Murphy family has 4 members and they went to 7 games. Chen family has 5 members and they went to 4 games. In total, the two families spent $1200. If the seats cost the same for each person, how much did the Murphy family spend?
The Murphy family spend $ 700
Solution:
Given that,
Murphy family has 4 members and they went to 7 games
Let "x" be the cost of each game
Murphy family cost: [tex]4 \times 7 \times x = 28x[/tex]
Chen family has 5 members and they went to 4 games
Chen family cost: [tex]5 \times 4 \times x = 20x[/tex]
In total, the two families spent $1200
Therefore,
28x + 20x = 1200
48x = 1200
Divide both sides by 48
x = 25
How much did the Murphy family spend?
Murphy family cost = 28x = 28(25) = 700
Thus murphy family spend $ 700

A homes value increases at a average rate of 5.5% each yea. The current value is $120,000. What function can be used to find the value of the home after X years?
Answer: the function is
A = 120000(1.055)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
A homes value increases at an average rate of 5.5% each year. The growth rate is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as
A = P(1 + r/n)^ nt
Where
A represents the value of the home after t years.
n represents the period of growth
t represents the number of years.
P represents the initial value of the home.
r represents rate of increase in value.
From the information given,
P = 120000
r = 5.5% = 5.5/100 = 0.055
n = 1
Therefore
A = 120000(1 + 0.055/1)^ x × 1
A = 120000(1.055)^x
Consider two population distributions labeled X and Y. Distribution X is highly skewed while the distribution Y is slightly skewed. In order for the sampling distributions of X and Y to achieve the same degree of normality
A. Population Y will require a larger sample size
B. Population X will require a larger sample size
C. Population X and Y will require the same sample size
D. None of the above
Answer: B. Population X will require a larger sample size
Step-by-step explanation:
If a random variable say p has skewed distribution (whether right or left ) in a population then a bigger sample size is needed to make sure that the sampling distribution follows normal distribution.Given : Two population distributions labeled X and Y.
Distribution X → highly skewed
Distribution Y → slightly skewed.
Since Distribution X more skewed so , we will need a larger sample size of population X as compared to Y.
Hence, the correct answer is B. Population X will require a larger sample size
The correct option is B. Population X will require a larger sample size.
According to the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of the sample mean will tend to be normally distributed as the sample size becomes larger, regardless of the shape of the population distribution. However, the rate at which the sampling distribution approaches normality depends on the degree of skewness in the population distribution.
For a population distribution that is highly skewed (like Distribution X), a larger sample size is needed for the sampling distribution to approximate a normal distribution compared to a population distribution that is only slightly skewed (like Distribution Y). This is because the effects of skewness are more pronounced and take longer to "average out" in larger samples.
Therefore, to achieve the same degree of normality in their respective sampling distributions, Population X, with its high skewness, will require a larger sample size than Population Y, which is only slightly skewed.
A hypothesis test is to be conducted using LaTeX: \alphaα = 0.05. This means:_________.
a) there is a 5 percent chance that a Type II error has been committed.
b) there is a 5 percent chance that the alternative hypothesis is true.
c) there is a maximum 5 percent chance that a true null hypothesis will be rejected.
d) there is a 5 percent chance that the null hypothesis is true.
Answer:
c)
Step-by-step explanation:
α also known as type I error depicts the probability of rejecting the true null hypothesis. So, when α=0.05 then it means that there is 5% probability or chance of rejecting the true null hypothesis.
So, in hypothesis testing α=0.05 means that there is a maximum 5 percent chance that a true null hypothesis will be rejected.

Marisa wants to buy a quality phone for least $200.She has already saved $125 and plans to save an additional $10 each week.Write an inequality that represents this
The inequality representing Marisa's goal to buy a phone costing at least $200, with $125 already saved and a plan to save $10 each week, is 125 + 10w \\geq 200, where w is the number of weeks of additional savings.
Explanation:To write an inequality that represents Marisa's situation, we need to consider the amount she has already saved, the additional amount she plans to save weekly, and the minimum amount she needs for the phone. Marisa wants a phone that costs at least $200 and has saved $125. She plans to save $10 each week. We can use the variable w to represent the number of weeks she will save additional money.
Marisa's current savings plus the additional amount she plans to save for w weeks needs to be at least $200. This situation can be represented by the following inequality:
125 + 10w \\geq 200
Here, 125 represents the amount already saved, 10w represents the additional amount saved after w weeks, and the inequality symbol \\geq (greater than or equal to) establishes that Marisa's total savings must be at least $200.

What is a polynomial function in standard form with zeroes 1, 2, -3, and -1 ?
Answer:
[tex]p(x) = {x}^{4} + {x}^{3} - 7 {x}^{2} - x + 6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial function has zeros
x=1, x=2,x=-3,x=-1
This means the factored form of the polynomial is
[tex]p(x) = (x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 3)(x - 2)[/tex]
We expand to get:
[tex]p(x) = ( {x}^{2} - 1)( {x}^{2} + x - 6)[/tex]
We expand further to get:
[tex]p(x) = {x}^{2}( {x}^{2} + x - 6) - 1({x}^{2} + x - 6)[/tex]
[tex]p(x) = {x}^{4} + {x}^{3} - 6 {x}^{2} - {x}^{2} - x + 6[/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]p(x) = {x}^{4} + {x}^{3} - 7 {x}^{2} - x + 6[/tex]
This is the standard form of the polynomial since it is written in descending powers of x.
Julia has 2 children who are 4 years apart in age. Julia is four times older than her youngest child. The sum of the ages of Julia and her 2 kids is 76 years
Answer: Julia is 48 years
The oldest child is 16 years
The youngest child is 12 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Let y represent the age of the oldest child.
Let x represent Julia's age.
The sum of the ages of Julia and her 2 kids is 76 years. This means that
x + y + z = 76- - - - - - - - - - -1
Julia has 2 children who are 4 years apart in age. This means that
y = x + 4
Julia is four times older than her youngest child. This means that
z = 4x
Substituting z = 4x and y = x + 4 into equation 1, it becomes
x + x + 4 + 4x = 76
6x = 76 - 4 = 72
x = 72/6 = 12
y = x + 4 = 12 + 4
y = 16
z = 4x = 4 × 12
z = 48

Using this equation for Wien’s Law (λ = 2898/T), the wavelength most emitted by the Sun (T = 6000K) is approximately: a. 48.3 µm b. 483 µm c. 0.48 µm
Step-by-step explanation:
By Wien’s Law we have
[tex]\lambda =\frac{2898}{T}[/tex]
where λ is in μm and T is in K
Given that
T = 6000 K
Substituting
[tex]\lambda =\frac{2898}{6000}=0.483\mu m[/tex]
Option C is the correct answer.
Final answer:
By using Wien's Law with the given temperature of the Sun (6000K), we calculate the peak emission wavelength as 0.483 micrometers, which corresponds to option c. 0.48 µm.
Explanation:
The student asked about the wavelength most emitted by the Sun as predicted by Wien's Law, given the temperature of 6000K using the equation λ = 2898/T, where λ is the wavelength in micrometers and T is the temperature in Kelvin. According to Wien's displacement law, the temperature and peak wavelength of emission of an object are inversely proportional.
Plugging in the given temperature (T = 6000K) into the equation λ = 2898/T, we calculate the peak emission wavelength to be 2898/6000 = 0.483 µm.
So, the correct answer is c. 0.48 µm.

When we use a least-squares line to predict y values for x values beyond the range of x values found in the data, are we extrapolating or interpolating? Are there any concerns about such predictions? (Choose one)
A) We are extrapolating. Extrapolation is dangerous because the pattern of data may change outside the x range.
B) We are interpolating. There are no concerns about interpolation.
C) We are interpolating. Interpolation is dangerous because the pattern of data may change inside the x range.
D) We are extrapolating. There are no concerns about extrapolation.
Answer:
A) We are extrapolating. Extrapolation is dangerous because the pattern of data may change outside the x range.
Step-by-step explanation:
When we use a least-squares line to predict y values for x values beyond the range of x values found in the data, are we extrapolating or interpolating? Are there any concerns about such predictions? (Choose one)
A) We are extrapolating. Extrapolation is dangerous because the pattern of data may change outside the x range.
B) We are interpolating. There are no concerns about interpolation.
C) We are interpolating. Interpolation is dangerous because the pattern of data may change inside the x range.
D) We are extrapolating. There are no concerns about extrapolation.
The answer is A
assuming we are looking for the value of y within the range of x, we are interpolating. Take for instance, the range of xi between 60 and 65, what is the value of y at point 62.5. This is interpolation.
But then we have the data sets of temperature of a particular place within 1 to 15 days in a month. if we are asked to look for its temperature on the 31st of that particular month, we are extrapolating, which might take a different pattern from the line of best bit
Using a least-squares line to predict y values for x values beyond the range of the data is called extrapolation. This process is risky because the pattern of data may change outside of the existing range, leading to inaccurate predictions.
Explanation:When using a least-squares line to predict y values for x values beyond the range of x values found in the data, we are extrapolating. This is because we are making predictions outside of the range of the existing data set. However, extrapolation comes with certain risks. The pattern of the data may not remain constant beyond the data we have, leading to inaccurate predictions.
Therefore, answer A is the most accurate: 'We are extrapolating. Extrapolation is dangerous because the pattern of data may change outside the x range.'

Suppose that the probability density function for the length x in feet of some type of fish caught by sport fishermen is given by p(x)=14 if 0≤x≤4, and is zero otherwise. What is the probability that a fish caught by a fisherman is between 0.25 and 2 feet long? 1/4 is less than 0.25 feet long?
For the described uniform distribution, the probability that a fish is between 0.25 and 2 feet long can be found by calculating the area under the probability density function graph, which gives a result of 43.75%.
Explanation:The given situation implies a uniform distribution as the probability density function is constant (equal to 1/4) for fish lengths between 0 and 4 feet, and zero otherwise. For such a distribution, the probability that the length x is in an interval can be found by calculating the area under the probability density function graph for that interval. As the graph is a rectangle, this is as simple as length times width.
Here, the interval is from 0.25 to 2 feet. The length of this interval is (2 - 0.25)= 1.75 feet. The width of the rectangle is the constant probability density function value of 1/4. Hence, the probability that a fish caught by the sports fishermen is between 0.25 and 2 feet long is 1.75 * 1/4 = 0.4375 or 43.75%.

Ethan decides to type up some documents while waiting for the meeting to start he can type two pages every 1/8 hour if the meeting starts 3/4 hour later than the scheduled time how many pages can he typed before the meeting starts
Answer:
Ethan can type 12 pages before the meeting starts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of pages he can type =2
Number of hours he can type 2 pages = [tex]\frac{1}8\ hrs[/tex]
We need to find number of pages he can type in [tex]\frac34\ hrs[/tex]
Solution:
Now first we will find number of pages in 1 hour
So we can say;
In [tex]\frac{1}8\ hrs[/tex] = 2 pages
In 1 hour = number of pages he can type in 1 hour
By Using Unitary method we get;
number of pages he can type in 1 hour = [tex]\frac{2}{\frac18} =\frac{2\times8}{1}=16\ pages[/tex]
Now we can say that;
In 1 hour = 16 pages
So [tex]\frac34\ hrs[/tex] = number of pages he can type in [tex]\frac34\ hrs[/tex]
Again By using Unitary method we get;
number of pages he can type in [tex]\frac34\ hrs[/tex] = [tex]16\times \frac34 = 12\ pages[/tex]
Hence Ethan can type 12 pages before the meeting starts.
Final answer:
Ethan has 3/4 hours to type and can complete two pages every 1/8 hour, resulting in a total of 12 pages typed before the meeting starts.
Explanation:
Ethan can type two pages every 1/8 hour. To find out how many pages he can type before the start of the meeting, we need to calculate the total pages he can type in the waiting time of 3/4 hours. Here's the step-by-step calculation:
Calculate the number of 1/8 hour intervals in 3/4 hours by dividing: (3/4) ÷ (1/8) = (3/4) × (8/1) = 6.
Since he types two pages every 1/8 hour, we find the total number of pages by multiplying the number of intervals by 2: 6 × 2 = 12 pages.
Therefore, Ethan can type a total of 12 pages before the meeting starts.

In this moment the position of the submarine is
-270 ft ---> is negative because is below the sea level
2) It then rises 90 feet
In this moment the position of the submarine is
-270+90=-180 feet
3) rises another 40 feet,
In this moment the position of the submarine is
-180+40=-140 feet
4) Finally dives 55 feet
In this moment the position of the submarine is
-140-55=-195 feet
therefore
The action required by the submarine to get back to the surface is to rise 195 feet
Final answer:
The submarine initially dives to 270 feet below the surface and undergoes a series of rises and dives. After all movements, it is at a depth of 195 feet. To return to the surface, it needs to rise 195 feet.
Explanation:
A student asked: A submarine dives 270 feet below the ocean's surface. It then rises 90 feet, rises another 40 feet, and finally dives 55 feet. What action is required by the submarine to get back to the surface?
To solve this problem, we will sum up the changes in the submarine's depth and find out how much more it needs to rise to reach the surface.
Initial dive: -270 feet (diving increases the depth, so it's represented as a negative number)First rise: +90 feetSecond rise: +40 feetFinal dive: -55 feetSumming up these changes: -270 + 90 + 40 - 55 = -195 feet.
The submarine is currently 195 feet below the surface. Therefore, to get back to the surface, the submarine needs to rise 195 feet.
Suppose that a basketball player different from the
ones in Example 2.5-2 and in Exercise 2.5-1 can make a
free throw 60% of the time. Let X equal the minimum
number of free throws that this player must attempt to
make a total of 10 shots.
(a) Give the mean, variance, and standard deviation of X.
(b) Find P(X = 16).
Answer:
a. Mean = 6
Variance = 2.4
Standard Deviation = 1.55
b. P(X=16) = 0.124
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
n = Total shots = 10
p = Probability of success = 60%
p = 60/100
p= 0.6
q = Probability of failure
q = 1-p
q = 1 - 0.6
q = 0.4
a.
Mean = np
Mean = 10 * 0.6
Mean = 6
Variance = npq
Variance = 10 * 0.6 * 0.4
Variance = 2.4
Standard Deviation = √Variance
Standard Deviation = √2.4
Standard Deviation = 1.549193338482966
Standard Deviation = 1.55 --------- approximated
b.
We have X = 16
x = 10
Assume that the events "success" on the various throws are independent.
The 10th success came on the 16th attempt
So, the player had exactly 10 successes and 6 failures on 16th trial
So Probability = nCr 0.6^10 * 0.4^6
Where n = 15 and r = 9 (number of attempts and success before the 16th trial)
15C9 * 0.6^10 * 0.4^6
= 5005 * 0.0060466176 * 0.004096
= 0.123958563176448
= 0.124 ------ Approximated
A. The mean, variance, and standard deviation of x are: Mean: 16.67, Variance: 11.11 and Standard deviation: 3.33. B. The probability that the player will need exactly 16 attempts to make 10 successful shots is approximately 0.123
Given that a basketball player can make a free throw 60% of the time, we are to determine the minimum number of free throws that this player must attempt to make a total of 10 shots.
Since each shot is independent and has a 60% chance of being successful, this scenario follows a negative binomial distribution.
(a) Calculating the mean, variance, and standard deviation:
Mean:
[tex]\[ \mathbb{E}[X] = \frac{r}{p} = \frac{10}{0.60} = \frac{10}{0.6} = 16.67 \][/tex]
Variance:
[tex]\[ \text{Var}(X) = \frac{r(1-p)}{p^2} = \frac{10(1-0.60)}{0.60^2} = \frac{10 \cdot 0.40}{0.36} = \frac{4}{0.36} = 11.11 \][/tex]
Standard deviation:
[tex]\[ \sigma = \sqrt{\text{Var}(X)} = \sqrt{11.11} \approx 3.33 \][/tex]
So, the mean, variance, and standard deviation of x are: Mean: 16.67, Variance: 11.11 and Standard deviation: 3.33
(b) Finding P(X = 16)
The probability mass function of a negative binomial random variable \is given by:
[tex]\[ P(X = k) = \binom{k-1}{r-1} p^r (1-p)^{k-r} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ P(X = 16) = \binom{15}{9} (0.60)^{10} (0.40)^{6} \][/tex]
Calculating the binomial coefficient:
[tex]\[ \binom{15}{9} = \frac{15!}{9!(15-9)!} = \frac{15!}{9!6!} \][/tex]
This can be computed as follows:
[tex]\[ \binom{15}{9} = \frac{15 \cdot 14 \cdot 13 \cdot 12 \cdot 11 \cdot 10}{6 \cdot 5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1} = 5005 \][/tex]
Combining these:
[tex]\[ P(X = 16) = 5005 \cdot 0.0060466 \cdot 0.004096 \approx 0.123 \][/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\[ P(X = 16) \approx 0.123 \][/tex]
So, the probability that the player will need exactly 16 attempts to make 10 successful shots is approximately 0.123
