Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Null hypothesis: u = 10
Alternative hypothesis: u =/ 10
Using the formula: t = (x - u) / (s /√n)
Where x = 12, u = 10, s = 5 and n = 25
t= (12-10) / (5/√25)
t = (2)/(5/5)
t = 2/1= 2
t = 2.0
At a 0.01 level of significance with a degree of freedom of 24, the p-value is 0.0569, which is greater than 0.01 we will fail to reject the null and conclude that parents do not read more than the average number of books to their children
If theta=3pi/4
Sin theta=?
Cos theta=?
Answer:
For ease of writing, θ [tex]=x[/tex]
[tex]sin(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]
[tex]cos(x)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Our angle is [tex]x=\frac{3\pi }{4}[/tex]
To find our answers for [tex]sin(\frac{3\pi}{4} )[/tex] and [tex]cos(\frac{3\pi}{4} )[/tex], we will need to use a unit circle. (I have attached the image of one).
Recall that the [tex]sin[/tex] of an angle is equal to the y-value of the corresponding ordered pair.
And the [tex]cos[/tex] of an angle is equal to the x-value of the corresponding ordered pair.
For the angle [tex]x=\frac{3\pi }{4}[/tex], the ordered pair is [tex](-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} }, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } )[/tex]
This means that
[tex]sin(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]
[tex]cos(x)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]
Suppose that a researcher is planning a new study on hemoglobin levels amongst women under 25 years old. Previous research suggest that the standard deviation of hemoglobin is 0.7 g/dl. In the new study the research wants to have the standard error for the sample mean to be no more than 0.05 g/dl. Find the required sample size for the new study.
Answer:
A sample size of at least 531 is required.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are lacking the confidence level to solve this question, so i am going to use a 90% confidence level.
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].
So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.645[/tex]
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
Find the required sample size for the new study.
A sample size of at least n is required.
n is found when [tex]M = 0.05[/tex]
We have that [tex]\sigma = 0.7[/tex]
So
[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.05 = 1.645*\frac{0.7}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.7[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.7}{0.05}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.645*0.7}{0.05})^{2}[/tex]
[tex]n = 530.4[/tex]
Rounding up
A sample size of at least 531 is required.

Will give Brainliest Talia took the bus from her home to the bank and then walked back to her home along the same route. The round trip took 0.9 hours total. The bus traveled at an average speed of 40 km/h and she walked at an average speed of 5 km/h. The rate of Trip 2 is blank km/h. The time of Trip 1 is blank hours.
Answer:
The rate of trip 2 is 5 km/h
The time of trip 1 is 0.9-x
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of trip 2 is 5 km/h because it tells you she walked at an avg speed of 5 km/h.
The time of trip 1 is 0.9-x. It's because the time in trip 2 is x, and it says the total is 0.9. So just subtract 0.9-x.

The range is 4.
What are the three numbers? Write them in the boxes, from smallest to larges
O
INN
Answer:
7, 7, 11 are the three numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Mode of the three numbers = 7
Range of numbers i.e. difference between the smallest and the largest number is = 4
Value of highest number card [tex]\neq[/tex] 7
As per the definition of Mode:
Mode is the number that occurs the most number of times in the given set of numbers. In other words, mode is the number whose frequency is the highest in the given set of numbers.
Here, we have three numbers and mode is 7 that means 7 occurs at least two times in the three numbers.
Also, we are given that 7 is not highest number, plus 4 is the range that means 7 occurs exactly two times out of three numbers.
So, two numbers are 7 and 7.
7 is not highest and 4 is the range, so third number = 7+4 = 11
So, the numbers on the cards are 7, 7 and 11.

Angle 6= (11x+8) and angle 7=(12x-4) what is the measure of angle 4
Answer:
Answer is m∠4=40
Step-by-step explanation:
take note that m∠6 & m∠7 are vertical angles. Vertical angles are equal to each other, therefore m∠6 is equal to m∠7.
m∠6 = m∠7 (vertical angles)
11x + 8 = 12x – 4
12x - 11x = 8 + 4
x = 12
so
m∠6 = 11x + 8
m∠6 = 11(12) + 8
m∠6 = 132 + 8
m∠6 = 140
m∠4 = 180 - m<6
m∠4 = 180 - 140
m∠4 = 40

Mario’s Restaurant is planning to tile the floor of their outdoor dining area, represented by the composite figure below. The tile costs $1.50 per square foot. How much should the restaurant plan to spend on tile to complete the job?
Answer:
Cost of tiling the floor of the restaurant = $346.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Mario's restaurant is in the shape of a composite figure.
Area of the composite figure = Area of the rectangle + Area of trapezoid
Area of the rectangle = 3 × 9
= 27 square feet
Area of the trapezoid = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(b_{1}+b_{2}).h[/tex]
Here [tex]b_{1}[/tex] and [tex]b_{2}[/tex] are the parallel sides of the trapezoid and 'h' is the distance between these sides.
Area of the trapezoid = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[12+(31-9)]\times 12[/tex]
= 17 × 12
= 204 square feet
Total area of the floor = 27 + 204
= 231 square feet
Cost of the tiles = $1.5 per square feet
Total Cost of tiling the floor of Mario's restaurant will be,
= per square feet cost × Area of the floor
= 1.50 × 231
= $346.5

A construction company has to complete a project no later than 4 months from now or there will be significant cost overruns. The manager of the construction company believes that there are four possible values for the random variable X, the number of months from now it will take to complete this project: 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5. It is currently believed that the probabilities of these four possibilities are .4, .3, .2, and .1, respectively. What is the expected completion time (in months) of this project from now?
Answer:
The expected completion time of this project from now is 2.5 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the expected completion time for the project, we multiply each projection by it's probability.
We have that:
0.4 = 40% probability it takes 2 months to complete the project.
0.3 = 30% probability that it takes 2.5 months to complete the project.
0.2 = 20% probability it takes 3 months to complete the project.
0.1 = 10% probability it takes 3.5 months to complete the project.
What is the expected completion time (in months) of this project from now?
E = 0.4*2 + 0.3*2.5 + 0.2*3 + 0.1*3.5 = 2.5
The expected completion time of this project from now is 2.5 months.
tank contains 20002000 liters (L) of a solution consisting of 112112 kg of salt dissolved in water. Pure water is pumped into the tank at the rate of 1212 L/s, and the mixturelong dash—kept uniform by stirringlong dash—is pumped out at the same rate. How long will it be until only 88 kg of salt remains in the tank?
The time taken in draining salt so that only 88 kg of salt remains in tank will be 35.71 sec.
It is given that a tank contains 2000 liters of a solution consisting 112 kg of salt is dissolved in water. Pure water is then pumped at rate of 12 L/sec.
We have to find out that how long it will take to drain out salt such that only 88kg of salt remains in tank.
What will be the amount of water flow ; if a water flows for 4 hours at constant speed of 120 liter /hour ?
The amount of water flow will be 120 liter / hour × 4 hour or 120 × 4 liter or 480 liters.
As per the question ;
In 2000 liters solution there is 112 kg salt.
The pumping speed of water into tank = 12 L/s
The salt pumping per second will be ;
= ( 12L/s × 112kg salt ) / 2000 L
= 0.672 Kg salt/sec
This means that 0.672 kg per second salt comes out .
It should be found that the amount of salt that must be drained so that only 88 kg of salt remain.
So , the amount of salt drained out will be ; (x kg)
⇒ 112kg salt - x kg salt = 88 kg salt
⇒ x kg salt = 112 - 88
⇒ x kg salt = 24 kg
The time taken until only 88 kg of salt remains in the tank will be ;
= 24 / 0.672
= 35.71 sec
Thus , the time taken in draining salt so that only 88 kg of salt remains in tank will be 35.71 sec.

Standard deviation = 150,000
If we assume that X should be the numbers of impressions created;
Then ;
[tex]X \approx N (\mu , \sigma^2)[/tex]

[tex]P(X>x) = 0.95[/tex]
[tex]P(\dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma} > \dfrac{x -850000}{150000}) = 0.95[/tex]
[tex]P(Z> \dfrac{ x -850000}{150000}) = 0.95[/tex]

Describe the rate of change of f(x)=lnx. Your answer should explain how the slope changes when x is small and when x is large.
Answer:
By plotting the graph of f(x)=lnx, you can conclude that when x is small, dy/dx has a larger value. For instance, the gradient of the curve when x=0.5 is 2. However, as you move along the x axis, you will see that the graph levels off, indicating a decrease in the slope, or dy/dx. For example, if x=10, dy/dx = 0.1 and when x=20, dy/dx= 0.05 and so on. Eventually, when x is large enough the value of dy/dx will be negligible.
Thus, as x increases, the slope decreases.
Answer:
Explanation shown below
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=lnx;
The rate of change is defined as dy/dx;
dy/dx[Inx] = 1/x
and dy/dx is defined as the slope
The nature of the slope is as x increases ; the slope decreases and conversely meaning as x decreases, the slope increases.
A university warehouse has received a shipment of 25 printers, of which 10 are laser printers and 15 are inkjet models. If 6 of these 25 are selected at random to be checked by a particular technician, what is the probability that exactly 3 of those selected are laser printers (so that the other 3 are inkjets)
Answer:
The probability is 0.31
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the probability, we will consider the following approach. Given a particular outcome, and considering that each outcome is equally likely, we can calculate the probability by simply counting the number of ways we get the desired outcome and divide it by the total number of outcomes.
In this case, the event of interest is choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. At first, we have a total of 25 printers and we will be choosing 6 printers at random. The total number of ways in which we can choose 6 elements out of 25 is [tex]\binom{25}{6}[/tex], where [tex]\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}[/tex]. We have that [tex]\binom{25}{6} = 177100[/tex]
Now, we will calculate the number of ways to which we obtain the desired event. We will be choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. So the total number of ways this can happen is the multiplication of the number of ways we can choose 3 printers out of 10 (for the laser printers) times the number of ways of choosing 3 printers out of 15 (for the inkjets). So, in this case, the event can be obtained in [tex]\binom{10}{3}\cdot \binom{15}{3} = 54600[/tex]
So the probability of having 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets is given by
[tex] \frac{54600}{177100} = \frac{78}{253} = 0.31[/tex]
Please help! I don’t get what I’m supposed to put in those boxes
The volume of any cylinder is
V = pi*r^2*h
where r is the radius and h is the height. We are keeping r = 2 the same the entire time, as the first part of the instructions indicate. In contrast, h is allowed to vary or change based on the values shown in the table.
If h = 1, then,
V = pi*r^2*h
V = pi*2^2*1
V = pi*4
V = 4pi
So you'll write "4pi", without quotes of course, in the V column next to h = 1. This first row shows a height of 1 leads to a volume of 4pi.
-------------
Then if h = 2, we have,
V = pi*r^2*h
V = pi*2^2*2
V = pi*8
V = 8pi ... this is written in the second box
and finally if h = 3, we would say,
V = pi*r^2*h
V = pi*2^2*3
V = pi*12
V = 12pi .... and this is placed in the third box
---------------
The values of V we got were: 4pi, 8pi, 12pi
This is for h = 1,2 and 3 respectively in that order.
The sequence 4,8,12 is linear because we are adding 4 each time. More specifically, it fits the equation y = 4x where x = 1,2,3. Think of y = 4x as y = 4x+0 and that fits the slope intercept form y = mx+b.

g Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 10 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 6 ft high
Answer:
0.3537 feet per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 10 ft3/min. Since we are told that the shape formed is a cone, the rate of change of the volume of the cone.
[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt}=10$ ft^3/min[/tex]
[tex]\text{Volume of a cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h[/tex]
If the Base Diameter = Height of the Cone
The radius of the Cone = h/2
Therefore,
[tex]\text{Volume of the cone}=\dfrac{\pi h}{3} (\dfrac{h}{2}) ^2 \\V=\dfrac{\pi h^3}{12}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Rate of Change of the Volume}, \dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}[/tex]
Therefore: [tex]\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=10[/tex]
We want to determine how fast is the height of the pile is increasing when the pile is 6 feet high.
[tex]When h=6$ feet$\\\dfrac{3\pi *6^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=10\\9\pi \dfrac{dh}{dt}=10\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}= \dfrac{10}{9\pi}\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0.3537$ feet per minute[/tex]
When the pile is 6 feet high, the height of the pile is increasing at a rate of 0.3537 feet per minute.

i have a problem on statistics
5. Data on household vehicle miles of travel (VMT) are compiled annually by the Federal Highway Administration and are published in National Household Travel Survey, Summary of Travel Trends. Independent random samples of 15 midwestern households and 14 southern households provided the following data on last year’s VMT, in thousands of miles. At the 5% significance level, does there appear to be a difference in last year’s mean VMT for midwestern and southern households? Use both p-value and critical value approach. Assume population variance to be equal

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The objective is to compare the VMT of mid western households and southwestern households. For this two independent random samples of households from both areas and their VMT were recorded:
Be
X₁: VMT of a mid western household
Midwest
16.2 , 14.6 , 11.2 , 24.4 , 9.4 12.9 , 18.6 , 16.6 , 20.3 ,15.1 , 17.3 , 10.8 , 16.6 , 20.9 , 18.3
n₁= 15
∑X₁= 243.20
∑X₁²= 4175.98
X[bar]₁= 16.21
S₁²= 16.64
S₁= 4.08
X₂: VMT of a southwestern household
22.2, 19.2 , 9.3 , 24.6 ,20.2 , 15.8, 18.0 , 12.2 , 20.1 , 16.0 , 17.5 , 18.2 , 22.8 , 11.5
n₂= 14
∑X₂= 247.60
∑X₂²= 4633.24
X[bar]₂= 17.69
S₂²= 19.56
S₂= 4.42
The parameters of study are the population means, if the claim is that the VMT of households is different in both areas, then you'd expect the population means to be different too.
The hypotheses are:
H₀: μ₁ = μ₂
H₁: μ₁ ≠ μ₂
α: 0.05
Assuming both populations are normal and since both population variances are equal the test to apply is an independent samples t test pooled variance:
[tex]t= \frac{(X[bar]_1-X[bar]2)-(Mu_1-Mu_2)}{Sa*\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } } ~~t_{n_1+n_2-2}[/tex]
[tex]Sa^2= \frac{(n_1-1)S_1^2+(n_2-1)S_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2} = \frac{14*16.67+13*19.56}{15+14-2}= \frac{487.66}{27} = 18.06[/tex]
Sa= 4.249= 4.25
[tex]t_{H_0}= \frac{(16.21-17.69)-0}{4.25*\sqrt{\frac{1}{15} +\frac{1}{14} } }= -0.937= -0.94[/tex]
Critical value approach:
This test is two-tailed, this means that the rejection region is divided in two tails:
[tex]t_{n_1+n_2-2; \alpha /2}= t_{27; 0.025}= -2.052[/tex]
[tex]t_{n_1+n_2-2; 1-\alpha /2}= t_{27; 0.975}= 2.052[/tex]
The decision rule is:
If [tex]t_{H_0}[/tex] ≤ -2.052 or if [tex]t_{H_0}[/tex] ≥ 2.052, reject the null hypothesis.
If -2.052 < [tex]t_{H_0}[/tex] < 2.052, do not reject the null hypothesis.
The calculated value is within the "no rejection region" so the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.
Using the p-value approach:
The p-value is the probability of obtaining a value as extreme as the calculated value of the statistic under the null hypothesis ([tex]t_{H_0}[/tex]). Just as the significance level, the p-value is two tailed, you can calculate it as:
P(t₂₇ ≤ -0.93) + P(t₂₇ ≥ 0.93)= P(t₂₇ ≤ -0.93) + (1 - P(t₂₇ < 0.93)= 0.1796 + ( 1 - 0.8204)= 0.1796*2= 0.3592
p-value= 0.3592
The p-value is always compared to the significance level, the decision rule for this approach is:
If the p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis.
If the p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis.
The p-value is greater than α, so the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.
At a 5% significance level, there is no significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis. You can conclude that the population means of the VMT for households of the Midwest South ers households.
I hope this mhelps!
