A certain marathon has had a wheelchair division since 1977. An interested fan wondered who is​ faster: the​ men's marathon winner or the​ women's wheelchair marathon​ winner, on average. A paired​ t-test was performed on data from a random selection of 15 of the marathons to determine if there was evidence to indicate that the​ women's winning wheelchair time is faster than the​ men's winning running​ time, on average. What must be true about the population of differences in the​ women's wheelchair winning times and​ men's winning times at this marathon for conclusions from the paired​ t-test to be​ valid? Choose the correct answer below. A. The distribution of sample means of the differences will be approximately normal if there are at least 30 years of data in the sample​ and/or if the population of differences in winning times for all years is normal. B. Because there were at least 5 years of​ observations, the distribution of sample means of the differences will be approximately normal by the Central Limit Theorem. C. Because the sample size is large​ enough, the distribution of differences for all years will be normal. D. Because of the small sample size of differences in winning times between the​ women's wheelchair winner and the​ men's running​ winner, the distribution of sample means of the differences cannot be normal.

Answers

Answer:

A. The distribution of sample means of the differences will be approximately normal if there are at least 30 years of data in the sample​ and/or if the population of differences in winning times for all years is normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

In other to perform a valid paired test, one of the conditions required is that, data for both groups must be approximately normal. To attain normality, the population distribution for the groups must be normal or based on the central limit theorem, the sample size must be large enough, usually n > 30. Hence, once either of the two conditions are met, the paired sample will be valid.

The sum of four
consecutive odd number is 8o. Find the number​

Answers

Answer:

The sum of 4 consecutive odd number is 80

Let X be the first of these numbers

Then the next odd number is X+2

The third is X+4The fourth is X+6

All of these add up to 80

(X) + (X+2) + (X+4) + (X+6) = 80

Using the commutative and associative laws, let's transform this equation into

(X + X + X + X) + (2 + 4 + 6) = 804X + 12 = 80

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation gives4X = 68

Divide both sides by 4 gives

X = 17

Going back to the original question:What are the 4 consecutive odd numbers: 17, 19, 21, 23Checking our answer:17 + 19 + 21 + 23 = 80 Correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she invested

lets assume this was for 1 year

0.09(x/2) + 0.07(x/2) = 160

multiply each side by 2 to cancel the denominators:

0.09x + 0.07x = 320

The compound interest formula is useful for this.

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

where P is the principal invested at annual rate r compounded n times per year for t years. A is the ending balance.

  A = $5000(1 +0.035/2)^(2·15) = $5000·1.0175^30 ≈ $8414.00

Ivan will have $8414 in his account after 15 years.

A local school board member randomly sampled private and public high school teachers in his district to compare the proportions of National Board Certified (NBC) teachers in the faculty. The results were:

Answers

Answer:

0.025 ;

(-0.7198 ; 0.7698)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table :

_____________ private schls ___ public schls

Sample size, n _____ 80 __________ 520

P, NBC teachers ___ 0.175 ________ 0.150

P1 = P of  private school teachers

P2 = P of public school teachers

Difference in proportion :

P1 - P12 = 0.175 - 0.150.= 0.025

The 90% confidence interval for 2 - sample proportion :

C.I = (p1-p2) ± [Zcritical * √(p1(1-p1)/n1 + (p2(1-p2)/n2)]

Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

C.I = 0.025 ± [1.645 * √((0.175*0.825)/80 + (0.150*0.850)/520)]

C.I = 0.025 ± [1.645 * √(0.0018046875 + 0.0002451)]

C.I = 0.025 ± 1.645 * 0.0452755

C.I = 0.025 ± 0.07448

C.I = (-0.7198 ; 0.7698)

Tay–Sachs Disease Tay–Sachs disease is a genetic disorder that is usually fatal in young children. If both parents are carriers of the disease, the probability that their offspring will develop the disease is approximately .25. Suppose a husband and wife are both carriers of the disease and the wife is pregnant on three different occasions. If the occurrence of Tay–Sachs in any one offspring is independent of the occurrence in any other, what are the probabilities ofthese events?

a. All three children will develop Tay–Sachs disease.
b. Only one child will develop Tay–Sachs disease.
c. The third child will develop Tay–Sachs disease, given that the first two did not.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0156 = 1.56% probability that all children will develop the disease.

b) 0.4219 = 42.19% probability that only one child will develop the disease.

c) 0.1406 = 14.06% probability that the third children will develop the disease, given that the first two did not.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they carry the disease, or they do not. The probability of a children carrying the disease is independent of any other children, 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.

The probability that their offspring will develop the disease is approximately .25.

This means that [tex]p = 0.25[/tex]

Three children:

This means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

Question a:

This is P(X = 3). So

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{0} = 0.0156[/tex]

0.0156 = 1.56% probability that all children will develop the disease.

Question b:

This is P(X = 1). So

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

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{3,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{2} = 0.4219[/tex]

0.4219 = 42.19% probability that only one child will develop the disease.

c. The third child will develop Tay–Sachs disease, given that the first two did not.

Third independent of the first two, so just multiply the probabilities.

First two do not develop, each with 0.75 probability.

Third develops, which 0.25 probability. So

[tex]p = 0.75*0.75*0.25 = 0.1406[/tex]

0.1406 = 14.06% probability that the third children will develop the disease, given that the first two did not.

A line is perpendicular to the line y = 4x - 3 and has x-intercept (2,0). Which of the following is an equation of the line?

Answers

Answer:

y = -1/4x+1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x - 3

This is in slope intercept form, y = mx+b where the slope is m

The slope is 4

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals

-1/4 is the slope of the perpendicular line

y = -1/4x+b

Using the point (2,0)

0 = -1/4(2)+b

0 = -1/2+b

b = 1/2

y = -1/4x+1/2

Which of the following pairs of functions are inverses of each other?
A. f(x) = 5 + x and g(x) = 5 - x
B. f(x) = 2x -9 and g(x)=x+9/2
C. f(x) = 3-6 and g(x)=x+6/2
D. f(x)= x/3+4 and g(x) = 3x - 4​

Answers

The pair of functions that are inverses of each other is B. f(x) = 2x - 9 and g(x) = x + 9/2.

To determine if two functions are inverses of each other, we need to check if the composition of the functions results in the identity function, which is f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x.

Let's analyze the given options:

A. f(x) = 5 + x and g(x) = 5 - x

To check if they are inverses, we compute f(g(x)) = f(5 - x) = 5 + (5 - x) = 10 - x, which is not equal to x. Similarly, g(f(x)) = g(5 + x) = 5 - (5 + x) = -x, which is also not equal to x. Therefore, these functions are not inverses.

B. f(x) = 2x - 9 and g(x) = x + 9/2

By calculating f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), we find that f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x, which means these functions are inverses of each other.

C. f(x) = 3 - 6 and g(x) = x + 6/2

Similar to option A, we compute f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), and find that they are not equal to x. Hence, these functions are not inverses.

D. f(x) = x/3 + 4 and g(x) = 3x - 4

After evaluating f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), we see that f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x. Therefore, these functions are inverses of each other.

In summary, the pair of functions that are inverses of each other is B. f(x) = 2x - 9 and g(x) = x + 9/2.
