Rebecca collected data from a random sample of 500 homeowners in her state asking whether or not they use electric heat. Based on the results, she reports that 51% of the homeowners in the nation use electric heat. Why is this statistic misleading?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

She makes conclusion about a population that is not well represented by the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conclusion she is making is about a population that is not well represented by her sample: the population is the homeowners in the nation, but the sample is made of homeowners or only her state.

The population about which she can make conclusions with this sample is the homeowners of her state, given that the sampling is done right.

Find the measure of each angle: Supplementary angles with measures (2x+3)° and (3x+2)°.

Answers

Answer: 73 degrees and 107 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of supplementary angles are 180 degrees. So you add 2x+3 and 3x+2. Then you get 5x+5=180.

Subtract 5 from both sides. Now the equation is 5x=175.

Divide 5 on each side. x=35

Replace x with 35 in the equations. The angles are 73 and 107.

They both add up to 180 degrees so it is correct.

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

[tex]4+4\times \text{log}_2(x)=14[/tex]

By subtracting 4 from both the sides of the equation.

[tex]4\times \text{log}_2(x)=14-4[/tex]

Suppose that early in an election campaign, a telephone poll of 800 registered voters shows that 460 favor a particular candidate. Just before Election Day, a second poll shows that 520 of 1,000 registered voters now favor that candidate. At the 0.05 significance level, is there sufficient evidence that the candidate's popularity has changed?

Answers

Answer:

Yes. At the 0.05 significance level, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion that support the candidate has significantly changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the proportion that support the candidate has significantly changed.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2\neq 0[/tex]

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1, of size n1=800 has a proportion of p1=0.58.

[tex]p_1=X_1/n_1=460/800=0.58[/tex]

The sample 2, of size n2=1000 has a proportion of p2=0.52.

[tex]p_2=X_2/n_2=520/1000=0.52[/tex]

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.05.

[tex]p_d=p_1-p_2=0.58-0.52=0.05[/tex]

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

[tex]p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{464+520}{800+1000}=\dfrac{980}{1800}=0.54[/tex]

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

[tex]s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.54*0.46}{800}+\dfrac{0.54*0.46}{1000}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.00031+0.000248}=\sqrt{0.000558}=0.02[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

[tex]z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.05-0}{0.02}=\dfrac{0.05}{0.02}=2.33[/tex]

This test is a two-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

[tex]\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(z>2.33)=0.02[/tex]

As the P-value (0.02) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion that support the candidate has significantly changed.

Beverly drove from the Atlantic City to New York she drove 284 miles at a constant speed of 58 mph how long did it take Beverly to complete the trip

Answers

Answer:

4.9 hours = 4 hours 54 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance/time

time * speed = distance

time = distance/speed

time = (284 miles)/(58 mph) = 4.9 hours

4.9 hours - 4 hours = 0.9 hours

0.9 hours * (60 minutes)/(1 hour) = 54 minutes

4.9 hours = 4 hours 54 minutes

3. A plane travels at a constant speed. It takes 6 hours to travel 3,360 miles. (20 points)
a. What is the plane's speed in miles per hour?
b. At this rate, how many miles can it travel in 10 hours?​

Answers

Answer:

a. The plane's speed in mph is 560

b. At this rate, the plane can travel 5,600 miles in 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the planes speed in mph, some simple arithmetic must be done and you should divide 3,360 by 6.   Now that you have determined that 3,360/6 equals 560, you know that in order to figure out how many miles the plane can travel in 10 hours, all you must do is multiply 560 by 10 which equals 5,600.

Answer:

A. 560B. 5,600

Step-by-step explanation:

A. = 3,360 / 6 = 560B. = 560 x 10 = 5,600

Total cards in a deck = 52

Total number of ways of choosing 8 cards out of 52 = [tex]^{52}C_8[/tex]

m∠A = 17 degrees       m∠B = 73 degrees     m∠C = 90 (given)    a =   12 (given)    b =  40           c = 42 (given)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use sin to solve m∠A

sin x = 12/42     Simplify

sin x = 0.2857   Use the negative sin to solve for x

sin^-1 x =  17 degrees

Add together all of the angle measures to solve for m∠B

17 + 90 + x = 180    Add

107 + x = 180

-107        -107

x = 73 degrees

Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for b

12^2 + x^2 = 42^2     Simplify

144 + x^2 = 1764

-144            -144

x^2 = 1620               Take the square root of both sides

A triangle with side lengths of 4 , 5 , 6 , what are the measures of it angles to the nearest degree ?

Answers

Answer:

  41°, 56°, 83°

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the largest angle from the law of cosines:

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

  C = arccos((a² +b² -c²)/(2ab))

  C = arccos((4² +5² -6²)/(2(4)(5))) = arccos(5/40) ≈ 82.8192°

Then the second-largest angle can be found the same way:

  B = arccos((4² +6² -5²)/(2·4·6)) = arccos(27/48) ≈ 55.7711°

Of course the third angle is the difference between the sum of these and 180°:

  A = 180° -82.8192° -55.7711° = 41.4096°

Rounded to the nearest degree, ...

  the angles of the triangle are 41°, 56°, 83°.

What is the equation of the line which passes through (-0.5,-5) and (2,5)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = 4x-3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates are (-0.5,-5) and (2,5)

Finding the slope, m:

=> Slope = [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

=> Slope = [tex]\frac{5+5}{2+0.5}[/tex]

=> Slope = [tex]\frac{10}{2.5}[/tex]

=> Slope = 4

Now, y-intercept, b:

Taking any of the two coordinate and putting it in the slope intercept equation:

=> Point = (x,y) = (2,5)

So, x = 2, y = 5

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

=> 5 = (4)(2) + b

=> 5 = 8 + b

=> b = 5-8

=> b = -3

Now, Putting in slope intercept equation:

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

=> [tex]y = 4x-3[/tex]

Gradient (m) = x2-x1

y2-y1

considering

y1 = -5 y2 = 5

x1 = -0.5. x2 = 2

m = 2-(-0.5)

5-(-5)

m = 5.5

10

m = 11. = 0.55

20

equation of a line is given by

y-y1 = m+(x-x1)

y-(-5) =0.55 + {x-(-0.5)}

y+5 = 0.55 + x+0.5

making y the subject

y = 0.55 +0.5 -5 + x

y = -3.95 + x

A ship traveled at an average rate of 25 miles per hour going west. It then traveled at an average rate of 19 miles per hour heading north. If the ship traveled a total of 145 miles in 7 hours, how many miles were traveled heading west?

Answers

Answer:

50 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

let's note x the number of miles travelled heading west,

it takes 1 hour to travel 25 miles

so it takes x/25 hours to travel x miles

we know that in total it travels 7 hours so it will travel 7-x/25 hours heading North, then heading North it takes 1 hour to travel 19 miles

so in 7-x/25 hours it travels 19(7-x/25) miles

we can write, as the total distance is 145 miles

[tex]x+19(7-\dfrac{x}{25})=145\\<=> 25x+3325-19x=3625\\<=> 6x=300\\<=> x = 50[/tex]

we can verify

50 miles heading West takes 2 hours

in 5 hours it travels 19*5 = 95 miles

the total is 145 miles

so this is correct

Solve the system of equations for the variables: 5x+2y=13 x+2y=9

Answers

Answer:

x = 1

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = 13

x + 2y = 9

Add both equations.

6x + 4y = 22

Solve for x.

6x = 22 - 4y

x = 22/6 - 4/6y

Put x as 22/6 - 4/6y in the second equation and solve for y.

22/6 - 4/6y + 2y = 9

-4/6y + 2y = 9 - 22/6

4/3y = 16/3

y = 16/3 × 3/4

y = 48/12

y = 4

Put y as 4 in the first equation and solve for x.

5x + 2(4) = 13

5x + 8 = 13

5x = 13 - 8

5x = 5

x = 5/5

x = 1

Answer:

x = 1, y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+2y = 13

x+2y = 9

Subtracting both equations

=> 5x+2y-x-2y = 13-9

=> 4x = 4

=> x = 1

Now, Putting x = 1 in the first equation

=> 5(1)+2y = 13

=> 2y = 13-5

=> 2y = 8

=> y = 4

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population proportion p.

n = 130
x = 69; 90% confidence

a. 0.463 < p < 0.599
b. 0.458 < p < 0.604
c. 0.461 < p < 0.601
d. 0.459 < p < 0.603

Answers

Answer:

d. 0.459 < p < 0.603

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.531.

[tex]p=X/n=69/130=0.531[/tex]

The standard error of the proportion is:

[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.531*0.469}{130}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001916}=0.044[/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 0.044=0.072[/tex]

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

[tex]LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.531-0.072=0.459\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.531+0.072=0.603[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.459, 0.603).
