Approximately 1.65 million high school students take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) each year and nearly 80% of the college and universities without open admissions policies use SAT scores in making admission decisions (College Board, March 2009). The current version of the SAT includes three parts: reading comprehension, mathematics, and writing. A perfect combined score for all three parts is 2400. A sample of SAT scores for the combined three-part SAT are as follows:
1665 1275 1650 1590 1475 1490
1525 2135 1560 1880 1680 1560
1355 1280 1150 1420 14409 4016
4510 6014 8517 5512 6013 9017
8015 8519 901 3751 7301 1755
Required:
a. Show a frequency distribution and histogram. Begin with the first class starting at 800 and use a class width of 200.
b. Comment on the shape of the distribution.
c. What other observations can be made about the SAT scores based on the tabular and graphical summaries?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The sample shows the scores for the combined three-part SAT.
Raw data in first attachment.
a.
To arrange the data in a frequency table using class intervals you have to determine the number of intervals you want to use and calculate their width. In this case, the width is given and so is the lower limit of the first interval, you calculate the successive limits by adding the width. The lower limit of the next interval will be the upper limit of the previous one:
1) 800 + 200= 100
First interval [800; 1000)
2) 1000 + 200
Second interval
[1000; 1200)
And so on until you reach the maximum value of the data set,
[1200; 1400)
[1400; 1600)
[1600; 1800)
[1800; 2000)
[2000; 2200)
Then you have to order the data from least to greatest and count how many observations correspond to each value, this way you'll determine the observed frequency for each interval.
Table and histogram in second attachment.
b.
As you can see in the histogram, this distribution is symmetrical centered in the interval [1400; 1600) and there are no outliers observed.
c.
Values around 1400-1600 are the most common ones while scores around 800-1000 or 2000-2200 are more uncommon, in this sample it seems the probability to obtain a perfect score for the combined three-part SAT is extremely low.
I hope you have a nice day!

The random variable x represents the number of computers that families have along with the corresponding probabilities. Find the mean and standard deviation for the random variable x.
Answers
Answer:
The correct option is (d).
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is:
The random variable x represents the number of computers that families have along with the corresponding probabilities. Use the probability distribution table below to find the mean and standard deviation for the random variable x.
x : 0 1 2 3 4
p (x) : 0.49 0.05 0.32 0.07 0.07
(a) The mean is 1.39 The standard deviation is 0.80
(b) The mean is 1.39 The standard deviation is 0.64
(c)The mean is 1.18 The standard deviation is 0.64
(d) The mean is 1.18 The standard deviation is 1.30
Solution:
The formula to compute the mean is:
[tex]\text{Mean}=\sum x\cdot p(x)[/tex]
Compute the mean as follows:
[tex]\text{Mean}=\sum x\cdot p(x)[/tex]
[tex]=(0\times 0.49)+(1\times 0.05)+(2\times 0.32)+(3\times 0.07)+(4\times 0.07)\\\\=0+0.05+0.64+0.21+0.28\\\\=1.18[/tex]
The mean of the random variable x is 1.18.
The formula to compute variance is:
[tex]\text{Variance}=E(X^{2})-[E(X)]^{2}[/tex]
Compute the value of E (X²) as follows:
[tex]E(X^{2})=\sum x^{2}\cdot p(x)[/tex]
[tex]=(0^{2}\times 0.49)+(1^{2}\times 0.05)+(2^{2}\times 0.32)+(3^{2}\times 0.07)+(4^{2}\times 0.07)\\\\=0+0.05+1.28+0.63+1.12\\\\=3.08[/tex]
Compute the variance as follows:
[tex]\text{Variance}=E(X^{2})-[E(X)]^{2}[/tex]
[tex]=3.08-(1.18)^{2}\\\\=1.6876[/tex]
Then the standard deviation is:
[tex]\text{Standard deviation}=\sqrt{\text{Variance}}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{1.6876}\\\\=1.2990766\\\\\approx 1.30[/tex]
Thus, the mean and standard deviation for the random variable x are 1.18 and 1.30 respectively.
The correct option is (d).

Answers
Answer:
x= y^2+4y+4
Step-by-step explanation:
x= (y+2)(y+2)
x= y^2+2y+2y+4
x= y^2+4y+4
Answer:
X = y^2 + 4y + 4
Y= (√X) -2
Step-by-step explanation:
X = (Y+2)^2
X = (Y+2)(Y+2)
X = Y^2 + 4y + 4
X = (Y+2)^2
√X = √(Y+2)^2 (taking the root of both sides cancels the exponent)
√X = Y+2
-2 -2
(√X) - 2 = Y
or
Y = (√X) - 2

intext:"A shipment of 50 inexpensive digital watches, including 6 that are defective, is sent to a department store. The receiving department selects 10 at random for testing and rejects the whole shipment if 1 or more in the sample are found defective. What is the probability that the shipment will be rejected?"
Answers
Answer:
0.7125
Step-by-step explanation:
The binomial distribution with parameters n and p is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes (with probability p) in a sequence of n independent events.
The probability of getting exactly x successes in n independent Bernoulli trials = [tex]n_{C_{x}}(p)^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Total number of watches in the shipment = 50
Number of defective watches = 6
Number of selected watches = 10
Let X denotes the number of defective digital watches such that the random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n and p.
So,
Probability of defective watches = [tex]\frac{X}{n}=\frac{6}{50}=0.12[/tex]
Take n = 10 and p = 0.12
Probability that the shipment will be rejected = [tex]P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X=0)[/tex]
[tex]=1-n_{C_{x}}(p)^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\=1-10_{C_{0}}(0.12)^0(1-0.12)^{10-0}[/tex]
Use [tex]n_{C_{x}}=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
So,
Probability that the shipment will be rejected = [tex]=1-\left ( \frac{10!}{0!(10-0)!} \right )(0.88)^{10}[/tex]
[tex]=1-(0.88)^{10}\\=1-0.2785\\=0.7125[/tex]

Find the x-intercept(s) and the coordinates of the vertex for the parabola.
Answers
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = x² - 2x - 8
To find the x- intercepts let y = 0 , that is
x² - 2x - 8 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
x- intercepts : x = - 2, x = 4
The x- coordinate of the vertex is mid way between the x- intercepts, that is
[tex]x_{vertex}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2+4}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex] = 1
Substitute x = 1 into the equation for corresponding y- coordinate
y = 1² - 2(1) - 8 = 1 - 2 - 8 = - 9
vertex = (1, - 9 )

Ans:
Answers
Answer:
GH¢.37480.36
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount invested at 12% per annum =GH¢.x
He invested 580.00 more than the first at 14%.
Therefore:
The amount invested at 14% =GH¢.(x+580)
For each investment option:
Amount Accrued =Principal + Simple Interest
Amount Accrued at 12%
[tex]=x+x*0.12\\=1.12x[/tex]
Amount Accrued at 14%
[tex]=(x+580)+0.14(x+580)\\=x+580+0.14x+81.2\\=1.14x+661.2[/tex]
Mr. Azu had total accumulated amount of GH42,358.60
Therefore:
1.12x+1.14x+661.2=42,358.60
2.26x=42,358.60-661.2
2.26x=41697.4
x=GH¢.18450.18
Therefore:
The amount invested at 12% per annum= GH¢.18450.18
The amount invested at 14% per annum= GH¢.18450.18+580
=GH¢.19030.18
Mr Azu's Total Investment = 18450.18 +19030.18

Area of the figure = 169.5 yards²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of Rectangle = Length × Width
Area of triangle = 1/2(base × height)
We'll divide the whole figure into parts so that we can find the area more easily!
Rectangle 1 (uppermost):
10 × 4 = 40 yards²
Square 1 (right below the rectangle 1):
7 × 7 = 49 yards²
Rectangle 2 (with square 1):
7 × 3 = 21 yards²
Triangle 1 (Below rectangle 2):
1/2(17 × 7) = 119/2 = 59.5 yards²
Now adding up all to get the area of the whole figure:
Area of the figure = 40 + 49 + 21 + 59.5
Area of the figure = 169.5 yards²

Answers
Answer:
The price that maximizes the profits from the sale of the product is $60.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since selling necklaces at $ 40 allows a total amount of 500 sales per week, while a price of $ 60 allows 400 sales at the same time, the following calculations must be made to determine the price that maximizes sales performance:
40 x 500 = $ 20,000
60 x 400 = $ 24,000
50 x 450 = $ 22,500
55 x 425 = $ 23,375
58 x 410 = $ 23,780
59 x 405 = $ 23,895
As can be seen from the calculations developed, the price that maximizes the profits from the sale of the product is $60.

Given: AB || DE , AD bisects BE.
Prove: ABC = DEC using the ASA postulate.
Answers
Answer:
As per ASA postulate, the two triangles are congruent.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two triangles:
[tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] and [tex]\triangle DEC[/tex].
AD bisects BE.
AB || DE.
Let us have a look at two properties.
1. When two lines are parallel and a line intersects both of them, then alternate angles are equal.
i.e. AB || ED and [tex]\angle B[/tex] and [tex]\angle E[/tex] are alternate angles [tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\angle B = \angle E[/tex].
2. When two lines are cutting each other, angles formed at the crossing of two, are known as Vertically opposite angles and they are are equal.
[tex]\Rightarrow \angle ACB = \angle DCE[/tex]
Also, it is given that AD bisects BE.
i.e. EC = CB
1. [tex]\angle B = \angle E[/tex]
2. EC = CB
3. [tex]\angle ACB = \angle DCE[/tex]
So, we can in see that in [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] and [tex]\triangle DEC[/tex], two angles are equal and side between them is also equal to each other.
Hence, proved that [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] [tex]\cong[/tex] [tex]\triangle DEC[/tex].

Q 4.19: To verify whether there are negative consequences of taking a new type of medicine, 3000 tests were conducted. Assume that the null hypothesis is that the new medicine has no negative effects and the alternative hypothesis is that the new medicine is potentially harmful. 31 of these tests gave significant results at a 1% significance level. What can we say about the potential harmfulness of the new medicine
Answers
Answer:
The p-value obtained is less than the significance level at which the test was performed at, hence, we reject the null hypothesis, accept the alternative hypothesis & say that there is enough evidence to conclude that the the new medicine is potentially harmful.
Step-by-step explanation:
The null hypothesis plays the devil's advocate and usually takes the form of the opposite of the theory to be tested. It usually contains the signs =, ≤ and ≥ depending on the directions of the test.
While, the alternative hypothesis usually confirms the the theory being tested by the experimental setup. It usually contains the signs ≠, < and > depending on the directions of the test.
For this question, the null hypothesis is that the new medicine has no negative effects and the alternative hypothesis is that the new medicine is potentially harmful
Mathematically,
The null hypothesis is represented as
H₀: p = 0
The alternative hypothesis is represented as
Hₐ: p > 0
To do this test, we will use the z-distribution because although no information on the population standard deviation is known, the sample size is large enough.
So, we compute the test statistic
z = (x - μ)/σₓ
x = sample proportion = (31/3000) = 0.0103
μ = p₀ = 0
σₓ = standard error = √[p(1-p)/n]
where n = Sample size = 3000
σₓ = √[0.0103×0.9897/3000] = 0.0018462936 = 0.0018463
z = (0.0103 - 0) ÷ 0.0018463
z = 5.60
checking the tables for the p-value of this test statistic
Significance level = 1% = 0.01
The hypothesis test uses a one-tailed condition because we're testing only in one direction.
p-value (for z = 5.60, at 0.01 significance level, with a one tailed condition) = < 0.00001
The interpretation of p-values is that
When the (p-value > significance level), we fail to reject the null hypothesis and when the (p-value < significance level), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.
So, for this question, significance level = 0.01
p-value = < 0.00001
p-value < 0.00001 < 0.10
Hence,
p-value < significance level
This means that we reject the null hypothesis, accept the alternative hypothesis & say that there is enough evidence to conclude that the the new medicine is potentially harmful.
