A researcher reports that the farther college students are from their parents, the more often they communicate with their parents (either by phone or by e-mail). Is this an example of a positive correlation or a negative correlation?

Complete question is:

Seventy million pounds of trout are grown in the U.S. every year. Farm-raised trout contain an average of 32 grams of fat per pound, with a standard deviation of 7 grams of fat per pound. A random sample of 34 farm-raised trout is selected. The mean fat content for the sample is 29.7 grams per pound. Find the probability of observing a sample mean of 29.7 grams of fat per pound or less in a random sample of 34 farm-raised trout. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.

Answer:

Probability = 0.0277

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Mean: μ = 32

Standard deviation;σ = 7

Random sample number; n = 34

To solve this question, we would use the equation z = (x - μ)/(σ/√n) to find the z value that corresponds to 29.7 grams of fat.

Thus;

z = (29.7 - 32)/(7/√34)

Thus, z = -2.3/1.200490096

z = -1.9159

From the standard z table and confirming with z-calculator, the probability is 0.0277

Thus, the probability to select 34 fish whose average grams of fat per pound is less than 29.7 = 0.0277

Answer:

(A)Decay

(b)0.8

(c)First Term

(d)[tex]f(t)=2000(0.8)^t[/tex]

(e)$819.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for modelling growth or decay is given as:

[tex]A(t)=A_o(1\pm r)^t[/tex],

Where:

Plus indicates growth and minus indicates decay.

[tex]A_o$ is the Initial Value\\r is the growth/decay rate\\t is the time period[/tex]

For a powerful computer that was purchased for $2000, but loses 20% of its value each year.

(a)Since it loses value, it is a decay.

(b)Multiplier

Its value decays by 20%.

Therefore, our multiplier(1-r) =(1-20&)=1-0.2

Multiplier =0.8

(c)$2000 is our First term (or Initial Value [tex]A_o[/tex])

(d)The function for this problem is therefore:

[tex]f(t)=f_o(1- r)^t\\f(t)=2000(1- 0.2)^t\\\\f(t)=2000(0.8)^t[/tex]

(e)Since we require the worth of the computer after 4 years,

t=4 years

[tex]f(4)=2000(0.8)^4\\f(4)=\$819.20[/tex]

Answer:

x = -7.33        OR         x = [tex]\frac{-22}{3}[/tex]

y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

→You can use the substitution method. First, make y by itself in (-2 + 2y = 24):

-2 + 2y = 24

2y = 26

y = 13

→Then, plug in 13 for y into the other equation:

3x + 2y = 4

3x + 2(13) = 4

3x + 26 = 4

3x = -22

x = -7.33        OR         x = [tex]\frac{-22}{3}[/tex]

Answer: The new price of  the car is $41856

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know the the original price as 43,600 which is 100% and is being dropped by 4%  so you would have to subtract 4% from a 100% and multiply it by the original price.

100% - 4% = 96%

Now 96% of the original price is the new price.

96% * 43,600= ?

0.96 * 43,600 = 41856

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective of this surveys is to determine if the two surveys will reach a similar conclusion.

From the data given, we have  two test surveys here:

The survey is to measure the effect of an advertising campaign for a certain brand of detergent.

Now in the first survey; interviewers ask house- wives whether they use that brand of detergent and in the second survey  the interviewers ask to see what detergent is being used.

Let assume that the brand name of the detergent is KLIN ;

From this disparities of statement ; we anticipate that they will reach different conclusion. This is because; from the first survey people will either respond to the fact that they use the brand detergent (KLIN) or do not used the brand detergent. But in the second survey; when being asked to see what detergent that is being used. There are greater chance that they will bring out the detergent that is commonly used  which will eventually result to the same detergent .

Answer:

Population = 34.27336

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Population function (t) = 34(1.00804)^t

Number of year = 2000

Find:

Number of citizen in year 2000

Computation:

We know that, base year is 2000

So, t = 1

Population function (t) = 34(1.00804)^t

Population function (1) = 34(1.00804)^1

Population = 34(1.00804)

Population = 34.27336

Therefore, Population is 34.273636 million

Answer:

part a: 52%

part b: 0.4

part c: 0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

For part one, you find the frequency of the number of people that are less that 20. You add the number of tics in each bar and you divide by the total.

so for part a it is (7+6+9+4)/ (7+6+9+4+4+12+8)

for part b you add up the values that are greater than 25(less than 35)

(12+8)/total

part c you find the number of people between 25 and 30

that's 12

over total

Answer:

  the sum is 01011000₂ = 88

Step-by-step explanation:

For numbers of magnitude less than 128, it is convenient to use an 8-bit representation. I find it works will to convert back and forth through the octal (base-8) representation, as each base-8 digit converts nicely to three (3) base-2 bits.

  61 = 8·7 +5 = 075₈ = 00 111 101₂

  27 = 8·3 +3 = 033₈ = 00 011 011₂

Then ...

  [tex]\begin{array}{cc|ccc}&61&&00111101\\+&27&+&00011011\\ &\overline{88}&&\overline{01011000}\end{array}[/tex]

__

Starting from the right, we can convert the binary back to octal, then to decimal by considering 3 bits at a time:

  01 011 000₂ = 130₈ = 1·8² +3·8 +0 = 64 +24 = 88

The binary sum is the same as the decimal sum.

Answer:

George is 43.20 ft East of his starting point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Paula's speed be x ft/s

George's speed = 9 ft/s

Note that speed = (distance)/(time)

Distance = (speed) × (time)

George takes 50 s to run a lap of the track at a speed of y ft/s

Meaning that the length of the circular track = y × 50 = 50y ft

George and Paula meet 14 seconds after the start of the run.

Distance covered by George in 14 seconds = 9 × 14 = 126 ft

Distance covered by Paula in 14 seconds = y × 14 = 14y ft

But the sum of the distance covered by both runners in the 14 s before they first meet each other is equal to the length of the circular track

That is,

126 + 14y = 50y

50y - 14y = 126

36y = 126

y = (126/36) = 3.5 ft/s.

Hence, Paula's speed = 3.5 ft/s

Length of the circular track = 50y = 50 × 3.5 = 175 ft

So, in 4 minutes (240 s), with George running at 9 ft/s, he would have ran a total distance of

9 × 240 = 2160 ft.

2160 ft around a circular track of length 175 ft, means that George would have ran a total number of laps (2160/175) = 12.343 laps.

Breaking this into 12 laps and 0.343 of a lap from the starting point. 0.343 of a lap = 0.343 × 175 = 60 ft

So, 60 ft along a circular track subtends an angle θ at the centre of the circle.

Length of an arc = (θ/360°) × 2πr

2πr = total length of the circular track = 175

r = (175/2π) = 27.85 ft

Length of an arc = (θ/360) × 2πr

60 = (θ/360°) × 175

(θ/360°) = (60/175) = 0.343

θ = 0.343 × 360° = 123.45°

The image of this incomplete lap is shown in the attached image,

The distance of George from his starting point along the centre of the circular track = (r + a)

But, a can be obtained using trigonometric relations.

Cos 56.55° = (a/r) = (a/27.85)

a = 27.85 cos 56.55° = 15.35 ft

r + a = 27.85 + 15.35 = 43.20 ft.

Hence, George is 43.20 ft East of his starting point.

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

(a)r=15-b

11.9 Inches

(b)See attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the candle =15 inch

Let b represent the burned length of the candle (in inches)

Let r represent the remaining length of the candle (in inches).

Therefore:

(a) r+b=15

r=15-b

When b=3,1 Inches

Remaining Length, r=15-3.1=11.9 Inches

(b)The graph showing te relationship between r and b is shown below.

r is plotted on the y-axis while b is plotted on the x-axis as labelled.

Formula that express r in terms of b is

[tex]r=15-b[/tex]

Remaining length of candle is 11.9 inches

Given :

A 15-inch candle is lit and steadily burns until it is burned out

Let b represent the burned length   and let r represent the remaining length  

We need to write the formula

remaining length = initial length - burned length

[tex]r=15-b[/tex]

When 3.1 inches have burned from the candle, the remaining length of the candle is inches.

b is 3.1

remaining length [tex]r=15-3.1=11.9[/tex] inches

now we graph the relationship

Answer:

The area of the shaded region between [tex] \\ z = 1.23[/tex] and [tex] \\ z = 0.86[/tex] is [tex] \\ P(0.86 < z < 1.23) = 0.08554[/tex] or 8.554%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to find the corresponding probabilities for the standardized values (or z-scores) z = 1.23 and z = 0.86, and then subtract both to obtain the area of the shaded region between these two z-scores.

We need to having into account that a z-score is given by the following formula:

[tex] \\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Where

A z-score indicates the distance of x from the mean in standard deviations units, where a positive value "tell us" that x is above [tex] \\ \mu[/tex], and conversely, a negative that x is below [tex] \\ \mu[/tex].

The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with [tex] \\ \mu = 0[/tex] and [tex] \\ \sigma = 1[/tex], and has probabilities for standardized values obtained using [1]. All these probabilities are tabulated in the standard normal table (available in any Statistical book or on the Internet).

Using the cumulative standard normal table, for [tex] \\ z = 1.23[/tex], the corresponding cumulative probability is:

[tex] \\ P(z<1.23) = 0.89065[/tex]

The steps are as follows:

Following the same procedure, the cumulative probability for [tex] \\ z = 0.86[/tex] is:

[tex] \\ P(z<0.86) = 0.80511[/tex]

Subtracting both probabilities (because we need to know the area between these two values) we finally obtain the corresponding area between them (two z-scores):

[tex] \\ P(0.86 < z < 1.23) = 0.89065 - 0.80511[/tex]

[tex] \\ P(0.86 < z < 1.23) = 0.08554[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the shaded region between [tex] \\ z = 1.23[/tex] and [tex] \\ z = 0.86[/tex] is [tex] \\ P(0.86 < z < 1.23) = 0.08554[/tex] or 8.554%.

We can see this resulting area (red shaded area) in the graph below for a standard normal distribution, [tex] \\ N(0, 1)[/tex], and  [tex] \\ z = 0.86[/tex] and [tex] \\ z = 1.23[/tex].

Answer:

(d - 4) / c

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line in terms of c and d is (d - 4) / c.

Here, we have,

To find the slope of the line in terms of the coordinates of the point (c, d), we can use the slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope.

In the given equation, y = kx + 4, we can see that the coefficient of x is k, which represents the slope of the line.

Since the line contains the point (c, d), we can substitute these values into the equation:

d = kc + 4

To isolate the slope term, we rearrange the equation:

d - 4 = kc

Now, divide both sides by c:

(d - 4) / c = k

Therefore, the slope of the line in terms of c and d is (d - 4) / c.

[tex] E(100 Y^2) =100 E(Y^2)[/tex]

And we have that :

[tex] E(Y^2) =\sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] E(Y^2) =0^2 *0.6 + 1^2 *0.25 +2^2*0.10 +3^2 *0.05 = 1.1[/tex]

And finally we have:

[tex] E(100 Y^2) =100 *1.1 = 110[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probability masss function given:

Y         0           1              2             3

p(Y)    0.6        0.25      0.10         0.05

Probability = 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

For each answer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is correct, or it is not. The probability of an answer being correct is independent of other answers. 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.

Each question has 5 possible answer:

The person guesses, so [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]

2 questions:

This means that [tex]n = 2[/tex]

Find the probability that both responses are correct.

This is P(X = 2).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.04[/tex]

Answer:

Coefficient of variation (weight) = 15%

Coefficient of variation (volume) = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

Population = 200, Average weight = 26 lb,

standard deviation (weight) = 3.9 lb,

Average volume = 8.8 ft³,

standard deviation (volume) = 2.2 ft³

Based on the data given, the manager will have to make a deduction by comparing the relative scatter of both variables due to the different units of measuring weight (pounds) and volume (cubic feet).

To compare the variation of the weight and volume, we use the coefficient of variation given by the formula:

Coefficient of Variation = (Standard deviation ÷ Mean) * 100%

⇒ [tex]C_{v}[/tex] = (σ ÷ μ) * 100%

For weight

σ = 3.9 lb, μ = 26 lb

[tex]C_{v}[/tex] (weight) = (3.9 ÷ 26.0) * 100% = 15%

[tex]C_{v}[/tex] (weight) = 15%

For volume

σ = 2.2 ft³, μ = 8.8 ft³

[tex]C_{v}[/tex] (volume) = (2.2 ÷ 8.8) * 100% = 25%

[tex]C_{v}[/tex] (volume) = 25%

∴ the relative variation of the volume of the package is greater than that of the weight of the package
