Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[ 5.456, 5.544]

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 5.5 ounces

Standard deviation r = 0.2 ounces

Number of samples n = 80

Confidence interval = 95%

z value (at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

5.5+/-1.96(0.2/√80)

5.5+/-1.96(0.022360679774)

5.5+/-0.043826932358

5.5+/-0.044

= ( 5.456, 5.544) ounces

Therefore the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = ( 5.456, 5.544) ounces

Given the parametric equations below, eliminate the parameter t to obtain an equation for y as a function of x { x ( t ) = 5 √ t y ( t ) = 7 t + 4

Answers

Answer:

y(x) = (7/25)x^2 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x = 5*sqrt(t) .............(1)

y = 7*t+4 ..................(2)

solution:

square (1) on both sides

x^2 = 25t

solve for t

t = x^2 / 25  .........(3)

y = 7*(x^2/25) +4

y= (7/25)x^2 + 4

replace each star with a digit to make the problem true.Is there only one answer to each problem? ****-***=2

Answers

Answer: We have two solutions:

1000 - 998 = 2

1001 - 999 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the problem:

****-*** = 2

where each star is a different digit, so in this case, we have a 4 digit number minus a 3 digit number, and the difference is 2.

we know that if we have a number like 99*, we can add a number between 1 and 9 and we will have a 4-digit as a result:

So we could write this as:

1000 - 998 = 2

now, if we add one to each number, the difference will be the same, and the number of digits in each number will remain equal:

1000 - 998 + 1 - 1 = 2

(1000 + 1) - (998 + 1) = 2

1001 - 999 = 2

now, there is a trivial case where we can find other solutions where the digits can be zero, like:

0004 - 0002 = 2

But this is trivial, so we can ignore this case.

Then we have two different solutions.

B  I and III

C II and III

D I, II, and III

None of the above gives the complete set of true responses.

Answer:

The correct option is  D

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally the mathematically equation for evaluating the standard deviation of the mean([tex]\= x[/tex]) of samples is  [tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]  hence the the first statement is correct

   Generally the second statement is true, that is the sampling distribution of the mean ([tex]\= x[/tex]) is  normal given that the population distribution is  normal

 Now  according to central limiting theorem given that the sample size is  large the distribution of the mean ([tex]\= x[/tex]) is approximately  normal notwithstanding the distribution of the population

Which of the following is the
graph of
(x - 3)2 + (y - 1)2 = 9 ?

Answers

Answer:

Answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation (x - 3)² + (y - 1)² = 9, is represented by the second graph as its center is at point (3, 1) and its radius is 3 units, both similar to the equation. Thus, option B is the right choice.

What does the equation of a circle represent?

The general equation of a circle is of the form (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where (h, k) is the point where the center of the given circle lies, and r is the radius of this given circle.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are asked to find the graph from the given options which represents the equation (x - 3)² + (y - 1)² = 9.

Comparing the given equation, (x - 3)² + (y - 1)² = 9, to the general equation, (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², we can say that h = 3, k = 1, and r = 3.

Thus the center of the given circle lies at the point (3, 1) and its radius is 3 units.

Now we check the options to find the matching circle:

Option A: The center is at the point (3, -1), which is different from (3, 1) of the equation (x - 3)² + (y - 1)² = 9. Thus, this is not the right choice.Option B: The center is at the point (3, 1), and the radius is 3 units, which is similar to the equation (x - 3)² + (y - 1)² = 9. Thus, this is the right choice.Option C: The center is at the point (-3, 1), which is different from (3, 1) of the equation (x - 3)² + (y - 1)² = 9. Thus, this is not the right choice.

Therefore, the equation (x - 3)² + (y - 1)² = 9, is represented by the second graph as its center is at point (3, 1) and its radius is 3 units, both similar to the equation. Thus, option B is the right choice.

vertex form of x^2+6x+3

Answers

Answer:

y = (x + 3)^2 - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex formula is Y = a(x - h)^2 + k.

To find the vertex formula, we need to find h and k, by finding the vertex of x^2 + 6x + 3.

h = -b/2a

a = 1, b = 6.

h = -6 / 2 * 1 = -6 / 2 = -3

k = (-3)^2 + 6(-3) + 3 = 9 - 18 + 3 = -9 + 3 = -6

So far, we have Y = a(x - (-3))^2 + -6, so y = a(x + 3)^2 - 6.

In this case, the coefficient of x^2 of the given formula is 1, which means that a will be 1.

The vertex form of x^2 + 6x + 3 is y = (x + 3)^2 - 6.

To check our work...

y = (x + 3)^2 - 6

= x^2 + 3x + 3x + 9 - 6

= x^2 + 6x + 3

Making handcrafted pottery generally takes two major steps: wheel throwing and firing. The time of wheel throwing and the time of firing are normally distributed random variables with means of 40 minutes and 60 minutes and standard deviations of 2 minutes and 3 minutes, respectively. Assume the time of wheel throwing and time of firing are independent random variables. (d) What is the probability that a piece of pottery will be finished within 95 minutes

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a piece of pottery will be finished within 95 minutes is 0.0823.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the time of wheel throwing and the time of firing are normally distributed variables with means of 40 minutes and 60 minutes and standard deviations of 2 minutes and 3 minutes, respectively.

Let X = time of wheel throwing

So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu_x=40 \text{ min}, \sigma^{2}_x = 2^{2} \text{ min}[/tex])

where, [tex]\mu_x[/tex] = mean time of wheel throwing

            [tex]\sigma_x[/tex] = standard deviation of wheel throwing

Similarly, let Y = time of firing

So, Y ~ Normal([tex]\mu_y=60 \text{ min}, \sigma^{2}_y = 3^{2} \text{ min}[/tex])

where, [tex]\mu_y[/tex] = mean time of firing

            [tex]\sigma_y[/tex] = standard deviation of firing

Now, let P = a random variable that involves both the steps of throwing and firing of wheel

SO, P = X + Y

Mean of P, E(P) = E(X) + E(Y)

                   [tex]\mu_p=\mu_x+\mu_y[/tex]

                        = 40 + 60 = 100 minutes

Variance of P, V(P) = V(X + Y)

                               = V(X) + V(Y) - Cov(X,Y)

                               = [tex]2^{2} +3^{2}-0[/tex]  

{Here Cov(X,Y) = 0 because the time of wheel throwing and time of firing are independent random variables}

SO, V(P) = 4 + 9 = 13

which means Standard deviation(P), [tex]\sigma_p[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex]

Hence, P ~ Normal([tex]\mu_p=100, \sigma_p^{2} = (\sqrt{13})^{2}[/tex])

The z-score probability distribution of the normal distribution is given by;

                           Z  =  [tex]\frac{P- \mu_p}{\sigma_p}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu_p[/tex] = mean time in making pottery = 100 minutes

           [tex]\sigma_p[/tex] = standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex] minutes

Now, the probability that a piece of pottery will be finished within 95 minutes is given by = P(P [tex]\leq[/tex] 95 min)

     P(P [tex]\leq[/tex] 95 min) = P( [tex]\frac{P- \mu_p}{\sigma_p}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{95-100}{\sqrt{13} }[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -1.39) = 1 - P(Z < 1.39)

                                                            = 1 - 0.9177 = 0.0823

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.39 in the z table which has an area of 0.9177.                                        

The life of light bulbs is distributed normally. The standard deviation of the lifetime is 25 hours and the mean lifetime of a bulb is 510 hours. Find the probability of a bulb lasting for at most 552 hours.

Answers

Answer:

The  probability of a bulb lasting for at most 552 hours.

P(x>552)  = 0.0515

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given mean of the life time of a bulb = 510 hours

Standard deviation of the lifetime of a bulb = 25 hours

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

Let 'x' = 552

[tex]Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D} = \frac{552-510}{25} =1.628[/tex]

Step(ii):-

The  probability of a bulb lasting for at most 552 hours.

P(x>552) = P(Z>1.63)

               = 1- P( Z< 1.63)

               =  1 - ( 0.5 + A(1.63)

              =   1- 0.5 - A(1.63)

              =   0.5 -A(1.63)

              =   0.5 -0.4485

             =  0.0515

Conclusion:-

The  probability of a bulb lasting for at most 552 hours.

P(x>552)  = 0.0515

the depth D, in inches, od wsnow in my yard t hours after it started snowing this morning is given by D=1.5t + 4. if the depth of the snow is 7 inches now, what will be the depth one hour from now?

Answers

Answer:

8.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the time t when the depth of the snow is 7 inches.

To do this, we just need to use the value of D = 7 then find the value of t:

[tex]7 = 1.5t + 4[/tex]

[tex]1.5t = 3[/tex]

[tex]t = 2\ hours[/tex]

We want to find the depth of snow one hour from now, so we just need to use the value of t = 3 to calculate D:

[tex]D = 1.5*3 + 4[/tex]

[tex]D = 4.5 + 4 = 8.5\ inches[/tex]

The depth of snow one hour from now will be 8.5 inches.

The depth of the snow one hour from now is 8.5 inches.

Let D represent the depth of snow in inches at time t. It is given by the relationship:

D=1.5t + 4

Since  the depth of the snow is 7 inches now, hence, the time now is:

7 = 1.5t + 4

1.5t = 3

t = 2 hours

One hour from now, the time would be t = 2 + 1 = 3 hours. Hence the depth at this time is:

D = 1.5(3) + 4 = 8.5 inches

Therefore the depth of the snow one hour from now is 8.5 inches.

Given that the sides of the quadrilateral are 3.3

The measure of one angle is 116°

We need to determine the value of x.

Value of x:

Since, the given quadrilateral is a rhombus because it has all four sides equal.

We know the property that the opposite sides of the rhombus are equal.

The measure of the opposite angle is 116°

x = measure of opposite angle

x = 116°

Then, the value of x is 116°

Therefore, the value of x is 116°

Answer:

In the diagram, the measurement of x is 87°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this diagram, this shape is a quadrilateral. This quadrilateral in this picture is known as rhombus. In a rhombus, the consecutive angles are supplementary meaning they have a sum of 180°. Consecutive means the angles are beside each other. So, we will subtract 93 from 180 to find the value of x.

180 - 93 = 87

The measurement of x is 87°

Step-by-step explanation:

The method that should be used is substitution:

Do this by taking 3x+9y=21 and transforming it to be [tex]y=-\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

Once you have this, substitute the value of y that we just found into 3x+9y=21 to find the value of x: [tex]3x+9(-\frac{1}{2} +\frac{7}{3} ) =21[/tex]

Solve for x. You should get 1.5

Once you have this, Plug in 1.5 for the value of x into the y= equation that we found in the beginning: [tex]y=-\frac{1}{2} (1.5)+\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

Solve for y. You should get 1.583 (19/12)

Plug in the values of x and y that we found into the last equation to find its value: 4(1.5+3(1.583))

20*x + 10*y + 5*z = 220         (1)

We also know the total number of bills (15), then

x + y + z = 15     (2)

And that quantity of 20 $ bill is equal to

x = 3 + y     (3)

Now we got a three equation system we have to solve for x, y, and z for which we can use any valid procedure.

As    x = 3 + y    by substitution in equation (2)   and (1)

( 3 + y ) + y + z  = 15       ⇒   3 + 2*y + z = 15  ⇒  2*y + z = 12

20* ( 3 + y ) + 10*y + 5*z  = 220  ⇒ 60 + 20*y + 10*y + 5*z = 220

30*y + 5*z  = 160      (a)

Now we have only 2 equations

2*y + z = 12   ⇒    z = 12 - 2*y

30*y + 5*z  = 160     30*y  + 5* ( 12 - 2*y) = 160

30*y  + 60 - 10*y = 160

20*y = 100

y = 100/20       y = 5      Then by substitution in (a)

30*y + 5*z = 160

30*5  + 5*z = 160

150 + 5*z  = 160    ⇒     5*z = 10     z = 10/5      z = 2

And x

x + y + z = 15

x + 5 + 2 = 15

x = 8

The time X(mins) for Ayesha to prepare breakfast for her family is believed to have a uniform
distribution with A=25 and B=35.
a) Determine the pdf of X and draw its density curve.
b) What is the probability that time taken by Ayesha to prepare breakfast exceeds 33 mins?
c) What is the probability that cooking or preparation time is within 2 mins of the mean time?
(Hint: Identify mean from the graph of f(x))

Answers

Answer:

(c) [tex]f_{X}(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{35-25}=\frac{1}{10};\ 25<X<35} \atop {0;\ Otherwise}} \right.[/tex]

(b) The probability that time taken by Ayesha to prepare breakfast exceeds 33 minutes is 0.20.

(c) The probability that cooking or preparation time is within 2 mins of the mean time is 0.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X follows a Uniform (25, 35).

(a)

The probability density function of an Uniform distribution is:

[tex]f_{X}(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{B-A};\ A<X<B} \atop {0;\ Otherwise}} \right.[/tex]

Then the probability density function of the random variable X is:

[tex]f_{X}(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{35-25}=\frac{1}{10};\ 25<X<35} \atop {0;\ Otherwise}} \right.[/tex]

(b)

Compute the value of P (X > 33) as follows:

[tex]P(X>33)=\int\limits^{35}_{33} {\frac{1}{10}} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{10}\cdot\int\limits^{35}_{33} {1} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{10}\times [x]^{35}_{33}\\\\=\frac{35-33}{10}\\\\=\frac{2}{10}\\\\=0.20[/tex]

Thus, the probability that time taken by Ayesha to prepare breakfast exceeds 33 minutes is 0.20.

(c)

Compute the mean of X as follows:

[tex]\mu=\frac{A+B}{2}=\frac{25+35}{2}=30[/tex]

Compute the probability that cooking or preparation time is within 2 mins of the mean time as follows:

[tex]P(30-2<X<30+2)=P(28<X<32)[/tex]

                                      [tex]=\int\limits^{32}_{28} {\frac{1}{10}} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{10}\cdot\int\limits^{32}_{28}{1} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{10}\times [x]^{32}_{28}\\\\=\frac{32-28}{10}\\\\=\frac{4}{10}\\\\=0.40[/tex]

Thus, the probability that cooking or preparation time is within 2 mins of the mean time is 0.40.

While childrenespecially us teenagers!believe our social media posts should remain private, our parents tend to disagree. Parents oftentimes argue that they need access to their children's social media accounts so they can remove content they feel should be kept private. However, there is no research to support the idea that teens share too much personal information online. The real issue is that teens and parents view privacy differently. When teenagers seek privacy, it is generally because they want to be able to exercise control over who sees the content they post. When parents insist on monitoring their children's social media accounts, teens lose that sense of control, which can lead to a feeling of mistrust between parents and their children. Another argument, which is one often cited by parents, is the concern that children spend too much time on social media, talking long into the night with friends and losing sleep. While this may be true, it is important to note that the issue of how much time teens spend on social media offers an opportunity to build trust and set reasonable boundaries with their children. Parents can start by talking with their children and asking questions such as: How much time do you think is reasonable to spend on social media each day? What time should social media access end each day? And so forth. Through conversations like these parents and children can begin to find some middle ground. Once parents and children have worked together to establish rules that everyone can live with, trust between them can be establishedif children adhere to the rules, they can likely be trusted to monitor own social media; if not, then work together to establish new guidelines that will work for everyone. No one wants to feel like they are being monitored all the time, especially teens. So, it is important that adults understand and work with their children to find common ground on the issue of social media.Select the correct answerRead the sentence from the draft.Another argument, which is one often cited by parents, is the concern that children spend too much time on social media, talking long into the night with friends and losing sleep.What is the best way to revise the sentence to reduce wordiness?A.
