Answer:
0.06597
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that thirty-seven percent of the American population has blood type O+
Five Americans are tested for blood group.
Assuming these five Americans are not related, we can say that each person is independent of the other to have O+ blood group.
Also probability of any one having this blood group = p = 0.37
So X no of Americans out of five who were having this blood group is binomial with p =0.37 and n =5
Required probability
=The probability that at least four of the next five Americans tested will have blood type O+
= [tex]P(X\geq 4)\\= P(X=4)+P(x=5)\\= 5C4 (0.37)^4 (1-0.37) + 5C5 (0.37)^5\\= 0.06597[/tex]
Answer:
Required probability = 0.066
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Thirty-seven percent of the American population has blood type O+.
Firstly, the binomial probability is given by;
[tex]P(X=r) =\binom{n}{r}p^{r}(1-p)^{n-r} for x = 0,1,2,3,....[/tex]
where, n = number of trails(samples) taken = 5 Americans
r = number of successes = at least four
p = probability of success and success in our question is % of
the American population having blood type O+ , i.e. 37%.
Let X = Number of people tested having blood type O+
So, X ~ [tex]Binom(n=5,p=0.37)[/tex]
So, probability that at least four of the next five Americans tested will have blood type O+ = P(X >= 4)
P(X >= 4) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)
= [tex]\binom{5}{4}0.37^{4}(1-0.37)^{5-4} + \binom{5}{5}0.37^{5}(1-0.37)^{5-5}[/tex]
= [tex]5*0.37^{4}*0.63^{1} +1*0.37^{5}*1[/tex] = 0.066.
Consider the experimental situation described below. Ability to grow in shade may help pines in the dry forests of Arizona resist drought. How well do these pines grow in shade? Investigators planted pine seedlings in a greenhouse in either full light or light reduced to 5% of normal by shade cloth. At the end of the study, they dried the young trees and weighed them. Identify the experimental unit(s) or subject(s)?
a) shade cloth
b) pine tree seedlings
c) drought resistance
d) greenhouses
e) rainy seasons
Final answer:
The experimental unit in the given scenario is the pine tree seedlings which are used to test the hypothesis regarding their growth in shade and adaptation to drought conditions.
Explanation:
The experimental unit or subject in the described experiment is b) pine tree seedlings. These seedlings are what the investigators manipulate (by altering light conditions) and measure (by weighing after drying) to test the hypothesis regarding the growth of pines in shade as an adaptation to resist drought.
This experiment tests how pine seedlings grow in different lighting conditions to characterize features like growth rate and drought resistance, informed by observations such as acclimatization where the structure of leaves change when transitioning from sun to shade or vice versa to achieve photosynthetic efficiency.
Consider a random sample of ten children selected from a population of infants receiving antacids that contain aluminum, in order to treat peptic or digestive disorders. The distribution of plasma aluminum levels is known to be approximately normal; however its mean u and standard deviation o are not known. The mean aluminum level for the sample of n = 10 infants is found to be X = 37.20 ug/l and the sample standard deviation is s = 7.13 ug/1. Furthermore, the mean plasma aluminum level for the population of infants not receiving antacids is known to be only 4.13 ug/1.(a) Formulate the null hypothesis and complementary alternative hypothesis, for a two-sided test of whether the mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants receiving antacids is equal to the mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants not receiving antacids.(b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants receiving antacids.(c) Calculate the p-value of this sample (as best as possible), at the a=.05 significance level.(d) Based on your answers in parts (b) and (c), is the null hypothesis rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis, at the a = .05 significance level? Interpret your conclusion: What exactly has been demonstrated, based on the empirical evidence?(e) With the knowledge that significantly elevated plasma aluminum levels are toxic to human beings, reformulate the null hypothesis and complementary alternative hypothesis, for the appropriate one-sided test of the mean plasma aluminum levels. With the same sample data as above, how does the new p-value compare with that found in part (c), and what is the resulting conclusion and interpretation?
Answer:
a. Null hypothesis: The mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants receiving antacids is equal to the mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants not receiving antacids.
Complementary alternative hypothesis: The mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants receiving antacids is different from the mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants not receiving antacids.
b. (32.1, 42.3)
c. p-value < .00001
d. The null hypothesis is rejected at the α=0.05 significance level
e. Reformulated null hypothesis: The mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants receiving antacids is equal to the mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants not receiving antacids.
Reformulated complementary alternative hypothesis: The mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants receiving antacids is higher than the mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants not receiving antacids.
p-value equals < .00001. The null hypothesis is rejected at the α=0.05 significance level. This suggests that being given antacids greatly increases the plasma aluminum levels of children.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Null hypothesis: The mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants receiving antacids is equal to the mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants not receiving antacids.
Complementary alternative hypothesis: The mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants receiving antacids is different from the mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants not receiving antacids. This may imply that being given antacids significantly changes the plasma aluminum level of infants.
b. Since the population standard deviation σ is unknown, we must use the t distribution to find 95% confidence limits for μ. For a t distribution with 10-1=9 degrees of freedom, 95% of the observations lie between -2.262 and 2.262. Therefore, replacing σ with s, a 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ is:
(X bar - 2.262\frac{s}{\sqrt{10} } , X bar + 2.262\frac{s}{\sqrt{10} })
Substituting in the values of X bar and s, the interval becomes:
(37.2 - 2.262\frac{7.13}{\sqrt{10} } , 37.2 + 2.262\frac{7.13}{\sqrt{10} })
or (32.1, 42.3)
c. To calculate p-value of the sample , we need to calculate the t-statistics which equals:
t=\frac{(Xbar-u)}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{10} } } = \frac{(37.2-4.13)}{\frac{7.13}{\sqrt{10} } } = 14.67.
Given two-sided test and degrees of freedom = 9, the p-value equals < .00001, which is less than 0.05.
d. The mean plasma aluminum level for the population of infants not receiving antacids is 4.13 ug/l - not a plausible value of mean plasma aluminum level for the population of infants receiving antacids. The 95% confidence interval for the population mean of infants receiving antacids is (32.1, 42.3) and does not cover the value 4.13. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected at the α=0.05 significance level. This suggests that being given antacids greatly changes the plasma aluminum levels of children.
e. Reformulated null hypothesis: The mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants receiving antacids is equal to the mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants not receiving antacids.
Reformulated complementary alternative hypothesis: The mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants receiving antacids is higher than the mean plasma aluminum level of the population of infants not receiving antacids.
Given one-sided test and degree of freedom = 9, the p-value equals < .00001, which is less than 0.05. This result is similar to result in part (c). the null hypothesis is rejected at the α=0.05 significance level. This suggests that being given antacids greatly increases the plasma aluminum levels of children.
To test whether the mean plasma aluminum level of infants on antacids differs from those not on antacids, a null hypothesis (that the means are equal) is established alongside an alternative. A confidence interval and p-value are calculated to assess this hypothesis, and based on these results, a decision is made to reject or not reject the null hypothesis.
Explanation:Hypotheses Formulation and Test Statistics
To analyze the plasma aluminum levels in infants receiving antacids compared to those not receiving them, one would perform a hypothesis test. The steps include formulating a null hypothesis (H0) and an alternative hypothesis (Ha), calculating the test statistic, finding the p-value, and making a decision regarding H0 based on the p-value and the confidence interval.
Null Hypothesis (H0): The mean plasma aluminum level of infants receiving antacids is equal to the mean level of those not receiving antacids (H0: μ = 4.13 µg/L).
Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): The mean plasma aluminum level of infants receiving antacids is not equal to the mean level of those not receiving antacids (Ha: μ ≠ 4.13 µg/L).
To construct a 95% confidence interval, we use the sample mean (× = 37.20 µg/L), sample standard deviation (s = 7.13 µg/L), the sample size (n = 10), and the t-distribution since the population variance is unknown. The confidence interval provides a range of values within which the true mean is likely to lie.
For the p-value, we compare it against the alpha level α=0.05. If the p-value is less than α, we reject H0; otherwise, we do not reject H0. The p-value indicates the likelihood of obtaining a sample mean at least as extreme as the one observed if H0 were true.
If the confidence interval does not include the population mean of children not receiving antacids and the p-value is less than α, we reject H0 in favor of Ha. If a one-sided test is appropriate (for example, if we only want to test if the mean aluminum level is higher in the treated group), Ha would be reformulated accordingly (Ha: μ > 4.13 µg/L), potentially resulting in a different decision from the two-sided test.

If you could also give step by step, thank you!!!
Answer:
This isn't an answer but it might help
for exponential decay use a(1-r)^t
exponential growth uses a(1+r)^t
compound interest uses p(1+r/n)^(t x n)
and for interest compounded continuously use Pe^(rt)
a= initial amount, r= rate(%), t= time, P= principle (practically the same as a), and n= number of times compounded
for the different # of times compounded it goes like this: yearly n=1, daily n=365, monthly n=12, weekly n=52, quarterly n=4, semi-annually n=2, and bi-monthly (this is the tricky one) can be either n=6 or n= 24.
also as long as you have a calculator that can do semi-complex things like a Ti 30xs multiview or a ti 36x pro, I have both of those and they can do it as long as you input the formula, hope all this advice helps because I saw you post many of the same types of question. good luck.

Answer: she would need $123775.5 in her account when she retires.
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for determining future value involving constant deposits at constant intervals. It is expressed as
S = R[{(1 + r)^n - 1)}/r][1 + r]
Where
S represents the future value of the investment.
R represents the regular payments made(could be weekly, monthly)
r = represents interest rate/number of payment intervals
n represents the total number of payments made.
From the information given,
Since she would be taking $1500 four times in a year, then
R = 1500
r = 0.04/4 = 0.01
n = 3 × 20 = 60 times in 20 years
Therefore,
S = 1500[{(1 + 0.01)^60 - 1)}/0.01][1 + 0.01]
S = 1500[{(1.01)^60 - 1)}/0.01][1.01]
S = 1500[{(1.817 - 1)}/0.01][1.01]
S = 1500[0.817/0.01][1.01]
S = 1500[81.7][1.01]
S = 1500 × 82.517
S = 123775.5
Suppose that 76% of Americans prefer Coke to Pepsi. A sample of 80 was taken. What is the probability that at least seventy percent of the sample prefers Coke to Pepsi?
A. 0.104
B. 0.142
C. 0.896
D. 0.858
E. Can not be determined.
Answer:
C. 0.896
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
In this problem, we have that:
[tex]n = 80, p = 0.76[/tex]
So
[tex]E(X) = np = 80*0.76 = 60.8[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{80*0.76*0.24} = 3.82[/tex]
What is the probability that at least seventy percent of the sample prefers Coke to Pepsi?
0.7*80 = 56.
This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 56. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{56 - 60.8}{3.82}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.26[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.26[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1040.
1 - 0.1040 = 0.8960
So the correct answer is:
C. 0.896
Speedy Oil provides a single-server automobile oil change and lubrication service. Customers provide an arrival rate of 2.5 cars per hour. The service rate is 5 cars per hour. Assume that arrivals follow a Poisson probability distribution and that service times follow an exponential probability distribution.
If required, round your answer to the nearest whole number.
(a) What is the average number of cars in the system?
(b) What is the average time that a car waits for the oil and lubrication service to begin?
(c) What is the average time a car spends in the system?
(d) What is the probability that an arrival has to wait for service?
Answer:
(a) Average number of cars in the system is 1
(b) Average time a car waits is 12 minutes
(c) Average time a car spends in the system is 2 minutes
(d) Probability that an arrival has to wait for service is 0.08.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following
Arrival Rate, A = 2.5
Service Rate B = 5
(a) Average Number of Cars in the System is determined by dividing the Arrival Rate A by the difference between the Service Rate B, and Arrival Rate A.
Average number of cars = A/(B - A)
= 2.5/(5 - 2.5)
= 2.5/2.5 = 1
There is an average of 1 car.
(b) Average time a car waits = A/B(B - A)
= 2.5/5(5 - 2.5)
= 2.5/(5 × 2.5)
= 2.5/12.5
= 1/5
= 0.20 hours
Which is 12 minutes
(c) Average time a car spends in the system is the ratio of the average time a car waits to the service rate.
Average time = 0.2/5
= 0.04 hours
= 2.4 minutes
Which is approximately 2 minutes.
(d) Probability that an arrival has to wait for service is the ratio of the average time a car waits to rate of arrivals.
Probability = 0.2/2.5
= 0.08
The average number of cars in the system can be found using Little's Law. The average time a car waits for the oil and lubrication service to begin is half of the average time in the system. The probability that an arrival has to wait for service is obtained by dividing the arrival rate by the service rate.
Explanation:(a) To find the average number of cars in the system, we can use Little's Law. Little's Law states that the average number of cars in the system (L) equals the arrival rate (λ) multiplied by the average time a car spends in the system (W). In this case, λ = 2.5 cars per hour and the service rate (μ) = 5 cars per hour.
So, L = λ * W. Rearranging the formula, W = L / λ. Substituting the values, W = (2.5 / 5) = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.
(b) The average time that a car waits for the oil and lubrication service to begin is equal to half of the average time a car spends in the system, which is 30 minutes.
(c) The average time a car spends in the system is equal to the average waiting time plus the average service time. The average service time (1/μ) in this case is 1/5 hour or 12 minutes. Therefore, the average time a car spends in the system is 30 minutes + 12 minutes = 42 minutes.
(d) To find the probability that an arrival has to wait for service, we can use the formula P(wait) = λ / μ = 2.5 / 5 = 0.5 or 50%

Suppose that we examine the relationship between high school GPA and college GPA. We collect data from students at a local college and find that there is a strong, positive, linear association between the variables. The linear regression predicted college GPA = 1.07 + 0.62 * high school GPA. The standard error of the regression, se, was 0.374. What does this value of the standard error of the regression tell us?
Answer:
The typical error between a predicted college GPA using this regression model and an actual college GPA for a given student will be about 0.374 grade points in size (absolute value).
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear regression line for College GPA based on High school GPA is:
College GPA = 1.07 + 0.62 High-school GPA
It is provided that the standard error of the regression line is,
[tex]s_{e}=0.374[/tex]
The standard error of a regression line is the average distance between the predicted value and the regression equation.
It is the square root of the average squared deviations.
It is also known as the standard error of estimate.
The standard error of 0.374 implies that:
The typical error between a predicted college GPA using this regression model and an actual college GPA for a given student will be about 0.374 grade points in size (absolute value).
The standard error of the regression tells us the average amount that the actual college GPA deviates from the predicted college GPA. A smaller standard error indicates a better fit of the model to the data. In this case, the small standard error suggests that the linear regression model provides a good prediction of college GPA based on high school GPA for the students at the local college.
Explanation:The standard error of the regression tells us the average amount that the actual college GPA deviates from the predicted college GPA based on the high school GPA. In this case, the standard error of the regression is 0.374. This means that, on average, the actual college GPA for a student deviates from the predicted college GPA by approximately 0.374.
This value gives us an idea of the accuracy of the linear regression model in predicting college GPA based on high school GPA. A smaller standard error indicates a better fit of the model to the data, implying that the predicted college GPA is closer to the actual college GPA. Conversely, a larger standard error suggests that the model's predictions are less accurate.
In this case, the standard error of the regression is relatively small (0.374), which indicates that the linear regression model provides a good prediction of college GPA based on high school GPA for the students at the local college.

Determine the longest interval in which the given initial value problem is certain to have a unique twice-differentiable solution. Do not attempt to find the solution. (Enter your answer using interval notation.) ty'' + 7y = t, y(1) = 1, y'(1) = 7
Answer:
[tex] y'' + \frac{7}{t} y = 1[/tex]
For this case we can use the theorem of Existence and uniqueness that says:
Let p(t) , q(t) and g(t) be continuous on [a,b] then the differential equation given by:
[tex] y''+ p(t) y' +q(t) y = g(t) , y(t_o) =y_o, y'(t_o) = y'_o[/tex]
has unique solution defined for all t in [a,b]
If we apply this to our equation we have that p(t) =0 and [tex] q(t) = \frac{7}{t}[/tex] and [tex] g(t) =1[/tex]
We see that [tex] q(t)[/tex] is not defined at t =0, so the largest interval containing 1 on which p,q and g are defined and continuous is given by [tex] (0, \infty)[/tex]
And by the theorem explained before we ensure the existence and uniqueness on this interval of a solution (unique) who satisfy the conditions required.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following differential equation given:
[tex] t y'' + 7y = t[/tex]
With the conditions y(1)= 1 and y'(1) = 7
The frist step on this case is divide both sides of the differential equation by t and we got:
[tex] y'' + \frac{7}{t} y = 1[/tex]
For this case we can use the theorem of Existence and uniqueness that says:
Let p(t) , q(t) and g(t) be continuous on [a,b] then the differential equation given by:
[tex] y''+ p(t) y' +q(t) y = g(t) , y(t_o) =y_o, y'(t_o) = y'_o[/tex]
has unique solution defined for all t in [a,b]
If we apply this to our equation we have that p(t) =0 and [tex] q(t) = \frac{7}{t}[/tex] and [tex] g(t) =1[/tex]
We see that [tex] q(t)[/tex] is not defined at t =0, so the largest interval containing 1 on which p,q and g are defined and continuous is given by [tex] (0, \infty)[/tex]
And by the theorem explained before we ensure the existence and uniqueness on this interval of a solution (unique) who satisfy the conditions required.
Answer:
The longest interval in which the given initial value problem is certain to have a unique twice-differentiable solution is (0,∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the differential equation:
ty'' + 7y = t .................................(1)
Together with the initial conditions:
y(1) = 1, y'(1) = 7
We want to determine the longest interval in which the given initial value problem is certain to have a unique twice-differentiable solution.
First, let us have the differential equation (1) in the form:
y'' + p(t)y' + q(t)y = r(t) ..................(2)
We do that by dividing (1) by t
So that
y''+ (7/t)y = 1 ....................................(3)
Comparing (3) with (2)
p(t) = 0
q(t) = 7/t
r(t) = 1
For t = 0, p(t) and r(t) are continuous, but q(t) = 7/0, which is undefined. Zero is certainly out of the required points.
In fact (-∞, 0) and (0,∞) are the points where p(t), q(t) and r(t) are continuous. But t = 1, which is contained in the initial conditions is found in (0,∞), and that makes it the correct interval.
So the largest interval containing 1 on which p(t), q(t) and r(t) are defined and continuous is (0,∞)
In the 2009 General Social Survey, respondents were asked if they favored or opposed death penalty for people convicted of murder. The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion who were in favor (say, p) was (0.65, 0.69). For the above data, the 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of respondents who were opposed to the death penalty would be narrower than the one your derived above
Answer:
The calculated 99% confidence interval is wider than the 95% confidence interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
95% confidence interval for the population proportion
(0.65, 0.69)
Let [tex]\hat{p}[/tex] be the sample proportion
Confidence interval:
[tex]p \pm z_{stat}(\text{Standard error})[/tex]
[tex]z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96[/tex]
Let x be the standard error, then, we can write
[tex]\hat{p} - 1.96x = 0.65\\\hat{p}+1.96x = 0.69[/tex]
Solving the two equations, we get,
[tex]2\hat{p} = 0.65 + 0.69\\\\\hat{p} = \dfrac{1.34}{2} = 0.67\\\\x = \dfrac{0.69 - 0.67}{1.96} \approx 0.01[/tex]
99% Confidence interval:
[tex]p \pm z_{stat}(\text{Standard error})[/tex]
[tex]z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = 2.58[/tex]
Putting values, we get,
[tex]0.67 \pm 2.58(0.01)\\=0.67 \pm 0.0258\\=(0.6442,0.6958)[/tex]
Thus, the calculated 99% confidence interval is wider than the 95% confidence interval .
On any given day, there is a 52% chance of there being an auto-related accident on a certain stretch of highway. The occurrence of an accident from one day to the next is independent. (Use Statdisk to compute the values and write the answers below) (a). What is the probability that there will be 4 accidents in the next 9 days
Answer:
See the explanation.Step-by-step explanation:
We need to observe total 9 days.First we need to choose any 4 days from the 9 days. From these total 9 days, 4 days can be chosen in [tex]^9C_4 = \frac{9!}{4!\times5!} = \frac{6\times7\times8\times9}{4!} = 126[/tex] ways.
The probability of occurring an auto related accident is [tex]\frac{52}{100}[/tex].
Similarly, the probability of not occurring an accident is [tex]\frac{100 - 52}{100} = \frac{48}{100}[/tex].
Hence, the required probability is [tex]126\times(\frac{52}{100} )^4(\frac{48}{100} )^5[/tex].

%
Find the correlation The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan (The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan 0.001) between beak heat loss and temperature:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The population of the study is the Toco Toucan, the largest member of the toucan family. It is believed that the length and size of the beak are due to its function of dissipating heat (a cooling mechanism).
You have two variables of interest.
X: Outdoor temperature.
Temperature (ºC) 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
Y: Total beak heat loss, as a percent of the total body heat loss of a toucan.
Percent heat loss from beak 33 34 33 36 36 47 52 51 41 50 49 50 55 60 60 62
The objective is to construct a least-squares regression line to predict the body heat loss of the toucans given the outdoor temperature.
Using a statistical software I estimated the regression model:
^Yi= 2.71 + 1.96Xi
1. To predict what will be the value of the beak heat loss as a percent of the total body heat loss at a temperature of 25ºC you have to simply replace the value of X in the equation:
^Yi= 2.71 + 1.96 (25)= 51.71ºC
The expected beak heat loss given an outdoor temperature of 25ºC is 51.71ºC.
2. To know what percent of the variation of the beak heat loss is explained by the outdoor temperature you have to calculate the coefficient of determination.
R²= 0.85
This means that 85% of the variability of the beak heat loss as a percent of the total body heat loss of the Toco Toucans is explained by the outdoor Temperature under the estimated model ^Yi= 2.71 + 1.96Xi
3. The correlation coefficient between these two variables is r= 0.92, this means that there is a strong positive linear correlation between the beak heat loss and the outdoor temperature. This means that when the outdoor temperature rises, the beak heat loss increases.

Getting enough sleep. 400 students were randomly sampled from a large university, and 289 said they did not get enough sleep. Conduct a hypothesis test to check whether this represents a statistically signi cant di erence from 50%, and use a signi cance level of 0.01.
Answer:
Yes, Hypothesis test represents a statistically significant difference from 50% .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that 400 students were randomly sampled from a large university, and 289 said they did not get enough sleep.
Let Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : p = 0.50 {means from the students sampled from the university, proportion of them who did not get enough sleep is 50%}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_1[/tex] : p [tex]\neq[/tex] 0.50 {means from the students sampled from the university, proportion of them who did not get enough sleep is different from 50%}
The test statistics we will use here is;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion = 289/400 = 0.7225
n = sample of students = 400
So, test statistics = [tex]\frac{0.7225 - 0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.7225(1-0.7225)}{400} } }[/tex] = 3.143
Now, at 1% level of significance, z table gives critical value of 2.5758. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value which means test statistics will lie in the rejection region, so we have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis.
Therefore, we conclude that from the students sampled from the university, proportion of them who did not get enough sleep is different from 50%.
The question asks to perform a hypothesis test to determine if there is a significant difference between the proportion of university students who do not get enough sleep and the assumed 50%. The steps include stating hypotheses, calculating the test statistic, and comparing it with a critical value at a 0.01 significance level. A decision to reject or not reject the null hypothesis will be made based on this comparison.
Explanation:The student's question involves conducting a hypothesis test to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the proportion of university students who do not get enough sleep and the assumed proportion of 50%. To perform this test at the given significance level of 0.01, the following steps need to be taken:
First, the null hypothesis (H0) is that the true proportion of students who do not get enough sleep is 0.5 (50%), and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is that the true proportion is different from 0.5.Then, calculate the test statistic using the formula for a proportion hypothesis test: test statistic = (p-hat - p0)/sqrt(p0(1-p0)/n), where p-hat is the sample proportion and n is the sample size.The test statistic is compared to the critical value or p-value associated with the significance level of 0.01 to make a decision regarding the null hypothesis.For our example, with 289 out of 400 students not getting enough sleep, the sample proportion p-hat is 289/400 = 0.7225. Using the formula, the test statistic is then calculated and compared with the critical z-value for a 0.01 significance level. If the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the critical z-value, the null hypothesis is rejected, suggesting that there is a statistically significant difference from 50%.
If the test statistic does not exceed the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis, indicating that there is not enough evidence to suggest a significant deviation from 50%. Based on the results of the hypothesis test, conclusions about the sleep habits of university students can be drawn.

Explanation:
Sure, let's calculate the norms for each of the given vectors:
(a) For the vector (1, 1, 1):
- The Euclidean norm (also known as the L2 norm) is the square root of the sum of the squares of the components. For this vector, it's [tex]\(\sqrt{1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{3} \approx 1.732\)[/tex].
- The sum norm (or L1 norm) is the sum of the absolute values of the components. For this vector, it's |1| + |1| + |1| = 3.
- The max norm (also known as the infinity norm) is the maximum absolute value component of the vector. For this vector, it's [tex]\(\max(|1|, |1|, |1|) = 1\)[/tex].
(b) For the vector (3, 0, 0):
- The Euclidean norm of this vector is [tex]\(\sqrt{3^2 + 0^2 + 0^2} = \sqrt{9} = 3\)[/tex].
- The sum norm of this vector is |3| + |0| + |0| = 3.
- The max norm of this vector is max(|3|, |0|, |0|) = 3.
(c) For the vector (-1, 1, 4):
- The Euclidean norm of this vector is [tex]\(\sqrt{(-1)^2 + 1^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1 + 16} = \sqrt{18} \approx 4.243\)[/tex].
- The sum norm is (|-1| + |1| + |4| = 1 + 1 + 4 = 6).
- The max norm is max(|-1|, |1|, |4|) = 4.
(d) For the vector (-1, 4):
- The Euclidean norm is [tex]\(\sqrt{(-1)^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{1 + 16} = \sqrt{17} \approx 4.123\)[/tex].
- The sum norm is |-1| + |4| = 1 + 4 = 5.
- The max norm is max(|-1|, |4|) = 4.
(e) For the vector (4, 4, 4, 4):
- The Euclidean norm is [tex]\(\sqrt{4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{16 + 16 + 16 + 16} = \sqrt{64} = 8\)[/tex].
- The sum norm is |4| + |4| + |4| + |4| = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16.
- The max norm is max(|4|, |4|, |4|, |4|) = 4.
Now we have calculated the three types of norms for each of the vectors:

A professor, transferred from Toronto to New York, needs to sell his house in Toronto quickly. Someone has offered to buy his house for $220,000, but the offer expires at the end of the week. The professor does not currently have a better offer but can afford to leave the house on the market for another month. From conversations with his realtor, the professor believes the price he will get by leaving the house on the market for another month is uniformly distributed between $210,000 and $235,000.
(a) If he leaves the house on the market for another month, what is the probability that he will get at least $225,000 for the house?
(b) If he leaves it on the market for another month, what is the probability he will get less than $217,000?
(c) What is the expected value and standard deviation of the house price if it is left in the market?
Answer:
(a) = 40%
(b) = 28%
(c) Expected value = $222,500
Standard deviation = $7,216.88
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a normal distribution with a = 210,000 and b =235,000
(a) The probability that he will get at least $225,000 for the house is:
[tex]P(X\geq 225,000) =1 -\frac{225,000-a}{b-a} =1-\frac{225,000-210,000}{235,000-210,000} \\P(X\geq 225,000) =0.4= 40\%[/tex]
(b)The probability he will get less than $217,000 is:
[tex]P(X\leq 217,000) =\frac{217,000-a}{b-a} =\frac{217,000-210,000}{235,000-210,000} \\P(X\leq 217,000) =0.28= 28\%[/tex]
(c) The expected value (E) and the standard deviation (S) are:
[tex]E=\frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{210,000+235,000}{2}\\ E=\$222,500\\S=\frac{b-a}{\sqrt{12}}=\frac{235,000-210,000}{\sqrt{12}}\\S=\$7,216.88[/tex]
The probabilities of the house selling for at least $225,000 and less than $217,000 are 40% and 28% respectively. The expected selling price if left on the market is $222,500 and the standard deviation is around $7,211.1.
Explanation:This question is about the calculation of probabilities and expected values related to the selling price of a house. Let's solve this step by step:
We want to calculate the probability that the price of the house will be at least $225,000. The price range is uniformly distributed between $210,000 and $235,000. Therefore, to find the probability of the price being at least $225,000, we subtract the lower limit of this range ($225,000) from the upper limit ($235,000), and divide that by the entire possible price range ($235,000 - $210,000). That is $(235,000-225,000)/(235,000-210,000) = 0.4$ or 40%.
Next, to calculate the probability that the price of the house will be less than $217,000, we subtract the lower limit of the price range ($210,000) from our desired limit ($217,000), and divide that by the full price range ($235,000 - $210,000). That is $(217,000-210,000)/(235,000-210,000) = 0.28$ or 28%.
For part (c), the expected value of a uniform distribution is the midpoint of the range, or $(210,000 + 235,000)/2 = $222,500$. The standard deviation of a uniform distribution is the square root of ((upper limit - lower limit)^2/12), or sqrt[(235,000 - 210,000)^2/12] = $7,211.1$ approximately.

The probability of a randomly selected adult in one country being infected with a certain virus is 0.0050.005. In tests for the virus, blood samples from 2626 people are combined. What is the probability that the combined sample tests positive for the virus? Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? Note that the combined sample tests positive if at least one person has the virus.
Answer:
0.1222 or 12.22%
Yes, it is unlikely.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the probability of someone being infected is 0.005, then the probability of someone not being infected is 0.995. In order for the combined sample to test negative (N), all of the 26 people must test negative. Thus, the probability that the combined sample tests positive is:
[tex]P(Sample = P) = 1 -P(N=26)\\P(Sample = P) = 1 -0.995^{26}\\P(Sample = P) = 0.1222=12.22\%[/tex]
There is a 0.1222 or 12.22% probability that the combined sample tests positive, which is unlikely to occur.
A baseball team has 4 pitchers, who only pitch, and 16 other players, all of whom can play any position other than pitcher. For Saturday's game, the coach has not yet determined which 9 players to use nor what the batting order will be, except that the pitcher will bat last. How many different batting orders may occur?
Answer:
2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.
Step-by-step explanation:
The order of the first eight batters in the batting order is important. For example, if we exchange Jonathan Schoop with Adam Jones in the lineup, that is a different lineup. So we use the permutations formula to solve this problem.
Permutations formula:
The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:
[tex]P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}[/tex]
First 8 batters
8 players from a set of 16. So
[tex]P_{(16,8)} = \frac{16!}{(16 - 8)!} = 518918400[/tex]
Last batter:
Any of the four pitchers.
How many different batting orders may occur?
4*518918400 = 2,075,673,600
2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.
Final answer:
20,922,789,888,000 different ways.
Explanation:
To find out the number of different batting orders that may occur with the given constraints, we consider that there are 16 players who can play any position other than pitcher, and since the pitcher bats last, we only need to determine the batting order for the first 8 positions which any of the 16 players can fill. Since the order matters, we use permutations to calculate the number of ways to arrange these players. After the 8 positions are filled, the pitcher is automatically assigned the last batting slot.
The formula for permutations is:
P(n, k) = n! / (n-k)!,
where n is the total number of items to choose from, k is the number of items to arrange, and '!' denotes factorial which is the product of an integer and all the integers below it.
Therefore, the number of different batting orders is P(16, 8) which equals:
16! / (16-8)! = 16! / 8! = 20,922,789,888,000 possible ways.
This includes 1 of the 4 pitchers, who will be the last to bat in each permutation.
Consider a production process that produces batteries. A quality engineer has taken 20 samples each containing 100 batteries. The total number of defective batteries observed over the 20 samples is 200.
Construct a 95% confidence interval of the proportion of defectives.
Another sample of 100 was taken and 15 defectives batteries were found. What is your conclusion?
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of defective batteries is (0.0966, 0.1034).
It is better to take a larger sample to derive conclusion about the true parameter value.
Step-by-step explanation:
The (1 - α) % confidence interval for proportion is:
[tex]CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
Given:
n = 2000
X = 200
The sample proportion is:
[tex]\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{200}{2000}=0.10[/tex]
The critical value of z for 95% confidence interval is:
[tex]z_{\alpha /2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96[/tex]
Compute the 95% confidence interval as follows:
[tex]CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.10\pm1.96\times\sqrt{\frac{0.10(1-0.10)}{2000}}\\=0.10\pm0.0034\\=(0.0966, 0.1034)[/tex]
Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of defective batteries is (0.0966, 0.1034).
Now if in a sample of 100 batteries there are 15 defectives, the the 95% confidence interval for this sample is:
[tex]CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.15\pm1.96\times\sqrt{\frac{0.15(1-0.15)}{100}}\\=0.15\pm0.0706\\=(0.0794, 0.2206)[/tex]
It can be observed that as the sample size was decreased the width of the confidence interval was increased.
Thus, it can be concluded that it is better to take a larger sample to derive conclusion about the true parameter value.
(1 point) Find the length L and width W (with W≤L) of the rectangle with perimeter 100 that has maximum area, and then find the maximum area.
Answer:
Width = 25
Length = 25
Area = 625
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the sum of its four sides (2L+2W) while the area is given by the product of the its length by its width (LW). It is possible to write the area as a function of width as follows:
[tex]100 = 2L+2W\\L = 50-W\\A=LW=W*(50-W)\\A=50W - W^2[/tex]
The value of W for which the derivate of the area function is zero is the width that yields the maximum area:
[tex]A=50W - W^2\\\frac{dA}{dW}=0=50 - 2W\\ W=25[/tex]
With the value of the width, the length (L) and the area (A) can be also be found:
[tex]L=50-25 = 25\\A=W*L=25*25\\A=625[/tex]
Since the values satisfy the condition W≤L, the answer is:
Width = 25
Length = 25
Area = 625
The time spent waiting in the line is approximately normally distributed. The mean waiting time is 6 minutes and the variance of the waiting time is 4.
Find the probability that a person will wait for more than 7 minutes. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer:
0.3075 = 30.75% probability that a person will wait for more than 7 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
In this problem, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 6, \sigma = \sqrt{4} = 2[/tex]
Find the probability that a person will wait for more than 7 minutes.
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{7 - 6}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.6915
1 - 0.6915 = 0.3075
0.3075 = 30.75% probability that a person will wait for more than 7 minutes.
The probability that a person will wait for more than 7 minutes is 30.85%.
What is z score?Z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:
z = (raw score - mean) / standard deviation
Given; mean of 6 minutes and variance = 4 minutes, hence:
Standard deviation = √variance = √4 = 2 minutes
For > 7 minutes:
z = (7 - 6)/2 = 0.5
P(z > 0.5) = 1 - P(z < 0.5) = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085
The probability that a person will wait for more than 7 minutes is 30.85%.

An aspiring venture capitalist is interested in studying early-stage companies. She claims that the proportion of new businesses that earn a profit within the first two years of operation is more than 18%. If the venture capitalist chooses a 10% significance level, what is/are the critical value(s) for the hypothesis test
Answer:
The critical value is 6.314
Step-by-step explanation:
Null hypothesis: The proportion of businesses that earn a profit within the first two years of operation is 80%
Alternate hypothesis: The proportion of businesses e earn a profit within the first two years of operation is greater than 18%
The hypothesis test has one critical value because it is a one-tailed test. It is a one-tailed test because the alternate hypothesis is expressed using the inequality, greater than.
n = 2
degree of freedom = n - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1
significance level = 10%
Using the t-distribution table, critical value corresponding to 1 degree of freedom and 10% significance level is 6.314.
Answer:
To determine the critical value or values for a one-proportion z-test at the 10% significance level when the hypothesis test is left- or right-tailed, we must use the look-up table for zz0.01. Since this is a right-tailed test, our critical value is positive 1.282.

A commuter has to cross a train track each day on the way to work. The probability of having to wait for a train is .2. If she has to wait for a train, her commute takes 25 minutes; otherwise, it takes 20 minutes. What is her expected commute time?
Answer:
21 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Her expected commute time is given by the probability of having to wait for the train (0.2) multiplied by the commute time in this scenario (25 min), added to the probability of not having to wait for the train (1 - 0.2) multiplied by the commute time in this scenario (20 min). The expected commute time is:
[tex]E(X) = 0.2*25+(1-0.2)*20\\E(X) = 21\ minutes[/tex]
Her expected commute time is 21 minutes.
Find the magnitude of the torque exerted by F on the bolt at P if |vector PQ| = 6 in. and |F| = 16 lb.
Final answer:
To calculate the magnitude of the torque exerted on a bolt, use the formula τ = rFsinθ with the given values: lever arm length of 6 inches, force of 16 lbs, and an assumed angle of 90 degrees. The calculated torque is 96 in.lb
Explanation:
The magnitude of torque (τ) can be calculated using the formula τ = rFsinθ, where r is the distance from the pivot to the point where the force is applied, F is the force applied, and θ is the angle between the force and the arm of the lever—in this case, assuming the force is perpendicular (90 degrees) to the lever arm for maximum torque.
Given that |vector PQ| = 6 in. as the lever arm (r) and |F| = 16 lb. as the force applied, and assuming the angle θ is 90 degrees (since it's not provided but necessary for calculating maximum torque):
τ = rFsinθ = (6 in.)(16 lb.)(sin90°) = 96 in.lb. because sin90° = 1.
Therefore, the magnitude of the torque exerted by the force on the bolt at point P is 96 in.lb.
The states of Ohio, Iowa, and Idaho are often confused, probably because the names sound so similar. Each year, the State Tourism Directors of these three states drive to a meeting in one of the state capitals to discuss strategies for attracting tourists to their states so that the states will become better known. The location of the meeting is selected at random from the three state capitals. The shortest highway distance from Boise, Idaho to Columbus, Ohio passes through Des Moines, Iowa. The highway distance from Boise to Des Moines is 1350 miles, and the distance from Des Moines to Columbus is 650 miles. Let d1 represent the driving distance from Columbus to the meeting, with d2 and d3 representing the distances from Des Moines and Boise, respectively
a. Find the probability distribution of d1 and display it in a table.
b. What is the expected value of d1?
c. What is the value of the standard deviation of d1?

e. Define a new random variable t = d1 + d2. Find the probability distribution of t.
Answer:
The driving distance for meeting at the three centres can be written as
d1=columbus
d2=Des moines
d3=Boise
The distance from des moines to columbus to 650 miles
from Boise to des moines is 1350
Therefore the distance from columbus to Boise
if the meeting is holding at columbus
0+650+1350=2000
Pr(columbus)=1/3
Pr(Des moines)=1/3
Pr(Boise)=1/3
a. Probability distribution is
capital c DM B

E(x)=0*1/3=0
c. find the variance of d1 first
Var=(x-E(x))^2*Pr(d1)
Var=(0-0)^2*1/3
Var=0
the square root of var=standard deviation
S.D=0
d. probability distribution of d2 and d3 is equal to the probability distribution of d1 , because they all have a probability of 1/3(the likelihood that an event will occur is 1/3 for the meeting \location
e. d1=0
d2=650
d1+d2=650
pr(d1+d2)=1/3+1/3=2/3
Pr(d1+d2) will be on the vertical axis, while d1+d2 will be plotted on the horizontal axis of the probability distribution graph

uppose that a car weighing 4000 pounds is supported by four shock adsorbers, each with a spring constant of 540 lbs/inch. Assume no damping and determine the period of oscillation TT of the vertical motion of the car.
Answer:
0.435 s
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of car=m=4000 pounds
Spring constant for each shock absorber=k=540lbs/in
Effective spring constant=4k=4(540)=2160 lbs/in
We have to find the period of oscillation of the vertical motion by assuming no damping.
Time period, T=[tex]2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{w}{gk}[/tex]
Where g=[tex]386 in/s^2[/tex]
[tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]
Using the formula
[tex]T=2\times 3.14\sqrt{\frac{4000}{386\times 2160}}=0.435 s[/tex]
Hence,the period of oscillation of the vertical motion of the car=0.435 s

Answer:
[tex]\sigma^2=73.96 \ kg^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard Deviation and Variance
If we have a data set of measured values the variance is defined as the average of the squared differences that each value has from the mean. The formula to calculate the variance is:
[tex]\displaystyle \sigma^2=\frac{\sum(x_i-\mu)^2}{n}[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean of the measured values xi (i running from 1 to n), and n is the total number of values.
[tex]\displaystyle \mu=\frac{\sum x_i}{n}[/tex]
The standard deviation is known by the symbol [tex]\sigma[/tex] and is the square root of the variance. We know the standar deviation of the weight in kg of a group of teenagers to be 8.6 kg. Thus, the variance is
[tex]\sigma^2=8.6^2=73.96 \ kg^2[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\sigma^2=73.96 \ kg^2}[/tex]
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) collects data regarding occupational employment and wage estimates in the United States.

The true statements are:
a. The median annual wage estimate was $85,000 per year for these 15 architecture and engineering occupations.c. The shape of the distribution is skewed to the right.e. The annual wage of $108,000 was the largest wage estimate for architecture and engineering occupations in May 2014.Let's analyze each statement based on the provided stem-and-leaf plot:
Given stem-and-leaf plot:
Stem | Leaf
0 | 0 1 4 5 5 8
1 | 0 0 4 5 8
a. The median annual wage estimate was $85,000 per year for these 15 architecture and engineering occupations.
The median is the middle value when the data is arranged in ascending order.
The middle value is the 8th value, which is 85 (thousands of dollars).
This statement is true.
b. The modal class is 100 to 110 thousand dollars, with five occupations having salaries in that class.
The modal class is the class with the highest frequency.
In this case, the class 100 to 110 thousand dollars has three frequencies. This statement is false.
c. The shape of the distribution is skewed to the right.
Skewed to the right means that the distribution's tail is on the right side. Looking at the stem-and-leaf plot, we can see that the data has more values on the left side and tails off to the right.
This statement is true.
d. The modal annual wage estimate was $92,000 per year for these 15 architecture and engineering occupations.
The mode is the most frequently occurring value.
The mode in this data set is not explicitly shown, but we can see that there is no class with a significantly higher frequency.
This statement is false.
e. The annual wage of $108,000 was the largest wage estimate for architecture and engineering occupations in May 2014.
The largest value in the data set is 108 (thousands of dollars), which corresponds to an annual wage of $108,000.
This statement is true.
So, the true statements are:
a. The median annual wage estimate was $85,000 per year for these 15 architecture and engineering occupations.
c. The shape of the distribution is skewed to the right.
e. The annual wage of $108,000 was the largest wage estimate for architecture and engineering occupations in May 2014.

Without the visual plot, it's impossible to confirm any statements with certainty. However, a theoretical ordering of the given data suggests that the median annual wage isn't $85,000 but closer to $84,000, the claimed modal class has fewer than five salaries, and the shape does seem to be skewed right. The highest wage seems to be $158,000 not $108,000.
Explanation:This question involves understanding and interpreting a stem-and-leaf plot. Unfortunately, without being able to view the plot, it's impossible to conclusively confirm any of the statements provided.
However, we can do a generalized analysis based on the given data. Typically, a stem-and-leaf plot represents numerical data in an order, which makes it easier to see certain statistics like median, mode and range, and also the distribution shape. If the statement that the stem represents 'tens' and leaf represents 'ones' is true, then the data arranged in ascending order would be: 50, 57, 60, 75, 75, 80, 84, 85, 100, 101, 104, 105, 108, 145, 158 (all in thousands).
From these, it's clear: a) The median annual wage is not $85,000, it's actually $84,000. b) There aren't five salaries in the 100-110k range, there are only four. So the modal class isn't $100,000 to $110,000. c) The distribution appears to be skewed to the right, given that higher wages are less common. d) The modal wage estimate is unclear without knowing how many times each wage appears in the original data. e) The highest wage is $158,000 (not $108,00), assuming that the stem-and-leaf plot does not have repeating values.

A rabbit population doubles every 6 weeks. There are currently 9 rabbits in a restricted area. If represents the time, in weeks, and () is the population of rabbits, about how many rabbits will there be in 112 days? Round to the nearest whole number.
The rabbit population doubles every 6 weeks. After converting 112 days to 16 weeks, we calculate the growth over 2.67 six-week periods to find that there will be approximately 61 rabbits after 112 days.
Explanation:The rabbits population grows exponentially and doubles every 6 weeks. To determine the population after a certain time, we would typically use a formula like P(t) = P0 (2^(t/T)), where P(t) is the population at time t, P0 is the initial population, 2 represents the doubling factor, and T is the time period for doubling in the same units as t. However, we need to convert days to weeks since the doubling time is given in weeks. There are 7 days in a week, so 112 days is equal to 112/7 = 16 weeks.
Following this, we calculate the number of periods in 16 weeks by dividing 16 weeks by 6 (the number of weeks it takes for the population to double). This gives us 16/6 = approximately 2.67. The population after 16 weeks would be P(16) = 9 (2^(2.67)). Simplifying with a calculator, we find the population to be about 61 rabbits, rounding to the nearest whole number.
Two computer specialists are completing work orders. The first specialist receives 60% of all orders. Each order takes her Exponential amount of time with parameter λ1 = 3 hrs−1. The second specialist receives the remaining 40% of orders. Each order takes him Exponential amount of time with parameter λ2 = 2 hrs−1. A certain order was submitted 30 minutes ago, and it is still not ready. What is the probability that the first specialist is working on it?
Answer:
0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
Let W be the event the order is not ready in 30 mins.
Then, let A be the event the first worker got the order. So, we want the probability, P(A/W). Using formula for conditional probability gives:
[tex]P (A/W) = \frac{P(AnW)}{P(W)}[/tex]
In this case, we need to calculate a couple of probabilities.
The event that W can happen can be like this:
1. the first worker got the order
2. the second worker got the order and it is not ready.
the probability for both events are disjoint, so:
for item (1) the probability will be 0.6 times the probability that the first worker takes 30 mins to do the job.
Calculating:
The probability that an exponential with parameter is 2 is given by:
[tex]P = \frac{1}{2}e^-{\frac{2}2} }[/tex]
so, the probability is [tex]0.6e^{-1}[/tex]
thus, the probability is > t is [tex]e^{-\lambda t }[/tex]
That's the same as 0.6
The probability that the first specialist is working on it is 0.4764.
How to calculate the probability?
P(not ready in 30 minutes(0.5 hrs) will be:
=P(specialist 1) × P(not ready in 30 minutes |specialist 1) + P(specialist 2) × P(not ready in 30 minutes specialist 2)
= 0.6 × (e-0.5*3) + 0.4 × (e-0.5*2)
= 0.6 × 0.2231 + 0.4 × 0.3679
= 0.2810
Therefore P(first specialist given not ready in 30 minutes(0.5 hrs))
=P(specialist 1) × P(not ready in 30 minutes |specialist 1)/P(not ready in 30 minutes(0.5 hrs))
=0.6 × (e-0.5*3)/0.2810
=0.6 × 0.2231/0.2810
= 0.4764

The US Census lists the population of the United States as 249 million in 1990, 281 million in 2000, and 309 million in 2010. Fit a second-degree polynomial P(t)=a_{2}t^{2}+a_{1}t+a_{0} passing through these points, where t represents years after 1990 (so t=0 corresponds to 1990) and P(t) represents population in millions (so P(0)=249). Sketch the parabola,P(t). Use the model to predict the population in the years 2020 and 2030. (Source: US Census Bureau). You may use technology to solve the system of 3 equations and 3 unknowns used to find your coefficients/constants for your model. The setup of your 3x3 linear system must be shown.
Answer: US predicted population in 2020 and 2030 will be 333 million and 353 million, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Three different points are required to determine the coefficients of correspondent second-order polynomial. Three linear equations are form after substituting the variables associated with those points. [tex]t^{*}[/tex] is the year and [tex]p[/tex] is the population according to US census, measured in millions. That is to say:
[tex]a_{2}\cdot 1990^{2} + a_{1}\cdot 1990 + a_{0} = 249\\a_{2}\cdot 2000^{2} + a_{1}\cdot 2000 + a_{0} = 281\\a_{2}\cdot 2010^{2} + a_{1}\cdot 2010 + a_{0} = 309[/tex]
There are different approaches to solve linear equation systems. In this problem, a matrix-based approach will be used and a solver will be applied in order to minimize the effort and time required to make the need operations. The solution of the 3 x 3 linear system is shown as following:
[tex]a_{2} = -\frac{1}{50},a_{1}=83,a_o=-85719[/tex]
Now, the second-order polynomial is:
[tex]p(t)=-\frac{1}{50}\cdot (t+1990)^{2}+83\cdot(t+1990)-85719[/tex], where [tex]p(t) = 249[/tex] when [tex]t=0[/tex].
The predicted populations are:
[tex]p(30) = 333, p(40) = 353[/tex]
US predicted population in 2020 and 2030 will be 333 million and 353 million, respectively.
