When 440 junior college students were surveyed, 200 said they have a passport. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of junior college students that have a passport.
The Confidence Interval is 0.403 < p < 0.497
What is Confidence Interval?The mean of your estimate plus and minus the range of that estimate constitutes a confidence interval. Within a specific level of confidence, this is the range of values you anticipate your estimate to fall within if you repeat the test. In statistics, confidence is another word for probability.
Given:
Sample proportion = 190/425
= 0.45
Now, [tex]\mu[/tex] = 1.96 x √[0.45 x 0.55/425]
[tex]\mu[/tex] = 0.047
So, 95% CI:
0.45-0.047 < p < 0.45+0.047
0.403 < p < 0.497

Find the total surface area of this triangular prism 13cm 5cm 12cm 9cm 15cm 20cm
Answer:
924 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area is equal to the area of the two triangles + area of the three rectangles.
Area of two triangles:
12 × (9+5) × 1/2
= 84
84(2) = 168
Area of the three rectangles:
15 × 20 + 13 × 20 + 14 × 20
= 840
840 + 84
The surface area of the triangular prism is 924 cm².

Susan decides to take a job as a transcriptionist so that she can work part time from home. To get started, she has to buy a computer, headphones, and some special software. The equipment and software together cost her $1000. The company pays her $0.004 per word, and Susan can type 90 words per minute. How many hours must Susan work to break even, that is, to make enough to cover her $1000 start-up cost? If Susan works 4 hours a day, 3days a week, how much will she earn in a month.
Answer:
46.3 hours of work to break even.
$1036.8 per month (4 weeks)
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's find how much Susan earns per hour.
She earns $0.004 per word, and she does 90 words per minute, so she will earn per minute:
0.004 * 90 = $0.36
Then, per hour, she will earn:
0.36 * 60 = $21.6
Now, to find how many hours she needs to work to earn $1000, we just need to divide this value by the amount she earns per hour:
1000 / 21.6 = 46.3 hours.
She works 4 hours a day and 3 days a week, so she works 4*3 = 12 hours a week.
If a month has 4 weeks, she will work 12*4 = 48 hours a month, so she will earn:
48 * 21.6 = $1036.8
Answer:
46.3 hours of work to break even.
$1036.8 per month (4 weeks)

(x-3)(2x²-5x+1)
C) 2x³-11x²+16x-3
Answer:
2x^3-11x^2+16x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) multiply each term inside the parentheses with all other terms:
(x*2x^2)=2x^3
x*-5x=-5x^2
x*1=x
-3*2x^2=-6x^2
-3*-5x=15x
and
-3*1=-3
so
2x^3-5x^2+x-6x^2+15x-3
is our equation
to simplify:
2x^3-11x^2+16x-3 is the answer

0.10 0.05 0.025 0.01 0.005
1.282 1.645 1.960 2.326 2 576
Answer:
The 99% confidence interval for the percentage of people who own a tablet computer is between 71.59% and 88.41%
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval for the proportion of people who own a tablet:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
For this problem, we have that:
[tex]n = 150, \pi = \frac{120}{150} = 0.8[/tex]
99% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.576[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.8 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.8*0.2}{150}} = 0.7159[/tex]
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.8 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.8*0.2}{150}} = 0.8841[/tex]
Percentage:
Multiply the proportion by 100.
0.7159*100 = 71.59%
0.8841*100 = 88.41%
The 99% confidence interval for the percentage of people who own a tablet computer is between 71.59% and 88.41%
Classify the hypothesis test as two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed. At one school, the average amount of time that spend watching television each week is The principal introduces a campaign to encourage the students to watch less television. One year later, the principal wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average amount of time spent watching television per week has decreased from the previous mean of
Answer:
Left tailed test
Step-by-step explanation:
A two tailed test usually determined by the alternative hypothesis involves both the less than and the greater than option.
A left tailed test corresponds to an alternative hypothesis having just one of either options (less than and the greater than option) usually the less than option.
A right tailed test corresponds to an alternative hypothesis having just one of either options (less than and the greater than option) usually the greatest than option.
In this experiment, the null hypothesis is the average amount of time that spend watching television each week is ---
He introduces a campaign to encourage the students to watch less television and then performs a hypothesis test to determine whether the average amount of time spent watching television per week has decreased. The alternative hypothesis would be: u < ---. This means that this test is a left tailed test.

Which statement is true about the steps that Pablo used to simplify the expression?
Prove that If A1, A2, ... , An and B1, B2,...,Bn are sets such that Aj ⊆ Bj for j = 1, 2, 3, ... , n, then ∪j=1nAj ⊆ ∪j=1nBj .
Answer:
This is proved using Proof by induction method. There are two steps in this method
Let P(n) represent the given statement ∪ [tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ⊆ ∪ [tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex]
1. Basis Step: This step proves the given statement for n = 1
2. Induction step: The step proves that if the given statement holds for any given case n = k then it should also be true for n = k + 1.
If the above two steps are true this means that given statement P(n) holds true for all positive n and the mathematical induction P(n): ∪ [tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ⊆ ∪ [tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Basis Step:
For n = 1
∪[tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] = ∪[tex]{ {{1} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] = A₁ ⊆ B₁ = ∪[tex]{ {{1} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] = ∪[tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex]
We show that
∪[tex]{ {{1} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] = A₁ ⊆ B₁ = ∪[tex]{ {{1} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] for n = 1
Hence P(1) is true
Induction Step:
Let P(k) be true which means that we assume that:
for all k with k≥1, P(k): ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ⊆ ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] is true
This is our induction hypothesis and we have to prove that P(k + 1) is also true
This means if ∪ [tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ⊆ ∪ [tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] holds for n = k then this should also hold for n = k + 1.
In simple words if P(k): ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ⊆ ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] is true then ∪[tex]{ {{k+1} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ⊆ ∪[tex]{ {{k+1} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] is also true
∪[tex]{ {{k+1} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] = ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ∪ [tex]A_{k+1}[/tex]
⊆ ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] ∪ [tex]A_{k+1}[/tex] As ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ⊆ ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex]
⊆ ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] ∪ [tex]B_{k+1}[/tex] As [tex]A_{k+1}[/tex] ⊆ [tex]B_{k+1}[/tex]
= ∪[tex]{ {{k+1} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex]
The whole step:
∪[tex]{ {{k+1} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] = ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ∪ [tex]A_{k+1}[/tex] ⊆ ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] ∪ [tex]A_{k+1}[/tex] ⊆ ∪[tex]{ {{k} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] ∪ [tex]B_{k+1}[/tex] = ∪[tex]{ {{k+1} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex]
shows that the P(k+1) also holds for ∪ [tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ⊆ ∪ [tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex]
hence P(k+1) is true
So proof by induction method proves that P(n) is true. This means
P(n): ∪ [tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]A_{j}[/tex] ⊆ ∪ [tex]{ {{n} \atop {j=1}} \right.[/tex] [tex]B_{j}[/tex] is true

Answer:
Approximately standard deviation= 108
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's calculate the mean of the data first.
Mean =( 330+ 274+ 492 +371 +160+ 283+ 164)/7
Mean= 2074/7
Mean= 296.3
Calculating the variance.
Variance = ((330-296.3)²+( 274-296.3)²+ (492-296.3)²+( 371-296.3)²+ (160-296.3)² (283-296.3)²+(164-296.3)²)/7
Variance= (1135.69+497.29+38298.49+5580.09+18577.69+176.89+17503.29)/7
Variance= 81769.43/7
Variance= 11681.347
Standard deviation= √variance

You can model that you expect a 1.25% raise each year that you work for a certain company. If you currently make $40,000, how many years should go by until you are making $120,000? (Round to the closest year.)
Answer:
94 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We can approach the solution using the compound interest equation
[tex]A= P(1+r)^t[/tex]
Given data
P= $40,000
A= $120,000
r= 1.25%= 1.25/100= 0.0125
substituting and solving for t we have
[tex]120000= 40000(1+0.0125)^t \\\120000= 40000(1.0125)^t[/tex]
dividing both sides by 40,000 we have
[tex](1.0125)^t=\frac{120000}{40000} \\\\(1.0125)^t=3\\\ t Log(1.0125)= log(3)\\\ t*0.005= 0.47[/tex]
dividing both sides by 0.005 we have
[tex]t= 0.47/0.005\\t= 94[/tex]

= $ 78.85
Price after discount = 83 - 78.85
= $ 4.15
Answer:
$4.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 83 by .05 to get the new price of $4.15. Additionally, multiply 83 by .95 to get the amount taken off ($78.85).
Suppose we write down the smallest positive 2-digit, 3-digit, and 4-digit multiples of 9,8 and 7(separate number sum for each multiple). What is the sum of these three numbers?
Answer:
Sum of 2 digit = 48
Sum of 3 digit = 317
Sum of 4 digit = 3009
Total = 3374
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
9, 8 and 7
Required
Sum of Multiples
The first step is to list out the multiples of each number
9:- 9,18,....,99,108,117,................,999
,1008
,1017....
8:- 8,16........,96,104,...............,992,1000,1008....
7:- 7,14,........,98,105,.............,994,1001,1008.....
Calculating the sum of smallest 2 digit multiple of 9, 8 and 7
The smallest positive 2 digit multiple of:
- 9 is 18
- 8 is 16
- 7 is 14
Sum = 18 + 16 + 14
Sum = 48
Calculating the sum of smallest 3 digit multiple of 9, 8 and 7
The smallest positive 3 digit multiple of:
- 9 is 108
- 8 is 104
- 7 is 105
Sum = 108 + 104 + 105
Sum = 317
Calculating the sum of smallest 4 digit multiple of 9, 8 and 7
The smallest positive 4 digit multiple of:
- 9 is 1008
- 8 is 1000
- 7 is 1001
Sum = 1008 + 1000 + 1001
Sum = 3009
Sum of All = Sum of 2 digit + Sum of 3 digit + Sum of 4 digit
Sum of All = 48 + 317 + 3009
Sum of All = 3374

Use slopes to determine if the lines 5x−4y=−1 and 4x−y=−9 are perpendicular.
Answer:
Not perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert it to y-intercept form first:
5x - 4y = -1
-4y = -5x - 1
y = 5/4x + 1/4
4x - y = -9
-y = -4x - 9
y = 4x + 9
y = 5/4x + 1/4
y = 4x + 9
From the slopes, they are not considered perpendicular because one of the line slope is not a negative reciprocal of the other line slope.
Answer:
The lines are not perpendicular.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the lines are perpendicular, the product of the slopes should be -1.
These equations are in standard form (Ax + By = C), so we can easily find the slopes through using equation: slope= - A / B
For line 5x−4y=−1,
slope = -A / B
= - 5 /- 4
= 5/4
For line 4x−y=−9
slope = -A / B
= - 4 / -1
= 4
Now multiply the slopes to find the product:
5 /4 x 4
= 5
Since 5 ≠ -1, the lines are not perpendicular.

The statistic for this test is:
[tex]F= \frac{MS_{Treatment}}{MS_{Error}}[/tex]~[tex]F_{k-1;n-k}[/tex]
Attached you'll find an ANOVA table with all its components. As you see, to manually calculate the statistic you have to determine the Sum of Squares and the degrees of freedom for the treatments and the errors, next you calculate the means square for both and finally the test statistic.
For the treatments:
The degrees of freedom between treatments are k-1 (k represents the amount of treatments): [tex]Df_{Tr}= k - 1= 3 - 1 = 2[/tex]
The sum of squares is:
SSTr: ∑ni(Ÿi - Ÿ..)²
Ÿi= sample mean of sample i ∀ i= 1,2,3
Ÿ..= grand mean, is the mean that results of all the groups together.
So the Sum of squares pf treatments SStr is the sum of the square of difference between the sample mean of each group and the grand mean.
To calculate the grand mean you can sum the means of each group and dive it by the number of groups:
Ÿ..= (Ÿ₁ + Ÿ₂ + Ÿ₃)/ 3 = (25.8+22.68+21.29)/3 = 23.256≅ 23.26
[tex]SS_{Tr}[/tex]= (Ÿ₁ - Ÿ..)² + (Ÿ₂ - Ÿ..)² + (Ÿ₃ - Ÿ..)²= (25.8-23.26)² + (22.68-23.26)² + (21.29-23.26)²= 10.6689
[tex]MS_{Tr}= \frac{SS_{Tr}}{Df_{Tr}}= \frac{10.6689}{2}= 5.33[/tex]
For the errors:
The degrees of freedom for the errors are: [tex]Df_{Errors}= N-k= (31+31+14)-3= 76-3= 73[/tex]
The Mean square are equal to the estimation of the variance of errors, you can calculate them using the following formula:
[tex]MS_{Errors}= S^2_e= \frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1+(n_2-1)S^2_2+(n_3-1)S^2_3}{n_1+n_2+n_3-k}= \frac{(30*2.56^2)+(30*3.67^2)+(13*2.76^2)}{31+31+14-3} = \frac{695.3118}{73}= 9.52[/tex]
Now you can calculate the test statistic
[tex]F_{H_0}= \frac{MS_{Tr}}{MS_{Error}} = \frac{5.33}{9.52}= 0.559= 0.56[/tex]
The rejection region for this test is always one-tailed to the right, meaning that you'll reject the null hypothesis to big values of the statistic:
[tex]F_{k-1;N-k;1-\alpha }= F_{2; 73; 0.99}= 4.07[/tex]
If [tex]F_{H_0}[/tex] ≥ 4.07, reject the null hypothesis.
If [tex]F_{H_0}[/tex] < 4.07, do not reject the null hypothesis.
Since the calculated value is less than the critical value, the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.
Then at a 1% significance level you can conclude that the average highway mileage is the same for the three types of vehicles (mid size, SUV and pickup trucks)
I hope this helps!
