation of the line is
y = -0.95x + 77.45
After 47 minutes of driving, the miles remaining can be gotten by substituting x = 47 and finding y.
y = -0.95(47) + 77.45
y = -44.65 + 77.45
y = 32.8 miles
