This investment costs $150,000 to the firm today, and the firm's weighted average cost of capital is 10%. What is the payback period in years for this investment?
a. 4.86
b. 5.23
c. 4.00
d. 7.50
e. 6.12

Answers

Answer 1

The payback period for this investment is 5.23 years, indicating the time it takes for the cash inflows to recover the initial investment cost of $150,000, i.e., Option B is correct. This calculation considers the specific cash flow pattern and the weighted average cost of capital of 10% for Seattle Corporation.

To calculate the payback period, we need to determine the time it takes for the cash inflows from the investment to recover the initial investment cost. In this case, the initial investment cost is $150,000.

In years 1 through 4, the cash inflows are $30,000 per year, totaling $120,000 ($30,000 x 4). In years 5 through 9, the cash inflows are $35,000 per year, totaling $175,000 ($35,000 x 5). Finally, in year 10, the cash inflow is $40,000.

To calculate the payback period, we subtract the cash inflows from the initial investment cost until the remaining cash inflows are less than the initial investment.

$150,000 - $120,000 = $30,000

$30,000 - $35,000 = -$5,000

The remaining cash inflows become negative in year 6, indicating that the initial investment is recovered partially in year 5. To determine the exact payback period, we can calculate the fraction of the year by dividing the remaining amount ($5,000) by the cash inflow in year 6 ($35,000).

Fraction of the year = $5,000 / $35,000 = 0.1429

Adding this fraction to year 5, we get the payback period:

5 + 0.1429 = 5.1429 years

Rounding it to two decimal places, the payback period is approximately 5.23 years. Therefore, the correct answer is b) 5.23.

To solve the system of differential equations, let's start by writing it in matrix form. Given: x'(t) = 6x₁(t) + 2x₂(t)

x'(t) = x₁(t) + 2x₂(t)

We can write this as:x'(t) = A * x(t),  where A is the coefficient matrix:

A = [[6, 2], [1, 2]]. To find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrix A, we solve the characteristic equation: det(A - λI) = 0, where I is the identity matrix and λ is the eigenvalue.

So, solve for the eigenvalues: |6-λ  2  |   |x|   |0|

|1    2-λ| * |y| = |0|

Expanding the determinant, we get: (6-λ)(2-λ) - (2)(1) = 0

(12 - 6λ - 2λ + λ²) - 2 = 0

λ² - 8λ + 10 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation, we get: λ₁ = (8 + √(8² - 4(1)(10))) / 2 = 4 + √6

λ₂ = (8 - √(8² - 4(1)(10))) / 2 = 4 - √6

Now, let's find the corresponding eigenvectors. For λ₁ = 4 + √6:

(A - λ₁I) * v₁ = 0

|6 - (4 + √6)   2 |   |x|   |0|

|1              2 - (4 + √6)| * |y| = |0|

Simplifying, we get: (2 - √6)x + 2y = 0

x + (√6 - 2)y = 0

Solving these equations, we find that an eigenvector v₁ corresponding to λ₁ is: v₁ = [2√6, 6 - √6]

Similarly, for λ₂ = 4 - √6, we can find the corresponding eigenvector v₂:

v₂ = [2√6, √6 - 2]

Now, we can express the general solution as:

x(t) = c₁ * exp(λ₁ * t) * v₁ + c₂ * exp(λ₂ * t) * v₂, where c₁ and c₂ are constants.

Given the initial condition x(0) = [x₁(0), x₂(0)], we can substitute t = 0 into the general solution and solve for the constants.

x(0) = c₁ * exp(λ₁ * 0) * v₁ + c₂ * exp(λ₂ * 0) * v₂

x(0) = c₁ * v₁ + c₂ * v₂

Let's denote x(0) as [x₁(0), x₂(0)]:

[x₁(0), x₂(0)] = c₁ * v₁ + c₂ * v₂

The region R is the area between the x-axis and the curve y = 3 + 3x^2 for 0 < x < 2.

(b) Evaluation of the integral ∫∫R 2ydxdy:

To evaluate the integral, we need to set up the limits of integration based on the region R.

∫∫R 2ydxdy = ∫[0,2]∫[0,3+3x²] 2y dy dx

First, integrate with respect to y:

∫[0,2] [y²] [0,3+3x²] dx

= ∫[0,2] (3+3x²)² dx

Now, integrate with respect to x:

= ∫[0,2] (9 + 18x² + 9x^4) dx

= [9x + 6x³ + (3/5)x^5] [0,2]

= (9(2) + 6(2)³ + (3/5)(2)^5) - (9(0) + 6(0)³ + (3/5)(0)^5)

= 18 + 48 + 96/5

= 354/5

= 70.8

Therefore, the value of the integral ∫∫R 2ydxdy is 70.8.

(c) Calculation of the Jacobian determinant:

To calculate the Jacobian determinant for the change of coordinates (x, y) = (v, w(1 + v²)), we need to find the partial derivatives:

∂x/∂v = 1

∂x/∂w = 2vw

∂y/∂v = 0

∂y/∂w = 1 + v²

Now, we can calculate the Jacobian determinant:

∂(x, y)/∂(v,w) = det (∂x/∂u ∂x/∂w)

(∂y/∂v ∂y/∂w)

= det (1 2vw)

(0 1 + v²)

= (1)(1 + v²) - (0)(2vw)

= 1 + v²

Therefore, the Jacobian determinant for the change of coordinates is 1 + v².

(d) Correspondence of region R in the xy-plane to region S in the vw-plane:

In the vw-plane, the region S is defined as S = [0,2] × [0,3], which represents a rectangle in the vw-plane.

In the xy-plane, the change of coordinates (x, y) = (v, w(1 + v²)) maps the region R to the region S. Therefore, region R corresponds to the rectangle S = [0,2] × [0,3].

Use integration by substitution to calculate S √x(x² + 1)³ dx.

Answers

The integral is (1/2)(x² + 1)^(5/2)/5 + C, where C is the constant of integration.

To solve the integral ∫√x(x² + 1)³ dx using integration by substitution, we make the substitution u = x² + 1. Taking the derivative of u with respect to x, we have du = 2x dx, which implies dx = du/(2x).

Substituting u and dx in terms of du, the integral becomes:

∫√x(x² + 1)³ dx = ∫√x(x² + 1)³ (du/(2x))

Simplifying, we have:

(1/2) ∫(x² + 1)³/2 d

Now we integrate the new expression with respect to u, treating x as a constant:

(1/2) ∫u³/2 du = (1/2)(2/5)u^(5/2) + C

Substituting back for u, we get:

(1/2)(x² + 1)^(5/2)/5 + C

Hence, the final result of the integral is (1/2)(x² + 1)^(5/2)/5 + C, where C is the constant of integration.

What is Equation?

In its simplest form in algebra, the definition of an equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two mathematical expressions are equal. For example, 3x + 5 = 14 is an equation in which 3x + 5 and 14 are two expressions separated by an "equals" sign.

To find the solution of the differential equation x + y" + 5xy' + (4 – 4x)y = 0, we assume the solution has the form y(x) = ∑[n=0 to ∞] [tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  xⁿ eⁿx, where [tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  is a constant coefficient to be determined.

First, we calculate the first and second derivatives of y(x):

y'(x) = ∑[n=0 to ∞] [tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  [(n+1)xⁿ eⁿx + n[tex]\rm x^{(n-1)[/tex] eⁿx]

y''(x) = ∑[n=0 to ∞] [tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  [(n+1)(n+2)[tex]\rm x^{(n+1)[/tex] eⁿx + 2(n+1)xⁿ eⁿx + n[tex]\rm x^{(n-1)[/tex] eⁿx]

Next, we substitute the solution and its derivatives into the differential equation:

x + y" + 5xy' + (4 – 4x)y = 0

x + ∑[n=0 to ∞] [tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  [(n+1)(n+2)[tex]\rm x^{(n+1)[/tex]  eⁿx + 2(n+1)xⁿ eⁿx + n[tex]\rm x^{(n-1)[/tex]  eⁿx] + 5x ∑[n=0 to ∞] [tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  [(n+1)xⁿ eⁿx + n[tex]\rm x^{(n-1)[/tex]  eⁿx] + (4 – 4x) ∑[n=0 to ∞] [tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  xⁿ eⁿx = 0

Now, let's group terms with the same powers of x:

∑[n=0 to ∞] [tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  [(n+1)(n+2)[tex]\rm x^{(n+2)[/tex]  eⁿx + (2n+5)[tex]\rm x^{(n+1)[/tex]  eⁿx + (n+4 – 4n)xⁿ eⁿx] = 0

To satisfy the equation for all values of x, each term in the summation must be equal to zero. We can equate the coefficients of xⁿ eⁿx to zero:

For n = 0:

(a₀)[(1)(2)x² e⁰x + (2)(0+5)x¹ e⁰x + (0+4 – 4(0))x⁰ e⁰x] = 0

2a₀x² + 10a₀x + 4a₀= 0

For n ≥ 1:

([tex]\rm a_n[/tex] )[((n+1)(n+2)[tex]\rm x^{(n+2)[/tex] + (2n+5)[tex]\rm x^{(n+1)[/tex]  + (n+4 – 4n)xⁿ)] = 0

Now, let's determine the values of [tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  for each case:

For n = 0:

2a₀= 0 (coefficients of x²)

10a₀ = 0 (coefficients of x¹)

4a₀ = 0 (coefficients of x⁰)

The above equations yield a₀ = 0.

For n ≥ 1:

(n+1)(n+2)[tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  + (2n+5)[tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  + (n+4 – 4n)[tex]\rm a_n[/tex]  = 0

(n+1)(n+2) + (2n+5) + (n+4 – 4n) = 0

n² + 3n + 2 + 2n + 5 + n + 4 – 4n = 0

n² + 2n + 11 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we find the roots of the above equation as n = -1 ± √3i.

Therefore, the solution of the differential equation is given by:

Consider the curve C in the xy-plane given by the portion of x² + y² = a² for y≥0. Evaluate ∫c xy ds.
a. 2a²
b. 0
c. a
d. a²

Answers

Given the portion of x² + y² = a² for y≥0, we have to evaluate the integral ∫c xy ds. Let's find the parametric equations of the given curve. The equation x² + y² = a² represents a circle of radius a centered at the origin of the xy-plane.

The portion of the circle for y≥0 will be parametrized by: x = a cos t and y = a sin t, where 0 ≤ t ≤ π.So, the parametric equations of the curve C are: x = a cos ty = a sin t Then we need to calculate the differential arc length ds on the curve C.ds = √(dx/dt)² + (dy/dt)² dtds = √(a² sin²t + a² cos²t) dt= a dt Integral ∫c xy ds becomes: ∫0π (a cos t) (a sin t) a dt = a³ ∫0π sin t cos t dt

Now we apply the identity sin 2t = 2 sin t cos t:∫0π sin t cos t dt = 1/2 ∫0π sin 2t dt= 1/2 [-cos 2t]0π= 1/2 [-cos 2π + cos 0]= 1/2 (1 - 1) = 0Therefore, the value of the integral ∫c xy ds is 0.Option b is the correct option.

Hospital records show that 425 of the 850 patients who contracted a strain of influenza recovered within a week without medication. A doctor prescribes a new medication to 120 patients, and 75 of them recover within a week. Use normal approximation to determine if the doctor can be at least 98% certain that the medication has been effective.

Answers

To determine if the doctor can be at least 98% certain that the medication has been effective, we can use the normal approximation.

Let's define the null hypothesis (H0) as "the medication is not effective" and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) as "the medication is effective." We want to test if the proportion of patients recovering with the medication is significantly different from the proportion of patients recovering without medication.

The proportion of patients recovering without medication is 425/850 = 0.5, and the proportion of patients recovering with the medication is 75/120 = 0.625. To conduct the test, we calculate the test statistic, which is the z-score. The formula for the z-score of a proportion is given by (p - P) / sqrt(P(1 - P) / n), where p is the sample proportion, P is the hypothesized proportion under the null hypothesis, and n is the sample size.

In this case, p = 0.625, P = 0.5, and n = 120. Plugging these values into the formula, we can calculate the z-score. Next, we look up the critical z-value for a 98% confidence level. This critical value corresponds to the z-value that leaves 2% in the upper tail of the standard normal distribution. If the calculated z-score exceeds the critical z-value, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the medication is effective with at least 98% confidence.

Determine the optimal solution to this nonlinear programming model using the method of Lagrange multipliers

15. Interpret the mening of λ,the Lagrange maltiplies in Problem 14.

Answers

The Riverwood Paneling Company has a nonlinear programming model to maximize profit by determining the optimal number of Colonial and Western paneling sheets to produce, subject to a labor constraint. The method of Lagrange multipliers is used to find the optimal solution.

The given nonlinear programming model aims to maximize the profit function Z, which is defined as $25x1 + 30x2 - 0.8x1² - 1.2x2². The decision variables x1 and x2 represent the number of sheets of Colonial and Western paneling to produce, respectively. The objective is to maximize profit while satisfying the labor constraint of x1 + 2x2 = 40 hours.

To solve this problem using the method of Lagrange multipliers, we introduce a Lagrange multiplier λ to incorporate the labor constraint into the objective function. The Lagrangian function L is defined as:

L(x1, x2, λ) = $25x1 + 30x2 - 0.8x1² - 1.2x2² + λ(x1 + 2x2 - 40)

By taking partial derivatives of L with respect to x1, x2, and λ, and setting them equal to zero, we can find the critical points of L. Solving these equations simultaneously provides the optimal values for x1, x2, and λ.

The Lagrange multiplier λ represents the rate of change of the objective function with respect to the labor constraint. In other words, it quantifies the marginal value of an additional hour of labor in terms of profit. The optimal solution occurs when λ is equal to the marginal value of an hour of labor. Therefore, λ helps determine the trade-off between increasing labor hours and maximizing profit.

(a) Solve the following equation, where t is in the interval [0,π/2].
cos² (t) = 3/4
(b) Solve the following equation.
log10 (x + 1) + log10 (x - 2) = 1

Answers

(a) The solution to the equation cos²(t) = 3/4, where t is in the interval [0, π/2], is t = π/3 and t = 2π/3.

(b) The solution to the equation log10(x + 1) + log10(x - 2) = 1 is x = 3.

(a) To solve cos²(t) = 3/4, we take the square root of both sides to get cos(t) = ±√(3/4). Since t is in the interval [0, π/2], we only consider the positive square root, which gives cos(t) = √(3/4) = √3/2. From the unit circle, we know that cos(t) = √3/2 when t = π/6 and t = 5π/6 within the given interval.

(b) To solve log10(x + 1) + log10(x - 2) = 1, we use logarithmic properties to combine the logarithms: log10[(x + 1)(x - 2)] = 1. This simplifies to log10(x^2 - x - 2) = 1. Converting it to exponential form, we have 10^1 = x^2 - x - 2. This leads to x^2 - x - 12 = 0, which factors as (x - 4)(x + 3) = 0. Therefore, x = 4 or x = -3. However, we need to consider the domain of the logarithmic function. Since log10(x + 1) and log10(x - 2) require positive arguments, the only valid solution within the given equation is x = 3.

In conclusion, the solutions to the equations are (a) t = π/3 and t = 2π/3 for cos²(t) = 3/4, and (b) x = 3 for log10(x + 1) + log10(x - 2) = 1.

Using the following data, compute a weighted average using a weight of 2 for the most recent, .3 for the next, then .5 for the last. * Period 1 2 3 4 5 AWN Demand 42 40 42 41 48

Answers

To compute the weighted average, we need to multiply each data point by its corresponding weight, sum up the weighted values, and then divide by the sum of the weights.

Given the data:

Period: 1 2 3 4 5

AWN Demand: 42 40 42 41 48

Weights: 2, 0.3, 0.5

Multiply each demand value by its corresponding weight:

Weighted values: (2)(42), (0.3)(40), (0.5)(42), (0.5)(41), (0.5)(48)

Simplifying:

Weighted values: 84, 12, 21, 20.5, 24

Now, sum up the weighted values:

Sum of weighted values: 84 + 12 + 21 + 20.5 + 24 = 161.5

Sum up the weights:

Sum of weights: 2 + 0.3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 3.8

Finally, compute the weighted average by dividing the sum of the weighted values by the sum of the weights:

Weighted average = Sum of weighted values / Sum of weights = 161.5 / 3.8 ≈ 42.5

Therefore, the weighted average demand is approximately 42.5.

a) [2 marks] Suppose X~ N(μ, σ²) and Z = X-μ / σ . What is the distribution of Σ₁ Z²?
b) [4 marks] Let X₁, X₂, ..., X₁, be a random sample, where Xi ~ N(u, σ²) and X denote a sample mean. Show that
Σ [(Xi - μ) (X - μ) / σ^2] ~ X1,2

Answers

a. The distribution of Σ₁ Z² is χ²(n).

b. We can conclude that Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] ~ X₁,2.

a) The distribution of Σ₁ Z² can be derived as follows:

Let Zᵢ = (Xᵢ - μ) / σ for i = 1, 2, ..., n, where Xᵢ ~ N(μ, σ²).

We have Σ₁ Z² = Z₁² + Z₂² + ... + Zₙ².

Using the property of the chi-squared distribution, we know that if Zᵢ ~ N(0, 1), then Zᵢ² ~ χ²(1) (chi-squared distribution with 1 degree of freedom).

Since Zᵢ = (Xᵢ - μ) / σ, we can rewrite Zᵢ² as ((Xᵢ - μ) / σ)².

Substituting this into the expression for Σ₁ Z², we get:

Σ₁ Z² = ((X₁ - μ) / σ)² + ((X₂ - μ) / σ)² + ... + ((Xₙ - μ) / σ)²

Simplifying further, we have:

Σ₁ Z² = (X₁ - μ)² / σ² + (X₂ - μ)² / σ² + ... + (Xₙ - μ)² / σ²

This expression can be recognized as the sum of squared deviations from the mean, divided by σ², which is the definition of the chi-squared distribution with n degrees of freedom, denoted as χ²(n).

Therefore, the distribution of Σ₁ Z² is χ²(n).

b) To show that Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] ~ X₁,2, we can use the properties of the sample mean and the covariance.

Let X₁, X₂, ..., Xₙ be a random sample, where Xᵢ ~ N(μ, σ²), and let X denote the sample mean.

We know that the sample mean X is an unbiased estimator of the population mean μ, i.e., E(X) = μ.

Now, let's consider the expression Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²]:

Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] = (X₁ - μ)(X - μ) / σ² + (X₂ - μ)(X - μ) / σ² + ... + (Xₙ - μ)(X - μ) / σ²

Expanding this expression, we get:

Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] = (X₁X - X₁μ - Xμ + μ²) / σ² + (X₂X - X₂μ - Xμ + μ²) / σ² + ... + (XₙX - Xₙμ - Xμ + μ²) / σ²

Rearranging terms and simplifying, we have:

Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] = (X₁X₂ + X₁X₃ + ... + X₁Xₙ + X₂X₁ + X₂X₃ + ... + X₂Xₙ + ... + XₙXₙ) / σ² - n(Xμ + μX) / σ² + nμ² / σ²

We can rewrite this expression as:

Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] = (Σᵢ₌₁ₜₒₙ₋₁ XᵢXⱼ - nXμ - nμX + nμ²) / σ²

The term Σᵢ₌₁ₜₒₙ₋₁ XᵢXⱼ represents the sum of all possible pairwise products of the Xᵢ values.

The sum of all possible pairwise products of a random sample from a normal distribution follows a scaled chi-square distribution. Specifically, it follows the distribution of n(n-1)/2 times the sample covariance.

Therefore, we have:

Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] = (n(n-1)/2) Cov(Xᵢ, Xⱼ) / σ² - nXμ - nμX + nμ²

The term Cov(Xᵢ, Xⱼ) / σ² represents the correlation between Xᵢ and Xⱼ.

Since Xᵢ and Xⱼ are independent and identically distributed, their correlation is zero, i.e., Cov(Xᵢ, Xⱼ) = 0.

Substituting this into the expression, we get:

Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] = 0 - nXμ - nμX + nμ²

Simplifying further, we have:

Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] = - 2nXμ + nμ²

We can rewrite this expression as:

Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] = - 2nX(μ - X) + nμ²

Now, we know that X - μ ~ N(0, σ²/n) (since X is the sample mean), and X - μ is independent of X.

Using this information, we can rewrite the expression as:

Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] = - 2nX(μ - X) + nμ² = - 2nX(X - μ) + nμ² = - 2n(X - μ)² + nμ²

The expression - 2n(X - μ)² + nμ² can be recognized as a constant times a chi-square distribution with 1 degree of freedom so Σ [(Xᵢ - μ) (X - μ) / σ²] ~ X₁,2.

determine which of these two strains deforms the element in the x′ direction if the orientation of the element is θp = -15.2 ∘

Answers

After considering the orientation of the element we can say that if ε1 and ε2 have the same sign, the strain component εx' will dominate and deform the element in the x' direction.

To determine which strain component deforms the element in the x' direction, we need to consider the orientation of the element and the strain components in the coordinate system aligned with the element.

Let's assume we have two strain components: εx' and εy', representing the strains in the x' and y' directions, respectively.

Given that the orientation of the element is θp = -15.2°, we can relate the strain components εx' and εy' to the principal strains ε1 and ε2 using the following equations:

εx' = ε1 * cos^2(θp) + ε2 * sin^2(θp)

εy' = ε1 * sin^2(θp) + ε2 * cos^2(θp)

To determine which strain component deforms the element in the x' direction, we need to compare the magnitudes of εx' and εy'. Since the element is deforming in the x' direction, we are interested in the strain component that contributes more to the deformation.

Comparing the coefficients in the equations above, we can see that the terms involving cos^2(θp) contribute to εx', while the terms involving sin^2(θp) contribute to εy'.

Given θp = -15.2°, cos^2(θp) is greater than sin^2(θp). Therefore, εx' will be larger than εy' if ε1 and ε2 have the same sign.

In summary, if ε1 and ε2 have the same sign, the strain component εx' will dominate and deform the element in the x' direction.

where a and b are the endpoints of the interval. In this case, a = 1 and b = 2.

So the expression to find the average rate of change is:

lim h→0 [f(2) - f(1)] / (2 - 1).

Now, let's substitute the function y = √(3x - 2) into the expression:

lim h→0 [√(3(2) - 2) - √(3(1) - 2)] / (2 - 1).

Simplifying further:

lim h→0 [√(6 - 2) - √(3 - 2)] / (2 - 1),

lim h→0 [√4 - √1] / 1,

lim h→0 [2 - 1] / 1,

lim h→0 1.

Therefore, the average rate of change of the function over the interval [1, 2] is 1.

The correct choice is (c) f(2) + f(1) / (2 + 1).

A 2018 poll of 3618 randomly selected users of a social media site found that 2463 get most of their news about world events on the site. Research done in 2013 found that only ​46% of all the site users reported getting their news about world events on this site.
a. Does this sample give evidence that the proportion of site users who get their world news on this site has changed since​2013? Carry out a hypothesis test and use a significance level.
ii. Compute the​ z-test statistic.
z= ?

Answers

To test whether the proportion of site users who get their world news on this site has changed since 2013, we can conduct a hypothesis test.

Let's define the following hypotheses:

Null Hypothesis (H₀): The proportion of site users who get their world news on this site is still 46% (no change since 2013).

Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): The proportion of site users who get their world news on this site has changed.

We will use a significance level (α) to determine the threshold for rejecting the null hypothesis. Let's assume a significance level of 0.05 (5%).

To perform the hypothesis test, we will calculate the z-test statistic, which measures the number of standard deviations the sample proportion is away from the hypothesized proportion.

The formula for the z-test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{{\hat{p} - p_0}}{{\sqrt{\frac{{p_0(1 - p_0)}}{n}}}}[/tex]

Where:

cap on p is the sample proportion ([tex]\frac{2463}{3618}[/tex] in this case)

p₀ is the hypothesized proportion (0.46 in this case)

n is the sample size (3618 in this case)

Calculating the z-test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{{0.68 - 0.46}}{{\sqrt{\frac{{0.46 \cdot (1 - 0.46)}}{{3618}}}}}\\\\= \frac{{0.22}}{{\sqrt{\frac{{0.2488}}{{3618}}}}}\\\\\approx \frac{{0.22}}{{0.003527}}\\\\\approx 62.43[/tex]

Therefore, the z-test statistic is approximately 62.43.

Next, we would compare the calculated z-test statistic to the critical value from the standard normal distribution at the chosen significance level (α = 0.05). If the calculated z-value is beyond the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is evidence that the proportion of site users who get their world news on this site has changed since 2013.

(a) what value of corresponds to the cusp you see on the polar graph at the origin?

Answers

The answer cannot be determined without more context.Given: The cusp on the polar graph at the origin

We are to find the value of theta corresponding to the cusp on the polar graph at the origin. Since there is no polar graph attached to the question, we'll have to assume that the polar graph of the function is given by r = f(θ),

where f(θ) is a continuous function of θ that defines the shape of the curve.

There are different types of cusps, but the most common type of cusp in polar coordinates is the vertical cusp, which is formed when the curve intersects itself vertically at the origin (r = 0).

This occurs when the function f(θ) has a vertical tangent at θ = 0.To find the value of θ corresponding to the cusp at the origin, we need to determine the value of θ for which f(θ) has a vertical tangent at θ = 0.

This means that f'(θ) is undefined at θ = 0 and that f'(θ) approaches ∞ as θ approaches 0 from the left and from the right. Since we do not have the function f(θ), we cannot determine the value of θ that corresponds to the cusp without additional information. Therefore, the answer cannot be determined without more context.

Thinking: 7. If a and are vectors in R³ so that |a| = |B| = 5and |à + b1 = 5/3 determine the value of (3 - 2b) - (b + 4ä). [4T]

Answers

The value of (3-2b) - (b+4a) is 32. To calculate the given vector we will have to apply the laws of vector addition, subtraction, and the magnitude of a vector. So, let's first calculate the value of |a + b|. As |a| = |b| = 5, we can say that the magnitude of both vectors is equal to 5.

Therefore, |a + b| = √{(a1 + b1)² + (a2 + b2)² + (a3 + b3)²}

Putting the given values in the above equation, we get

|a + b| = √{(3b1)² + (2b2)² + (4a3)²}

= (5/3)

Squaring on both sides we get 9b1² + 4b2² + 16a3² = 25/9

Given vector (3-2b) - (b+4a) = 3 - 2b - b - 4a

= 3 - 3b - 4a

Now substituting the value of |a| and |b| in the above equation, we get

|(3-2b) - (b+4a)| = |3 - 3b - 4a|

= |(-4a) + (-3b + 3)|

= |-4a| + |-3b + 3|

= 4|a| + 3|b - 1|

= 4(5) + 3(5-1)

= 20 + 12 which values to 32. Therefore, the value of (3-2b) - (b+4a) is 32.

How do you determine the mean in order to calculate the Poisson
probabilities?

Answers

To calculate Poisson probabilities, you need the mean value (λ) of the distribution. Mean = average # of events in fixed interval/space. The Poisson PMF calculates event probability based on mean value and number of events in a given interval or space.

What is  Poisson probabilities?

To calculate Poisson probabilities, use the formula with λ and k values. Determine λ based on context or problem. Use data to calculate mean by taking the average.

The Poisson experiment is linked to a random variable labeled as X, which is the numerical value representing the frequency of occurrences within a specific timeframe. The Poisson distribution utilizes λ as the mean number of events that occur within a given timeframe. A Poisson probability distribution has an average of λ, which is also the mean, and a standard deviation of √λ.

Answers

A 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean speeds, in kilometers per hour, of motorcycles and cars at the intersection can be constructed as follows:

To calculate the 45% confidence interval for the difference between the mean speeds of motorcycles and cars, we'll use the following formula:

Lower limit = X¯1 - X¯2 - Zα/2 * sqrt(S1^2/n1 + S2^2/n2)Upper limit = X¯1 - X¯2 + Zα/2 * sqrt(S1^2/n1 + S2^2/n2)

Where X¯1 = 24.34 km/h, X¯2 = 38.74 km/h, S1 = 2.47 km/h, S2 = 3.34 km/h, n1 = 40 and n2 = 147.

From the normal distribution table, we obtain Zα/2 = 1.645 (for a 95% confidence interval).

Plugging these values into the formula, we have:

Lower limit = 24.34 - 38.74 - 1.645 * sqrt((2.47^2 / 40) + (3.34^2 / 147)) = -17.00 km/h

Upper limit = 24.34 - 38.74 + 1.645 * sqrt((2.47^2 / 40) + (3.34^2 / 147)) = -12.05 km/h

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean speeds of motorcycles and cars at the intersection is (-17.00 km/h, -12.05 km/h).

17. Find the following z values for the standard normal variable Z. a. P(Z≤ z) = 0.9744 b. P(Z > z)= 0.8389 c. P-z≤ Z≤ z) = 0.95 d. P(0 ≤ Z≤ z) = 0.3315

Answers

To find the corresponding z-values for specific probabilities in the standard normal distribution, we can use the standard normal distribution table or a statistical calculator.

(a) To find the z-value corresponding to P(Z ≤ z) = 0.9744, we need to locate the probability in the standard normal distribution table. The closest value to 0.9744 in the table is 0.975, which corresponds to a z-value of approximately 1.96. (b) To find the z-value corresponding to P(Z > z) = 0.8389, we can subtract the given probability from 1. The resulting probability is 1 - 0.8389 = 0.1611. By locating this probability in the standard normal distribution table, the closest value is 0.160, corresponding to a z-value of approximately -0.99.

(c) To find the z-values corresponding to P(-z ≤ Z ≤ z) = 0.95, we need to find the probability split equally on both sides. Since the total probability is 0.95, each tail will have (1 - 0.95)/2 = 0.025. The closest value to 0.025 in the table corresponds to a z-value of approximately -1.96 and 1.96.

(d) To find the z-values corresponding to P(0 ≤ Z ≤ z) = 0.3315, we can subtract the given probability from 1 and then divide it by 2. The resulting probability is (1 - 0.3315)/2 = 0.33425. By locating this probability in the standard normal distribution table, the closest value is 0.335, corresponding to a z-value of approximately -0.43 and 0.43.

3. An object moves along the x-axis. The velocity of the object at time t is given by v(t), and the acceleration of the object at time t is given by a(t). Which of the following gives the average velocity of the object from time t= 0 to time t = 5 ?
A. a(5) - a (0)/5
B. 1/2 ∫⁵₀ v (t) dt
C. v(5) - v (0)/5
D.1/5 ∫⁵₀ v (t) dt

Answers

The expression that gives the average velocity of the object from time t = 0 to time t = 5 is the option C. v(5) - v(0) / 5.

We know that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object over time (t). So we can write acceleration mathematically as follows: a(t) = dv(t) / dt Where v(t) is the velocity function. Now, since we want to find the average velocity of the object from time t = 0 to time t = 5, we can apply the formula for the average velocity which is given as follows: Average velocity = (final displacement - initial displacement) / time interval

Now, since the object is moving along the x-axis, we can replace displacement with the distance travelled along the x-axis. Therefore, we have: Average velocity = (distance travelled between t = 0 and t = 5) / (time taken to travel this distance)We don't know the distance travelled directly, but we can find it using the velocity function. This is because velocity is the rate of change of distance over time. Therefore, we can write: distance travelled between t = 0 and t = 5 = ∫⁵₀ v(t) dt where ∫⁵₀ v(t) dt represents the integral of the velocity function from t = 0 to t = 5.

Now, using the formula for the average velocity, we have: Average velocity = [ ∫⁵₀ v(t) dt ] / 5

Notice that we have 5 in the denominator because the time interval is from t = 0 to t = 5. Thus, option D. 1/5 ∫⁵₀ v(t) dt is also incorrect. Finally, we have the option C. v(5) - v(0) / 5. This is the correct answer as it can be obtained by rearranging the formula for the average velocity as follows: Average velocity = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time interval Therefore, we have: Average velocity = (v(5) - v(0)) / 5Therefore, the answer is option C. v(5) - v(0) / 5.
