Answer: the distance between the the police station and the fire station is 4 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance between the library and the police station.
Let y represent the distance between the the police station and the fires station.
In the city, the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station. This is expressed as
x = 2y - 3
The distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles. This means that
5 = 2y - 3
2y = 5 + 3 = 8
y = 8/2 = 4
7. Calculate the distance Derek rows
his boat if he rows a mile each day
for 11 days.
A commuter has to cross a train track each day on the way to work. The probability of having to wait for a train is .2. If she has to wait for a train, her commute takes 25 minutes; otherwise, it takes 20 minutes. What is her expected commute time?
Answer:
21 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Her expected commute time is given by the probability of having to wait for the train (0.2) multiplied by the commute time in this scenario (25 min), added to the probability of not having to wait for the train (1 - 0.2) multiplied by the commute time in this scenario (20 min). The expected commute time is:
[tex]E(X) = 0.2*25+(1-0.2)*20\\E(X) = 21\ minutes[/tex]
Her expected commute time is 21 minutes.
Nella drove from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to the Garden of the Gods rock formation in Colorado Springs. It took her six hours to travel 312 miles over the mountain road. She came home on the highway. On the highway she took fve hours to travel 320 miles. How fast did she travel using the mountain route? How much faster (in miles per hour) did she travel using the highway route?
Answer:
Her speed on the mountain route was 52 miles per hour.
She travelled 12 miles per hour faster on the highway route.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed is given by distance ÷ time taken
On the mountain,
distance = 312 miles
time = 6 hours
speed = 312 ÷ 6 = 52 miles per hour
On the highway,
distance = 320 miles
time = hours
speed = 320 ÷ 5 = 64 miles per hour
This is greater than the mountain route speed by 64 - 52 = 12 miles per hour.
Answer:
Speed at mountain route = 52 miles/hour
Speed at highway route = 64 miles/hour
Difference in speed = 12 miles/hour
Difference in speed = 18.75 % greater than mountain route
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know the speed is given by
Speed = Distance/time
Albuquerque to New Mexico using mountain route:
Speed = 312/6
Speed = 52 miles/hour
Albuquerque to New Mexico using highway route:
Speed = 320/5
Speed = 64 miles/hour
Difference in speed:
difference = 64 - 52 = 12 miles/hours
difference = 12/64*100 = 18.75 %
Therefore, Nella's speed at the highway route was 12 miles/hour greater than her speed at the mountain route.
Nella's speed at the highway route was 18.75 % greater than the speed at mountain route.
A company says its premium mixture of nuts contains 13% Brazil nuts, 19% cashews, 17% almonds, and 8% hazelnuts, and the rest are peanuts. You buy a large can and separate the various kinds of nuts. Upon weighing them, you find there are 111 grams of Brazil nuts, 183 grams of cashews, 209 grams of almonds, 79 grams of hazelnuts, and 437 grams of peanuts. You wonder whether your mix is significantly different from what the company advertises.
a) Explain why the chi-square goodness-of-fit test is not an appropriate way to find out.
b) What might you do instead of weighing the nuts in order to use a
X2
test?
Final answer:
The chi-square goodness-of-fit test is inappropriate for the nut mixture scenario due to the data being continuous (weights) rather than categorical counts. Counting the nuts instead of weighing them could make the test applicable.
Explanation:
The question concerns whether a chi-square goodness-of-fit test is appropriate for analyzing if the mix of nuts purchased differs significantly from what the company advertises.
a) The chi-square goodness-of-fit test is not suitable in this scenario because it requires categorical data representing frequencies or counts of categories, whereas the data provided are weights of different categories of nuts. This test is designed for count data, not continuous data like weights.
b) Instead of weighing the nuts, one could count the number of individual nuts in each category. This would convert the data into a suitable form for a chi-square test since you would be working with counts of items (nuts in each category) rather than their weights, aligning with the test's requirements for categorical frequency data.
Speedy Oil provides a single-server automobile oil change and lubrication service. Customers provide an arrival rate of 2.5 cars per hour. The service rate is 5 cars per hour. Assume that arrivals follow a Poisson probability distribution and that service times follow an exponential probability distribution.
If required, round your answer to the nearest whole number.
(a) What is the average number of cars in the system?
(b) What is the average time that a car waits for the oil and lubrication service to begin?
(c) What is the average time a car spends in the system?
(d) What is the probability that an arrival has to wait for service?
Answer:
(a) Average number of cars in the system is 1
(b) Average time a car waits is 12 minutes
(c) Average time a car spends in the system is 2 minutes
(d) Probability that an arrival has to wait for service is 0.08.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following
Arrival Rate, A = 2.5
Service Rate B = 5
(a) Average Number of Cars in the System is determined by dividing the Arrival Rate A by the difference between the Service Rate B, and Arrival Rate A.
Average number of cars = A/(B - A)
= 2.5/(5 - 2.5)
= 2.5/2.5 = 1
There is an average of 1 car.
(b) Average time a car waits = A/B(B - A)
= 2.5/5(5 - 2.5)
= 2.5/(5 × 2.5)
= 2.5/12.5
= 1/5
= 0.20 hours
Which is 12 minutes
(c) Average time a car spends in the system is the ratio of the average time a car waits to the service rate.
Average time = 0.2/5
= 0.04 hours
= 2.4 minutes
Which is approximately 2 minutes.
(d) Probability that an arrival has to wait for service is the ratio of the average time a car waits to rate of arrivals.
Probability = 0.2/2.5
= 0.08
The average number of cars in the system can be found using Little's Law. The average time a car waits for the oil and lubrication service to begin is half of the average time in the system. The probability that an arrival has to wait for service is obtained by dividing the arrival rate by the service rate.
Explanation:(a) To find the average number of cars in the system, we can use Little's Law. Little's Law states that the average number of cars in the system (L) equals the arrival rate (λ) multiplied by the average time a car spends in the system (W). In this case, λ = 2.5 cars per hour and the service rate (μ) = 5 cars per hour.
So, L = λ * W. Rearranging the formula, W = L / λ. Substituting the values, W = (2.5 / 5) = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.
(b) The average time that a car waits for the oil and lubrication service to begin is equal to half of the average time a car spends in the system, which is 30 minutes.
(c) The average time a car spends in the system is equal to the average waiting time plus the average service time. The average service time (1/μ) in this case is 1/5 hour or 12 minutes. Therefore, the average time a car spends in the system is 30 minutes + 12 minutes = 42 minutes.
(d) To find the probability that an arrival has to wait for service, we can use the formula P(wait) = λ / μ = 2.5 / 5 = 0.5 or 50%

Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 6.9 per year. a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes. b. In a 45-year period, how many years are expected to have 4 hurricanes? c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of 45 years in which 4 years had 4 hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here? a. The probability is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Answer:
a) 9.52% probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.
b) 4.284 years are expected to have 4 hurricanes.
c) The value of 4 is very close to the expected value of 4.284, so the Poisson distribution works well here.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given time interval.
6.9 per year.
This means that [tex]\mu = 6.9[/tex]
a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.
This is P(X = 4).
So
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-6.9}*(6.9)^{4}}{(4)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.0952[/tex]
9.52% probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.
b. In a 45-year period, how many years are expected to have 4 hurricanes?
For each year, the probability is 0.0952.
Multiplying by 45
45*0.0952 = 4.284.
4.284 years are expected to have 4 hurricanes.
c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of 45 years in which 4 years had 4 hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here?
The value of 4 is very close to the expected value of 4.284, so the Poisson distribution works well here.

b. 30 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday
c. between 25 and 35 will live beyond their 90th birthday
d. more than 40 will live beyond their 90th birthday
Answer:
a) Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] ≈ 0.9944
b) Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] ≈ 0.3182
c) Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] ≈ 0.6623
d) Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] ≈ 0.0046
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Total sample size n = 745
- The probability of success p = 0.037
- The probability of failure q = 0.963
Find:
a. 15 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday
b. 30 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday
c. between 25 and 35 will live beyond their 90th birthday
d. more than 40 will live beyond their 90th birthday
Solution:
- The condition for normal approximation to binomial distribution:
n*p = 745*0.037 = 27.565 > 5
n*q = 745*0.963 = 717.435 > 5
Normal Approximation is valid.
a) P ( X >= 15 ) ?
- Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:
Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] = N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ]
- Then the parameters u mean and σ standard deviation for normal distribution are:
u = n*p = 27.565
σ = sqrt ( n*p*q ) = sqrt ( 745*0.037*0.963 ) = 5.1522
- The random variable has approximated normal distribution as follows:
X~N ( 27.565 , 5.1522^2 )
- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:
N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= (14.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )
N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= -2.5358 )
- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:
P ( Z >= -2.5358 ) = 0.9944
N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= -2.5358 ) = 0.9944
Hence,
Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] ≈ 0.9944
b) P ( X >= 30 ) ?
- Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:
Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] = N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ]
- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:
N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= (29.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )
N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= 0.37556 )
- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:
P ( Z >= 0.37556 ) = 0.3182
N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= 0.37556 ) = 0.3182
Hence,
Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] ≈ 0.3182
c) P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ?
- Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:
Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] = N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]
- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:
N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]= P ( (24.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 =<Z =< (35.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )
N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 25.5 ) ] = P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 )
- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:
P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 ) = 0.6623
N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]= P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 ) = 0.6623
Hence,
Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] ≈ 0.6623
d) P ( X > 40 ) ?
- Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:
Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] = N [ P ( X > 41 ) ]
- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:
N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] = P ( Z > (41 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )
N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] = P ( Z > 2.60762 )
- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:
P ( Z > 2.60762 ) = 0.0046
N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] = P ( Z > 2.60762 ) = 0.0046
Hence,
Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] ≈ 0.0046
Using the normal approximation to binomial is appropriate for the given problem. To find probabilities, we calculate the mean and standard deviation of the binomial, then calculate the z-scores and use the normal distribution to estimate the required probabilities for each case.
Explanation:To determine if it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution, we must confirm that both np and n(1-p) are greater than 5, where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success. For a class of 745 students and probability of living past 90 being 3.7%, we have:
np = 745 * 0.037 = 27.565n(1-p) = 745 * (1 - 0.037) = 717.435Since both values are greater than 5, we can proceed with the normal approximation.
Calculations using Normal Approximation:
a. To find the probability of 15 or more students living past 90, we calculate the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) for the binomial distribution:
μ = np = 27.565σ = √(np(1-p)) = √(27.565*0.963) ≈ 5.15Next, we find the z-score for 14.5 (since we need more than 15, we use the continuity correction factor of 0.5) and use the standard normal distribution to estimate the probability:
P(X ≥ 15) = 1 - P(X < 15) = 1 - P(Z < (14.5 - μ) / σ)
b. - d. The procedure is similar for parts b, c, and d: calculate the z-scores for the respective values using the binomial mean and standard deviation, and then use the normal distribution to find the probabilities. Based on these calculations, we can provide the required estimates.
Benedict Company leased equipment to Mark Inc. on January 1, 2017. The lease is for an eight-year period, expiring December 31, 2024. The first of eight equal annual payments of $600,000 was made on January 1, 2017. Benedict had purchased the equipment on December 29, 2016, for $3,200,000. The lease is appropriately accounted for as a sales-type lease by Benedict. Assume that at January 1, 2017, the present value of all rental payments over the lease term discounted at a 10% interest rate was $3,520,000.
Answer:
From the calculation the interest income in 2018 = 10% of $2,612,000= $261,200
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question states:
What amount of interest income should Benedict record in 2018 (the second year of the lease period) as a result of the lease?
To answer the question, we look at the given information
The present value given = $3,520,000
The Annual Instalmental payments = $600,000
The Period is 8 years and teh given interest rate at 10%
Based on the information we prepare the following schedule
Year 0 = Instalment + interest = Principal
$600,000 + 0 (interest) = $600,000
Balance = Present value- Principal
Balance = $3520,000 - $600,000 = $2,920,000
Year 1 (2017) = Instalment + interest = Principal
$600,000 + $292,000 (10% of $2,920,000) = $308,000
Balance = Present value- Principal
Balance = $2,920,000- $308,000= $2,612,000
Year 2 (2018) = Instalment + interest = Principal
$600,000 + $261,200(10% of $2,612,000) = $338,000
Balance = Present value- Principal
Balance = $2,612,000- $338,000= $2,350,800
From the calculation the interest income in 2018 = 10% of $2,612,000= $261,200
3.30 Survey response rate. Pew Research reported in 2012 that the typical response rate to their surveys is only 9%. If for a particular survey 15,000 households are contacted, what is the probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond
Answer:
0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
In this problem, we have that:
[tex]n = 15000, p = 0.09[/tex]
So
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 15000*0.09 = 1350[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{15000*0.09*0.91} = 35.05[/tex]
What is the probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1500-1 = 1499. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{1499 - 1350}{35.05}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 4.25[/tex]
[tex]Z = 4.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 1.
1 - 1 = 0
0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond
The probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond is 0.000009.
How to calculate the probabilityFrom the information given,
n = 15000
p = 0.09
Therefore, np = 15000 × 0.09
= 1350
nq = 15000 × (0.91)
= 13650
The probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond will be:
= 1 - P (Z < (1500 - 1350)/35.05]
= 1 - P(Z < 4.2796)
= 0.000009

Since it is mentioned here that the majority decoding is used so it implies that if the message is decoded as zero if there have been minimum of 3 Zeros in the messgae.
As we can see that there have been 5 bits, so the incorrection will occur only if there have been atleast 3 incorrect bits. Here we are asked to find out the probability of receiveing the signal incorrectly so i will take incorrectly transmiited bit as "Success".
The binomial distribution gives the probability of exactly m successes in n trials where the probability of each individual trial succeeding is p.
With this method, we get the following pattern,
Binomial at (m=3, n=5, p=0.2) for probability of incorrection due to exactly 3 fails,
Binomial at (m=4, n=5, p=0.2) for probability of incorrection due to exactly 4 fails,
Binomial at (m=5 ,n=5, p=0.2) for probability of incorrection due to exactly 5 fails.
hence the probability "P" of receiving the signal incorrectly will be,
P=(⁵₃) p³ (1 − p)⁵⁻³ + (⁵₄) p⁴(1 − p)⁴⁻³ + (⁵₅) p³(1 − p)³⁻³
whereas,
(⁵₃)= 5! / (5-3)! = 10
(⁵₄)= 5! / (5-4)! = 5
(⁵₅)= 5! / (5-5)! = 1
Putting these values in above equation we get,
P= 10 (0.2)³(1-0.2)² + 5(0.2)⁴(1-0.2)¹ + (0.2)⁵
P=.05792
So the probablility "P" of receiving the signal incorrectly becomes ".05792"
In the 2009 General Social Survey, respondents were asked if they favored or opposed death penalty for people convicted of murder. The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion who were in favor (say, p) was (0.65, 0.69). For the above data, the 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of respondents who were opposed to the death penalty would be narrower than the one your derived above
Answer:
The calculated 99% confidence interval is wider than the 95% confidence interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
95% confidence interval for the population proportion
(0.65, 0.69)
Let [tex]\hat{p}[/tex] be the sample proportion
Confidence interval:
[tex]p \pm z_{stat}(\text{Standard error})[/tex]
[tex]z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96[/tex]
Let x be the standard error, then, we can write
[tex]\hat{p} - 1.96x = 0.65\\\hat{p}+1.96x = 0.69[/tex]
Solving the two equations, we get,
[tex]2\hat{p} = 0.65 + 0.69\\\\\hat{p} = \dfrac{1.34}{2} = 0.67\\\\x = \dfrac{0.69 - 0.67}{1.96} \approx 0.01[/tex]
99% Confidence interval:
[tex]p \pm z_{stat}(\text{Standard error})[/tex]
[tex]z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = 2.58[/tex]
Putting values, we get,
[tex]0.67 \pm 2.58(0.01)\\=0.67 \pm 0.0258\\=(0.6442,0.6958)[/tex]
Thus, the calculated 99% confidence interval is wider than the 95% confidence interval .
g Two players each put one dollar into a pot. They decide to throw a pair of dice alternately. The first one who throws the two dice so that the sum of the two faces is five (5) wins the pot. How much should the player who starts add to the pot to make the game a ‘fair game’? Give your answer as a fraction in reduced form (i.e. A/B where A and B do not share any common factors). Note: A ‘fair game’ would be one where the expected payment to each player is equal
Answer:
The first player should add 1/8 more dollar to the pot
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that the first player wins on the first turn is equivalent to the probability of getting 5 in the dices. Out of the 36 possible outcomes for a dice, only 4 are favourable in the event of obtaining 5 in the sum:
- first dice 1, second dice 4
- first dice 2, second dice 3
- first dice 3, second dice 2
- first dice 4, second dice 1
Thus, the probability that the first player wins on the first turn is 4/36 = 1/9.
Note that if the first player doesnt win in the first turn, then the second player will be at the same position the first player was at the start of the game. If we call P the probability that the first player wins, then, the second player will have a probability of P of winning after 'surviving' on the first turn.
As a result, the probability that the second player wins is P multiplied by 8/9 (the probability that the first player doenst win in the first turn). In short
Probability that the first player wins = P
Probability that the second player wins = 8/9 * P
Since the sum should be 1 (because both events are complementary from each other), then P + P*8/9 = 1, thus
17/9 P = 1
P = 9/17
Lets call E the extra amount of money player A should include into the pot (in dollard). We have that both players should have expected gain equal to 0, and we have that
- First player gains 1 if he wins (with probability 9/17)
- First player gains -1-E if the loses (with probability 8/17)
Therefore
9/17*1+ 8/17 (-1-E) = 0
9/17 = 8/17 + E 8/17
E = (1/17) / (8/17) = 1/8
The first player should add 1/8 more dollar to the pot.

Tutorial Exercise A particle is moved along the x-axis by a force that measures 9/(6 x) pounds at a point x feet from the origin. Find the work W done in moving the particle from the origin to a distance of 12 ft.
Answer:
5.0 ft-lbf
Step-by-step explanation:
The force is
[tex]F = \dfrac{9}{6^x}[/tex]
This force is not a constant force. For a non-constant force, the work done, W, is
[tex]W = \int\limits^{x_2}_{x_1} {F(x)} \, dx[/tex]
with [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]x_2[/tex] the initial and final displacements respectively.
From the question, [tex]x_1 =0[/tex] and [tex]x_2 = 12[/tex].
Then
[tex]W = \int\limits^{12}_0 {\dfrac{9}{6^x}} \, dx[/tex]
Evaluating the indefinite integral,
[tex]\int\limits \dfrac{9}{6^x} \, dx =9 \int\limits\!\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^x \, dx[/tex]
From the rules of integration,
[tex]\int\limits a^x\, dx = \dfrac{a^x}{\ln a}[/tex]
[tex]9 \int\limits \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^x \, dx = 9\times\dfrac{(1/6)^x}{\ln(1/6)} = -5.0229\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^x[/tex]
Returning the limits,
[tex]\left.-5.0229\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^x\right|^{12}_0 = -5.0229(0.1667^{12} - 0.1667^0) = 5.0229 \approx 5.0 \text{ ft-lbf}[/tex]
More defective components: A lot of 1060 components contains 229 that are defective. Two components are drawn at random and tested. Let A be the event that the first component drawn is defective, and let B be the event that the second component drawn is defective. Write your answer as a fraction or a decimal, rounded to four decimal places.?Explain.
Answer:
The probability of event A is 0.2160.
The probability of event B is 0.2153.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the random variable X is defined as the number of defective components in a lot.
It is provided that of the 1060 component 229 are defective.
The probability of selecting a defective component is:
[tex]P(X)=\frac{229}{1060}=0.2160[/tex]
The proportion of defective components in a lot of 1060 is 0.2160.
It is provided that two components are selected to be tested.
Assuming the selection were without replacement.
A = the first component drawn is defective
B = the second component drawn is defective
Compute the probability of event A:The probability of selecting a defective component from the entire lot
of 1060 component is 0.2160.
Thus, the probability of event A is 0.2160.
Compute the probability of event B:According to event A, the first component selected was defective.
So now there are 228 defective components among 1059
components.
[tex]P(B)=\frac{228}{1059}= 0.2153[/tex]
Thus, the probability of event B is 0.2153.
Both the probabilities are almost same.
This implies that the probability of selecting a defective component from the entire population of these components is approximately 0.2160.
Answer:
Required Probability = 0.0467
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a lot of 1060 components contains 229 that are defective.
Two components are drawn at random and tested.
A = event that the first component drawn is defective
B = event that the second component drawn is defective
So,P(first component drawn is defective,A)=(No. of defective component)÷
(Total components)
P(A) = 229/1060
Similarly, P(second component drawn is defective,A) = 229/1060
Therefore, P(both component drawn defective) = [tex]\frac{229}{1060} * \frac{229}{1060}[/tex] = 0.0467 .
An alarming number of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese. The distinction between overweight and obese is made on the basis of body mass index (BMI), expressed as weight/height2. An adult is considered overweight if the BMI is 25 or more but less than 30. An obese adult will have a BMI of 30 or greater. According to a January 2012 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 33.1% of the adult population in the United States is overweight and 35.7% is obese. Use this information to answer the following questions.A. What is the probability that a randomly selected adult is either overweight or obese? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)B. What is the probability that a randomly selected adult is neither overweight nor obese? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)C. Are the events "overweight" and "obese" exhaustive?D. Are the events "overweight" and "obese" mutually exclusive?
Answer:
(A) The probability that a randomly selected adult is either overweight or obese is 0.688.
(B) The probability that a randomly selected adult is neither overweight nor obese is 0.312.
(C) The events "overweight" and "obese" exhaustive.
(D) The events "overweight" and "obese" mutually exclusive.
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote the events as follows:
X = a person is overweight
Y = a person is obese.
The information provided is:
A person is overweight if they have BMI 25 or more but below 30.
A person is obese if they have BMI 30 or more.
P (X) = 0.331
P (Y) = 0.357
(A)
The events of a person being overweight or obese cannot occur together.
Since if a person is overweight they have (25 ≤ BMI < 30) and if they are obese they have BMI ≥ 30.
So, P (X ∩ Y) = 0.
Compute the probability that a randomly selected adult is either overweight or obese as follows:
[tex]P(X\cup Y)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(X\cap Y)\\=0.331+0.357-0\\=0.688[/tex]
Thus, the probability that a randomly selected adult is either overweight or obese is 0.688.
(B)
Commute the probability that a randomly selected adult is neither overweight nor obese as follows:
[tex]P(X^{c}\cup Y^{c})=1-P(X\cup Y)\\=1-0.688\\=0.312[/tex]
Thus, the probability that a randomly selected adult is neither overweight nor obese is 0.312.
(C)
If two events cannot occur together, but they form a sample space when combined are known as exhaustive events.
For example, flip of coin. On a flip of a coin, the flip turns as either Heads or Tails but never both. But together the event of getting a Heads and Tails form a sample space of a single flip of a coin.
In this case also, together the event of a person being overweight or obese forms a sample space of people who are heavier in general.
Thus, the events "overweight" and "obese" exhaustive.
(D)
Mutually exclusive events are those events that cannot occur at the same time.
The events of a person being overweight and obese are mutually exclusive.
Suppose that we examine the relationship between high school GPA and college GPA. We collect data from students at a local college and find that there is a strong, positive, linear association between the variables. The linear regression predicted college GPA = 1.07 + 0.62 * high school GPA. The standard error of the regression, se, was 0.374. What does this value of the standard error of the regression tell us?
Answer:
The typical error between a predicted college GPA using this regression model and an actual college GPA for a given student will be about 0.374 grade points in size (absolute value).
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear regression line for College GPA based on High school GPA is:
College GPA = 1.07 + 0.62 High-school GPA
It is provided that the standard error of the regression line is,
[tex]s_{e}=0.374[/tex]
The standard error of a regression line is the average distance between the predicted value and the regression equation.
It is the square root of the average squared deviations.
It is also known as the standard error of estimate.
The standard error of 0.374 implies that:
The typical error between a predicted college GPA using this regression model and an actual college GPA for a given student will be about 0.374 grade points in size (absolute value).
The standard error of the regression tells us the average amount that the actual college GPA deviates from the predicted college GPA. A smaller standard error indicates a better fit of the model to the data. In this case, the small standard error suggests that the linear regression model provides a good prediction of college GPA based on high school GPA for the students at the local college.
Explanation:The standard error of the regression tells us the average amount that the actual college GPA deviates from the predicted college GPA based on the high school GPA. In this case, the standard error of the regression is 0.374. This means that, on average, the actual college GPA for a student deviates from the predicted college GPA by approximately 0.374.
This value gives us an idea of the accuracy of the linear regression model in predicting college GPA based on high school GPA. A smaller standard error indicates a better fit of the model to the data, implying that the predicted college GPA is closer to the actual college GPA. Conversely, a larger standard error suggests that the model's predictions are less accurate.
In this case, the standard error of the regression is relatively small (0.374), which indicates that the linear regression model provides a good prediction of college GPA based on high school GPA for the students at the local college.

What capacity (gal/min) pump would you rent to (a) keep the water accumulated in your basement at a constant level until the storm sewer is blocked off, and (b) reduce the water accumulation in your basement at a rate of 3 in./hr even while the backup problem exists
Answer: a) 10.35gal/min
b) 41.52gal/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us first determine the volume of the container.
Find the attached file for solution
To keep the water accumulated in your basement at a constant level until the storm sewer is blocked off, you would need to rent a pump with a capacity of 21.19 gallons per minute. To reduce the water accumulation in your basement at a rate of 3 inches per hour, you would need to rent a pump with a capacity of 63.57 gallons per minute.
Explanation:To keep the water accumulated in your basement at a constant level until the storm sewer is blocked off, you would need a pump that can remove water at the same rate it is flooding. In this case, the rate of flooding is 1 inch of depth per hour, which is equivalent to 2.54 cm/hour.
To convert this to gallons per minute, we need to use the fact that 1 gallon is approximately 3.78541 liters and 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds. So, the conversion factor is: 1000 cm² * (2.54 cm/hour) * (1 gallon / 3.78541 liters) * (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 21.18974 gallons per minute.
To reduce the water accumulation in your basement at a rate of 3 inches per hour, you would need a pump that can remove water at that rate. Following the same conversion factor as before, we get: 1000 cm² * (7.62 cm / hour) * (1 gallon / 3.78541 liters) * (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 63.56922 gallons per minute.

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

It appears that the question is incomplete but the answer to the part given is as below.
Answer:
(a) 0.0313
Step-by-step explanation:
In a normal distribution curve, the mean divides the curve into two equal parts. Hence, the probability of being lesser or higher than the mean is 1/2. This is the probability for a single day.
From the question, the probability of a day is independent of that of another day. For 5 days, the probability is

he one‑sample t statistic from a sample of n = 23 observations for the two‑sided test of H 0 : μ = 15 versus H α : μ > 15 has the value t = 2.24 . Based on this information: 0.01 < P ‑ value < 0.025 and we would reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.025 are both correct. P ‑ value > 0.1 . we would reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.025 . 0.01 < P ‑ value < 0.025 .
Answer:
[tex] t = 2.24[/tex]
The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:
[tex]df=n-1=23-1=22[/tex]
Since is a one side right tailed test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(22)}>2.24)=0.01776[/tex]
And for this case we can conclude that:
[tex] 0.01 < p_v < 0.025[/tex]
And we will reject the null hypothesis at [tex] \alpha=0.025[/tex] since [tex] p_v < \alpha[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
[tex]\bar X[/tex] represent the mean height for the sample
[tex]s[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation
[tex]n=23[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =15[/tex] represent the value that we want to 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 15, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 15[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 15[/tex]
If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but 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
For this case the statistic is given:
[tex] t = 2.24[/tex]
P-value
The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:
[tex]df=n-1=23-1=22[/tex]
Since is a one side right tailed test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(22)}>2.24)=0.01776[/tex]
And for this case we can conclude that:
[tex] 0.01 < p_v < 0.025[/tex]
And we will reject the null hypothesis at [tex] \alpha=0.025[/tex] since [tex] p_v < \alpha[/tex]
With a one-sample t-test (t = 2.24, n = 23) for H0: μ = 15 vs. Hα: μ > 15, P-value (0.01 < P < 0.025) supports rejecting the null at α = 0.025. The claim "P-value > 0.1" is incorrect.
Based on the given information, we have a one-sample t statistic from a sample of n = 23 observations for the two-sided test of H0: μ = 15 versus Hα: μ > 15, with a t value of 2.24.
To determine the P-value, we compare the t value to a t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom. In this case, since we have n = 23 observations, we would compare the t value of 2.24 to the t-distribution with 22 degrees of freedom.
The P-value is the probability of observing a t value as extreme as 2.24 or more extreme, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
Now, let's evaluate the given statements:
1. "0.01 < P-value < 0.025 and we would reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.025 are both correct."
Since the P-value is between 0.01 and 0.025, it falls within the critical region for α = 0.025. This means that the P-value is smaller than α, so we would reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.025. Therefore, the statement is correct.
2. "P-value > 0.1. We would reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.025."
Since the given P-value is not greater than 0.1, this statement is incorrect. If the P-value is larger than the significance level α (in this case, 0.025), we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. In other words, we do not have enough evidence to conclude that the population mean is greater than 15.
Based on the above analysis, the correct statement is:
- "0.01 < P-value < 0.025 and we would reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.025 are both correct."
It is important to note that the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis depends on the chosen significance level α and the P-value. The P-value measures the strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis, while the significance level determines the threshold for rejecting the null hypothesis.

An English teacher needs to pick 10 books to put on her reading list for the next school year, and she needs to plan the order in which they should be read. She has narrowed down her choices to 4 novels, 6 plays, 8 poetry books, and 4 nonfiction books. Step 1 of 2: If she wants to include no more than 3 poetry books, how many different reading schedules are possible? Express your answer in scientific notation rounding to the hundredths place. Answer Tables II Keypa a x10
Calculating the number of different reading schedules an English teacher can create involves combining and permuting selections of novels, plays, poetry (up to 3), and nonfiction books from a list.
It entails calculating the combinations of books and then the permutations for the order of reading.
Detailed mathematical operations lead to the solution, expressed in scientific notation.
Explanation:The task is to determine the number of different reading schedules possible if an English teacher selects 10 books out of a potential 22 books (4 novels, 6 plays, 8 poetry books with a restriction of choosing no more than 3, and 4 nonfiction books) to include on her reading list for the next school year, planning the order in which they should be read.
Understanding the problem involves calculating combinations and permutations.
There are two steps to solve this problem:
First, calculate the total possible combinations of selecting 10 books when up to 3 can be poetry books. This includes considering combinations of all other types of books as well.Second, calculate the permutations of these combinations to determine the order in which the books can be read.Consider the constraint on the poetry books:
Selecting 0 to 3 poetry books out of 8, we have Σ from i=0 to 3 of C(8, i); where C(n, k) is the number of combinations of n items taken k at a time.For the remaining books (4 novels, 6 plays, 4 nonfiction), we must select enough to total 10 books including the poetry books selected. This means selecting from 7 to 10 books out of 14, as we can select 0, 1, 2, or 3 poetry books respectively.The next step combines these selections and calculates the permutations of each combination to arrange them in order.
Due to the complexity and lengthiness of full calculations, and presentational limitations, detailed computations for each step are not displayed here.
However, using combinations and permutations formulas, one can calculate the total number of different reading schedules and express this number in scientific notation rounding to the hundredths place as requested.

Step-by-step explanation: A Chi Squared Statistics is a Statistical technique or test measure that determines how an expectation compares to actual observation. Chi squared Statistics data is expected to have the following features
Such as the data must be RAW, RANDOM, MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, OBTAINED FROM INDEPENDENT VARIABLES, AND LARGE SAMPLES WHICH WILL BE ENOUGH.
the survey of one hundred adults from each ethnic/racial groups means the data possess all the characters of a Chi Squared Statistics or test measure.
For ANOVA, the test statistic is called an ____ test statistic (also called a ____-ratio), which is the variance (2) samples (a.k.a., variation due to treatment) divided by the variance (3) samples (a.k.a., variation due to error or chance).
The test statistic for ANOVA is called an F test statistic (or F-ratio), which is calculated by dividing the variance between the samples by the variance within the samples.

The F statistic follows an F distribution with (number of groups - 1) as the numerator degrees of freedom and (number of observations - number of groups) as the denominator degrees of freedom.
For ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), the test statistic is called an F test statistic (also called an F-ratio), which is the variance between samples (a.k.a., variation due to treatment) divided by the variance within samples (a.k.a., variation due to error or chance).

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
ANOVA is a statistical method used to compare the means of three or more samples to see if at least one of them is significantly different from the others. It does this by analyzing the variances within the data.
F-Test Statistic
The test statistic used in ANOVA is called the F-test statistic or the F-ratio. This F-ratio helps to determine whether the variances between the sample means are significantly larger than the variances within the samples. The F-ratio is calculated as follows:
[tex]\[ F = \frac{\text{variance between samples}}{\text{variance within samples}} \][/tex]
Variance Between Samples
The variance between samples (also known as between-group variance or treatment variance) measures the variability among the sample means. This variability reflects how much the group means differ from the overall mean. If the group means are very different from each other, the between-group variance will be large. This part of the variance is often attributed to the effect of the different treatments or conditions being compared.

Variance Within Samples
The variance within samples (also known as within-group variance or error variance) measures the variability within each of the groups. This variability reflects how much the individual data points within each group differ from their respective group mean. This part of the variance is usually attributed to random error or chance.
- Blank (3): The term used here is within.
In the context of ANOVA:
- The F-test statistic (F-ratio) is used to compare the variance between samples to the variance within samples.
- The variance between samples represents the variation due to treatment.
- The variance within samples represents the variation due to error or chance.

Suppose the area that can be painted using a single can of spray paint is slightly variable and follows a nearly normal distribution with a mean of 25 square feet and a standard deviation of 3 square feet.
(a) What is the probability that the area covered by a can of spray paint is more than 27 square feet?
(b) Suppose you want to spray paint an area of 540 square feet using 20 cans of spray paint. On average, how many square feet must each can be able to cover to spray paint all 540 square feet?
(c) What is the probability that you can cover a 540 square feet area using 20 cans of spray paint?
(d) If the area covered by a can of spray paint had a slightly skewed distribution, could you still calculate the probabilities in parts (a) and (c) using the normal distribution?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
You have the variable
X: Area that can be painted with a can of spray paint (feet²)
The variable has a normal distribution with mean μ= 25 feet² and standard deviation δ= 3 feet²
since the variable has a normal distribution, you have to convert it to standard normal distribution to be able to use the tabulated accumulated probabilities.
a.
P(X>27)
First step is to standardize the value of X using Z= (X-μ)/ δ ~N(0;1)
P(Z>(27-25)/3)
P(Z>0.67)
Now that you have the corresponding Z value you can look for it in the table, but since tha table has probabilities of [tex]P(Z<Z_{\alpha })[/tex], you have to do the following conervertion:
P(Z>0.67)= 1 - P(Z≤0.67)= 1 - 0.74857= 0.25143
b.
There was a sample of 20 cans taken and you need to calculate the probability of painting on average an area of 540 feet².
The sample mean has the same distribution as the variable it is ariginated from, but it's variability is affected by the sample size, so it has a normal distribution with parameners:
X[bar]~N(μ;δ²/n)
So the Z you have to use to standardize the value of the sample mean is Z=(X[bar]-μ)/(δ/√n)~N(0;1)
To paint 540 feet² using 20 cans you have to paint around 540/20= 27 feet² per can.
c.
P(X≤27) = P(Z≤(27-25)/(3/√20))= P(Z≤2.98)= 0.999
d.
No. If the distribution is skewed and not normal, you cannot use the normal distribution to calculate the probabilities. You could use the central limit theorem to approximate the sampling distribution to normal if the sample size was 30 or grater but this is not the case.
I hope it helps!
Question 3 This questions requires you to examine computational differences for methods used to calculate sample variation. You will implement three approaches. You should find that two of these approaches calculate the sample variation more accurately than the other approach. Note that the values provided in part a. coincide with a large mean and a small variance. This scenario can be particularly problematic computationally when calculating sample variance. a. Add code to H4_Q3 that declares an array of doubles named values initialized with the following: {100000000.6,99999999.8,100000002.8,99999998.5,100000001.3 }. b. Add code to H4_Q3 that determines the sample variance using the following equation: S = Pn−1 i=0 (xi − x¯) 2 n − 1 where x¯ = Pn−1 i=0 xi n . The individual xi values are given as {10,000.6, 9,999.8, 10,002.8, 9,998.5, 10,001.3 } so that n = 5 with x indexed as i = 0, . . . , 4. c. Add code to H4_Q3 that determines the sample variance using the following equation: 2 S = Pn−1 i=0 x 2 i n − Pn−1 i=0 xi n !2 × n n − 1 with xi given in b. d. Add code to H4_Q3 that calculates the sample variance using the following method: Algorithm 1: Sample Variance Algorithm: Part d Result: Sample Variance: Sn−1 n−1 initialization: Set M0 = x0; S0 = 0 and i = 1; while i ≤ n − 1 do Mi = Mi−1 + xi−Mx−1 i+1 ; Si = Si−1 + (xk − Mk−1) ∗ (xk − Mk) end with xi given in b. This approach to calculating sample variance is known as the Welford method.
Answer:
sigma formulas are executed by using for loop to sum all the values.

sample_variance = (sum_squared - Math.sqrt(sum_values)) * (n/ (n - 1));
System.out.println("Sample variance (Part c formula): "+sample_variance);
//Part d
sample_variance = 0;
double[] M = new double[n];
double[] S = new double[n];
M[0] = values[0];
S[0] = 0;
i = 1;
while(i < n)
{
M[i] = M[i-1] + ((values[i] - M[i-1])/i+1);
S[i] = S[i-1] + (values[i] - M[i-1]) * (values[i] - M[i]);
i++;
}
System.out.println("Sample variance (Part d formula): "+S[n-1]/n);

BJ's goal is to have $50,000 saved at the end of Year 5. At the end of Year 2, they can add $7,500 to their savings but they want to deposit the remainder they need to reach their goal today, Year 0, as a lump sum deposit. If they can earn 4.5 percent, how much must they deposit today
Final answer:
BJ must deposit approximately $41,191.39 today to reach their goal of $50,000 at the end of Year 5, considering a 4.5% interest rate.
Explanation:
To find out how much BJ must deposit today to reach their goal of $50,000 at the end of Year 5, we can use the concept of compound interest. The formula to calculate the future value of a lump sum deposit is:
Future Value = Principal Amount x (1 + Interest Rate)^Number of Periods
In this case, BJ wants to find out the principal amount, which is the deposit they need to make today. We have the future value ($50,000), the interest rate (4.5%), and the number of periods (5).
Let's substitute the values into the formula and solve for the principal amount:
$50,000 = Principal Amount x (1 + 0.045)^5
Simplifying the equation:
$50,000 = Principal Amount x 1.21550625
Dividing both sides by 1.21550625:
Principal Amount = $41,191.39
Therefore, BJ must deposit approximately $41,191.39 today to reach their goal.
