g Steel used for water pipelines is often coated on the inside with cement mortar to prevent corrosion. In a study of the mortar coatings of the pipeline used in a water transmission project in California, researchers noted that the mortar thickness was specified to be 7/16 inch. A very large sample of thickness measurements produced a mean equal to 0.635 inch and astandard deviation equal to 0.082 inch. If the thickness measurements were normally distributed, approximately what proportion were less than 7/16 inch?
Answer:
[tex]P(X<0.4375)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.4375-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{0.4375-0.635}{0.082})=P(z<-2.41)[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the z table and we got:
[tex]P(z<-2.41)=0.0080[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable that represent the thickness of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
[tex]X \sim N(0.635,0.082)[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu=0.635[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=0.032[/tex]
We are interested on this probability
[tex]P(X<0.4375)[/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<0.4375)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.4375-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{0.4375-0.635}{0.082})=P(z<-2.41)[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the z table and we got:
[tex]P(z<-2.41)=0.0080[/tex]

Construct 3 linear equation starting with qiven solution z = 1/3
Answer:
(a)[tex]9z+2=5[/tex]
(b)[tex]21z-11=-4[/tex]
(c)[tex]4z=2-2z[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are required to construct 3 linear equations starting with the given solution z = 1/3.
Equation 1
[tex]z=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 9
[tex]9z=\frac{1}{3}\times 9\\9z=3[/tex]
Rewrite 3 as 5-2
9z=5-2
Add 2 to both sides
Our first equation is: [tex]9z+2=5[/tex]
Equation 2
[tex]z=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 21
[tex]21z=\frac{1}{3}\times 21\\21z=7[/tex]
Rewrite 7 as 11-4
21z=11-4
Subtract 11 from both sides
Our second equation is: [tex]21z-11=-4[/tex]
Equation 3
[tex]z=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 6
[tex]6z=\frac{1}{3}\times 6\\6z=2[/tex]
Rewrite 6z as 4z+2z
4z+2z=2
Subtract 2z from both sides
Our third equation is: [tex]4z=2-2z[/tex]
g red bell pepper seeds germinates 85% of the time. planted 25 seeds. What is the probability that 20 or more germinate
Answer:
[tex] P(X\geq 20)= P(X=20)+P(X=21)+P(X=22)+P(X=23)+P(X=24)+P(X=25)[/tex]
And replacing using the mass function we got:
[tex]P(X=20)=(25C20)(0.85)^{20} (1-0.85)^{25-20}=0.156[/tex]
[tex]P(X=21)=(25C21)(0.85)^{21} (1-0.85)^{25-21}=0.211[/tex]
[tex]P(X=22)=(25C22)(0.85)^{22} (1-0.85)^{25-22}=0.217[/tex]
[tex]P(X=23)=(25C23)(0.85)^{23} (1-0.85)^{25-23}=0.161[/tex]
[tex]P(X=24)=(25C24)(0.85)^{24} (1-0.85)^{25-24}=0.0759[/tex]
[tex]P(X=25)=(25C25)(0.85)^{25} (1-0.85)^{25-25}=0.0172[/tex]
And adding the values we got:
[tex] P(X\geq 20) = 0.8381[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:
[tex]X \sim Binom(n=25, p=0.85)[/tex]
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]
We want to find the following probability:
[tex] P(X\geq 20)= P(X=20)+P(X=21)+P(X=22)+P(X=23)+P(X=24)+P(X=25)[/tex]
And replacing using the mass function we got:
[tex]P(X=20)=(25C20)(0.85)^{20} (1-0.85)^{25-20}=0.156[/tex]
[tex]P(X=21)=(25C21)(0.85)^{21} (1-0.85)^{25-21}=0.211[/tex]
[tex]P(X=22)=(25C22)(0.85)^{22} (1-0.85)^{25-22}=0.217[/tex]
[tex]P(X=23)=(25C23)(0.85)^{23} (1-0.85)^{25-23}=0.161[/tex]
[tex]P(X=24)=(25C24)(0.85)^{24} (1-0.85)^{25-24}=0.0759[/tex]
[tex]P(X=25)=(25C25)(0.85)^{25} (1-0.85)^{25-25}=0.0172[/tex]
And adding the values we got:
[tex] P(X\geq 20) = 0.8381[/tex]

Answer:
The significance level for this case would be [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and the critical value for this case would be:
[tex] z_{\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]
The margin of error is given by:
[tex] ME = z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] ME = 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.23*(1-0.23)}{146}} =0.0683[/tex]
And the margin of error for this case would be [tex] ME = 0.07[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following dataset given:
[tex] n= 146[/tex] represent the sample size
[tex] \hat p =0.23[/tex] represent the estimated proportion of interest
[tex] Conf=0.95[/tex] represent the confidence level
The significance level for this case would be [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and the critical value for this case would be:
[tex] z_{\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]
The margin of error is given by:
[tex] ME = z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] ME = 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.23*(1-0.23)}{146}} =0.0683[/tex]
And the margin of error for this case would be [tex] ME = 0.07[/tex]
Maria’s office is located at (–7,–5) on the coordinate plane. Her home is located at (4,–6) and the supermarket is located at (–2,–6). When returning back from the office, she first goes to the supermarket to buy some groceries, and then goes back home. Find the total distance she traveled from her office to home.
Answer:
Total distance= 15.055 unit
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance between the first journey i.e from her office to the supermarket is calculated as follows given the coordinates.
(-5,-7) and (4,-6)
The distance between those tow points
Is
= √((4-(-5))² +( (-6)-(-7))²)
= √(9²+1²)
= √ 81+1
= √ 82
= 9.055
Noe the distance between the second journey traveled i.e from the supermarket to her house is calculated as follows given the coordinates.
(4,-6) and (-2,-6)
Distance= √((4--2)² +( -6--6)12
Distance = √(4+2)² + 0
Distance = √ 6²
Distance = 6
Total distance= 9.055 + 6
Total distance= 15.055

Mrs. Lang is 4 times as old as her daughter Jill. The sum of their ages is 60 years. Set up the two equations that can be used to find each of their ages. Constraint 1: The solution must satisfy the ratio of their ages. Constraint 2: The solution must satisfy the sum of their ages. Only constraint would be met if Mrs. Lang is 32 and Jill is 8. Only constraint would be met if Mrs. Lang is 45 and Jill is 15.
Answer:
The two equations that can be used to find each of their ages are [tex]x=4 \times y[/tex] and [tex]x+y=60[/tex] .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Mrs. Lang is 4 times as old as her daughter Jill. The sum of their ages is 60 years.
Let the age of Mrs. Lang be 'x years' and the age of her daughter Jill be 'y years'.
Now, according to the question;
The first condition states that Mrs. Lang is 4 times as old as her daughter Jill, that means;[tex]x=4 \times y[/tex] ----------------- [equation 1]
The second condition states that the sum of their ages is 60 years, that means;[tex]x+y=60[/tex]
[tex]4y + y = 60[/tex] {using equation 1}
[tex]5y=60[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{60}{5}[/tex]
y = 12 years
Now, putting the value of y in equation 1 we get;
[tex]x=4 \times y[/tex]
[tex]x= 4 \times 12[/tex] = 48 years
Hence, the age of Mrs. Lang is 48 years and her daughter Jill is 12 years old.
Answer:
Mrs. Lang is 48 and her daughter is 12 years old.

Lisa is in charge of planning a reception for 3600 people. She is trying to decide which snacks to buy. She has asked a random sample of people who are coming to the reception what their favorite snack is. Here are the results.
Favorite Snack Number of People
Brownies 32
Cookies 22
chips 56
other 65
Based on the above sample, predict the number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be chips. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations.
Answer:
The expected number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be chips is 1152
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The data in the above table and
Reception = 3600
Required
Predict the number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be chips.
The first step is to determine the total number of samples;
[tex]Total = Brownies + Cookies + Chips + Other[/tex]
[tex]Total = 32 + 22 + 56 + 65[/tex]
[tex]Total = 175[/tex]
The next step is to determine the fraction of people whose favorite is chips
[tex]Fraction = \frac{Chips}{Total}[/tex]
[tex]Fraction = \frac{56}{175}[/tex]
The product of the above fraction and the expected number of people in the reception is the solution to this question;
[tex]Expected\ Number = \frac{56}{175} * 3600[/tex]
[tex]Expected\ Number = \frac{56* 3600}{175}[/tex]
[tex]Expected\ Number = \frac{201600}{175}[/tex]
[tex]Expected\ Number = 1152[/tex]
Hence, the expected number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be chips is 1152
What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (12, -2)? A) y = -6/5x + 10 B) y= -6/5x + 12 C) y = -5/6x -10 D) y = 5/6x - 12
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines are those that have the same slope, or coefficient of x.
Here, let's calculate the slope of the given line. Slope is the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates, so given the two coordinates (12, 6) and (0, -4):
slope = m = (-4 - 6) / (0 - 12) = -10 / (-12) = 10/12 = 5/6
So the slope is 5/6. That means the equation we want should also have a slope of 5/6. Already, we can eliminate A, B, and C, leaving D as our answer. But, let's check.
The equation of a line can be written as [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where m is the slope and [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is the coordinates of a given point.
Here, our slope is 5/6 and our given point is (12, -2). So plug these in:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
[tex]y-(-2)=(5/6)(x-12)[/tex]
[tex]y+2=\frac{5}{6} x-10[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{5}{6} x-12[/tex]
This matches D, so we know that it's the correct answer.

A respiratory therapist predicts that the proportion of U.S. college students who smoke hookah is greater than 30%. To test this prediction, she surveys 300 random U.S. college, and it is determined that 80 of them smoke hookah. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: H0:p=0.30 H0:p>0.30 The p-value for this hypothesis test is 0.10. At the 5% significance level, should she reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Select the correct answer below: Reject the null hypothesis because 0.30>0.05. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because 0.30>0.05. Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is less than the significance level α=0.05. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is more than the significance level α=0.05.
Answer:
Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is more than the significance level α=0.05.
Step-by-step explanation:
The significant level for this case study is 5% - 0.05. If the results gotten is less than the significance level, we reject the null hypothesis, but if greater, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
In this case study, the p-value is 0.10 which is a lot higher than 0.05, thus we will fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is more than the significance level α=0.05.
A school is 16km due west of a school q.
What is the bearing of q from p?
Answer:
16 km due west
Step-by-step explanation:
The bearing of the school p from school q is 16 km due west.
To find the bearing of school q from school p, we have to find the direction that the school q is with respect to school p.
Since p is directly west of q, then it implies that q must be directly east of p.
We now know the direction.
Since the distance from q to p is exactly the same as the distance from p to q, then, the distance from p to q is 16 km.
Hence, the bearing of q from p is 16 km due west.
Find the lateral (side) surface area of the cone generated by revolving the line segment y equals seven halves x , 0 less than or equals x less than or equals 5, about the x-axis. Check your answer with the following geometry formula. Lateral surface areaequalsone half times base circumference times slant height
Answer:
[tex]Area=7\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{53}{4}}\,\,\frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the integral formula for the surface area of revolution of the function y(x) around the x-axis, which is:
[tex]Area=\int\limits^b_a {2\,\pi\,y\,\sqrt{1+(\frac{dy}{dx} )^2} } \, dx[/tex]
and which in our case, we can obtain the following:
[tex]y=\frac{7}{2} \,x\\\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{7}{2} \\(\frac{dy}{dx})^2=\frac{49}{4} \\\sqrt{1+(\frac{dy}{dx})^2} =\sqrt{1+\frac{49}{4} } =\sqrt{\frac{53}{4} }[/tex]
Recall as well that [tex]0\leq x\leq 5[/tex], which gives us the limits of integration:
[tex]Area=\int\limits^b_a {2\,\pi\,y\,\sqrt{1+(\frac{dy}{dx} )^2} } \, dx\\Area=\int\limits^5_0 {2\,\pi\,(\frac{7}{2}\,x) \,\sqrt{\frac{53}{4} } } \, dx\\Area=7\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{53}{4}}\,\, \int\limits^5_0 {x} \, dx \\Area=7\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{53}{4}}\,\,\frac{x^2}{2} |\limits^5_0\\Area=7\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{53}{4}}\,\,\frac{25}{2}[/tex]
If we compare it with the geometry formula:
Lateral surface of cone = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \,\,(Base_{circ})\,\,(slant\,height)= \frac{1}{2} (2\,\pi\,\frac{7}{2} 5)\.(\sqrt{5^2+(\frac{35}{2})^2 } =\frac{7}{2} \,\pi\,25\.\,\sqrt{\frac{53}{4} }[/tex]
which is exactly the expression we calculated with the integral.
Compute the critical value z Subscript alpha divided by 2 that corresponds to a 86% level of confidence.
Answer:
z = 1.476
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.86}{2} = 0.07[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].
So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.07 = 0.93[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.476[/tex]
The answer is z = 1.476

Solve the following system by substitution.
y = - 3x + 11
5x + y = 21
Answer:
x = 5 and y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = - 3x + 11 ______(1)
5x + y = 21______(2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
5x + (-3x + 11) = 21
5x - 3x + 11 = 21
2x = 21-11
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
Now substitute x = 5 into (1).
y = -3(5) + 11
y = -15 + 11
y = -4
Hence, x = 5 and y = -4
What is the horizontal asymptote of the function f (x) = StartFraction (x minus 2) Over (x minus 3) squared EndFraction?
The horizontal asymptote of the function f(x) = (x-2)/(x-3)² is at y = 0 which is the x-axis.
What is an asymptote?An asymptote is a line that is approached by a curve but never touches it. In other words, an asymptote is a line where the graph of a function converges.
What is the horizontal asymptote?Because a horizontal asymptote is a horizontal line, its equation is of the form y = k. The horizontal asymptote of a rational function is at y = 0, which is the x-axis if the degree of the numerator is smaller than the degree of the denominator.
How to solve this problem?Here, the function is f(x) = (x-2)/(x-3)². Here the degree of the numerator of this rational function is 1 and the degree of the denominator is 2. Since 1<2, the horizontal asymptote is at y = 0 which is the x-axis.
The horizontal asymptote of the function f(x) = (x-2)/(x-3)² is at y = 0 which is the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:
When two lines are parallel, their slopes are the same.
Since the slope of line l is 2/7, the slope of its parallel line m must also be 2/7.
The answer is C.
Answer:
C. 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines are lines that have the same slopes.
We know that line l is parallel to line m.
Therefore, the slope of line l is equal to the slope of line m.
[tex]m_{l} =m_{m}[/tex]
We know that line l has a slope of 2/7.

Thomas wants to invite Madeline to a party. He has an 80% chance of bumping into her at school. Otherwise, he’ll call her on the phone. If he talks to her at school, he’s 90% likely to ask her to a party. However, he’s only 60% likely to ask her over the phone. What is the probability of Thomas inviting Madeline to the party at school?
Answer:
84%
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of Thomas bumping into her at school is 80%, so the probability of not bumping into her is 100% - 80% = 20%.
If he doesn't bump into her (20% chance), he will call her, and the probability of asking her in this case is 60%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:
[tex]P_1 = 20\% * 60\% = 12\%[/tex]
If he bumps into her (80% chance), the probability of asking her is 90%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:
[tex]P_2 = 80\% * 90\% = 72\%[/tex]
To find the probability of Thomas inviting Madeline to the party, we just have to sum the probabilities we found above:
[tex]P = P_1 + P_2[/tex]
[tex]P = 12\% + 72\% = 84\%[/tex]

A chemist wishes to test the effect of four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of cloth. Because there might be variability from one bolt to another, the chemist decides to use a randomized block design, with the bolts of cloth considered as blocks. She selects five bolts and applies all four chemicals in random order to each bolt. The resulting tensile strengths follow. Analyze the data from this experiment (use α = 0.05) and draw appropriate conclusions.
Bolt
Chemical 1 2 3 4 5
1 73 68 73 71 67
2 73 67 75 72 70
3 75 68 78 73 68
4 73 71 75 75 69
Answer:
p > α
0.7038 > 0.05
Also since F < F critical
0.475 < 3.238
We failed to reject H₀
We do not have significant evidence at the given significance level to show that there is a difference among the four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of cloth.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a chemist wishes to test the effect of four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of cloth.
Since we are given data for four independent chemical agents to determine the effect on the strength of a particular type of cloth, therefore, a one-way analysis of variance may be used for the given problem.
ANOVA:
The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) may be used to find out whether there is any significant difference between the means of two or more independent categories of data.
Set up hypotheses:
Null hypotheses = H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄
Alternate hypotheses = H₁: μ₁ ≠ μ₂ ≠ μ₃ ≠ μ₄
Set up decision rule:
We Reject H₀ if p ≤ α
OR
We Reject H₀ if F > F critical
ANOVA in Excel:
Step 1:
In the data tab, select data analysis
Step 2:
Select "Anova single factor" from the analysis tools
Step 3:
Select the destination of input data in the "input range"
Step 4:
Select "rows" for the option "Group By"
Step 5:
Tick the option "labels in first row"
Step 6:
Set alpha = 0.05
Step 7:
Select the destination of output data in the "output options"
Conclusion:
Please refer to the attached results.
The p-value is found to be
p = 0.7038
The F value is found to be
F = 0.475
The F critical value is found to be
F critical = 3.238
Since p > α
0.7038 > 0.05
We failed to reject H₀
Also since F < F critical
0.475 < 3.238
We failed to reject H₀
We do not have significant evidence at the given significance level to show that there is a difference among the four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of cloth.
