Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The probability that the individual likes both vehicle #1  and vehicle #2 is 0.40.

(b) The value of P (A₂ | A₃) is 0.7143.

(c) The events A₂ and A₃ are not independent.

(d) The probability that an individual likes at least one of A₂ and A₃ given they did not like A₁ is 0.7333.

Step-by-step explanation:

The events are defined as follows:

A= an individual like vehicle #1

A= an individual like vehicle #2

A= an individual like vehicle #3

The information provided is:

[tex]P(A_{1})=0.55\\P(A_{2})=0.65\\P(A_{3})=0.70\\P(A_{1}\cup A_{2})=0.80\\P(A_{2}\cap A_{3})=0.50\\P(A_{1}\cup A_{2}\cip A_{3})=0.88\\[/tex]

(a)

Compute the probability that the individual likes both vehicle #1  and vehicle #2 as follows:

[tex]P(A_{1}\cap A_{2})=P(A_{1})+P(A_{2})-P(A_{1}\cup A_{2})\\=0.55+0.65-0.80\\=0.40[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the individual likes both vehicle #1  and vehicle #2 is 0.40.

(b)

Compute the value of P (A₂ | A₃) as follows:

[tex]P(A_{2}|A_{3})=\frac{P(A_{2}\cap A_{3})}{P(A_{3}}\\=\frac{0.50}{0.70}\\=0.7143[/tex]

Thus, the value of P (A₂ | A₃) is 0.7143.

(c)

If two events X and Y are independent then,

[tex]P(X\cap Y)=P(X)\times P(Y)\\P(X|Y)=P(X)[/tex]

The value of P (A₂ ∩  A₃) is 0.50.

The product of the probabilities, P (A₂) and P (A₃) is:

[tex]P(A_{2})\times P(A_{3})=0.65\times0.70=0.455[/tex]

Thus, P (A₂ ∩ A₃) ≠ P (A₂) × P (A₃)

The value of P (A₂ | A₃) is 0.7143.

The value of P (A₂) is 0.65.

Thus, P (A₂ | A₃) ≠ P (A₂).

The events A₂ and A₃ are not independent.

(d)

Compute that probability that an individual likes at least one of A₂ and A₃ given they did not like A₁ as follows:

[tex]P(A_{2}\cup A_{3}|A_{1}^{c})=\frac{P((A_{2}\cup A_{3})\cap A_{1}^{c})}{P(A_{1}^{c})}\\=\frac{P((A_{2}\cup A_{3}\cup A_{1})-P(A_{1})}{1-P(A_{1})} \\=\frac{0.88-0.55}{1-0.55}\\=0.7333[/tex]

Thus, the probability that an individual likes at least one of A₂ and A₃ given they did not like A₁ is 0.7333.

Answer 2

Final answer:

The probability that the individual likes both vehicle #1 and vehicle #2 is 0.40. Events A2 and A3 are not independent as P(A2 and A3) does not equal P(A2)P(A3). If the individual did not like vehicle #1, the probability of liking at least one of the other two vehicles is 0.73.

Explanation:

Probability of Likes and Independency of Events

To find the probability that the individual likes both vehicle #1 and vehicle #2, which is P(A1 ∩ A2), we use the formula: P(A1 ∩ A2) = P(A1) + P(A2) - P(A1 ∪ A2). Given that P(A1) = 0.55, P(A2) = 0.65, and P(A1 ∪ A2) = 0.80, we can calculate P(A1 ∩ A2):

P(A1 ∩ A2) = 0.55 + 0.65 - 0.80 = 0.40.

The conditional probability P(A2|A3) represents the probability of liking vehicle #2 given that the individual already likes vehicle #3. Using the definition of conditional probability:

P(A2|A3) = P(A2 ∩ A3) / P(A3) = 0.50 / 0.70 = approximately 0.714.

To determine if A2 and A3 are independent events, we can check if P(A2 ∩ A3) equals P(A2)P(A3) which would be 0.65 * 0.70 = 0.455. Since P(A2 ∩ A3) = 0.50, which is not equal to 0.455, A2 and A3 are not independent.

Moreover, if A2 and A3 were independent, then knowing that A3 occurred would not change the probability of A2 happening. However, P(A2|A3) is not equal to P(A2), indicating their dependence. Lastly, when the individual did not like vehicle #1, the probability that they liked at least one of the other two vehicles can be found using the probability of the union of events, subtracting the probability of liking vehicle #1:

P(A2 ∪ A3 | not A1) = P(A2 ∪ A3) - P(A1) + P(A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3) = 0.88 - 0.55 + 0.40 = 0.73.

(a) What is the concentration of our solution in the tank initially? concentration = (kg/L) (b) Set up an initial value problem for the quantity y, in kg, of salt in the tank at time t minutes. dy/dt = (kg/min) y(0) = (kg) (c) Solve the initial value problem in part (b). y(t) = (d) Find the amount of salt in the tank after 5 hours. amount = (kg) (e) Find the concentration of salt in the solution in the tank as time approaches infinity. concentration = (kg/L)

Answers

Answer:

(a) Initial concentration of salt = 0.07 kg/L

(b) [tex]\therefore Y'(t)= 0.28 -\frac{y}{125}[/tex]

(c) [tex]Y(t)=35 +35e^{-\frac{1}{125} t}[/tex]

(d)Therefore the amount of salt after 5 hours is  =38.18 kg

(e) The concentration of salt in the solution in the tank as time approaches infinity is = 0.035 kg/L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A tank contains 70 kg of salt and 1000 L of water.

(a)

[tex]\textrm{Concentration of salt }=\frac{\textrm{mass of salt}}{\textrm{volume of water}}[/tex]

                                 [tex]=\frac{70}{1000} kg/L[/tex]

                                =0.07 kg/L

(b)

Let Y(t) be the amount of salt at any instant time t.

Therefore

[tex]Y'(t)= Y_{in}-Y_{out}[/tex]

[tex]Y_{in}=\textrm{concentration of salt} \times \textrm{rate of enter}[/tex]

     =(8×0.035) kg/min

     =0.28 kg/min

Since the rate of water in and out are same , the amount of solution remain constant.

[tex]Y_{out}= (\frac{y}{1000}\times 8) kg/min[/tex]

       [tex]=\frac{y}{125} kg/L[/tex]

[tex]\therefore Y'(t)= 0.28 -\frac{y}{125}[/tex]

(c)

The above equation can be rewrite as

[tex]Y'(t) +\frac{y}{125} =0.28[/tex]

The coefficient of y is p(t) [tex]=\frac{1}{125}[/tex]

The integrating factor of the D.E is[tex]=e^{\int p(t) dt=[/tex] [tex]e^{\int \frac{1}{125} dt[/tex]  [tex]=e^{\frac{1}{125} t[/tex]

Multiplying the integrating factor of both sides of D.E

[tex]e^{\frac{1}{125} t} \ \frac{dY}{dt} +e^{\frac{1}{125} t} .\frac{1}{125} Y=0.28 \ e^{\frac{1}{125} t}[/tex]

Integrating both sides

[tex]\int e^{\frac{1}{125} t} \ \ dY+\int e^{\frac{1}{125} t} .\frac{1}{125} Y \ dt=\int0.28 \ e^{\frac{1}{125} t}\ dt[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow e^{\frac{1}{125} t} \ Y= \frac{0.28e^{\frac{1}{125}t} }{\frac{1}{125}} +C[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow Y=35+Ce^{-\frac{1}{125}t}[/tex]

At initial when t= 0, y =70

Therefore

[tex]70=35+Ce^0[/tex]

⇒C= 70-35

⇒C=35

Therefore

[tex]Y(t)=35 +35e^{-\frac{1}{125} t}[/tex]

(d)

When t= 5 hour = 300 min

To find the amount of salt after 5 hour , we need to put the value of t in the general solution of D.E

Therefore the amount of salt after 5 hours is =  [tex]Y(300)=35+35e^{-\frac{300}{125} }[/tex]

                                                                                          = 38.18 Kg

(e)

When t=∞

[tex]Y(\infty )= 35 +e^{-\infty}[/tex]

         = 35 Kg   [tex][e^{-\infty}=0][/tex]

Since the amount of water is remain same i.e 1000 L

Therefore the concentration of salt is [tex]=\frac{35}{1000}kg/L[/tex]

                                                                 =0.035 kg/L

Final answer:

This problem involves using differential equations to model the concentration of salt in a tank over time. The initial concentration is determined, an initial value problem is set up, the initial value problem is solved, the amount of salt after a specific time is found, and the approaching concentration as time goes to infinity is identified.

Explanation:

(a) The initial concentration of the solution can be found by dividing the amount of salt by the volume of water. So, 70 kg / 1000 L = 0.07 kg/L.

(b) Let y be the amount of salt in the tank at time t. Then, dy/dt = 0.035 kg/L * 8 L/min - 0.07 kg/L * 8 L/min since salt is being added at a rate of 0.035 kg/L *8 L/min and leaving at a concentration of 0.07 kg/L * 8 L/min. Thus, dy/dt = 0.28 kg/min - 0.56 kg/min = -0.28 kg/min. The initial condition is y(0) = 70 kg.

(c) To solve this differential equation, we use the method of separation of variables. We get y(t) = 70 - 0.28t in kg.

(d) After 5 hours, or 300 minutes, the amount of salt in the tank is y(300) = 70 - 0.28*300 = 16 kg.

(e) As time approaches infinity, the concentration of salt will approach the incoming salt concentration, which is 0.035 kg/L since the solution is mixed and leaves at that rate.

At 95% confidence, the null hypothesis:

a. should be rejected
b. should not be rejected
c. should be revised
d. None of these alternatives is correct

Answers

Answer:

Option b. should not be rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the contents of a sample of 26 cans of apple juice showed a standard deviation of 0.06 ounces.

We have to test whether the variance of the population is significantly more than 0.003, i.e.;

  Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{0.003}[/tex]

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_1[/tex] : [tex]\sigma > \sqrt{0.003}[/tex]

The test statistics used here for testing variance is;

          T.S. = [tex]\frac{(n-1)s^{2} }{\sigma^{2} }[/tex] ~ [tex]\chi^{2}__n_-_1[/tex]

where, s = sample standard deviation = 0.06

           n = sample size = 26 cans

So, Test statistics = [tex]\frac{(26-1)0.06^{2} }{0.003 }[/tex] ~ [tex]\chi^{2}__2_5[/tex]

                            = 30

So, at 5% level of significance chi square table gives critical value of 37.65 at 25 degree of freedom. Since our test statistics is less than the critical so we have insufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that null hypothesis should not be rejected and variance of population is 0.003.

The question is not complete and the complete question is;

On April 1, the unpaid balance in an account was $218. A payment of $30 was made on April 11. On April 21, a $40 purchase was made. The finance charge rate was 15% per month of the average daily balance. Find the new balance at the end of April.

Answer:

Average daily balance = $211.33

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know the following;

On April 1, the unpaid balance was $218.

On April 11, a payment of $30 was made.

On April 21, a $40 purchase was made.

Now, from april 1st till 10th, the unpaid balance was $218.

Since a $30 deposit was paid on the 11th,it means that from april 11th till 20th, the unpaid balance was $218 - $30 = $188

Also since a $40 purchase was made on April 21st,it means that from april 21st till 30th, the unpaid balance was $188 + $40 = 228

Now, since we want to find the average daily balance for the month, let's find the total daily balance and divide by the number of days in the month.

Total balance was:

10 days from april 1st till 10th = 10 x $218 = $2180.

10 days from april 11th till 20th = 10 x $188 = $1880.

10 days from april 21st till 30th = 10 x 228 = $2280.

Adding up, the total =$2180 + $1880+ $2280 = $6340

Now the average daily balance for the month which has 30 days = $6340/30 = $211.33

A distribution of grades in an introductory statistics course (where A = 4, B = 3, etc) is: X 0 1 2 3 4 P(X) 0.1 0.17 0.21 0.32 0.2 Part a: Find the probability that a student has passed this class with at least a C (the student's grade is at least a 2).

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a student has passed this class with at least a C is 0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 4 B = 3 C = 2 D = 1 E = 0

P(0) = 0.1

P(1) = 0.17

P(2) = 0.21

P(3) = 0.32

P(4) = 0.2

Probability that student passed this class with at least a C mean the score must be more than C

P(X\geq 2) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4)\\

P(X\geq 2) = 0.21 + 0.32 + 0.2\\

P(X\geq 2) = 0.73

Final answer:

The probability that a student has passed an introductory statistics class with at least a C grade is found by summing the probabilities for grades C and above, resulting in a probability of 0.73 or 73%.

Explanation:

The question asks for the probability that a student has passed an introductory statistics class with at least a C grade, which is represented as a grade of at least 2 when A = 4, B = 3, and so forth. The distribution of grades and their probabilities are given as follows: X represents the grade, and P(X) represents the probability of obtaining that grade. Therefore, to find the probability of passing the class with at least a C, we need to sum the probabilities of getting a grade of 2 or higher.

P(X=2) = 0.21

P(X=3) = 0.32

P(X=4) = 0.2

Adding these probabilities together:

P(X≥2) = 0.21 + 0.32 + 0.2 = 0.73

Therefore, the probability that a student has passed this class with at least a C is 0.73 or 73%.

To estimate the mean age for a population of 4000 employees, a simple random sample of 40 employees is selected. If the population standard deviation is 8.2 years, computer the standard error of the mean. (Round to one decimal place) What is the probability that the sample mean age of the employees will be within 2 years of the population mean age

Answers

Answer:

The standard error of the mean is 1.3.

87.64% probability that the sample mean age of the employees will be within 2 years of the population mean age

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

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.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation, which is also called standard error [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\sigma = 8.2, n = 40[/tex]

Computer the standard error of the mean

[tex]s = \frac{8.2}{\sqrt{40}} = 1.3[/tex]

The standard error of the mean is 1.3.

What is the probability that the sample mean age of the employees will be within 2 years of the population mean age

This is the pvalue of Z when [tex]X = \mu + 2[/tex] subtracted by the pvalue of Z when [tex]X = \mu - 2[/tex]. So

[tex]X = \mu + 2[/tex]

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{\mu + 2 - \mu}{1.3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.54[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.54[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9382

-----

[tex]X = \mu - 2[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{\mu - 2 - \mu}{1.3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.54[/tex]

The number of people arriving for treatment at an emergency room can be modeled by a Poisson process with a mean of 7 people per hour. How many people do you expect to arrive during a 55-minute period?

Answers

Answer:

I Expect 6.4167 persons arriving during a 55.minute period.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the mean in one hour (60 minutes) is 7, then in a 55 minute period you can expect, by using a rule of three, 7*55/60 = 6.4167 persons. This is because the amount of expected people is always proportional to the amount of time spent waiting for poisson distributions.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The detailed steps and appropriate formular is as shown in the attached file.

The answers are :

(a) [tex]\text{Sample Mean is}[/tex] [tex]49[/tex] [tex]\text{and Sample Standard Deviation is}[/tex] [tex]11.7[/tex].

(b) [tex]95\%[/tex][tex]\text{Confidence Interval for True Mean} (36.72, 61.28).[/tex]

(c) [tex]95\% \text{Prediction Interval for a New Sample is} (16.54, 81.46)[/tex]

(a) Calculate the Sample Mean and Sample Standard Deviation

First, let's calculate the sample mean (\(\bar{x}\)) and the sample standard deviation (s).

Given data: [tex]34, 40, 46, 49, 61, 64[/tex]

[tex]\text{Sample Mean} (\(\bar{x}\))[/tex]

[tex]\[\bar{x} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i = \frac{1}{6} (34 + 40 + 46 + 49 + 61 + 64) = \frac{294}{6} = 49\][/tex]

Sample Standard Deviation (s)

[tex]\[s = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \bar{x})^2}][/tex]

[tex]\[\begin{aligned}s & = \sqrt{\frac{1}{5} ((34-49)^2 + (40-49)^2 + (46-49)^2 + (49-49)^2 + (61-49)^2 + (64-49)^2)} \\& = \sqrt{\frac{1}{5} (225 + 81 + 9 + 0 + 144 + 225)} \\& = \sqrt{\frac{1}{5} \times 684} \\& = \sqrt{136.8} \\& = 1.7\end{aligned}\][/tex]

(b) Determine the Range of the True Mean at [tex]95\%[/tex] Confidence Level

To find the 95% confidence interval for the mean, we use the formula:

[tex]\[\bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2, n-1} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\][/tex]

For [tex]\(n = 6\)[/tex], degrees of freedom [tex]= \(n-1 = 5\)[/tex]. Using a t-table, the critical value for [tex]95\%[/tex] confidence and [tex]5[/tex] degrees of freedom is approximately [tex]2.571[/tex]

[tex]\[\begin{aligned}\text{Margin of Error} & = t_{\alpha/2, n-1} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \\& = 2.571 \times \frac{11.7}{\sqrt{6}} \\& = 2.571 \times 4.776 \\& = 12.28\end{aligned}\][/tex]

So, the [tex]95\%[/tex] confidence interval is:

[tex]\[49 \pm 12.28 \Rightarrow (36.72, 61.28)\][/tex]

(c) Prediction Interval ([tex]95\%[/tex] Confidence Level) for a Seventh Sample

The prediction interval for a new observation is calculated using:

[tex]\[\bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2, n-1} s \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{n}}\][/tex]

[tex]\[\begin{aligned}\text{Prediction Interval} & = 49 \pm 2.571 \times 11.7 \times \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{6}} \\& = 49 \pm 2.571 \times 11.7 \times \sqrt{1.1667} \\& = 49 \pm 2.571 \times 11.7 \times 1.080 \\& = 49 \pm 32.46\end{aligned}\][/tex]

So, the prediction interval is:

[tex]\[(16.54, 81.46)\][/tex]

"6. A brand name has a 40% recognition rate. Assume the owner of the brand wants to verify that rate by beginning with a small sample of 6 randomly selected consumers. a. What is the probability that exactly 5 of the 6 consumers recognize the brand name? b. What is the probability that all of the selected consumers recognize the brand name? c. What is the probability that at least 5 of the selected consumers recognize the brand name? d. If 6 consumers are randomly selected, is 5 and unusually high number of consumers that recognize the brand name?"

Answers

Answer:

(a) The probability that exactly 5 of the 6 consumers recognize the brand name is 0.0369.

(b) The probability that all of the selected consumers recognize the brand name is 0.0041.

(c) The probability that at least 5 of the selected consumers recognize the brand name is 0.041.

(d) The events of 5 customers recognizing the brand name is unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of consumer's who recognize the brand.

The probability of the random variable X is, P (X) = p = 0.40.

A random sample of size, n = 6 consumers are selected.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

[tex]P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...[/tex]

(a)

Compute the value of P (X = 5) as follows:

[tex]P(X=5)={6\choose 5}0.40^{5}(1-0.40)^{6-5}\\=6\times0.01024\times0.60\\=0.036864\\\approx0.0369[/tex]

Thus, the probability that exactly 5 of the 6 consumers recognize the brand name is 0.0369.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X = 6) as follows:

[tex]P(X=6)={6\choose 6}0.40^{6}(1-0.40)^{6-6}\\=1\times 0.004096\times1\\=0.004096\\\approx0.0041[/tex]

Thus, the probability that all of the selected consumers recognize the brand name is 0.0041.

(c)

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 5) as follows:

P (X ≥ 5) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6)

              = 0.0369 + 0.0041

              = 0.041

Thus, the probability that at least 5 of the selected consumers recognize the brand name is 0.041.

(d)

An event is considered unusual if the probability of its occurrence is less than 0.05.

The probability of 5 customers recognizing the brand name is 0.0369.

This probability value is less than 0.05.

Thus, the events of 5 customers recognizing the brand name is unusual.

Assumptions underlying the independent-measures t-test According to the theory of stereotype threat, situational pressures can lead to decreased performance on tests of cognitive abilities. Joshua Aronson tested how Caucasian engineering students performed on a math test when placed under a form of situational pressure by randomly assigning 100 of these students to either the control or experimental groups. The control group was told that they were taking a test of general math ability. Members of the experimental group were presented with several news articles discussing the increasing difference in math scores between Asian and Caucasian students and were told that the purpose of the test was to explore these differences.
Would it be valid for Dr. Aronson to use the independent-measures t-test to test whether drawing attention to stereotypes about racial groups and math ability affects math scores?

A. No, because the two populations from which the samples are selected are not normally distributed.
B. Yes, because the sample size is large and there is no reason to believe the assumptions of the independent-measures t-test are violated.
C. No, because the two groups studied are not independent.
D. No, because the variances within the two samples are different.

Answers

Final answer:

The answer is B. It is valid for Dr. Aronson to use the independent-measures t-test to investigate the effect of stereotype threat on math test performance among Caucasian engineering students. The t-test, which compares the means of two groups, is appropriate as long as the assumptions of independent measures, normal distribution, and homogeneity of variances are met.

Explanation:

The answer is B. The independent-measures t-test is a statistical test used to compare the means of two independent groups to determine if the differences between them are statistically significant. It is valid for Dr. Aronson to use this test because he has two groups of participants (control and experimental) who are separate and independently assigned. The large sample size also makes it more likely that the distribution of scores follows a normal pattern, even if this is not guaranteed.

The assumptions underlying the independent-measures t-test include the independence of observations, normal distribution of the population, and homogeneity of variance (equal variances). In this scenario, nothing suggests these assumptions would be violated. The students are independently assigned to the groups and their scores would not affect one another, satisfying the independence of observations.

Although we do not know for sure if the populations from which the samples come are normally distributed or if the variances within both samples are equal, these are assumptions of the test and not data dependent, therefore we can't definitively argue they are reasons not to use the test.

The amount A of the radioactive element radium in a sample decays at a rate proportional to the amount of radium present. Given the half-life of radium is 1690 years: (a) Write a differential equation that models the amount A of radium present at time t (b) Find the general solution of the differential equation. (c) Find the particular solution of the differential equation with the initial condition A(0)=10 g. (d) How much radium will be present in the sample at t=300 years?

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]\frac{dm}{dt} = -k\cdot m[/tex], b) [tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex], c) [tex]m(t) = 10\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{2438.155} }[/tex], d) [tex]m(300) \approx 8.842\,g[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let assume an initial mass m decaying at a constant rate k throughout time, the differential equation is:

[tex]\frac{dm}{dt} = -k\cdot m[/tex]

b) The general solution is found after separating variables and integrating each sides:

[tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex]

Where [tex]\tau[/tex] is the time constant and [tex]k = \frac{1}{\tau}[/tex]

c) The time constant is:

[tex]\tau = \frac{1690\,yr}{\ln 2}[/tex]

[tex]\tau = 2438.155\,yr[/tex]

The particular solution of the differential equation is:

[tex]m(t) = 10\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{2438.155} }[/tex]

d) The amount of radium after 300 years is:

[tex]m(300) \approx 8.842\,g[/tex]

Answer:

a) -dm/m = k*dt

b) m=m₀*e^(-k*t)

c) m=10 g*e^(-4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹*t)

d) m= 8.842 gr

( same results obtained previously by Xero099)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount of radium is proportional to its quantity . Denoting as m the mass of Radium , and t as time. we have:

a) -dm/dt = k*m , where k is the proportionality constant

b) solving the differential equation;

-dm/m = k*dt

∫dm/m = -∫k*dt

ln m = -k*t + C

for t=0 , we have m=m₀ (initial mass)

then

ln m₀ = 0 + C → C=ln m₀

therefore

ln (m/m₀) = -k*t

m=m₀*e^(-k*t)

c) for t= 1690 years , the quantity of radium is half , then m=m₀/2 , thus

ln (m₀/2/m₀) = -k*t

ln (1/2) =   -k*t

(ln 2 )/t = k

k =  ln 2  / 1690 years = 4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹

then for m₀= 10 g

m=10 g*e^(-4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹*t)

d) at t= 300 years

m=10 g*e^(-4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹*300 years) = 8.842 gr

then the mass is m= 8.842 gr

Check our blood pressure: In a recent study, the Centers for Disease Control and prevention reported that diastolic blood pressures of adult women in the United States are approximately normally distributed with mean 80.7 and a standard deviation of 10.1. (a) What proportion of women have blood pressures lower than 68?

Answers

Answer:

The proportion of the women that have blood pressures lower than 68 is 0.1038 or 10.38%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Blood pressure required (x) = 68

Mean blood pressure (μ) = 80.7

Standard deviation (σ) = 10.1

The distribution is normally distributed.

So, first, we will find the z-score of the distribution using the formula:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} [/tex]

Plug in the values and solve for 'z'. This gives,

[tex]z=\frac{68-80.7}{10.1}=-1.26[/tex]

So, the z-score of the distribution is -1.26.

Now, we need the probability [tex]P(x\leq 68 )=P(z\leq -1.26)[/tex].

From the normal distribution table for z-score equal to -1.26, the value of the probability is 0.1038. This is the area to the left of the curve or less than z-score value which is what we need.

Therefore, the proportion of the women that have blood pressures lower than 68 is 0.1038 or 10.38%.

A study of stress on the campus of your university reported a mean stress level of 76 (on a 0 to 100 scale with a higher score indicating more stress) with a margin of error of 4 for 95% confidence. The study was based on a random sample of 49 undergraduates.Give the 95% confidence interval.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for population mean is (72, 80).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α) % confidence interval for population mean (μ) is:

[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

The Margin of error for this confidence interval is:

[tex]MOE=z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

The confidence interval for μ can also be written as:

[tex]CI=\bar x\pm MOE[/tex]

Given:

[tex]\bar x=76\\MOE=4[/tex]

Compute the 95% confidence interval for population mean as follows:

[tex]CI=\bar x\pm MOE\\=76\pm4\\=(72, 80)[/tex]

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for population mean is (72, 80).

Answer:

[tex] \bar X \pm ME[/tex]

And if we find the limits we got:

[tex] 76-4 = 72[/tex]

[tex] 76 + 4 = 80[/tex]

So then the 95% confidence interval would be (72.0,80.0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

[tex]\bar X = 76[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample  

[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)  

s represent the sample standard deviation  

n=49 represent the original sample size  

Confidence =95% or 0.95

ME=4 represent the margin of error.

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]   (1)  

The margin of error is defined as:

[tex] ME= t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

The formula for the confidence interval is equivalent to:

[tex] \bar X \pm ME[/tex]

And if we find the limits we got:

[tex] 76-4 = 72[/tex]

[tex] 76 + 4 = 80[/tex]

So then the 95% confidence interval would be (72.0,80.0)

Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break, a total distance of 290 miles.
She was able to average 50 miles per hour for part of the trip but had to slow down to 45 miles per hour
for the rest of the time due to poor weather. How many hours did she drive at each speed?

Answers

Answer: at 50 mph, she drove for 4 hours.

at 45 mph, she drove for 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time that she spent driving at 50 miles per hour.

Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break. This means that the time that she spent driving at 45 miles per hour is (6 - t) hours.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered while driving 50 miles per hour is

50t

Distance covered while driving 45 miles per hour is

45(6 - t)

Since the total distance that she drove is 290 miles, it means that

50t + 45(6 - t) = 290

50t + 270 - 45t = 290

50t - 45t = 290 - 270

5t = 20

t = 20/5 = 4

At 45 miles per hour, she drove at

6 - 4 = 2 hours

we have 350 m^2 of material to build a box whose base width is four times its base length. determine the dimensions of the box that will maximize the enclosed volume

Answers

Final answer:

A box with a base width four times its length, built from 350 m^2 material, will have maximum volume when its dimensions are: length = sqrt(35) m, width = 4sqrt(35) m, and height = 350/(12*sqrt(35)) m.

Explanation:

We know that the box's area, which is the sum of all the faces, is given by 2lw+2lh+2wh = 350 square meters, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. Since the base width is four times the base length, we can say w=4l. Substituting this into the equation, we solve for h, h = (350 - 2l^2) / (6l).

The volume of the box is given by V = lwh. Substituting the value of h from the previous equation, we get V = l * 4l * (350 - 2l^2) / (6l) = 4/3 *l^2 *(175 - l^2). To maximize the volume, we need to find the value of l when the derivative of the volume equation is 0. Differentiating, setting the derivative equal to 0, and solving for l, we find l = sqrt(35), and substituting this into the earlier equation, we find h = 350/(12*sqrt(35)). The dimensions of the box that will maximize volume are, length = sqrt(35) m, width = 4sqrt(35) m, and height = 350/(12*sqrt(35)) m.

The base of a rectangular tank measures 10 ft by 20 ft. The tank is 16 ft tall, and its top is 10 ft below ground level. The tank is full of water weighing 62.4 lb/ft3. How much work does it take to empty the tank by pumping the water to ground level? Give your answer to the nearest ft ∙ lb.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a rectangular tank with dimension (10ft by 20ft by 16ft)

Then the volume of the tank is

Volume =length × breadth ×height

Volume=10×20×16=3200ft³

V=3200ft³

Then,

∆F= weight density × volume

∆F= 62.4×3200

∆F= 199,680 lb

Then,

Let the 0-point on the x-axis be at the bottom of the tank, so the level of the water ranges from x = 0 to x = 16ft. (It would just as well to let 0 be ground level and let x range from x = −26ft to x − 0.) Then a slice of water at level x is raised (26− x)ft

Then ∆x=(26-x)ft

Work is given as

W= -∫F∆xdx. From 0 to 16

W= -∫199,680(26-x)dx From 0 to 16

W=-199,680∫26-x dx From 0 to 16

W=-199,680 (26x-x²/2). From 0 to 16

W=-199,680(26×16-0.5×16² -0-0)

W=-199,680(288)

W=-57,507,840J

The work done to empty the tank is 57,507,840J

Answer:

2 X 10∧6 ft.lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular tank =  Base area X Height = (10 X 20 X 16)ft³ = 3200ft³

Mass of tank filled with water = 3200ft³ X 62.4 lb/ft³ = 199680lb or 90706.37kg

Hence, work done due to gravity,Δg = m * g * h, where, m = mass of tank, g = gravity = 9.8m/s² and h = height = 10ft or 3.05 meter(m)

∴ Δg = 90706.37 * 9.8 * 3.05 =  2.711 X10∧6 J or 2 X 10∧6 ft.lb

Suppose we randomly select 100 tweets.
(a) What is the expected number of these tweets with no reaction?
(b) What are the variance and standard deviation for the number of these tweets with no reaction?

Answers

Answer:

Expected Number=71

Variance =4959

Standard Deviation= 70.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected Number = E (x) = np

Here p = 0.71 and q= 1- 0.71= 0.29 n= 100

Expected Number = E (x) = np = 0.71*100= 71

b) The Variance and Standard Deviation for the number of these tweets with no reaction

Suppose the number of tweets are hundred then the number of tweets with no reaction would be 71 .

Variance = E(x²) - [E(x)]² =  (100)²- (71)²= 10000- 5041= 4959

Standard Deviation= √4959= 70.42

To find the margin of error and 95% confidence interval for the proportion of companies likely to require higher health care contributions, we use a sample proportion of 0.52 and a sample size of 1000 to calculate a standard error of 0.0158. Multiplying this by the z-value of 1.96 gives a margin of error of 0.0310. The 95% confidence interval is thus (0.4890, 0.5510).

Explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the margin of error and a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of companies likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage, based on a sample of 1,000 companies where 52% are likely to require higher contributions.

We start by identifying the sample proportion (p-hat) and the sample size (n):
p-hat = 0.52
n = 1000

The formula to calculate the standard error (SE) of the proportion is:
[tex]SE = \sqrt{((p-hat * (1 - p-hat)) / n)[/tex]

Using this formula, we calculate the SE:
[tex]SE = \sqrt{((0.52 * (1 - 0.52)) / 1000)[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{((0.52 * 0.48) / 1000)[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{(0.2496 / 1000)[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{(0.0002496)[/tex]
SE = 0.0158

Now we determine the z-value for a 95% confidence interval, which is commonly 1.96.

The margin of error (ME) is calculated by multiplying the z-value by the SE:
ME = z * SE
ME = 1.96 * 0.0158
ME = 0.0310

Finally, we calculate the 95% confidence interval with the formula:
(p-hat - ME, p-hat + ME)
(0.52 - 0.0310, 0.52 + 0.0310)
(0.4890, 0.5510)

Therefore, the margin of error is 0.0310 and the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of companies is (0.4890, 0.5510).

What is the probability that a randomly selected individual is more likely to buy a product emphasized as​ "Made in our​ country," given the individual is at least 55 years of​ age?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a person with at least 55 years is more likely to buy the product will be 31.12%

Step-by-step explanation:

The exercise gives a condition which decreases the table to particular rows. The condition is "more likely" to buy a product, we will only work with the row with the label is "more likely". Therefore, the denominator of our equation will be 1301.

The exercise asks for the probability that a person with at least 55 years given the condition. So, we have:

Probability = (405/1301) x100 = 31.12%

Answer:

0.727

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event can be estimated by taking the ratio of the number of times the events occur and the total number of possible outcomes. In the problem, the condition given is that the person is at least 55 years of age. Considering the column for 55+, the total number of people in the age bracket is 557 and 405 people are more likely to purchase the product. Thus, the probability is: 405/557 = 0.727.

A rectangle is growing such that the length of a rectangle is 5t+4 and its height is t4, where t is time in seconds and the dimensions are in inches. Find the rate of change of area, A, with respect to time. g

Answers

Answer:

Therefore the rate of change of area [tex]25t^4+16t^3[/tex] square inches/ s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A rectangle is growing such that the length of rectangle is(5t+4) and its height is t⁴.

Where t is in second and dimensions are in inches.

The area of a rectangle is = length× height

Therefore the area of the rectangle is

A(t) = (5t+4) t⁴

⇒A(t) = t⁴(5t+4)

To find the rate change of area we need to find out the first order derivative of the area.

Rules:

[tex](1)\frac{dx^n}{dx} = nx^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex](2) \frac{d}{dx}(f(x) .g(x))= f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x)[/tex]

A(t) = t⁴(5t+4)

Differentiate with respect to t

[tex]\frac{d}{dt} A(t)=\frac{d}{dt} [t^4(5t+4][/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dA(t)}{dt} =(5t+4)\frac{dt^4}{dt} +t^4\frac{d}{dt} (5t+4)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dA(t)}{dt} = (5t+4)4t^{4-1}+t^4.5[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dA(t)}{dt} =4t^3(5t+4)+5t^4[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dA(t)}{dt} = 20t^4+16t^3+5t^4[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dA(t)}{dt} = 25t^4+16t^3[/tex]

Therefore the rate of change of area [tex]25t^4+16t^3[/tex] square inches/ s

Final answer:

The rate of change of the rectangle's area, with respect to time, is obtained by differentiating the expression for the area with respect to time. Using the product rule, the derivative is found to be (5t4 + 4t3)(5+4t) inches per second.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is primarily calculus, focusing on the concept of derivatives and rates of change. The area, A, of the rectangle can be found by multiplying the length by the height, hence A = (5t+4)t4. To find the rate of change of area with respect to time, we differentiate A with respect to time, t. This gives us the derivative dA/dt = d/dt [(5t+4)t4]. Using the product rule for differentiation (uv)' = u'v + uv', we find dA/dt = (5t4 + 4t3)(5+4t). Hence, the rate of change of the area with respect to time is (5t4 + 4t3)(5+4t) inches per second.

The perimeter is 50 ft and the length is 15 ft.
What's the width?

Answers

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume it's a rectangle, therefore:

P = 50

a = 15 ft

b = ?

P = 2a + 2b

50 = 2 * 15 + 2b

50 = 30 + 2b

2b = 50 - 30

2b = 20

b = 10

he labor force participation rate is the number of people in the labor force divided by the number of people in the country who are of working age and not institutionalized. The BLS reported in February 2012 that the labor force participation rate in the United States was 63.7% (Calculatedrisk). A marketing company asks 120 working-age people if they either have a job or are looking for a job, or, in other words, whether they are in the labor force. What is the probability that fewer than 60% of those surveyed are members of the labor force?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] z= \frac{0.6-0.637}{0.0439} =-0.843[/tex]

So then we can find the probability like this:

[tex]P(p<0.6) = P(Z<-0.843)[/tex]

And using the normal standard table or excel we got:

[tex]P(p<0.6) = P(Z<-0.843)=0.1996[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can check if we can use the normal approximation for the proportion and we have this:

[tex] np = 120*0.637 =76.44 >10[/tex]

[tex] n(1-p) = 120*(1-0.637) = 43.56>10[/tex]

Then we can conclude that we can use the normal approximation. And we have this:

[tex] p\sim N (p, \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})[/tex]

So the mean is given by:

[tex]\mu_p = 0.637[/tex]

And the deviation is given by:

[tex]\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.637*(1-0.637)}{120}}= 0.0439[/tex]

And for this case we want to find this probability:

[tex] P( p<0.6)[/tex]

And we can use the z score given by:

[tex] z = \frac{p -\mu}{\sigma_p}[/tex]

And for this case the z score is:

[tex] z= \frac{0.6-0.637}{0.0439} =-0.843[/tex]

So then we can find the probability like this:

[tex]P(p<0.6) = P(Z<-0.843)[/tex]

And using the normal standard table or excel we got:

[tex]P(p<0.6) = P(Z<-0.843)=0.1996[/tex]
