{ 130, 135, 140, 120, 130, 130, 144, 143, 140, 130, 150 }

Answer;

1) The t-distribution is most suitable for this problem.

2) Test statistic = 2.356

3) p-value = 0.0214

4) Alpha = 5% = 0.05

5) The p-value is greater than the significance level at which the test was performed, meaning that we reject the null hypothesis, accept the alternative hypothesis & say that there is enough evidence to conclude that the husbands are happier in dual couple marriages.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Wife's score 2 2 3 3 4 2 1 1 2 4

Husband's score 2 1 2 3 2 1 1 1 2 4

To conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level to see if the mean difference in the husband's versus the wife's satisfaction level is negative (meaning that, within the partnership, the husband is happier than the wife, we first take the difference in the respomses of wives and husbands

x = (wife's score) - (husband's score)

Wife's score 2 2 3 3 4 2 1 1 2 4

Husband's score 2 1 2 3 2 1 1 1 2 4

Difference | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0

To use the hypothesis test method, we have to make sure that the distribution is a random sample of the population and it is normally distributed.

The question already cleared these two for us that this sample size is randomly selected from the population and each variable is independent from the other.

The question also already explained that the distribution is assumed to be normally distributed.

1) The distribution to use for this test is the t-distribution. This is because the sample size isn't very large and we have no information about the population mean and standard deviation.

For any hypothesis testing, we must first define the null and alternative hypothesis

Since we want to investigate whether the husbands are happier, that the mean difference is negative, that is less than 0,

The null hypothesis, which normally counters the claim to be investigated, would be that there isnt evidence to conclude that the husbands are happier in dual couple marriages. That is, the mean difference in happiness isn't less than 0, that it is equal to or greater than 0.

And the alternative hypothesis, which usually confirms the claim to be tested, is that there is significant evidence to conclude that the husbands are happier in dual couple marriages. That is, the mean difference in happiness is less than 0.

Mathematically, if μ is the mean difference in happiness of wives and husbands,

The null hypothesis is represented as

H₀: μ ≥ 0

The alternative hypothesis is represented as

Hₐ: μ < 0

2) To obtain the test statistic, we need the mean and standard deviation first.

Mean = (sum of variables)/(number of variables) = (5/10) = 0.5

Standard deviation = σ = √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

Σ(x - xbar)² = 6(0 - 0.5)² + 3(1 - 0.5)² + (2 - 0.5)² = 1.5 + 0.75 + 2.25 = 4.5

σ = √(4.5/10) = 0.671

we compute the t-test statistic

t = (x - μ)/σₓ

x = sample mean difference = 0.50

μ = 0

σₓ = standard error of the sample mean = (σ/√n)

where n = Sample size = 10,

σ = Sample standard deviation = 0.671

σₓ = (0.671/√10) = 0.2122

t = (0.50 - 0) ÷ 0.2122

t = 2.356

3) checking the tables for the p-value of this t-statistic

Degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

Significance level = 5% = 0.05

The hypothesis test uses a one-tailed condition because we're testing only in one direction.

p-value (for t = 2.356, at 0.05 significance level, df = 9, with a one tailed condition) = 0.021441 = 0.0214

4) Alpha = significance level = 5% = 0.05

5) The interpretation of p-values is that

When the (p-value > significance level), we fail to reject the null hypothesis and when the (p-value < significance level), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

So, for this question, significance level = 0.05

p-value = 0.0214

0.0214 < 0.05

Hence,

p-value < significance level

This means that we reject the null hypothesis, accept the alternative hypothesis & say that there is enough evidence to conclude that the husbands are happier in dual couple marriages.

Answer:

9x + 4x^2 - 5y

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that the length of a rectangular field is represented by the expression 14x - 3x^2 + 2y and width of the field by 5x - 7x^2 + 7y

Now we have to tell how much greater is the length of the field than the width.

That means length is greater than width and we have to subtract width from length.

Length - width = (14x - 3x^2 + 2y) - (5x - 7x^2+ 7y)

                        = 14x - 5x - 3x^2 + 7x^2 + 2y - 7y

                        = 9x + 4x^2 - 5y

Therefore expression which represents the difference between length and width of the field will be (9x + 4x^2 - 5y)

By 9x+4x²-5y length is greater than the width of a rectangle.

To subtract an algebraic expression from another, we should change the signs (from '+' to '-' or from '-' to '+') of all the terms of the expression which is to be subtracted and then the two expressions are added.

Given that, the length of rectangle is 14x-3x²+2y and width of a rectangle is 5x-7x²+7y.

To find how much greater is the length of the field than the width we need to subtract the width from the length, we get

14x-3x²+2y-(5x-7x²+7y)

= 14x-3x²+2y-5x+7x²-7y

= 9x+4x²-5y

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

The length of a rectangular field is represented by the expression14x-3x^2+2y. The width of the field is represented by the expression 5x-7x^2+7y. How much greater is the length of the field than the width?

A) 9x+4x^2-5y

B)9x-10x^2-5y

C)19x+4x^2+9y

D) 19x-10x^2+9y

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to finding the line perpendicular to the one given is teh slope. The slope is the opposite reciprocal of the original line.

m=3

perpendicular m=-1/3

Now that we know the slope, we can see which of our answer choices have -1/3 as the slope. We can see D is the only option that has -1/3 for slope.

Answer:

D) y = -1/3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. This means that since the slope of this line is 3, the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be -1/3 because:

Original slope: 3 (3/1)

Reciprocal (flipped): 1/3

Negative reciprocal (opposite sign): -1/3

The only equation with a slope of -1/3 is D. Therefore, that is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter, we'll use the distance formula

Distance Formula = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

Finding Distance of AB

|AB| = √(-2+5)²+(3+1)²

|AB| = √25

|AB| = 5

Now For BC

|BC| = √(6+2)²+(-3-3)²

|BC| = √(8)²+(-6)²

|BC| = √100

|BC| = 10

FOR CA:

|CA| = √(-5-6)²+(-3+1)²

|CA| = √125

Perimeter of Triangle = 10 + 5 + √125

Ten rugby balls are randomly selected from the production line to see if their shape is correct. Over time, the company has found that 89.4% of all their rugby balls have the correct shape. If exactly 6 of the 10 have the right shape, should the company stop the production line?

1)Yes as the probability of six having the correct shape is not unusual

2)NO. as the probability of six having the correct shape is unusual

3)Yes as the probability of six having the correct shape is unusual

4) No. as the probability of six having the correct shape is not unusual

Solution:

If exactly 6 of the 10 have the right shape, it means that the probability of success for the sample is

6/10 = 0.6

Expressing the probability in terms if percentage, it becomes

0.6 × 100 = 60%

Over time, the company has found that 89.4% of all their rugby balls have the correct shape. It means that the probability of success for the population is 89.4%

Answer:

a) Within 260 grams and 340 grams.

b) 68%

c) 32%

d) 97.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule 68-95-99.7 for bell-shaped distributions tells us that:

a) The data that covers 95% of the organs is within 2 standard deviations (z=±2).

Then we can calculate the bounds as:

[tex]X_1=\mu+z_1\cdot\sigma=300+-2\cdot 20=300+-40=260 \\\\X_2=\mu+z_2\cdot\sigma=300+2\cdot 20=300+40=340[/tex]

b) We have to calculate the number of deviations from the mean (z-score) we have for the values X=280 and X=320.

[tex]z_1=\dfrac{X_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{280-300}{20}=\dfrac{-20}{20}=-1\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{X_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{320-300}{20}=\dfrac{20}{20}=1\\\\\\[/tex]

As there are the bounds for one standard devaition, it is expected tht 68% of the data will be within 280 grams and 320 grams.

c) This interval is complementary from the interval in point b, so it is expected that (100-68)%=32% of the organs weighs less than 280 grams or more than 320 grams.

d) We apply the same as point b but with X=240 and X=340 as bounds.

[tex]z_1=\dfrac{X_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{240-300}{20}=\dfrac{-60}{20}=-3\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{X_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{340-300}{20}=\dfrac{40}{20}=2\\\\\\[/tex]

The lower bound is 3 deviations under the mean, so it is expected that (99.7/2)=49.85% of the data will be within this value and the mean.

The upper bound is 2 deviations above the mean, so it is expected that (95/2)=47.5% of the data will be within the mean and this value.

Then, within 240 grams and 340 grams will be (49.85+47.5)=97.35% of the organs.

2.16% probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP

Step-by-step explanation:

For each coin toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he predicts the correct outcome, or he does not. The tosses are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Fair coin:

Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

Coin is flipped 25 times

So [tex]n = 25[/tex]

What is the probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP?

[tex]P(X \geq 18) = P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) + P(X = 21) + P(X = 22) + P(X = 23) + P(X = 24) + P(X = 25)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 18) = C_{25,18}.(0.5)^{18}.(0.5)^{7} = 0.0143[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 19) = C_{25,19}.(0.5)^{19}.(0.5)^{6} = 0.0053[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 20) = C_{25,20}.(0.5)^{20}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.0016[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 21) = C_{25,21}.(0.5)^{21}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.0004[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 22) = C_{25,22}.(0.5)^{22}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.0001[/tex]

The others(23, 24 and 25) are close to 0.

[tex]P(X \geq 18) = P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) + P(X = 21) + P(X = 22) + P(X = 23) + P(X = 24) + P(X = 25) = 0.0143 + 0.0053 + 0.0016 + 0.0004 = 0.0216[/tex]

Answer:

The perimeter is 26 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = A= l x w

1st rectangle = 6 x 5 = 30 yards squared

2nd rectangle= 10 x 3 = 30 yards squared

perimeter of rectangle = 2l+2w= 10 + 10 + 3 + 3= 26

Answer:

That can be factored as

(x -1  (1/3) ) * ( x +3) * (x -4/5)

and the zeroes are located at:

x = 1.33333333...   x = -3    and x = .8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ \ f(x)=(x+3)(5x-4)(3x-4) \ \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factorise the following function

[tex]f(x)=15 x^3+13 x^2-80 x+48[/tex]

-3 is a trivial solution, we can notice that f(-3)=0

so we can factorise by (x+3)

let s note a, b and c real and let s write

[tex]f(x)=15 x^3+13 x^2-80 x+48=(x+3)(ax^2+bx+c)[/tex]

[tex](x+3)(ax^2+bx+c) = ax^3+bx^2+cx+3ax^2+3bx+3c=ax^3+(b+3a)x^2+(3b+c)x+3c[/tex]

let s identify...

the terms in [tex]x^3[/tex]

   15 = a

the terms in [tex]x^2[/tex]

   13 = b + 3a

the terms in x

   -80 = 3b+c

the constant terms

   48 = 3c

so it comes, c=48/3=16, a = 15, b = 13-3*15=13-45=-32

so [tex]f(x)=(x+3)(15x^2-32x+16)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta=32^2-4*15*16=64[/tex]

so the roots of [tex](15x^2-32x+16)[/tex] are

[tex]\dfrac{32-8}{15*2}=\dfrac{24}{30}=\dfrac{12}{15}=\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]

and

[tex]\dfrac{32+8}{15*2}=\dfrac{40}{30}=\dfrac{20}{15}=\dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]

so [tex]f(x)=(x+3)(5x-4)(3x-4)[/tex]

the zeros are -3, 4/5, 4/3
