In a class of p students, the average (arithmetic mean) of the test scores is 70.
In another class of n students, the average of the scores for the same test is 92.
When the scores of the two classes are combined, the average of the test scores is 86.

What is the value of p/n?"

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of a set of [tex]n[/tex] values is equal to the sum of all values in that set divided by [tex]n[/tex].

Conceptually, if [tex]p=n[/tex], the average should the mean of 70 and 92, which is 81. Since the combined mean is actually 86, we know that [tex]n>p[/tex] (just something to keep in the back of your mind).

To solve, write an equation using the definition of arithmetic mean (refer to the first sentence in the answer):

[tex]\frac{70p+92n}{p+n}=86,\\70p+92n=86(p+n),\\70p+92n=86p+86n,\\6n=16p,\\\frac{p}{n}=\frac{6}{16}=\boxed{\frac{3}{8}}[/tex]

Y is directly proportional to
the square of (x - 1). y=63
when x=4. find the value of y
when x=6.

Answers

Answer:

y = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

y [tex]\alpha[/tex] [tex](x -1)^{2}[/tex]

y = c ([tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 2x + 1)

When y = 63, x = 4;

63 = c ([tex]4^{2}[/tex] - 2(4) + 1)

     = 9c

63 = 9c

c = [tex]\frac{63}{9}[/tex]

c = 7

Thus,

y = 4([tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 2x + 1)

The value of y when x = 6 can be determined as;

y = 4([tex]6^{2}[/tex] - 2(6) + 1)

   = 4(25)

y = 100

Therefore, y = 100

Retention rates in a weight loss program. Americans spend over $30 billion annually on a variety of weight loss products and services. In a study of retention rates of those using the Rewards Program at Jenny Craig in 2005, it was found that about 18% of those who began the program dropped out in the first four weeks.10 Assume we have a random sample of 300 people beginning the program.
a) What is the mean number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks in a sample of this size? What is the standard deviation?
b) What is the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks?

Answers

Answer:

(a)

[tex]\mu=54[/tex]    

The standard deviation is  

[tex]\sigma=6.6543[/tex]

(b)

[tex]\mu=246\\\sigma=6.6543[/tex]  

Here sample size is large and np and n(1-p) are both greater than 30. So we can use a normal approximation of binomial distribution. z-score for Y = 234.5 (using continuity correction) is  

[tex]z=-1.73[/tex]

So the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks is  

[tex]P(Y\geq 235)=P(Y\geq 234.5)=P(z\geq -1.73)=0.9582[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let X is a random variable that shows the number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks. Here X has binomial distribution with parameters n = 300 and p = 0.18.

(a)  

The mean number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks in a sample of this size is  

[tex]\mu=np=300\cdot 0.18=54[/tex]  

The standard deviation is  

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300\cdot 0.18\cdot 0.82}=6.6543[/tex]  

(b)  

Let Y is a random variable that shows the number of people in the sample who will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks. Here Y has a binomial distribution with parameters n= 300 and p=0.82. So mean of Y is  

[tex]\mu=np=300\cdot 0.82=246\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300\cdot 0.18\cdot 0.82}=6.6543[/tex]  

Here sample size is large and np and n(1-p) are both greater than 30. So we can use a normal approximation of binomial distribution. z-score for Y = 234.5 (using continuity correction) is

[tex]z=\frac{Y-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{234.5-246}{6.6543}=-1.73[/tex]  

So the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks is  

[tex]P(Y\geq 235)=P(Y\geq 234.5)=P(z\geq -1.73)=0.9582[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

a) Median Height = 66 inches

b) Range of Heights = 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The median in a box-and-whisker plot is the second quartile, located between the first and third quartiles indicated by the dashed line. Therefore, the median height is 66 inches.

b) The range in a box-and-whisker plot uses the same process of finding the range of a set of data. You find the difference between the maximum and the minimum values of the data. Therefore, the range of heights is 77 - 59 = 18 inches.

The fuel efficiency (mpg rating) for cars has been increasing steadily since 1980. The formula for a car's fuel efficiency for a given year between 1980 and 1996 is E 0.36x + 15.9 where E is miles per gallon and z is the number of years after 1980. Note: Round your answers down to get the corresponding year. For instance, at 3.25, the year is 1983 .
a. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars less than 17 mpg (in interval form)?
b. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars more than 20 mpg (in interval form)?

Answers

Answer:

a) In the interval of [1980,1983].

b) In the interval of [1991, 1996].

Step-by-step explanation:

Fuel efficiency:

The fuel efficiency, for the cars, in x years after 1980, is given by:

[tex]E(x) = 0.36x + 15.9[/tex]

15.9 is the fuel efficiency in 1980.

a. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars less than 17 mpg (in interval form)?

From 1980 to:

[tex]E(x) < 17[/tex]

[tex]0.36x + 15.9 < 17[/tex]

[tex]0.36x < 1.1[/tex]

[tex]x < \frac{1.1}{0.36}[/tex]

[tex]x < 3.06[/tex]

3.06 = 1980 + 3 = 1983. So

In the interval of [1980,1983].

b. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars more than 20 mpg (in interval form)?

From x until 1996.

[tex]E(x) > 20[/tex]

[tex]0.36x + 15.9 > 20[/tex]

[tex]0.36x > 4.1[/tex]

[tex]x > \frac{4.1}{0.36}[/tex]

[tex]x > 11.38[/tex]

11.38 = 1980 + 11 = 1991. So

In the interval of [1991, 1996].

Problem 5

Answer:   6i

------------------

Explanation:

We have these four identities

i^0 = 1i^1 = ii^2 = -1i^3 = -i

Notice how computing i^4 leads us back to 1. So i^4 = i^0. The pattern repeats every 4 terms. So we divide the exponent by 4 and look at the remainder. We ignore the quotient entirely. We can see that 28/4 = 7 remainder 0. Meaning that i^28 = i^0 = 1.

We can think of it like this if you wanted

i^28 = (i^4)^7 = 1^7 = 1

Then the sqrt(-36) becomes 6i

So overall, we end up with the final answer of 6i

=============================================

Problem 6

Answer:  -3i

------------------

Explanation:

We'll use the ideas mentioned in problem 5

46/4 = 11 remainder 2

i^46 = i^2 = -1

sqrt(-9) = 3i

The two outside negative signs cancel out, but there's still a negative from -1 we found earlier. So we end up with -3i

In other words, here is one way you could write out the steps

[tex]-i^{46}*-\sqrt{-9}\\\\-i^{2}*-3i\\\\i^{2}*3i\\\\-1*3i\\\\-3i\\\\[/tex]

=============================================

Problem 7

Answer:   -1

------------------

Work Shown:

i^10 = i^2 because 10/4 = 2 remainder 2

i^19 = i^3 because 19/4 = 4 remainder 3

i^7 = i^3 because 7/4 = 1 remainder 3

Again, all we care about are the remainders.

[tex]i^{10}+i^{19} - i^{7}\\\\i^{2}+i^{3} - i^{3}\\\\i^{2}\\\\-1[/tex]

=============================================

Problem 8

Answer:    -1 + i

------------------

Work Shown:

i^22*i^6 = i^(22+6) = i^28

Earlier in problem 5, we found that i^28 = i^0 = 1

So,

[tex]i^1 - \left(i^{22}*i^{6}\right)\\\\i^1 - i^{28}\\\\i^1 - i^{0}\\\\i - 1\\\\-1+i[/tex]

The number of potholes in any given 1 mile stretch of freeway pavement in Pennsylvania has an approximate normal distribution with mean 50 and a standard deviation 10. Use the Empirical Rule to determine the approximate proportion of 1-mile long roadways with potholes numbering between 20 and 70.

Answers

Answer:

The approximate proportion of 1-mile long roadways with potholes numbering between 20 and 70 is 0.9735.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 50, standard deviation = 10.

Between 20 and 70.

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the measures are below the mean and 50% are above.

20

20 = 50 - 3*10

So 20 is 3 standard deviations below the mean. Of the 50% of the measures below the mean, 99.7% are within 3 standard deviations of the mean, that is, above 20.

70

70 = 50 + 2*10

So 70 is 2 standard deviations above the mean. Of the 50% of the measures above the mean, 95% are within 2 standard deviations of the mean, that is, below 70.

Percentage:

0.997*50% + 0.95*50% = 97.35%

As a proportion, 97.35%/100 = 0.9735.

The approximate proportion of 1-mile long roadways with potholes numbering between 20 and 70 is 0.9735.
