An economist, an expert in the study of sales and production of goods and services, is interested in studying the average amount of money people spend, each month, on entertainment. For example, he wants to know how much people spend, each month, going to the movies, attending a concert, etc. His assistant conducted a poll of 500 randomly selected people across the country. He found a 95% confidence interval: $72 to $198. From this confidence interval the assistant concluded that people spend an average of $200 a month on entertainment. Is this a reasonable conclusion and why

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$200 is not part of the confidence interval, which means that this is not a reasonable conclusion, at the 100 - 95 = 5% level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

95% confidence interval: $72 to $198.

This means that we are 95% sure that the true mean spending is between $72 and $198.

From this confidence interval the assistant concluded that people spend an average of $200 a month on entertainment. Is this a reasonable conclusion and why?

$200 is not part of the confidence interval, which means that this is not a reasonable conclusion, at the 100 - 95 = 5% level of significance.

Round to the nearest percent.

Answers

Answer:   3%

Most likely, you won't need to type in the percent symbol since that seems to be already done for you.

=========================================================

Explanation:

The outcome "2" shows up 3 times, as shown in the first column. Let A = 3.

Add up all the values in the bottom row: 3+6+8+11+14+16+15+12+9+5+1 = 100. Let B = 100. This is the total number of dice rolls.

Dividing the two values gets us A/B = 3/100 = 0.03 = 3%

The value "2" shows up 3% of the time, which is the experimental probability of getting a "2".

Answers

Answer: 107/100x

1.07x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the price of the model is x dollars, and she also has to pay a 7% tax, the amount that Leila will pay in total for the model will be the addition of the price of the model and the tax. This will be:

= x + (7% × x)

= x + (7/100 × x)

= x + (0.07 × x)

= x + 0.07x

= 1.07x

This can also be 107/100x

m 6 = [ ?] ​

Answers

Answer:   55

==============================================

The 125 degree angle and angle 6 are supplementary. This is because of the same side interior angles theorem.

Let x be the measure of angle 6. Add this to 125, set the sum equal to 180, and solve for x.

x+125 = 180

x = 180-125

x = 55

------------

Or you could approach it this way:

y = measure of angle 2

y+125 = 180

y = 55

angle 6 = angle 2 (corresponding angles)

angle 6 = 55 degrees

-------------

Yet another way you could solve:

z = measure of angle 3

z+125 = 180

z = 55

angle 6 = angle 3 (alternate interior angles)

angle 6 = 55 degrees

A similar approach using alternate interior angles would involve angle 5 = 125, and then noticing that x+125 = 180 solves to x = 55

2. Angle GED equal 90

Angle DFC equal 90

3. Angle GED is congruent to Angle DFC

4. Angle GBE is congruent to Angle FDC

5. Triangle BEG is similar to DFC

Reasons:

1.Given

2. Definition of perpendicular lines

3. Transitive property

4. Alternate Interior Angles

5. AA Similarity

By satisfying essential conditions for two triangles to be similar, we can say that triangle BEG is similar to triangle DFC.

What is a parallelogram?

A quadrilateral in which opposites sides are equal and parallel. Also, opposite angles are equal to each other.

A band of 17 pirates stole a sack of gold coins. When they tried to divide the fortune into equal portions, 3 coins remained. In the ensuing brawl over who should get the extra coins, one pirate was killed. The wealth was redistributed, but this time an equal division left 10 coins. Again an argument developed in which another pirate was killed. But now the total fortune was evenly distributed among the survivors. What was the least number of coins that could have been stolen

Answers

Answer:

The least number of coins that could have been stolen is 3,930.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the beginning, there are N coins to be distributed among 17 pirates, and we know that if we divide evenly these coins, there are 3 coins remaining.

Then we can write the total number of coins as a multiple of 17 plus 3.

N = 17*k + 3

where k is an integer.

After that, a pirate is killed, so now we have 16 pirates, and now there are 10 coins left, so now we can write N as a multiple of 16 plus 10:

N = 16*j + 10

where j is an integer.

Finally, having 15 pirates, the total number of coins can be divided evenly, then N is a multiple of 15

N = 15*m

where m is an integer.

So we have these 3 equations:

N = 17*k + 3

N = 16*j + 10

N = 15*m

So we can express equations like:

15*m = 16*j + 10

15*m = 17*k + 3

Where we need to find solutions such that both of these variables are integers.

For the first one we can write:

15*m - 16*j = 10

One way to do it, is to write this like a linear equation:

m = (16*j + 10)/15

Graph this, and find the pairs of points in the line that have bot integer values, or we can just find some values of j such that:

16*j + 10 is a multiple of 15.

For example, with j = 5 we have:

m = (16*5 + 10)/15 = 6

so j = 5 and m = 6 is a possible solution.

Now if we use m = 6 in the other equation:

15*m = 17*k + 3

we can see if k is also an integer:

k = (15*m - 3)/17

replacing m by 6:

k = (15*6 - 3)/17 = 5.1

This solution does not work.

Let's find others:

if j = 20  (at this point we already know that the possible values of j "jump" by 15 units, like 5 + 15 = 20) then:

m = (16*20 + 10)/15 = 22

Then:

j = 20 and  m = 22 is another solution.

Same as before, let's use m = 22 in the equation for k:

k = (15*22 - 3)/17 = 19.2

Let's find another solution for m.

if  j = 35

m = (16*35 + 10)/15 = 38

Using this value of m in the k equation we get:

k = (15*35 - 3)/17 = 33.4

Let's find another solution for m.

if we take j = 50 we get:

m = (15*50 + 10)/15 = 54

Using this in the k equation we get:

k = (15*54 - 3)/17 = 47.5

Eventually, for j = 5  + 15*16 = 245 we get:  (arrived by iteration, just try each time using the previous value of j plus 15)

m = (16*245 + 10)/15 = 262

replacing this in the k equation we can find:

k = (15*262 - 3)/17 = 231.

So the first solution is:

j = 245, m = 262, k = 231

Then:

N = 262*15 = 3,930

The least number of coins that could have been stolen is 3,930.

.Here is a 90% confidence interval estimate of theproportion of adults who say that thelaw goes easy on celebrities: 0.645

Answers

Answer:

The best estimate of the proportion of adults who say that the law goes easy on celebrities is 0.7435.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval concepts:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds.

In this question:

CI is between 0.645 and 0.842. So the best estimate of the proportion is:

(0.645+0.842)/2 = 0.7435

The best estimate of the proportion of adults who say that the law goes easy on celebrities is 0.7435.

The distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. What is 50% of that distance?

Answers

Answer: 128.5km

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that the distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. To get 50% of the distance, we simply have to multiply the distance given by 50%. This will be:

= 50% × 257km

= 50/100 × 257km

= 0.5 × 257km

= 128.5km

Therefore, 50% of the distance is 128.5km.
