On January 2, 2008, the American Idol website (www .americanidol) conducted an online poll that asked respondents which contestant they liked best among six former contestants. To become part of the sample, respondents simply clicked on a response. Of the 941,434 responses to this poll, 55% voted for Clay Aiken. We can conclude that _________________________________ .
a. the sample is too small.
b. a fraction of the millions of people who watched the TV show to draw any conclusion.
c. most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants.
d. the poll uses voluntary response, so the results tell us little about the population of all adults.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Online Poll

We can conclude that

c. most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample responses received from the poll = 941,434

Proportion of voters for Clay Aiken = 55%

Computed proportion of voters for the other 5 contestants = 45% (100% - 55%)

This gives an average of 7.5% (45%/5) for the other 5 contestants.

Therefore, the conclusion is that "most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants" in the American Idol contest.

Two solutions of the equation Ax+By = 1 are (2, -1) and (-3,-2). Find A and B.

Answers

Answer:

Substitute in the values of both given coordinates & form 2 equations:

[tex]\left \{ {{A(2)+B(-1)=1} \atop {A(-3)+B(-2)=1}} \right. \\\\=\left \{ {{2A-B=1} \atop {-3A-2B=1}} \right.[/tex]

Find the value of B from the equation 2A - B = 1:

[tex]2A-B=1\\-B=1-2A\\B=2A-1[/tex]

Substitute in the B-value to the other equation:

[tex]-3A-2B=1\\-3A-2(2A-1)=1\\-3A-4A+2=1\\-7A=1-2\\-7A=-1\\A=\frac{-1}{-7} =\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

Find the B-value using the equation from before:

[tex]B=2A-1=2(\frac{1}{7})-1=\frac{2}{7} -\frac{7}{7} =-\frac{5}{7}[/tex]  

Therefore the equation Ax + By = 1 would equal:

Find the most general antiderivative of the function. (Check your answer by differentiation. Use C for the constant of the antiderivative. Remember to use absolute values where appropriate.)
f(x) = 45−5x, x>0 .

Answers

Answer:

F(x) = 45*x - (5/2)*x^2 + C

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to find the antiderivative of the function:

f(x) = 45 - 5*x

Remember the general rule that, for a given function:

g(x) = a*x^n

the antiderivative is:

G(x) = (a/(n + 1))*a*x^(n + 1) + C

where C is a constant.

Then for the case of f(x) we have:

F(x) = (45/1)*x^1 - (5/2)*x^2 + C

F(x) = 45*x - (5/2)*x^2 + C

Now if we derivate this, we get:

dF(x)/dx = 1*45*x^0 - 2*(5/2)*x

dF(x)/dx = 45 - 5*x

find an odd natural numbers x such that LCM (x, 40) = 1400​

Answers

Answer:

175

Step-by-step explanation:

so, the LCM is the combination of the longest chains of the prime factors in every number.

40 : 2, 2, 2, 5

1400 / 40 = 35

35 : 5, 7

but LCM(35, 40) = 2×2×2×5×7 = 280

and not 1400.

what is missing ?

1400 / 280 = 5

aha, another prime factor 5 is missing to get 1400.

x : 5, 5, 7

so, x = 5×5×7 = 175

LCM(175, 40) = 2×2×2×5×5×7 = 1400

157.            answer

Answer:

D. 157

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the value of the expression 4(x²+3)-2y is when x=-6 and y=-1/2

Let's first simplify the expression, as that will likely make it easier

Distribute 4 to both x² and 3

4x²+12-2y

That's the expression

Substitute -6 as x into the expression

4(-6)²+12-2y

Raise (-6) to the second power

4*36+12-2y

Multiply 36 by 4

144+12-2y

Add 12 and 144 together

156-2y

Now the expression is 156-2y

But remember that we know that y=-1/2, and we haven't substituted it into the expression yet

Substitute -1/2  as y into the expression

156-2(-1/2)

Multiply

156+2/2

Simplify

156+1

Add

157

Help me out with these 2 questions for 15 points.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The time dilation formula is given by

[tex]F(t) = \dfrac{t}{\sqrt{1-v^2}}[/tex]

where t is the time measured by the moving observer and F(t) is the time measured by the stationary earth-bound observer and v is the velocity of the moving observer expressed as a fraction of the speed of light.

a) If the observer is moving at 80% of the speed of light and observes an event that lasts for 1 second, a stationary observer will see the same event occurring over a time period of

[tex]F(t) = \dfrac{1\:\text{s}}{\sqrt{1-(0.8)^2}}[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{1\:\text{s}}{\sqrt{1-(0.8)^2}} =\dfrac{1\:\text{s}}{\sqrt{1-(0.64)}}[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=1.67\:\text{s}[/tex]

This means that any event observed by this moving observer will be seen by a stationary observer to occur 67% longer.

b) Given:

t = 1 second

F(t) = 2 seconds

We need to find the speed of the observer such that an event seen by this observer will occur twice as long as seen by a stationary observer. Move the term containing the radical to the left side so the equation becomes

[tex]\sqrt{1-v^2} = \dfrac{t}{F(t)}[/tex]

Take the square of both sides, we get

[tex]1 - v^2 =\dfrac{t^2}{F^2(t)}[/tex]

Solving for v, we get

[tex]v^2 = 1 - \dfrac{t^2}{F^2(t)}[/tex]

or

[tex]v = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{t^2}{F^2(t)}}[/tex]

Putting in the values for t and F(t) we get

[tex]v = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{(1\:\text{s})^2}{(2\:\text{s})^2}}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{1}{4}} = \sqrt{0.75}[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:=0.866[/tex]

This means that the observer must moves at 86.6% of the speed of light.

The way to calculate Celsius to Fahrenheit:

F = (C × 9/5) + 32

So we plug in 100 for C.

F = (100 × 9/5) + 32

F = 180 + 32

F = 212

Therefore, the numbered pair is 212 degrees F and 100 degrees  C.

Explanation:

Let the unknown value be

Converting the words into numbers:

First part: "15 times a certain number"  → 15 x

Second part: "plus 5 times the same number" → 15 x + 5 x

The last part: " is 80" ->  15x + 5 x = 80

We are counting  x ' s . 15 of them plus another 5 of them gives a total of 20.

So 15 x + 5 x = 20 x = 80

Divide both sides by 20

20 x ÷ 20 = 80÷ 20

20/20x=80/20

A person's email for one day contained a total of 78 messages. The number of spam
messages was two less than four times the number of other messages. How many of
the email messages were spam?

Answers

Answer:

62 of the email messages were spam

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of spam and other messages be s and o respectively.

Total number of messages= 78

s +o= 78 -----(1)

s= 4o -2 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

4o -2 +o= 78

Simplify:

5o -2= 78

+2 on both sides:

5o= 78 +2

5o= 80

Divide both sides by 5:

o= 80 ÷5

o= 16

Since s +o= 78, s= 78 -o.

s= 78 -16

s= 62

She asks nine 2nd graders to take a comprehension exam at the end of the school year (May), and then asks those same students to come back after the summer (late August) to retake a different but equivalent exam, to see if their level of comprehension has changed. Using the data below, test this hypothesis using an (alpha level of 0.05.)

The appropriate test is a paired t test :

d = difference between May and August

d = (-5, -8, -17, -15, 4, -6, 5, -6, -22)

The hypothesis :

H0 : μd = 0

H1 : μd ≠ 0

The test statistic :

T = dbar / (Sdbar/√n)

Where, dbar and Sdbar are the mean and standard deviation of 'd' respectively.

Using calculator :

dbar = - 7.777 ; Sdbar = 9.052

Test statistic = - 7.777 / (9.052 /√9)

Test statistic = - 2.577

The Pvalue, df = n - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8

Pvalue(-2.577, 8) = 0.0327

At α = 0.05

Pvalue < α ; WE reject the H0 ; and conclude that there has been a change in score
