Answer 1

Answer:

The  95% confidence interval is  [tex]98.27 < \mu < 102.53[/tex]

This interval means that there 95% confidence that the true mean is within this interval  

Yes i would agree with my friend because the lower and the upper limit 95% confidence interval for mean points scored at home is greater than 98 points

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample size is  n =  20

   The  sample mean is  [tex]\mu = 100.4[/tex]

     The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 4.86[/tex]

 

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level of significance is mathematically evaluated 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, the value is  

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

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

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

substituting values

            [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 4.86 }{ \sqrt{20 } }[/tex]

           [tex]E = 2.13[/tex]

The  95% confidence interval is  mathematically represented as

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

substituting values

         [tex]100.4 - 2.13 < \mu < 100.4 + 2.13[/tex]

          [tex]98.27 < \mu < 102.53[/tex]

A machine fills boxes weighing Y lb with X lb of salt, where X and Y are normal with mean 100 lb and 5 lb and standard deviation 1 lb and 0.5 lb, respectively. What percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb are to be expected?
a. 67%
b. None
c. 37%
d. 57%

Answers

Answer:

Option b. None is the correct option.

The Answer is 63%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for this question, we would be using the z score formula

The formula for calculating a z-score is given as:

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

We have boxes X and Y. So we will be combining both boxes

Mean of X = 100 lb

Mean of Y = 5 lb

Total mean = 100 + 5 = 105lb

Standard deviation for X = 1 lb

Standard deviation for Y = 0.5 lb

Remember Variance = Standard deviation ²

Variance for X = 1lb² = 1

Variance for Y = 0.5² = 0.25

Total variance = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25

Total standard deviation = √Total variance

= √1.25

Solving our question, we were asked to find the percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb are to be expected. Hence,

For 104lb

z = (x-μ)/σ,

z = 104 - 105 / √25

z = -0.89443

Using z score table ,

P( x = z)

P ( x = 104) = P( z = -0.89443) = 0.18555

For 1061b

z = (x-μ)/σ,

z = 106 - 105 / √25

z = 0.89443

Using z score table ,

P( x = z)

P ( x = 106) = P( z = 0.89443) = 0.81445

P(104 ≤ Z ≤ 106) = 0.81445 - 0.18555

= 0.6289

Converting to percentage, we have :

0.6289 × 100 = 62.89%

Approximately = 63 %

Therefore, the percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb that are to be expected is 63%

Since there is no 63% in the option, the correct answer is Option b. None.

The percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb is to be expected will be 63%.

What is a normal distribution?

It is also called the Gaussian Distribution. It is the most important continuous probability distribution. The curve looks like a bell, so it is also called a bell curve.

The z-score is a numerical measurement used in statistics of the value's relationship to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standards from the mean.

A machine fills boxes weighing Y lb with X lb of salt, where X and Y are normal with a mean of 100 lb and 5 lb and standard deviation of 1 lb and 0.5 lb, respectively.

The percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb is to be expected will be

Then the Variance will be

[tex]Var = \sigma ^2[/tex]

Then for X, we have

[tex]Var (X) = 1^2 = 1[/tex]

Then for Y, we have

[tex]Var (Y) = 0.5^2 = 0.25[/tex]

Then the total variance will be

[tex]Total \ Var (X+Y) = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25[/tex]

The total standard deviation will be

[tex]\sigma _T = \sqrt{Var(X+Y)}\\\\\sigma _T = \sqrt{1.25}[/tex]

For 104 lb, then

[tex]z = \dfrac{104-105}{\sqrt{25}} = -0.89443\\\\P(x = 104) = 0.18555[/tex]

For 106 lb, then

[tex]z = \dfrac{106-105}{\sqrt{25}} = 0.89443\\\\P(x = 106) = 0.81445[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(104 \leq Z \leq 106) = 0.81445 - 0.18555 = 0.6289 \ or \ 62.89\%[/tex]

Approximately, 63%.

The Freeman family is barbecuing veggie burgers, corn cobs, and mushroom caps in their local park. If 3 8 of the items barbecued are veggie burgers, and 1 3 of the items barbecued are corn cobs, what fraction of barbecued items are mushroom caps?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Freeman family barbecued veggie burgers, corn cobs, and mushroom caps. 3/8 of the items barbecued are veggie burgers, and 1/3 of the items barbecued are corn cobs.

Let the total number of berbecued items be x. Therefore:

x = barbecued veggie burgers + barbecued corn cobs + barbecued mushroom caps

Barbecued veggie burgers = (3/8)x, barbecued corn cobs = (1/3)x, Let barbecued mushroom caps be y

Substituting:

x = (3/8)x + (1/3)x + y

Multiply through by 24

24x = 9x + 8x + 24y

24x = 17x + 24y

24y = 24x - 17x

24y = 7x

y = (7/24)x

barbecued mushroom caps = (7/24) of items

7/24 of the items barbecued are mushroom caps

Using fractions, it is found that the fraction of barbecued items that are mushroom caps is of [tex]\frac{7}{24}[/tex].

---------------------------

The total proportion of all products is 100% = 1.The fraction corresponding to veggie burgers is [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex].The fraction corresponding to corn cobs is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex].The fraction corresponding to mushroom caps is x.

---------------------------

Thus:

[tex]\frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{3} + x = 1[/tex]

Solving for x, we find the fraction of mushroom caps.The least common multiple of 3 and 8 is 24.

Then:

[tex]\frac{3\times3 + 8\times1 + 24x}{24} = 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{17 + 24x}{24} = 1[/tex]

[tex]17 + 24x = 24[/tex]

[tex]24x = 7[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{7}{24}[/tex]

The fraction of barbecued items that are mushroom caps is of [tex]\frac{7}{24}[/tex].

∑X = 450

∑Y = 960

∑XY = 61600

∑X² = 35500

∑Y² = 221800

a = ∑y∑x²-∑x∑xy/n∑x²-(∑x)²

a = 960 * 35500-450*61600/6*35500-450²

a = 6360000/10500

= 605.7

b = n∑xy - ∑x∑y/n∑x²-(∑x)²

= 6*61600 - 450*960/6*35500 - 450²

= -5.943

the regression line

Y = a + bx

Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

3. we are to find correlation coefficient

r = n∑xy - ∑x∑y multiplied by√(n∑x²-(∑x)² * (n∑y² - (∑y)²)

= 6*61600 -960*450/√(6*35500 - 450²)*(6*221800 - 960²)

=-62400/√4296600000

= -62400/65548.5

= -0.952

4. we have to predict sales of a 90 degree day fro the regression line

Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

Answers

Answer: f(x) = (-1/2)x+1, choice B

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

Explanation:

The diagonal line passes through 1 on the vertical y axis. So the y intercept is b = 1. This means the location of the y intercept is (0,1).

Start at (0,1) and move down 1 and to the right 2 to arrive at (2,0). This is another point on the diagonal line. The motion of "down 1 and right 2" is effectively the slope

slope = rise/run = -1/2

rise = -1, run = 2

The rise being negative means we have gone downhill as we move to the right.

With m = -1/2 as the slope and b = 1 as the y intercept, we go from y = mx+b to y = (-1/2)x+1

The last thing to do is replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = (-1/2)x+1 as the final answer.

Answer:Each of the points and the y-intercept of their perpendicular bisectors

Step-by-step explanation:

Where AB and CD are parallel lines:

the y-intercept of line AB is -56/5

the equation of line CD is: y = 7/5x - 2

What is the Slope of Parallel Lines?

If two lines are parallel, they will have the same slope (m) value in their equation, y = mx + b (slope-intercept form).

Find the slope of AB:

Slope of AB (m) = change in y / change in x = (7 - 0)/(3 - 8) = 7/5

To find the y-intercept (b) of AB, substitute (x, y) = (8, 0) and m = 7/5 into y = mx + b

0 = 7/5(8) + b

0 - 56/5 = b

b = -56/5 (y-intercept of AB)

AB is parallel to CD, so, CD will have the same slope of 7/5.

To find the equation of CD, substitute m = 7/5 and (a, b) = (5, 5) into y - b = m(x - a)

y - 5 = 7/5(x - 5)

y - 5 = 7/5x - 7

y = 7/5x - 7 + 5

y = 7/5x - 2 (equation of line CD)

the angle theta is in the second quadrant and cos theta = -2/√29 determine possible coordinates for point P on the terminal arm of theta a. (2,5) b. (-2,√29) c. (-5,2) d. (-2,5)

Answers

[tex] \cos(\theta)=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{29}}[/tex] and $\theta$ lies in $2^{\text{th}}$ quadrant.

where, $x-$ coordinate is negative, and $y-$ coordinate is positive

so it can't a.

now, cosine means, side adjacent over the hypotenuse, in Cartesian plane, that will be $x-$ coordinate over the distance from origin.

Assume the triangle , with base $2$ units and hypotenuse $\sqrt{29}$ and it's in second quadrant. (so [tex] \cos(\theta)=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{29}}[/tex])

now, the leftmost point on $x-$ axis is , obviously $(-2,0)$

and by Pythagoras theorem, we can find the perpendicular side, that will be $y^2=(\sqrt{29})^2-(2)^2\implies y=5$

so the coordinates of the upper vertex is $(-2,5)$, each point lying on this "ray" should have equal ratio of respective coordinates. i.e. $\frac25=\left|\frac xy\right| $

Answer:

(1) B

(2) A

(3) C

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable is a variable that denotes a set of all the possible outcomes of a random experiment. It is denotes by a single capital letter such as X or Y.

There are two types of random variables.

Discrete random variable: These type of random variable takes finite number of values, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... For example, number of girl child in a neighborhood.Continuous random variable: These type of random variables takes infinite number of possible values. For example, the height, weight.

(1)

Exact weight of quarters now in circulation in the United States.

The variable weight is a continuous variable.

Thus, the exact weight of quarters now in circulation in the United States is a continuous random variable.

(2)

Shoe sizes of humans.

The shoe size of a person are discrete and finite values.

Thus, the shoe sizes of humans are discrete random variables.

(3)

Political party affiliations of adults in the United States.

This variable is not a quantitative variable.

It is a qualitative variable.

Thus, the political party affiliations of adults in the United States is no random variable.

Answers

Answer:

16/45x-11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply across

2/15x-30/40-1/6+2/9x=

Get common denominators of like terms

6/45x+10/45x-9/12-2/12=

Combine like terms

16/45x-11/12

The simplified expression is: (16/45)x - (11/12)

To simplify the given expression, we'll follow the steps:

Step 1: Distribute the fractions through the parentheses.

Step 2: Simplify the expression by combining like terms.

Let's proceed with the simplification:

Step 1: Distribute the fractions through the parentheses:

2/5 * (1/3x - 15/8) - 1/3 * (1/2 - 2/3x)

Step 2: Simplify the expression:

To distribute 2/5 through (1/3x - 15/8):

2/5 * 1/3x = 2/15x

2/5 * (-15/8) = -15/20 = -3/4

So, the first part becomes: 2/15x - 3/4

To distribute -1/3 through (1/2 - 2/3x):

-1/3 * 1/2 = -1/6

-1/3 * (-2/3x) = 2/9x

So, the second part becomes: -1/6 + 2/9x

Now, the entire expression becomes:

2/15x - 3/4 - 1/6 + 2/9x

Step 3: Combine like terms:

To combine the terms with "x":

2/15x + 2/9x = (2/15 + 2/9)x

Now, find the common denominator for (2/15) and (2/9), which is 45:

(2/15 + 2/9) = (6/45 + 10/45) = 16/45

So, the combined x term becomes:

(16/45)x

Now, combine the constant terms:

-3/4 - 1/6 = (-18/24 - 4/24) = -22/24

To simplify -22/24, we can divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (which is 2):

-22 ÷ 2 = -11

24 ÷ 2 = 12

So, the combined constant term becomes:

(-11/12)

Putting it all together, the simplified expression is:

(16/45)x - (11/12)
