The "freshman 15" is the name of a common belief that college students, particularly women, gain an average of 15 pounds during their first year of college. In one study of 110 female first‐year college students (Psychology of Women Quarterly, vol 17, pp.119‐126, 1993), the mean weight was 130.6 pounds at the beginning of the study and 131.4 pounds six months later. The standard deviation was about 20 pounds at each time.

Required:
a. Estimate the change in the mean weight over this six‐month period.
b. Is this sufficient information to find a confidence interval or conduct at estimate about the change in the mean over six months? If not what else do you need to know?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) - 0.8 Ibs

B) There isn't enough information

    The standard deviations of the difference scores is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

N = 110 female first year college students

Mean weight at beginning of study = 130.6 Ib

Mean weight after six ( 6 ) months = 131.4 Ib

standard deviation = 20 pounds

A) Determine the change in the mean weight over the six(6) months period

mean weight at beginning - mean weight after six(6) months

= 130.6 - 131.4

= -0.8 Ibs

B) Determine if there is sufficient information to find a confidence interval

There isn't sufficient information to determine the confidence interval but in other to determine the confidence interval or conduct an estimate You need standard deviations of the difference scores to calculate the standard error of mean

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the soup pot is of 226.19 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Format of a soup pot:

A soup pot has a cylindrical format.

Cylinder volume:

The volume of a cylinder, with radius r and height g is given by:

[tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]

The soup pot is 8 inches tall with a radius of 3 inches.

This means that [tex]h = 8, r = 3[/tex]

What is the volume of the soup pot?

[tex]V = \pi r^2h = \pi*3^2*8 = 72\pi = 72(3.1415...) = 226.19[/tex]

The volume of the soup pot is of 226.19 cubic inches.

What is a polynomial?

Polynomials are mathematical expressions involving variables raised with non-negative integers and coefficients(constants who are in multiplication with those variables) and constants with only operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and non-negative exponentiation of variables involved.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the polynomial equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

A = 3x² + 8x + 5

On simplifying the equation , we get

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree. In this case, the polynomial 3x² + 8x + 5 has a term with degree 2 (the x² term) and the coefficient of that term is 3

Hence , the lead coefficient of this polynomial is 3

What is the midline of this function? y=  
  What is the amplitude of this function?     Define a function, g, to represent the behavior of the graphed function. g(a)=
NO LINKS. ​

Answers

Answer:

Midline is at y = 0

Amplitude is; A = 1.5

g(a) = 1.5 sin 0.5x

Period = 4π

Max value; y = 1.5

Min value; y = -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, we know that amplitude is highest point of the graph which is 1.5.

Thus, A = 1.5

Now,period from the graph is distance between where the graph repeats which in this case is 2π + 2π = 4π

Now, equation of this curve is;

y = A sin(B(x + C)) + D

Where;

A is amplitude

B is 2π/period = 2π/4π = ½

C is phase shift

D is vertical shift

The function g(a) that will represent the behavior of the graphed function would be gotten by Plugging in the relevant values but in this case, there are no phase shifts or vertical shifts. Thus, C = D = 0

g(a) = 1.5 sin 0.5x

Midline is the point between the maximum and minimum values.

Max value is at y = 1.5

Min value is at y = -1.5

Midline of both from the graph is at x = -π/2 which is at y = 0

You spend some time in the kitchen making sure the recipe is just right for
the cooking show. You spend 2 3/4 hours baking and half of an hour
cleaning up the kitchen. How much time were you in the kitchen?

Answers

Answer: 3¼ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hours used in baking = 2¾ hours

Number of hours used in cleaning up the kitchen = ½ hour

Therefore, the time used in the kitchen will be the addition of the time used in baking plus the time used in cleaning the kitchen which will be:

= 2¾ + ½

= 2 3/4 + 2/4

= 2 5/4

= 2 + 1¼

= 3¼ hours

Therefore, 3¼ hours was used in the kitchen.

A tank contains 40 gallons of a solution composed of water and bleach. At the start there are 4 gallons of bleach in the tank. A second solution containing half water and half bleach is added tothe tank at the rate of 4 gallons per minute. The solution is kept throughly mixed and drains from the tank at the rate of 4 gallons per minute.
(a) How much blcach is in the tank after t minutes?
(b) Will there be at least 14 gallons of bleach in the tank after 10 minutes?
(c) How much bleach will there be in the tank after a very long time has passed?

Answers

Answer:

a) x* e∧ t/10  =  20 *e∧ t/10 + 2

b) x  =  14,2 gall. In 10 min. we get 14,2 gallons of bleach in the tank

c) After a very long time we will find 20 gallons of bleach in the tank

Step-by-step explanation:

The variation of bleach in water in the tank is Δ(x)t:

Δ(x)t  = [Amount of x added to the tank - Amount of x drain out of the tank]*Δt

Now the amount of x added to the tank is:

Rate of adding* the concentration

Rate of adding =  4 gallons per minute

Concentration  half and half ( water + bleach)  = 0,5

Rate of draining =  4 gallons per minute

Concentration of draining: Unknown but can be expressed as:

x(t)/40. According to this

Δ(x)t  =  [4 * 0,5  -  4 * x(t)/40]*Δt

Dividing by Δt on both sides of the equation and tacking limits we get

dx/ dt    =  2  - x / 10

dx/dt + x/10 =2

Multyiplying by e∧ t/10 on both sides

e∧ t/10* [ dx/dt  +  x/10 ]  =  2 *e∧ t/10

To solve it, integrating the first member is

x* e∧ t/10  =  20 *e∧ t/10 + C

for initial condition t = 0

4    =  20 + C

C = -16

a) x* e∧ t/10  =  20 *e∧ t/10 - 16

b) in 10 minutes

x* e∧ t/10  =  20 *e∧ t/10 - 16

x *e  =  20*e  - 16

x   =   20  -  16/e

x   =  20  -  16/2,718

x   =   20 -  5,88

x  =  14,2  gallons.

c) After a very long time we will find 20 gallons of bleach in the tank

Answer: [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the common denominator

The easiest way to do this is by multiplying the two given denominators, which are 2 and 5.

2 × 5 = 10

So, our common denominator is 10. Then, multiply the numerators of the two fractions by 2 and 5. Here's why:

[tex]\frac{3*2}{5*2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{10}[/tex]         We multiplied the top and bottom by 2 to make sure our new fraction stays equivalent to the original fraction.

Do the same thing for the other one:

[tex]\frac{1*5}{2*5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]

Finally, subtract the two fractions to find the difference between the two times:

[tex]\frac{6}{10} -\frac{5}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

The reason we used the common denominator is because we can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominator.

1/10 is the answer:)

If f(x)=x^3−5x^2−2x+24 and (x+2) is a factor, what are the remaining factors?

Factor 1:
Factor 2:
Factor 3:

Answers

Answer:

(x+2), (x-4), (x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the rational root theorem to get started, then factor the remaining quadratic to find:

x^3 − 5x^2 − 2x + 24 = (x + 2)(x − 4)(x − 3)

Explanation:

Let  f(x) =x^3 − 5x^2 − 2x + 24

By the rational root theorem, any rational zeros of  f(x)  must be expressible in the for p/q for integers p, q with p a divisor of the constant term 24 and q a divisor of the coefficient 1 of the leading term.

That means that the only possible rational zeros are the factors of 24, namely:

± 1, ± 2, ± 3, ± 4, ± 6, ± 12, ± 24

Try each in turn:

f(1) = 1 − 5 − 2 + 24 = 18

f(−1) = −1 − 5 + 2 + 24 = 20

f(2) = 8 − 20 − 4 + 24 = 8

f(−2) = −8 − 20 + 4 + 24 = 0

So  x = −2  is a zero and (x + 2) is a factor.

x^3 − 5x^2 − 2x + 24 = (x + 2)(x^2 − 7x + 12)

We can factor  

x^2 − 7x + 12 by noting that 4 × 3 = 12 and 4 + 3 = 7, so:

x^2 − 7x + 12 = (x − 4)(x − 3)

Putting it all together:

x^3 − 5x^2 − 2x + 24  =  (x + 2)(x − 4)(x − 3)

     Multiply the equation by 8,

     [tex]8(\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{y}{8})=10\times 8[/tex]

     [tex]\frac{8x}{7}+y=80[/tex]

     Subtract [tex]\frac{8x}{7}[/tex] from both the sides of the equation,

     [tex]\frac{8x}{7}+y-\frac{8x}{7}=80-\frac{8x}{7}[/tex]

     [tex]y=80-\frac{8x}{7}[/tex]

     Therefore, value of the variable 'y' will be,

b) 0.310

c) 0.500

d) 0.900

Answer:

The required probability is 0.9

Option d) 0.900 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:'

Given the data in the question;

Total number of people in the survey or sample size n = 58

Number of people with college degree who live in 2 or more state = 18

P(2 states or more and college degree) = Number of people with college degree who live in 2 or more state / Total number of people in the survey

P(2 states or more and college degree)  = 18 / 58

Also, Total number of people with college degree = 2 + 18 = 20

so, P( College Degree ) =  Total number of people with college degree / Total number of people in the survey

P( College Degree ) = 20 / 58

Therefore, P(2 state or more | College Degree) will be;

⇒ P(2 states or more and college degree) / P( College Degree )

⇒ ( 18 / 58 ) / ( 20 / 58 )

⇒ ( ( 18 / 58 )58 ) / 20

⇒ (( 18 × 58 ) / 58 ) / 20

⇒ 18 / 20

0.9

Therefore, The required probability is 0.9

Option d) 0.900 is the correct answer.
