Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 4 sample points

(b) See attachment for tree diagram

(c) The probability that no tail is appeared is 1/4

(d) The probability that exactly 1 tail is appeared is 1/2

(e) The probability that 2 tails are appeared is 1/4

(f) The probability that at least 1 tail appeared is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Coins = 2[/tex]

Solving (a): Counting principle to determine the number of sample points

We have:

[tex]Coin\ 1 = \{H,T\}[/tex]

[tex]Coin\ 2 = \{H,T\}[/tex]

To determine the sample space using counting principle, we simply pick one outcome in each coin. So, the sample space (S) is:

[tex]S = \{HH,HT,TH,TT\}[/tex]

The number of sample points is:

[tex]n(S) = 4[/tex]

Solving (b): The tree diagram

See attachment for tree diagram

From the tree diagram, the sample space is:

[tex]S = \{HH,HT,TH,TT\}[/tex]

Solving (c): Probability that no tail is appeared

This implies that:

[tex]P(T = 0)[/tex]

From the sample points, we have:

[tex]n(T = 0) = 1[/tex] --- i.e. 1 occurrence where no tail is appeared

So, the probability is:

[tex]P(T = 0) = \frac{n(T = 0)}{n(S)}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(T = 0) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Solving (d): Probability that exactly 1 tail is appeared

This implies that:

[tex]P(T = 1)[/tex]

From the sample points, we have:

[tex]n(T = 1) = 2[/tex] --- i.e. 2 occurrences where exactly 1 tail appeared

So, the probability is:

[tex]P(T = 1) = \frac{n(T = 1)}{n(S)}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(T = 1) = \frac{2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(T = 1) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Solving (e): Probability that 2 tails appeared

This implies that:

[tex]P(T = 2)[/tex]

From the sample points, we have:

[tex]n(T = 2) = 1[/tex] --- i.e. 1 occurrences where 2 tails appeared

So, the probability is:

[tex]P(T = 2) = \frac{n(T = 2)}{n(S)}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(T = 2) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Solving (f): Probability that at least 1 tail appeared

This implies that:

[tex]P(T \ge 1)[/tex]

In (c), we have:

[tex]P(T = 0) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Using the complement rule, we have:

[tex]P(T \ge 1) + P(T = 0) = 1[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]P(T \ge 1) = 1-P(T = 0)[/tex]

Substitute known value

[tex]P(T \ge 1) = 1-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P(T \ge 1) = \frac{4-1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(T \ge 1) = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Answer:

[-4, -1)[-1, 1)[1, 5]

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers that describe the domain of the piece are the x-value at the left end and the x-value at the right end of each piece.

Piece 1 is defined between x=-4 and x=-1, so the interval is [-4, -1).

Piece 2 is defined between x=-1 and x=1, so the interval is [-1, 1).

Piece 3 is defined between x=1 and x=5, so the interval is [1, 5].

_____

Additional comment

The rounded bracket at the right end of the domain interval means the point is not included. The square bracket means the point is included. In general, you only want each x-value to have one corresponding f(x) definition, so it is usually not appropriate to include it as part of two different pieces of the piecewise function. [-4, -1) means -4 ≤ x < -1.

By reporting only p-values, many scientific publications provide an incomplete story of their findings.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value is a measurement of the likelihood that a difference observed is due to a random chance or a sampling error. In an alternative way, the p-value of a study represents the probability or area under distribution for obtaining more radical outcomes whenever the null hypothesis is true.

Any observable change is deemed to be addressed by sampling variability if the P-value is greater than the selected alpha level. A statistical test will nearly always show a substantial difference with a suitably big sample unless there is no impact at all when the effect size is exactly zero.

As a result, simply reporting the P-value alone for a study is insufficient to fully validate the results and findings of scientific publications.

The sum of the 3rd and 7th terms of an A.P. is 38, and the 9th term is 37. Find the A.P?​

Answers

Let a be the first term in the arithmetic progression. Then each successive term differs from a by a fixed number c, so that

• first term = a

• second term = a + c

• third term = (a + c) + c = a + 2c

• fourth term = (a + 2c) + c = a + 3c

and so on. In general, the n-th term in the AP is a + (n - 1) c.

The sum of the 3rd and 7th terms is 38, so that

(a + 2c) + (a + 6c) = 38

==>   2a + 8c = 38

==>   a + 4c = 19 … … … [1]

The 9th term is 37, so

a + 8c = 37 … … … [2]

Subtracting [1] from [2] eliminates a and lets you solve for c :

(a + 8c) - (a + 4c) = 37 - 19

4c = 18

c = 18/4 = 9/2

Solve for a using either equations [1] or [2] :

a + 8 (9/2) = 37

a + 36 = 37

a = 1

Then the n-th term in the AP is 1 + 9/2 (n - 1) or 9/2 n - 7/2, where n ≥ 1.

b.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.
c.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.
d.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.
e.) Is it unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg? Why or why not?
f.) What blood pressure do 90% of all people in China have less than?

Answers

Answer:

a) Mean blood pressure for people in China, which has mean 128 and standard deviation 23.

b) 0.3821 = 38.21% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

c) 0.714 = 71.4% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

d) 0.0851 = 8.51% probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

e) Since |Z| = 0.3 < 2, it is not unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg.

f) 90% of all people in China have a blood pressure of less than 157.44 mmHg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean blood pressure for people in China is 128 mmHg with a standard deviation of 23 mmHg

This means that [tex]\mu = 128, \sigma = 23[/tex]

a.) State the random variable.

Mean blood pressure for people in China, which has mean 128 and standard deviation 23.

b.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 135, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{135 - 128}{23}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.6179.

1 - 0.6179 = 0.3821

0.3821 = 38.21% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

c.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 141, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{141 - 128}{23}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.565[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.565[/tex] has a p-value of 0.7140.

0.714 = 71.4% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

d.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 125 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 120, so:

X = 125

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{125 - 128}{23}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.13[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.13[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4483.

X = 120

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{120 - 128}{23}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.35[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.35[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3632.

0.4483 - 0.3632 = 0.0851

0.0851 = 8.51% probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

e.) Is it unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg? Why or why not?

From item b, when X = 135, Z = 0.3.

Since |Z| = 0.3 < 2, it is not unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg.

f.) What blood pressure do 90% of all people in China have less than?

The 90th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 128}{23}[/tex]

[tex]X - 128 = 1.28*23[/tex]

[tex]X = 157.44[/tex]

90% of all people in China have a blood pressure of less than 157.44 mmHg.

A survey sampled men and women workers and asked if they expected to get a raise or promotion this year. Suppose the survey sampled 200 men and 200 women. If 98 of the men replied Yes and 72 of the women replied Yes, are the results statistically significant so that you can conclude a greater proportion of men expect to get a raise or a promotion this year?

a. State the hypothesis test in terms of the population proportion of men and the population proportion of women.
b. What is the sample proportion for men? For women?
c. Use α= 0.01 level of significance. What is the p-value and what is your conclusion?

Answers

Answer:

a)

The null hypothesis is: [tex]H_0: p_M - p_W = 0[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is: [tex]H_1: p_M - p_W > 0[/tex]

b) For men is of 0.49 and for women is of 0.36.

c) The p-value of the test is 0.0039 < 0.01, which means that the results are statistically significant so that you can conclude a greater proportion of men expect to get a raise or a promotion this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving this question, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Men:

98 out of 200, so:

[tex]p_M = \frac{98}{200} = 0.49[/tex]

[tex]s_M = \sqrt{\frac{0.49*0.51}{200}} = 0.0353[/tex]

Women:

72 out of 200, so:

[tex]p_W = \frac{72}{200} = 0.36[/tex]

[tex]s_W = \sqrt{\frac{0.36*0.64}{200}} = 0.0339[/tex]

a. State the hypothesis test in terms of the population proportion of men and the population proportion of women.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion are similar, that is, if the subtraction of the proportions is 0, so:

[tex]H_0: p_M - p_W = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion of men is greater, that is, the subtraction is greater than 0, so:

[tex]H_1: p_M - p_W > 0[/tex]

b. What is the sample proportion for men? For women?

For men is of 0.49 and for women is of 0.36.

c. Use α= 0.01 level of significance. What is the p-value and what is your conclusion?

From the sample, we have that:

[tex]X = p_M - p_W = 0.49 - 0.36 = 0.13[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_M^2+s_W^2} = \sqrt{0.0353^2 + 0.0339^2} = 0.0489[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error, so:

[tex]z = \frac{0.13 - 0}{0.0489}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2.66[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a difference above 0.13, which is the p-value of z = 2.66.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2.66 has a p-value of 0.9961.

1 - 0.9961 = 0.0039.

The p-value of the test is 0.0039 < 0.01, which means that the results are statistically significant so that you can conclude a greater proportion of men expect to get a raise or a promotion this year.

A survey is created to measure dietary habits. The survey asks questions about each meal and snack consumed for each day of the week. The survey seems like a good representation of measuring dietary habits. This survey would be considered to have high ______ validity.

Answers

Answer:

Face validity

Step-by-step explanation:

In quantitative research in mathematics, we have four major types of validity namely;

- Content Validity

- Construct validity

- Criterion validity

- Face validity.

Now;

> Construct validity seeks to find out if the tool used in measurement is a true representation of what is really going to be measured.

> Content Validity seeks to find out whether a test covers every part of a particular subject being tested.

> Face validity seeks to find out how true a test is by looking at it on the surface.

> Criterion validity seeks to find out the relationship of a particular test to that of another test.

Now, in this question, we are told that The survey seems like a good representation of measuring dietary habits after just asking questions about each meal and snack they consumed for the week. Thus, it is a face validity because it just appears true on the surface to be a good representation but we don't know if it is effective until we go deep like content validity

the angle between two lines is 60 degree. if the slope of one of them is 1. find the slope of other line​

Answers

Answer:

-3.73

Step-by-step explanation:

solution:

Given:

Angle between two lines=60⁰

slope of first line=1

Or, tanA=1

Or, A= tan inverse (1)

so, A=45⁰

so, angle of inclination of first line=45⁰

Now,

angle of inclination of second line= A+ 60⁰

= 45⁰+60⁰

=105⁰

so, slope of second line = tan105.

= -3.73

A certain manufacturing process yields electrical fuses of which, in the long run
15% are defective. Find the probability that in a random sample of size n=10, fuses
selected from this process, there will be
(i) No defective fuse
(ii) At least one defective fuse
(iii) Exactly two defective fuses
(iv) At most one defective fuse

Answers

Answer:

i) 0.1969 = 19.69% probability that there will be no defective fuse.

ii) 0.8031 = 80.31% probability that there will be at least one defective fuse.

iii) 0.2759 = 27.59% probability that there will be exactly two defective fuses.

iv) 0.5443 = 54.43% probability that there will be at most one defective fuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each fuse, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a fuse being defective is independent of any other fuse, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [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]

And p is the probability of X happening.

15% are defective.

This means that [tex]p = 0.15[/tex]

We also have:

[tex]n = 10[/tex]

(i) No defective fuse

This is [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.15)^{0}.(0.85)^{10} = 0.1969[/tex]

0.1969 = 19.69% probability that there will be no defective fuse.

(ii) At least one defective fuse

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

We already have P(X = 0) = 0.1969, so:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.1969 = 0.8031[/tex]

0.8031 = 80.31% probability that there will be at least one defective fuse.

(iii) Exactly two defective fuses

This is P(X = 2). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.15)^{2}.(0.85)^{8} = 0.2759[/tex]

0.2759 = 27.59% probability that there will be exactly two defective fuses.

(iv) At most one defective fuse

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.15)^{0}.(0.85)^{10} = 0.1969[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.15)^{1}.(0.85)^{9} = 0.3474[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1969 + 0.3474 = 0.5443[/tex]

0.5443 = 54.43% probability that there will be at most one defective fuse.
