Bill Board is "lording" his SAT score over his friend, Rhoda Dendron, who took the ACT. "You only got a 25 in math," he chortled, "while I got a 300 in math." Given that the SAT has a μ of 500 and a σ of 100, and the ACT has a μ of 20 and a σ of 5, what is wrong with Bill’s logic (give the answer in both z scores and percentile ranks).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Rhoda, whose ACT has a z-score of 1, scored in the 84th percentile in the ACT, compared to Bill, whose SAT has a z-score of -2, who scored in the 2nd percentile on the SAT. Due to the higher percentile(higher z-score)  on her test, Rhoda did better on her respective test than Bill, and thus, his logic is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Bill:

Scored 300, so [tex]X = 300[/tex]

SAT has a μ of 500 and a σ of 100.

His z-score is:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{300 - 500}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.02.

This means that Bill, whose SAT score has Z = -2, scored in the 2nd percentile.

Rhoda

Scored 25, so [tex]X = 25[/tex].

ACT has a μ of 20 and a σ of 5

Her z-score:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{25 - 20}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.84

This means that Rhoda, whose ACT score has Z = 1, scored in the 84th percentile.

What is wrong with Bill’s logic ?

Rhoda, whose ACT has a z-score of 1, scored in the 84th percentile in the ACT, compared to Bill, whose SAT has a z-score of -2, who scored in the 2nd percentile on the SAT. Due to the higher percentile(higher z-score)  on her test, Rhoda did better on her respective test than Bill, and thus, his logic is wrong.

The spread of a rumor in a town can be modeled as , where N is the number of people who have heard of the rumor, and t is time (in days). How long will it take until 2000 people know about the rumor?

Answers

Answer:

the time is 16 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the time period is given below:

N = 500 √t

2000 = 500 √t

√t = 4

Now do the square on both the sides

SO,

t = 16

Hence, the time is 16 days

We simply applied the above method to determine the time period

Length of Line AC = 26 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Line AC = [3x + 1] + 8

Line BC = [x - 2] + 2

Find:

Length of Line AC

Computation:

Line AB ║ Line L

So,

Using Mid-Point theorem;

[3x + 1] / 8 = [x - 2] / 2

2[3x + 1] = 8[x - 2]

6x + 2 = 8x - 16

8x - 6x = 16 + 2

2x = 18

x = 9

So,

Line AC = [3x + 1] + 8

Line AC = [3(9) + 1] + 8

Line AC = [27 + 1] + 8

Line AC = 28 + 8

Length of Line AC = 26 units

a. What is the Mode number of people in each car?
b. What is the Median number of people in each car?
c. What is the Mean number of people in each car? Give your answer to 1
decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

a) Mode number = 2

b) Median  = 64.5  = 4 people in car as 0.5 in 64.5 is close to 76

              = 4 people

c) Mean number is  505/6 =   84.1666666667 then we see where 84.16 lies and see this lies with =  3 people

Step-by-step explanation:

45  is 1

198 is 2

121 is 3

76 is 4

52 is 5

13 is 6

Mode we look for the highest frequency and see 198 is the amount and 2 people in car is the subject, we give the subject and that is 2 people in car is the highest frequency and would be the mode.

Median is shown in the answer as we add up.

Mean we add up all frequency and divide by the amount of subjects = 6.

a) Mode number = 2

b) Median = 13, 45, 52, here 76, 121, 198    mid number between

             = (76-52 )/ 2  + (52)= 24 /2 + (52) = 12 + 52 + 0.5 if even number    

median  = 64.5  in a cumulative graph though which is not asked here it would be exactly half of 505 = 257.5 and interquartile we half again and add on 257.5 and show the range values interquartile as 1/2(252.5) and 1/2(252.5+ 505) = 126.25 as one value and 757.5 as the other by drawing a horizontal line from y axis to the points so vertical lines can represnt the cars median and interquartile.

c. Mean number is  505/6 =   84.1666666667 then we see where 84.16 lies and see this lies with 3 seats

For cumulative frequency we can relist numbers like this

45

45 +198 = 243

243 +  121 = 364

364+76 = 440

440 + 52 = 492

492+13 = 505 to plot graph.

But if there was group of measures or time etc then we would always plot the highest of each set for cumulative x axis and use the 2 values to see the ratio for histograms ie) 198/2 = 99 so that all values are read in equal proportions and 2 is a data below the graph not on the graph as 2 does not show as a box count just a name below on x axis. So we have to use the ratio as explained for histograms.

A sample of 28 sales transactions at Costco shows a mean transaction time of 296 seconds with a standard deviation of 48 seconds. Costco is interested in finding out whether the mean transaction time is less than 310 seconds. Answer the following questions. a) Write down the null and alternative hypotheses. b) Find the test statistic and the critical value at 1% significance level. c) At 1% level of significance, what is your conclusion

Answers

Answer:

a) The null hypothesis is [tex]H_0: \mu = 310[/tex] and the alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1: \mu < 310[/tex].

b) The test statistic is [tex]t = -1.54[/tex]. The critical value is [tex]t_c = -2.473[/tex].

c) The test statistic is [tex]t = -1.54 < t_c = -2.473[/tex], which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the mean transaction time is of 310 times, so no evidence to conclude that the mean transaction time is less than 310 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Costco is interested in finding out whether the mean transaction time is less than 310 seconds.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is of 310 seconds, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 310[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is of less than 310 seconds, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 310[/tex]

b) Find the test statistic and the critical value at 1% significance level.

Test if the mean is less than a value, sample of 28, and standard deviation for the sample. Thus, we have a left-tailed t-test with 28 - 1 = 27 degrees of freedom and a 0.01 significance level, and the critical value is [tex]t_c = -2.473[/tex].

The test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation pf the sample and n is the size of the sample.

310 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 310[/tex].

A sample of 28 sales transactions at Costco shows a mean transaction time of 296 seconds with a standard deviation of 48 seconds.

This means that [tex]n = 28, X = 296, s = 48[/tex].

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{296 - 310}{\frac{48}{\sqrt{28}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = -1.54[/tex]

The test statistic is [tex]t = -1.54[/tex].

c) At 1% level of significance, what is your conclusion

The test statistic is [tex]t = -1.54 < t_c = -2.473[/tex], which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the mean transaction time is of 310 times, so no evidence to conclude that the mean transaction time is less than 310 seconds.

Jane and her friend Maria both invest in the stock market. The probability that Jane makes money in a given week is .6. The probability that Jane and Maria both make money in a given week is .48. What is the probability that Maria makes money in a given week if Jane also makes money in that same week

Answers

Answer:

.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome.

Given that the probability that Jane makes money in a given week is .6 and  the probability that Jane and Maria both make money in a given week is .48. Then the probability that Maria makes money in a given week...

Let the probability that Jane makes money in a given week be p(j) and that Maria makes money in a week be p(m) then

p(j) = .6 and

p(j) * p(m) = .48

.6 * p(m) = .48

   By this property,

   x = 2y ------(2)

   By substituting x = 2y in equation (1),

   2y - y = 7

    y = 7

    From equation (1)

    x - 7 = 7

    x = 15

2). If both the right triangles are congruent by HL property of congruence,

How to find the equation of OB?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the coordinates of A, and we know that another coordinate on segment OA is the origin, (0, 0), we can use that information in the slope formula to find the slope of segment OA:

[tex]m_{OA}=\frac{-3-0}{6-0}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Since segment OB is perpendicular to segment OA, then its slope is the opposite reciprocal of that of segment OA. Therefore, the slope of segment OB is 2. We will use that along with the coordinate of the origin to write the equation of OB in the slope-intercept form of a line:

y = mx + b where y = 0, x = 0, m = 2
