How did governments pursue mercantilist policies?

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you need to find the slope:

[tex]\frac{-2-6}{3+2} =-\frac{8}{5}[/tex]

Since it's point slope, you have to use a point:

It's either:

[tex](y - 6)=-\frac{8}{5}(x+2)[/tex]

or

[tex](y+2)=-\frac{8}{5}(x-3)[/tex]

Check which answer has those:

A.

The solution is Option A.

The equation of line is y - 6 = ( -8/5 ) ( x + 2 ) where the slope is -8/5

The equation of a line is expressed as y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

And y - y₁ = m ( x - x₁ )

y = y-coordinate of second point

y₁ = y-coordinate of point one

m = slope

x = x-coordinate of second point

x₁ = x-coordinate of point one

The slope m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

Given data ,

Let the equation of line be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Let the first point be P ( -2 , 6 )

Let the second point be Q ( 3 , -2 )

The slope of the line between the point is given by m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

Slope m = ( 6 - ( - 2 ) ) / ( -2 - 3 )

On simplifying the equation , we get

Slope m = ( 8 / -5 ) = -8/5

Now , the equation of line is y - y₁ = m ( x - x₁ )

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

y - 6 = ( -8/5 ) ( x - ( -2 ) )

On simplifying the equation , we get

y - 6 = ( -8/5 ) ( x + 2 )

Hence , the equation of line is y - 6 = ( -8/5 ) ( x + 2 )

Answer:

(D)9.5 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two chords CD and AB intersecting at E.

Using the theorem of intersecting chords

AE X EB =CE X ED

AB=AE+EB

16=10+EB

EB=16-10=6

Therefore:

AE X EB =CE X ED

10 X 6 = 4 X ED

ED =60/4 =15

Therefore:

CD=CE+ED

=4+15

CD=19

Recall that CD is a diameter of the circle and;

Radius =Diameter/2

Therefore, radius of the circle =19/2 =9.5 Units

Answer:

Quedan 2.083 m^3 de agua en el reservorio.

Equivalen a 2083 litros.

Step-by-step explanation:

Los dueños del restaurante tienen un reservorio de agua cuyo volumen es de 6.25 m^3.

Si han utilizado 2/3 del reservorio, esto implica que aún quedan en el reservorio una tercera parte del volumen original (1/3).

Entonces, la cantidad de metros cúbicos (m^3) de agua que quedan en el reservorio se puede calcular como:

[tex]V=(1/3)\cdot V_0=(1/3)\cdot6.25\,m^3=2.083\,m^3[/tex]

Answer:

26.68% probability that exactly three will end up being replaced under warranty

Step-by-step explanation:

For each telephone under warranty, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they need to be replaced, or they do not need to be replaced. Each telephone is independent of other telephones. 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.

30% must be replaced with new units

This means that [tex]p = 0.3[/tex]

If a company purchases ten of these telephones, what is the probability that exactly three will end up being replaced under warranty

This is [tex]P(X = 3)[/tex] when [tex]n = 10[/tex]. So

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{7} = 0.2668[/tex]

Answer:

I think the complete question should be:

A researcher has developed a new drug designed to reduce blood pressure. In an experiment, 21 subjects were assigned randomly to the treatment group and received the new experimental drug. The other 23 subjects were assigned to the control group and received a standard well known treatment. After a suitable period of time, the reduction in blood pressure for each subject was recorded.

Treatment group n = 21, x1 mean = 23.48, sd = 8.01

Control group n = 23, x2 = 18.52, sd = 7.15

Based on these data, the computed two-sample t statistic is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the variances to be calculated from the sd are unequal we use this formula:

t statistics = (x1 - x2) / [(sd1²/n1) + (sd2²/n2) where n1 = 21, x1 mean = 23.48, sd1 = 8.01, n2 = 23, x2 = 18.52, sd2 = 7.15

Thus, we have

test statistic= (23.48-18.52) / [(8.01²/21) + (7.15²/23)]

Test statistics = 4.96 / (324.36/21)+(51.12/23)]

Test statistics = 4.96/ (15.45+2.43)

t statistic = 4.96 / 17.88

t statistics = 0.2774

D) Identify any unusual event amongst the three events in A, B and C. Explain the reasoning.

a) None.

b) Events A and B.

C) Event A

D) Event C

Solution

This is a normal distribution problem with

Mean = μ = 500

Standard deviation = σ = 10.4

A) Probability that a randomly selected medical student who took the test had a total score that was less than 484 = P(x < 484)

We first normalize or standardize 484

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (484 - 500)/10.4 = - 1.54

To determine the required probability

P(x < 484) = P(z < -1.54)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(x < 484) = P(z < -1.54) = 0.06178

B) Probability that a randomly selected study participant's response was between 504 and 516 = P(504 ≤ x ≤ 516)

We normalize or standardize 504 and 516

For 504

z = (x - μ)/σ = (504 - 500)/10.4 = 0.38

For 516

z = (x - μ)/σ = (516 - 500)/10.4 = 1.54

To determine the required probability

P(504 ≤ x ≤ 516) = P(0.38 ≤ z ≤ 1.54)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(504 ≤ x ≤ 516) = P(0.38 ≤ z ≤ 1.54)

= P(z ≤ 1.54) - P(z ≤ 0.38)

= 0.93822 - 0.64803

= 0.29019

C) Probability that a randomly selected study participant's response was more than 528 = P(x > 528)

We first normalize or standardize 528

z = (x - μ)/σ = (528 - 500)/10.4 = 2.69

To determine the required probability

P(x > 528) = P(z > 2.69)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

PP(x > 528) = P(z > 2.69) = 1 - P(z ≤ 2.69)

= 1 - 0.99643

= 0.00357

D) Only the event in (c) is unusual as its probability is less than 0.05.

Answer:

The most realistic value for the standard deviation is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of a distribution is a measure of dispersion. It is a measure of the spread of the distribution from the mean of the distribution. It expresses how far most of the distribution is from the mean.

Mathematically, the standard deviation is given as the square root of variance. And variance is an average of the squared deviations from the mean.

Mathematically,

Standard deviation = σ = √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

x = each variable (ranges from 34 to 99)

xbar = mean = 78

N = number of variables

Now taking the given possible values of the standard deviation one at a time,

-14

The standard deviation cannot be negative as it is a square root of the average of the sum of square deviations from the mean. Since the square of a number cannot be negative, it directly translates that the standard deviation cannot be negative.

3

A small standard deviation like 3 indicates that the distribution mostly centres about the mean, with very little variation. And the distribution given has a mean (78) that is very far away from at least one of the variables in the distribution. Hence, 3 is too low to pass ad the standard deviation of this distribution described.

0

A standard deviation of 0 indicates that all the variables in the distribution have the same value as the mean. That is, the distribution only contains 1 number, probably multiple times. So, this cannot be the standard deviation for the distribution described.

56

This value represents a value that is too high to express the spread of the distribution described. The mean (78) is very close to the maximum value of the distribution, and far away from the lower value(s), indicating that most of the distribution is in and around the upper values with a few variables closer to the lower limit. A standard deviation as high as 56 for a mean of 78 translates to a distribution with most of variables far from the mean, which isn't the case here.

Moreso, a simple add of the standard deviation to the mean or subtracting the standard deviation from the mean should give at least one of the results with values within the distribution.

(Mean) + (Standard deviation) = 78 + 56 = 134 >> 99 (outside distribution)

(Mean) + (Standard deviation) = 78 - 56 = 22 << 34 (also outside the distribution)

15

This is the most realistic value for the standard deviation as it represents what the distribution described above is.

The mean (78) being close to the maximum value of the distribution, and far away from the lower value(s) indicates that most of the distribution is in and around the upper values with a few variables closer to the lower limit.

So, 15 indicates a perfect blend of small deviations due to the high values close to the mean and the very high deviation from the evidently few lower values.

(Mean) + (Standard deviation) = 78 + 15 = 93 < 99 (within distribution)

(Mean) + (Standard deviation) = 78 - 15 = 63 > 34 (also within the distribution)

Hope this Helps!!!

When The most realistic value for the standard deviation is 15.

Answer:

a) The probability mass function of K = [tex]P(K=k) = \binom{k-1}{4}0.1^{4}*0.9^{k-5} ; k =5,6,...[/tex]

b)

c)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let p be  the probability of winning each ticket be = 0.1

Then q which is the probability of failing each ticket  = 1 - p = 1  - 0.1 = 0.9

Assume X represents the  number of failure preceding the 5th success in x + 5 trials.

The last trial must be success whose probability is p = 0.1 and in the remaining (x + r- 1) ( x+ 4 ) trials we must have have (4) successes whose probability is given by:

[tex]\binom{x+r-1}{r-1}*p^{r-1}*q^{x} = \binom{x+4}{4}0.1^{4}*0.9^{x} ; x =0, 1, .........[/tex]

Then, the probability distribution of random variable X is

[tex]P(X=x) = \binom{x+4}{4}0.1^{4}*0.9^{x} ; x =0, 1, .........[/tex]

where;

X represents the  negative binomial random variable.

K= X + 5 = number of ticket buy up to and including fifth winning ticket.

Since K =X+5 this signifies that  X = K-5

as X takes value 0, 1 ,2,...

K takes value 5, 6 ,...

Therefore:

The probability mass function of K = [tex]P(K=k) = \binom{k-1}{4}0.1^{4}*0.9^{k-5} ; k =5,6,...[/tex]

b)

Let p represent the probability of getting a tail on a flip of the coin

Thus p = 0.5 since it is a fair coin

where L = number of flips of the coin including 33rd occurrence of  tails

Thus; the negative binomial distribution of L can be illustrated as:

[tex]P(X=x) = \binom{x-1}{r-1}(1-p)^{x-r}p^r[/tex]

where

X= L

r = 33  &

p = 0.5

Since we are looking at the 33rd success; L is likely to be : L = 33,34,35...

Thus; the PMF of L = [tex]P(L=l) = \binom{l-1}{33-1}(1-0.5)^{l}(0.5)^{33} \\ \\ \\ \mathbf{P(L=l) = \binom{l-1}{33-1}(0.5)^{l} }[/tex]

c)  

Given that:

Let  M be the random variable which represents  the number of tickets need to be bought to get the first success,

also success probability is 0.01.

Therefore, M ~ Geo(0.01).

Thus, the PMF of M is given by:

[tex]P(M = m) = (1-0.01)^{m-1} * 0.01 , \ \ \ since \ \ \ (m = 1,2,3,4,....)[/tex]

[tex]P(M=m) = (0.99)^{m-1} * 0.01 , m = 1,2,3,4,....[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

There are two values of n in the text, I'll use the one that appears in all the questions.

The variable of interest is

X: pollutants found in waterways near large cities. (ppm)

This variable has a normal distribution with parameters μ= 9ppm and σ= 1.5ppm

1) X~N(μ;σ²)

X~N(9;2.25)

2) The distribution of the sample mean is X~N(μ;σ²/n)

σ²/n= 2.25/37= 0.06

X~N(9;0.06)

3) P(X>9.6)

To calculate this probability you have to use the standard normal distribution. Using the population parameters, you can calculate the corresponding Z value:

Z= (X-μ)/σ= (9.6-9)/1.5= 0.4

P(Z>0.4)= 1-P(Z≤0.4)= 1 - 0.65542= 0.34458

The probability of selecting a city at random and finding 9.6ppm pollutants.

4) In this item, instead of calculating the probability of one value of the variable you have to calculate the probability of the sample average taking a determined value. Because of this, you have to work using the distribution of the sample mean, instead of the distribution of the variable.

P(X[bar]>9.6)

Z= (X[bar]-μ)/(σ/√n)= (9.6-9)/√0.06= 2.45

P(Z>2.45)= 1 - P(Z≤2.45)= 1 - 0.99286= 0.00714

5) The assumption of a normal distribution is not necessary for item 4. Since the sample size is large enough (greater than 30) you can apply the central limit theorem and approximate the distribution of the sample mean to normal, regarding the distribution of the original variable.

6)

In this case, you have to work starting with the standard normal distribution and then "translate" the Z values into values of the average amount of pollutants.

The first quartile divides the bottom 25% of the distribution from the top 75%, symbolically:

P(Z≤z₁)= 0.25

z₁= -0.674

z₁= (X[bar]-μ)/(σ/√n)

z₁*(√n/σ)=X[bar]-μ

X[bar]=z₁*(√n/σ)+μ

X[bar]=(-0.674)*(√37/1.5)+9= 6.27ppm

The third quartile divides the bottom 75% of the distribution from the top 25%, symbolically:

P(Z≤z₂)= 0.75

z₂= 0.674

z₂= (X[bar]-μ)/(σ/√n)

z₂*(√n/σ)=X[bar]-μ

X[bar]=z₂*(√n/σ)+μ

X[bar]=(0.674)*(√37/1.5)+9= 11.7.3ppm

IQR= Q₃-Q₁= 11.73-6.27= 5.46ppm
