Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The researcher's objective is to compare the effectiveness of a water softener when used with a filtering process against its effectiveness when used without filtering.

To do so 90 locations were randomly divided into two equal groups.

Group A locations used the water softener with filtering.

Group B locations used the water softener without filtering.

At the end of three months, a water sample was taken of each location and its level of softness was registered (Scale 1 to 5, 5 represents the softest water)

X₁: Softness of water of a location from group A

n₁= 45 locations

X[bar]₁= 2.1

S₁= 0.7

X₂: Softness of water of a location from group B

n₂= 45 locations

X[bar]₂= 1.7

S₂= 0.4

To compare the effectiveness of the softener with and without a filtering process the parameter of interest is the difference between both population means:

Parameter: μ₁ - μ₂

The point estimation of the difference between the population means is the difference of the sample means: X[bar]₁ - X[bar]₂= 2.1-1.7= 0.4

Since the objective is to test if there is any difference with or without the filtering process, the hypothesis test to make is two-tailed:

H₀: μ₁ - μ₂ = 0

H₁: μ₁ - μ₂ ≠ 0

α: 0.05

Since there is no information about the distribution of both variables, you have to apply the central limit theorem and approximate the distribution of X[bar]₁ and X[bar]₂ to normal. Once both samples mean distribution is approximate to normal you can use the statistic:

[tex]Z= \frac{(X[bar]₁ - X[bar]₂)-(Mu_1-Mu_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{S_1^2}{n_1} +\frac{S_2^2}{n_2} } }[/tex]

[tex]Z_{H_0}= \frac{(2.1-1.7)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{0.49}{45} +\frac{0.16}{45} } } = 3.3282[/tex]

As said before, this test is two-tailed, so you will have two critical values:

Critical value 1: [tex]Z_{\alpha /2}= Z_{0.025}= -1.95[/tex]

Critical value 2: [tex]Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.975}= 1.965[/tex]

The p-value of this test is also two tailed, you can calculate it as:

P(Z≥3.33) + P(Z≤3.33)= (1 - P(Z≤3.33))+P(Z≤-3.33)= (1-0.999566)+0.000434= 0.000868

p-value: 0.000868

This value means that 0.0868% of the sample size 45 taken from this population will provide natural evidence that there is no difference between the population means of the effectiveness of the water softener used with and without a filtering process.

A little reminder, the p-value is defined as the probability corresponding to the calculated statistic if possible under the null hypothesis (i.e. the probability of obtaining a value as extreme as the value of the statistic under the null hypothesis).

Both using the critical value method and the p-value method the decision is to reject the null hypothesis. This means that with a 5% level of significance there is a difference between the true average of the effectiveness of the water softener used with a filtering process and the true average effectiveness of the water softener used without a filtering process.

I hope it helps!

How much should Marc deposit weekly into an account at 8% compounded weekly in order to have
$4500 available for a round trip plane ticket, hotel, and spending money for a trip to Sweden in 2 years?

Please give step by step!

Answers

Answer:

ooh i just learned this,  not 100% sure but the amount he should have to deposit is $3835.12

if the weekly one means depositing money every week then  it would be $36.88 I think.

Step-by-step explanation:

p=?

r=.08

n=52

t=2

4500 = P(1+.08/52)^(52 x 2)

divide both sides by (1+.08/52)^(52 x 2)

and you are left with $3835.12

if i take into account that Marc is depositing the money every week the i would divide it by 104  (that is 52 x 2 because 52 weeks in a year and it says 2 years) you would be left with $36.88.

Hope I was any help.

Answer: Marc should deposit $39.87 weekly.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining future value involving deposits at constant intervals. It is expressed as

S = R[{(1 + r)^n - 1)}/r][1 + r]

Where

S represents the future value of the investment.

R represents the regular payments made(could be weekly, monthly)

r = represents interest rate/number of interval payments.

n represents the total number of payments made.

From the information given,

S = $4500

Assuming there are 52 weeks in a year, then

r = 0.08/52 = 0.0015

n = 52 × 2 = 104

Therefore,

4500 = R[{(1 + 0.0015)^104 - 1)}/0.0015][1 + 0.0015]

4500 = R[{(1.0015)^104 - 1)}/0.0015][1.0015]

4500 = R[{(1.169 - 1)}/0.0015][1.0015]

4500 = R[{(0.169)}/0.0015][1.0015]

4500 = R[112.67][1.0015]

4500 = 112.839R

R = 4500/112.839

R = 39.87

Some scientists believe that the average surface temperature of the world has been rising steadily. The average surface temperature can be modeled by T = 0.02t + 15.0. where T is temperature in ∘C and t is years since 1950.
(a) What do the slope and T-intercept represent?
(b) Use the equation to predict the average global surface temperature in 2050.

Answers

Answer:

(a)

The slope of the equation = 0.02

Therefore T-intercept equals 15

(b)

Therefore the average global surface temperature in 2050 is 17°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a equation is in the form

y= mx+c........(1)

Then the slope of the equation is m.

Slope: The tangent of the angle which is made with the positive x-axis.

If θ be the angle , Then slope (m)= tanθ.

If a equation in the form

[tex]\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} =1[/tex]............(2)

Then x-axis intercept equals a and y-axis intercept equals b.

Given equation is

T=0.02t+15.0

Comparing with equation (1)

The slope of the equation = 0.02

Again we can rewrite the equation as

[tex]T-0.02t=15[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{T}{15} -\frac{0.02t}{15}=1[/tex]

Comparing with (2)

Therefore T-intercept equals 15

(b)

Here t= 2050-1950 =100

Putting t=100 in the given equation

T=0.02(100)+15 = 2+15 =17

Therefore the average global surface temperature in 2050 is 17°C.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(X<120)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{120-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{120-150}{13})=P(z<-2.308)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

[tex]P(z<-2.308)=0.0105[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(150,13)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=150[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=13[/tex]

We are interested on this probability

[tex]P(X<120)[/tex]

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

[tex]P(X<120)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{120-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{120-150}{13})=P(z<-2.308)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle from all indication is an isosceles triangle:

Let x represent the side

∴ x = 4 - 6 = -2

x =  -2

x + 2 = 0

Using the fomular, as area of triangle, that is:

s = a + b+ c/2, where a = x + 2; b = x+ 2; c = x

∴ s = x + 2 + x + 2 + x/2 = 3x + 4/2

Area = √3x + 4/2( 3x + 4/2 - x - 2)(3x + 4/2 - x - 2)(3x + 4/2 - x)

= √3x + 4/2( x/2)(x/2)(x + 4/2)

16. A car depreciates in value at a rate of 10%. The car currently has a value of $12,000.
What will be its value in 10 years?

Answers

Answer: $4,184.14

Step-by-step explanation:

If a car depreciates, it mean the the car is losing it's marketable worth and sometimes at a constant rate. The worth of the car after some years does not remain the same.

The formula for this depreciation when at a constant rate is denoted as:

D = P × [1 - r/100]^n

Where:

D=the Depreciated value of the car after n period which is what is being determined.

P = initial value of the car before depreciation is considered and in this case, P = $12,000

r = constant Rate Of depreciation and in this case = 10%

n = period being considered, which in this case, n = 10years.

Hence,

D = 12,000 × [1 - 10/100]^10

D = $4,184.14

Answers

Answer:

The type 1 error here is a. Deciding that the absorption rates are different, when in fact they are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

A type I error is the rejection of a true null hypothesis (also known as a "false positive" finding or conclusion).

More generally, a Type I error occurs when a significance test results in the rejection of a true null hypothesis. By one common convention, if the probability value is below 0.05, then the null hypothesis is rejected.

In inferential statistics, the null hypothesis is a general statement or default position that there is nothing significantly different happening, like there is no association among groups or variables, or that there is no relationship between two measured phenomena.

p    0.8   0.2

E(x) = [tex]1(0.8)+0(0.2)\\=0.8[/tex]

[tex]E(x^2) = 1^2(0.8) = 0.8[/tex]

Var(x) = 0.8-0.8*0.8

= 0.16

Now let us consider Y.

Y is the no of points scored.

Y      2       0

p     0.8    0.2

E(Y) = [tex]2(0.8)+0(0.2)\\=1,.6[/tex]

[tex]2^2(0.8)+0(0.2)\\= 3.2[/tex]

Final answer:

The mean and variance for X and Y are calculated using their definitions in probability theory. For X, the mean is 0.80 and variance is 0.16. For Y, the mean is 1.60 and variance is 0.64.

Explanation:

The random variable X is a Bernoulli random variable because it has only two outcomes: success (X=1) and failure (X=0). The mean and variance for a Bernoulli random variable can be found using the formulas: Mean (E[X]) = p and Variance (Var[X]) = p(1-p).

 For X:

The mean E[X] = p = 0.80. So, X = 1 with probability 0.80.

The variance Var[X] = p(1-p) = 0.80(1-0.80) = 0.16

The random variable Y represents the number of points scored which can either be 0 or 2. We let p be the probability of scoring 2 points i.e., p = 0.80. Hence, if the two-point conversion is successful, we will score 2 points, otherwise, we score 0.

For Y:

The mean E[Y] = 0*(1-p) + 2*p = 0 + 2*0.80 = 1.60

The variance Var[Y] = (0-E[Y])^2*(1-p) + (2-E[Y])^2*p = (0-1.60)^2*(1-0.80) + (2-1.60)^2*0.80 = 0.64

b. A company has 4 cars of this model in its fleet. What is the probability that the average NOX level of these cars are above 0.3 g/mi limit?

Answers

Answer:

a) 15.87% probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement.

b) 2.28% probability that the average NOX level of these cars are above 0.3 g/mi limit

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem to solve this question.

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 [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 0.25, \sigma = 0.05[/tex]

a. What is the probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement?

Emissions higher than 0.3, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.3. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.3 - 0.25}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8417.

1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587.

15.87% probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement.

b. A company has 4 cars of this model in its fleet. What is the probability that the average NOX level of these cars are above 0.3 g/mi limit?

Now we have [tex]n = 4, s = \frac{0.05}{\sqrt{4}} = 0.025[/tex]

The probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.3. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.3 - 0.25}{0.025}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

2.28% probability that the average NOX level of these cars are above 0.3 g/mi limit

The probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement is 15.87%.

What is z score?

Z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

z = (raw score - mean) / standard deviation

Given;  mean of 0.25 g and a standard deviation of 0.05 g/mi

a) For > 0.3:

z = (0.3 - 0.25)/0.05 = 1

P(z > 1) = 1 - P(z < 1) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

b) For > 0.3, sample size = 4

z = (0.3 - 0.25)/(0.05 ÷√4) = 2

P(z > 2) = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

The probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement is 15.87%.

The total compound return over the 3 years is 15.26%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial investment sum be assumed to be X

The total return after each year can be calculated as follows:

After First year: X + (13% of X) = 1.13X

After Second year: 1.13X + (20% of 1.13X) = 1.13X + 0.226X = 1.356X

After Third year: 1.356X - (15% of 1.356X) = 1.356X - 0.2034X = 1.1526X

It is apparent from here that after the third year, the investment has increased the initial X, by 0.1526X, which is 15.26%.

The total compound return over the 3 years is 15.26%

Suppose Team A has a 0.75 probability to win their next game and Team B has a 0.85 probability to win their next game. Assume these events are independent. What is the probability that Team A wins and Team B loses

Answers

The probability that Team A wins and Team B loses is 0.112.

Given that,

Suppose Team A has a 0.75 probability to win their next game and Team B has a 0.85 probability to win their next game.

Assume these events are independent.

We have to determine,

What is the probability that Team A wins and Team B loses?

According to the question,

In an independent event and probability, the outcomes in an experiment are termed as events. Ideally, there are multiple events like mutually exclusive events, independent events, dependent events, and more.

Team A has a 0.75 probability to win their next game,

And Team B has a 0.85 probability to win their next game.

Therefore,

The probability that Team A wins and Team B loses is

[tex]\rm The \ probability \ of \ A \ wins \ and \ team \ B \ loses = Probability \ of \ team \ A winning \ game \times (1- Probability \ of \ team B \ lose \ the \ game)\\\\ The \ probability \ of \ A \ wins \ and \ team \ B \ loses = 0.75 \times (1-0.85)\\\\ The \ probability \ of \ A \ wins \ and \ team \ B \ loses =0.75 \times 0.15\\\\ The \ probability \ of \ A \ wins \ and \ team \ B \ loses =0.112[/tex]

Hence, The probability that Team A wins and Team B loses is 0.112.

Final answer:

The probability that Team A wins and Team B loses is calculated by multiplying the probability of Team A winning (0.75) with the probability of Team B losing (1 - 0.85). The result is 0.1125 or 11.25%.

Explanation:

To calculate the probability that Team A wins and Team B loses, we use the rules of independent events. The event of Team A winning has a probability of 0.75, and the event of Team B losing is the complement of Team B winning, which has a probability of 0.85. Since these are independent events, we multiply the probabilities:

P(Team A wins and Team B loses) = P(Team A wins) × P(Team B loses)

P(Team B loses) = 1 - P(Team B wins) = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

Therefore, P(Team A wins and Team B loses) = 0.75 × 0.15 = 0.1125.

The probability that Team A wins and Team B loses is 0.1125, or 11.25%.

Two hikers come to a ravine and want to know how wide it is. They set up two similar triangles as shown in the diagram. How far is it across the ravine?

Answers

Answer:

d = 80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with angle BCA, tan(BCA) = 30/15 so BCA = 63.43 degrees.

BCA = ECD since they are opposite angles.

tan ECD = d/40

40 tan(63.4degrees) = d

d = 80 ft

Alternatively, you can use similar triangles since the angles are the same, BCA = ECD, CED = CAB, and CBA = EDC. In that case use proportions to get 30/15 = d/40 so 2 = d/40 and d = 80.

The probability of a train arriving on time and leaving on time is 0.8. The probability that the train arrives on time and leaves on time in 0.24. What is the probability that the train arrives on time, given that it leaves on time?

Answers

Answer:

0.9524

Step-by-step explanation:

Note enough information is given in this problem. I will do a similar problem like this. The problem is:

The Probability of a train arriving on time and leaving on time is 0.8.The probability of the same train arriving on time is 0.84. The probability of the same train leaving on time is 0.86.Given the train arrived on time, what is the probability it will leave on time?

Solution:

This is conditional probability.

Given:

Probability train arrive on time and leave on time = 0.8 Probability train arrive on time = 0.84 Probability train leave on time = 0.86

Now, according to conditional probability formula, we can write:

[tex]P(Leave \ on \ time | arrive \ on \ time)[/tex] = P(arrive ∩ leave) / P(arrive)

Arrive ∩ leave means probability of arriving AND leaving on time, that is given as "0.8"

and

P(arrive) means probability arriving on time given as 0.84, so:

0.8/0.84 = 0.9524

This is the answer.

If one of the 1008 subjects is randomly selected, find the probability that the person chosen is a woman given that the person is a light smoker. Round to the nearest thousandth.

Answers

Answer:

The probability is 0.4841.

Step-by-step explanation:

The provided table is:

From above table, it is known that

Number of subjects are 1008.

The probability that the person chosen is a woman given that the person is a light smoker can be calculated as:

[tex]P(Woman| Light smoker)=\frac{P(Woman and light smoker)}{P(Light smoker)} \\P(Woman| Light smoker)= \frac{\frac{76}{1008} }{\frac{157}{1008} } = 0.4841[/tex]

Thus, required probability is 0.4841.

The probability that a randomly selected person is a woman given that the person is a light smoker is [tex]\[ 0.400} \][/tex]

To find the probability that a randomly selected person is a woman given that the person is a light smoker, we need to use conditional probability. The formula for conditional probability [tex]\( P(A|B) \)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}\][/tex]

Where:

[tex]\( P(A|B) \)[/tex] is the probability of event [tex]\( A \)[/tex] occurring given that [tex]\( B \)[/tex] has occurred.

[tex]\( P(A \cap B) \)[/tex] is the probability of both events [tex]\( A \)[/tex] and [tex]\( B \)[/tex] occurring.

[tex]\( P(B) \)[/tex] is the probability of an event [tex]\( B \)[/tex] occurring.

Let's define the events:

[tex]\( A \)[/tex] : The person chosen is a woman.

[tex]\( B \)[/tex] : The person chosen is a light smoker.

We need the number of light smokers and the number of women who are light smokers. Suppose we have the following data:

Total number of subjects: 1008

Number of light smokers: [tex]\( n_{\text{light smokers}} \)[/tex]

A number of women who are light smokers: [tex]\( n_{\text{women and light smokers}} \)[/tex]

Given that the number of women who are light smokers is [tex]\( n_{\text{women and light smokers}} \)[/tex] and the total number of light smokers is [tex]\( n_{\text{light smokers}} \)[/tex], the probability can be calculated as follows:

[tex]\[P(\text{woman | light smoker}) = \frac{n_{\text{women and light smokers}}}{n_{\text{light smokers}}}\][/tex]

If we don't have the exact numbers, we'll need those to calculate the probability. However, let's assume the following values (hypothetically for the purpose of illustration):

Total number of light smokers: 150

Number of women who are light smokers: 60

The probability that a randomly selected person is a woman given that the person is a light smoker is:

[tex]\[P(\text{woman | light smoker}) = \frac{60}{150} = 0.4\][/tex]

Rounding to the nearest thousandth:

[tex]\[0.4 = 0.400\][/tex]

Solve using normalcdf

Answers

Let X be the random variable representing monthly trainee income. X is distributed with mean $1100 and standard deviation $150. You want to find the proportion of trainees that earn less than $900 per month, or Pr(X < 900).

Using normalcdf (on a TI calculator, for instance), you would compute

normalcdf(-1E99, 900, 1100, 150)

to get a proportion of approximately 0.09121, or 9.121%.

That is, the syntax for normalcdf is

normalcdf(lower limit, upper limit, mean, standard deviation)

In this case, you pick a very large negative number for "lower limit" in order to simulate negative infinity.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2.54-2.82\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10}}=1.55[/tex]    

[tex]2.54+2.82\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10}}=3.53[/tex]    

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (1.55;3.53)

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[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample  

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

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

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)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

[tex]\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}[/tex] (2)  

[tex]s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}[/tex] (3)  

The mean calculated for this case is [tex]\bar X=2.54[/tex]

The sample deviation calculated [tex]s=1.110[/tex]

In order to calculate the critical value [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

[tex]df=n-1=10-1=9[/tex]

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.02[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.01[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.01,9)".And we see that [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=2.82[/tex]

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

[tex]2.54-2.82\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10}}=1.55[/tex]    

[tex]2.54+2.82\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10}}=3.53[/tex]    

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (1.55;3.53)    

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (1.55;3.53)

A range of values that, with a particular level of confidence, is likely to encompass a population value is called a confidence interval. A population mean is typically stated as a percentage that falls between an upper and lower interval.

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

The 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".

show the sample mean for the given sample.  

population mean (the relevant variable)

The sample standard deviation is denoted by s.

n stands for the number of samples.  

Resolution of the issue

The following formula produces the mean's confidence interval:

[tex]\bar x[/tex] ± [tex]\frac{t_a}{2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex] ____________(1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

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

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum^n_{i=1}(x_i-\bar x)}{n-1} }[/tex] ____________(3)

The mean calculated for this case is X = 2.54

The sample deviation calculated s = 1.110

t In order to calculate the critical value [tex]\frac{t_a}{2}[/tex] we need freedom, given by: to find first the degrees of

df = n-1=10-19

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the value of a = 0.02 and a/2 = 0.01, and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value.

[tex]\frac{t_a}{2}[/tex]  = 2.82

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

2.54 - 2.82 [tex]\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10} }[/tex] = 1.55

2.54 +  2.82 [tex]\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10} }[/tex]  = 3.53

A poll showed that 57.4% of Americans say they believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life. What is the probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life. Report your answer as a decimal accurate to 3 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is 0.426.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of Americans who believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life.

The probability of the random variable X is,

P (X) = 0.574

The event of a person not believing that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is the complement of the event X.

The probability of the complement of an event, E is the probability of that event not happening.

[tex]P(E^{c})=1-P(E)[/tex]

Compute the value of [tex]P(X^{c})[/tex] as follows:

[tex]P(X^{c})=1-P(X)\\=1-0.574\\=0.426[/tex]

Thus, the probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is 0.426.

Answer:

Probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life = 0.426 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a poll showed that 57.4% of Americans say they believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life.

Let the above probability that % of Americans who believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life = P(A) = 0.574

Now, probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is given by = 1 - Probability of randomly selecting someone who believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life = 1 - P(A)

So, required probability = 1 - 0.574 = 0.426 .

Function Point
w = y3 − 9x2y
x = es, y = et
s = −5, t = 10

Evaluate each partial derivative at the given values of s and t.

Answers

Answer:

The value of [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}[/tex] is [tex]e^{3t}-18e^{2s+t}[/tex]The value of [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}[/tex] is [tex]3e^{3t}-9e^{2s+t}[/tex]The partial derivative at s=-5 and t=10 is [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}[/tex] is [tex]e^{30}-18[/tex]The partial derivative at s=-5 and t=10 is [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=3(e^{30}-3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Function point are [tex]w=y^3-9x^2y[/tex]

[tex]x=e^s[/tex], [tex]y=e^t[/tex] and s = -5, t = 10

To find [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}[/tex]using the appropriate Chain Rule :

[tex]w=y^3-9x^2y[/tex]  

Substitute the values of x and y in the above equation we get

[tex]w=(e^t)^3-9(e^s)^2(e^t)[/tex]

[tex]w=e^{3t}-9e^{2s}.e^t[/tex]

Now  partially differentiating w with respect to s by using chain rule we have

[tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial ∂s}=e^{3t}-9(e^{2s}).2(e^t)[/tex]

[tex]=e^{3t}-18e^{2s}.(e^t)[/tex]

[tex]=e^{3t}-18e^{2s+t}[/tex]

Therefore the value of [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}[/tex] is [tex]e^{3t}-18e^{2s+t}[/tex]

[tex]w=e^{3t}-9e^{2s}.e^t[/tex]

Now  partially differentiating w with respect to t by using chain rule we have

[tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=e^{3t}.(3)-9e^{2s}(e^t).(1)[/tex]

[tex]=3e^{3t}-9e^{2s+t}[/tex]

Therefore the value of [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}[/tex] is [tex]3e^{3t}-9e^{2s+t}[/tex]

Now put s-5 and t=10 to evaluate each partial derivative at the given values of s and t :

[tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}=e^{3t}-18e^{2s+t}[/tex]

[tex]=e^{3(10}-18e^{2(-5)+10}[/tex]

[tex]=e^{30}-18e^{-10+10}[/tex]

[tex]=e^{30}-18e^0[/tex]

[tex]=e^{30}-18[/tex]

Therefore the partial derivative at s=-5 and t=10 is [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}[/tex] is [tex]e^{30}-18[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=3e^{3t}-9e^{2s+t}[/tex]

[tex]=3e^{3(10)}-9e^{2(-5)+10}[/tex]

[tex]=3e^{30}-9e{-10+10}[/tex]

[tex]=3e^{30}-9e{0}[/tex]

[tex]=3e^{30}-9[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=3(e^{30}-3)[/tex]

Therefore the partial derivative at s=-5 and t=10 is [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=3(e^{30}-3)[/tex]

Using the Chain Rule, it is found that:

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s}(-5,10) = -18[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s}(-5,10) = 3e^{30} - 9[/tex]

w is a function of x and y, which are functions of s and t, thus, by the Chain Rule:

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s} = \frac{\partial W}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial s} + \frac{\partial W}{\partial y}\frac{\partial y}{\partial s}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial t} = \frac{\partial W}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial W}{\partial y}\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}[/tex]

Then, the derivatives are:

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial x} = -18xy[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial x}{\partial s} = e^s[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial y} = 3y^2 - 9x^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial y}{\partial s} = 0[/tex]

Then

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s} = \frac{\partial W}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial s}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s} = -18xy(e^s)[/tex]

The owner of a fish market determined that the mean weight for a catfish is 3.2 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.8 pound. Assuming the weights of catfish are normally distributed, the probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is ________.

Answers

Answer: The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is 0.596

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the weights of catfish are assumed to be normally distributed,

we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = weights of catfish.

µ = mean weight

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 3.2 pounds

σ = 0.8 pound

The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is is expressed as

P(x ≤ 3 ≤ 5.4)

For x = 3

z = (3 - 3.2)/0.8 = - 0.25

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.401

For x = 5.4

z = (5.4 - 3.2)/0.8 = 2.75

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.997

Therefore,.

P(x ≤ 3 ≤ 5.4) = 0.997 - 0.401 = 0.596

Final answer:

To determine the probability that a catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds, we calculate the z-scores for these weights and find the corresponding probabilities. The probability is approximately 0.5957 or 59.57%.

Explanation:

The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds can be calculated using the standard normal distribution.

First, we convert the weights to z-scores using the formula:

Z = (X - μ) / σ

For 3 pounds:


Z = (3 - 3.2) / 0.8 = -0.25


For 5.4 pounds:


Z = (5.4 - 3.2) / 0.8 = 2.75

Next, we look up these z-scores on the z-table or use a calculator with normal distribution functions to find the probabilities.

P(Z < 2.75) = 0.9970 (rounded to four decimal places)

P(Z < -0.25) = 0.4013 (rounded to four decimal places)

Then we find the difference to determine the probability of a catfish weighing between these two values:

Probability = P(Z < 2.75) - P(Z < -0.25)

Probability = 0.9970 - 0.4013 = 0.5957

The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is approximately 0.5957 or 59.57%.

In a study of the effects of acid rain, a random sample of 100 trees from a particular forest is examined. Forty percent of these show some signs of damage. Which of the following statements is correct?

a.None of the above
b. The sampling distribution of the proportion of damaged trees is approximately Normal
c.This is a comparative experiment.
d.If a sample of 1000 trees was examined, the variability of the sample proportion would be larger than in a sample of 100 trees
e.If we took another random sample of trees, we would find that 40% of these would show some signs of damage

Answers

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The sampling distribution of the proportion of damaged trees is approximately Normal

Answer:B. The sampling distribution of the proportion of damaged trees is approximately Normal.

Step-by-step explanation: Sampling distribution is a probability distribution of a statistic which is gotten through the collection of a large number of samples from the population of interest.

A normal distribution is a distribution of the samples symmetrically around the mean, when a Statistical metric shows that the outcome is distributed around the central region it shows that the distribution is normal.

FOR A FORTY PERCENT INCIDENCE, THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROPORTION OF DAMAGED TREES IS APPROXIMATELY NORMAL AS IT IS CLOSE TO 50% WHICH IS THE MEAN OF 100%.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The Estimated  second point is (t,p) =(5,9320)

b

The rate is 180 thousand employer per year

c

The percentage rate of change of the function is 1.939%

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph

  First is to obtain the scale of the graph what i mean is what the distance between each line segment

    Considering the y-axis  each line segment is

                              [tex]\frac{9300-9200}{5} = \frac{100}{5} =20[/tex]

So this means that after 9300 the next line segment is 9320

Considering the x-axis each line segment is

                            [tex]\frac{4-2}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5[/tex]

What this means is that 2 line segment after 4 is 4 +2 ×(0.5) =5

So looking this two points (new_t,new_p) = (5 , 9320) = we see that they form a coordinate

       B) The labeled point that we are to consider are

   [tex](t_1,p_2) = (4.8, 9284) \ (t_2,p_2) = (5, 9320)[/tex]

The rate change

                 [tex]= \frac{p_2-p_1}{t_2-t_1}=\frac{9320-9284}{5-4.8} = \frac{36}{0.2} = 180[/tex]

So the rate is 180 thousand employer per year

C)

 So to obtain the percentage rate of change of the function

   Now

       [tex]f(4.8) = 9284 \ Thousand[/tex]

      [tex]f'(4.8) = 180 \ Thousand[/tex]    

Note: This is so because differentiation is the same as  slope of the graph

    Hence the percentage  rate of change

                          [tex]\frac{f'(4.8)}{f(4.8)} *\frac{100}{1} = \frac{180 \ 000}{9284 \ 000} * \frac{100}{1}[/tex]

                           = 1.939%

Final answer:

The question seems to be related to calculus, discussing concepts of tangents and rates of change for a function. To find another point on a tangent line or calculate the rate of change, we need the function and additional details. The respective formulas for these calculations are mentioned, but we can't provide a factual answer without more information.

Explanation:

Given the question, it seems this is related to the field of calculus, specifically addressing concepts of tangents and rates of change of a function. However, to find another point on the tangent line or calculate the rate of change at a specific point, we need more context or the actual function.

Usually, for the first question, you can use the formula slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1), assuming (t, p) is a point on the tangent and you know the slope of the tangent. For the second question, the rate of change at a point is the derivative of the function at that point. For the third question, the percentage rate of change at a point is the derivative at that point divided by the function value at that point, multiplied by 100 to get percentage.

Without the function and some additional information, we cannot arrive at a factual answer. You might want to check the question again and include the necessary details.

To prepare for surgery, Anne mixes an anesthetic solution using two different concentrations: 40 mL of 25% solution and 60 mL of 40% solution.

What is the concentration of the mixed solution?

Answers

Answer:

34%

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of anesthetic in the 25% solution + amount of anesthetic in the 40% solution = amount of anesthetic in the mixed solution

0.25 (40) + 0.40 (60) = x (40 + 60)

10 + 24 = 100x

x = 0.34

The concentration of the mixed solution is 34%.
