Answer:
[tex]t=\frac{58.875-60}{\frac{5.083}{\sqrt{8}}}=-0.626[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=8-1=7[/tex]
The p value would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(7)}<-0.626)=0.275[/tex]
Since the p value is higher than 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIl to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean is less than 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
60, 56, 60, 55, 70, 55, 60, and 55.
We can calculate the mean and deviation with these formulas:
[tex]\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}[/tex]
[tex]s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}[/tex]
Replacing we got:
[tex]\bar X=58.875[/tex] represent the mean
[tex]s=5.083[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for the sample
[tex]n=8[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =60[/tex] represent the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha=0.1[/tex] represent the significance level
t would represent the statistic
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
Hypothesis to test
We want to test if the true mean is less than 60, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 60[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu < 60[/tex]
The statistic would be given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info we got:
[tex]t=\frac{58.875-60}{\frac{5.083}{\sqrt{8}}}=-0.626[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=8-1=7[/tex]
The p value would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(7)}<-0.626)=0.275[/tex]
Since the p value is higher than 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIl to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean is less than 60
Decide whether the sets are equivalent {d: d is a month of the year} and {g : g is a state in the United States}
Answer:
Non equivalentStep-by-step explanation:
The equivalent between sets is determined by the number of elements. If two sets have the same number of elements, then they are equivalent sets.
In this case, a year has 12 months, and the US has 50 states. So, one month is not equal to 1 state because they have different natures and they represent a different proportion. A month represents 1/12 of a year and a state represents 1/50 of the total number of states.
Factor completely 2x3y + 18xy - 10x2y - 90y. I need this done today in a few minutes.
Answer:
2y (x^2+9) ( x-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^3y + 18xy - 10x^2y - 90y
Factor out the common factor of 2y
2y(x^3+9x-5x^2-45)
Then factor by grouping
2y(x^3+9x -5x^2-45)
Taking x from the first group and -5 from the second
2y( x (x^2+9) -5(x^2+9))
Now factor out (x^2+9)
2y (x^2+9) ( x-5)
can someone help me solve this problem
Answer:
18 and 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the age of Claire and y the age of her mother
Claire's mother is 4 years more than twice Claire's age
y = 2x+4The sum of their ages are is 58
x+y = 58the system is:
[tex]\left \{ {{y=2x-4} \atop {y+x=58}} \right.[/tex]
Multiply (y+x = 58) by -1 and then add it to (y = 2x+4) to eliminate y
-y-x = -58 -y-x+y = 2x+4-58 -x -2x = -54-3x = -54x = 54/3x = 18y= 58-18 = 40
so claire's mother is 40 years old and claire is 18

The area of a rectangular horse pasture is 268,500 square yards. The length of the pasture is 5 yards less than three times the width. What is the width of the pasture in yards? Do not include units in your answer. Please help right away! Thank you very much!
Answer: width = 300
Step-by-step explanation:
Area (A) = Length (L) x width (w)
Given: A = 268,500
L = 3w - 5
w = w
268,500 = (3w - 5) x (w)
268,500 = 3w² - 5w
0 = 3w² - 5w - 268,500
0 = (3w + 895) (w - 300)
0 = 3w + 895 0 = w - 300
-985/3 = w 300 = w
Since width cannot be negative, disregard w = -985/3
So the only valid answer is: w = 300
You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard deviation is approximately σ = 58.2 σ=58.2. You would like to be 99% confident that your estimate is within 1 of the true population mean. How large of a sample size is required? Do not round mid-calculation.
Answer:
[tex]n=(\frac{2.58(58.2)}{1})^2 =22546.82 \approx 22547[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=22547 rounded up to the nearest integer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define some notation
[tex]\bar X[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
[tex]\sigma=58.2[/tex] represent the population standard deviation
n represent the sample size
[tex] ME =1[/tex] represent the margin of error desire
The margin of error is given by this formula:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (a)
And on this case we have that ME =+1 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2[/tex] (b)
The critical value for 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance would be [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] and the critical value [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=2.58[/tex], replacing into formula (b) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{2.58(58.2)}{1})^2 =22546.82 \approx 22547[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=22547 rounded up to the nearest integer

What is the equation of a circle with center (−8, 3) and radius 8?
Answer:
(x + 8)² + (y - 3)² = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle in standard form is
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius
Here (h, k) = (- 8, 3) and r = 8 , thus
(x - (- 8))² + (y - 3)² = 8² , that is
(x + 8)² + (y - 3)² = 64
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for a circle is:
[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex], where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.
Plug in what we know. (-8,3) for (h,k) respectively and 8 for the radius:
[tex](x-(-8))^2+(y-(3))^2=(8)^2[/tex]
[tex](x+8)^2+(y-3)^2=64[/tex]

Irvin buys a car for $21 comma 804. It depreciates 25% each year that he owns it. What is the depreciated value of the car after 1 yr? after 2 yr? The depreciated value of the car after 1 yr is $? The depreciated value of the car after 2 yr is $?
Answer:
The depreciated value of the car after 1 yr is $16,353
The depreciated value of the car after 2 yr is $12,264.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
purchase amount P= $21,804
rate of depreciation R= 25%
applying the formula for the car deprecation we have
[tex]A= P*(1-\frac{R}{100} )^n[/tex]
Where,
A is the value of the car after n years,
P is the purchase amount,
R is the percentage rate of depreciation per annum,
n is the number of years after the purchase.
1. The depreciated value of the car after 1 yr is
n=1
[tex]A= 21,804*(1-\frac{25}{100} )^1\\\\A= 21,804*(1-0.25 )^1\\\\A= 21,804*0.75\\\\A= 16353[/tex]
The depreciated value of the car after 1 yr is $16,353
2. The depreciated value of the car after 2 yr is
n=2
[tex]A= 21,804*(1-\frac{25}{100} )^2\\\\A= 21,804*(1-0.25 )^2\\\\A= 21,804*0.75^2\\\\A= 21,804*0.5625\\\\A= 12264.75[/tex]
The depreciated value of the car after 2 yr is $12,264.75
The amount of time it takes a bat to eat a frog was recorded for each bat in a random sample of 12 bats. The resulting sample mean and standard deviation were 21.9 minutes and 7.7 minutes, respectively. Assuming it is reasonable to believe that the population distribution of bat mealtimes of frogs is approximately normal, a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean time for a bat to eat a frog. b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the variance of the time for a bat to eat a frog.
Answer: a. CI for the mean: 17.327 < μ < 26.473
b. CI for variance: 29.7532 ≤ [tex]\sigma^{2}[/tex] ≤ 170.9093
Step-by-step explanation:
a. To construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean:
The given data are:
mean = 21.9
s = 7.7
n = 12
df = 12 - 1 = 11
1 - α = 0.05
[tex]\frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex] = 0.025
t-score = [tex]t_{0.025,11}[/tex] = 2.2001
Note: since the sample population is less than 30, it is used a t-score.
The formula for interval:
mean ± [tex]t.\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
Substituing values:
21.9 ± 2.200.[tex]\frac{7.7}{\sqrt{12} }[/tex]
21.9 ± 4.573
The interval is: 17.327 < μ < 26.473
b. A 95% confidence interval for the variance:
The given values are:
[tex]s^{2}[/tex] = [tex]7.7^{2}[/tex]
[tex]s^{2}[/tex] = 59.29
α = 0.05
[tex]\frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex] = 0.025
[tex]1-\frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex] = 0.975
[tex]\chi^{2}_{0.025,11}[/tex] = 21.92
[tex]\chi^{2}_{0.975,11}[/tex] = 3.816
Note: To find the values for [tex]\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2,n-1}[/tex] and [tex]\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2,n-1}[/tex], look for them at the chi-square table
The formula to calculate interval:
([tex]\frac{(n-1).s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2,n-1}} , \frac{(n-1)s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2,n-1}}[/tex])
are the lower and upper limits, respectively.
Substituing values:
([tex]\frac{11.59.29}{21.92} , \frac{11.59.29}{3.816}[/tex])
(29.7532, 170.9093)
The interval for variance is: 29.7532 ≤ [tex]\sigma^{2}[/tex] ≤ 170.9093

Suppose the sequence StartSet a Subscript n Baseline EndSet is defined by the recurrence relation a Subscript n plus 1equalsnegative 2na Subscript n, for nequals1, 2, 3,..., where a1equals5. Write out the first five terms of the sequence.
Answer:
-10, 40, -240, 1,920 and -19, 200
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the recurrence relation of the sequence defined as aₙ₊₁ = -2naₙ for n = 1, 2, 3... where a₁ = 5, to get the first five terms of the sequence, we will find the values for when n = 1 to n =5.
when n= 1;
aₙ₊₁ = -2naₙ
a₁₊₁ = -2(1)a₁
a₂ = -2(1)(5)
a₂ = -10
when n = 2;
a₂₊₁ = -2(2)a₂
a₃ = -2(2)(-10)
a₃ = 40
when n = 3;
a₃₊₁ = -2(3)a₃
a₄ = -2(3)(40)
a₄ = -240
when n= 4;
a₄₊₁ = -2(4)a₄
a₅ = -2(4)(-240)
a₅ = 1,920
when n = 5;
a₅₊₁ = -2(5)a₅
a₆ = -2(5)(1920)
a₆ = -19,200
Hence, the first five terms of the sequence is -10, 40, -240, 1,920 and -19, 200

The required 90% confidence interval for adult males is
[tex]\text {CI} = (64.2, \: 70.6)\\\\[/tex]
The required 90% confidence interval for adult females is
[tex]\text {CI} = (72, \: 79.2)\\\\[/tex]
The confidence interval of male and female pulse rates do not overlap since the mean pulse rate of female is way greater than the mean pulse rate of males.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the pulse rates of adult females and adult males and we have to construct the 90% confidence interval of the mean pulse rate for males and females.
Let us first compute the mean and standard deviation of the given pulse rates data.
Using Excel,
=AVERAGE(number1, number2,....)
The mean pulse rate of adult males is found to be
[tex]\bar{x}_{male} = 67.4[/tex]
The mean pulse rate of adult females is found to be
[tex]\bar{x}_{female} = 75.6[/tex]
Using Excel,
=STDEV(number1, number2,....)
The standard deviation for adult male pulse rate is found to be
[tex]s_{male} = 11.9[/tex]
The standard deviation for adult female pulse rate is found to be
[tex]s_{female} = 13.5[/tex]
The confidence interval is given by
[tex]$ \text {CI} = \bar{x} \pm t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) $\\\\[/tex]
Where [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] is the sample mean, n is the sample size, s is the sample standard deviation and [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] is the t-score corresponding to a 90% confidence level.
The t-score corresponding to a 90% confidence level is
Significance level = α = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10/2 = 0.05
Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 40 - 1 = 39
From the t-table at α = 0.05 and DoF = 39
t-score = 1.685
The required 90% confidence interval for adult males is
[tex]\text {CI} = 67.4 \pm 1.685\cdot \frac{11.9}{\sqrt{40} } \\\\\text {CI} = 67.4 \pm 1.685\cdot 1.882\\\\\text {CI} = 67.4 \pm 3.17\\\\\text {CI} = 67.4 - 3.17, \: 67.4 + 3.17\\\\\text {CI} = (64.2, \: 70.6)\\\\[/tex]
Therefore, we are 90% confident that the actual mean pulse rate of adult male is within the range of 64.2 to 70.6 bpm
The required 90% confidence interval for adult females is
[tex]\text {CI} = 75.6 \pm 1.685\cdot \frac{13.5}{\sqrt{40} } \\\\\text {CI} = 75.6 \pm 1.685\cdot 2.1345\\\\\text {CI} = 75.6 \pm 3.60\\\\\text {CI} = 75.6 - 3.60, \: 75.6 + 3.60\\\\\text {CI} = (72, \: 79.2)\\\\[/tex]
Therefore, we are 90% confident that the actual mean pulse rate of adult female is within the range of 72 to 79.2 bpm
Comparison:
The confidence interval of male and female pulse rates do not overlap since the mean pulse rate of female is way greater than the mean pulse rate of males.

A fair die is rolled repeatedly. Calculate to at least two decimal places:__________
a) the chance that the first 6 appears before the tenth roll
b) the chance that the third 6 appears on the tenth roll
c) the chance of seeing three 6's among the first ten rolls given that there were six 6's among the first twenty roles.
d) the expected number of rolls until six 6's appear
e) the expected number of rolls until all six faces appear
Answer:
a. 0.34885
b. 0.04651
c. 0.02404
d. 36
e. 14.7, say 15 trials
Step-by-step explanation:
Q17070205
Note:
1. In order to be applicable to established probability distributions, each roll is considered a Bernouilli trial, i.e. has only two outcomes, success or failure, and are all independent of each other.
2. use R to find the probability values from the respective distributions.
a) the chance that the first 6 appears before the tenth roll
This means that a six appears exactly once between the first and the nineth roll.
Using binomial distribution, p=1/6, n=9, x=1
dbinom(1,9,1/6) = 0.34885
b) the chance that the third 6 appears on the tenth roll
This means exactly two six's appear between the first and 9th rolls, and the tenth roll is a six.
Again, we have a binomial distribution of p=1/6, n=9, x=2
p1 = dbinom(2,9,1/6) = 0.27908
The probability of the tenth roll being a 6 is, evidently, p2 = 1/6.
Thus the probability of both happening, by the multiplication rule, assuming independence
P(third on the tenth roll) = p1*p2 = 0.04651
c) the chance of seeing three 6's among the first ten rolls given that there were six 6's among the first twenty roles.
Again, using binomial distribution, probability of 3-6's in the first 10 rolls,
p1 = dbinom(3,10,1/6) = 0.15504
Probability of 3-6's in the NEXT 10 rolls
p1 = dbinom(3,10,1/6) = 0.15504
Probability of both happening (multiplication rule, assuming both events are independent)
= p1 * p1 = 0.02404
d) the expected number of rolls until six 6's appear
Using the negative binomial distribution, the expected number of failures before n=6 successes, with probability p = 1/6
= n(1-p)/p
Total number of rolls by adding n
= n(1-p)/p + n = n(1-p+p)/p = n/p = 6/(1/6) = 36
e) the expected number of rolls until all six faces appear
P1 = 6/6 because the firs trial (roll) can be any face with probability 1
P2 = 6/5 because the second trial for a different face has probability 5/6, so requires 6/5 trials
P3 = 6/4 ...
P4 = 6/3
P5 = 6/2
P6 = 6/1
So the total mean (expected) number of trials is 6/6+6/5+6/4+6/3+6/2+6/1 = 14.7, say 15 trials

f(x)=1/3x g(x)= 1/3x f(g(x))= Are they inverses? Please explain.
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
f(g(x))= x if they are inverses
(x)=1/3x
g(x)= 1/3x
f(g(x)) = 1/3 (g(x) = 1/3 (1/3x) = 1/9x
This is not x so they are not inverse functions

0.3 meter or 3/10 meter
Step-by-step explanation:
As there are 100cm in 1 meter and you want to find 30cm in terms of meters.
It will be as
100cm = 1 meter (rule/lax)
100/100 cm = 1/100 meter (divide both sides of equation with 100)
1 cm = 1/100 meter
1 *30 cm = (1/100)*30 meter (multiply both sides with 30)
30 cm = 30/100 meter
30/100 more shortly can be written as 3/10 meter or in decimals 0.3 meter.
Reese needs to understand the integer laws to complete his homework. As he recites his rules, he is overheard saying "a positive plus a positive is positive, a negative plus a negative is negative, and a positive plus a negative is a negative". Is he right? Explain why or why not?
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's check the first statement with an example. 2 and 3 are positive numbers and their sum (5) is also positive so his first statement is true.
To check the second statement let's look at the negative numbers -1 and -8 for example. Their sum (-9) is also negative so his second statement is true.
To check the third statement let's look at the numbers 9 and -5. One is positive and one is negative, but their sum (4) is positive, so his third statement is false. However if we look at the numbers 4 and -7, their sum is negative so the third statement is partially false.
find the value of k if x minus 2 is a factor of P of X that is X square + X + k
Answer:
k = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
hello
saying that (x-2) is a factor of [tex]x^2+x+k[/tex]
means that 2 is a zero of
[tex]x^2+x+k=0 \ so\\2^2+2+k=0\\<=> 4+2+k=0\\<=> 6+k =0\\<=> k = -6[/tex]
and we can verify as
[tex](x^2+x-6)=(x-2)(x+3)[/tex]
so it is all good
hope this helps
y-9=-2(x-8) what is the slope?
Answer:
-2Step-by-step explanation:
Write in slope intercept form.
y - 9 = -2(x - 8)
y - 9 = -2x + 16
y = -2x + 16 + 9
y = -2x + 25
y = mx + b
The m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.
y = -2 x + 25
The slope is -2.
The Aluminum Association reports that the average American uses 56.8 pounds of aluminum in a year. A random sample of 51 households is monitored for one year to determine aluminum usage. If the population standard deviation of annual usage is 12.2 pounds, what is the probability that the sample mean will be each of the following? Appendix A Statistical Tables a. More than 61 pounds
Answer:
0.007
Step-by-step explanation:
We were told in the above question that a random sample of 51 households is monitored for one year to determine aluminum usage
Step 1
We would have to find the sample standard deviation.
We use the formula = σ/√n
σ = 12.2 pounds
n = number of house holds = 51
= 12.2/√51
Sample Standard deviation = 1.7083417025.
Step 2
We find the z score for when the sample mean is more than 61
z-score formula is z = (x-μ)/σ
where:
x = raw score = 61 pounds
μ = the population mean = 56.8 pounds
σ = the sample standard deviation = 1.7083417025
z = (x-μ)/σ
z = (61 - 56.8)/ 1.7083417025
z = 2.45852
Finding the Probability using the z score table
P(z = 2.45852) = 0.99302
P(x>61) = 1 - P(z = 2.45852) = 0.0069755
≈ 0.007
Therefore,the probability that the sample mean will be more than 61 pounds is 0.007
