Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

stiffness        frequency

2480             23

2440             35

2400             40

2360             33

2320             21

a) The mean for the population is calculated using the formula:

[tex]mean (\mu)=\frac{\Sigma f_ix_i}{\Sigma f_i} \\=\frac{x_1f_1+x_2f_2+.\ .\ .+x_nf_n}{x_1+x_2+.\ .\ . +x_n} \\=\frac{(2480*23)+(2440*35)+(2400*40)+(2360*33)+(2320*21)}{23+35+40+33+21} =\frac{365040}{152}=2401.6[/tex]

b) The standard deviation is given by:

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{ \frac{\Sigma f_i(x_i-\mu)^2}{\Sigma f_1} } \\=\sqrt{ \frac{f_1(x_1-\mu)^2+f_2(x_2-\mu)^2+.\ .\ .+f_n(x_n-\mu)^2}{f_1+f_2+.\ .\ .+f_n} } \\=\sqrt{ \frac{23(2480-2401.6)^2+35(2440-2401.6)^2+40(2400-2401.6)^2+33(2360-2401.6)^2+21(2320-2401.6)^2}{23+35+40+33+21 }}\\=\sqrt{\frac{390021.12}{152} }= 50.7[/tex]

c) We have to find the z score for x = 2350. The z score is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2350-2401.6}{50.7}=-1.02[/tex]

From the z table:

The probability that stiffness would be less than 2350 for any given channel section = P(x < 2350) = P(z < -1.02) = 0.1539 = 15.39%

Area of Triangle Formula: A = 1/2bh

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step 1: Draw altitude and label numbers

If we draw a line down the middle, we can see that we get a perpendicular bisector and that we get 2 right triangles with a hypotenuse of 29 and a leg of 3. We need to find h using Pythagorean Theorem in order to use area formula:

3² + b² = 29²

b² = 29² - 3²

b = √832 = h

Step 2: Plug in known variables into area formula:

A = 1/2(√832)(6)

A = 3√832

A = 86.5332

Beginning three months from now, you want to be able to withdraw $2,300 each quarter from your back account to cover college expenses over the next four years. If the account pays .45 percent interest per quarter, how much do you need to have in your bank account today to meet your expense needs over the next four years?

Answers

Answer:

  $36,450.46

Step-by-step explanation:

The amortization formula can be used to figure this. For quarterly payment A, the principal invested must be P for interest rate r and compounding n times per year for t years.

  A = P(r/n)/(1 -(1 +r/n)^(-nt))

  2300 = P(0.0045/4)/(1 -(1 +0.0045/4)^(-4·4))

  2300 = P·0.06309934

  P = 2300/0.06309934 = 36450.46

You need $36,450.46 in your account today so that you can withdraw $2300 quarterly for 4 years.

g The p-value of a test is the probability of obtaining a result as or more extreme as the one obtained in the sample, assuming the null hypothesis is false

Answers

Answer:

The p-value is well defined as per the probability, [under the null hypothesis (H₀)], of attaining a result equivalent to or more extreme than what was truly observed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value is well defined as per the probability, [under the null hypothesis (H₀)], of attaining a result equivalent to or more extreme than what was truly observed.

We reject the null hypothesis if the p-value of a statistic is lower than the level of significance α.

And we fail to eject the null hypothesis if the p-value of a statistic is greater than the level of significance α.

A lower p-value indicates that the result is statistically significant.

And a higher p-value indicates that the result is not statistically significant.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! A toy store has 10 stores all about the same size in a city the graph shows sales for one of the stores last month. Which statement is best supported by the information in the graph?

Answers

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

Took the test

Answer: 1/10 of the store's total sales last month were in appliances (lower right corner)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go through the four possible answers

In the upper left corner it says "Total mobile phone sales is likely 27,000" which is a paraphrase of what is given. The chart gives 9000 as the phone sales for that one particular store. If all stores are identical in performance, then we have 4*9000 = 36000 in total mobile phone sales. Of course, it's impossible to know for sure how the other stores did. So we can eliminate this as one of the answers.

In the upper right corner, it says "13% of the stores sales was in car electronics" (also paraphrased). We have 13 thousand in car electronics out of 17+13+6+9+15 = 60 thousand total. Divide the two values: 13/60 = 0.2167 = 21.67% approximately. So we can eliminate this as an answer.

In the lower left corner, it says "the total sales is likely greater than $300,000" but we don't know for sure because again we don't have the other charts for the three other stores. Assuming the four stores perform the same, then we'd have 4*60 = 240 thousand as the total and not 300 thousand. It's safe to say we can eliminate this as an answer.

In the lower right corner, it says "1/10 of the stores sales were appliances". This statement is true. Why? Because 6 thousand is the sales figure for appliances out of 60 thousand total. Divide the values: 6/60 = 1/10. So this is why the lower right corner is the answer.

a*a+ b*b=c*c

900*900+264*264=c*c

c=√879,696

c=938feet

Answer:

938 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve this we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem,

[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex].

So we have a and b which are 900 and 264,

and we need to find c or the walking distance.

So we plug in 900 and 264 for a and b.

[tex](900)^2 + (264)^2 = c^2[/tex]

So, 900*900 = 810,000

264 * 264 = 69696

810000 + 69696 = 879696

So now we have,

879696 = c^2

To get the c by itself we do,

[tex]\sqrt{879696} = \sqrt{c}[/tex]

= c = 937.921105424

c = 938 rounded to the nearest foot

Thus,

the solution is 938.

The mean weight of an adult is 6767 kilograms with a variance of 121121. If 164164 adults are randomly selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would be greater than 64.864.8 kilograms

Answers

Answer:

99.48% probability that the sample mean would be greater than 64.8 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance) [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

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].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

[tex]\mu = 67, \sigma = \sqrt{121} = 11, n = 164, s = \frac{11}{\sqrt{164}} = 0.86[/tex]

What is the probability that the sample mean would be greater than 64.8 kilograms?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 64.8.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{64.8 - 67}{0.86}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.56[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.56[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0052

1 - 0.0052 = 0.9948

99.48% probability that the sample mean would be greater than 64.8 kilograms.

b) 2.96

c) 4.4

d) 1.44

e) 3.76

Step-by-step explanation:

What we will do is solve point by point, knowing the following:

Fx (x) = P (X <= x) = (x - 1) / 4

a) P (X <-a) = 0.95

Fx (a) = 0.95

(a -1) / 4 = 0.95

a = 1 + 0.95 * 4

a = 4.8

b) P (X <a) = 0.49

Fx (a) = 0.49

(a -1) / 4 = 0.49

a = 1 + 0.49 * 4

a = 2.96

c) P (X <a) = 0.85

Fx (a) = 0.85

(a -1) / 4 = 0.55

a = 1 + 0.85 * 4

a = 4.4

d) P (X> a) = 0.89

P (X <a) = 1 - 0.89 = 0.11

Fx (a) = 0.11

(a -1) / 4 = 0.11

a = 1 + 0.11 * 4

a = 1.44

e) P (X> a) = 0.31

P (X <a) = 1 - 0.31 = 0.69

Fx (a) = 0.69

(a -1) / 4 = 0.69

a = 1 + 0.69 * 4

a = 3.76

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]

Rounding up

A sample of 385 is needed.

Peter is buying office supplies. He is able to buy 3 packages of paper and 4 staplers for $40, or he is able to buy 5 packages of paper and 6 staplers for $62. How much does a package of paper cost? How much does a stapler cost?

Answers

Answer:

paper = $4 and stapler = $7

Step-by-step explanation:

let p represent paper and s represent stapler, then

3p + 4s = 40 → (1)

5p + 6s = 62 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 5 and (2) by - 3 and adding will eliminate p

15p + 20s = 200 → (3)

- 15p - 18s = - 186 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate p

2s = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

s = 7

Substitute s = 7 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for p

Substituting into (1)

3p + 4(7) = 40

3p + 28 = 40 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

3p = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

p = 4

Thus package of paper costs $4 and stapler costs $7
