What is a statistical error?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Statistical error is the difference between the estimated or approximated value and the true value.  

Two Possible Types of Statistical Error

Type I Errors occur when we reject a null hypothesis that is actually true; the probability of this occurring is denoted by alpha (a).

Type II Errors are when we accept a null hypothesis that is actually false; its probability is called beta (b).

Example

You test whether a new drug intervention can alleviate symptoms of an autoimmune disease.

A Type I error happens when you get false positive results: you conclude that the drug intervention improved symptoms when it actually didn’t. These improvements could have arisen from other random factors or measurement errors.

A Type II error happens when you get false negative results: you conclude that the drug intervention didn’t improve symptoms when it actually did. Your study may have missed key indicators of improvements or attributed any improvements to other factors instead.

The maximum load that a cylindrical column with a circular cross section can hold varies directly as the fourth power of the diameter and inversely as the square of the height. A 9 meter column 2 meters in a diameter will support 64 metric tons. How many metric tons can be supported by a column 13 meters high and 5 meters in diameter? Round to the nearest whole metric ton

Answers

Answer:

2396

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the diameter = d

Let the height = h

Formula

Metric Tons = k * d^4 / h^2

Solution

Metric Tons = 64

d = 2

h = 9

k = ?

(You can't do the second part by not using a ratio unless you  put k in and solve for it)

64 = 2^4 k / 9^2

64 = 8 *k / 81

64 * 81 / 8 = k

5184 / 8 = k

k = 648

Solve for the second example

Metric Tons = d^4 * k / h^2

Metric Tons = ?

d = 5

h = 13

k = 648

Metric Tons = 5^4 * 648 / 13^2

Metric Tons = 625 * 648 / 169

Metric Tons = 2396 rounded.

Dave wants to build a rectangular screened-in porch that is 20 feet long, and it will extend 6 feet out from the backside of his house.


Dave sketches a scale drawing of the porch. Choose a reasonable size and scale for Dave’s drawing of the porch. How should Dave label the dimensions of the model?

Answers

Answer:

Scale of the drawing would be 20/12 inch and 0.6 (6/12) inch

Step-by-step explanation:

For most of the residential buildings an scale of 1 inch = 12 feet can be used to draw the residential units.

In that case the scale of the drawing would be 20/12 inch and 0.6 (6/12) inch

Dave should label the dimensions in inches

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: SOH CAH TOA

Reference angle = y°

Adjacent side = 18 in.

Hypotenuse = 20 in.

We would apply the trigonometric function CAH since we are dealing with the Adjacent side (A) and the Hypotenuse (H). Thus:

Cos y° = Adj/Hyp

Cos y° = 18/20

Cos y° = 0.9

y° = cos^{-1}(0.9)

y = 25.8419328° ≈ 26 degrees (nearest whole degree)

The answers are:

Answers

An angle of depression is measured from the horizon downwards and an angle of elevation is measured from the horizon upwards.

When solving for the sides or angles of a right triangle you can use trigonometry. The sine of an angle is found by the ratio of the opposite side and the hypotenuse. The cosine of an angle is found by the ratio of the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. The tangent of an angle is found by the ratio of the opposite side and the adjacent side.

The opposite side is always the leg opposite the angle that you are using. The adjacent side is the leg that forms one of the sides of the angle you are talking about and the hypotenuse is always across from the right angle.

If you know two lengths you can find the third leg length by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

What’s the distance ?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem asks one to find the length of the given line. Another way to think about this problem is to believe that the problem asks one to find the distance from one point to another. The endpoints on this line are the following,

[tex](4,2), (5, 5)[/tex]

The formula to find the distance between two points on a 2-dimensional coordinate plane is as follows,

[tex]D=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2*(y_1-y_2)^2}[/tex]

Substitute the endpoints of the line into the formula and solve for the distance between the points,

[tex]D=\sqrt{(4-5)^2*(2-5)^2}[/tex]

Simplify, solve for the distance between the two points,

[tex]D=\sqrt{(4-5)^2*(2-5)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{(-1)^2*(-3)^2}\\\\D=\sqrt{1*9}\\\\D=\sqrt{9}\\\\D=3[/tex]

219.9

Answers

Answer:

1539.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps:

Volume of a cylinder= πr²h

radius= diameter/2

         = 14/2

         = 7 cm

Volume= π x 7² x 10

            = 1539.38

            = 1539.4 cm³

Answer:

1539.4

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the area of a cylinder, you solve pi x radius²

3.14 x 7² = 153.94

then you multiply times the height

153.94 x 10 = 1549.4
