One of Shakespeare's sonnets has a verb in 11 of its 18 lines, an adjective in 13 lines, and both in 8 lines. How many lines have a verb but no adjective?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of lines, n(U) = 18
Let the number of lins with verb be n(V) = 11
Let the number of lines with adjectives be n(A) = 13
n(V n A) = 8
Find the number of lines that have a verb but no adjective, that is, n(V n A')
Mathematically, according to sets theory,
n(V) = n(V n A) + n(V n A')
So,
n(V n A') = n(V) - n(V n A) = 11 - 8 = 3.
Hence, only 3 lines have a verb but no adjectives.
You play two games against the same opponent. The probability you win the first game is 0.7. If you win the first game, the probability you also win the second is 0.5. If you lose the first game, the probability that you win the second is 0.3.(a) Are the two games independent?(b) What's the probability you lose both games?
Answer:
(a) No
(b) 0.21 or 21%
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Since the outcome of the first game influences in the probability of winning the second game, the two games are not independent.
(b) The probability of losing both games is given by the product of the probability of losing the first game and the probability of losing the second game given that you have lost the first:
[tex]P = (1-0.7)*(1-0.3)\\P=0.21=21\%[/tex]
The probability you lose both games is 21%
Given Information:
Probability of wining 1st game = p₁ = 0.7
Probability of wining 2nd game given 1st game won = p₂|p₁ = 0.5
Probability of wining 2nd game given 1st game lost = p₂|q₁ = 0.3
Required Information:
(a) Are the two games independent = ?
(b) Probability of losing both games = ?
Answer:
(a) Are the two games independent = No
(b) Probability of losing both games = 0.21
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Independent Events:
Two events are said to be independent when the success of one event is not affected by the success or failure of another event.
In this case, the probability of 2nd game depends on the success or failure of the 1st game, therefore, the two games are not independent.
(b) Probability of losing both games
The probability of losing the both games is the product of the probabilities of losing each game.
Probability of losing 1st game = 1 - Probability of wining 1st game
Probability of losing 1st game = 1 - 0.7 = 0.30
Probability of losing 2nd game = 1 - Probability of wining 2nd game given 1st game lost
Probability of losing 2nd game = 1 - 0.3 = 0.70
Please note that since we are finding the probability of losing both games that's why we used the condition of 1st game lost
Probability of losing both games = Probability of losing 1st game*Probability of losing 2nd game
Probability of losing both games = 0.30*0.70
Probability of losing both games = 0.21
You bike
5
miles the first day of your training,
5.4 miles the second day,
6.2 miles the third day, and
7.8 miles the fourth day. If you continue this pattern, how many miles do you bike the seventh day?
You will bike 30.2 miles in the seventh day according to the prediction.
Explanation:Here we have the following data, You bike
5 miles the first day of your training, 5.4 miles the second day, 6.2 miles the third day, and 7.8 miles the fourth day.So we can know some facts:
From the first day to the second day the number of miles increases:[tex]5.4-5=0.4mi[/tex]
From the second day to the third day the number of miles increases:[tex]6.2-5.4=0.8mi[/tex]
From the third day to the fourth day the number of miles increases:[tex]7.8-6.2=1.6mi[/tex]
By taking a look at the pattern, we can see that each day you increases the number of miles by a factor of 2 compared to the previous day. So:
From the fourth day to the fifth day the number of miles increases:[tex]x_{5}-7.8=3.2mi \\ \\ x_{5}=7.8+3.2=11mi, \ \text{Day 5}[/tex]
From the fifth day to the sixth day the number of miles increases:[tex]x_{6}-11=6.4mi \\ \\ x_{6}=6.4+11=17.4mi, \ \text{Day 6}[/tex]
Finally:
From the sixth day to the seventh day the number of miles increases:[tex]x_{7}-17.4=12.8mi \\ \\ x_{7}=12.8+17.4=30.2mi, \ \text{Day 7}[/tex]
By noting the pattern that the daily increase doubles each time, we can predict that the total distance biked on the seventh day would be 30.2 miles.
Explanation:To predict the number of miles biked on the seventh day, we need to first determine the pattern in the increase of biking distances over the days given. The distances biked in the consecutive days are: 5, 5.4, 6.2, and 7.8 miles. We can see that each day, the distance increases at varying amounts:
From day 1 to 2: 5.4 - 5 = 0.4 milesFrom day 2 to 3: 6.2 - 5.4 = 0.8 milesFrom day 3 to 4: 7.8 - 6.2 = 1.6 milesThe increase pattern appears to be that each day the distance increases by double the amount of the previous day. Therefore, we can predict the increase and the total distance for the next days:
From day 4 to 5: 1.6 * 2 = 3.2 miles increase, Total = 7.8 + 3.2 = 11 milesFrom day 5 to 6: 3.2 * 2 = 6.4 miles increase, Total = 11 + 6.4 = 17.4 milesFrom day 6 to 7: 6.4 * 2 = 12.8 miles increase, Total = 17.4 + 12.8 = 30.2 milesIf the pattern continues, the student would bike 30.2 miles on the seventh day.

Find the probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major.The probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major is___. (Round to 3 decimal places)
Answer:
The probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major is 0.575.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
Desired outcomes:
Students that are female or physics majors.
17 female
10 physics majors, of which 4 are female.
This means that there are 10 total physics majors and 17-4 = 13 non physics majors female. So
[tex]D = 13 + 10 = 23[/tex]
Total outcomes:
The class has 40 students, so [tex]T = 40[/tex]
Probability
[tex]P = \frac{23}{40} = 0.575[/tex]
The probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major is 0.575.

(c) Compute P(6 ≤ X ≤ 10).
(d) Compute μ and σ2.
Answer:
a)
[tex] P(X=k) = {15 \choose k} * 0.75^{k}*0.25^{15-k} [/tex]
For any integer k between 0 and 15, and 0 for other values of k.
b)
[tex]P(X>10) = 0.2252+ 0.2252+ 0.1559+0.0668+0.0134 = 0.6865[/tex]

d) μ = 15*0.75 = 11.25. σ² = 11.25*0.25 = 2.8125
Step-by-step explanation:
X is a binomial random variable with parameters n = 15, p = 0.75. Therefore
a)
[tex] P(X=k) = {15 \choose k} * 0.75^{k}*0.25^{15-k} [/tex]
For any integer k between 0 and 15, and 0 for other values of k.
b)
P(X>10) = P(X=11) + P(X=12)+ P(X=13)+P(X=14)+P(x=15)
[tex]P(X=11) = {15 \choose 11} * 0.75^{11} * 0.25^4 = 0.2252[/tex]
[tex]P(X=12) = {15 \choose 12} * 0.75^{12} * 0.25^3 = 0.2252[/tex]
[tex]P(X=13) = {15 \choose 13} * 0.75^{13} * 0.25^2 = 0.1559[/tex]
[tex]P(X=14) = {15 \choose 14} * 0.75^{14} * 0.25 = 0.0668[/tex]
[tex]P(X=15) = {15 \choose 15} * 0.75^{15} = 0.0134[/tex]
Thus,
[tex]P(X>10) = 0.2252+ 0.2252+ 0.1559+0.0668+0.0134 = 0.6865[/tex]
c) P(6 ≤ X ≤ 10) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X=9) + P(X=10)
[tex]P(X=6) = {15 \choose 6} * 0.75^{6} * 0.25^9 = 0.0034[/tex]
[tex]P(X=7) = {15 \choose 7} * 0.75^{7} * 0.25^8 = 0.0131[/tex]
[tex]P(X=8) = {15 \choose 8} * 0.75^{8} * 0.25^7 = 0.0393[/tex]
[tex]P(X=9) = {15 \choose 9} * 0.75^{9} * 0.25^6 = 0.0918[/tex]
[tex]P(X=10) = {15 \choose 10} * 0.75^{10} * 0.25^{5} = 0.1652[/tex]
Thereofre,
[tex]P(6 \leq X \leq 10) = 0.0034 + 0.0134 + 0.0393 + 0.0918 + 0.1652 = 0.2737[/tex]

Shari buys a house for $240,000. She makes a down payment of 20% and finances the rest with a 15 year mortgage. She agrees to make equal payments at the end of each month. If the annual interest rate is 1.2% and interest is compounded monthly, what is Shari's regular payment? To solve this question, we use the formula P equals R open parentheses fraction numerator 1 minus (1 plus i )to the power of negative n end exponent over denominator i end fraction close parentheses. Fill in the following blanks for the given information:
Answer:
$1166.08 is the monthly payment for the mortgage per month.
Step-by-step explanation:
The meaning of this stated formula on the statement is the present annuity formula because we will have future monthly payments on the mortgage of the house in which they pay off the present value of the house which is $240000 x 80% = $ 192000 as this amount will excludes the down payment of 20% that is made.
We are given Pv the present value which excludes the down payment $192000.
We have the interest rate i which is 1.2%/12 as it is compounded monthly.
n is the number of payments made over a period which is 12 x 15 years= 180 payments as it is compounded monthly.
no we substitute the above mentioned information to the present value annuity formula stated to calculate R the monthly payment:
Pv = R[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i]
$192000 = R[(1-(1+(1.2%/12))^-180)/ (1.2%/12)] divide both sides by the coefficient of R
$192000/[(1-(1+(1.2%/12))^-180)/(1.2%/12)] = R
$1166.08 =R which this is the amount that will be paid for the mortgage every month for 15 years.

Each item produced by a certain manufacturer is independently of acceptable quality with probability 0.95. Approximate the probability that at most 10 of the next 150 items produced are unacceptable.
Answer:
The probability that at most 10 of the next 150 items produced are unacceptable is 0.8315.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X = number of items with unacceptable quality.
The probability of an item being unacceptable is, P (X) = p = 0.05.
The sample of items selected is of size, n = 150.
The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 150 and p = 0.05.
According to the Central limit theorem, if a sample of large size (n > 30) is selected from an unknown population then the sampling distribution of sample mean can be approximated by the Normal distribution.
The mean of this sampling distribution is: [tex]\mu_{\hat p}= p=0.05[/tex]
The standard deviation of this sampling distribution is: [tex]\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{ p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-.0.05)}{150} }=0.0178[/tex]
If 10 of the 150 items produced are unacceptable then the probability of this event is:
[tex]\hat p=\frac{10}{150}=0.067[/tex]
Compute the value of [tex]P(\hat p\leq 0.067)[/tex] as follows:
[tex]P(\hat p\leq 0.067)=P(\frac{\hat p-\mu_{p}}{\sigma_{p}} \leq\frac{0.067-0.05}{0.0178})=P(Z\leq 0.96)=0.8315[/tex]
*Use a z-table for the probability.
Thus, the probability that at most 10 of the next 150 items produced are unacceptable is 0.8315.
Final answer:
Using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution, the probability that at most 10 of the next 150 items produced are unacceptable is approximately 86.43%.
Explanation:
Approximating the Probability of Defective Items:
To approximate the probability that at most 10 of the next 150 items produced are unacceptable when each item is of acceptable quality independently with probability 0.95, we use the binomial probability formula or normal approximation. However, since the number of trials is large (n = 150), we can use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to simplify the calculation.
First, we find the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of the binomial distribution:
Mean μ = n * p = 150 * 0.05 = 7.5Standard Deviation σ = sqrt(n * p * (1 - p)) = sqrt(150 * 0.05 * 0.95) ≈ 2.72Next, we convert the binomial problem to a normal distribution problem by finding the z-score for 10.5 (since we are looking for "at most" 10, we use 10 + 0.5 for continuity correction).
The z-score is calculated as follows:
Z = (x - μ) / σ = (10.5 - 7.5) / 2.72 ≈ 1.10Finally, we look up the z-score in a standard normal distribution table, or use a calculator to find the cumulative probability for Z ≤ 1.10, which is approximately 0.8643. Therefore, the probability that at most 10 of the next 150 items are unacceptable is roughly 86.43%.
The College Board originally scaled SAT scores so that the scores for each section were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. Assuming scores follow a bell-shaped distribution, use the empirical rule to find the percentage of students who scored greater than 700.
Answer:
Percentage of students who scored greater than 700 = 97.72%
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the College Board originally scaled SAT scores so that the scores for each section were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100.
Let X = percentage of students who scored greater than 700.
Since, X ~ N([tex]\mu, \sigma^{2}[/tex])
The z probability is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] ~ N(0,1) where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = 500 and [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 100
So, P(percentage of students who scored greater than 700) = P(X > 700)
P(X > 700) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{700-500}{100}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 2) = 0.97725 or 97.72% Therefore, percentage of students who scored greater than 700 is 97.72%.
There was a special on sweatshirts is sweatshirt was on sale for $9.69 if a customer bought three striped shirt at the regular price of $12.95 a fourth sweatshirt was free which is the better buy for sweatshirts at 9.69 each or three sweatshirts at $12.95 in a fourth one free?
Answer: it is cheaper to buy for sweatshirts at $9.69 each.
Step-by-step explanation:
The regular price for one sweatshirt is $12.95. if a customer bought three shirts at the regular price of $12.95, a fourth sweatshirt was free
It means that the cost of buying 4 shirts is
12.95 × 3 = $38.85
Due to a special, the price of one sweatshirt was $9.69. It means that the cost of buying 4 shirts at this price is
9.69 × 4 = $38.76
Therefore, it is cheaper to buy for sweatshirts at $9.69 each than to buy at $12.95 each and get a free shirt
Answer: it is cheaper to buy for sweatshirts at $9.69 each.
Because elderly people may have difficulty standing to have their height measured, a study looked at the relationship between overall height and height to the knee. Here are data (in centimeters) for five elderly men:
col1 Knee Height x 56 44 41 44 55
col2 Height y 190 150 145 165 172
What is the equation of the least-squares regression line for predicting height from knee height?
The equation for the least-squares regression line can be found by calculating the slope and y-intercept using the given data on knee height and overall height. The regression line is used for predicting the height from knee height.
Explanation:To find the equation of the least-squares regression line, you first need to calculate the slope (b1) and y-intercept (b0) using the given data. The least-squares regression line is essentially a line of best fit that minimizes the sum of the squared residuals.
The formula for the slope (b1) of the regression line is: b1 = (∑xy - n * mean_x * mean_y) / (∑x^2 - n * mean_x^2) And the y-intercept (b0) is calculated as: b0 = mean_y - b1 * mean_x
Following these formulas and plugging in the given data (for knee height x and height y), we can find b1 and b0. Once we've done that, we can write the equation for the least-squares regression line in the form y = b0 + b1*x.

The least-squares regression line equation is estimated by determining the slope (b1) and y-intercept (b0) of the line. These values are calculated from the given data sets for height and knee height using the formulas: b1 = [N(Σxy) - (Σx)(Σy)] / [N(Σx²) - (Σx)²] and b0 = (Σy - b1(Σx)) / N
Explanation:The subject matter of this question is statistics, specifically, it's about finding the equation of a least-squares regression line. The least-squares regression line is a tool used in statistics to show the best possible mathematical relationship between two variables. In this case, the variables are height and knee height.
To calculate the least-squares regression line, we need to calculate the slope (b1) and y-intercept (b0) of the line. The formulas to calculate these are:
b1 = [N(Σxy) - (Σx)(Σy)] / [N(Σx²) - (Σx)²]b0 = (Σy - b1(Σx)) / N
Where:
N = number of observations (5 in this case)
Σxy = sum of the product of x and y
Σx = sum of x
Σy = sum of y
Σx² = sum of squares of x
After calculating the values for b0 and b1, the equation for the least-squares regression line would be: y = b0 + b1*x. You would need to calculate these values using the provided datasets for height (x) and knee height (y).

A. Create a set of 5 points that are very close together and record the standard deviation. Next, add a sixth point that is far away from the original 5 and record the new standard deviation. What is the impact of the new point on the standard deviation?
Answer: The addition of the new point alters the previous standard deviation greatly
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial five points be : 2 3 4 5 and 6. In order to calculate the standard deviation for this data, we will need to calculate the mean first.
Mean = summation of scores/number of scores.
The mean is therefore: (2+3+4+5+6)/5 = 20/5 = 4.
We'll also need the sum of the squares of the deviations of the mean from all the scores.
Since mean = 4, deviation of the mean from the score "2" = score(2) - mean (4)
For score 3, it is -1
For 4, it's 0
For 5 it's 1
For 6 it's 2.
The squares for -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 respectively will be 4, 1 , 0, 1, 4. Summing them up we have 10 i.e (4+1+0+1+4=10).
Calculating the standard deviation, we apply the formula:
√(summation of (x - deviation of mean)^2)/N
Where N means the number of scores.
The standard deviation = √(10/5) = 1.4142
If we add another score or point that is far away from the original points, say 40, what happens to the standard deviation. Let's calculate to find out.
i.e we now have scores: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 40
We calculate by undergoing same steps.
Firstly mean. The new mean = (2+3+4+5+6+40)/6 = 60/6 = 10.
The mean deviations for the scores : 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 40 are -8, -7, -6, -5, -4 and 30 respectively. The squares of these deviations are also 64, 49, 36, 25, 16 and 900 respectively as well. Their sum will then be 1090. i.e. (64+49+36+25+16+900 = 1090).
The new standard deviation is then=
√(1090/6)
= √181.67
= 13.478.
It's clear that the addition of a point that's far away from the original points greatly alters the size of the standard deviation as seen /witnessed in this particular instance where the standard deviation rises from 1.412 to 13.478
If np greater than or equals 5 and nq greater than or equals 5, estimate Upper P (fewer than 3 )with nequals13 and pequals0.4 by using the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution; if npless than5 or nqless than5, then state that the normal approximation is not suitable.
Answer:
We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.
[tex]np=13*0.4=5.2 \geq 5[/tex]
[tex]n(1-p)=13*(1-0.4)=7.8 \geq 5[/tex]
Assuming that each trial is independent and we have a sample obtained from a random sampling method.
Then we can conclude that we can use the normal approximation since all the conditions are satisfied.
Step-by-step explanation:
The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".
Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:
[tex]X \sim Binom(n=13, p=0.4)[/tex]
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]
We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.
[tex]np=13*0.4=5.2 \geq 5[/tex]
[tex]n(1-p)=13*(1-0.4)=7.8 \geq 5[/tex]
Assuming that each trial is independent and we have a sample obtained from a random sampling method.
Then we can conclude that we can use the normal approximation since all the conditions are satisfied.

A woman who has recovered from a serious illness begins a diet regimen designed to get her back to a healthy weight. She currently weighs 103 pounds. She hopes each week to multiply her weight by 1.08 each week. (a) Find a formula for an exponential function that gives the woman's weight w, in pounds, after t weeks on the regimen. (b) How long will it be before she reaches her normal weight of 135 pounds?
Answer:
a.) w = 103 * 1.08^t
b.) 3.5weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
If Her current weight is 103 pounds and she hopes to multiply her her weight each week by 1.08, then
her weight after 1 week = 103 * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08¹
Her weight after 2 weeks = [weight of week 1] * 1.08 = [103* 1.08] * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08²
Weight after 3 weeks= [weight of week 2] * 1.08 = [103 * 1.08 * 1.08] * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08³
Hence weight (W) after t weeks = 103 * 1.08^t
b.) If W = 135, Then
103 * 1.08^t = 135
1.08^t = 135/103
1.08^t = 1.31
Taking log of both sides,
log 1.08^t = log 1.31
t log 1.08 = log 1.32
t = log 1.32/log 1.08
t = 3.5 weeks.
Hence, it will take her 3½ weeks to get to 135pounds weight.
At a restaurant that sells appetizers: • 8% of the appetizers cost $1 each, • 20% of the appetizers cost $3 each, • 32% of the appetizers cost $5 each, • 40% of the appetizers cost $10 each, An appetizer is chosen at random, and X is its price. Each appetizer has 7% sales tax. So Y = 1.07X is the amount paid on the bill (in dollars) Find the variance of Y.
Answer:
12.0 (3 sf)
Step-by-step explanation:
E(X) = 0.08(1)+0.2(3)+0.32(5)+0.4(10)
E(X) = 6.28
E(X²) = .08(1²)+.2(3²)+.32(5²)+.4(10²)
E(X²) = 49.88
Var(X) = E(X²) - [E(X)]²
= 49.88 - 6.28² = 10.4416
Var(1.07X) = 1.07² Var(X)
= 1.1449×10.4416 = 11.95458784
12.0 (3 sf)
The variance of the amount paid on the bill (Y) is $10.62.
To find the variance of Y, we need to calculate the expected value of Y first, and then use that to compute the variance.
Step 1: Calculate the expected value of Y (E(Y)).
E(Y) = Σ [P(X) * Y]
where P(X) is the probability of each price category.
E(Y) = (0.08 * $1) + (0.20 * $3) + (0.32 * $5) + (0.40 * $10)
E(Y) = $0.08 + $0.60 + $1.60 + $4.00
E(Y) = $6.28
Step 2: Find the variance of Y.
Variance of Y (Var(Y)) = Σ [P(X) * (Y - E(Y))²]
Var(Y) = (0.08 * ($1 - $6.28)²) + (0.20 * ($3 - $6.28)²) + (0.32 * ($5 - $6.28)²) + (0.40 * ($10 - $6.28)²)
Var(Y) = (0.08 * $27.92) + (0.20 * $10.22) + (0.32 * $1.58) + (0.40 * $14.58)
Var(Y) = $2.24 + $2.04 + $0.51 + $5.83
Var(Y) = $10.62
The variance of Y is $10.62.
The variance measures the spread or dispersion of the values around the expected value, which, in this case, is $6.28.

The monthly amounts spent for food by families of four receiving food stamps approximates a symmetrical, normal distribution. The sample mean is $150 and the standard deviation is $20. Using the Empirical rule, about 95% of the monthly food expenditures are between what two amounts? 20) ______ A) $85 and $105 B) $100 and $200 C) $205 and $220 D) $110 and $190
Answer:
D) $110 and $190
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean = 150
Standard deviation = 20
95% of the monthly food expenditures are between what two amounts?
By the Empirical Rule, within 2 standard deviations of the mean
150 - 2*20 = $110
150 + 2*20 = $190
So the correct answer is:
D) $110 and $190
Answer: D) $110 and $190
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below
68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.
95% fall within two standard deviations.
99.7% fall within three standard deviations.
From the information given, the mean is $150 and the standard deviation is $20.
2 standard deviations = 2 × 20 = 40
150 - 40 = $110
150 + 40 = 190
Therefore, about 95% of the monthly food expenditures are between $110 and $190
For each random variable defined here, describe the set of possible values for the variable, and state whether the variable is discrete.(a) X = the number of unbroken eggs in a randomly chosen standard egg carton Describe the set of possible values for the variable. (0, 12] 1, 2, 3, ..., 12 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 12 [0, 12] State whether the variable is discrete. discrete not discrete.
Answer:
X is a discrete random variable.
X can take values from 0 to 12:
[tex]X\in[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12][/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) X = the number of unbroken eggs in a randomly chosen standard egg carton
X is a discrete random variable.
The minimum amount of eggs broken is 0 and the maximum amount of eggs broken is 12 (assuming a dozen egg carton).
Then, X can take values from 0 to 12:
[tex]X\in[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12][/tex]
About the probability ditribution nothing can be said, because there is no information about it (it can be a binomial, uniform or non-standard distribution).
The set of possible values for the random variable X, representing the number of unbroken eggs in an egg carton, is {0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 12}. X is a discrete random variable because it takes on distinct, countable values with no gaps in between.
The random variable X represents the number of unbroken eggs in a randomly chosen standard egg carton. To describe the set of possible values for this variable, we can consider the number of eggs in a standard carton, which is typically 12. Therefore, the set of possible values for X would be {0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 12}, as it encompasses all possible outcomes, ranging from having no unbroken eggs (0) to having all 12 unbroken eggs.
Now, let's determine whether the variable X is discrete or not. A discrete random variable is one that can take on a countable number of distinct values with gaps in between.
In this case, X is indeed a discrete random variable because it can only take on integer values from 0 to 12, and there are no intermediate values between these whole numbers. Each value represents a distinct and countable outcome based on the number of unbroken eggs, making it a discrete random variable.

A sample of 100 wood and 100 graphite tennis rackets are taken from the warehouse. If 88 wood and 1111 graphite are defective and one racket is randomly selected from the sample, find the probability that the racket is wood or defective.
The question is wrong since it is not possible to have 111 defective graphite rackets when the total number of graphite racket is 100.
Question:
A sample of 100 wood and 100 graphite tennis rackets are taken from the warehouse. Assuming that If 88 wood and 90 graphite are defective and one racket is randomly selected from the sample, find the probability that the racket is wood or defective.
Given Information:
Total wood = 100
Total graphite = 100
Defective wood = 88
Non-defective wood = 12
Defective graphite = 90
Non-defective graphite = 10
Required Information:
Probability of racket being selected is wood or defective = ?
Answer:
P(wood or defective) = 0.95
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of selecting a wood racket is
P(wood) = number of wood rackets/total number of rackets
P(wood) = 100/200 = 1/2
The probability of selecting a defective racket is
P(defective) = number of defective rackets/total number of rackets
P(defective) = 88+90/200 = 178/200 = 89/100
There is double counting of wood so we have to subtract the probability of wood and defective
P(wood and defective) = 88/200 = 11/25
P(wood or defective) = P(wood) + P(defective) - P(wood and defective)
P(wood or defective) = 1/2 + 89/100 - 11/25
P(wood or defective) = 0.95
Alternatively:
P(defective) = number of defective rackets/total number of rackets
P(defective) = 88+90/200 = 178/200 = 89/100
P(wood and non-defective) = 12/200 = 3/50
There is no double counting here so we dont have to subtract anything
P(wood or defective) = P(wood) + P(wood and non-defective)
P(wood or defective) = 89/100 + 3/50
P(wood or defective) = 0.95
Jim began a 226-mile bicycle trip to build up stamina for a triathlete competition. Unfortunately, his bicycle chain broke, so he finished the trip walking. The whole trip
took 7 hours. If Jim walks at a rate of 4 miles per hour and rides at 40 miles per hour, find the amount of time he spent on the bicycle
Answer: 5.5hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Total distance = 226miles
Total time = 7 hours
Let b represent total time spent while walking.
Distance (walking) = 4b
Distance ( riding) = 40(7-b)
Total distance 226 = 4b + 40(7-b)
226 = 4b + 280 - 40b
226 = 280-36b
b = 54/36
b = 1.5hours
Amount of time spent walking = 1.5hours
Amount of time spent riding = 7-1.5 = 5.5hours
Amount of time spent on bicycle = 5.5hours

Suppose we want to see if American children have higher levels of cholesterol than the average child (i.e., in the entire world - the total population). We find that the population average for cholesterol for children all over the world is 190. We test 25 US children and find an average of 201 with a standard deviation of 10. Conduct a hypothesis with a significance level of 0.05.
Answer:
[tex]t=\frac{201-190}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}}=5.5[/tex]
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(24)}>5.5)=0.00000589[/tex]
If we compare the p value and the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 190
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
[tex]\bar X=201[/tex] represent the mean
[tex]s=10[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for the sample
[tex]n=25[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =190[/tex] represent the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 190, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 190[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 190[/tex]
If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".
Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
[tex]t=\frac{201-190}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}}=5.5[/tex]
P-value
The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:
[tex]df=n-1=25-1=24[/tex]
Since is a one side test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(24)}>5.5)=0.00000589[/tex]
Conclusion
If we compare the p value and the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 190

When the temperature is 50°, the expected number of hot dogs sold would be 23.
(b)If the vendor sold 35 hot dogs, the temperature is expected to be ___degrees.
If y=35
[tex]35=\frac{3}{10}x+8\\35-8=\frac{3}{10}x\\27=\frac{3}{10}x[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 10/3
[tex]27 X \frac{10}{3}= \frac{3}{10}x X \frac{10}{3}\\x=90^{0}[/tex]
If the vendor sold 35 hot dogs, the temperature is expected to be 90 degrees.
(c) Based on the line of best fit, for every 10-degree increase in temperature, she should sell 3 more hot dogs.
If we start at the point (1,0) and travel once around the unit circle, we travel a distance of 2 pi units and arrive back where we started at the point (1,0). If we continue around the unit circle a second time, we will repeat all the values of x and y that occurred during our first trip around. Use the this discussion to evaluate the following expressions
sin (2pi + 3pi/2)
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
We evaluate [tex]\sin(2\pi+3\pi/2)[/tex]
In [tex]2\pi+3\pi/2[/tex], [tex]2\pi[/tex] is a complete revolution and is the same as 0. So we have
[tex]\sin3\pi/2 = \sin(\pi+\pi/2)[/tex]
One [tex]\pi[/tex] is a half revolution, putting the point at (-1, 0). [tex]\pi/2[/tex] is a quarter of a revolution. A quarter circle from (-1, 0) anticlockwise is (0, -1).
The sine is the y-coordinate of a point along a unit circle.
Hence, [tex]\sin(2\pi+3\pi/2)=-1[/tex]
Using the cyclical nature of the unit circle and the sine function, the mathematical expression sin (2π + 3π/2) can be simplified to sin (3π/2). travelling 3π/2 around the unit circle takes us to the point where sin is -1.
Explanation:The question requires the evaluation of the mathematical expression sin (2π + 3π/2). This can be solved by utilizing the cyclical nature of the unit circle and the sine function. Since the distance around the unit circle is 2π, adding or subtracting multiples of 2π from the angle doesn't change the result of the sin function.
So, we can simplify the function sin (2π + 3π/2) to sin (3π/2). Because every π/2 around the unit circle the sine function repeats, sin (π/2) is 1, sin (2π/2) or sin (π) is 0, sin (3π/2) is -1, and sin (4π/2) or sin (2π) is 0. So sin (3π/2) equals -1.

Show that a ball dropped from a height h feet reaches the floor in 1/4√h seconds. Then use this result to find the time, in seconds, the ball has been bouncing when it hits the floor for the first, second, third and fourth times:
Answer:
t = ¼√h seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Height = 15 feet
Show that a ball dropped from a height h feet reaches the floor in 14h−−√ seconds. Then use this result to find the time, in seconds, the ball has been bouncing when it hits the floor for the first, second, third and fourth times:
From this, we understand that
u = Initial Velocity = 0
a = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s² = 32ft/s²
h = initial height = 15
Using Newton equation of motion
h = ut + ½at²
Substitute the values
15 = 0 * t + ½ * 32 t²
15 = 16t² ---- make t² the subject of formula
t² = 15/16 ----- square root both sides
t = √15/√16
t = ¼√15
But h = 15
So, t = ¼√h seconds
Or t = 0.25√h seconds
-- Proved
Final answer:
A ball dropped from a height h feet reaches the floor in 14h−−√ seconds. To find the time the ball bounces when it hits the floor for the first, second, third, and fourth times, we can use this result. For example, if h = 1.5 meters, the time it takes for the ball to bounce for the first, second, third, and fourth times would be approximately 6.93 seconds, 7.95 seconds, 8.96 seconds, and 9.98 seconds, respectively.
Explanation:
Given that a ball dropped from a height h feet reaches the floor in 14h√ seconds, we can use this result to find the time the ball bounces when it hits the floor for the first, second, third, and fourth times.
Let's say the time it takes for the ball to reach the floor for the first time is t1. Using the equation 14h√ = t1, we can solve for t1 by squaring both sides of the equation and solving for t1. Similarly, we can find the time for the second, third, and fourth bounces.
For example, if h = 1.5 meters, the time it takes for the ball to bounce for the first, second, third, and fourth times would be approximately 6.93 seconds, 7.95 seconds, 8.96 seconds, and 9.98 seconds, respectively.
