x is 9.936 because logs can't be negative
Construct 3 linear equation starting with qiven solution z = 1/3
Answer:
(a)[tex]9z+2=5[/tex]
(b)[tex]21z-11=-4[/tex]
(c)[tex]4z=2-2z[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are required to construct 3 linear equations starting with the given solution z = 1/3.
Equation 1
[tex]z=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 9
[tex]9z=\frac{1}{3}\times 9\\9z=3[/tex]
Rewrite 3 as 5-2
9z=5-2
Add 2 to both sides
Our first equation is: [tex]9z+2=5[/tex]
Equation 2
[tex]z=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 21
[tex]21z=\frac{1}{3}\times 21\\21z=7[/tex]
Rewrite 7 as 11-4
21z=11-4
Subtract 11 from both sides
Our second equation is: [tex]21z-11=-4[/tex]
Equation 3
[tex]z=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 6
[tex]6z=\frac{1}{3}\times 6\\6z=2[/tex]
Rewrite 6z as 4z+2z
4z+2z=2
Subtract 2z from both sides
Our third equation is: [tex]4z=2-2z[/tex]

An efficiency expert hired by a manufacturing firm has compiled these data relating workers output to their experience:
Experience t (months) 0 3
Output Q (units per hour) 200 190
Suppose output Q Is related to experience t by a function of the form Q (t) = 300 - A e^-kt. Find the function of this form that fits the data.
Answer:
Q(t) = 300 - 100e^0.0318tStep-by-step explanation:
Given the relationship between the output as related to the experience t to be Q (t) = 300 - A e^-kt.
From the table, at t = 0, Q(t) = 200, substituting this into he equation to get A we have:
200 = 300 - A e^-k(0).
200 = 300 - A e^-0
200 = 300 - A
A = 300-200
A = 100
Secondly we need to get the constant k by substituting the other condition into the equation. When t = 3, Q(t) = 190
190 = 300 - A e^-k(3)
190 = 300 - 100e^-3k
190-300 = -100e^-3k
-110 = -100e^-3k
e^-3k = -110/-100
e^-3k = 1.1
Taking the natural logarithm of both sides we have;
ln(e^-3k) = ln1.1
-3k = 0.09531
k = 0.09531/-3
k = -0.0318
The function of this form that fits the data can be gotten by substituting A = 100 and k = -0.0318 into the modeled equation given as shown:
Q(t) = 300 - A e^-kt
Q(t) = 300 - 100e^-(-0.0318)t
Q(t) = 300 - 100e^0.0318t

Compute the critical value z Subscript alpha divided by 2 that corresponds to a 86% level of confidence.
Answer:
z = 1.476
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.86}{2} = 0.07[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].
So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.07 = 0.93[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.476[/tex]
The answer is z = 1.476
Mrs. Lang is 4 times as old as her daughter Jill. The sum of their ages is 60 years. Set up the two equations that can be used to find each of their ages. Constraint 1: The solution must satisfy the ratio of their ages. Constraint 2: The solution must satisfy the sum of their ages. Only constraint would be met if Mrs. Lang is 32 and Jill is 8. Only constraint would be met if Mrs. Lang is 45 and Jill is 15.
Answer:
The two equations that can be used to find each of their ages are [tex]x=4 \times y[/tex] and [tex]x+y=60[/tex] .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Mrs. Lang is 4 times as old as her daughter Jill. The sum of their ages is 60 years.
Let the age of Mrs. Lang be 'x years' and the age of her daughter Jill be 'y years'.
Now, according to the question;
The first condition states that Mrs. Lang is 4 times as old as her daughter Jill, that means;[tex]x=4 \times y[/tex] ----------------- [equation 1]
The second condition states that the sum of their ages is 60 years, that means;[tex]x+y=60[/tex]
[tex]4y + y = 60[/tex] {using equation 1}
[tex]5y=60[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{60}{5}[/tex]
y = 12 years
Now, putting the value of y in equation 1 we get;
[tex]x=4 \times y[/tex]
[tex]x= 4 \times 12[/tex] = 48 years
Hence, the age of Mrs. Lang is 48 years and her daughter Jill is 12 years old.
Answer:
Mrs. Lang is 48 and her daughter is 12 years old.

The dose of a drug is 0.05 mg for each kg of a patient’s weight.The Drug is available as an oral liquid containing 50 mcg/0.1 ml.Calculate the dose of the oral liquid in ml for a patient who weighs 132 lb
Answer:
6 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a matter of units conversion.
volume = (mass) × (dose/mass) ÷ (dose/volume)
(132 lb)/(2.2 kg/lb) × (0.05 mg/kg) / (0.05 mg/0.1 mL) = 6 mL
How does changing the maximum value affect the range? A. The range is greatly affected by this change. B. The range of a data set depends on the number of data, not the specific values. Therefore, the range does not vary by changing the maximum value. C. The range becomes more accurate when the maximum value is an outlier. D. The change in the range is low and insignificant.
Answer:
The correct option is (A).
Step-by-step explanation:
The range of a data set is a measure of variability of that data set.
The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum value of the set.
[tex]\text{Range}=\text{Maximum}-\text{Minimum}[/tex]
Since the maximum value is used in the computation of range, changing the maximum value affects the range greatly.
The correct option is (A).
What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (12, -2)? A) y = -6/5x + 10 B) y= -6/5x + 12 C) y = -5/6x -10 D) y = 5/6x - 12
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines are those that have the same slope, or coefficient of x.
Here, let's calculate the slope of the given line. Slope is the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates, so given the two coordinates (12, 6) and (0, -4):
slope = m = (-4 - 6) / (0 - 12) = -10 / (-12) = 10/12 = 5/6
So the slope is 5/6. That means the equation we want should also have a slope of 5/6. Already, we can eliminate A, B, and C, leaving D as our answer. But, let's check.
The equation of a line can be written as [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where m is the slope and [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is the coordinates of a given point.
Here, our slope is 5/6 and our given point is (12, -2). So plug these in:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
[tex]y-(-2)=(5/6)(x-12)[/tex]
[tex]y+2=\frac{5}{6} x-10[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{5}{6} x-12[/tex]
This matches D, so we know that it's the correct answer.

An object of mass 2kg is attached to a spring. A force of 5nt is applied to move the object 0.5m from its equilibrium position. The damping force of the object sliding on the table is int when the velocity is 0.25m/second. The object is pulled to the left until the spring is stretched lm and then released with the initial velocity of 2m/second to the right.
Set up an I.V.P. to describe the motion of the object and solve it, then state the amplitude function of the motion.
Answer:
[tex]\mathbf{x(t) = \dfrac{ \sqrt 5}{2}e^{-t} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
mass of the object = 2 kg
A force of 5nt is applied to move the object 0.5m from its equilibrium position.
i.e
Force = 5 newton
Stretchin (x) =0.5 m
Damping force = 1 newton
Velocity = 0.25 m/second
The object is pulled to the left until the spring is stretched lm and then released with the initial velocity of 2m/second to the right
SOLUTION:
If F = kx
Then :
5 N = k(0.5 m)
where ;
k = spring constant.
k = 5 N/0.5 m
k = 10 N/m
the damping force of the object sliding on the table is 1 newton when the velocity is 0.25m/second.
SO;
[tex]C \dfrac{dx}{dt}= F_d[/tex]
[tex]C* 0.25 = 1[/tex]
C = [tex]\dfrac{1 \ N }{0.25 \ m/s}[/tex]
C = 4 Ns/m
NOW;
[tex]m \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}+ C \dfrac{dx}{dt}+ kx = 0[/tex]
Divide through by m; we have;
[tex]\dfrac{m}{m}\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}+ \dfrac{C}{m} \dfrac{dx}{dt}+ \dfrac{k}{m} x= 0[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}+ \dfrac{C}{m} \dfrac{dx}{dt}+\dfrac{k}{m}x= 0[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}+ \dfrac{4}{2} \dfrac{dx}{dt}+\dfrac{10}{2}x= 0[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}+ 2 \dfrac{dx}{dt}+5x= 0[/tex]
we all know that:
[tex]x(t) = Ae^{(\alpha \ t)}[/tex] ------ (1)
SO;
[tex]\alpha ^2 + 2\alpha + 5 = 0[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = \dfrac{-2 \pm \sqrt{(4)-(4*5)}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = -1 \pm 2i[/tex]
Thus ;
[tex]x(t) = e^{-t}[A \sin (2t)+ B cos (2t)][/tex] ------------ (1)
However;
[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt} = e^{-t}[A \sin (2t)+ B cos (2t)]+ 2e ^{-t} [A \cos (2t)- B \ Sin (2t)][/tex] ------- (2)
From the question ; we are being told that;
The object is pulled to the left until the spring is stretched 1 m and then released with the initial velocity of 2m/second to the right.
So ;
[tex]x(0) = -1 \ m[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt}|_{t=0} = 2 \ m/s[/tex]
x(0) ⇒ B = -1
[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt}|_{t=0} =- B +2A[/tex]
[tex]=- 1 +2A[/tex]
1 = 2A
A = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
From (1)
[tex]x(t) = e^{-t}[A \sin (2t)+ B cos (2t)][/tex]
[tex]x(t) = e^{-t}[\dfrac{1}{2} \sin (2t)+ (-1) cos (2t)][/tex]
[tex]x(t) = e^{-t}[\dfrac{1}{2} \sin (2t)-cos (2t)][/tex]
Assuming;
[tex]A cos \ \phi = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]A sin \ \phi = 1[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]A = \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}+1}[/tex]
[tex]A = \sqrt{\dfrac{1+4}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]A = \sqrt{\dfrac{5}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]A ={ \dfrac{ \sqrt5}{ \sqrt4}}[/tex]
[tex]A ={ \dfrac{ \sqrt5}{ 2}}[/tex]
where;
[tex]\phi = tan ^{-1} (2)[/tex]
Therefore;
[tex]x(t) = \dfrac{\sqrt 5}{2}e^{-t} \ sin (2 t - \phi)[/tex]
From above ; the amplitude is ;
[tex]\mathbf{x(t) = \dfrac{ \sqrt 5}{2}e^{-t} }[/tex]
P-value test and Ctitical Value test are identical. P-value and Critical value are two different names for the same steps. They can be used interchangeably.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
Option B - False
Step-by-step explanation:
Critical value is a point beyond which we normally reject the null hypothesis. Whereas, P-value is defined as the probability to the right of respective statistic which could either be Z, T or chi. Now, the benefit of using p-value is that it calculates a probability estimate which we will be able to test at any level of significance by comparing the probability directly with the significance level.
For example, let's assume that the Z-value for a particular experiment is 1.67, which will be greater than the critical value at 5% which will be 1.64. Thus, if we want to check for a different significance level of 1%, we will need to calculate a new critical value.
Whereas, if we calculate the p-value for say 1.67, it will give a value of about 0.047. This p-value can be used to reject the hypothesis at 5% significance level since 0.047 < 0.05. But with a significance level of 1%, the hypothesis can be accepted since 0.047 > 0.01.
Thus, it's clear critical values are different from P-values and they can't be used interchangeably.

d =
Answer:
The test statistic value is, t = -5.245.
The effect size using estimated Cohen's d is 2.35.
Step-by-step explanation:
A paired t-test would be used to determine whether the remedial tutoring has been effective for the statistics tutor's five students.
The hypothesis can be defined as follows:
H₀: The remedial tutoring has not been effective, i.e. d = 0.
Hₐ: The remedial tutoring has been effective, i.e. d > 0.
Use Excel to perform the Paired t test.
Go to Data → Data Analysis → t-test: Paired Two Sample Means
A dialog box will open.
Select the values of the variables accordingly.
The Excel output is attached below.
The test statistic value is, t = -5.245.
Compute the effect size using estimated Cohen's d as follows:
[tex]\text{Cohen's d}=\frac{Mean_{d}}{SD_{d}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{0.54}{0.23022}\\\\=2.34558\\\\\approx 2.35[/tex]
Thus, the effect size using estimated Cohen's d is 2.35.
A new fertilizer was applied to the soil of 146 bean plants. 23% showed increased growth. Find the margin of error and 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all bean plants which show increased growth after application of the fertilizer. Round all answers to 2 decimal places.
Answer:
The significance level for this case would be [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and the critical value for this case would be:
[tex] z_{\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]
The margin of error is given by:
[tex] ME = z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] ME = 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.23*(1-0.23)}{146}} =0.0683[/tex]
And the margin of error for this case would be [tex] ME = 0.07[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following dataset given:
[tex] n= 146[/tex] represent the sample size
[tex] \hat p =0.23[/tex] represent the estimated proportion of interest
[tex] Conf=0.95[/tex] represent the confidence level
The significance level for this case would be [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and the critical value for this case would be:
[tex] z_{\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]
The margin of error is given by:
[tex] ME = z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] ME = 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.23*(1-0.23)}{146}} =0.0683[/tex]
And the margin of error for this case would be [tex] ME = 0.07[/tex]

A school is 16km due west of a school q.
What is the bearing of q from p?
Answer:
16 km due west
Step-by-step explanation:
The bearing of the school p from school q is 16 km due west.
To find the bearing of school q from school p, we have to find the direction that the school q is with respect to school p.
Since p is directly west of q, then it implies that q must be directly east of p.
We now know the direction.
Since the distance from q to p is exactly the same as the distance from p to q, then, the distance from p to q is 16 km.
Hence, the bearing of q from p is 16 km due west.

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line −2x+5y=−30.
Answer:
slope = 2/5 , y-intercept = -30
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x + 5y = -30
5y = 2x - 30
y = 2/5x - 6
we know that the general form is:
y = (slope)*x + (y- intercept)
so, from our equation, we can say that...
slope = 2/5
y- intercept = -30
The given equation has been solved in the table.
The closest we get is the addition property, which was used in step 2. This is a fairly similar idea because subtraction is effectively adding on a negative number. Example: 5-7 = 5+(-7). Though because your teacher is making a distinction between addition property of equality and subtraction property of equality, it's safe to say that the subtraction property is not used.
A(2,9), B(4,k), and C(9, -12) are 3 collinear points.
Find the value of k.
==========================================================
Explanation:
We're going to be using the slope formula a bunch of times.
Find the slope of the line through points A and C
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-12-9)/(9-2)
m = -21/7
m = -3
The slope of line AC is -3. The slopes of line AB and line BC must also be the same for points A,B,C to be collinear. The term collinear means all three points fall on the same straight line.
-------
Let's find the expression for the slope of line AB in terms of k
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (k-9)/(4-2)
m = (k-9)/2
Set this equal to the desired slope -3 and solve for k
(k-9)/2 = -3
k-9 = 2*(-3) ..... multiply both sides by 2
k-9 = -6
k = -6+9 .... add 9 to both sides
k = 3
If k = 3, then B(4,k) updates to B(4,3)
-------
Let's find the slope of the line through A(2,9) and B(4,3)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3-9)/(4-2)
m = -6/2
m = -3 we get the proper slope value
Finally let's check to see if line BC also has slope -3
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-12-3)/(9-4)
m = -15/5
m = -3 we get the same value as well
Since we have found lines AB, BC and AC all have slope -3, we have proven that A,B,C fall on the same straight line. Therefore, this shows A,B,C are collinear.
A respiratory therapist predicts that the proportion of U.S. college students who smoke hookah is greater than 30%. To test this prediction, she surveys 300 random U.S. college, and it is determined that 80 of them smoke hookah. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: H0:p=0.30 H0:p>0.30 The p-value for this hypothesis test is 0.10. At the 5% significance level, should she reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Select the correct answer below: Reject the null hypothesis because 0.30>0.05. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because 0.30>0.05. Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is less than the significance level α=0.05. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is more than the significance level α=0.05.
Answer:
Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is more than the significance level α=0.05.
Step-by-step explanation:
The significant level for this case study is 5% - 0.05. If the results gotten is less than the significance level, we reject the null hypothesis, but if greater, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
In this case study, the p-value is 0.10 which is a lot higher than 0.05, thus we will fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value =0.10 is more than the significance level α=0.05.

Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
When two lines are parallel, their slopes are the same.
Since the slope of line l is 2/7, the slope of its parallel line m must also be 2/7.
The answer is C.
Answer:
C. 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines are lines that have the same slopes.
We know that line l is parallel to line m.
Therefore, the slope of line l is equal to the slope of line m.
[tex]m_{l} =m_{m}[/tex]
We know that line l has a slope of 2/7.
[tex]\frac{2}{7} =m_{m}[/tex]
So, line m also has a slope of 2/7. The answer is C. 2/7

A random sample has been taken from a normal distribution and the following confidence intervals constructed using the same data: (25.53, 37.87) and (23.59, 39.81). One of these intervals is a 99% CI and the other is a 95% CI. Please match them.
Answer:
(25.53, 37.87): 95% CI
(23.59, 39.81): 99% CI
Step-by-step explanation:
The margin of error of a confidence interval is given by:
[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
z is related to the confidence level. The higher the confidence level, the higher the values of z, and thus, we wider the confidence interval is.
In this question:
The narrower C.I. is the 95%, and the wider is the 99%. So
(25.53, 37.87): 95% CI
(23.59, 39.81): 99% CI
If Brooklyn College students have an IQ of 100, on average, with a standard deviation of 16 points, and I collect 48 BC Psychology students to see how Psych majors compare to all of BC, find the following:_______.
1. mu =
2. sigma =
3. mu _x bar =
4. sigma _x bar =
Answer:
1 [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]
2 [tex]\sigma = 16[/tex]
3 [tex]\mu_x = 100[/tex]
4 [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = 2.309[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 16[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\mu_x = 100[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 48[/tex]
The mean standard deviation is [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma _{\= x } = \frac{16 }{\sqrt{48} }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma _{\= x } = 2.309[/tex]
