PROBLEM 6. 10 A histogram has mean 70 and standard deviation 5 If the histogram is not bell shaped but it is symmetric. Find the least proportion of data falls between 70 and 80 If the histogram is bell shaped. Find the proportion of data between 65 and 77
Answer:
a. 0.4772 = 47.72 %
b. 0.7605 = 76.05 %
Step-by-step explanation:
What we must do is calculate the z value for each value and thus find what percentage each represents and the subtraction would be the percentage between those two values.
We have that z is equal to:
z = (x - m) / (sd)
x is the value to evaluate, m the mean, sd the standard deviation
a. ind the least proportion of data falls between 70 and 80 If the histogram is bell shaped:
So for 70 copies we have:
z = (70 - 70) / (5)
z = 0
and this value represents 0.5
So for 80 copies we have:
z = (80 - 70) / (5)
z = 2
and this value represents 0.9772
p (70 > x > 80) = 0.9772 - 0.5
p (70 > x > 80) = 0.4772 = 47.72 %
b. Find the proportion of data between 65 and 77
So for 65 copies we have:
z = (65 - 70) / (5)
z = -1
and this value represents 0.1587
So for 77 copies we have:
z = (77 - 70) / (5)
z = 1.4
and this value represents 0.9192
p (65 > x > 77) = 0.9192 - 0.1587
p (65 > x > 77) = 0.7605 = 76.05 %

A game popular in Nevada gambling casinos is Keno, which is played as follows: Twenty numbers are selected at random by the casino from the set of numbers 1 through 80. A player can select from 1 to 15 numbers; a win occurs if some fraction of the player’s chosen subset matches any of the 20 numbers drawn by the house. The payoff is a function of the number of elements in the player’s selection and the number of matches. For instance, if the player selects only 1 number, then he or she wins if this number is among the set of 20, and the payoff is $2.20 won for every dollar bet. (As the player’s probability of winning in this case is , it is clear that the "fair" payoff should be $3 won for every $1 bet). When the player selects 2 numbers, a payoff (of odds) of $12 won for every $1 bet is made when both numbers are among the 20.A) What would be the fair payoff in this case? Let P, k denote the probability that exactly k of the n numbers chosen by the player are among the 20 selected by the house. B) Compute Pn, k.C) The most typical wager at Keno consists of selecting 10 numbers. For such a bet, the casino pays off as shown in the following table. Compute the expected payoff.
The missing part in the question;
and the payoff is $2.20 won for every dollar bet. (As the player’s probability of winning in this case is [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]........
Also:
For such a bet, the casino pays off as shown in the following table.
The table can be shown as:
Keno Payoffs in 10 Number bets
Number of matches Dollars won for each $1 bet
0 - 4 -1
5 1
6 17
7 179
8 1299
9 2599
10 24999
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Twenty numbers are selected at random by the casino from the set of numbers 1 through 80
A player can select from 1 to 15 numbers; a win occurs if some fraction of the player’s chosen subset matches any of the 20 numbers drawn by the house
Let assume X to represent the numbers of player chooses which are in the Casino-selected-set of 20.
Let assume the random variable X has a hypergeometric distribution with parameters N= 80 and m =20.
Then, the probability mass function of a hypergeometric distribution can be defined as:
[tex]P(X=k)=\dfrac{(^m_k)(^{N-m}_{n-k})}{(^N_n)}, k =1,2,3 ... n[/tex]
Now; the probability that i out of n numbers chosen by the player among 20 can be expressed as:
[tex]P(X=k)=\dfrac{(^{20}_k)(^{60}_{n-k})}{(^{80}_n)}, k =1,2,3 ... n[/tex]
Also; given that ; When the player selects 2 numbers, a payoff (of odds) of $12 won for every $1 bet is made when both numbers are among the 20
So; n= 2; k= 2
Then :
Probability P ( Both number in the set 20) [tex]=\dfrac{(^{20}_2)(^{60}_{2-2})}{(^{80}_2)}[/tex]
Probability P ( Both number in the set 20) [tex]= \dfrac{20*19}{80*79}[/tex]
Probability P ( Both number in the set 20) [tex]=\dfrac{19}{316}[/tex]
Probability P ( Both number in the set 20) [tex]=\dfrac{1}{16.63}[/tex]
Thus; the payoff odd for [tex]=\dfrac{1}{16.63}[/tex] is 16.63:1 ,as such fair payoff in this case is $16.63
Again;
Let assume X to represent the numbers of player chooses which are in the Casino-selected-set of 20.
Let assume the random variable X has a hypergeometric distribution with parameters N= 80 and m =20.
The probability mass function of the hypergeometric distribution can be defined as :
[tex]P(X=k)=\dfrac{(^m_k)(^{N-m}_{n-k})}{(^N_n)}, k =1,2,3 ... n[/tex]
Now; the probability that i out of n numbers chosen by the player among 20 can be expressed as:
[tex]P(n,k)=\dfrac{(^{20}_k)(^{60}_{n-k})}{(^{80}_n)}, k =1,2,3 ... n[/tex]
From the table able ; the expected payoff can be computed as shown in the attached diagram below. Thanks.

Use the sample data and confidence level given below to complete parts (a) through (d). A research institute poll asked respondents if they felt vulnerable to identity theft. In the poll, n equals 1036 and x equals 583 who said "yes." Use a 90 % confidence level.
Required:
a. Find the best point estimate of the population proportion p.
b. Identify the value of the margin of error E =_______
c. Construct the confidence interval.
d. Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval.
1. One has 99% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion.
2. There is a 99% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
3. One has 99% confidence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper bound actually does contain the true value of the population proportion.
Answer:
a. p=0.562
b. E = 0.0253
c. The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.537, 0.587).
d. We have 90% confidence that the interval (0.537, 0.587) contains the true value of the population proportion.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion.
The sample proportion is p=0.562.
[tex]p=X/n=583/1038=0.562[/tex]
The standard error of the proportion is:
[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.562*0.438}{1038}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.000237}=0.0154[/tex]
The critical z-value for a 90% confidence interval is z=1.645.
The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:
[tex]MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.645 \cdot 0.0154=0.0253[/tex]
Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:
[tex]LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.562-0.0253=0.537\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.562+0.0253=0.587[/tex]
The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.537, 0.587).
We have 90% confidence that the interval contains the true value of the population proportion.

Imagine you have a rectangular wooden block with dimensions of 10 cm x 3 cm x 8 cm (L x W x H). Required:a. What is the volume of your wooden block?b. What is the density of this wooden block if it has a mass of 168 g?
Answer:
a) The volume of the wooden block is 240 cm^3.
b) The density of the wooden block is 0.7 g/cm^3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the rectangular wooden block can be calculated as the multiplication of the length in each dimension: length, wide and height.
With dimensions 10 cm x 3 cm x 8 cm, the volume is:
[tex]V=L\cdot W\cdot H = 10\cdot 3\cdot 8=240[/tex]
The volume of the wooden block is 240 cm^3.
If we know that the mass of the wooden block is 168 g, we can calculate the density as:
[tex]\rho = \dfrac{M}{V}=\dfrac{168}{240}=0.7[/tex]
The density of the wooden block is 0.7 g/cm^3.
Mary is selling chocolate bars to raise money. She earns $3 for each solid milk chocolate bar sold and $4 for each caramel-filled bar sold. If m represents the number of milk chocolate bars sold, and c represents the number of caramel bars sold, which of the following expressions represents the amount of money that Mary has raised? Question 6 options: A) 3m – 4c B) m∕3 + i∕4 C) 12mc D) 3m + 4c
Answer:
3m + 4c
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever a word problem says the word earn that means the slope, also known as the rate of change, will be positive. Knowing this you can determine that both the caramel and milk chocolate slopes will be positive. After figuring all that out the only thing left to do is to make the equation. You know you have two slopes, and each slope needs a variable, so you will have to look back at the question. It is given that m represents the milk chocolate and c represents the caramel. Now all you have to do is make the slope the coefficient to the corresponding variable. The milk chocolates are 3 dollars, so the 3 goes in front of the m and the caramel chocolates are 4 dollars, so teh 4 goes in front of the 4. Since both slopes are positive no negatives or minus signs will be used in the equation. Knowing all this information you can now create the expression 3m + 4c.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
3m + 4c

A company makes wax candles shaped like rectangular prisms. Each candle is 7cm long, 2cm wide, and 10cm tall. If they used 5740cm^3 of wax, how many candles did they make?
Answer: 41 candles
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the dimensions of the candle first.
V = l*w*h
7 * 2 = 14
14 * 10 = 140
Now, divide the total amount of wax used by the amount of wax used for one candle.
5,740 / 140 = 41
An elementary school is offering 3 language classes: one in Spanish, one in French, and one in German. The classes are open to any of the 100 students in the school. There are 28 students in the Spanish class, 26 in the French class, and 16 in the German class. There are 12 students who are in both Spanish and French, 4 who are in both Spanish and German, and 6 who are in both French and German. In addition, there are 2 students taking all 3 classes. If two students are randomly chosen, what is the probability that at exactly one of them does exactly two language classes.
Answer:
The probability that at exactly one of them does exactly two language classes is 0.32.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can model this variable as a binomial random variable with sample size n=2.
The probability of success, meaning the probability that a student is in exactly two language classes can be calculated as the division between the number of students that are taking exactly two classes and the total number of students.
The number of students that are taking exactly two classes is equal to the sum of the number of students that are taking two classes, minus the number of students that are taking the three classes:
[tex]N_2=F\&S+S\&G+F\&G-F\&S\&G=12+4+6-2=20[/tex]
Then, the probabilty of success p is:
[tex]p=20/100=0.2[/tex]
The probability that k students are in exactly two classes can be calcualted as:
[tex]P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{2}{k} 0.2^{k} 0.8^{2-k}\\\\\\[/tex]
Then, the probability that at exactly one of them does exactly two language classes is:
[tex]P(x=1) = \dbinom{2}{1} p^{1}(1-p)^{1}=2*0.2*0.8=0.32\\\\\\[/tex]

Why do you think writing is an effective way to convince others
Answer:
Considering the audience helps a writer identify the types of details and language needed in the writing. Considering the audience helps the writer identify what is important to him or her. Considering the audience allows the writer to write about what he or she wants. Knowing the audience for a particular essay is important because it determines the content that will appear in the writing. If you are arguing for a change to occur, identifying the level at which you want this change to occur and/or the people you want to persuade to help create this change (audience) is important step by step
The television show 50 Minutes has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 20, meaning that among the TV sets in use, 20% were tuned to 50 Minutes. Assume that an advertiser wants to verify that 20% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 14 households have TV sets in use at the time of a 50 Minutes broadcast. Find the probability that none of the households are tuned to 50 Minutes.
Answer:
The probability that none of the households are tuned to 50 Minutes is 0.04398.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the television show 50 Minutes has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 20, meaning that among the TV sets in use, 20% were tuned to 50 Minutes.
A pilot survey begins with 14 households have TV sets in use at the time of a 50 Minutes broadcast.
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;
[tex]P(X = r)= \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ;x = 0,1,2,3,.........[/tex]
where, n = number of samples (trials) taken = 14 households
r = number of success = none of the households are tuned to 50 min
p = probability of success which in our question is probability that households were tuned to 50 Minutes, i.e. p = 20%
Let X = Number of households that are tuned to 50 Minutes
So, X ~ Binom(n = 14, p = 0.20)
Now, the probability that none of the households are tuned to 50 Minutes is given by = P(X = 0)
P(X = 0) = [tex]\binom{14}{0} \times 0.20^{0} \times (1-0.20)^{14-0}[/tex]
= [tex]1 \times 1 \times 0.80^{14}[/tex]

Find the x-intercepts for the quadratic function y= -1/2(x+3)^2 +4
Answer:
x= -3 +√2 ≈ -0.1716, and x = - 3 -2√2 ≈ -5.8284
Step-by-step explanation:
y= -1/2(x+3)² +4
For x -intercept, y = 0.
0 = - 1/2(x+3)² + 4 /*(-2)
0 = (x+3)² - 8
(x+3)² = 8
√(x+3)² = +/-√8
x+3 = +/-√8
x = - 3+/- 2√2
x= -3 +√2 ≈ -0.1716, and x = - 3-2√2 ≈ -5.8284

where b is the base and h is the height.
(x-4) cm
(2x2 + 2x-6) cm
(Not drawn to scale)
Answer:
B) 2x³ – 6x² – 14x + 24 square centimetersStep-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete and lacks the required diagram. Find the diagram attached. Here is also the complete question.
"The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = bh, where b is the base and h is the height. Which simplified expression represents the area of the parallelogram? –4x3 + 14x – 24 square centimeters 2x3 – 6x2 – 14x + 24 square centimeters –4x3 – 14x + 24 square centimeters 2x3 + 6x2 + 14x + 24 square centimeters"
Area of a parallelogram = Base * Height.
Given the height of the parallelogram = (x-4)cm
Base = (2x² + 2x-6) cm
Area of the parallelogram = (x-4)cm * (2x² + 2x-6) cm
Area of the parallelogram = (x-4)(2x²+2x-6)
Area of the parallelogram = 2x³+2x²-6x-8x²-8x+24
= 2x³+2x²-8x²-6x-8x+24
= (2x³-6x²-14x+24)cm²

Dr. Miriam Johnson has been teaching accounting for over 20 years. From her experience, she knows that 60% of her students do homework regularly. Moreover, 95% of the students who do their homework regularly generally pass the course. She also knows that 85% of her students pass the course.
a. What is the probability that a student will do homework regularly and also pass the course?
b. What is the probability that a student will neither do homework regularly nor will pass the course?
c. Are the events "pass the course" and "do homework regularly" mutually exclusive? Explain.
d. Are the events "pass the course" and "do homework regularly" independent? Explain.
Answer:
a) The probability that a student will do homework regularly and also pass the course = P(H n P) = 0.57
b) The probability that a student will neither do homework regularly nor will pass the course = P(H' n P') = 0.12
c) The two events, pass the course and do homework regularly, aren't mutually exclusive. Check Explanation for reasons why.
d) The two events, pass the course and do homework regularly, aren't independent. Check Explanation for reasons why.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the event that a student does homework regularly be H.
The event that a student passes the course be P.
- 60% of her students do homework regularly
P(H) = 60% = 0.60
- 95% of the students who do their homework regularly generally pass the course
P(P|H) = 95% = 0.95
- She also knows that 85% of her students pass the course.
P(P) = 85% = 0.85
a) The probability that a student will do homework regularly and also pass the course = P(H n P)
The conditional probability of A occurring given that B has occurred, P(A|B), is given as
P(A|B) = P(A n B) ÷ P(B)

P(A n B) = P(A|B) × P(B)
Hence,
P(H n P) = P(P n H) = P(P|H) × P(H) = 0.95 × 0.60 = 0.57
b) The probability that a student will neither do homework regularly nor will pass the course = P(H' n P')
From Sets Theory,
P(H n P') + P(H' n P) + P(H n P) + P(H' n P') = 1
P(H n P) = 0.57 (from (a))
Note also that
P(H) = P(H n P') + P(H n P) (since the events P and P' are mutually exclusive)
0.60 = P(H n P') + 0.57
P(H n P') = 0.60 - 0.57
Also
P(P) = P(H' n P) + P(H n P) (since the events H and H' are mutually exclusive)
0.85 = P(H' n P) + 0.57
P(H' n P) = 0.85 - 0.57 = 0.28
So,
P(H n P') + P(H' n P) + P(H n P) + P(H' n P') = 1
Becomes
0.03 + 0.28 + 0.57 + P(H' n P') = 1
P(H' n P') = 1 - 0.03 - 0.57 - 0.28 = 0.12
c) Are the events "pass the course" and "do homework regularly" mutually exclusive? Explain.
Two events are said to be mutually exclusive if the two events cannot take place at the same time. The mathematical statement used to confirm the mutual exclusivity of two events A and B is that if A and B are mutually exclusive,
P(A n B) = 0.
But, P(H n P) has been calculated to be 0.57, P(H n P) = 0.57 ≠ 0.
Hence, the two events aren't mutually exclusive.
d. Are the events "pass the course" and "do homework regularly" independent? Explain
Two events are said to be independent of the probabilty of one occurring dowant depend on the probability of the other one occurring. It sis proven mathematically that two events A and B are independent when
P(A|B) = P(A)
P(B|A) = P(B)
P(A n B) = P(A) × P(B)
To check if the events pass the course and do homework regularly are mutually exclusive now.
P(P|H) = 0.95
P(P) = 0.85
P(H|P) = P(P n H) ÷ P(P) = 0.57 ÷ 0.85 = 0.671
P(H) = 0.60
P(H n P) = P(P n H)
P(P|H) = 0.95 ≠ 0.85 = P(P)
P(H|P) = 0.671 ≠ 0.60 = P(H)
P(P)×P(H) = 0.85 × 0.60 = 0.51 ≠ 0.57 = P(P n H)
None of the conditions is satisfied, hence, we can conclude that the two events are not independent.
Hope this Helps!!!
