The school newspaper surveyed 100 commuter students and asked three questions. First, students were asked how many courses they were currently enrolled in. Second, the commuter students were asked to estimate how long it took them to drive to campus. And third, they were asked their heights. Identify the type of random variable being measured by each.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of courses they were currently enrolled in is a discrete random variable.

The time it took them to drive to campus is a continuous random variable.

Their heights is a continuous random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Random variables:

Random variables can be classified as continuous or discrete.

Discrete variables are countable numbers(0,1,2,...), while continuous variables can assume decimal values.

First, students were asked how many courses they were currently enrolled in.

Can be 0,1,2,... that is, has to be a countable number, so the number of courses they were currently enrolled in is a discrete random variable.

Second, the commuter students were asked to estimate how long it took them to drive to campus.

Can be for example, 10.5 minutes, half an hour, that is, can be represented by decimal values, and thus the time it took them to drive to campus is a continuous random variable.

And third, they were asked their heights.

Can also be decimal numbers, so continuous.

Express the function H in the form f ∘ g. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Use non-identity functions forf(x) and g(x).)H(x) = |1 − x3|

Answers

Answer:

We know that:

H(x) = |1 - x^3|

and:

We want to write H(x) as  f( g(x) ) , such that for two functions:

So we want to find two functions f(x) and g(x) such that:

f( g(x) ) = |1 - x^3|

Where neither of these functions can be an identity function.

Let's define g(x) as:

g(x) = x^3 + 2

And f(x) as:

f(x) = | A - x|

Where A can be a real number, we need to find the value of A.

Then:

f(g(x)) = |A - g(x)|

and remember that g(x) = x^3 + 2

then:

f(g(x)) = |A - g(x)| = |A - x^3 - 2|

And this must be equal to:

|A - x^3 - 2| =  |1 - x^3|

Then:

A = 3

The functions are then:

f(x) = | 3 - x|

g(x) = x^3 + 2

And H(x) =  f( g(x) )

Find the volume of the prism.

Answers

Answer:

  420 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is given by the formula ...

  V = Bh

where B is the area of the triangular base, and h is the height.

The triangular base area is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(10.5 mm)(10 mm) = 52.5 mm²

Then the volume of the prism is ...

  V = (52.5 mm²)(8 mm) = 420 mm³

Sadie and Connor both play soccer. Connor scored 2 times as many goals as Sadie. Together they scored 9 goals. Could Sadie have scored 4 goals? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

no

the goal total would be too high

Step-by-step explanation: If Sadie had scored 4 goals, Connor would have scored 2 times 4 = 8 goals. Their goal total would then be 4+8 = 12, not 9. Sadie cannot have scored 4 goals.

__

If we let s represent the number of goals Sadie scored, then 2s is the number Connor scored. Their total is ...

 s + 2s = 9

 3s = 9 . . . . . . collect terms

 s = 9/3 = 3 . . . divide by the coefficient of s

Sadie scored 3 goals. (s=4 is not the solution to the problem)

Four times the sum of 5 and some number is 4. What is the number

Answers

Answer:

n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the sum of 5 and some number translates to 5 + x.

2. 5 + x is getting multiplied by 4, so the equation will then become 4(5 + n).

3. This entire equation is equal to 4, which we can see where the problem says "is four". In other words, four times the sum of 5 + n is equal to 4. 4(5 + n) = 4

4. Now you can solve the equation. When solved, the answer is n = -4

Answers

Answer:

Equation: 4x + 30 + 2x + 6 = 180

Answer: x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of supplementary angles is 180 deg.

Equation:

4x + 30 + 2x + 6 = 180

Solution:

4x + 30 + 2x + 6 = 180

Add like terms on the left side.

6x + 36 = 180

Subtract 36 from both sides.

6x = 144

x = 24

Answer:

X=24

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles = 180°

4x+30+2x+6=180

Combine like terms> 4x+2x=6x

Add: 30+6=36

6x+36=180.

Subtract 36 on both sides. > 36-36=0. 180-36=144.

Drop what you have left> 6x   144

Divide by 6. > 6/6= 1. 144/6=24.

A manufacturer claims that the mean lifetime,u , of its light bulbs is 51 months. The standard deviation of these lifetimes is 7 months. Sixty bulbs are selected at random, and their mean lifetime is found to be 53 months.

Can we conclude that the mean lifetime of the bulbs made by this manufacture differ from 51 months?

Answers

Answer:

We reject  H₀, and conclude thet the mean lifetime of the bulbs differ from 51 month

Step-by-step explanation:

Manufacturing process under control must produce items that follow a normal distribution.

Manufacturer information:

μ  =  51 months     mean lifetime

σ  =  7 months       standard deviation

Sample Information:

x  =  51 months

n  =  60

Confidence Interval  =  90 %

Then significance level  α  =  10 %  α  =  0.1    α/2  =  0,05

Since it is a manufacturing process the distribution is a normal distribution, and with   n = 60 we should use a Z test on two tails.

Then from z- table z(c) for  α = 0,05  is  z(c)  = 1.64

Hypothesis  Test:

Null Hypothesis                              H₀            x  =  μ

Alternative Hypothesis                  Hₐ            x ≠  μ

To calculate z statistics  z(s)

z(s)  =   (  x   -  μ )  / σ /√n

z(s)  =   (  53  -  51 ) / 7 /√60

z(s)  =  2 * 7.746 / 7

z(s)  = 2.213

Comparing  z(s)  and  z(c)

z(s)  >  z(c)   then  z(s)  is in the rejection region

We reject  H₀, and conclude thet the mean lifetime of the bulbs differ from 51 month

A union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate the mean hourly wage, , of foodservice workers in the U.S. The union will choose a random sample of wages and then estimate using the mean of the sample. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for the union to be confident that its estimate is within of

Answers

Answer:  the minimum sample size needed = 145

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for sample size:

[tex]Sample \ size =(\dfrac{z^*\times standard\ deviation}{margin \ of \ error})^2[/tex]

, where z* = Critical z-value

Given: Standard deviation = 2.15

Margin of error = 0.35

Z* for 95% confidence = 1.96

Sample size = [tex](\frac{1.96\times2.15}{0.35})^2[/tex]

[tex]=(12.04)^2\\\\=144.9616\approx145[/tex]

Hence, the minimum sample size needed = 145

In the year 2000, the average car had a fuel economy of 22.6 MPG. You are curious as to whether the average in the present day is less than the historical value. What are the appropriate hypotheses for this test

Answers

Answer:

The appropriate null hypothesis is [tex]H_0: \mu = 22.6[/tex]

The appropriate alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1: \mu < 22.6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The average car had a fuel economy of 22.6 MPG. Test if the current average is less than this.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the current average is still of 22.6 MPG, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 22.6[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the current mean has decreased, that is, if it is less than 22.6 MPG. So

[tex]H_1: \mu < 22.6[/tex]
