A college Statistics class conducted a survey concerning community attitudes about the college's large homecoming celebration. That survey drew its sample in the following manner: Telephone numbers were generated at random by selecting one of the local telephone exchanges (first three digits) at random and then generating a random four-digit number to follow the exchange. If a person answered the phone and the call was to a residence, then that person was taken to be the subject for interview. (Undergraduate students and those under voting age were excluded, as was anyone who could not speak English.) Calls were placed until a sample of 200 eligible respondents had been reached.

Required:
a. Did every telephone number that could occur in that community have an equal chance of being generated?
b. Did this method of generating telephone numbers result in a simple random sample (SRS) of local residences? Explain.
c. Did this method generate an SRS of local voters? Explain.
d. Is this method unbiased in generating samples of households? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Yes

B) No

C) No

D) No

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Yes, every telephone number that could occur in that community will have an equal chance of being generated because the telephone numbers were generated randomly.

B) No, this method of generating telephone numbers would not result in a simple random sample (SRS) of local residences because the first three digits were generated in a different random way than the last four digits.

C) No, this method would not generate an SRS of local voters because not everybody will be pick up when they call because they may not be at home or they may be too busy to pick up.

D) No, this method is not unbiased in generating samples of households because there will be nonresponse bias since not everyone will pick up the call

Maggie bought a pound of bananas and 4 boxes of cereal for $10.11. If each box of cereal cost $2.40, what was the price of a pound of bananas?
$0.51
$0.61
$1.51
$2.91

Answers

Answer:

$0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

If each box of cereal is $2.40, $2.40 multiplied by 4 is $9.60. $10.11 is the total, so $10.11 - $9.60 = $0.51.

[tex] x = 17 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] 2x + 7 = 3x - 10 [/tex] (alternate exterior angles are congruent when a transversal cuts across two straight lines)

[tex] 2x - 3x = -7 - 10 [/tex] (collecting like terms)

[tex] - x = -17 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{-x}{-1} = \frac{-17}{-1} [/tex] (dividing both sides by -1)

D. A variable most often found on the y-axis

Answers

B. 45 feet/second

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? the line perpendicular to y = x + 2 through (-7, -8)​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-x-15[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope formula: [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where [tex](x_1, \ y_1)[/tex] are the coordinates of a point on the line, and [tex]m[/tex] is the slope of the line.

You are given a point that the line you are trying to find passes through, and a slope. The slope is less obvious than the point, but you can find the slope using the given information.

The line perpendicular to y = x + 2 will have the opposite reciprocal slope of this line. The slope of y = x + 2 is 1, so the opposite reciprocal of 1 is:

[tex]m=-\frac{1}{1} =-1[/tex]

Now that you have both a point and the slope of the line you are trying to find, you can substitute these values into the point-slope formula (Notice: the name of this formula contains both "point" and "slope").

Substitute [tex](-7, \ -8)[/tex] for [tex](x_1,\ y_1)[/tex] and [tex]m=-1[/tex] into the point-slope formula.

[tex]y-(-8)=-1(x-(-7))[/tex]

Simplify this equation.

[tex]y+8=-1(x+7)[/tex]

Distribute -1 inside the parentheses.

[tex]y+8=-x-7[/tex]

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

[tex]y=-x-15[/tex]

This line is in slope-intercept form ([tex]y=mx+b[/tex]), so we are done.

g The average lifespan for a certain type of vehicle is 8 years and follows an exponential distribution. A lot contains 200 of these vehicles, brand new. What is the probability that 50 or more of them fail in the first 2 years

Answers

Answer:

The probability is [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 0.14321[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The average life span is  [tex]\pi = 8[/tex]

The sample size is n =  200

Generally we are told that average lifespan for a certain type of vehicle follows an exponential distribution

i.e  

             [tex]X \~ \ \ \ exp(8)[/tex]

Gnerally the probability distribution function for exponential distribution is

       [tex]f(x) = \left \{ {{\lambda * e^{-\lambda * x }\ \ \ x\ge 0 } \atop {0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x < 0}} \right.[/tex]

Now [tex]\lambda[/tex] is the  constant which is evaluated as

      [tex]\lambda = \frac{1}{\pi}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\lambda = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\lambda = 0.125[/tex]

Generally the that the vehicles will fail in less than 2 years is  mathematically represented as

         [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= \int\limits^2_0 {\lambda e^{- \lambda * x} } \, dx[/tex]

        [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= [ {0.125 * - \frac{1}{0.125 } e^{- 0.125 * x} } ]|\left 2 } \atop {0}} \right.[/tex]

       [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= [ {0.125 * - \frac{1}{0.125 } e^{- 0.125 * 2} } ] - [ {0.125 * - \frac{1}{0.125 } e^{- 0.125 * 0} } ][/tex]

     [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= -0.77880 + 1[/tex]

     [tex]P(X \le 2 )= p= 0.2212[/tex]

Generally the probability that the vehicle will fail in the first 2 years follows a binomial  distribution  with the mean evaluated as

         [tex]\mu = n * p[/tex]

=>      [tex]\mu = 200 * 0.2212[/tex]

=>      [tex]\mu = 44.24[/tex]

The standard deviation is

       [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{np(1 - p)}[/tex]    

      [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{200 * 0.2212 (1 - 0.2212)}[/tex]  

      [tex]\sigma = 5.86[/tex]

Using normal approximation of binomial  distribution the  probability that 50 or more of them fail in the first 2 years is mathematically represented as

   [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 1 - P(A < 50 )[/tex]

Applying continuity correction

    [tex]P(A \ge 50.5 ) = 1 - P(A < 50.5 )[/tex]

Here

    [tex]P(A < 50.5 ) = P(\frac{A - \mu }{\sigma} < \frac{50 - 44.24}{5.87} )[/tex]

Generally  

       [tex]\frac{A - \mu }{\sigma} = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of A )[/tex]

=> [tex]P(A < 50.5 ) = P( Z < 1.0664 )[/tex]

From the z-table the probability value  of  ( Z  <  1.0664   ) is  

     [tex]P( Z < 1.0664 ) = 0.85679[/tex]

So  

   [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 1 - 0.85679[/tex]

=> [tex]P(A \ge 50 ) = 0.14321[/tex]

Can anyone help me solve for x and y

Answers

x = 24, y = 120

if you disagree tell me, I just substituted values.

Step-by-step explanation:

10. (6x - 7)° + (3x - 29)° = 180°

i.e they are co-interior angles:

6x + 3x - 7 - 29 = 180°

9x - 36° = 180°

9x = 216°

x = 24.

(6x - 7)° = (8y + 17)°

i.e they are vertically opposite angles;

but x = 24.

6(24) - 7 = 8y + 17

144 - 7 = 8y + 17

120 = 8y

y = 15

11. (9x + 25)° = (13x - 19)°

i.e they are corresponding angles;

25 + 19 = 13x - 9x

44 = 4x

x = 11

(13x - 19)° + (17y + 5)° = 180°

i.e they are adjacent angles;

but x = 11

13(11) - 19 +5 + 17y = 180

17y = 180 - 129

17y = 51

y = 3

USING CALCULATOR :

The mean(m) of the data: = ΣX/n

n = sample size = 40

m = 12974/40

m = 324.4

Median = ((n + 1)/2) th term = 41/2 = (20 + 21)th term / 2

= (261 + 264) / 2 = 262.5

Standard deviation (s) = sqrt(Σ(x - m)²/n))

s = 281. 74

B.) Coefficient of skewness (Ks) :

3(mean - median) / standard deviation
