Determine which of the four levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) is most appropriate. Years in which U.S. presidents were inaugurated
Answer:
Interval Level of Measurement
Step-by-step explanation:
The Interval level of measurement highlights the distances between two measurements. These distances are meaningful and could be rated as low intervals or high intervals. Intervals also indicate class and order between measurements. The inauguration of the United States President is an event that occurs 72 to 78 days after the presidential election. It is usually done as a private and public oath-taking ceremony on January 20, four years after the last presidential election. So, even if the president is on a second term, this event must be held.
The last U.S presidential election occurred on January 20, 2017, and the next one will be held on January 21, 2021. So there is an interval of four years between the last and next U.S presidential inauguration ceremony.

The solution is Option C.
The value of x is given from the equation x = 4
What is perpendicular bisector?A perpendicular bisector is defined as a line or a line segment that divides a given line segment into two parts of equal measurement. Lines that cross each side's midpoint and are perpendicular to the specified side are known as a triangle's perpendicular bisectors.
The perpendicular bisector theorem states that any point on the perpendicular bisector is equidistant from both the endpoints of the line segment on which it is drawn
Given data ,
Let the first line be represented as CD
Let the second line be represented as XY
Now , CD is the perpendicular bisector of XY
So , the point F is the midpoint of the line segment XY
The measure of line segment XF = 12x - 9
The measure of line segment FY = 8x + 7
From the perpendicular bisector theorem ,
The measure of line segment XF = The measure of line segment FY
Substituting the values in the equation , we get
12x - 9 = 8x + 7
Subtracting 8x on both sides of the equation , we get
4x - 9 = 7
Adding 9 on both sides of the equation , we get
4x = 16
Divide by 4 on both sides of the equation , we get
x = 4
Therefore , the value of x = 4
Hence , the value of the equation is x = 4

Suppose 50 percent of the customers at Pizza Palooza order a square pizza, 70 percent order a soft drink, and 35 percent order both a square pizza and a soft drink.
Required:
Is ordering a soft drink independent of ordering a square pizza? Explain
Answer:
Ordering a soft drink is independent of ordering a square pizza.
Step-by-step explanation:
20% more customers order a soft drink than pizza, therefore they cannot be intertwined.
Given: P(A)=0.5 & P(B)=.7
P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B)
= 0.5 × .7
= 0.35
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
= 0.5 + .7 - 0.35
= 0.85
P(AΔB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A∩B)
= 0.5 + .7 - 2×0.35
= 0.5
P(A') = 1 - P(A)
= 1 - 0.5
= 0.5
P(B') = 1 - P(B)
= 1 - .7
= 0.3
P((A∪B)') = 1 - P(A∪B)
= 1 - 0.85
= 0.15
Yes ordering a soft drink is independent of ordering a square pizza.
We have given 50 percent of the customers at Pizza Palooza order a square pizza, 70 percent order a soft drink, and 35 percent order both a square pizza and a soft drink.
Let A: denote pizza
B: Soft drink
Then,
P(A)=0.5 and P(B)=0.7
And P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B)
= 0.5 × 0.7
= 0.35
We know P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
= 0.5 + 0.7 - 0.35
= 0.85
P(AΔB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A∩B)
= 0.5 + 0.7 - 2×0.35
= 0.5
Also we know P(A') = 1 - P(A)
= 1 - 0.5
= 0.5
And P(B') = 1 - P(B)
= 1 -0.7
= 0.3
And P((A∪B)') = 1 - P(A∪B)
= 1 - 0.85
= 0.15

A researcher wishes to see if the average weights of newborn male infants are higher than the
average weights of newborn female infants. She selects a random sample of 12 male infants and
finds the mean weight is 7.70 pounds. She selects a random sample of 9 female infants and finds
that the mean Leight is 7.80 pounds. Assume that the variables are normally distributed and the
population standard deviation is 0.5 for each group.
Using alpha=0.05 to test if the mean weight of the males is higher than the mean weight of the
females, the pvalue of the test is:
Answer:
The p-value is [tex]p-value = 0.62578[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size of male infant is [tex]n_1 = 12[/tex]
The sample size of female infant is [tex]n_2= 9[/tex]
The sample mean of male infant is [tex]\= x_1 = 7.70 \ lb[/tex]
The sample mean of female infant is [tex]\= x_2 = 7.80 \ lb[/tex]
The population standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 0.5[/tex]
The significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu_ 1 = \mu_2[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1 : \mu_1 > \mu_2[/tex]
The test statistics is mathematically represented as
[tex]t =\frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2 }{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma }{n_1} } + \frac{\sigma }{n_2} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{7.70 -7.80}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5 }{12} } + \frac{0.5 }{9} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = -0.3207[/tex]
From the z-table the p-value is obtained, the value is
[tex]p-value = P(Z > -0.3207) = 0.62578[/tex]
[tex]p-value = 0.62578[/tex]

HELPP PLEASEE ��2222 is the diameter of a circle. The coordinates are �(−2, −3) and �(−12, −5). At what coordinate is the center of the circle located? A. (5, 1) B. (−5, −1) C. (−4, −7) D. (−7, −4)
Answer:
(-7, -4) which is your answer D in the list of options
Step-by-step explanation:
The center of the circle should be located half way in between the given points on the plane.
Then the center ahs to be located half way for the x coordinates of both points:
half way between -12 and -2 (notice that there is a difference of 10 units between them), therefore half way would be at 5 units to the right from the furthest point, that is -12 + 5 = -7
Similarly, for the y coordinate, we see that the difference is between -5 and -3 (a difference of two units) therefore the center point will be located half way (that is one unit) up from the lowest y coordinate: -5 + 1 = -4
Then the center of the circle is located at (-7, -4)
You buy butter for $5.60 a pound. One portion of onion compote requires 1.7 oz of butter. How much does the butter for one portion cost? Round to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Butter per portion equals 60 cents .
Step-by-step explanation:
A pound of butter is worth $ 5.60.
5.60 dollars are converted to cents, 1 dollar equals 100 cents, then:
- One pound of butter equals 560 cents.
A portion of onion compote requires 1.7 oz of butter.
Convert 1.7 oz to pounds, so:
- 1.7 oz of butter equals 0.10625 pounds.
If a pound of butter is worth 560 cents, how much will 0.10625 pounds of butter be worth.
- Rule of 3 is used:
- 560 cents 1 pound butter
X cents 0.10625 pounds of butters
X = 560 * 0.10625
X = 59.5 cents
X = 60 cents per portion

A market survey shows that 50% of the population used Brand Z computers last year, 4% of the population quit their jobs last year, and 2% of the population used Brand Z computers and then quit their jobs. Are the events of using Brand Z computers and quitting your job independent
Answer:
the events of using Brand Z computers and quitting your job are independent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the event that the population used Brand Z computers and let B be the event that the population quit their jobs.
We are told that 50% of the population used Brand Z computers last year. Thus, the probability of event A is;
P(A) = 50% = 0.5
Also, we are told that 4% of the population quit their jobs last year. Thus the probability of event B is;
P(B) = 4% = 0.04
Since 2% of the population used Brand Z computers and then quit their jobs. Then the probability of the population used Brand Z computers and then quit their jobs is;
P(A ∩ B) = 2% = 0.02
From the law of independent events, if A and B are to be independent events, then;
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)
Thus;
P(A ∩ B) = 0.5 × 0.04 = 0.02
This is same value as what was given in the question, thus the events of using Brand Z computers and quitting your job are independent.

If x represents the rate that Joy traveled at for the first half of the trip, write an
expression that represents the amount of time it takes Joy to complete the second half of the
trip at the slower rate.
Answer:
time taken for trip 2nd half > time taken for trip 1st half
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance of Joy's trip be = D
Then, the first half distance travelled = D/2
The rate (speed) at which Joy travels during first half = x
So, time taken to travel first half = Distance / Speed
= (D/2) / x = D / 2x
Second half of trip distance travelled = remaining D/2Let the rate (speed) at which Joy travels during second half = x'
As given, x' (second half speed) < x (first half speed)
So, time taken to travel first half = Distance / Speed
(D/2) / x' = D / 2x'
As x' < x : D / 2x' > D / 2x .
Trip 1st half Time taken trip < 2nd half ; or trip 2nd half time taken > 1st half

Ted has to gift wrap a box of chocolates that is shaped like a triangular prism. What is the minimum amount of wrapping paper he needs?
Answer:
69.48 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of wrapping paper needed = surface area of the triangular prism
Surface area of triangular prism is given as, area = Perimeter of triangular base*height of prism + 2(base area)
Perimeter of triangular base = sum of the 3 sides of the prism
Perimeter of base = 3.5 + 3.5 + 3 = 10 inches
Height of prism = 6 inches
Base area = ½*base of triangle * height of triangle = ½*3*3.16 = 4.74 in²
Surface area of triangular prism = [tex] 10*6 + 2(4.74) [/tex]
[tex] S.A = 60 + 9.48 = 69.48 in^2[/tex]
Amount of wrapping paper needed is 69.48 square inches .
Quadrilateral ABCD is similiar to quadrilateral EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD are 60 feet, 40 feet, and 30 feet long. If the two shortest sides of quadrilateral EFGH are 6 feet long and 12 feet long, how long is the 2nd longest side on quadrilateral EFGH?
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
For ABCD the three longest are:
60,40,30
60 to 40 is 20
40 to 30 is 10
so each time it's decreasing by 1/2
For EFGH the two shortest are:
6 and 12
12 to 6 is 1/2

Two samples from the same population both have M = 84 and s2 = 20, but one sample has n = 10 and the other has n = 20 scores. Both samples are used to evaluate a hypothesis stating that μ = 80 and to compute Cohen’s d. How will the outcomes for the two samples compare?
Complete Question
Two samples from the same population both have M = 84 and s2 = 20, but one sample has n = 10 and the other has n = 20 scores. Both samples are used to evaluate a hypothesis stating that μ = 80 and to compute Cohen’s d. How will the outcomes for the two samples compare?
a.
The larger sample is more likely to reject the hypothesis and will produce a larger value for Cohen’s d.
b.
The larger sample is more likely to reject the hypothesis, but the two samples will have the same value for Cohen’s d.
c.
The larger sample is less likely to reject the hypothesis and will produce a larger value for Cohen’s d.
d.
The larger sample is less likely to reject the hypothesis, but the two samples will have the same value for Cohen’s d.
Answer:
The Cohen's d value is [tex]d = 0.895[/tex]
The correct option is b
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample mean of each population is [tex]M = 84[/tex]
The variance of each population is [tex]s^2 = 20[/tex]
The first sample size is [tex]n_1 = 10[/tex]
The second sample size is [tex]n_2 = 20[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 80[/tex]
Generally the standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]s = \sqrt{20 }[/tex]
=> [tex]s = 4.47[/tex]
The first test statistics is evaluated as
[tex]t_1 = \frac{M - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n_1} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t_1 = \frac{84 - 80 }{ \frac{4.47 }{ \sqrt{10} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t_1 = 2.8298[/tex]
The second test statistics is evaluated as
[tex]t_2 = \frac{M - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n_2} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t_2 = \frac{84 - 80 }{ \frac{4.47 }{ \sqrt{20} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t_2 = 4.0[/tex]
The sample with the larger test statistics (sample size) will more likely reject the null hypothesis
Generally the Cohen's d value is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]d = \frac{M - \mu }{s }[/tex]
=> [tex]d = \frac{ 84 - 80 }{4.47 }[/tex]
=> [tex]d = 0.895[/tex]
Given that the the sample mean and sample size are the same for both sample the Cohen's d value will be the same

A random sample of 17 supermarkets from Region 2 had a mean sales of 78.3 with a standard deviation of 8.5. Does the test marketing reveal a difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 2? Let μ1 be the mean sales per market in Region 1 and μ2 be the mean sales per market in Region 2. Use a significance level of α=0.02 for the test. Assume that the population variances are not equal and that the two populations are norm
Answer:
We conclude that there is no difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 1 and 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a random sample of 12 supermarkets from Region 1 had mean sales of 84 with a standard deviation of 6.6.
A random sample of 17 supermarkets from Region 2 had a mean sales of 78.3 with a standard deviation of 8.5.
Let [tex]\mu_1[/tex] = mean sales per market in Region 1.
[tex]\mu_2[/tex] = mean sales per market in Region 2.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu_1-\mu_2[/tex] = 0 {means that there is no difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 1 and 2}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : > [tex]\mu_1-\mu_2\neq[/tex] 0 {means that there is a difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 1 and 2}
The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviations;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+ {\frac{1}{n_2}}} }[/tex] ~ [tex]t__n_1_+_n_2_-_2[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X_1[/tex] = sample mean sales in Region 1 = 84
[tex]\bar X_2[/tex] = sample mean sales in Region 2 = 78.3
[tex]s_1[/tex] = sample standard deviation of sales in Region 1 = 6.6
[tex]s_2[/tex] = sample standard deviation of sales in Region 2 = 8.5
[tex]n_1[/tex] = sample of supermarkets from Region 1 = 12
[tex]n_2[/tex] = sample of supermarkets from Region 2 = 17
Also, [tex]s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)\times s_1^{2}+(n_2-1)\times s_2^{2} }{n_1+n_2-2} }[/tex] = [tex]s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(12-1)\times 6.6^{2}+(17-1)\times 8.5^{2} }{12+17-2} }[/tex] = 7.782
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{(84-78.3)-(0)}{7.782 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{12}+ {\frac{1}{17}}} }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_2_7[/tex]
= 1.943
The value of t-test statistics is 1.943.
Now, at a 0.02 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -2.472 and 2.473 at 27 degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that there is no difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 1 and 2.
