Answer:

99% confidence interval for the mean of college students

A) 112.48 < μ < 117.52

Step-by-step explanation:

step(i):-

Given sample size 'n' =150

mean of the sample = 115

Standard deviation of the sample = 10

99% confidence interval for the mean of college students are determined by

[tex](x^{-} -t_{0.01} \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} + t_{0.01} \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } )[/tex]

Step(ii):-

Degrees of freedom

ν = n-1 = 150-1 =149

t₁₄₉,₀.₀₁ =  2.8494

99% confidence interval for the mean of college students are determined by

[tex](115 -2.8494 \frac{10}{\sqrt{150} } , 115 + 2.8494\frac{10}{\sqrt{150} } )[/tex]

on calculation , we get

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{3}x+3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that since the graph of the function is a line, we have a linear function.

To find the equations for linear functions, we need the slope and the y-intercept. Recall the slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We are given the point (0,3) which is the y-intercept. Thus, b = 3.

To find the slope, we can use the slope formula:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} =\frac{2-3}{3-0}=-1/3[/tex]

Therefore, our equation is:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{3}x+3[/tex]

The series of numbers that correspond to the general rule of  [tex]X_n=2n+1[/tex] is {3, 5, 7, 9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the following series options below;

a. 3, 5, 7, 9

b. 2, 4, 5, 8

c. 4, 6, 8,10

d. 2, 3, 4, 5

And we have to identify what number series has a general rule as [tex]X_n=2n+1[/tex].

For this, we will put the values of n in the above expression and then will see which series is obtained as a result.

So, the given expression is ; [tex]X_n=2n+1[/tex]

If we put n = 1, then;

[tex]X_1=(2\times 1)+1[/tex]

[tex]X_1 = 2+1 = 3[/tex]

If we put n = 2, then;

[tex]X_2=(2\times 2)+1[/tex]

[tex]X_2 = 4+1 = 5[/tex]

If we put n = 3, then;

[tex]X_3=(2\times 3)+1[/tex]

[tex]X_3 = 6+1 = 7[/tex]

If we put n = 4, then;

[tex]X_4=(2\times 4)+1[/tex]

[tex]X_4 = 8+1 = 9[/tex]

Answer:

46 logs on the 5th row.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of logs on the nth row is

n =  50 - (n-1)

 n = 51 - n    (so on the first row we have  51 - 1 = 50 logs).

So on the 5th row we have 51 - 5 = 46 logs.

The given relation is an arithmetic progression, which can be solved using the recursive formula: aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d.

The 5th row has 46 logs.

An arithmetic progression is a special series in which every number is the sum of a fixed number, called the constant difference, and the first term.

The first term of the arithmetic progression is taken as a₁.

The constant difference is taken as d.

The n-th term of an arithmetic progression is found using the explicit formula:

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d.

The recursive formula of an arithmetic progression is:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d.

In the question, we are informed that logs are stacked in a pile. The bottom row has 50 logs and the next bottom row has 49 logs. Each row has one less log than the row below it.

The number of rows represents an arithmetic progression, with the first term being the row in the bottom row having 50 logs, that is, a₁ = 50, and the constant difference, d = -1.

We are instructed to use the recursive formula. We know the recursive formula of an arithmetic progression is, aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d.

a₁ = 50.

a₂ = a₁ + d = 50 + (-1) = 49.

a₃ = a₂ + d = 49 + (-1) = 48.

a₄ = a₃ + d = 48 + (-1) = 47.

a₅ = a₄ + d = 47 + (-1) = 46.

Hence, the 5th row will have 46 logs.

Answer:

a) k=2.08 1/hour

b) The exponential growth model can be written as:

[tex]P(t)=Ce^{kt}[/tex]

c) 977,435,644 cells

d) 2.033 billions cells per hour.

e) 2.81 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a model of exponential growth.

We know that the population duplicates every 20 minutes (t=0.33).

The initial population is P(t=0)=58.

The exponential growth model can be written as:

[tex]P(t)=Ce^{kt}[/tex]

For t=0, we have:

[tex]P(0)=Ce^0=C=58[/tex]

If we use the duplication time, we have:

[tex]P(t+0.33)=2P(t)\\\\58e^{k(t+0.33)}=2\cdot58e^{kt}\\\\e^{0.33k}=2\\\\0.33k=ln(2)\\\\k=ln(2)/0.33=2.08[/tex]

Then, we have the model as:

[tex]P(t)=58e^{2.08t}[/tex]

The relative growth rate (RGR) is defined, if P is the population and t the time, as:

[tex]RGR=\dfrac{1}{P}\dfrac{dP}{dt}=k[/tex]

In this case, the RGR is k=2.08 1/h.

After 8 hours, we will have:

[tex]P(8)=58e^{2.08\cdot8}=58e^{16.64}=58\cdot 16,852,338= 977,435,644[/tex]

The rate of growth can be calculated as dP/dt and is:

[tex]dP/dt=58[2.08\cdot e^{2.08t}]=120.64e^2.08t=2.08P(t)[/tex]

For t=8, the rate of growth is:

[tex]dP/dt(8)=2.08P(8)=2.08\cdot 977,435,644 = 2,033,066,140[/tex]

(2.033 billions cells per hour).

We can calculate when the population will reach 20,000 cells as:

[tex]P(t)=20,000\\\\58e^{2.08t}=20,000\\\\e^{2.08t}=20,000/58\approx344.827\\\\2.08t=ln(344.827)\approx5.843\\\\t=5.843/2.08\approx2.81[/tex]

Answer:

Yes, he can buy 8 donuts and 4 energy drinks.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Tension is able to buy 8 donuts and 4 energy drinks, then both inequalities would be valid when we use these numbers as inputs. Let's check each expression at a time:

[tex]0.75*d + 2*e \leq 25\\0.75*8 + 2*4 \leq 25\\6 + 8 \leq 25\\14 \leq 25[/tex]

The first one is valid, since 14 is less than 25. Let's check the second one.

[tex]360*d + 110*e \geq 1000\\360*8 + 110*4 \geq 1000\\2880 + 440 \geq 1000\\3320 \geq 1000[/tex]

The second one is also valid.

Since both expressions are valid, Tension can buy 8 donuts and 4 energy drinks and achieve his goal of having a caloric surplus of at least 1000 cal.

Answer:

The probability is 12.66%.

This is a low probability, so it is unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability of being infected is 0.005, the probability of not being infected is 0.995.

Then, to find the probability of at least one of the 27 people being infected P(A), we can find the complementary case: all people are not infected: P(A').

[tex]P(A') = 0.995^{27}[/tex]

[tex]P(A') = 0.8734[/tex]

Then we can find P(A) using:

[tex]P(A) + P(A') = 1[/tex]

[tex]P(A) = 1 - 0.8734[/tex]

[tex]P(A) = 0.1266 = 12.66\%[/tex]

This is a low probability, so it is unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find what percent 48 is of 120 by dividing:

48/120 = 0.4 or 40%

So, she saved 40% from the original price.

Answer:

(a) Yes, there are 10 independent trials, each with exactly two possible outcomes, and a constant probability associated with each possible outcome.

(b) The probability that exactly 6 out of 10 randomly sampled 18- 20-year-olds consumed an alcoholic drink is 0.203.

(c) The probability that exactly 4 out of 10 randomly sampled 18- 20-year-olds have not consumed an alcoholic drink is 0.203.

(d) The probability that at most 2 out of 5 randomly sampled 18-20-year-olds have consumed alcoholic beverages is 0.167.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that data collected by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) suggests that 69.7% of 18-20-year-olds consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008.

(a) The conditions required for any variable to be considered as a random variable is given by;

So, in our question; all these conditions are satisfied which means the use of the binomial distribution is appropriate for calculating the probability that exactly six consumed alcoholic beverages.

Yes, there are 10 independent trials, each with exactly two possible outcomes, and a constant probability associated with each possible outcome.

(b) Let X = Number of 18- 20-year-olds people who consumed an alcoholic drink

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,......[/tex]

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 10 people

            r = number of success = exactly 6

            p = probability of success which in our question is % 18-20

                  year-olds consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008, i.e; 69.7%.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 10, p = 0.697)

Now, the probability that exactly 6 out of 10 randomly sampled 18- 20-year-olds consumed an alcoholic drink is given by = P(X = 6)

           P(X = 3) =  [tex]\binom{10}{6}\times 0.697^{6} \times (1-0.697)^{10-6}[/tex]

                         =  [tex]210\times 0.697^{6} \times 0.303^{4}[/tex]

                         =  0.203

(c) The probability that exactly 4 out of 10 randomly sampled 18- 20-year-olds have not consumed an alcoholic drink is given by = P(X = 4)

Here p = 1 - 0.697 = 0.303 because here our success is that people who have not consumed an alcoholic drink.

           P(X = 4) =  [tex]\binom{10}{4}\times 0.303^{4} \times (1-0.303)^{10-4}[/tex]

                         =  [tex]210\times 0.303^{4} \times 0.697^{6}[/tex]

                         =  0.203

(d) Let X = Number of 18- 20-year-olds people who consumed an alcoholic drink

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,......[/tex]

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 5 people

            r = number of success = at most 2

            p = probability of success which in our question is % 18-20

                  year-olds consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008, i.e; 69.7%.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 5, p = 0.697)

Now, the probability that at most 2 out of 5 randomly sampled 18-20-year-olds have consumed alcoholic beverages is given by = P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 2)

        P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 3)

= [tex]\binom{5}{0}\times 0.697^{0} \times (1-0.697)^{5-0}+\binom{5}{1}\times 0.697^{1} \times (1-0.697)^{5-1}+\binom{5}{2}\times 0.697^{2} \times (1-0.697)^{5-2}[/tex]

=  [tex]1\times 1\times 0.303^{5}+5 \times 0.697^{1} \times 0.303^{4}+10\times 0.697^{2} \times 0.303^{3}[/tex]

=  0.167

Answer:

0.11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable score, X = 26; mean, ∪ = 19.6; standard deviation, α = 5.2

By comparing P(0≤ Z ≤ 26)

P(Z ≤ X - ∪/α) = P(Z ≤ 26 - 19.6/5.2)

= P(Z ≤ 1.231)

Using Table: P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = 0.39

P(Z > 1) = (0.5 - 0.39) = 0.11

∴ P(Z > 26) = 0.11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are  2 red and 5 white balls in the box, the total number of balls in the bag = 2+5 = 7balls.

Probability that at least 1 ball was​ red, given that the first ball was replaced before the second can be calculated as shown;

Since at least 1 ball picked at random, was red, this means the selection can either be a red ball first then a white ball or two red balls.

Probability of selecting a red ball first then a white ball with replacement = (2/7*5/7) = 10/49

Probability of selecting two red balls with replacement = 2/7*2/7 = 4/49

The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red given that the first ball was replaced before the second draw= 10/49+4/49 = 14/49

If the balls were not replaced before the second draw

Probability of selecting a red ball first then a white ball without replacement = (2/7*5/6) = 10/42 = 5/21

Probability of selecting two red balls without replacement = 2/7*2/6 = 4/42 = 2/21

The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red given that the first ball was not replaced before the second draw = 5/21+4/21 = 9/21 = 3/7

The probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was replaced before the second draw is 28.5%; and the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was not replaced before the second draw is 22.5%.

Since two balls are drawn in succession out of a box containing 2 red and 5 white balls, to find the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was A) replaced before the second draw; and B) not replaced before the second draw; the following calculations must be performed:

Therefore, the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was replaced before the second draw is 28.5%; and the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was not replaced before the second draw is 22.5%.
