Answer:

a) Q1= 144.10

Median = 150

Q3=155.90

b) The 99 percentile would be:[tex]a=150 +2.33*8.75=170.39[/tex]

And represent a value who accumulate 99% of the values below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(150,8.75)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=150[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=8.75[/tex]

Part a

Lets begin with the first quartile:

[tex]P(X>a)=0.75[/tex]   (a)

[tex]P(X<a)=0.25[/tex]   (b)

We can find the quantile in the normal standard distribution and we got z=-0.674.

And we can apply the z score formula and we got:

[tex]z=-0.674<\frac{a-150}{8.75}[/tex]

And if we solve for a we got

[tex]a=150 -0.674*8.75=144.10[/tex]

The median for this case is the mean [tex]Median =150[/tex]

For the third quartile we find the quantile who accumulate 0.75 of the area below and we got z=0.674 and we got:

[tex]a=150 +0.674*8.75=155.90[/tex]

Part b

We can find the quantile in the normal standard distribution who accumulate 0.99 of the area below and we got z=2.33.

And we can apply the z score formula and we got:

[tex]z=2.33<\frac{a-150}{8.75}[/tex]

And if we solve for a we got

[tex]a=150 +2.33*8.75=170.39[/tex]

And represent a value who accumulate 99% of the values below

Answer:

5-i

Step-by-step explanation:

Product=multiplication

Let the complex number=x

(3+2i)*x=17+7i

x=17+7i / 3+2i

x=(17-7i)*(3-2i)/(3+2i)*(3+2i)

=51-34i+21i+14i^2 / 9+6i+6i+4i^2

=51+13i+14i^2 / 9+12i+4i^2

= (51+14 - 13i) / 13

= (65 -13i) / 13

= 65 / 13 - 13 i / 13

= 5 - i.

Answer:

As  [tex]{x \to \infty}, \,\,{f(x) \to -\infty[/tex]  and as  [tex]{x \to -\infty}, \,\,{f(x) \to \infty[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Please look at the plotted points in the attached image. There we see that as x grows toward infinity (to the right), the values for f(x) seem to become more negative (so f(x) seems to go towards  minus infinity).

As we move towards the left with values of x (x going towards negative infinity, f(x) seems to become more and more positive (grow toward infinity)

Answer:

[tex]E_{A} =0.25*160=40[/tex]  

[tex]E_{B} =0.25*160=40[/tex]

[tex]E_{C} =0.4*160=64[/tex]

[tex]E_{D} =0.05*160=8[/tex]  

[tex]E_{F} =0.05*160=8[/tex]  

And now we can calculate the statistic:  

[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{(36-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(42-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(60-64)^2}{64}+\frac{(14-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(8-8)^2}{8} =5.25[/tex]  

The answer would be:

c. 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The observed values are given by:

A: 36

B: 42

C: 60

D: 14

E: 8

Total =160

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:  

H0: There is no difference in the proportions for the final grades

H1: There is a difference in the proportions for the final grades

The level of significance assumed for this case is [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex]  

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:  

[tex]\chi^2 =\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}[/tex]  

Now we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula [tex]E_i = \% * total[/tex]  

And the calculations are given by:  

[tex]E_{A} =0.25*160=40[/tex]  

[tex]E_{B} =0.25*160=40[/tex]

[tex]E_{C} =0.4*160=64[/tex]

[tex]E_{D} =0.05*160=8[/tex]  

[tex]E_{F} =0.05*160=8[/tex]  

And now we can calculate the statistic:  

[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{(36-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(42-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(60-64)^2}{64}+\frac{(14-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(8-8)^2}{8} =5.25[/tex]  

The answer would be:

c. 5.25

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:  

[tex]df=(categories-1)=(5-1)=4[/tex]

And we can calculate the p value given by:  

[tex]p_v = P(\chi^2_{4} >5.25)=0.263[/tex]  

The p value is higher than the significance so we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis

Answer:

The volume of the crystal is [tex]V=125 \:cm^3[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume enclosed by a cube is the number of cubic units that will exactly fill a cube.

To find the volume of a cube recall that a cube has all edges the same length. The volume of a cube is found by multiplying the length of any edge by itself three times. Or as a formula

                                                         [tex]V=s^3[/tex]

where:

s is the length of any edge of the cube.

From the information given we know that the crystal has edge lengths of 5 centimeters. Therefore, the volume of the crystal is

[tex]V=5^3=125 \:cm^3[/tex].

Answer:

Option (2). 14 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to get the area of a circle 'A' = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]

where r = radius of the circle

Given in the question,

Area of the circle = 153.86 square meters

By putting the values in the formula,

153.86 = πr²

r = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{153.86}{\pi } }[/tex]

r = [tex]\sqrt{49}[/tex]

r = 7 meters

Diameter of circle = 2 × (radius of the circle)

                              = 2 × 7

                              = 14 meters

Therefore, diameter of the circle is 14 meters.

Option B is correct.

It is reasonable to believe that the mean magnesium ion concentration may be greater than 199.5 as the confidence interval obtained contains values that are greater than 199.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

Six measurements were made of the magnesium ion concentration (in parts per million, or ppm) in a city's municipal water supply, with the following results. It is reasonable to assume that the population is approximately normal.

170 201 199 202 173 153

Based on a 95% confidence interval for the mean magnesium ion concentration, is it reasonable to believe that the mean magnesium ion concentration may be greater than 199.5? (Hint: you should first calculate the 95% confidence interval for the mean magnesium ion concentration.)

A) The likelihood cannot be determined.

B) Yes

C) No

Solution

For this question, obtaining the confidence interval will give a clear solution to the problem.

Since the Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence, if the range obtained contains values greater than the standard we are comparing against (199.5), then the confidence interval proves that the mean magnesium ion may be greater than 199.5.

But to obtain the confidence interval, we need the mean and standard deviation for the sample.

170, 201, 199, 202, 173, 153

Mean = (sum of variables)/(total number of variables)

Sum of variables = 170+201+199+202+173+153 = 1098

Total number of variables = 6

Mean = (1098/6) = 183

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

x = each variable

xbar = mean = 183

N = number of variables = 6

Σ(x - xbar)² = (170-183)² + (201-183)² + (199-183)² + (202-183)² + (173-183)² + (153-183)²

= 169 + 324 + 256 + 361 + 100 + 900

= 2110

σ = √(2110/6) = 18.75

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Sample Mean = 183

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

Critical value will be obtained using the t-distribution. This is because there is no information provided for the population mean and standard deviation.

To find the critical value from the t-tables, we first find the degree of freedom and the significance level.

Degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5.

Significance level for 95% confidence interval

(100% - 95%)/2 = 2.5% = 0.025

t (0.025, 5) = 2.57 (from the t-tables)

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

σ = standard deviation of the sample = 18.75

n = sample size = 6

σₓ = (18.75/√6) = 7.656

95% Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)]

CI = 183 ± (2.57 × 7.656)

CI = 183 ± 19.675

95% CI = (163.325, 202.675)

95% Confidence interval = (163.3, 202.7)

It is reasonable to believe that the mean magnesium ion concentration may be greater than 199.5 as the confidence interval obtained contains values that are greater than 199.5

Answer:

The width or range of the confidence interval with sample size 200 will be about half of that of the confidence interval with sample 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

- For the two random samples, of sizes 50 and 200, the Central limit theorem allows us to say that the sample mean is approximately equal to the population mean as this random sample satisfies the condition of being a simple random sample and a distribution obtained from a normal distribution.

- Making the right assumption that population standard deviation is known and z-distribution is used to find the critical value

Critical value for 95% = 1.96

The critical value for both samples are the same then.

- Standard Error of the mean = σₓ = (σ/√n)

where σ = population standard deviation

n = sample size

For the two distributions

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (Standard Error of the mean)

(Sample mean)₅₀ = (Sample mean)₂₀₀

(Critical value)₅₀ = (Critical value)₂₀₀

(Standard Error of the mean)₅₀ = (σ/√50) = 0.1414σ

(Standard Error of the mean)₂₀₀ = (σ/√200) = 0.0707σ

0.1414σ = 2 × 0.0707σ

(Standard Error of the mean)₅₀ = 2 × (Standard Error of the mean)₂₀₀

(Standard Error of the mean)₅₀ > (Standard Error of the mean)₂₀₀

Hence,

(Margin of Error)₅₀ > (Margin of Error)₂₀₀

(Margin of Error)₅₀ = 2 × (Margin of Error)₂₀₀

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Hence, the width or range of the confidence interval with sample size 50 will be about two times larger than the confidence interval with sample 200.

Hello!

An ANOVA was conducted to analyze the variable

Y: sales of "People" magazine over a 5-week period

This was studied in 4 Borders outlets in Chicago.

So this test has one factor: "Borders outlets" and four treatments: "Store 1, store 2, store 3 and store 4"

For each store you have the data for the weekly sales over a 5-week period so the sample sizes are:

n₁=n₂=n₃=n₄= 5 weeks

Store 1

∑X₁= 540; ∑X₁²= 58434

X[bar]₁= 108

S₁²= 28.50

S₁= 5.34

Store 2

∑X₂= 437; ∑X₂²= 38663

X[bar]₂= 87.40

S₂²= 117.30

S₂= 10.83

Store 3

∑X₃= 455; ∑X₃²= 41899

X[bar]₃= 91

S₃²= 123.50

S₃= 11.11

Store 4

∑X₄=505; ∑X₄²= 51429

X[bar]₄= 101

S₄²= 106

S₄= 10.30

Totals

N= n₁ + n₂ + n₃ + n₄= 4*5= 20

∑Mean= 108+87.40+91+101= 387.4

∑Variance= 28.50+117.30+123.50+106= 375.30

∑Standard deviation= 5.34+10.83+11.11+10.30= 37.58

Hypothesis test:

H₀: μ₁= μ₂= μ₃= μ₄

H₁: At least one population mean is different.

α: 0.05

The statistic for this test is

[tex]F= \frac{MS_{Treatments}}{MS_{Error}} ~~F_{k-1;N-k}[/tex]

k-1= 3 Df of the treatments, k=4 number of treatments

N-k= 16 Df of errors, N=20 total number of observations in all treatments

[tex]F_{H_0}= \frac{441.78}{93.83}= 4.71[/tex]

The critical region and p-value for this test are one-tailed to the right.

Using the critical value approach:

[tex]F_{k-1;N-k;1-\alpha }= F_{3;16;0.95}= 3.25[/tex]

The decision rule is:

If [tex]F_{H_0}[/tex] ≥ 3.25, reject the null hypothesis.

If [tex]F_{H_0}[/tex] < 3.25, do not reject the null hypothesis.

Using the p-value approach:

Little reminder: The p-value is defined as the probability corresponding to the calculated statistic if possible under the null hypothesis (i.e. the probability of obtaining a value as extreme as the value of the statistic under the null hypothesis).

So under the distribution F₃,₁₆ you have to calculate the probability of the calculated  [tex]F_{H_0}[/tex]:

P(F₃,₁₆≥4.71)= 1 - P(F₃,₁₆<4.71)= 1 - 0.9847 = 0.0153

p-value= 0.0153

The decision rule for this approach is

If p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis.

If p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis.

The p-value is less than the level of significance, so the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Answer:

The number of the class containing the  largest score can be found in frequency  24 and the class is  98 - 103

For the third class 78 - 83 ; the upper limit = 83

The class width for this histogram 5

The number of students that took the exam simply refers to the frequency is  84

The percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is 53%

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective of this question is to use the following histogram that shows the exam scores for a Pre-algebra class to answer the question given:

NOW;

The table given in the question can be illustrated as follows:

S/N           Class                Score          Frequency

1                 68  - 73            70.5           0

2                73 - 78             75.5           4

3                78 - 83             80.5           8

4                83 - 88             85.5           12

5                88 - 93            90.5           16

6                93 - 98            95.5           20

7                98 - 103           100.5          24                            

TOTAL:                                                 84

a) The number of the class containing the  largest score can be found in frequency  24 and the class is  98 - 103

b) For the third class 78 - 83 ; the upper limit = 83  ( since the upper limit is derived by addition of  5 to the last number showing  in the highest value specified by the number in the class interval which is 78 ( i.e 78 + 5 = 83))

c)   The class width for this histogram 5 ; since it  is the difference  between the upper and lower boundaries  limit of the given class.

So , from above the difference in any of the class will definitely result into 5

d) The number of students that took the exam simply refers to the frequency ; which is (0+4+8+12+16+20+24) = 84

e) Lastly; the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is ;

⇒[tex]\dfrac{20+24}{84} *100[/tex]

= 0.5238095 × 100

= 52.83

To the nearest percentage ;the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is 53%

Answer:

1. 98-103 (6th class)

2. 88

3. 5

4. 84

5. 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached the frequency table.

The class of exam scores falls between (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).

The exam score ranged from 68-103

1) The largest number of exam scores = 24

The largest number of exam scores is in the 6th class = 98 -103

Step 2 of 5:

The upper class limit is the higher number in an interval. Third class interval is 83-88

The upper class limit of the third class 88.

Step 3 of 5:

Class width = upper class limit - lower class limit

We can use any of the class interval to find this as the answer will be the same. Using the interval between 73-78

Class width = 78 - 73

Class width for the histogram = 5

Step 4 of 5:

The total of students that took the test = sum of all the frequency

= 0+4+8+12+16+20+24 = 84

The total of students that took the test = 84

Step 5 of 5:Find the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5

Number of student that scored higher than 95.5 = 20 + 24 = 44

Percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 = [(Number of student that scored higher than 95.5)/(total number of students that took the test)] × 100

= (44/84) × 100 = 0.5238 × 100 = 52.38%

Percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 = 52% (nearest percent)

[tex] (x+11)^2 = (x+3)^2 +16^2[/tex]

And if we solve this equation for x we got:

[tex] x^2 +22x +121 = x^2 +6x +9 +256[/tex]

We can cancel [tex]x^2[/tex] in both sides and we have this:

[tex] 22x -6x= 256+9-121 =144[/tex]

And then we got:

[tex] 16 x= 144[/tex]

[tex] x =\frac{144}{16}= 9[/tex]

And then the length of the sides are 9+11= 20 m for the hypothenuse, 16 for the adjacent side and 9+3 = 12m for the last side.

Lenght of the smaller unknown side: 12m

Lenght of the larger unknown side: 20m

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have a right triangle and we can use the Pythagoras Theorem and using the info given by the triangle we can set up the following equation:

[tex] (x+11)^2 = (x+3)^2 +16^2[/tex]

And if we solve this equation for x we got:

[tex] x^2 +22x +121 = x^2 +6x +9 +256[/tex]

We can cancel [tex]x^2[/tex] in both sides and we have this:

[tex] 22x -6x= 256+9-121 =144[/tex]

And then we got:

[tex] 16 x= 144[/tex]

[tex] x =\frac{144}{16}= 9[/tex]

And then the length of the sides are 9+11= 20 m for the hypothenuse, 16 for the adjacent side and 9+3 = 12m for the last side side.

Lenght of the smaller unknown side: 12m

Lenght of the larger unknown side: 20m

1. OSHA is an agency responsible for workplace safety, read its rule and sketch a  diagram that shows the proper relationship between the ladder, wall and ground .

Rule: Non-self-supporting ladders, which must lean against a wall or other support, are to be positioned at such an angle  that the horizontal distance from the top support to the foot of the ladder is about the 1/4 working length of the ladder.

2. Calculate the angle that the ladder makes with the ground using a trigonometric ratio.

3. If a ladder is x feet long, how high up a wall can it safely reach?

4. Would a 51-foot ladder be long enough to climb a 50-foot wall?

Answer:

(a)See attachment

(b)75.52 degrees

(c)[tex]Height ,h=\dfrac{x\sqrt{15}}{4} $ feet[/tex]

(d) NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Let the length of the ladder =x

Since by the given rule, Horizontal Distance =[tex]\dfrac14$ of the length of the ladder[/tex]

Horizontal Distance = [tex]\dfrac14x[/tex]

In the sketch of the problem attached below,

Part 2

From Triangle ABC

[tex]\cos C=\dfrac{BC}{AC} \\\cos C=\dfrac{x/4}{x} \\\cos C=\dfrac{1}{4}\\ C=\arccos \dfrac{1}{4}\\C \approx 75.52^\circ[/tex]

The angle that the ladder makes with the ground is 75.52 degrees.

Part 3

If the ladder is x feet long

Using Pythagoras theorem in Triangle ABC below

[tex]x^2=(x/4)^2+h^2\\h^2=x^2-\dfrac{x^2}{16}\\ h^2=\dfrac{15x^2}{16}\\h=\sqrt{\dfrac{15x^2}{16}} \\h=\dfrac{x\sqrt{15}}{4}$ feet[/tex]

Part 4

If x=51 feet

[tex]Height ,h=\dfrac{51\sqrt{15}}{4}$ = 49.38 feet[/tex]

Therefore, a 51 feet ladder would not be enough to climb a 50 feet wall as it would violate the safety rule.

Answer:

3. 72.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call M the event that the customer is male and C the event that the customer prefer chocolate chips Scones.

So, the probability P(M∪C) that a customer chosen at random will be a male or prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones is calculated as:

P(M∪C) = P(M) + P(C) - P(M∩C)

Then, there are 145 males (317 customer - 172 females = 145 males), so the probability that the customer is a males is:

P(M) = 145/317 = 0.4574

There are 167 customers that prefer chocolate chips Scones ( 317 customers - 150 customers that prefer the Cranberry Walnut Scones = 167), so the probability that a customer prefer chocolate chips Scones is:

P(C) = 167/317 = 0.5268

Finally, 81 customers were males and prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones, so the probability that a customer will be a male and prefer chocolate  chip scones is:

P(M∩C) = 81/317 = 0.2555

Therefore,  P(M∪C) is equal to:

P(M∪C) = 0.4574 + 0.5268 - 0.2555

P(M∪C) = 0.7287

P(M∪C) = 72.9%

Answer:

3. 72.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

Male or prefers the Chocolate Chip Scones. That is, males and females who prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones.

There are 172 female customers and 317-172 = 145 male customers.

150 customers prefer the Cranberry Walnut Scones. So 317 - 150 = 167 customers prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones.

81 of those are male, so 167 - 81 = 86 are female.

So the total of desired outcomes is 86 + 145 = 231

Total outcomes:

317 total customers.

Probability:

231/317 = 0.729

So the correct answer is:

3. 72.9%
