Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Selling price y= a + b (age x)

b)

a= 728.025

b= -38.217

c)

Selling price y = 728.025 - 38.217 age x

d)

SSE=8280.25

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The regression model can be written as

y=a+bx

Here y=selling price and x is age.

So, the regression model will be

Selling price y= a + b (age x)

b)

We have to find the values of "a" and "b"

[tex]b=\frac{nsumxy-(sumx)(sumy)}{nsumx^{2} -(sumx)^2}[/tex]

sumx=5+10+12+14+15=56

sumy=500+400+300+200+100=1500

sumxy=5*500+10*400+12*300+14*200+15*100=14400

sumx²=5²+10²+12²+14²+15²=690

n=5

[tex]b=\frac{5(14400)-(56)(1500)}{5(690) -(56)^2}[/tex]

b=-12000/314

b=-38.217

ybar=a+bxbar

a=ybar-bxbar

ybar=sumy/n=1500/5=300

xbar=sumx/n=56/5=11.2

a=300-(-38.217)(11.2)

a=300+428.025

a=728.025

c)

Selling price y = a - b(age x)

Selling price y = 728.025 - 38.217 age x

d)

SSE known as sum of square of error can be calculated as

SSE=sum(y-yhat)²

y  500 400 300 200 100

x   5      10    12     14    15

yhat= 728.025 - 38.217 age x 536.940  345.855 269.421  192.987  154.770

y-yhat  -36.940  54.145  30.579 7.013  -54.770

(y-yhat)² 1364.56  2931.68  935.08  49.18  2999.75

SSE=sum(y-yhat)²

SSE=1364.56 +2931.68 +935.08 +49.18 +2999.75

SSE =8280.25

Using thedifference data, the sample mean difference was = $850, and the sample standard deviationwas sd = $1,123.

c. Which category, groceries or dining out, has a higher population mean annual credit card charge?What is the point estimate of the difference between the population means? What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the population means?

Answers

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis: [tex]\mu_y- \mu_x = 0[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis: [tex]\mu_y -\mu_x \neq 0[/tex]

b) [tex]t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{850 -0}{\frac{1123}{\sqrt{42}}}=4.905[/tex]

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

[tex]df=n-1=42-1=41[/tex]

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a two tailed test the p value is given by:

[tex]p_v =2*P(t_{(41)}>4.905) =7.6x10^{-6}[/tex]

So the p value is lower than any significance level given, so then we can conclude that we can to reject the null hypothesis that the difference between the two mean is equal to 0.

c) The confidence interval is given by:

[tex] \bar d \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

For this case we have a confidence of 1-0.05 = 0.95 so we need 0.05 of the area of the t distribution with 41 df on the tails. So we need 0.025 of the area on each tail, and the critical value would be:

[tex] t_{crit}= 2.02[/tex]

And if we find the interval we got:

[tex] 850- 2.02* \frac{1123}{\sqrt{42}}=499.96[/tex]

[tex] 850+ 2.02* \frac{1123}{\sqrt{42}}=1200.03[/tex]

We are confident 95% that the difference between the two means is between 499.96 and 1200.03

So we have enough evidence to conclude that one mean is higher than the other one, without conduct another hypothesis test because the confidence interval for the difference of means not contain the value of 0. And for this case the groceries would have a higher mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in  which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example  if we have Before-and-after observations (This problem) we can use it.  

Part a

Let put some notation  

x=test value for 1 , y = test value for 2

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: [tex]\mu_y- \mu_x = 0[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis: [tex]\mu_y -\mu_x \neq 0[/tex]

The first step is calculate the difference [tex]d_i=y_i-x_i[/tex] and we obtain this:

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

[tex]\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}[/tex]

This value is given [tex] \bar d = 850[/tex]

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences.

This value is given also [tex] s_d = 1123[/tex]

Part b

The 4 step is calculate the statistic given by :

[tex]t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{850 -0}{\frac{1123}{\sqrt{42}}}=4.905[/tex]

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

[tex]df=n-1=42-1=41[/tex]

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a two tailed test the p value is given by:

[tex]p_v =2*P(t_{(41)}>4.905) =7.6x10^{-6}[/tex]

So the p value is lower than any significance level given, so then we can conclude that we can to reject the null hypothesis that the difference between the two mean is equal to 0.

Part c

The confidence interval is given by:

[tex] \bar d \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

For this case we have a confidence of 1-0.05 = 0.95 so we need 0.05 of the area of the t distribution with 41 df on the tails. So we need 0.025 of the area on each tail, and the critical value would be:

[tex] t_{crit}= 2.02[/tex]

And if we find the interval we got:

[tex] 850- 2.02* \frac{1123}{\sqrt{42}}=499.96[/tex]

[tex] 850+ 2.02* \frac{1123}{\sqrt{42}}=1200.03[/tex]

We are confident 95% that the difference between the two means is between 499.96 and 1200.03

So we have enough evidence to conclude that one mean is higher than the other one, without conduct another hypothesis test because the confidence interval for the difference of means not contain the value of 0. And for this case the groceries would have a higher mean

Answer:

H_o : u_d = 0 , H_1 : u_d ≠ 0

H_o rejected , p < 0.01

[ 499.969 < d < 1200.301 ] , d = 850

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Difference in mean d = 850

- Standard deviation s = 1123

- The sample size n = 42

- Significance level a = 0.05

Solution:

- Set up and Hypothesis for the difference in means test as follows:

            H_o : Difference in mean u_d= 0

            H_1 : Difference in mean u_d ≠ 0

- The t test statistics for hypothesis of matched samples is calculated by the following formula:

           t = d / s*sqrt(n)

Hence,

           t = 850 / 1123*sqrt(42)

           t = 4.9053

  Thus, the test statistics t = 4.9053.

- The p-value is the probability of obtaining the value of the test statistics or a value greater.

 Using Table 2, of appendix B determine p with DOF = n - 1 = 42 - 1 = 41 , We get:

            p < 2*0.05 ----> 0.01

 Thus,  p < 0.05  ....... Hence, H_o is rejected

- Set up and Hypothesis for the difference in means test as follows:

            H_o : Difference in mean u_d =< 0

            H_1 : Difference in mean u_d > 0

- The t test statistics for hypothesis of matched samples is calculated by te following formula:

           t = d / s*sqrt(n)

Hence,

           t = 850 / 1123*sqrt(42)

           t = 4.9053

  Thus, the test statistics t = 4.9053.

 Using Table 2, of appendix B determine p with DOF = n - 1 = 42 - 1 = 41 , We get:

            p < 0.005

 Thus,  p < 0.05  ....... Hence, H_o is rejected

Hence, the point estimate is d = $850

- The interval estimate of the difference between two population means is calculated by the following formula:

             d +/- t_a/2*s / sqrt(n)

Where CI = 1 - a = 0.95 , a = 0.05 , a/2 = 0.025

Using Table 2, of appendix B determine p with DOF = n - 1 = 42 - 1 = 41 , We get:

              t_a/2 = t_0.025 = 2.020

Therefore,

              d - t_a/2*s / sqrt(n)

              850 - 2.020*1123 / sqrt(20)

             = 499.969

And,

              d + t_a/2*s / sqrt(n)

              850 + 2.020*1123 / sqrt(20)

             = 1200.031

- The 95% CI of the difference between two population means is:

              [ 499.969 < d < 1200.301 ]

Estimate the instantaneous rate of change of h (t) = 2t² + 2 at the point t = −1.
In other words, choose x-values that are getting closer and closer to −1 and compute the slope of the secant lines at each value. Then, use the trend/pattern you see to estimate the slope of the tangent line.

Answers

Answer:

The instantaneous rate of change of h(t) = 2t² + 2 at the point t = −1 is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If two distinct points [tex]P(x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex]Q(x_2,y_2)[/tex] lie on the curve [tex]y=f(x)[/tex], the slope of the secant line connecting the two points is

[tex]m_{sec}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

If we let the point [tex]x_2[/tex] approach [tex]x_1[/tex], then Q will approach P along the graph f(x). The slope of the secant line through points P and Q will gradually approach the slope of the tangent line through P as

[tex]m_{tan}= \lim_{x_2 \to x_1}\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

And this is the instantaneous rate of change of the function f(x) at the point [tex]x_1[/tex].

From the information given, we know that the point P [tex](-1,2(-1)^2+2)=(-1,4)[/tex] lies on the curve [tex]h(t) = 2t^2 + 2[/tex].

If Q is the point [tex](t, 2t^2 + 2)[/tex] we can find the slope of the secant line PQ for the following values of t. Because we choose values that are getting closer and closer to −1.

[tex]\begin{array}{c}-0.9&-0.99&-0.999&-0.9999\\-1.1&-1.01&-1.001&-1.0001\\\end{array}\right[/tex]

Let the point P be [tex](x_2=-1, y_2=4)[/tex] and the point Q be [tex](x_1=t, y_1=2t^2+2)[/tex]. So,

[tex]m=\frac{4-(2t^2+2)}{-1-t}\\\\m=-\frac{2\left(t+1\right)\left(t-1\right)}{-1-t}\\\\m=2\left(t-1\right)[/tex]

Next, substitute the value of x in the formula of the slope

[tex]m=2(-0.9-1)=-3.8[/tex]

Do this for the other values of x.

Below, there is a table that shows the values of the slope.

From the table, as t approaches -1 from the left side (-0.9 to -0.9999), the slopes are approaching to -4 and as t approaches -1 from the right side (-1.1 to -1.0001), the slopes are approaching to -4. The value of the slope at P(-1,4) is then m = -4.

Final answer:

To estimate the instantaneous rate of change of h(t) at t = -1, we calculate the slopes of secant lines near that point and observe the pattern to approximate the slope of the tangent line, which represents the instantaneous velocity.

Explanation:

To estimate the instantaneous rate of change of the function h(t) = 2t² + 2 at t = −1, we need to calculate the slope of the tangent line at that point. We can approximate this slope using secant lines connecting points increasingly closer to t = −1.

Let's select two points close to t = −1, say t1 = −1.1 and t2 = −0.9, and compute the slope of the secant line:

For t1: h(t1) = 2(-1.1)² + 2 = 4.42For t2: h(t2) = 2(-0.9)² + 2 = 3.62

Slope of secant line = (h(t2) − h(t1)) / (t2 − t1) = (3.62 − 4.42) / (-0.9 + 1.1) = −0.8 / 0.2 = −4.

To get a more accurate approximation, we'd choose points even closer to t = −1 and observe the pattern. We can assume that the slope of the tangent line, which represents the instantaneous velocity, is approximately equal to the slopes of the secant lines as they converge to a single value.

A sports manufacturer produces two products: footballs and baseballs. These products can be produced either during the morning shift or the evening shift. The cost of manufacturing the football and the baseball in the morning shift is $20 each, and the cost of manufacturing the football and the baseball in the evening shift is $25 each. The amounts of labor, leather, inner plastic lining, and demand requirements are given as follows: Resource Football Baseball Labor (hours/unit) 0.75 2 Leather (pounds/unit) 7 15 Inner plastic lining (pounds/unit) 0.5 2 Total demand (units) 1500 1200 Based on the information about the company, we know that the maximum labor hours available in the morning shift and evening shift are 5,000 hours and 2,000 hours, respectively, per month. The maximum amount of leather available for the morning shift is 15,000 pounds per month and 14,000 pounds per month for the evening shift. The maximum amount of inner plastic lining available for the morning shift is 2,000 pounds per month and 1,500 pounds per month for the evening shift.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above illlustration,

Let x, be the number of footballs produced in the morning shift,

y, the number of baseball in the morning shift,

z, the number of football in the evening shift,

t, the number of baseball in the evening shift.

Minimizing the objective function,

min {20(x+y) + 25(z + t)}

Therefore, since the number of labor hours is for both shifts(morning and evening shifts), we add the following constraints:

0.75x + 2y ≤ 5000

0.75z + 2t ≤ 2000

Remember, the amount of leather available in the shifts is also limited. The following constraints are got:

7x + 15y ≤ 15000

7z + 15t ≤1 4000

Also, adding the constraints for the use of inner plastic lining, we have:

0.5x + 2y ≤ 2000

0.5z + 2t ≤ 1500

Modelling their demands through the following constraints:

x + z ≥ 1500

y + t ≥ 1200

Also, we are producing whole number of baseballs or footballs but we only, so

x, y, z, t ∈Z.

Finally,

min20(x + y) + 25(z + t)

0.75x + 2y ≤ 5000

0.75z + 2t ≤ 2000

7x + 15y ≤ 15000

7z + 15t ≤ 14000

0.5x + 2y ≤ 2000

0.5z + 2t ≤ 1500

x + z ≥ 1500

y + t ≥ 1200

y, x, t, z ∈ Z.

Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceeds to fall straight down and ends up breaking the windshield of a car passing under the bridge. The car was 25 m away from the point of impact when the bolt began to fall down; unfortunately, the driver did not notice it and proceeded at constant speed of 21 m/s. How high is the bridge

Answers

Answer:

the bridge has a height y₀ = 6.94 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The position y of the loose bolt is given by (0,y) where

y = y₀ - 1/2*g*t²

where

y₀ = initial position of the bolt (height of the bridge) , g= gravity , t=time

and the position x of the car is given by (x,0) where

x= x₀  + v*t

where

x₀= initial position of the car

v= car's velocity

then in order for the bolt to hit the windshield they should be at  x=0 and y=0 at the same time , then

0= x₀  + v*t

t= -x₀/v

replacing in the equation for y

0 = y₀ - 1/2*g*t²

0 = y₀ - 1/2*g*(-x₀/v)²

0 = y₀ - 1/2*g*x₀²/v²

y₀ =  1/2*g*x₀²/v²

replacing values

y₀ =  1/2*g*x₀²/v² = 1/2* 9.8m/s² * (-25 m)²/(21 m/s)² = 6.94 m

then the bridge has a height y₀ =6.94 m

We have assumed that

- The bolt has no horizontal velocity ( only vertical velocity) , starts from rest and neglected air friction

- Neglecting the height of the car , position of the windshield and size of the loose bolt

a) $28,482.19 . . . . future value of all deposits

__

b) The initial deposit was $3000, and there were 144 deposits of $100 each, for a total of ...

  $3000 +144×100 = $17,400 . . . . total deposited

__

c) $558.62

__

d) 60 monthly withdrawals were made in the amount $558.62, for a total of ...

  60×$558.62 = $33,517.20 . . . . total withdrawn

_____

Additional information about (a) and (c)

(a) The future value of the initial deposit is the deposit multiplied by the interest multiplier over the period.

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt) = 3000(1 +.066/12)^(12·12) = 3000·1.0055^144 ≈ 6609.065

The future value of $100 deposits each month is the sum of the series of 144 terms with common ratio 1.0055 and initial value 100.

  A = 100(1.055^144 -1)/0.0055 ≈ 21,873.123

So, the total future value is ...

  $6609.065 +21873.123 ≈ $28482.188 ≈ $28,482.19

__

(c) The withdrawal amount can be found using the same formula used for loan payments:

  A = P(r/n)/(1 -(1 +r/n)^(-nt)) = $28482.19(.0055)/(1 -1.0055^-60) ≈ $558.62

Final answer:

The total amount deposited in the account was $17,400 including an initial investment of $3,000 and subsequent monthly payments of $100 for 12 years. The total amount withdrawn was equal to the final balance after the last deposit.

Explanation:

Let's tackle each question one by one:

You've mentioned that you have already figured out part (a) and (c), so let's move on to part (b).(b) How much was deposited?The individual started with an initial deposit of $3,000. After that, they deposited $100 at the end of each month for 12 years. That's 12 years * 12 months/year * $100/month, for a total of $14,400. So, if you add the initial deposit, the total amount deposited over the whole period is $3,000 + $14,400 = $17,400.(d) What is the total amount withdrawn?The total amount withdrawn is the same as the final balance of the account after the last deposit, as the question states the account balance will be zero after the withdrawals. Since you have already figured out part (a) which is the account balance after the last deposit, the total amount withdrawn corresponds to that sum.

Answers

Final answer:

The description corresponds to an observational study as the analyst is merely observing and analyzing the existing data (earnings per share) to make an investment decision, there's no control or manipulation of the variables involved.

Explanation:

The given description corresponds to an observational study. This is because the stock analyst is merely observing and analyzing the existing earnings per share of the stocks from a group of twenty and then making an investment decision based on this data. There is no manipulation or control of variables, which are defining characteristics of an experiment.

In an experiment, the researchers would have actively influenced the earnings per share (the variable) in some way to gauge the effect of that influence. However, in this case, the analyst is simply observing the earnings per share as they are to select a stock for investment.

Mean = 9930.4/120=82.7533 = 82.75

Answer: The mean amount spent on Valentine's day is;

$82.83

Step-by-step explanation: To find the mean amount we first arrange the numbers in a frequency table, then solve.

STEP1:

AMOUNT FREQUENCY

0-19.99 16

20.00-39.99 13

40.00-59.99 21

60.00-79.99 19

80.00-99.99 12

100.00-119.99 10

120.00-139.99 7

140.00-159.99 8

160.00-179.99 7

180,00-199.99 1

200.00-219.99 3

220.00-239.99 2

240.00-259.99 1

STEP 2: Find the center of each amount, to do this we have to find the average value of the amounts.

For the first amount is;

(0+19.99)/2 = 9.995

For the second amount is;

(20+39.99)/2 =29.995

Solving this for all the amount. Therefore the table comes

AMOUNT FREQUENCY

9.995 16

29.995 13

49.995 21

69.995 19

89.995 12

109.995 10

129.995 7

149.995 8

169.995 7

189.995 1

209.995 3

229.995 2

249.995 1

STEP 3: multiple each amount in step 2 with the frequency.

For the first amount;

9.995×16 = 159.92

For the second amount;

29.995×13= 389.935

For the third amount;

49.995×21= 1049.895

For the fourth amount;

69.99×19= 1329.81

For the fifth amount;

89.995×12=1079.94

For the six amount;

109.995×10= 1099.95

For the sixth amount;

129.995×7= 909.965

For the seventh amount;

149.995×8= 1199.96

For the eight amount;

169.995×7= 1189.965

For the ninth amount;

189.995×1= 189.995

For the tenth amount;

209.995×3= 629.985

For the eleventh amount;

229.995×2=459.99

For the twelveth amount;

249.995×1= 249.995

STEP 4: Sum up all the answers from the multiplication in step 3

Therefore;

159.92+389.935+1049.895+1329.81+1079.94+1099.95+909.965+1199.96+1189.965+189.995+629.985+459.99+629.985+459.99+249.995 = 9939.995

STEP 5: divide the sum of the value seen in step 4 with the total number of frequency to get the mean value.

The total number of frequency is 120

Therefore;

9939.305÷120=82.827541

Take the value to two decimal place, it becomes;

$82.83 this is the mean value of money spent on Valentine's day.

Find the equation for the plane through the points Po(3,-2,5), Qo(-3,-1,-5), and Ro(0,-4,4) The equation of the plane is Type an equation.)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Po(3,-2,5), Qo (-3,-1,-5), and Ro (0,-4,4) ,These are the point in the space.

We know that equation of a plane is given as

[tex]\begin{vmatrix}x-x_1 & y-y_1 &z-z_1 \\ x_2-x_1 & y_2-y_1 &z_2-z_1 \\ x_3-x_1 &y_3-y_1 & z_3-z_1\end{vmatrix}=0\\[/tex]

[tex]\begin{vmatrix}x-0 & y+4 &z-4 \\ 3-0 & -2+4 &5-4 \\ -3-0 &-1+4 & -5-4\end{vmatrix}=0.[/tex]

[tex]\begin{vmatrix}x & y+4 &z-4 \\ 3 & 2 &1 \\ -3 &3 & -9\end{vmatrix}=0.[/tex]

Now by solving above determinate we get

x( -18 -3 ) -(y+4 ) ( -27 +3 ) + ( z- 4) (9+6) = 0

-21 x +24 y -24 x 4 + 15 z - 24 = 0

- 21 x + 24 y + 15 z -120 = 0

- 21 x + 24 y + 15 z =120

Therefore the equation of the plane will be

- 21 x + 24 y + 15 z =120

There are 39 members on the Central High School student government council. When a vote took place on a certain proposal, all of the seniors and none of the freshmen voted for it. Some of the juniors and some of the sophomores voted for the proposal and some voted against it.If a simple majority of the votes cast is required for the proposal to be adopted, which of the following statements, if true, would enable you to determine whether the proposal was adopted?a. There are more seniors than freshmen on the council.b. A majority of the freshmen and a majority of the sophomores voted for the proposal. c. There are 18 seniors on the council.d. There are the same number of seniors and freshmen combined as there are sophomores and juniors combined.e. There are more juniors than sophomores and freshmen combined, and more than 90% of the juniors voted against the proposal.

Answers

Answer:

Option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement b would be true in this case.

Let's gather data from the question:

student council = seniors + juniors

Now, some few things to note:

1. Senior students are in their 12th grade. This is the senior year in high school.  

2. The sophomore is the 10th year in school. These are not senior year students.

Isolating the students, the sophomore + junior students are likely to be the majority here.

Some junior and sophomore students voted for the proposal so it means that the combined number will be: all senior students + some juniors + some sophomores.

Therefore, the majority of the freshmen and a majority of the sophomores voted for the proposal.

(C) P(tattoo | age 30-50)

(D) P(age 18-29 | tattoo)

At Least One Tattoo No Tattoo
Age 18-29 126 324
Age 30-50 54 396

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.2

b) 0.28

c) 0.12

d) 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

We have the following table:

                  At Least One Tattoo No Tattoo

Age 18-29 126                              324

Age 30-50 54                               396

So in total, there are

126 + 324 + 54 + 396 = 900 people

(A) P(tattoo)

This is the probability that a randomly selected person has a tattoo.

Desired outcomes:

126 + 54 = 180

180 people have at least one tattoo

Total outcomes:

There are 900 people.

P(tattoo) = 180/900 = 0.2

(B) P(tattoo | age 18-29)

This the probability that a person aged 18-29 has a tattoo

Desired outcomes:

126 people aged 18-29 have tattoos

Total outcomes:

126 + 324 = 450 people aged 18-29

P(tattoo | age 18-29) = 126/450 = 0.28

(C) P(tattoo | age 30-50)

This the probability that a person aged 30-50 has a tattoo

Desired outcomes:

54 people aged 18-29 have tattoos

Total outcomes:

54 + 396 = 450 people aged 30-50

P(tattoo | age 18-29) = 54/450 = 0.12

(D) P(age 18-29 | tattoo)

The probability that a tattoed person is 18-29.

Desired outcomes:

126 tattoed people are 18-29

Total outcomes

126 + 54 = 180 tattoed people

P(age 18-29 | tattoo) = 126/180 = 0.7

The time taken for a computer to boot up, X, follows a normal distribution with mean 30 seconds and standard deviation 5 seconds. What is the probability that a computer will take more than 42 seconds to boot up?

Answers

Answer:

0.008 is the probability that a computer will take more than 42 seconds to boot up.                                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 30 seconds

Standard Deviation, σ = 5 second

We are given that the distribution of time taken for a computer to boot up is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

[tex]z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

a) P(computer will take more than 42 seconds to boot up)

P(x > 42)

[tex]P( x > 42) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{42 - 30}{5}) = P(z > 2.4)[/tex]

[tex]= 1 - P(z \leq 2.4)[/tex]

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

[tex]P(x > 42) = 1 - 0.992 = 0.008[/tex]

0.008 is the probability that a computer will take more than 42 seconds to boot up.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that you play the game with three different friends separately with the following results: Friend A chose scissors 100 times out of 400 games, Friend B chose scissors 20 times out of 120 games, and Friend C chose scissors 65 times out of 300 games. Suppose that for each friend you want to test whether the long-run proportion that the friend will pick scissors is less than 1/3.

1) Select the appropriate standardized statistics for each friend from the null distribution produced by applet.

-3.47 (100 out of 400; 25%), -4.17 (20 out of 120; 16.7%), -3.80 (65 out of 300; 21.7%)

-3.80 (100 out of 400; 25%), -3.47 (20 out of 120; 16.7%), -4.17 (65 out of 300; 21.7%)

-3.47 (100 out of 400; 25%), -3.80 (20 out of 120; 16.7%), -4.17 (65 out of 300; 21.7%)

-4.17 (100 out of 400; 25%), -3.80 (20 out of 120; 16.7%), -3.47 (65 out of 300; 21.7%)

Answers

Answer:

Friend A

[tex]\hat p_A= \frac{100}{400}=0.25[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{0.25 -0.333}{\sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{400}}}\approx -3.47[/tex]  

Friend B

[tex]\hat p_B= \frac{20}{120}=0.167[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{0.167 -0.333}{\sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{120}}}\approx -3.80[/tex]  

Friend C

[tex]\hat p_C= \frac{65}{300}=0.217[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{0.217-0.333}{\sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{300}}}\approx -4.17[/tex]  

So then the best solution for this case would be:

-3.47 (100 out of 400; 25%), -3.80 (20 out of 120; 16.7%), -4.17 (65 out of 300; 21.7%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n represent the random sample taken

X represent the number of scissors selected for each friend

[tex]\hat p=\frac{X}{n}[/tex] estimated proportion of  scissors selected for each friend

[tex]p_o=\frac{1}{3}=0.333[/tex] is the value that we want to test

[tex]\alpha[/tex] represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion that the friend will pick scissors is less than 1/3 or 0.333, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.333[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.333[/tex]  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is significantly different from a hypothesized value [tex]p_o[/tex].

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

Friend A

[tex]\hat p_A= \frac{100}{400}=0.25[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{0.25 -0.333}{\sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{400}}}\approx -3.47[/tex]  

Friend B

[tex]\hat p_B= \frac{20}{120}=0.167[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{0.167 -0.333}{\sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{120}}}\approx -3.80[/tex]  

Friend C

[tex]\hat p_C= \frac{65}{300}=0.217[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{0.217-0.333}{\sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{300}}}\approx -4.17[/tex]  

So then the best solution for this case would be:

-3.47 (100 out of 400; 25%), -3.80 (20 out of 120; 16.7%), -4.17 (65 out of 300; 21.7%)

Suppose we pick three people at random. For each of the 2.32 The following questions, ignore the special case where someone might be born on February 29th, and assume that births are evenly distributed throughout the year.(a) What is the probability that the first two people share a birthday?(b) What is the probability that at least two people share a birthday?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 1 in 365 or 0.2740%

(b) 0.8227%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) For any given birthday date of the first person, there is a 1 in 365 chance that the second person shares the same birthday, therefore the probability that the first two people share a birthday is:

[tex]P = \frac{1}{365}=0.2740\%[/tex]

(b) There are four possibilities that at least two people share a birthday, first and second, first and third, second and third, all three share a birthday. Therefore, the probability that at least two people share a birthday is:

[tex]P =3* \frac{1}{365}+ (\frac{1}{365})^2\\ P=0.8227\%[/tex]

a) The probability that the first two people share a birthday is approximately 0.0027. b) The probability that at least two people share a birthday is approximately 0.9901.

let's solve each part step by step:

a) Probability that the first two people share a birthday:

To calculate this probability, we can consider the scenario where the first person is born on any day of the year (365 possibilities) and the second person must share the same birthday. So, the probability that the second person shares the same birthday as the first is 1/365.

Therefore, the probability that the first two people share a birthday is [tex]\( \frac{1}{365} \).[/tex]

b) Probability that at least two people share a birthday:

To find this probability, we can use the complement rule: the probability of the event happening is 1 minus the probability of the event not happening.

The probability that no two people share a birthday can be found by considering the birthday of each person and ensuring that they all have different birthdays. For the first person, any of the 365 days is possible. For the second person, there are 364 days remaining. For the third person, there are 363 days remaining. So, the probability that no two people share a birthday is:

[tex]\[ \frac{365}{365} \times \frac{364}{365} \times \frac{363}{365} \][/tex]

To find the probability that at least two people share a birthday, we subtract this probability from 1:

[tex]\[ 1 - \left( \frac{365}{365} \times \frac{364}{365} \times \frac{363}{365} \right) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ = 1 - \frac{365 \times 364 \times 363}{365^3} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \approx 1 - \frac{479,664,580}{48,627,125} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \approx 1 - 0.009882 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \approx 0.990118 \][/tex]

So, the probability that at least two people share a birthday is approximately ( 0.990118 ).

Researchers estimate by the end of 2020, 850,000 new cases of heart disease and 275,000 heart disease deaths will be recorded in the United States. The estimated population of the United States at mid-point of 2020 is 341,672,244. Calculate the projected incidence rate of heart disease per 100,000 in the United States in 2020.

Answers

Answer:

249 per 100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The projected incidence rate of heart disease per 100,000 in the United States in 2020 is determined by the number of estimated new cases of heart disease multiplied by 100,000 and divided by the estimated population of the United States in 2020:

[tex]R=\frac{850,000*100,000}{341,672,244}=248.78[/tex]

Rounding up to the next whole unit, the projected incidence is 249 per 100,000.

Final answer:

To calculate the incidence rate of heart disease per 100,000 in the U.S. in 2020, divide the number of new cases (850,000) by the U.S. population (341,672,244), then multiply by 100,000, resulting in an incidence rate of approximately 248.7.

Explanation:

To calculate the projected incidence rate of heart disease per 100,000 in the United States in 2020, follow these steps:

First, determine the total number of new heart disease cases. Researchers estimated 850,000 new cases of heart disease will be recorded.

Second, determine the population of the United States at the midpoint of 2020, which is 341,672,244.

Finally, calculate the incidence rate using the formula: \((\frac{Number\ of\ new\ cases}{Population}) \times 100,000=Incidence\ Rate\ per\ 100,000\). Therefore, \((\frac{850,000}{341,672,244}) \times 100,000\) results in an incidence rate of approximately 248.7 new cases per 100,000 people.

Understanding this incidence rate can help in assessing the burden of heart disease on the U.S. population and guiding health policy decisions.

An experiment results in one of three mutually exclusive events, A,B,C. it is known that p(A) =.30, p(b) =.55 and p(c) =.15.
A. find each of the following probabilities.1. P(AUB)2. P(A∩C)3. P(A|B)4. P(BUC)B. Are B and C Independent Events? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

A. 1. P(A∪B)=0.85

2. P(A∩C)=0.045

3. P(A/B)=0.3

4. P(B∪C)=0.70

B. Event B and Event C are dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

A. As events are mutually exclusive, so,

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)

P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B)

1. P(A∪B)=?

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)=0.3+0.55=0.85

P(A∪B)=0.85

2. P(A∩C)

P(A∩C)=P(A)*P(C)=0.30*0.15=0.045

P(A∩C)=0.045

3. P(A/B)

P(A/B)=P(A∩B)/P(B)

P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B)=0.30*0.55=0.165

P(A/B)=P(A∩B)/P(B)=0.165/0.55=0.3

P(A/B)=0.3

4.  P(B∪C)

P(B∪C)=P(B)+P(C)=0.55+0.15=0.70

P(B∪C)=0.70

B.

The event B and C are mutually exclusive and events B and event C are dependent i.e. P(B and C)≠P(B)P(C)

The events are mutually exclusive i.e. P(B and C)=0

whereas  P(B)*P(C)=0.55*0.15=0.0825

Mutually exclusive events are independent only if either one of two or both events has zero probability of occurring.

Thus, event B and C are dependent

A) 1:P(A∪B)=0.85

2: P(A∩C)=0.045

3: P(A/B)=0.3

4: P(B∪C)=0.70

B) Events B and C are dependent events.

Since all three events are mutually exclusive:

So, P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)

P(A∪B) = 0.30+0.55

P(A∪B) = 0.85

P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B)

P(A∩B) = 0.30*0.55 = 0.165

P(A/B)=P(A∩B)/P(B)

P(A/B) = 0.165/0.55 = 0.3

Similarly, P(A∩C) =0.045

P(BUC) = 0.70

Events B and C are dependent events because they will be independent only if there is zero possibility of their occurrence.

Therefore, A) 1:P(A∪B)=0.85

2: P(A∩C)=0.045

3: P(A/B)=0.3

4: P(B∪C)=0.70

B) Events B and C are dependent events.

The deck for a card game is made up of 108 cards. Twenty-five each are red, yellow, blue, and green, and eight are wild cards. Each player is randomly dealt a seven-card hand.
(a) What is the probability that a hand will contain exactly two wild cards?
(b) What is the probability that a hand will contain two wild cards, two red cards, and three blue cards?

Answers

(a) The probability that a hand will contain exactly two wild cards is 0.076.

(b) The probability that a hand will contain two wild cards, two red cards, and three blue cards is 0.0007.

Let's solve these problems using the concept of combinations in probability.

Remember, [tex]C(n, k)[/tex] denotes the number of ways to choose k items from a set of n items, and is calculated as

[tex]C(n,k)=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}[/tex]

where "!" denotes factorial. For example, [tex]5! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1[/tex]

(a) The probability that a hand will contain exactly two wild cards:

The total number of ways to choose 7 cards out of 108 is [tex]C(108, 7)[/tex].

The number of ways to choose 2 wild cards out of 8 is [tex]C(8, 2)[/tex].

The number of ways to choose the remaining 5 cards out of the 100 non-wild cards is [tex]C(100, 5)[/tex].

So, the probability is [tex]\frac{C(8, 2) \times C(100, 5)}{C(108, 7)} \approx 0.076[/tex]

(b) The probability that a hand will contain two wild cards, two red cards, and three blue cards:

The number of ways to choose 2 wild cards out of 8 is [tex]C(8, 2)[/tex].

The number of ways to choose 2 red cards out of 25 is [tex]C(25, 2)[/tex].

The number of ways to choose 3 blue cards out of 25 is [tex]C(25, 3)[/tex].

So, the probability is [tex]\frac{C(8, 2) \times C(25, 2) \times C(25, 3)}{C(108, 7)} \approx 0.0007[/tex]

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 11.3% of U.S. workers belong to unions (BLS website, January 2014). Suppose a sample of 400 U.S. workers is collected in 2014 to determine whether union efforts to organize have increased union membership. a. Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether union membership increased in 2014. H0: p Ha: p b. If the sample results show that 52 of the workers belonged to unions, what is the p-value for your hypothesis test (to 4 decimals)? c. At α = .05, what is your conclusion?

Answers

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis: [tex] p \leq 0.113[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis: [tex] p >0.113[/tex]

b) [tex]p_v =P(z>1.07)=0.1423[/tex]  

c) So the p value obtained was a high low value and using the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we have [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of workers belonged to unions  is not significantly higher than 0.113.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we want to check the following system of hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: [tex] p \leq 0.113[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis: [tex] p >0.113[/tex]

Part b

Data given and notation

n=400 represent the random sample taken

X=52 represent the workers belonged to unions

[tex]\hat p=\frac{52}{400}=0.13[/tex] estimated proportion of workers belonged to unions

[tex]p_o=0.113[/tex] is the value that we want to test

[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is significantly different from a hypothesized value [tex]p_o[/tex].

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

[tex]z=\frac{0.13 -0.113}{\sqrt{\frac{0.113(1-0.113)}{400}}}=1.07[/tex]  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex]. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

[tex]p_v =P(z>1.07)=0.1423[/tex]  

Part c

So the p value obtained was a high low value and using the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we have [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of workers belonged to unions  is not significantly higher than 0.113.  

The tip of a fisherman’s rod is 8 feet above the surface of the water when he catches a fish. If he reels in a fish at a rate of 1 foot per second, and never moves the position of the rod, at what rate is the fish approaching the base of the dock when 10 feet of fishing line is out?

Answers

Answer:

-1.28 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

The height of tip of  fisherman's rod from the water surface=y=8 ft

[tex]\frac{dz}{dt}=-1ft/sec[/tex]

We have to find the rate at which the fish is approaching the base of the dock when x=10 ft

[tex]z=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}[/tex]

By Pythagoras theorem

[tex]Hypotenuse=\sqrt{base^2+(perpendicular\;side)^2}[/tex]

Substitute x=10 and y=8

[tex]z=\sqrt{(10)^2+8^2}=\sqrt{164}=2\sqrt{41}ft[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2=z^2[/tex]

Differentiate w.r.t t

[tex]2x\frac{dx}{dt}+2y\frac{dy}{dt}=2z\frac{dz}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]x\frac{dx}{dt}+y\frac{dy}{dt}=z\frac{dz}{dt}[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]10\frac{dx}{dt}+8(0)=2\sqrt{41}\times (-1)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}=0[/tex]

Because he never moves the rod.

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{-2\sqrt{41}}{10}=-1.28 ft/s[/tex]

Hence, the fish is approaching the base of the dock at the rate  of 1.28 ft/s

An urn contains 13 red balls and 7 blue balls. Suppose that three balls are taken from the urn, one at a time and without replacement. What is the probability that at least one of the three taken balls is blue?

Answers

Answer:

0.749

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that at least one of the three taken balls is blue is the inverse of the probability that none of the three taken balls is blue, aka all 3 of the taken balls are red. The probability of this to happen is

In the first pick: 13/20 chance of this happens

In the 2nd pick: 12/19 chance of this happens

In the 3rd pick: 11/18 chance of this happens

So the probability of picking up all 3 red balls is

[tex]\frac{13*12*11}{20*19*18} = \frac{1716}{6840} = 0.251[/tex]

So the probability of picking up at least 1 blue ball is

1 - 0.251 = 0.749

[tex]Sd(X)=\sqrt{Var(X)}=\sqrt{0.8899}=0.943[/tex]

For this case we have the following data given:

X      1    2    3    4    5

F     74   10  11    3    2

The total number of values are 100, so then we can find the empirical probability dividing the frequency by 100 and we got the followin distribution:

X          1          2        3         4          5

P(X)     0.74   0.10   0.11    0.03    0.02

Previous concepts

In statistics and probability analysis, the expected value "is calculated by multiplying each of the possible outcomes by the likelihood each outcome will occur and then summing all of those values".  

The variance of a random variable Var(X) is the expected value of the squared deviation from the mean of X, E(X).  

And the standard deviation of a random variable X is just the square root of the variance.  

Solution to the problem

In order to calculate the expected value we can use the following formula:  

[tex]E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)[/tex]  

And if we use the values obtained we got:  

[tex]E(X)=1*0.74 +2*0.1 +3*0.11+ 4*0.03 +5*0.02=1.49[/tex]  

In order to find the standard deviation we need to find first the second moment, given by :  

[tex]E(X^2)=\sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)[/tex]  

And using the formula we got:  

[tex]E(X^2)=1^2 *0.74 +2^2 *0.1 +3^2 *0.11 +4^2 0.03 +5^2 *0.02=3.11[/tex]  

Then we can find the variance with the following formula:  

[tex]Var(X)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2 =3.11-(1.49)^2 =0.8899[/tex]  

And then the standard deviation would be given by:  

[tex]Sd(X)=\sqrt{Var(X)}=\sqrt{0.8899}=0.943[/tex]

Explain how you determined your answer. Student GPA School Average GPA School Standard Deviation Thuy 2.7 3.2 0.8 Vichet 87 75 20 Kamala 8.6 8 0.4

Answers

Answer:

Kamala had the higher Z-score, so she had the best GPA when compared to other students at his school.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this problem, we have that:

Three students, graded on different curves. I will find whoever has the higher Z-score, and this is the one which had the best GPA.

Thuy 2.7 3.2 0.8

So the student GPA is 2.7, the Average GPA at the school was 3.2 and the standard deviation was 0.8.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{2.7 - 3.2}{0.8}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.625[/tex]

Vichet 87 75 20

So the student GPA is 87, the Average GPA at the school was 75 and the standard deviation was 20.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{87 - 75}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.6[/tex]

Kamala 8.6 8 0.4

So the student GPA is 8.6, the Average GPA at the school was 8 and the standard deviation was 0.4.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{8.6 - 8}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]

Kamala had the higher Z-score, so she had the best GPA when compared to other students at his school.

Explain the meaning of each of the following. (a) lim x → −3 f(x) = [infinity] The values of f(x) can be made arbitrarily close to 0 by taking x sufficiently close to (but not equal to) −3. The values of f(x) can be made arbitrarily large by taking x sufficiently close to (but not equal to) −3.

Answers

Answer:

The right answer is option 3.

lim x → −3 f(x) = [infinity] means the values of f(x) can be made arbitrarily large by taking x sufficiently close to (but not equal to) −3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The limit of a function is a fundamental concept concerning the behavior of that function near a particular input.

A function f assigns an output f(x) to every input x. We say the function has a limit L at an input a: this means f(x) gets closer and closer to L as x moves closer and closer to a. More specifically, when f is applied to any input sufficiently close to a, the output value is forced arbitrarily close to L.

That is,

lim x → a f(x) = L

Hope this helps!

Final answer:

The limit lim x → −3 f(x) = [infinity] means that as x values get closer to -3 (without becoming -3), the value of the function f(x) goes towards infinity i.e., it grows without bound. This is akin to certain function behaviors near a value at which an asymptote is present. However, the second part about f(x) values getting close to 0 seems contradiction to the first statement.

Explanation:

The statement lim x → −3 f(x) = [infinity] is related to a concept in Calculus known as a limit. When we say that the limit of f(x) as x approaches -3 is infinity, we mean that as we make x values closer and closer to -3 (without letting x actually be -3), the value of the function f(x) becomes larger and larger without bound, i.e., approaches infinity.

This is similar to some function behaviors near an asymptote. For example, the function y = 1/x has a vertical asymptote at x = 0, where y approaches infinity as x approaches zero from either direction. Here, as x gets arbitrarily close to 0, the value of y = 1/x gets arbitrarily large, or 'approaches infinity'.

On the other hand, when the question states, 'The values of f(x) can be made arbitrarily close to 0 by taking x sufficiently close to (but not equal to) -3', it signifies the tendency of the function values to get closer and closer to 0 as x gets closer to -3. This indicates a certain limit behavior, but it seems to be contradictory with the first part where the limit was stated to be infinity. It is important to scrutinize the function's properties and behavior around x = -3 carefully.
