State whether the data described below are discrete or continuous, and explain why.
The exact lengths (in kilometers) of the ocean coastlines of different countries.
a. The data are continuous because the data can only take on specific values.
b. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values.
c. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.
d. The data are discrete because the data can take on any value in an interval.
Answer:
c. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
A variable is said to be continuous if it can take on any value in an interval. Examples are lengths, temperature, etc
A discrete variable, on the other hand, can only take on specific values. Examples of discrete variables are the number of students and age.
The exact lengths (in kilometers) of the ocean coastlines of different countries is a continuous variable because it can take on any value in an interval.
A stated earlier, Lengths are in general, continuous variables.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
==>Given:
=>Rectangular Pyramid:
L = 5mm
W = 3mm
H = 4mm
=>Rectangular prism:
L = 5mm
W = 3mm
H = 4mm
==>Required:
a. Volume of pyramid:
Formula for calculating volume of a rectangular pyramid us given as L*W*H
V = 5*3*4
V = 60 mm³
b. Volume of prism = ⅓*L*W*H
thus,
Volume of rectangular prism given = ⅓*5*3*4
= ⅓*60
= 20mm³
c. Volume of the prism = ⅓ x volume of the pyramid
Thus, 20 = ⅓ × 60
As we can observe from our calculation of the solid shapes given, the equation written above is true for all rectangular prism and rectangular pyramid of the same length, width and height.
An economist at Vanderbilt University devised a study to compare different types of online auctions. In one experiment he compared a Dutch auction to a first-place sealed bid auction. In the Dutch auction the item for sale starts at a very high price and is lowered gradually until someone finds the price low enough to buy. In the first-price sealed bid auction each bidder submits a single sealed bid before a particular deadline. After the deadline, the person with the highest bid wins. The researcher auctioned off collectible trading cards from the game Magic: The Gathering. He placed pairs of identical cards up for auction; one would go into Dutch auction and the other to the first-price sealed bid auction. He then looked at the difference in the prices he received on the pair. He repeated this for a total of 88 pairs.
[a] Explained why the data should be analyzed using paired samples as opposed to two independent samples.
[b] What makes a pair?
[c] What is the explanatory variable? Is it categorical or quantitative?
[d] What is the response variable? Is it categorical or quantitative?
[e] State the relevant hypotheses in words:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
[f] Define the parameter of interest and give the symbol that should be assigned to it.
[g] State the relevant hypotheses in symbols (using a parameter):
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
[h] Assume the p-value is 0.17 (write a conclusion).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The data should be analyzed using paired samples because the economist made two measurements (samples) drawn from the same pair of identical cards. Each data point in one sample is uniquely paired to a data point in the second sample.
b. A pair is made up of two identical cards where one would go into Dutch auction and the other to the first-price sealed bid auction.
c. The explanatory variables are the types of online auction which are the Dutch auction and the first price sealed bid auction. The explanation variable here is categorical: the Dutch auction and the first price sealed bid auction.
d. The response variable which is also known as the outcome variable is prices for the 2 different auction for each pair of identical cards. This variable is quantitative.
e. Null Hypothesis in words: There is no difference in the prices obtained in the two different online auction.
Alternative hypothesis: There is a difference in the prices obtained in the two different online auction.
f. The parameter of interest in this case is the mean prices of pairs of identical cards for both auction and is assigned p.
g. Null hypothesis: p(dutch) = p(first-price sealed auction)
Alternative hypothesis: p(dutch) =/ p(first-price sealed auction)
h. Assuming the p-value is 0.17 at an assed standard 0.05 significance level, our conclusion would be to fail to reject the null hypothesis as 0.17 is greater than 0.05 or even 0.01 and we can conclude that, there is no statistically significant evidence to prove that there is a difference in the prices obtained in the two different online auction.

Which of the following is a polynomial with roots: − square root of 3 , square root of 3, and −2?
So
[tex]x_{1} = x_{2} = \sqrt{3}[/tex]
[tex]x_{3} = -2[/tex]
Then
[tex](x - \sqrt{3})^{2}*(x - (-2)) = (x - \sqrt{3})^{2}*(x + 2) = (x^{2} -2x\sqrt{3} + 3)*(x + 2) = x^{3} + 2x^{2} - 2x^{2}\sqrt{3} - 4x\sqrt{3} + 3x + 6[/tex]
Since [tex]\sqrt{3} = 1.73[/tex]
[tex]x^{3} + 2x^{2} - 3.46x^{2} - 6.93x + 3x + 6 = x^{3} - 1.46x^{2} - 3.93x + 6[/tex]
The polynomial is [tex]x^{3} - 1.46x^{2} - 3.93x + 6[/tex]

Insurance companies track life expectancy information to assist in determining the cost of life insurance policies. AIB Insurance randomly sampled 100 recently paid policies and determined the average age of clients in this sample to be 77.7 years with a standard deviation of 3.6. The 90% confidence interval for the true mean age of its life insurance policy holders is
A. (76.87, 80.33)
B. (72.5, 82.9)
C. (77.1, 78.3)
D. (74.1, 81.3)
E. (74.5, 80)
Answer:
[tex]77.7-1.66\frac{3.6}{\sqrt{100}} =77.102[/tex]
[tex]77.7+1.66\frac{3.6}{\sqrt{100}} =78.30[/tex]
And the best option would be:
C. (77.1, 78.3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
[tex]\bar X=77.7[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
s=3.6 represent the sample standard deviation
n=100 represent the sample size
Confidence interval
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=100-1=99[/tex]
Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the significance would be [tex]\alpha=0.1[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.05[/tex], and the critical value for this case would be [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=1.66[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex]77.7-1.66\frac{3.6}{\sqrt{100}} =77.10[/tex]
[tex]77.7+1.66\frac{3.6}{\sqrt{100}} =78.30[/tex]
And the best option would be:

A basketball coach is looking over the possessions per game during last season. Assume that the possessions per game follows an unknown distribution with a mean of 56 points and a standard deviation of 12 points. The basketball coach believes it is unusual to score less than 50 points per game. To test this, she randomly selects 36 games. Use a calculator to find the probability that the sample mean is less than 50 points. Round your answer to three decimal places if necessary.
Answer:
The probability that the sample mean is less than 50 points = 0.002
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(i):-
Given mean of the normal distribution = 56 points
Given standard deviation of the normal distribution = 12 points
Random sample size 'n' = 36 games
Step(ii):-
Let x⁻ be the random variable of normal distribution
Let x⁻ = 50
[tex]Z = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{50-56 }{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36} } }= -3[/tex]
The probability that the sample mean is less than 50 points
P( x⁻≤ 50) = P( Z≤-3)
= 0.5 - P(-3 <z<0)
= 0.5 -P(0<z<3)
= 0.5 - 0.498
= 0.002
Final answer:-
The probability that the sample mean is less than 50 points = 0.002
Answer:
56
2
.001
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central Limit Theorem for Means states that the mean of any sampling distribution of the means is equal to the mean of the population distribution. The standard deviation is equal to the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size. So, the mean of this sampling distribution of the means with sample size 36 is 56 points and the standard deviation is 1236√=2 points. The z-score for 50 using the formula z=x¯¯¯−μσ is −3.
z 0.00 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.07 0.08 0.09
-3.0 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001
-2.9 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.001 0.001 0.001
-2.8 0.003 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002 0.002
-2.7 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003 0.003
-2.6 0.005 0.005 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004
-2.5 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.006 0.005 0.005 0.005 0.005 0.005
Using the Standard Normal Table, the area to the left of −3 is approximately 0.001. Therefore, the probability that the sample mean will be less than 50 points is approximately 0.001.

Decide whether the method of undetermined coefficients together with superposition can be applied to find a particular solution of the given equation. Do not solve the equation Can the method of undetermined coefficients together with superposition be applied to find a particular solution of the given equation?
A. No, because the right side of the given equation is not the correct type of function
B, Yes °
C. No, because the differential equation is not linear.
D. No, because the differential equation does not have constant coefficients.
Answer:
D. No, because the differential equation does not have constant coefficients.
Step-by-step explanation:
The undetermined coefficient method cannot be applied to non homogeneous variables. The differential equation does not have constant variables therefore the method of undetermined superposition can not be applied. To complete a solution of non homogeneous equation the particular solution must be added to the homogeneous equation.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line 2y – 3x = 8?
Answer:
[tex] = \frac{3}{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]
Here,
m => slopec => interceptIn this equation ,
[tex]2y - 3x = 8[/tex]
to find the value of m or the value of slope we have to solve for y
Let's solve,
[tex]2y - 3x = 8 \\ 2y = 8 + 3x \\ \frac{2y}{2} = \frac{8 + 3x}{2} \\ y = 4 + \frac{3x}{2} \\ y = \frac{3x}{2} + 4[/tex]
So, the slope is,
[tex] = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Question:
An insurance company examines its pool of auto insurance customers and gathers the following information: (i) All customers insure at least one car. (ii) 70% of the customers insure more than one car. (iii) 20% of the customers insure a sports car. (iv) Of those customers who insure more than one car, 15% insure a sports car. Calculate the probability that a randomly selected customer insures exactly one car, and that car is not a sports car?
Answer:
P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 0.205
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X is the event that the customer insures more than one car.
Let X' is the event that the customer insures exactly one car.
Let Y is the event that customer insures a sport car.
Let Y' is the event that customer insures not a sport car.
From the given information we have
70% of customers insure more than one car.
P(X) = 0.70
20% of customers insure a sports car.
P(Y) = 0.20
Of those customers who insure more than one car, 15% insure a sports car.
P(Y | X) = 0.15
We want to find out the probability that a randomly selected customer insures exactly one car, and that car is not a sports car.
P( X' ∩ Y' ) = ?
Which can be found by
P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 1 - P( X ∪ Y )
From the rules of probability we know that,
P( X ∪ Y ) = P(X) + P(Y) - P( X ∩ Y ) (Additive Law)
First, we have to find out P( X ∩ Y )
From the rules of probability we know that,
P( X ∩ Y ) = P(Y | X) × P(X) (Multiplicative law)
P( X ∩ Y ) = 0.15 × 0.70
P( X ∩ Y ) = 0.105
So,
P( X ∪ Y ) = P(X) + P(Y) - P( X ∩ Y )
P( X ∪ Y ) = 0.70 + 0.20 - 0.105
P( X ∪ Y ) = 0.795
Finally,
P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 1 - P( X ∪ Y )
P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 1 - 0.795
P( X' ∩ Y' ) = 0.205
Therefore, there is 0.205 probability that a randomly selected customer insures exactly one car, and that car is not a sports car.

Let x1 = 12, y1 = 15, and y2 = 3. Let y vary inversely with x. Find x2.
Answer:
x2 = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
If the variables x and y are inversely proportional, the product x * y is a constant.
So using x1 and y1 we can find the value of this constant:
[tex]x1 * y1 = k[/tex]
[tex]12 * 15 = k[/tex]
[tex]k = 180[/tex]
Now, we can use the same constant to find x2:
[tex]x2 * y2 = k[/tex]
[tex]x2 * 3 = 180[/tex]
[tex]x2 = 180 / 3 = 60[/tex]
So the value of x2 is 60.
A study conducted at a certain college shows that "53%" of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation. Find the probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating. 0.989 0.978 0.927 0.167 0.530
Answer:
0.989
Step-by-step explanation:
For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation, or they do not. The probability of a graduate finding a job is independent of other graduates. 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.
A study conducted at a certain college shows that "53%" of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation.
This means that [tex]p = 0.53[/tex]
6 randomly selected graduates
This means that [tex]n = 6[/tex]
Probability that at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating:
Either none find a job, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So
[tex]P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1[/tex]
We want [tex]P(X \geq 1)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.53)^{0}.(0.47)^{6} = 0.011[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.011 = 0.989[/tex]

3x^2
x^2 + 2x
x^2 - 10x
3x^2 + 2x
Answer:
x^2 - 10x
