Consider the relation S(x, y) : x is a brother or sister of y on the set, H, of living humans. (For the purposes of this problem, a sibling of a person means another person with the same two parents, so don’t consider half siblings.) Determine which of the three properties, reflexive, symmetric, transitive, hold for the relation S (explain your three answers). Is S an equivalence relation on H?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

- Not reflexive

- Symmetric

- Transitive

Step-by-step explanation:

- A person is not a sibling of himself so the relation is NOT reflexive

- If a person is a sibling of an other person, the other person is a sibling of the person. Therefore the relation is SYMMETRIC

- If a person A is a sibling of B, and a person B is a sibling of C then, person A is a sibling of person C. Therefore the relation is TRANSITIVE.

The population P of a culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria is given by P = −1718t2 + 82,000t + 10,000, where t is the time in hours since the culture was started. Determine the time(s) at which the population was 600,000. Round to the nearest hour.

Answers

Answer:

Rounding to the nearest hour, the times at which the population was 600,000 was at 9 hours and at 39 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the time(s) at which the population was 600,000.

This is t for which P(t) = 600000. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

[tex]ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0[/tex].

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]P(t) = -1718t^{2} + 82000t + 10000[/tex]

We have to find t for which P(t) = 600000. Then

[tex]600000 = -1718t^{2} + 82000t + 10000[/tex]

[tex]-1718t^{2} + 82000t - 590000 = 0[/tex]

So [tex]a = -1718, b = 82000, c = -590000[/tex]

Then

[tex]\bigtriangleup = 82000^{2} - 4*(-1718)*(-590000) = 2669520000[/tex]

[tex]t_{1} = \frac{-82000 + \sqrt{2669520000}}{2*(-1718)} = 8.8[/tex]

[tex]t_{2} = \frac{-82000 - \sqrt{2669520000}}{2*(-1718)} = 38.9[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest hour, the times at which the population was 600,000 was at 9 hours and at 39 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective is to find the moment generating  function of  [tex]M_{X+Y}(t) \ of \ X+Y[/tex].

We are being informed that the fair die is rolled twice;

So; X to be the value for the  first roll

Y to be the value of the second roll

The outcomes  of X are:  X = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Where ;

[tex]P (X=x) = \dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

The outcomes  of Y are:  y = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Where ;

[tex]P (Y=y) = \dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

The outcome of Z = X+Y

[tex]= \left[\begin{array}{cccccc}(1,1)&(1,2)&(1,3)&(1,4)&(1,5)&(1,6)\\ (2,1)&(2,2)&(2,3)&(2,4)&(2,5)&(2,6)\\ (3,1)&(3,2)&(3,3)&(3,4)&(3,5)&(3,6) \\ (4,1)&(4,2)&(4,3)&(4,4)&(4,5)&(4,6) \\ (5,1)&(5,2)&(5,3)&(5,4)&(5,5)&(5,6) \\ (6,1)&(6,2)&(6,3)&(6,4)&(6,5)&(6,6) \end{array}\right][/tex]

= [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]

Here;

[tex]P (Z=z) = \dfrac{1}{36}[/tex]

∴ the moment generating function [tex]M_{X+Y}(t) \ of \ X+Y[/tex]is as follows:

[tex]M_{X+Y}(t) \ of \ X+Y[/tex] = [tex]E(e^{t(X+Y)}) = E(e^{tz})[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\sum \limits^{12}_ {z=2 } et ^z \ P(Z=z)[/tex]

= [tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{e^{2t}}{36} + \dfrac{e^{3t}}{18} + \dfrac{e^{4t}}{12} +\dfrac{e^{5t}}{9} + \dfrac{5e^{6t}}{36} + \dfrac{7e^{7t}}{6} + \dfrac{5e^{8t}}{36} + \dfrac{e^{9t}}{9} + \dfrac{e^{10t}}{12} + \dfrac{e^{11t}}{18} + \dfrac{e^{12t}}{36} }[/tex]

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to divide one fraction by another, you must multiply by the reciprocal(the reverse of a certain fraction). the reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1. so:

[tex]\frac{2}{3} / \frac{1}{6}[/tex] =           multiply by the reciprocal of 1/6

[tex]\frac{2}{3} * \frac{6}{1}[/tex] =         cross out

A bottle maker believes that 14% of his bottles are defective. If the bottle maker is accurate, what is the probability that the proportion of defective bottles in a sample of 622 bottles would be less than 11%

Answers

Answer:

[tex] z = \frac{0.11-0.14}{0.0139} = -2.156[/tex]

And we can use the normal standard distribution table and we got:

[tex] P(Z<-2.156) =0.0155[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know the following info given:

[tex] p =0.14[/tex] represent the population proportion

[tex] n = 622[/tex] represent the sample size selected

We want to find the following proportion:

[tex] P(\hat p <0.11)[/tex]

For this case we can use the normal approximation since we have the following conditions:

i) np = 622*0.14 = 87.08>10

ii) n(1-p) = 622*(1-0.14) =534.92>10

The distribution for the sample proportion would be given by:

[tex] \hat p \sim N (p ,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}) [/tex]

The mean is given by:

[tex] \mu_{\hat p}= 0.14[/tex]

And the deviation:

[tex]\sigma_{\hat p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.14*(1-0.14)}{622}}= 0.0139[/tex]

We can use the z score formula given by:

[tex] z=\frac{\hat p -\mu_{\hat p}}{\sigma_{\hat p}}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] z = \frac{0.11-0.14}{0.0139} = -2.156[/tex]

And we can use the normal standard distribution table and we got:

[tex] P(Z<-2.156) =0.0155[/tex]

(a) Find the number of feet that the tree will grow in the second year.
(b) Find the number of feet the tree will grow in the third year.
(c) The total number of feet grown during the second year is_____________ ft.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.5367feetb) 0.5223feetc) 0.7292feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rate at which an eucalyptus tree will grow modelled by the equation 0.5+6/(t+4)³ feet per year, where t is the time (in years).

The amount of growth can be gotten by integrating the given rate equation as shown;

[tex]\int\limits {0.5 + \frac{6}{(t+4)^{3} } } \, dt \\= \int\limits {0.5} \, dt + \int\limits\frac{6}{(t+4)^{3} } } \, dx } \, \\= 0.5t +\int\limits {6u^{-3} } \, du \ where \ u = t+4 \ and\ du = dt\\= 0.5t + 6*\frac{u^{-2} }{-2} + C\\= 0.5t-3u^{-2} +C\\= 0.5t-3(t+4)^{-2} + C[/tex]

a)  The number of feet that the tree will grow in the second year can be gotten by taking the limit of the integral from  t =1 to t = 2

[tex]\int\limits^2_1 {0.5 + \frac{6}{(t+4)^{3} } } \, dt = [0.5t-3(t+4)^{-2}]^2_1\\= [0.5(2)-3(2+4)^{-2}] - [0.5(1)-3(1+4)^{-2}]\\= [1-3(6)^{-2}] - [0.5-3(5)^{-2}]\\ = [1-\frac{1}{12}] - [0.5-\frac{3}{25} ]\\= \frac{11}{12}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{25}\\ = 0.9167 - 0.5 + 0.12\\= 0.5367feet[/tex]

b)  The number of feet that the tree will grow in the third year can be gotten by taking the limit of the integral from  t =2 to t = 3

[tex]\int\limits^3_2 {0.5 + \frac{6}{(t+4)^{3} } } \, dt = [0.5t-3(t+4)^{-2}]^3_2\\= [0.5(3)-3(3+4)^{-2}] - [0.5(2)-3(2+4)^{-2}]\\= [1.5-3(7)^{-2}] - [1-3(6)^{-2}]\\ = [1.5-\frac{3}{49}] - [1-\frac{1}{12} ]\\ = 1.439 - 0.9167\\= 0.5223feet[/tex]

c) The total number of feet grown during the second year can be gotten by substituting the value of limit from t = 0 to t = 2 into the equation as shown

[tex]\int\limits^2_0 {0.5 + \frac{6}{(t+4)^{3} } } \, dt = [0.5t-3(t+4)^{-2}]^2_0\\= [0.5(2)-3(2+4)^{-2}] - [0.5(0)-3(0+4)^{-2}]\\= [1-3(6)^{-2}] - [0-3(4)^{-2}]\\ = [1-\frac{1}{12}] - [-\frac{3}{16} ]\\= \frac{11}{12}+\frac{3}{16}\\ = 0.9167 - 0.1875\\= 0.7292feet[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one is 0.370.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the number of business executives who received a pay raise when they asked for one.

The probability that a business executives received a pay raise when they asked for one is, p = 0.78.

A random sample of n = 4 executives was selected.

The events of any executive receiving a pay raise when they asked for one is independent of the others.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 4 and p = 0.78.

The probability mass function of X is:

[tex]P(X=x)={4\choose x}\ (0.78)^{x}\ (1-0.78)^{4-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...[/tex]

Compute the probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one as follows:

[tex]P(X=4)={4\choose 4}\ (0.78)^{4}\ (1-0.78)^{4-4}[/tex]

                [tex]=1\times 0.37015056\times 1\\\\=0.37015056\\\\\apporx 0.370[/tex]

Thus, the probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one is 0.370.

c) What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean?
d) Discuss the degree of skewness found in the sample data. What suggestion would you make for a repeat of this study?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Be the variable of interest:

X: Number of weeks it takes a worker aged 55 plus to find a job

Sample average X[bar]= 22 weeks

Sample standard deviation S= 11.89 weeks

Sample size n= 40

a)

The point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean

X[bar]= 22 weeks

It takes on average 22 weeks for a worker aged 55 plus to find a job.

b)

To estimate the population mean using a confidence interval, assuming the variable has a normal distribution is

X[bar] ± [tex]t_{n_1; 1-\alpha /2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

[tex]t_{n-1; 1-\alpha /2}= t_{39; 0.975}= 2.023[/tex]

The structure of the interval is "point estimate" ± "margin of error"

d= [tex]t_{n_1; 1-\alpha /2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]= 2.023*[tex](\frac{11.89}{\sqrt{40} })[/tex]= 3.803

c)

The interval can be calculated as:

[22  ±  3.803]

[18.197; 25.803]

Using s 95% confidence level, you'd expect the population mean of the time it takes a worker 55 plus to find a job will be within the interval [18.197; 25.803] weeks.

d)

Squares and rectangles are not the same thing since you can have a square that is a rectangle, but a rectangle that is not a square, so D is correct.

corresponding angles i believe since they are matching

I know that the 2 lines are parallel because 5 and 6 are alternate interior angles since they are on opposite sides.

4 and 6 are not vertical or right angles, so it must be d, also they follow what a corresponding angle is, which is them being matching.

14+4=18

The dimensions increased by 4 feet.

What is the area of the rectangle?

The area of the rectangle is the product of the length and width of a given rectangle.

The area of the rectangle = length × Width

Given;

Dimensions of rectangle = 12 + x and 14 + x

The area of the rectangle= (12 + x) (14 + x) = 288

x² + 26x + 168 = 288

Answers

Answer:

The odds are one in approximately 27 million.Not one in 600 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

From the news story, we are told that:

The odds are 1 in 150 that a piece of Skylab will hit someone.

However, 4 billion people live in the zone in which pieces could fall.

Therefore, any one person’s chances of being struck are:

[tex]=\dfrac{1}{150} \times 4$ billion\\=\dfrac{1}{37.5}$ billion\\\\=26,666,667 million[/tex]

Therefore, the odds are one in approximately 27 million.

The inaccuracy presented in this reasoning was that the odds are one in 600 billion.

A population of beetles are growing according to a linear growth model. The initial population (week 0) is

P0=6, and the population after 8 weeks is P8=86 Find an explicit formula for the beetle population after n weeks.

After how many weeks will the beetle population reach 236?

Answers

Answer:

The number of weeks it will take for the  beetle population to reach 236 is 28.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quantity starts at size P₀ and grows by d every time period, then the

quantity after n time periods can be determined using explicit form:

[tex]P_{n} = P_{0} + d \cdot n[/tex]

Here,

d = the common difference, i.e. the amount  that the population changes each time n is increased by 1.

In this case it is provided that the original population of beetle was:

P₀ = 6; (week 0)

And the population after 8 weeks was,

P₈ = 86

Compute the value of d as follows:

[tex]P_{8} = P_{0} + d \cdot 8\\86=6+8d\\86-6=8d\\80=8d\\d=10[/tex]

Thus, the explicit formula for the beetle population after n weeks is:

[tex]P_{n}=P_{0}+8n[/tex]

Compute the number of weeks it will take for the  beetle population to reach 236 as follows:

[tex]P_{n}=P_{0}+8n\\\\236=6+8n\\\\8n=236-6\\\\8n=230\\\\n=28.75[/tex]

Thus, the number of weeks it will take for the  beetle population to reach 236 is 28.75.

We have, N choose K = N! / K! (N-k)!

Here, N = 1851 and K = 2

Therefore, 1851 choose 2 = 1851! / 2! (1851-2)!

                                         = 1851! / 2! * 1849!

                                         = 1712175 Possible Combinations

Out of these 653 are false positive.

The chance of getting false positive is = 658 / 1712175

                                                            = 0.000384

                                                           = 0.0384 %

Therefore, The correct option is

The chance of false positive is 0.0384% Because this probability is sufficiently small (< or = 1%) There is high confidence in the agency's forensic evidence.

f(x)=x^3-3x^2-9x+4 find the intervals on which f is increasing or decreasing b. find the local maximum and minimum values of f. c. find the intervals of concavity and inflection points

Answers

Answer:

Please read the complete answer below!

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following function:

[tex]f(x)=x^3-3x^2-9x+4[/tex]   (1)

a) To find the interval on which f is increasing or decreasing, you first calculate the critical points of f(x).

You calculate the derivative f(x) respect to x:

[tex]\frac{df}{dx}=3x^2-6x-9[/tex]    (2)

Next, you equal the derivative to zero, and then you find the roots of the polynomial by using the quadratic formula:

[tex]3x^2-6x-9=0\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(3)(-9)}}{2(3)}\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{6\pm12}{6}\\\\x_1=-1\\\\x_2=3[/tex]

Then, the critical points are x=-1 and x=3

Next, you calculate df/dx for a values of x to the left and to the right of the critical points x1 and x2. If df/dx < 0 the function is decreasing, if df/dx > 0 the function is increasing.

for x = -1.01

[tex]\frac{df(-1.01)}{dx}=3(-1.01)^2-6(-1.01)-9=0.12[/tex]

Then, in the interval (-∞,-1), the function is increasing

for x = -0.99

[tex]\frac{df(-0.99)}{dx}=3(-0.99)^2-6(-0.99)-9=-0.11[/tex]

In the interval (-1,3) the function is decreasing

for x = 3.01

[tex]\frac{df(3.01)}{dx}=3(3.01)^2-6(3.01)-9=0.12[/tex]

In the interval (3,+∞) the function is increasing

b) To find the local minimum and maximum you use the second derivative of the function:

[tex]\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}=6x-6[/tex]     (3)

you evaluate the second derivative for the critical points x1 and x2, if the second derivative is positive, you have a local minimum. If the second derivative is negative, you have a local maximum:

for x1 = -1

[tex]6(-1)-6=-12<0[/tex]

x=-1 is a local maximum

for x2 = 3

[tex]6(3)-6=12>0[/tex]

x=3 is a local minimum

c) upward concavity: (-1,3)

downward concavity: (-∞,-1)U(3,+∞)

The inflection points are calculated with the second derivative equal to zero:

[tex]6x-6=0\\\\x=1[/tex]

For x = 1 you have an inflection point

Jenn uses 6 cups of flour to bake 40 muffins. How many muffins can she can bake if she has 15 cups of flour?

Answers

Answer:

100 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

6 cups          15 cups

-------------   = -----------

40 muffins     x muffins

Using cross products

6x = 40*15

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 40*15/6

x =100

100 muffins

Answer:

100 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

If she could bake 40 muffins with 6 cups, then she could bake 80 muffins with 12 cups. Then, we have 3 cups left over, which is half of 6, meaning she can only bake half of her regular amount with 3 cups, which would be 20. 80+20=100

40+40+20=100

In a study of the relationship of the shape of a tablet to its dissolution time, 6 disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and 8 oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets were dissolved in water. The dissolve times, in seconds, were as follows:
Disk: 269.0, 249.3, 255.2, 252.7, 247.0, 261.6
Oval: 268.8, 260.0, 273.5, 253.9, 278.5, 289.4, 261.6, 280.2 Can you conclude that the mean dissolve times differ between the two shapes? Conduct a hypothesis test at the
α = 5% level.
a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
b. Compute the test statistic.
c. Compute the P-value.
d. State the conclusion of the test in the context of this setting.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. Let μ1 be the mean dissolution time for disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and μ2 be the mean dissolution time for oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets.

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean dissolution time for disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and the mean dissolution time for oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets.

We would set up the hypothesis.

a) The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

This is a two tailed test.

For disk shaped,

Mean, x1 = (269.0 + 249.3 + 255.2 + 252.7 + 247.0 + 261.6)/6 = 255.8

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n

n1 = 6

Summation(x - mean)² = (269 - 255.8)^2 + (249.3 - 255.8)^2 + (255.2 - 255.8)^2+ (252.7 - 255.8)^2 + (247 - 255.8)^2 + (261.6 - 255.8)^2 = 337.54

Standard deviation, s1 = √(337.54/6) = 7.5

For oval shaped,

Mean, x2 = (268.8 + 260 + 273.5 + 253.9 + 278.5 + 289.4 + 261.6 + 280.2)/8 = 270.7375

n2 = 8

Summation(x - mean)² = (268.8 - 270.7375)^2 + (260 - 270.7375)^2 + (273.5 - 270.7375)^2+ (253.9 - 270.7375)^2 + (278.5 - 270.7375)^2 + (289.4 - 270.7375)^2 + (261.6 - 270.7375)^2 + (280.2 - 270.7375)^2 = 991.75875

Standard deviation, s2 = √(991.75875/8) = 11.1

b) Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

Therefore,

t = (255.8 - 270.7375)/√(7.5²/6 + 11.1²/8)

t = - 3

c) The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [7.5²/6 + 11.1²/8]²/[(1/6 - 1)(7.5²/6)² + (1/8 - 1)(11.1²/8)²] = 613.86/51.46

df = 12

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.011

d) Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.011, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, we can conclude that at 5% significance level, the mean dissolve times differ between the two shapes

In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x) = x2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of g(x) = (x-2)^2 -3. Be sure to include the transformations that occurred between the parent function f(x) and its image g(x).

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) results in a parabola with vertex (0,0) wich mean there is only one x-int at that point. g(x) has been shifted the grapgh of f(x) to the right by to units and down by three unites. Now our vertex lies in the point (2,-3) and since the graph was move dow i=of the x-axis we now have two different x-intercepts.

bn=(n)^(5.6/n).

a)

Answers

There is a missing content in the question.

After the statements and before the the options given; there is an omitted content which says:

Referring to Table 16-5, in testing the coefficient of X in the regression equation (0.117) the results were a t-statistic of 9.08 and an associated p-value of 0.0000. Which of the following is the best interpretation of this result?

Answer:

C. The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question:

The resulting regression equation can be represented as:

[tex]\hat Y = 3.37 + 0.117 X - 0.083 Q_1 + 1.28 Q_2 + 0.617Q_3[/tex]

where;

the estimated number of contracts in a quarter X is the coded quarterly value with X = 0

the first quarter of 2010 Q1 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the first quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Q2 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the second quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Q3 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the third quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Our null and alternative hypothesis can be stated as;

Null hypothesis :

[tex]H_0 :[/tex]  The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is not  significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

[tex]H_a:[/tex]  The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

The decision rule is to reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is less than 0.05.

From the missing omitted part we added above; we can see that the   t-statistics value = 9.08 and the p-value = 0.000 .

Conclusion:

Thus; we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. i.e

The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)
