Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Null hypothesis = H₀ = There food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.

Alternate hypothesis = H₁ = There is a relationship between voles and food preference.

Expected meadow vole/apple slices = 29.983051

Expected common vole/apple slices = 28.016949

Expected meadow vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 31.016949

Expected common vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 28.983051

Chi-square value = χ² = 2.154239

Degree of freedom = 1

Critical value = 3.841

χ² < Critical value

We failed to reject H₀

We do not have significant evidence at the given significance level to show that there is a relationship between voles and food preference.

Step-by-step explanation:

He frequently traps the moles and has noticed what appears to be a preference for a peanut butter-oatmeal mixture by the meadow voles vs apple slices are usually used in traps, where the common voles seem to prefer the apple slices.

So he conducted a study where he used a peanut butter-oatmeal mixture in half the traps and the normal apple slices in his remaining traps to see if there was a food preference between the two different voles.

Null hypothesis = H₀ = There food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.

Alternate hypothesis = H₁ = There is a relationship between voles and food preference.

Data collected by Dr. Pagels:

                                              meadow voles     common voles      Row Total

apple slices                                     26                          32                      58

peanut butter-oatmeal                   35                          25                     60

Column Total                                   61                          57                     118

Where 118 is the grand total.

The expected number is given by

Expected = (row total)×(column total)/grand total

Expected meadow vole/apple slices = 58×61/118

Expected meadow vole/apple slices = 29.983051

Expected common vole/apple slices = 58×57/118

Expected common vole/apple slices = 28.016949

Expected meadow vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 60×61/118

Expected meadow vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 31.016949

Expected common vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 60×57/118

Expected common vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 28.983051

The chi-square statistic value is given by

χ² = Σ(Observed - Expected)²/Expected

χ² = (26 - 29.983051)²/29.983051 + (32 - 28.016949)²/28.016949 + (35 - 31.016949)²/31.016949 + (25 - 28.983051)²/28.983051

χ² = 2.154239

The degrees of freedom is given by

DoF = (row - 1)×(col - 1)

For the given case, we have 2 rows and 2 columns

DoF = (2 - 1)×(2 - 1)

DoF = 1

The given level of significance = 0.05

The critical value from the chi-square table at α = 0.05 and DoF = 1 is found to be

Critical value = 3.841

Conclusion:

Reject H₀ If χ² > Critical value

We reject the Null hypothesis If the calculated chi-square value is more than the critical value.

For the given case,

χ² < Critical value

We failed to reject H₀

We do not have significant evidence at the given significance level to show that there is a relationship between voles and food preference.

At 95% confidence, how large a sample should be taken to obtain a margin of error of 0.05 for the estimation of a population proportion

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 385 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

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].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

How large a sample:

We need a sample of n.

n is found when M = 0.05.

We dont know the true proportion, so we work with the worst case scenario, which is [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.05})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = 384.16[/tex]

Answer: x=2

Explanation: 180-52 = 128

So we have an equation:

2^3x+1=128 ( cuz they are in the same position)

Now we need to find what number that 2 raise to the power of that number is 128

And the answer is 2^7=128

Let’s go back to our equation:

2^3x+1=128
And we know that 2^7=128
Now we just have to make 3x+1=7:
3x+1=7

What is the complete factorization of x^2+4x-45?​

Answers

Answer:(x-5)(x+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want two numbers that can give you -45 in multiplication and two numbers that can add to 4 and that is -5 and 9.

Answer:  (x - 5)(x + 9)

If you have to solve, x=5 or x= -9

Step-by-step explanation: You need two numbers that multiply to be 45.

(could be 3 × 15 or 5 × 9) . The difference between the two factors needs to be 4, the coefficient of the middle term.

9 - 5 =4, so use those.  -45 has a negative sign, so one of the factors must be + and the other -  Since the 4 has the + sign, the larger factor has to be + so the difference will be positive.

So (x -5)(x + 9) are your factors. You can FOIL to be sure

x × x +=. x × 9 = 9x .  -5 ×  x = -5x . -5 × 9 = -45 .

Combine the x terms: 9x -5x = +4x

Provide your answer below:
Lower Class Limit Upper Class Limit Relative Frequency

Answers

Answer:

The frequency table is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set arranged ascending order is:

S = {33 , 34 , 39 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 58 , 58,  60 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 70 , 71 , 74 , 84}

It is asked to use the minimum value from the data set as the lower class limit for the first row.

So, the lower class limit for the first class interval is 33.

To determine the class width compute the range as follows:

[tex]\text{Range}=\text{Maximum}-\text{Minimum}[/tex]

          [tex]=84-33\\=51[/tex]

The number of classes requires is 5.

The class width is:

[tex]\text{Class width}=\frac{Range}{5}=\frac{51}{2}=10.2\approx 10[/tex]

So, the class width is 10.

The classes are:

33 - 42

43 - 52

53 - 62

63 - 72

73 - 82

83 - 92

Compute the frequencies of each class as follows:

   TOTAL                                                                   20

Compute the relative frequencies as follows:

The lengths of adult males' hands are normally distributed with mean 190 mm and standard deviation is 7.4 mm. Suppose that 45 individuals are randomly chosen. Round all answers to 4 where possible.
What is the distribution of ¯xx¯? ¯xx¯ ~ N(,)
For the group of 45, find the probability that the average hand length is less than 189.
Find the third quartile for the average adult male hand length for this sample size.
For part b), is the assumption that the distribution is normal necessary?

Answers

Answer:

a. The distribution of the sample means is normal with mean 190 mm and standard deviation 1.1031 mm.

b. The probability that the average hand length is less than 189 is P(M<189)=0.1823.

c. The third quartile for the average adult male hand length for this sample size is M_75=190.7440.

d. The assumption of normality is not necessary as the sampling distribution will tend to have a bell shaped independently of the population distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a normal distribution, with mean 190 and standard deviation 7.4.

We take samples of size n=45 from this population.

Then, the sample means will have a distribution with the following parameters:

[tex]\mu_s=\mu=190\\\\ \sigma_s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{7.4}{\sqrt{45}}=\dfrac{7.4}{6.7082}=1.1031[/tex]

The probability that the sample mean is less than 189 can be calculated as:

[tex]z=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{189-190}{7.4/\sqrt{45}}=\dfrac{-1}{1.1031}=-0.9065\\\\\\P(M<189)=P(z<-0.9065)=0.1823[/tex]

The third quartile represents the value of the sample where 75% of the data is to the left of this value. It means that:

[tex]P(M<M^*)=0.75[/tex]

The third quartile corresponds to a z-value of z*=0.6745.

[tex]P(z<z^*)=0.75[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the sample mean for the third quartile as:

[tex]M=\mu_s+z^*\sigma_s=190+0.6745\cdot 1.1031=190+0.7440=190.7440[/tex]

The assumption of normality is not necessary as the sampling distribution will tend to have a bell shaped independently of the population distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function, x^2, touches the x-axis at x=0. Translating it 6 units left replaces x with x-(-6) = x+6, so the function is ...

  f(x) = (x+6)^2 = x^2 +12x +36

                       Service revenue                                             2413

internet = 300, price = 550, connection service = 500

(300/550) * 500 = 273

so

Original internet service contract = 40 * 273 = 10,920

Revenue recognized in 1st two years = 10,920 * 2/3 = 7280

Remaining service at original rates = 10920 - 7280 = 3640

Extended service = 3600

3640 + 3600 = $7240  

7240 / 3 = $2413

Answer:

The leg measures 2 I believe

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the squares of the legs equal C ([tex]A^{2} +B^{2} = C^{2}[/tex]) the square root of 16 would be 4.

The Pythagorean theorem is a basic relationship between the three sides of a right triangle. The length of one leg of the triangle is 2√2 cm.

What is the Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagorean theorem, sometimes known as Pythagoras' theorem, is a basic relationship between the three sides of a right triangle in Euclidean geometry. The size of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides, according to this rule.

[tex]\rm (Hypotenuse)^2 =(Perpendicular)^2 + (Base)^2[/tex]

Let the length of the perpendicular be x.

Given the length of the hypotenuse is 4 centimeters, while the length of the other two sides is the same, therefore, the length of the other two sides is x. Therefore, using the Pythagorus theorem we can write,

[tex]\rm (Hypotenuse)^2 =(Perpendicular)^2 + (Base)^2[/tex]

[tex]4^2 = x^2+x^2\\\\16=2x^2\\\\8=x^2\\\\x= 2\sqrt2[/tex]

Hence, the length of one leg of the triangle is 2√2 cm.

In a survey, 205 people indicated they prefer cats, 160 indicated they prefer dots, and 40 indicated they don’t enjoy either pet. Find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, they prefer cats

Answers

Answer: probability =  0.506

Step-by-step explanation:

The data we have is:

Total people: 205 + 160 + 40 = 405

prefer cats: 205

prefer dogs: 160

neither: 40

The probability that a person chosen at random prefers cats is equal to the number of people that prefer cats divided the total number of people:

p = 205/405 = 0.506

in percent form, this is 50.6%

Find the length and width of a rectangle that has the given perimeter and a maximum area. Perimeter: 116 meters

Answers

Answer:

Length = 29 m

Width = 29 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the length and width of the rectangle, respectively.

The area and perimeter are given by:

[tex]A=xy\\p=116=2x+2y\\y=58-x[/tex]

Rewriting the area as a function of x:

[tex]A(x) = x(58-x)\\A(x) = 58x-x^2[/tex]

The value of x for which the derivate of the area function is zero, is the length that maximizes the area:

[tex]A(x) = 58x-x^2\\\frac{dA}{dx}=0=58-2x\\ x=29\ m[/tex]

The value of y is:

[tex]y = 58-29\\y=29\ m[/tex]

Length = 29 m

Width = 29 m

The mean monthly car payment for 123 residents of the local apartment complex is $624. What is the best point estimate for the mean monthly car payment for all residents of the local apartment complex?

Answers

Answer:

The best point estimate for the mean monthly car payment for all residents of the local apartment complex is $624.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

In this question:

We apply the inverse Central Limit Theorem.

The mean monthy car payment for 123 residents of the local apartment complex is $624.

So, for all residents of the local apartment complex, the best point estimate for the mean monthly car payment is $624.

The dimensions of a closed rectangular box are measured as 96 cm, 58 cm, and 48 cm, respectively, with a possible error of 0.2 cm in each dimension. Use differentials to estimate the maximum error in calculating the surface area of the box.

Answers

Answer:

161.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area of the rectangular box = 2(LW+LH+WH)

L is the length of the box

W is the width of the box

H is the height of the box

let dL, dW and dH be the possible error in the dimensions L, W and H respectively.

Since there is a possible error of 0.2cm in each dimension, then dL = dW = dH = 0.2cm

The surface Area of the rectangular box using the differentials is expressed as shown;

S = 2{(LdW+WdL)+(LdH+HdL)+(WdH+HdW)]

Also given L = 96cm W = 58cm and H = 48cm, on substituting this given values and the differential error, we will have;

S = 2{(96*0.2+58*0.2) + (96*0.2+48*0.2)+(58*0.2+48*0.2)}

S = 2{19.2+11.6+19.2+9.6+11.6+9.6}

S = 2(80.8)

S = 161.6 cm²

Hence, the surface area of the box is 161.6 cm²

The width of a casing for a door is normally distributed with a mean of 24 inches and a standard deviation of 1/8 inch. The width of a door is normally distributed with a mean of 23 7/8 inches and a standard deviation of 1/16 inch. Assume independence. a. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the difference between the width of the casing and the width of the door. b. What is the probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch? c. What is the probability that the door does not fit in the casing?

Answers

Answer:

a) Mean = 0.125 inch

Standard deviation = 0.13975 inch

b) Probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch = P(X > 0.25) = 0.18673

c) Probability that the door does not fit in the casing = P(X < 0) = 0.18673

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distribution of the width of the casing be X₁ (μ₁, σ₁²)

Let the distribution of the width of the door be X₂ (μ₂, σ₂²)

The distribution of the difference between the width of the casing and the width of the door = X = X₁ - X₂

when two independent normal distributions are combined in any manner, the resulting distribution is also a normal distribution with

Mean = Σλᵢμᵢ

λᵢ = coefficient of each disteibution in the manner that they are combined

μᵢ = Mean of each distribution

Combined variance = σ² = Σλᵢ²σᵢ²

λ₁ = 1, λ₂ = -1

μ₁ = 24 inches

μ₂ = 23 7/8 inches = 23.875 inches

σ₁² = (1/8)² = (1/64) = 0.015625

σ₂ ² = (1/16)² = (1/256) = 0.00390625

Combined mean = μ = 24 - 23.875 = 0.125 inch

Combined variance = σ² = (1² × 0.015625) + [(-1)² × 0.00390625] = 0.01953125

Standard deviation = √(Variance) = √(0.01953125) = 0.1397542486 = 0.13975 inch

b) Probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch = P(X > 0.25)

This is a normal distribution problem

Mean = μ = 0.125 inch

Standard deviation = σ = 0.13975 inch

We first normalize/standardize 0.25 inch

The standardized score of any value is that value minus the mean divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (0.25 - 0.125)/0.13975 = 0.89

P(X > 0.25) = P(z > 0.89)

Checking the tables

P(x > 0.25) = P(z > 0.89) = 1 - P(z ≤ 0.89) = 1 - 0.81327 = 0.18673

c) Probability that the door does not fit in the casing

If X₂ > X₁, X < 0

P(X < 0)

We first normalize/standardize 0 inch

z = (x - μ)/σ = (0 - 0.125)/0.13975 = -0.89

P(X < 0) = P(z < -0.89)

Checking the tables

P(X < 0) = P(z < -0.89) = 0.18673

Hope this Helps!!!

Silver Lake has a population of 114,000. The population is decreasing at a rate of 1.5% each year. Which of the following choices is the correct function? a p(s) = 114000• 0.985x b p(s) = 114000x c p(s) = 114000x + 0.985 d None of these choices are correct.

Answers

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, Silver Lake has a population of 114,000. The population is decreasing at a rate of 1.5% each year

The initial population Po = 114000

Rate = 1.5% = 0.015

The declining population formula will be:

P = Po( 1 - R%)x^2

The decay formula

Since the population is decreasing, take away 0.015 from 1

1 - 0.015 = 0.985

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

P(s) = 114000(0.985)x^2

P(s) = 114000× 0985x^2

The correct answer is written above.

Since option A does not have square of x, we can therefore conclude that the answer is D - non of the choices is correct.

if a varies inversely as the cube root of b and a=1 when b=64, find b​

Answers

Answer:

  b = 64/a³

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given information, we can only find a relation between a and b. We cannot find any specific value for b.

Since a varies inversely as the cube root of b, we have ...

  a = k/∛b

Multiplying by ∛b lets us find the value of k:

  k = a·∛b = 1·∛64 = 4

Taking the cube of this equation gives ...

  64 = a³b

  b = 64/a³ . . . . . divide by a³

The value of b is ...

  b = 64/a³

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether each of these functions is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex], we apply these theorems:

A polynomial is always O(the term containing the highest power of n)Any O(x) function is always [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].

(a)Given the function: f(x)=100x+1000

The highest power of n is 1.

Therefore f(x) is O(x).

Since any O(x) function is always [tex]O(x^2)[/tex], 100x+1000 is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].

[tex](b) f(x)=100x^ 2 + 1000[/tex]

The highest power of n is 2.

Therefore the function is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].
