Answers

Answer:

x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You use proportions to figure out x, what you first do is set up the proportion of the big triangle, then the small triangle.

[tex]\frac{(9+3)}{3}[/tex]= [tex]\frac{12}{x}[/tex]

By setting up this proportion, you would then cross multiply, and get 12x = 36. This is when you divide by 12 on both sides and get x=3

Point A lies outside of plane P, how many lines can be drawn parallel to plane P that pass through point A?

A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. an infinite number

Answers

Answer:

B. an infinite number

Step-by-step explanation:

Since point A lies outside of P, the number of lines that can be drawn parallel to P and passing through point A is only infinite. It is infinite because it is just one given point lying outside the plane. If there is more than one point then it will be otherwise.

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 444 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 41 bag sample had a mean of 440 grams with a variance of 441. Assume the population is normally distributed. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Specify the type of hypothesis test.

Answers

Answer:

The null hypothesis is [tex]H_0: \mu = 444[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1: \mu < 444[/tex]

The p-value of the test is 0.1148 > 0.05, which means that the sample does not give enough evidence to conclude that the machine is underfilling the bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 444 gram setting.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the machine works correctly, that is, the mean is of 444. So

[tex]H_0: \mu = 444[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if they are underfilling, that is, if the mean is of less than 444. So

[tex]H_1: \mu < 444[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

444 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 444[/tex]

A 41 bag sample had a mean of 440 grams with a variance of 441.

This means that [tex]n = 41, X = 440, s = \sqrt{441} = 21[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{440 - 444}{\frac{21}{\sqrt{41}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = -1.22[/tex]

P-value of the test:

Right-tailed test(test if the mean is less than a value), with 41 - 1 = 40 df and t = -1.22.

Using a t-distribution calculator, this p-value is of 0.1148

The p-value of the test is 0.1148 > 0.05, which means that the sample does not give enough evidence to conclude that the machine is underfilling the bags.

A soft drink machine outputs a mean of 29 ounces per cup. The machine's output is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 4 ounces. What is the probability of filling a cup between 33 and 35 ounces? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

0.8919 = 89.19% probability of filling a cup between 33 and 35 ounces.

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.

A soft drink machine outputs a mean of 29 ounces per cup. The machine's output is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 4 ounces.

This means that [tex]\mu = 29, \sigma = 4[/tex]

What is the probability of filling a cup between 33 and 35 ounces?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 35 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 33.

X = 35

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

[tex]Z = \frac{35 - 29}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9332.

X = 33

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

[tex]Z = \frac{33 - 29}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0413.

0.9332 - 0.0413 = 0.8919

0.8919 = 89.19% probability of filling a cup between 33 and 35 ounces.

et f(x)=6(2)x−1+4. The graph of f(x) is translated 7 units to the left to form the graph of g(x). Enter the equation for g(x) in the box.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]g(x) = 6(2)^{x -8}+ 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = 6(2)^{x - 1}+ 4[/tex]

Required

Find g(x)

From the question, f(x) is translated 7 units left;

The rule of translation is: [tex](x,y) \to (x-7,y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]g(x) = f(x - 7)[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = 6(2)^{x -7- 1}+ 4[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = 6(2)^{x -8}+ 4[/tex]

A teacher calculates for the test grades in
Class A, mean = 32 and sd = 4
Class B, mean = 32 and sd = 8
a. If the teacher was going to guess what any student in his/her class would earn, what is the best score
to guess?
b. Which of the classes has more consistency in their scores? Why?

Answers

Answer:

a. best score to guess would be 33

b. Standard deviation simplifies the square root of the mean so makes it closer to 1 has more consistency as the mean of 32 when squared is sqrt 32  is Class A as class a = 4 and is closer to 5.65685425

as 5.65685425^2 = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are comparing two normally-distributed variables on the same measurement scale then yes, you can regard the standard deviation as an indicator of how reliable the mean is--the smaller the standard deviation, the better able you are to "zero in" on the actual population mean.

a. proofs;

We find  32/6 = 5.333 and 32/5 = 6.4 and 6.4 is closer to both sd 4 and 8 than 5.33 is. As 6.4 it is closer to 6

But when we use 33/6 = 5.5 and therefore shows close range 6

therefore the two sd  proves it is slightly high 32 score average for both classes A + B when joined and high 32 = 33 mean when classes A+B are joined or you could say 32/8 = 4 is class B becomes lower tests scores as 32/4 = 8 of class A that has higher test scores.

In this exercise we have to use probability and statistics to organize the students' grades, so we have:

A) best score is  33

B) Class A

In the first part of the exercise we have to analyze the grades of each class, like this:

A)Class A: 32/4

Class B: 32/8

Dividing each of them we have:

[tex]32/4=8 \\32/8=4[/tex]

B) With the information given above, we can say that the best class is A.

A game consists of tossing three coins. If all three coins land on heads, then the player wins $75. If all three coins land on tails, then the player wins $45. Otherwise, the player wins nothing. On average, how much should a player expect to win each game

Answers

Answer:

On average, a player should expect to win $15.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value in an event with outcomes:

x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ

Each with probability:

p₁, ..., pₙ

is given by:

Ev = x₁*p₁ + ... +xₙ*pₙ

In this case we have 3 outcomes:

player wins $75 = x₁

player wins $45 = x₂

player does not win = x₃

Let's find the probabilities of these events.

player wins $75)

Here we must have the 3 coins landing on heads, so there is only one possible outcome to win $75

While the total number of outcomes for tossing 3 coins, is the product between the number of outcomes for each individual event (where the individual events are tossing each individual coin, each one with 2 outcomes)

Then the number total of outcomes is:

C = 2*2*2 = 8

Then the probability of winning $75 is the quotient between the number of outcomes to win (only one) and the total number of outcomes (8)

p₁ = 1/8

Win $45:

This happens if the 3 coins land on tails, so is exactly equal to the case above, and the probability is the same:

p₂ = 1/8

Not wining:

Remember that:

p₁ + p₂ + ... + pₙ = 1

Then for this case, we must have:

p₁ + p₂ + p₃ = 1

1/8 + 1/8 + p₃ = 1

p₃ = 1 - 1/8 - 1/8

p₃ = 6/8

Then the expected value will be:

Ev = $75*1/8 + $45*1/8 + $0*6/8 = $15

On average, a player should expect to win $15.

The article included the statement "A paired t-test was performed to determine whether there was any change in the mean number of crashes before and after the addition of distance information on the signs." Carry out such a test. (Note: The relevant normal probability plot shows a substantial linear pattern.)a. State and test the appropriate hypotheses. (Use = 0.05.)b. Calculate the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)t = _____p-value = _____c. State the conclusion in the problem context.A. Fail to reject H0. The data does not suggest a significant mean difference in the average number of accidents after information was added to road signs.B. Reject H0. The data suggests a significant mean difference in the average number of accidents after information was added to road signs.C. Fail to reject H0. The data suggests a significant mean difference in the average number of accidents after information was added to road signs.D. Reject H0. The data does not suggest a significant mean difference in the average number of accidents after information was added to road signs.2. If a seventh site were to be randomly selected among locations bearing service signs, between what values would you predict the difference in the number of crashes to lie? (Use a 95% prediction interval. Round your answers to two decimal places.) What is meant by Santan religion ? Mention the importance teachings of Hinduism. Write in standard form using integers. (ASAP help)Is it a, b, c or d?
