Answer:
0.007
Step-by-step explanation:
We were told in the above question that a random sample of 51 households is monitored for one year to determine aluminum usage
Step 1
We would have to find the sample standard deviation.
We use the formula = σ/√n
σ = 12.2 pounds
n = number of house holds = 51
= 12.2/√51
Sample Standard deviation = 1.7083417025.
Step 2
We find the z score for when the sample mean is more than 61
z-score formula is z = (x-μ)/σ
where:
x = raw score = 61 pounds
μ = the population mean = 56.8 pounds
σ = the sample standard deviation = 1.7083417025
z = (x-μ)/σ
z = (61 - 56.8)/ 1.7083417025
z = 2.45852
Finding the Probability using the z score table
P(z = 2.45852) = 0.99302
P(x>61) = 1 - P(z = 2.45852) = 0.0069755
≈ 0.007
Therefore,the probability that the sample mean will be more than 61 pounds is 0.007

For each ordered pair, determine whether it is a solution to the system of equations. y=6x-7 9x-2y=8
Answer:
x = 2, y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
y=6x-7
9x-2y=8
can be written as
(1) 6x - y = 7
(2) 9x -2y = 8
(2)-2*(1) gives
9x -2y -12x +2y = 8 - 2*7 = 8 - 14 = -6
<=> -3x=-6
<=> x = 6/3=2
and we replace it in (1)
y = 6*2-7=12-7=5

HELP ASAP! The number of entertainment websites in 1995 wass 54. By 2004 there were 793 entertainment website..
Approximately, what was the rate of change for the number of the websites for this time period??
=============================================================
How I got that answer:
We have gone from 54 websites to 793 websites. This is a change of 793-54 = 739 new websites. This is over a timespan of 2004-1995 = 9 years.
Since we have 739 new websites over the course of 9 years, this means the rate of change is 739/9 = 82.1111... where the '1's go on forever. Rounding to the nearest whole number gets us roughly 82 websites a year.
----------
You could use the slope formula to get the job done. This is because the slope represents the rise over run
slope = rise/run
The rise is how much the number of websites have gone up or down. The run is the amount of time that has passed by. So slope = rise/run = 739/9 = 82.111...
In a more written out way, the steps would be
slope = rise/run
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope = (793 - 54)/(2004 - 1995)
slope = 739/9
slope = 82.111....
You want to put a 2 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 14 ft by 26 ft garden. The dirt store sells by the cubic yards. How many cubic yards will you need to order? The store only sells in increments of 1/4 cubic yards.
Answer:
2 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of soil needed is ...
(14/3 yd)(26/3 yd)(2/36 yd) = 728/324 yd³ = 2.247 yd³
The nearest higher quarter-yard is 2.250 yd³. That's how much you need to order.
You need to order 2 1/4 cubic yards.

. The client was hoping for a likability score of at least 5.2. Use your sample mean and standard deviation identified in the answer to question 1 to complete the following table for the margins of error and confidence intervals at different confidence levels. Note: No further calculations are needed for the sample mean. (6 points: 2 points for each completed row) Confidence Level | Margin of error | Center interval | upper interval | Lower interval 68 95 99.7
Answer:
The 68% confidence interval is (6.3, 6.7).
The 95% confidence interval is (6.1, 6.9).
The 99.7% confidence interval is (5.9, 7.1).
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central Limit Theorem states that if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take appropriately huge random-samples (n ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample-means will be approximately normally distributed.
Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,
[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\bar x[/tex]
And the standard deviation of the sample means (also known as the standard error)is given by,
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \ \text{or}\ \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
The information provided is:
[tex]n=400\\\\\bar x=6.5\\\\s=4[/tex]
As n = 400 > 30, the sampling distribution of the sample-means will be approximately normally distributed.
(a)
Compute the 68% confidence interval for population mean as follows:
[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]=6.5\pm 0.9945\cdot \frac{4}{\sqrt{400}}\\\\=6.5\pm 0.1989\\\\=(6.3011, 6.6989)\\\\\approx (6.3, 6.7)[/tex]
The 68% confidence interval is (6.3, 6.7).
The margin of error is:
[tex]MOE=\frac{UL-LL}{2}=\frac{6.7-6.3}{2}=0.20[/tex]
(b)
Compute the 95% confidence interval for population mean as follows:
[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]=6.5\pm 1.96\cdot \frac{4}{\sqrt{400}}\\\\=6.5\pm 0.392\\\\=(6.108, 6.892)\\\\\approx (6.1, 6.9)[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval is (6.1, 6.9).
The margin of error is:
[tex]MOE=\frac{UL-LL}{2}=\frac{6.9-6.1}{2}=0.40[/tex]
(c)
Compute the 99.7% confidence interval for population mean as follows:
[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]=6.5\pm 0.594\cdot \frac{4}{\sqrt{400}}\\\\=6.5\pm 0.392\\\\=(5.906, 7.094)\\\\\approx (5.9, 7.1)[/tex]
The 99.7% confidence interval is (5.9, 7.1).
The margin of error is:
[tex]MOE=\frac{UL-LL}{2}=\frac{7.1-5.9}{2}=0.55[/tex]
Suppose a random variable X is best described by a uniform probability distribution with range 1 to 5. Find the value of that makes the following probability statements true.
a) P(X <-a)= 0.95
b) P(X
c) P(X
d) P(X ->a)= 0.89
e) P(X >a)= 0.31
Answer:
a) 4.8
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

O 2x - y = -4
O 2x - y = 4
O y = 2x – 4
O y=x-4
Answer:
2x-y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form of a line: Ax+by=c
Use slope intercept form: y=mx+b
slope= 2
y=2x-4
Add 4 to both sides.
y+4=2x
subtract y from both sides.
4=2x-y
Rotate the equation
2x-y=4
Answer:
2x-y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
y=2x-4 is the slope intercept.
y-2x=-4
-2x+y=-4
2x-y=4
What is the complete factorization of x^2+4x-45?
Answer:(x-5)(x+9)
Step-by-step explanation:
You want two numbers that can give you -45 in multiplication and two numbers that can add to 4 and that is -5 and 9.
Answer: (x - 5)(x + 9)
If you have to solve, x=5 or x= -9
Step-by-step explanation: You need two numbers that multiply to be 45.
(could be 3 × 15 or 5 × 9) . The difference between the two factors needs to be 4, the coefficient of the middle term.
9 - 5 =4, so use those. -45 has a negative sign, so one of the factors must be + and the other - Since the 4 has the + sign, the larger factor has to be + so the difference will be positive.
So (x -5)(x + 9) are your factors. You can FOIL to be sure
x × x += x² . x × 9 = 9x . -5 × x = -5x . -5 × 9 = -45 .
Combine the x terms: 9x -5x = +4x
Find the circumference of a circle with a radius of 15 centimeters. Round your answer to the nearest centimeter
Answer:
94 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for finding the circumference of a circle is;
Circumference = 2πr
where π = [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] or 3.14 and
r = radius
Here radius is 15 cm so;
Circumference = [tex]2 * \frac{22}{7} * 15[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{660}{7}[/tex]cm
= 94.28cm
= 94 cm ( rounded to the nearest centimetre )
Not sure of how to solve this

Remaining service at original rates = 10920 - 7280 = 3640
Extended service = 3600
3640 + 3600 = $7240
7240 / 3 = $2413

let's follow the advise and proceed with the substitution
first estimate y'(x) and y''(x) in function of y'(t), y''(t) and t
[tex]x(t)=e^t\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}=e^t\\y'(t)=\dfrac{dy}{dt}=\dfrac{dy}{dx}\dfrac{dx}{dt}=e^ty'(x)<=>y'(x)=e^{-t}y'(t)\\y''(x)=\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\dfrac{d}{dx}(e^{-t}\dfrac{dy}{dt})=-e^{-t}\dfrac{dt}{dx}\dfrac{dy}{dt}+e^{-t}\dfrac{d}{dx}(\dfrac{dy}{dt})\\=-e^{-t}e^{-t}\dfrac{dy}{dt}+e^{-t}\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}\dfrac{dt}{dx}=-e^{-2t}\dfrac{dy}{dt}+e^{-t}\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}e^{-t}\\=e^{-2t}(\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}-\dfrac{dy}{dt})[/tex]
Now we can substitute in the equation
[tex]x^2y''(x)+9xy'(x)-20y(x)=0\\<=> e^{2t}[ \ e^{-2t}(\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}-\dfrac{dy}{dt}) \ ] + 9e^t [ \ e^{-t}\dfrac{dy}{dt} \ ] -20y=0\\<=> \dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}-\dfrac{dy}{dt}+ 9\dfrac{dy}{dt}-20y=0\\<=> \dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}+ 8\dfrac{dy}{dt}-20y=0\\[/tex]
so the new equation is

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 47 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (beforeminusafter) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 2.7 and a standard deviation of 17.8. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol?
The 90% confidence interval for the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment is approximately -1.799 to 7.199, suggesting that the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol is not statistically significant.
We have,
To construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment, we can use the formula:
CI = X ± (Z * (σ/√n))
where:
CI is the confidence interval
X is the sample mean
Z is the critical value corresponding to the desired confidence level (90% confidence level corresponds to Z = 1.645 for a large sample size)
σ is the population standard deviation
n is the sample size
Given that the sample mean X of the net change in LDL cholesterol is 2.7, the standard deviation (σ) is 17.8, and the sample size (n) is 47, we can calculate the confidence interval as follows:
CI = 2.7 ± (1.645 * (17.8/√47))
Calculating the standard error (SE):
SE = σ/√n = 17.8/√47 ≈ 2.587
Substituting the values into the confidence interval formula:
CI = 2.7 ± (1.645 * 2.587)
Calculating the upper and lower bounds of the confidence interval:
Upper bound = 2.7 + (1.645 * 2.587) ≈ 7.199
Lower bound = 2.7 - (1.645 * 2.587) ≈ -1.799
Therefore, the 90% confidence interval estimate for the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment is approximately -1.799 to 7.199.
Interpreting the confidence interval:
Since the confidence interval contains both positive and negative values, it suggests that the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol is not statistically significant.
The interval includes zero, indicating that there is a possibility that the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment could be zero (no change).
However, it is important to note that further studies or a larger sample size may be needed to draw more definitive conclusions.
Thus,
The 90% confidence interval for the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment is approximately -1.799 to 7.199, suggesting that the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol is not statistically significant.

CI = 2.7 ± (1.645 * (17.8 / 6.856))
CI = 2.7 ± (1.645 * (2.596))
CI = 2.7 ± 4.270
CI = 2.7 + 4.270 ; CI = 2.7 - 4.270
CI = 6.97 ; CI = -1.57
Thus, the 90% confidence interval estimate for the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment is approximately (-1.57, 6.97).
The confidence interval suggests that the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol is inconclusive. The interval spans both positive and negative values, indicating that the true mean change in LDL cholesterol could be anywhere within this range. Further research or a larger sample size might be needed to draw a more definitive conclusion about the effectiveness of garlic in lowering LDL cholesterol.

Christopher collected data from a random sample of 800 voters in his state asking whether or not they would vote to reelect the current governor. Based on the results, he reports that 54% of the voters in his city would vote to reelect the current governor. Why is this statistic misleading?
Answer:
The statistic is misleading because Christopher collects his sample from a population (voters in his state) and make inferences about another population (voters in his city).
Step-by-step explanation:
The statistic is misleading because Christopher collects his sample from a population (voters in his state) and make inferences about another population (voters in his city).
He should make inferences about the population that is well represented by his sample (voters in his state), or take a sample only from voters from his city to make inferences about them.
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
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]

A music concert is organized at a memorial auditorium. The first row of the auditorium has 16 seats, the second row has 24 seats, the third row has 32 seats, and so on, increasing by 8 seats each row for a total of 50 rows. Find the number of people that can be accommodated in the sixteenth row. (Show work)
Answer: 136
Step-by-step explanation:
An= A1+(n-1)d
A1=16, d=8, and n=16
A16= 16 +(16-1)(8)
A16= 16(15)(8)
A16= 16+120
A16=136
Hey there! :)
Answer:
f(16) = 136 seats.
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation can be expressed as an explicit function where 'n' is the row number.
The question also states that the number of seats increases by 8. Use this in the equation:
f(n) = 16 + 8(n-1)
Solve for the number of seats in the 16th row by plugging in 16 for n:
f(16) = 16 + 8(16-1)
f(16) = 16 + 8(15)
f(16) = 16 + 120
f(16) = 136 seats.
I got the answer but I really don’t know if it’s correct or not, please help this is due today
The lengths of adult males' hands are normally distributed with mean 190 mm and standard deviation is 7.4 mm. Suppose that 45 individuals are randomly chosen. Round all answers to 4 where possible.
What is the distribution of ¯xx¯? ¯xx¯ ~ N(,)
For the group of 45, find the probability that the average hand length is less than 189.
Find the third quartile for the average adult male hand length for this sample size.
For part b), is the assumption that the distribution is normal necessary?
Answer:
a. The distribution of the sample means is normal with mean 190 mm and standard deviation 1.1031 mm.
b. The probability that the average hand length is less than 189 is P(M<189)=0.1823.
c. The third quartile for the average adult male hand length for this sample size is M_75=190.7440.
d. The assumption of normality is not necessary as the sampling distribution will tend to have a bell shaped independently of the population distribution.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a normal distribution, with mean 190 and standard deviation 7.4.
We take samples of size n=45 from this population.
Then, the sample means will have a distribution with the following parameters:
[tex]\mu_s=\mu=190\\\\ \sigma_s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{7.4}{\sqrt{45}}=\dfrac{7.4}{6.7082}=1.1031[/tex]
The probability that the sample mean is less than 189 can be calculated as:
[tex]z=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{189-190}{7.4/\sqrt{45}}=\dfrac{-1}{1.1031}=-0.9065\\\\\\P(M<189)=P(z<-0.9065)=0.1823[/tex]
The third quartile represents the value of the sample where 75% of the data is to the left of this value. It means that:
[tex]P(M<M^*)=0.75[/tex]
The third quartile corresponds to a z-value of z*=0.6745.
[tex]P(z<z^*)=0.75[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the sample mean for the third quartile as:
[tex]M=\mu_s+z^*\sigma_s=190+0.6745\cdot 1.1031=190+0.7440=190.7440[/tex]
The assumption of normality is not necessary as the sampling distribution will tend to have a bell shaped independently of the population distribution.

Show all work to solve 3x^2 – 5x – 2 = 0.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x2−5x−2=0
For this equation: a=3, b=-5, c=-2
3x2+−5x+−2=0
Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=3, b=-5, c=-2.
x= (−b±√b2−4ac )2a
x= (−(−5)±√(−5)2−4(3)(−2) )/2(3)
x= (5±√49 )/6
x=2 or x= −1 /3
Answer:
x=2 or x= −1/ 3
The solutions to the equation are x = -1/3 and x = 2.
Here are the steps on how to solve [tex]3x^{2}[/tex] – 5x – 2 = 0:
First, we need to factor the polynomial. The factors of 3 are 1, 3, and the factors of -2 are -1, 2. The coefficient on the x term is -5, so we need to find two numbers that add up to -5 and multiply to -2. The two numbers -1 and 2 satisfy both conditions, so the factored polynomial is (3x + 1)(x - 2).
Next, we set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x.
(3x + 1)(x - 2) = 0
3x + 1 = 0
3x = -1
x = -1/3
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Therefore, the solutions to the equation [tex]3x^{2}[/tex] – 5x – 2 = 0 are x = -1/3 and x = 2.
Here is the explanation for each of the steps:
Step 1: In order to factor the polynomial, we need to find two numbers that add up to -5 and multiply to -2. The two numbers -1 and 2 satisfy both conditions, so the factored polynomial is (3x + 1)(x - 2).
Step 2: We set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x. When we set 3x + 1 equal to 0, we get x = -1/3. When we set x - 2 equal to 0, we get x = 2. Therefore, the solutions to the equation are x = -1/3 and x = 2.

A right triangle is shown. The length of the hypotenuse is 4 centimeters and the lengths of the other 2 sides are congruent. The hypotenuse of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures 4 cm. What is the length of one leg of the triangle? 2 cm 2 StartRoot 2 EndRoot cm 4 cm 4 StartRoot 2 EndRoot cm
Answer:
The leg measures 2 I believe
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the squares of the legs equal C ([tex]A^{2} +B^{2} = C^{2}[/tex]) the square root of 16 would be 4.
The Pythagorean theorem is a basic relationship between the three sides of a right triangle. The length of one leg of the triangle is 2√2 cm.
What is the Pythagoras theorem?The Pythagorean theorem, sometimes known as Pythagoras' theorem, is a basic relationship between the three sides of a right triangle in Euclidean geometry. The size of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides, according to this rule.
[tex]\rm (Hypotenuse)^2 =(Perpendicular)^2 + (Base)^2[/tex]
Let the length of the perpendicular be x.
Given the length of the hypotenuse is 4 centimeters, while the length of the other two sides is the same, therefore, the length of the other two sides is x. Therefore, using the Pythagorus theorem we can write,
[tex]\rm (Hypotenuse)^2 =(Perpendicular)^2 + (Base)^2[/tex]
[tex]4^2 = x^2+x^2\\\\16=2x^2\\\\8=x^2\\\\x= 2\sqrt2[/tex]
Hence, the length of one leg of the triangle is 2√2 cm.
