Steve Goodman, production foreman for the Florida Gold Fruit Company, estimates that the average sale of oranges is 4,700 and the standard deviation is 500 oranges. Sales follow a normal distribution. What is the probability that sales will be less than 4,300 oranges?

Answers

Answer 1

The probability that sales will be less than 4,300 oranges is 21.19%

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

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score, \mu=mean, \sigma=standard\ deviation\\\\Given\ that:\\\mu=4700,\sigma=500\\\\For\ x=4300:\\\\z=\frac{4300-4700}{500} =-0.8[/tex]

From the normal distribution table:

P(x < 4300) = P(z < -0.8) = 0.2119 = 21.19%

The probability that sales will be less than 4,300 oranges is 21.19%

Answer 2
Final answer:

The probability that sales will be less than 4,300 oranges is approximately 21.23%.

Explanation:

To find the probability that sales will be less than 4,300 oranges, we need to standardize the value using the z-score formula.

The z-score formula is given by z = (x - μ) / σ, where x is the value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation. In this case, x = 4,300, μ = 4,700, and σ = 500.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get z = (4,300 - 4,700) / 500 = -0.8. We can then use a z-table or a calculator to find the probability associated with a z-score of -0.8, which is approximately 0.2123 or 21.23%.

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

Answers

Answer:

- 21 x + 24 y + 15 z =120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

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

We know that equation of a plane is given as

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

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

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

Now by solving above determinate we get

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

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

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

- 21 x + 24 y + 15 z =120

Therefore the equation of the plane will be

- 21 x + 24 y + 15 z =120

Harry notes that the state sales tax went from 2% to 2.5%, which he says is not too bad because it's just a one-half percent increase. But Linda says that it really is bad because it's a 25% increase. Who's right, and why?

Answers

We are required to calculate the percentage increase in tax and determine who is right.

The percentage increase in tax is 25% and Linda is very correct

percentage increase = difference in tax /

percentage increase = difference in tax / old tax × 100

old tax = 2%

New tax = 2.5%

Difference = New tax - old tax

= 2.5% - 2%

= 0.5%

percentage increase = difference in tax /

percentage increase = difference in tax / old tax × 100

= 0.5% / 2% × 100

= 0.25 × 100

= 25%

Therefore, the percentage increase in tax is 25% and Linda is very correct

Guessing Answers Standard tests, such as the SAT, ACT, or Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), typically use multiple choice questions, each with five possible answers (a, b, c, d, e), one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the answers to the first three questions. a. Use the multiplication rule to find the probability that the first two guesses are wrong and the third is correct. That is, find P(WWC), where W denotes a wrong answer and C denotes a correct answer. b. Beginning with WWC, make a complete list of the different possible arrangements of two wrong answers and one correct answer, then find the probability for each entry in the list. c. Based on the preceding results, what is the probability of getting exactly one correct answer when the guesses are made?

Answers

Answer:

a) Probability of picking the first two answers wrong & the third answer correctly in that order, P(WWC) = 0.128

b) All possible outcomes = WWC, WCW, CWW

P(WWC) = 0.128; P(WCW) = 0.128; P(CWW) = 0.128

c) Total Probability of picking only one correct answer and two incorrect answers from the first three attempts = 0.384

Step-by-step explanation:

P(Correct answer) = P(C) = number of correct options/total options available.

That is, P(C) = 1/5 = 0.2

P(Wrong answer) = P(W) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 or (number of wrong options)/(total options available) = 4/5 = 0.8

a) Using the multiple rule for independent events,

P(WWC) = P(W) × P(W) × P(C) = 0.8 × 0.8 × 0.2 = 0.128

Probability of picking the first two answers wrong & the third answer correctly in that order = 0.128

b) All possible outcomes of picking two wrong answers and one right answer in whichever order for the first 3 questions are (WWC, WCW, CWW)

P(WWC) = P(W) × P(W) × P(C) = 0.8 × 0.8 × 0.2 = 0.128

P(WCW) = P(W) × P(C) × P(W) = 0.8 × 0.2 × 0.8 = 0.128

P(CWW) = P(C) × P(W) × P(W) = 0.2 × 0.8 × 0.8 = 0.128

c) Using the addition rule for disjoint events,

Total Probability of picking only one correct answer and two incorrect answers from the first three attempts = P(WWC) + P(WCW) + P(CWW) = 0.128 + 0.128 + 0.128 = 0.384

QED!

The probability of getting exactly one correct answer when guessing on three multiple-choice questions with five possible answers each is [tex]\(\frac{3}{25}\)[/tex].

a. To find the probability that the first two guesses are wrong and the third is correct, denoted as P(WWC), we use the multiplication rule for independent events. Since there are five possible answers for each question and only one correct answer, the probability of guessing wrong on one question is [tex]\(\frac{4}{5}\)[/tex] and the probability of guessing correctly is [tex]\(\frac{1}{5}\)[/tex]. Therefore, the probability of WWC is:

[tex]\[ P(WWC) = P(W) \times P(W) \times P(C) = \left(\frac{4}{5}\right) \times \left(\frac{4}{5}\right) \times \left(\frac{1}{5}\right) = \frac{16}{125} \][/tex]

b. The different possible arrangements of two wrong answers and one correct answer (WWC) are:

1. WWC

2. WWC

3. CWW

4. CW

5. WCW

6. WCW

For each of these arrangements, the probability is the same as calculated in part (a), which is \(\frac{16}{125}\).

c. Since there are six different ways to arrange two wrong answers and one correct answer, and each of these arrangements has the same probability, we multiply the probability of one such arrangement by the number of arrangements to find the total probability of getting exactly one correct

[tex]\[ P(\text{exactly one correct answer}) = 6 \times P(WWC) = 6 \times \frac{16}{125} = \frac{96}{125} \][/tex]

However, we must note that we have counted each arrangement twice because the order of the wrong answers (W) does not matter. Therefore, we need to divide the total by 2 to get the correct probability:

[tex]\[ P(\text{exactly one correct answer}) = \frac{96}{2 \times 125} = \frac{48}{125} \][/tex]

Upon reviewing the calculations, it appears there was an error in the final step. We should not divide by 2 because the arrangements are distinct due to the position of the correct answer (C). The correct total probability is indeed [tex]\(\frac{96}{125}\)[/tex], but since we are looking for the probability of exactly one correct answer, we have to consider that there are three questions and the correct answer could be on any of them. Therefore, we have already accounted for all possible arrangements by multiplying by 6.

The correct probability of getting exactly one correct answer when guessing on three multiple-choice questions is:

[tex]\[ P(\text{exactly one correct answer}) = \frac{96}{125} \][/tex]

However, this is not the final answer. We need to consider that there are three different ways to get exactly one correct answer out of three questions (CWW, WCW, WWC). Since these are mutually exclusive events, we add their probabilities:

[tex]\[ P(\text{exactly one correct answer}) = P(CWW) + P(WCW) + P(WWC) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(\text{exactly one correct answer}) = \frac{16}{125} + \frac{16}{125} + \frac{16}{125} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(\text{exactly one correct answer}) = 3 \times \frac{16}{125} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(\text{exactly one correct answer}) = \frac{48}{125} \][/tex]

Thus, the final correct probability is [tex]\(\frac{48}{125}\)[/tex], which simplifies to [tex]\(\frac{3}{25}\)[/tex].

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

Answers

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 30 seconds

Standard Deviation, σ = 5 second

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

Formula:

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

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

P(x > 42)

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

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

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

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

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

Kenen loves trains, especially those that run on narrow-gauge tracks. (The gauge
of a track measures how far apart the rails are.) He has decided to build a model
train of the Rio Grande, a popular narrow-gauge train.
Use the following information to help him know how big his model should be:

* The real track has a gauge of 3 feet (36 inches).
* His model railroad track has a gauge of 3/4 inches.
*The Rio Grande train he wants to model has driving wheels that measure 44 inches high.

Your Task: With your team, discuss what you know about the model train Kenen will build.

1) What scale factor should he use?
2) What will be the height of the driving wheels of his model?

Answers

Since the real track has a gauge of 3 feet but the model railroad track has a gauge of 3/4 inches, the scale factor must be 1/4, because you must follow the rule

"true measurement * scale factor = model measurement"

In fact, we have

[tex]3\cdot\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]

This implies that the original driving wheels height, 44 inches, must be scaled down to

If s is an increasing function, and t is a decreasing function, find Cs(X),t(Y ) in terms of CX,Y .

Answers

Answer:

C(X,Y)(a,b)=1−C(s(X),t(Y))(a,1−b).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's introduce the cumulative distribution of (X,Y), X and Y :

F(X,Y)(x,y)=P(X≤x,Y≤y)

FX(x)=P(X≤x) FY(y)=P(Y≤y).

Likewise for (s(X),t(Y)), s(X) and t(Y) :

F(s(X),t(Y))(u,v)=P(s(X)≤u

t(Y)≤v)Fs(X)(u)=P(s(X)≤u) Ft(Y)(v)=P(t(Y)≤v).

Now, First establish the relationship between F(X,Y) and F(s(X),t(Y)) :

F(X,Y)(x,y)=P(X≤x,Y≤y)=P(s(X)≤s(x),t(Y)≥t(y))

The last step is obtained by applying the functions s and t since s preserves order and t reverses it.

This can be further transformed into

F(X,Y)(x,y)=1−P(s(X)≤s(x),t(Y)≤t(y))=1−F(s(X),t(Y))(s(x),t(y))

Since our random variables are continuous, we assume that the difference between t(Y)≤t(y) and t(Y)<t(y)) is just a set of zero measure.

Now, to transform this into a statement about copulas, note that

C(X,Y)(a,b)=F(X,Y)(F−1X(a), F−1Y(b))

Thus, plugging x=F−1X(a) and y=F−1Y(b) into our previous formula,

we get

F(X,Y)(F−1X(a),F−1Y(b))=1−F(s(X),t(Y))(s(F−1X(a)),t(F−1Y(b)))

The left hand side is the copula C(X,Y), the right hand side still needs some work.

Note that

Fs(X)(s(F−1X(a)))=P(s(X)≤s(F−1X(a)))=P(X≤F−1X(a))=FX(F−1X(a))=a

and likewise

Ft(Y)(s(F−1Y(b)))=P(t(Y)≤t(F−1Y(b)))=P(Y≥F−1Y(b))=1−FY(F−1Y(b))=1−b

Combining all results we obtain for the relationship between the copulas

C(X,Y)(a,b)=1−C(s(X),t(Y))(a,1−b).

Find the probability for the experiment of drawing two marbles (without replacement) at random from a bag containing one green, two yellow, and three red marbles.
1. Both marbles are red.
2. Both marbles are yellow.
3. Neither marble is yellow.
4. The marbles are of different colors.

Answers

Final answer:

To find the probability of drawing two marbles without replacement, calculate the probability of each event separately and multiply them together.

Explanation:

To find the probability of drawing two marbles without replacement, we need to calculate the number of favorable outcomes and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.

1. Both marbles are red:
First, we calculate the probability of drawing a red marble on the first draw (3 red marbles out of 6 total marbles). Then, we calculate the probability of drawing a red marble on the second draw, given that the first marble drawn was red (2 red marbles out of 5 total marbles remaining). The probability is (3/6) * (2/5) = 1/5.

2. Both marbles are yellow:
First, we calculate the probability of drawing a yellow marble on the first draw (2 yellow marbles out of 6 total marbles). Then, we calculate the probability of drawing a yellow marble on the second draw, given that the first marble drawn was yellow (1 yellow marble out of 5 total marbles remaining). The probability is (2/6) * (1/5) = 1/15.

Mean = 9930.4/120=82.7533 = 82.75

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

$82.83

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

STEP1:

AMOUNT FREQUENCY

0-19.99 16

20.00-39.99 13

40.00-59.99 21

60.00-79.99 19

80.00-99.99 12

100.00-119.99 10

120.00-139.99 7

140.00-159.99 8

160.00-179.99 7

180,00-199.99 1

200.00-219.99 3

220.00-239.99 2

240.00-259.99 1

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

For the first amount is;

(0+19.99)/2 = 9.995

For the second amount is;

(20+39.99)/2 =29.995

Solving this for all the amount. Therefore the table comes

AMOUNT FREQUENCY

9.995 16

29.995 13

49.995 21

69.995 19

89.995 12

109.995 10

129.995 7

149.995 8

169.995 7

189.995 1

209.995 3

229.995 2

249.995 1

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

For the first amount;

9.995×16 = 159.92

For the second amount;

29.995×13= 389.935

For the third amount;

49.995×21= 1049.895

For the fourth amount;

69.99×19= 1329.81

For the fifth amount;

89.995×12=1079.94

For the six amount;

109.995×10= 1099.95

For the sixth amount;

129.995×7= 909.965

For the seventh amount;

149.995×8= 1199.96

For the eight amount;

169.995×7= 1189.965

For the ninth amount;

189.995×1= 189.995

For the tenth amount;

209.995×3= 629.985

For the eleventh amount;

229.995×2=459.99

For the twelveth amount;

249.995×1= 249.995

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

Therefore;

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

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

The total number of frequency is 120

Therefore;

9939.305÷120=82.827541

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

Answers

Answer:

The right answer is option 3.

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

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

That is,

lim x → a f(x) = L

Hope this helps!

Final answer:

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

Explanation:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Answers

Answer:

Friend A

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

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

Friend B

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

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

Friend C

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

So then the best solution for this case would be:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n represent the random sample taken

X represent the number of scissors selected for each friend

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

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

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

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

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

Concepts and formulas to use  

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

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

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

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

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

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

Calculate the statistic  

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

Friend A

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

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

Friend B

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

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

Friend C

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

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

So then the best solution for this case would be:

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

The article "Chances are you know someone with a tattoo, and he's not a sailor" included results from a survey of adults aged 18 to 50. The accompanying data are consistent with the summary values given in the article. Assuming these data are representative of adult Americans and that an adult American is selected at random, use the given information to estimate the following probabilities.

(A) P(tattoo)

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

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

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

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

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.2

b) 0.28

c) 0.12

d) 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

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

We have the following table:

                  At Least One Tattoo No Tattoo

Age 18-29 126                              324

Age 30-50 54                               396

So in total, there are

126 + 324 + 54 + 396 = 900 people

(A) P(tattoo)

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

Desired outcomes:

126 + 54 = 180

180 people have at least one tattoo

Total outcomes:

There are 900 people.

P(tattoo) = 180/900 = 0.2

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

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

Desired outcomes:

126 people aged 18-29 have tattoos

Total outcomes:

126 + 324 = 450 people aged 18-29

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

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

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

Desired outcomes:

54 people aged 18-29 have tattoos

Total outcomes:

54 + 396 = 450 people aged 30-50

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

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

The probability that a tattoed person is 18-29.

Desired outcomes:

126 tattoed people are 18-29

Total outcomes

126 + 54 = 180 tattoed people

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

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

Answers

Answer:

0.749

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

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

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

So the probability of picking up all 3 red balls is

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

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

1 - 0.251 = 0.749

A 22 KHz baseband channel is used by a digital transmission system. Suppose ideal pulses are sent at the Nyquist rate, and the pulses can take 1024 levels. There is no noise in the system. What is the bit rate of this system

Number of levels = L = 1024 levels

Bit per sample:

 [tex]m=log_2 L\\\\m =log_2(1024)\\\\m=10 bits/sample[/tex]

Ideal pulses are sent at the Nyquist rate then bit rate = 2 x W x m

[tex]bit\,\,rate= 2\times 22\times 10^3\times 10\\\\bit\,\,rate= 440\times 10^3 bits\,sec^{-1}[/tex]

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

Answers

Answer:

the bridge has a height y₀ = 6.94 m

Step-by-step explanation:

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

y = y₀ - 1/2*g*t²

where

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

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

x= x₀  + v*t

where

x₀= initial position of the car

v= car's velocity

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

0= x₀  + v*t

t= -x₀/v

replacing in the equation for y

0 = y₀ - 1/2*g*t²

0 = y₀ - 1/2*g*(-x₀/v)²

0 = y₀ - 1/2*g*x₀²/v²

y₀ =  1/2*g*x₀²/v²

replacing values

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

then the bridge has a height y₀ =6.94 m

We have assumed that

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

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

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

Answers

Answer:

-1.28 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

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

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

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

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

By Pythagoras theorem

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

Substitute x=10 and y=8

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

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

Differentiate w.r.t t

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

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

Substitute the values

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

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

Because he never moves the rod.

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

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

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

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above illlustration,

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

y, the number of baseball in the morning shift,

z, the number of football in the evening shift,

t, the number of baseball in the evening shift.

Minimizing the objective function,

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

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

0.75x + 2y ≤ 5000

0.75z + 2t ≤ 2000

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

7x + 15y ≤ 15000

7z + 15t ≤1 4000

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

0.5x + 2y ≤ 2000

0.5z + 2t ≤ 1500

Modelling their demands through the following constraints:

x + z ≥ 1500

y + t ≥ 1200

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

x, y, z, t ∈Z.

Finally,

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

0.75x + 2y ≤ 5000

0.75z + 2t ≤ 2000

7x + 15y ≤ 15000

7z + 15t ≤ 14000

0.5x + 2y ≤ 2000

0.5z + 2t ≤ 1500

x + z ≥ 1500

y + t ≥ 1200

y, x, t, z ∈ Z.

If a confidence interval is given from 45.82 up to 55.90 and the mean is known to be 50.86, what is the margin of error?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] ME = \frac{10.08}{2}= 5.04[/tex]

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=50.86[/tex] represent the sample mean  

[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean

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 ME[/tex]   (1)

Or equivalently:

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

Where the margin of error is given by:

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

For this case we have the confidence interval limits given (45.82, 55.90)

We can find the width of the interval like this:

[tex] Width =55.90-45.82= 10.08[/tex]

And now the margin of error would be the half of the width since we assume that the confidence interval is symmetrical.

[tex] ME = \frac{10.08}{2}= 5.04[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Keeping water supplies clean requires regular measurement of levels of pollutants. The measurements are indirect—a typical analysis involves forming a dye by a chemical reaction with the dissolved pollutant, then passing light through the solution and measuring its "absorbence." To calibrate such measurements, the laboratory measures known standard solutions and uses regression to relate absorbence and pollutant concentration. This is usually done every day. Here is one series of data on the absorbence for different levels of nitrates. Nitrates are measured in milligrams per liter of water.

Nitrates 50 50 100 200 400 800 1200 1600 2000 2000

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

Answers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A financial talk show host claims to have a 55.3 % success rate in his investment recommendations. You collect some data over the next few weeks, and find that out 10 recommendations, he was correct 3 times. If the claim is correct and the performance of recommendations is independent, what is the probability that you would have observed 4 or fewer successfu

Answers

Answer:

There is a 25.52% probability of observating 4 our fewer succesful recommendations.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each recommendation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it was a success, or it was a failure. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

[tex]p = 0.553, n = 10[/tex]

If the claim is correct and the performance of recommendations is independent, what is the probability that you would have observed 4 or fewer successful:

This is

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.553)^{0}.(0.447)^{10} = 0.0003[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.553)^{1}.(0.447)^{9} = 0.0039[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.553)^{2}.(0.447)^{8} = 0.0219[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.553)^{3}.(0.447)^{7} = 0.0724[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.553)^{4}.(0.447)^{6} = 0.1567[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0003 + 0.0039 + 0.0219 + 0.0724 + 0.1567 = 0.2552[/tex]

There is a 25.52% probability of observating 4 our fewer succesful recommendations.

An elementary school is offering 2 language classes: one in Spanish (S) and one in French (F). Given that P(S) = 50%, P(F) = 40%, P(S ∪ F) = 70%, find the probability that a randomly selected student (a) is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French; (b) is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish. 2. A pair of fair dice is rolled until a sum of either 5 or 7 appears.

Answers

Answer:

(a) Probability that a randomly selected student is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French = 0.5 .

(b) Probability that a randomly selected student is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish = 0.6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an elementary school is offering 2 language classes ;

 Spanish Language is denoted by S and French language is denoted by F.

Also we are given, P(S) = 0.5 {Probability of students taking Spanish language}

P(F) = 0.4 {Probability of students taking French language}

[tex]P(S\bigcup F)[/tex] = 0.7 {Probability of students taking Spanish or French Language}

We know that,  [tex]P(A\bigcup B)[/tex]  = [tex]P(A) + P(B) -[/tex] [tex]P(A\bigcap B)[/tex]

So, [tex]P(S\bigcap F)[/tex] = [tex]P(S) + P(F) - P(S\bigcup F)[/tex] = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.7 = 0.2

[tex]P(S\bigcap F)[/tex] means Probability of students taking  both Spanish and French Language.

Also, P(S)' = 1 - P(S) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

         P(F)' = 1 - P(F) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

        [tex]P(S'\bigcap F')[/tex] = 1 -  [tex]P(S\bigcup F)[/tex] = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

(a) Probability that a randomly selected student is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French is given by P(S/F);

  P(S/F) = [tex]\frac{P(S\bigcap F)}{P(F)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.2}{0.4}[/tex] = 0.5

(b) Probability that a randomly selected student is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish is given by P(F'/S');

   P(F'/S') = [tex]\frac{P(S'\bigcap F')}{P(S')}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1- P(S\bigcup F)}{1-P(S)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.3}{0.5}[/tex] = 0.6 .

Answer: the third option is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the line plot,

There are 3 bags of oranges that weigh 3 7/8 pounds each. Converting 3 7/8 to improper fraction, it becomes 31/8 pounds. Therefore, the weight of the three bags would be

3 × 31/8 = 93/8 pounds

There are 2 bags of oranges that weigh 4 pounds each. Therefore, the weight of the four bags would be

2 × 4 = 8 pounds

There are 3 bags of oranges that weigh 4 1/8 pounds each. Converting 4 1/8 to improper fraction, it becomes 33/8 pounds. Therefore, the weight of the three bags would be

3 × 33/8 = 99/8 pounds

There are 2 bags of oranges that weigh 4 2/8 pounds each. Converting 4 2/8 to improper fraction, it becomes 34/8 pounds. Therefore, the weight of the three bags would be

2 × 34/8 = 68/8

Therefore, the total number of oranges would be

93/8 + 33/8 + 4 + 102/8 = (93 + 64 + 99 + 68)/8 = 324/8 = 40 1/2 pounds

Answer:

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

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

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

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

X      1    2    3    4    5

F     74   10  11    3    2

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

X          1          2        3         4          5

P(X)     0.74   0.10   0.11    0.03    0.02

Previous concepts

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

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

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

Solution to the problem

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

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

And if we use the values obtained we got:  

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

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

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

And using the formula we got:  

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

Then we can find the variance with the following formula:  

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

And then the standard deviation would be given by:  

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

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

Answers

Answer:

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

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

b) [tex]p_v =P(z>1.07)=0.1423[/tex]  

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

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

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

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

Part b

Data given and notation

n=400 represent the random sample taken

X=52 represent the workers belonged to unions

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

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

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

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

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

Concepts and formulas to use  

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

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

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

Calculate the statistic  

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

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

Statistical decision  

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

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

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

[tex]p_v =P(z>1.07)=0.1423[/tex]  

Part c

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