use the rules of exponents to evaluate or simplify.write without negative exponents. 1/4^-2=?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4² = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

  1/a^-b = a^b

So, ...

 [tex]\dfrac{1}{4^{-2}}=\boxed{4^2 = 16}[/tex]

_____

Additional comment

If you were to evaluate this using the Order of Operations, you would evaluate the exponent first:

  1/4^-2 = 1/(1/16)

Then, you would do the division.

 1/(1/16) = 16

__

We sometimes find it convenient to manipulate exponential terms to the form with the smallest positive exponents before we begin the evaluation.

A pizza company runs a marketing campaign based on their delivery time for pizzas. They claim that they will deliver a pizza within 30 minutes of ordering or it is free. In practice the time it takes to prepare a pizza and it being delivered is normally distributed with mean 25 minutes and standard deviation 3 minutes. What is the probability a pizza is delivered for free?On a particular Sunday, 40 pizzas were ordered. What is the probability that more than 2 were delivered for free?If the company wants to reduce the proportion of pizzas that are delivered free to 1%, what should the delivery time be advertised as?

Answers

Answer:

0.0475 = 4.75% probability a pizza is delivered for free.

0.2955 = 29.55% probability that more than 2 were delivered for free.

The delivery time should be advertised as 32 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the binomial distribution and the normal distribution.

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.

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.

Normally distributed with mean 25 minutes and standard deviation 3 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 25, \sigma = 3[/tex]

What is the probability a pizza is delivered for free?

More than 30 minutes, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 30.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{30 - 25}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.67[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.67[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

0.0475 = 4.75% probability a pizza is delivered for free

What is the probability that more than 2 were delivered for free?

Multiple pizzas, so the binomial probability distribution is used.

0.0475 probability a pizza is delivered for free, which means that [tex]p = 0.0475[/tex]

40 pizzas, which means that [tex]n = 40[/tex]

This probability is:

[tex]P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{40,0}.(0.0475)^{0}.(0.9525)^{40} = 0.1428[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{40,1}.(0.0475)^{1}.(0.9525)^{39} = 0.2848[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{40,2}.(0.0475)^{2}.(0.9525)^{38} = 0.2769[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.1428 + 0.2848 + 0.2769 = 0.7045[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.7045 = 0.2955[/tex]

0.2955 = 29.55% probability that more than 2 were delivered for free.

If the company wants to reduce the proportion of pizzas that are delivered free to 1%, what should the delivery time be advertised as?

The 99th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.99, so X when Z = 2.327.

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

[tex]2.327 = \frac{X - 25}{3}[/tex]

[tex]X - 25 = 2.327*3[/tex]

[tex]X = 32[/tex]

The delivery time should be advertised as 32 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the National Beer Wholesalers Association, U.S. consumers 21 years and older consumed 26.9 gallons of beer and cider per person during 2017. A distributor in Milwaukee believes that beer and cider consumption are higher in that city. A sample of consumers 21 years and older in Milwaukee will be taken, and the sample mean 2017 beer and cider consumption will be used to test the following null and alternative hypotheses:
H, :μ< 26.9
Ha : μ> 26.9
a. Assume the sample data led to rejection of the null hypothesis. What would be your conclusion about consumption of beer and cider in Milwaukee?b. What is the Type I error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error?c. What is the Type II error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error?

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If the null is rejected, then we conclude that the average Consumption of beer and cider by customers who are 21 years and above is greater than 26.1

A type 1 error is committed if the null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected ; this means we will be concluding that customers who are 21 years and older have higher average Consumption when they actually do not. This may lead to a restriction on beer consumption in the city when there actually isn't a need for it.

For type 2 error, a false null is incorrectly accepted, in this scenario, we are saying that the consumption of beer and cider is not beyond the mean value when in actual sense it is.

if for a dog 1 year is 7 ears for them, how many hours in 24 hours is one day for dogs?

Answers

Answer:

168hrs in division terms of every 1 year x 7 etc...

It will always be 24hrs nothing changes set of units to same units.

However because the equivalent to a same length of life as human is 1/7 we can do the reciprocal = 7 and do 24 x 7 = 168 hrs, but as many younger and healthy dogs eat and sleep the same as humans then equivalent would be not a good way to compare a dogs life.

Longer life breeds like Labrador or mixed breed dogs if walked at least 4 times a day and away from other dogs and all day young kids can live older than 20 and have actually be more compared to 4-5 years and so the comparison would be like 96 hrs or 120 hrs, but hours stay 24 a day for all animals as units don't change same units. Day represents a day and a year represents sun rise to sun fall to sun rise again x 365.

Assume that a population is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Would it be unusual for the mean of a sample of 3 to be 115 or more? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

|Z| < 2, which means that it would not be unusual for the mean of a sample of 3 to be 115 or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

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.

If [tex]|Z| > 2[/tex], the value of X is considered to be unusual.

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.

Assume that a population is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

This means that [tex]\mu = 100, \sigma = 15[/tex]

Sample of 3

This means that [tex]n = 3, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Would it be unusual for the mean of a sample of 3 to be 115 or more? Why or why not?

We have to find the z-score.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{115 - 100}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{3}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.73[/tex]

|Z| < 2, which means that it would not be unusual for the mean of a sample of 3 to be 115 or more.

When we expand (2x + 1/2)^6, what is the coefficient on the x^4 term?

Answers

Answer: The coefficient before x^4 is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! So I am not an expert at this, but you have to use the binomial theorem

I have attached of the Pascals Triangle (one shows the row numbering as well)

Basically in a pascal triangle, you add the two numbers above it to get the next number below

As you can see, the rows start from 0 instead of 1

The 6th row contains the numbers 1, 6, 15, 20, 15, 6, 1 which would be the coefficient terms

NOTE: the exponents always add to 6, the first term starts at 6 and decrease it's exponent by 1 each time (6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0) and the second term increases it's exponent by 1 each time (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Using this information the third term from the sixth row (15) would be where it is x^4 (I have circled it on the second image)

It would be 15 × 2^4 × (1/2)^2 = 60

The reason why it is 2^4 and (1/2)^2 is because the third term has the exponents 4 and 2 (bolded on the NOTE) which means that the first term must be put to the power of 4 and the second term must be put to the 2nd power

Sorry for the lousy explanation. I really hope this makes sense! Let me know if this helped :)
