Answer 1

Answer:

The data is:

From the adults in town:

8% have liver problems, of those:

  25% heavy drinkers

  35% social drinkers

  40% non-drinkers.

92% do not have liver problems (100% - 8% = 92%)

   5%  heavy drinkers

   65% social drinkers.

   30% non-drinkers

a) An adult is chosen at random, then:

Has a liver problems

We know that 8% of the adults have liver problems, so the probability is 8%, or 8%/100% = 0.08.

Is a heavy drinker

Out of the 8%, 25% are heavy drinkers, and out of the other 92%, 5% are heavy drinkers, so the total percentage of heavy drinkers is:

(i will use decimal math, because you always should work with decimals instead of percentages)

P = 0.08*0.25 + 0.92*0.05 = 0.066

or 6.6% in percentage form

If a person is found to be a heavy drinker, what is the probability that this person

the proability that some one is a heavy drinker was already found, it is p = 0.066.

Now, of those 0.066 we have:

p1 = 0.08*0.25 = 0.02 have liver problems.

So the probability that, given that some one is a heavy drinker, that her/him also have liver problems is:

P = 0.02/0.066 = 0.3 or 30%.

If a person is found to have liver problems, what is the probability that this person  is a heavy drinker?

]We already know that out of the 8% with liver problems, a 25% are heavy drinkers, so here the answer is 25% or 0.25.

If a person is found to be a non –drinker, what is the probability that this person has  liver problems.

From the 8% with liver problems, we have 40% of non-drinkers,

So the total proportion of non-drinkers with liver problems is:

p1 = 0.8*0.40 = 0.032

From the 92% with no liver problems, we have that 30% of them are non-drinkers, so here we have:

p2 = 0.92*0.30 = 0.276

The total proportion of non drinkers is:

p1 + p2 = 0.032 + 0.276 = 0.308.

Then if we know that some one is non drinker, the proability that the person has liver problems is equal to the quotient between the proportion of non-drinkers with liver problems ( 0.032) and the total proportion of non-drinkers.

p = 0.032/0.308 = 0.104

or 10.4% in percentage form.

A department store offers two promotions. Promotion A says, "Buy one pair of shoes, get the second pair for half the price." Promotion B says, "Buy one pair of shoes, get $10 off the second pair." Jane wants to buy two pairs of shoes that cost $30 each. She can only use one of the promotions, A or B. Jane decides to use the promotion that will save her the most money. How many dollars does Jane save by picking one promotion over the other? (For example, if Jane spends $150 on her purchase by using one promotion and $100 on her purchase by using the other promotion, she saves $150-100=50$ dollars by using the second promotion over the first.)

Answers

Answer:

$5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Promotion A, Jane would buy the first pair for $30 and the second for 1/2 * 30 = $15 for a total of 30 + 15 = $45. Using Promotion B, she would buy the first pair for $30 and the second for 30 - 10 = $20 for a total of 30 + 20 = $50. Since 45 < 50, Promotion A is the better deal, so Jane would save 50 - 45 = $5.

Assuming that the squares’s sides are whole numbers, we can find the size of the squares by looking at numbers squared.  We find three that equal 153.

10²=10x10=100

7²=7x7=49

2²=2x2=4

100+49+4=153

Now we look at how they are put together to find the perimeter.

The 2x2 has 3 exposed sides totaling 6.

The 7x7 has a top and bottom of 7, and part of a third side of 7-2=5. 7+7+5=19

The 10x10 has 3 exposed sides of 10, and part of a third side of 10-7=3. 10+10+10+3=33

Identify the number of zeros of the polynomial function

Answers

Answer:

x = -7, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you are going to set the equation to 0, and then factor it.

Set equation to 0 -----> f(x)= x^2 - 49 will become x^2 - 49 = 0

Now, you're going to factor the equation.

You'll get (x-7) (x+7) upon factoring.

Thirdly, you will set (x-7)(x+7) equal to 0 and also solve for x.

Keep in mind that you'll be treating them as two separate equations

So, ----> (x-7) = 0 (x+7) = 0

When you solve for the x, you'll find out that x is equal to 7 and -7 ---> these are your zeros.

Answer:

There is a   min     value of   376     located at (x,y) =   (9,7)  

============================================================

Explanation:

Solve the second equation for y

x+y = 16

y = 16-x

Then plug it into the first equation

f(x,y) = 3x^2+4y^2 - xy

g(x) = 3x^2+4(16-x)^2 - x(16-x)

g(x) = 3x^2+4(256 - 32x + x^2) - 16x + x^2

g(x) = 3x^2+1024 - 128x + 4x^2 - 16x + x^2

g(x) = 8x^2-144x+1024

The positive leading coefficient 8 tells us we have a parabola that opens upward, and produces a minimum value (aka lowest point) at the vertex.

Let's compute the derivative and set it equal to zero to solve for x.

g(x) = 8x^2-144x+1024

g ' (x) = 16x-144

16x-144 = 0

16x = 144

x = 144/16

x = 9

The min value occurs when x = 9. Let's find its paired y value.

y = 16-x

y = 16-9

y = 7

The min value occurs at (x,y) = (9,7)

Lastly, let's find the actual min value of f(x,y).

f(x,y) = 3x^2+4y^2 - xy

f(9,7) = 3(9)^2+4(7)^2 - 9*7

f(9,7) = 376

The smallest f(x,y) value is 376.

A person collected ​$700 on a loan of ​$600 they made 5 years ago. If the person charged simple​ interest, what was the rate of​ interest? The interest rate is ​%. ​(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as​ needed.)

Answers

Answer:

Rate= 3 1/3%

Or Rate= 3.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Final amount collected= $700

Initial amount given out= $600

Interest made= Final amount - initial amount

Interest made= $700-$600

Interest made= $100

Type of interest rate = simple

Number of years = 5

PRT/100= interest

R=(100*interest)/(PT)

R= (100*100)/(600*5)

R= 10000/3000

R= 10/3

R= 3 1/3%

Answers

Answer:

As the calculated value of t =2.1698 is greater than t (0.05,11) = 1.796 reject H0 . It means  chosen bottles stored for a month convince you that the mean furfuryl ether content exceeds the taste threshhold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate our null and alternative hypotheses as

H0 u≤ 6 ug     Ha : u > 6 ug

The significance level ∝ = 0.05

The test statistic used is

t = X` - u / s/ √n

which if H0 is true, has the students' t test with n-1 = 11 degrees of freedom.

The critical region t > t (0.05,11) = 1.796

We compute the t value from the data

Xi               Xi²

8.92         79.5664

6.99          48.8601

5.54          30.6916

5.56          30.9136

6.90          47.61

6.46          41.7316          

80.42         553.0336      

Now x` = ∑x/ n = 80.42/12 = 6.70

S²= 1/n-1 ( ∑(xi- x`)²= 1/11 ( 553.034 - (80.42)²/12)

= 1/11 (553.034-538.948) = 1.2805

s= 1.1316

Putting the values in the test statistics

t = X` - u / s/ √n = 6.70- 6 / 1.1316 / √12

= 2.1698

The critical region t > t (0.05,11) = 1.796

As the calculated value of t =2.1698 is greater than t (0.05,11) = 1.796 reject H0 . It means  chosen bottles stored for a month convince you that the mean furfuryl ether content exceeds the taste threshhold.

The 99% confidence interval is  [tex]0.4107 < p < 0.4293[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are  told that

   The sample size  [tex]n = 19[/tex]

    The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = \$\ 390[/tex]

    The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = \$ \ 120[/tex]

 

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

           [tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]

          [tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]

          [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table

    So  

         [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

The  margin of error is mathematically represented as

      [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{120}{\sqrt{19} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]E = 53.96[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval is  

     [tex]\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E[/tex]

=>   [tex]390 - 53.96 < \mu < 390 - 53.96[/tex]

=>  [tex]336.04 < \mu < 443.96[/tex]

When the confidence level increases the [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }[/tex] also increases which increases the margin of error hence the confidence level becomes wider

Generally the sample size mathematically varies with margin of error as follows

         [tex]n \ \ \alpha \ \ \frac{1}{E^2 }[/tex]

So if the sample size increases the margin of error decrease

The  sample proportion is mathematically represented as

       [tex]\r p = \frac{210}{500}[/tex]

       [tex]\r p = 0.42[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is 0.99 the level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

The critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table is  

      [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

  Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

       [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }* \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1- \r p )}{n} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]E = 0.42 * \sqrt{ \frac{0.42 (1- 0.42 )}{ 500} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]E = 0.0093[/tex]

The 99% confidence interval  is

     [tex]\r p - E < p < \r p + E[/tex]

     [tex]0.42 - 0.0093 < p < 0.42 + 0.0093[/tex]

     [tex]0.4107 < p < 0.4293[/tex]

by splitting method

x^2 + 3x - 2x - 6

taking separate common from the first two terms and last two terms

x(x + 3) - 2(x + 3)

now writing x+3 once and the other term to get the right answer

(x + 3)(x - 2)

in both parts just see the similar term and write it as HCF

HCF= x - 2

and the second method by which you can get this answer is division method

which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y?

Answers

the answer is c because b doesn’t make sense

Answer:

Table C

Step-by-step explanation:

For x and y to be proportional , then the values of

[tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] = constant k

Table B

[tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex] = 2

[tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{24}{6}[/tex] = 4

[tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{36}{9}[/tex] = 4

The values are not constant

Table C

[tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

These values are constant

Then Table C shows a proportional relationship between x and y

Salina currently has an account balance of $1,047.69. Her initial deposit on the account was $630 and it earned 3.9% simple interest. How long has Salina held the account?

A - 17 years

B - 26 years

C - 10 years

D - 43 years

Answers

Answer:

A. 17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the simple interest equation, I = prt, where I is the interest money gained, p is the starting amount of money, r is the interest rate in decimal form, and t is the time in years.

Plug in the values to solve for t:

417.69 = (630)(0.039)(t)

417.69 = 24.57t

17 = t

= 17 years

So, the correct answer is A, 17 years

Given a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 6 cm and a leg of 4cm, what is the measure of the other leg of the triangle rounded to the tenths?

Answers

Answer:

4.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

A represents the leg we already know, which has a length of 4 cm. C represents the hypotenuse with a length of 6 cm:

4^2+b^2=6^2, simplified: 16+b^2=36

subtract 16 from both sides:

b^2=20

now find the square root of both sides and that is the length of the other leg.

sqrt20= 4.4721, which can be rounded to 4.5

Answer:

4.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

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

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

One leg is unknown and the other is 4 cm. The hypotenuse is 6 cm.

[tex]a=a\\b=4\\c=6[/tex]

Substitute the values into the theorem.

[tex]a^2+4^2=6^2[/tex]

Evaluate the exponents first.

4^2= 4*4= 16

[tex]a^2+16=6^2[/tex]

6^2=6*6=36

[tex]a^2+16=36[/tex]

We want to find a, therefore we must get a by itself.

16 is being added on to a^2. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 16 from both sides of the equation.

[tex]a^2+16-16=36-16\\\\a^2=36-16\\\\a^2=20[/tex]

a is being squared. The inverse of a square is a square root. Take the square root of both sides.

[tex]\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{20} \\\\a=\sqrt{20} \\\\a=4.47213595[/tex]

Round to the nearest tenth. The 7 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 4 in the tenth place to a 5.

[tex]a=4.5[/tex]

Add appropriate units. In this case, centimeters.

a= 4.5 cm

The length of the other leg is about 4.5 centimeters.

Fort Detrick now houses a number of high-end LABS, including the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, which stores deadly "specific biological agents and toxins" such as Ebola, anthrax and Brucella.In July 2019, the CDC suddenly ordered the temporary closure of the U.S. Army Institute of Infectious Disease Medicine at Fort Detrick. The suspended laboratory studies involved certain toxins that the government has determined "pose a serious threat to the public, animal or plant health, or animal or plant products." CDC spokeswoman Mary Linton later confirmed that six noncompliance with federal rules, including important biosafety procedures, had been found at the LABS. Around the same time, there was an outbreak of respiratory illness in a retiree community in Virginia. Fifty-four people developed fever, cough and general weakness, and two people died. Because the community is only about an hour's drive from the Fort Detrick Biological Research base, there were suspicions of a virus leak. The US owes the world an answer for repeatedly leaking the virus. "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Source: Frost, Robert.
