To determine the organic material in a dried lake bed, the percent carbon by mass is measured at two different locations. To compare the means of the two different locations, it must first be determined whether the standard deviations of the two locations are different. For each location, calculate the standard deviation and report it with two significant figures.
Answers
Answer:
[tex]\sigma_1 = 0.08[/tex] --- Location 1
[tex]\sigma_2 = 0.34[/tex] --- Location 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for the given data
Required
The standard deviation of each location
For location 1
First, calculate the mean
[tex]\bar x_1 =\frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\bar x_1 =\frac{30.40+30.20+30.30+30.40+30.30}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_1 =\frac{151.60}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_1 =30.32[/tex]
The standard deviation is calculated as:
[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x_1)^2}{n-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{(30.40 - 30.32)^2+(30.20 - 30.32)^2+(30.30 - 30.32)^2+(30.40 - 30.32)^2+(30.30 - 30.32)^2}{5-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.028}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{0.007}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = 0.08[/tex]
For location 2
First, calculate the mean
[tex]\bar x_2 =\frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\bar x_2 =\frac{30.10+30.90+30.20+30.70+30.30}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 =\frac{152.2}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 =30.44[/tex]
The standard deviation is calculated as:
[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x_2)^2}{n-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(30.10-30.44)^2+(30.90-30.44)^2+(30.20-30.44)^2+(30.70-30.44)^2+(30.30-30.44)^2}{5-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.472}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{0.118}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = 0.34[/tex]

SCALCET8 3.9.015. A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/s along a straight path. How fast is the tip of his shadow moving when he is 35 ft from the pole
Answers
Answer:
[tex]X=6.67ft/s[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Height of pole [tex]H_p=15[/tex]
Height of man [tex]h_m=6ft[/tex]
Speed of Man [tex]\triangle a =4ft/s[/tex]
Distance from pole [tex]d=35ft[/tex]
Let
Distance from pole to man=a
Distance from man to shadow =b
Therefore
[tex]\frac{a+b}{15}=\frac{b}{6}[/tex]
[tex]6a+6b=15y[/tex]
[tex]2a=3b[/tex]
Generally the equation for change in velocity is mathematically given by
[tex]2(\triangle a)=3(\triangle b )[/tex]
[tex]2*4=3(\triangle b)[/tex]
[tex]\triangle a=\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
Since
The speed of the shadow is given as
[tex]X=\triangle b+\triangle a[/tex]
[tex]X=4+8/3[/tex]
[tex]X=6.67ft/s[/tex]
The solution of this equation has an error. Which of the following steps has the error? 18 − (3x + 5) = 8
Step 1: 18 − 3x + 5 = 8
Step 2: -3x + 23 = 8
Step 3: -3x = -15
Step 4: x = 5
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4. ?
Answers
Answer:
Step 1
Because the number in front of the bracket is 1 and it is also affected by the negative sign(-),5 is supposed to be negative not positive because (negative by positive is negative)
And since the first step has an error in it,the remaining steps would also be wrong.

In order to win a prize, Heather randomly draws two balls from a basket of 40. There are 25 blue balls, and the rest are green balls. Of the blue balls, 12% are winning balls. Of the green balls, 20% are winning balls. Calculate the expected number of winning balls that Heather draws.
Answers
Answer:
The expected number of winning balls that Heather draws is 0.3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The balls are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
In which:
x is the number of successes.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
Expected value of the hypergeometric distribution:
The expected value is given by:
[tex]E(X) = \frac{nk}{N}[/tex]
Expected number of blue and green balls:
40 balls, which means that [tex]N = 40[/tex]
2 are chosen, which means that [tex]n = 2[/tex]
25 are blue, which means that [tex]k = 25[/tex]
So
[tex]E(X) = \frac{nk}{N} = \frac{25(2)}{40} = 1.25[/tex]
1.25 balls are expected to be blue and 2 - 1.25 = 0.75 green.
Of the blue balls, 12% are winning.
Of the green balls, 20% are winning.
Calculate the expected number of winning balls that Heather draws.
[tex]E_w = 1.25*0.12 + 0.75*0.2 = 0.3[/tex]
The expected number of winning balls that Heather draws is 0.3.

You don't really need to do it, but it helps you keep things more organized and easier to follow. Imagine if you're doing some multi-variable equation,
2a + 5b + 4d + 3c + b + a + 2d
that looks like a mess, it'll be easier to look at if you put all the similar variables next to each others like this:
a + 2a + b + 5b + 3c + 2d + 4d
(a + 2a) + (b + 5b) + 3c + (2d + 4d)
now you can add them up much easier.
John runs a computer software store. Yesterday he counted 125 people who walked by the store, 58 of whom came into the store. Of the 58, only 21 bought something in the store. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
Answers
Answer:
a) 0.46 = 46% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
b) 0.36 = 36% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
c) 0.17 = 17% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
d) 0.64 = 64% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
58 out of 125. So
[tex]p = \frac{58}{125} = 0.46[/tex]
0.46 = 46% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
58 walked, 21 bought. So
[tex]p = \frac{21}{58} = 0.36[/tex]
0.36 = 36% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
21 came in and bought out of 125 that walked by. So
[tex]p = \frac{21}{125} = 0.17[/tex]
0.17 = 17% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
0.36 probability that a person buys something, so 1 - 0.36 = 0.64 = 64% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

solve the inequality 4t^2 ≤ 9t-2 please show steps and interval notation. thank you!
Answers
Answer:
[0.25, 2]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have
4t² ≤ 9t-2
subtract 9t-2 from both sides to make this a quadratic
4t²-9t+2 ≤ 0
To solve this, we can solve for 4t²-9t+2=0 and do some guess and check to find which values result in the function being less than 0.
4t²-9t+2=0
We can see that -8 and -1 add up to -9, the coefficient of t, and 4 (the coefficient of t²) and 2 multiply to 8, which is also equal to -8 * -1. Therefore, we can write this as
4t²-8t-t+2=0
4t(t-2)-1(t-2)=0
(4t-1)(t-2)=0
Our zeros are thus t=2 and t = 1/4. Using these zeros, we can set up three zones: t < 1/4, 1/4<t<2, and t>2. We can take one random value from each of these zones and see if it fits the criteria of
4t²-9t+2 ≤ 0
For t<1/4, we can plug in 0. 4(0)²-9(0) + 2 = 2 >0 , so this is not correct
For 1/4<t<2, we can plug 1 in. 4(1)²-9(1) +2 = -3 <0, so this is correct
For t > 2, we can plug 5 in. 4(5)²-9(5) + 2 = 57 > 0, so this is not correct.
Therefore, for 4t^2 ≤ 9t-2 , which can also be written as 4t²-9t+2 ≤ 0, when t is between 1/4 and 2, the inequality is correct. Furthermore, as the sides are equal when t= 1/4 and t=2, this can be written as [0.25, 2]
There is a bag filled with 3 blue and 5 red marbles.
A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is not replaced.
Another marble is taken at random.
What is the probability of getting 2 of the same colour?
JUST NEED THE ANSWER IN A FRACTION PLEASE
Answers
[tex]\frac{13}{28}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:Given:
Blue marbles: 3
Reb marbles: 5
Total marbles: 8
Two marbles are selected at random, one after the other with replacement.
Getting the same colour of marbles from the selection means the two marbles are both red or both blue.
(a) Probability of getting 2 marbles being red in colour
i. Probability of picking a red at the first selection:
Number of red marbles ÷ Total number of marbles
=> 5 ÷ 8 = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
ii. Probability of picking a red at the second selection:
Number of remaining red marbles ÷ Total number of remaining marbles
Since after the first pick, the marble is not replaced, the remaining red marbles is 4 while the total number of remaining marbles is 7
=> 4 ÷ 7 = [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
iii. The probability of getting both marbles being red is the product of i and ii above. i.e
[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{14}[/tex]
(b) Probability of getting 2 marbles being blue in colour
i. Probability of picking a blue at the first selection:
Number of blue marbles ÷ Total number of marbles
=> 3 ÷ 8 = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
ii. Probability of picking a blue at the second selection:
Number of remaining blue marbles ÷ Total number of remaining marbles
Since after the first pick, the marble is not replaced, the remaining blue marbles is 2 while the total number of remaining marbles is 7
=> 2 ÷ 7 = [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
iii. The probability of getting both marbles being blue is the product of i and ii above. i.e
[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{28}[/tex]
(c) Probability of getting 2 marbles of the same colour.
The probability of getting 2 marbles of same colour is the sum of the probability of getting both marbles of red colour and the probability of getting both marbles as blue colour. i.e The sum of a(iii) and b(iii)
[tex]\frac{5}{14}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{3}{28}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13}{28}[/tex]
The probability of getting 2 of the same colour is [tex]\frac{13}{28}[/tex]
