Answer 1

Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In finding the public's view on pollution, the researchers waited outside a car dealership they had randomly selected from a list of such establishments. They stopped every 10th person who came out of the dealership and asked whether he or she thought pollution was a serious problem.

A) The population

The population is the sum total of every member of the public whose opinions on pollution, the researchers are interested in.

B) The population parameter of interest

Since the researchers stopped every member of the sample to ask them whether they thought pollution was a serious problem or not, it follows that the population parameter of interest is the proportion of the population who think that pollution is a serious problem.

C) The sampling frame

The sampling frame is defined as the source material where the sample is drawn from. And for this question, the sampling frame is the population of people leaving car dealership establishments.

D) The sample

The sample is the set of people that were asked the question of whether population was a serious problem or not. The sample includes every 10th person that came out of the chosen car dealership establishments.

E) The sampling method

Note that

- In random sampling, each population member would have an equal chance of being surveyed.

- Stratified sampling divides the population into groups called strata. A sample is taken from some or all of these strata using either random, systematic, or convenience sampling.

- In systematic sampling, a particular number, n, is counted repeatedly and each of the nth member is picked to be sampled.

Hence, this stratified sampling method uses random sampling technique to pick the strata where the samples will be obtained from and systematic sampling is now used for the picking of the members of the sample.

F) Any potential sources of bias you can detect and any problems you see in generalizing to the population of interest.

This survey only limits the members of the sample to those who visit a car dealership, and this cuts out a large percentage of the total population of humans.

Mostly men visit car dealership establishments, Hence, women, children, old people are at a disadvantage as they do not all have an equal chance of being surveyed.

Infact, only a financial class of the population visits car dealership establishments, so, it would be very wrong with all of this bias to use the results of this surveyor generalize for the whole population of people.

Hope this Helps!!!

there were a total of 51 floats. If
7 of those floats were from
sports teams, what percent
were NOT sports teams?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] p =\frac{7}{51}= 0.1372[/tex]

And then the probability that is NOT from sport temas using the complement rule is given by:

[tex] q = 1-p =1- \frac{7}{51}= 0.8627[/tex]

And if we convert that into % we got:

[tex] 0.8627 *100= 86.27\%[/tex]

Approximately 86.27% of the floats were NOT sports teams

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can begin finding the % of floats that were from sport tems using the Laplace definition of probability given by:

[tex]p = \frac{Possible}{Total}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] p =\frac{7}{51}= 0.1372[/tex]

And then the probability that is NOT from sport temas using the complement rule is given by:

[tex] q = 1-p =1- \frac{7}{51}= 0.8627[/tex]

g You run a regression analysis on a bivariate set of data ( n = 14 ). With ¯ x = 27.7 and ¯ y = 26.5 , you obtain the regression equation y = 0.495 x − 14.914 with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.39 . You want to predict what value (on average) for the response variable will be obtained from a value of 110 as the explanatory variable. What is the predicted response value?

Answers

Answer:

Predicted response value = 39.536

Note that this predicted response value will most likely be far from the actual response value because the correlation coefficient of the regression equation used (r = 0.39) is too far away from 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The response variable is the dependent variable (y) whose value is obtained from the expression involving the independent variable (x).

For this question, although the correlation coefficient, r = 0.39, is far from 1, the regression equation is

y = 0.495x - 14.914

The predicted response value will be obtained from the explanatory variable and the regression equation

x = 110

y = 0.495x - 14.914

y = (0.495×110) - 14.914 = 39.536

Note that this predicted response value will most likely be far from the actual response value because the correlation coefficient of the regression equation used (r = 0.39) is too far away from 1.

Goods available for sale are $40000, beginning inventory is $16000, ending inventory is $20000, the cost of goods sold $50000, what is the inventory turnover

Answers

Answer:

2.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Inventory turn over is the same as the inventory turn over ratio. Inventory turn over is defined simply as the ratio of the cost of goods that was sold (net sales) to the average inventory at the selling price.

Inventory turn over = Cost of goods/average inventory

Cost of goods sold = $50000

Average inventory = beginning of inventory + ending inventory/2

Average inventory = $16000+$20000/2

Average inventory = $36000/2

Average inventory = $18000

Inventory turn over = $50000/$18000

Inventory turn over= 2.78

Answer:

342 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the length of j;

[tex]j * 9 * 9 = 405,\\j = 405 / 81,\\j = 5 meters[/tex]

Applying the volume of a rectangular prism formula length * width * height = volume, we noted that 9, 9, and j corresponded to the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism and made it equivalent to the volume. Doing so, we solved for j. Now let us solve for the surface area;

[tex]Area of 1st Face = 5 * 9 = 45,\\Area of 2nd Face = 9 * 9 = 81,\\Area of 3rd Face = 5 * 9 = 45,\\\\Surface Area = 2 * ( 45 ) + 2 * ( 81 ) + 2 * ( 45 ) = 342 square meters[/tex]

Opposite faces are equal in terms of their area, so by finding the area of 3 faces, we multiply their area each by 2 to result in the total surface area!

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

I didn't find the exact box plot for this exercise but I've found one that'll help you identify the required values

When constructing a box plot the box lower and upper limits are defined by the first and third quartiles and the line separating it in two represents the median.

In this case, the box is lying on the side, the first quartile is represented by the left side of the box. If you see the graphic this one corresponds to 25.

The median, as said, is represented by the line drawn inside the box, it is not necessarily in its middle but it will always be inside it.

Watching the example, the median is 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Jose runs a factory that makes stereo tuners. Each S100 takes 8 ounces of plastic and 4 ounces of metal. Each FS20 requires 4 ounces of plastic and 6 ounces of metal. The factory has 312 ounces of plastic, 372 ounces of metal available, with a maximum of 20 S100 that can be built each week. If each S100 generates $7 in profit, and each FS20 generates $13, how many of each of the stereo tuners should Jose have the factory make each week to make the most profit

Answers

Answer: Jose should have the factory make 50 FS20 stereo tuners and 14 S100 stereo tuners each week to make the most profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each S100 takes 8 ounces of plastic and 4 ounces of metal. Each FS20 requires 4 ounces of plastic and 6 ounces of metal. And the factory has 312 ounces of plastic, 372 ounces of metal available, then,

For plastic

8 ounces + 4 ounces = 12 ounces

The number of stereo tuners it can produce will be

312/12 = 26 stereo tuners

For metal

4 ounces + 6 ounces = 10 ounces

The number of stereo tuners it can produce will be

372/10 = 37.2 = 37 approximately

Since FS20 generate more profit than S100, let assume that Jose produces 50 FS20 by consuming

4 × 50 = 200 ounces of plastic

6 × 50 = 300 ounces of metal

The remaining plastic will be

312 - 200 = 112

The remaining plastic will be

372 - 300 = 72

Divide 112 by 8 in order to make S100

112/8 = 14

Also 72/4 = 18.

Therefore, Jose should have the factory make 50 FS20 stereo tuners and 14 S100 stereo tuners each week to make the most profit

A steep mountain is inclined 74 degree to the horizontal and rises to a height of 3400 ft above the surrounding plain. A cable car is to be installed running to the top of the mountain from a point 890 ft out in the plain from the base of the mountain. Find the shortest length of cable needed.

Answers

Answer:

about 3878 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the cable is not doubled, we need to find the length of the base of the mountain i.e

A company is constructing an​ open-top, square-based, rectangular metal tank that will have a volume of 49 cubic feet. What dimensions yield the minimum surface​ area? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

b = 4.6 ft

h = 2.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the tank is given by:

[tex]b^2*h=49[/tex]

Where 'b' is the length of the each side of the square base, and 'h' is the height of the tank.

The surface area can be written as:

[tex]A=b^2+4bh\\A=b^2+4b*({\frac{49}{b^2}})\\A=b^2+\frac{196}{b}[/tex]

The value of b for which the derivate of the expression above is zero is the value that yields the minimum surface area:

[tex]\frac{dA}{db} =0=2b-\frac{196}{b^2}\\2b^3=196\\b=4.61\ ft[/tex]

The value of h is then:

[tex]h=\frac{49}{4.61^2}\\h=2.31\ ft[/tex]

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the dimensions are b = 4.6 ft and h = 2.3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vector x: x <- c(2, 43, 27, 96, 18)

Sort

In R, the sort(x)  function is used to arrange the entries in ascending or descending order. By default, R will sort the vector in ascending order.

Therefore, the output that matches the sort function is:

sort(x): 2, 18, 27, 43, 96

Rank

The rank function returns a vector with the "rank" of each value.

x <- c(2, 43, 27, 96, 18)

2 has a rank of 143 has a rank of 427 has a rank of 396 has a rank of 518 has a rank of 2

Therefore, the output of rank(x)  is: 1, 4, 3, 5, 2

Order

When the function is sorted, the order function gives the previous location of each of the element of the vector.

Using the sort(x) function, we obtain: 2, 18, 27, 43, 96

In the vector: x <- c(2, 43, 27, 96, 18)

2 was in the 1st position18 was in the 5th position27 was in the 3rd position43 was in the 2nd position96 was in the 4th position

Therefore, the output of order(x) is: 1, 5, 3, 2, 4

Answers

Answer:

percentage change in weight ≈ 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The dog weighed 48 kg after a diet and after an exercise program the dog had a weight of 43 kg. This means the dog loss weight since the dog weight decreased from an initial value of 48 kg to 43 kg. The decrease in weight can be calculate as

decrease in weight = original weight - new weight

original weight  = 48 kg

new weight = 43 kg

decrease in weight = 48 - 43 = 5 kg

Since the weight decrease their will be a percentage decrease in weight.

% decrease = decrease in weight/original weight × 100

% decrease = 5/48 × 100

% decrease = 500/48

% decrease = 10. 42666666667

percentage change in weight ≈ 10%

True or False: As the value of cos(x) approaches 1 and the value of sin(x) approaches 0, the value of tan(x) approaches infinity

Answers

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

if cos(x) tends to 1, and sin (x) tends to 0 (this happens aronund the point x = 0)

then we have:

Tan(x) = 0/1 = 0

Then the statement is false, as cos(x) approaches 1 and sin(x) approaches 0, tan(x) also approaches 0.

Answers

Answer:

The quarterly growth rate in revenues is significantly different from 1.2%.

b. 2,666,858

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The regression equation can be represented as :

[tex]log_{10} \hat Y= 6.102+0.012 X - 0.129 Q_1 - 0.054 Q_2 + 0.098 Q_3[/tex]

In testing the significance of the coefficient of X in the regression equation (0.012) which has a p-value of 0.02.

The null and alternative hypothesis can be stated as;

[tex]H_0:[/tex]    The quarterly growth rate in revenues is not significantly different from 1.2%.

[tex]H_a:[/tex]   The quarterly growth rate in revenues is significantly different from 1.2%.

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

From above ; the p-value = 0.02 which is less than 0.05.

Conclusion:

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

The quarterly growth rate in revenues is significantly different from 1.2%.

b.

Since [tex]Q_1=Q_2=Q_3 = 0[/tex] ; X = 27

Thus ;

[tex]log_{10} \hat Y= 6.102+0.012 X - 0.129 Q_1 - 0.054 Q_2 + 0.098 Q_3[/tex]

[tex]log_{10} \hat Y= 6.102+0.012 (27)[/tex]

A credit card company monitors cardholder transaction habits to detect any unusual activity. Suppose that the dollar value of unusual activity for a customer in a month follows a normal distribution with mean $250 and variance $2400.
(a) What is the probability of $250 to $294 in unusual activity in a month? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654) P-0.4861
(b) What is the probability of more than $294 in unusual activity in a month? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654) P 0.0139
(c) Suppose that 10 customer accounts independently follow the same normal distribution. What is the probability that at least one of these customers exceeds $294 in unusual activity in a month? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable representing the dollar value of unusual activity for a customer in a month. Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 250

σ = √variance = √2400 = 48.99

a) the probability of $250 to $294 in unusual activity in a month is expressed as

P(250 ≤ x ≤ 294)

For x = 250,

z = (250 - 250)/48.99 = 0

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.5

For x = 294

z = (294 - 250)/48.99 = 0.9

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.8159

Therefore,

P(250 ≤ x ≤ 294) = 0.8159 - 0.5 = 0.3159

b) the probability of more than $294 in unusual activity in a month is expressed as

P(x > 294) = 1 - P(x < 294)

P(x > 294) = 1 - 0.8159 = 0.1841

c) since n = 10, the formula becomes

z = (x - µ)/(σ/n)

z = (294 - 250)/(48.99/√10) = 2.84

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability is 0.9977

Therefore, the probability that at least one of these customers exceeds $294 in unusual activity in a month is

1 - 0.9977 = 0.0023

Directly above center court, the Yakima SunDome in Yakima, Washington, rises to its maximum height of 92 ft. The angle of elevation from justins parking spot at a Yakama sun kings home to the top of the dome is 11. To the nearest fooot how far from the center court is Justin Parked?

Answers

Answer:

473 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the image below. We have that the angle of elevation from Justin parking spot is 11º and the height of the building is 92 feet and we need to know how far from the building is Justin parked, in other words, we need to find x in the image.

We can see that to find x we can use a trigonometric function (in this case is tan since we have the Opposite side (92 feet) and we need the Adjacent side (x)

Thus we have:

[tex]Tan11= \frac{92}{x} \\0.1943=\frac{92}{x}\\ x=\frac{92}{0.1943}\\ x=473.49\\x=473[/tex]

Thus, Justin is parked 473 feet away from the center court.
