A counselor at the local chapter of Impulse Buyers Anonymous had just conducted a weekend workshop on how to be less suggestible. To find out if the workshop had any effect, she had each participant fill out a questionnaire that measured suggestibility, with high scores indicating high suggestibility. (Several such questionnaires exist.) Suppose that the national norm (mean) for the questionnaire that was used was 25 and that the participants produced the following statistics. Construct a 95 percent confidence interval and sentence of interpretation that tells about the effect of the workshop.ΣΧ = 242 ΣΧ2 = 5,413 N = 11
Answer:
(20.322 ; 23.678)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
ΣΧ = 242 ; ΣΧ2 = 5,413 ; N = 11
Mean, m = ΣΧ / N = 242 / 11 = 22
Standard deviation = sqrt[(ΣΧ2/N) - (ΣΧ/N)²]
Standard deviation = sqrt[(5413/11) - (242/11)^2]
Standard deviation = sqrt(8.0909090) = 2.84
Confidence interval = m ± Zcritical * s/sqrt(n)
Zcritical at 95% = 1.96
Lower boundary = 22 - 1.96*2.84/sqrt(11)
Lower boundary = 22 - (1.96 * 0.8562922) = 20.322
Upper boundary = 22 + (1.96 * 0.8562922) = 23.678

It is estimated that 3% of the athletes competing in a large tournament are users of an illegal drug to enhance performance. Athletes are tested to see if they are using illegal drugs or not using illegal drugs and the test can come back positive or negative. The test for this drug is 90% accurate for non-drug users (this means there is a 90% chance the test comes back negative if the person is a non-user). What is the probability that an athlete tests negative and is not a user of an illegal drug
Answer:
0.873 = 87.3% probability that an athlete tests negative and is not a user of an illegal drug
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Not a user of an illegal drug.
Event B: Tests negative.
The test for this drug is 90% accurate for non-drug users (this means there is a 90% chance the test comes back negative if the person is a non-user)
This means that [tex]P(B|A) = 0.9[/tex]
It is estimated that 3% of the athletes competing in a large tournament are users of an illegal drug to enhance performance.
So 100 - 3 = 97% probability that the athlete does not use the drug, so [tex]P(A) = 0.97[/tex]
What is the probability that an athlete tests negative and is not a user of an illegal drug
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.9*0.97 = 0.873[/tex]
0.873 = 87.3% probability that an athlete tests negative and is not a user of an illegal drug

The volume inside a rectangular storage room is 2061 feet The room is 9 feet high find the area of the floor
Answer:
229 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the volume is 2061 ft³, not 2061 ft.
area of floor = volume÷height = (2061 ft³)/(9 ft) = 229 ft²
What is the height of a triangle, if the area is 20 square inches and the base is 5 inches? Be sure that you can explain how you found your answer.
so normally we would be finding the area of a triangle which is a=h*b/2
but in this case we are finding the height so theirs 3 ways to do this but i prefer the basic way
20=1/2(5)h
20=2.5
8=h
and to find out if that was correct lets do 8*5=40 40/ 2 =20 so this is correct
the height is 8
Answer:8

9514 1404 393
Answer:
(A) -7
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is continuous if you can draw its graph without lifting your pencil. In this case, that means each of the piecewise function definitions must have the same value at x=3.
x^2 +2 = 6x +k . . . . . must be true at x=3
3^2 +2 = 6(3) +k . . . . substitute 3 for x
9 +2 -18 = k . . . . . . . . subtract 18
k = -7 . . . . . . . simplify

The answer to this question depends on you understanding that both girls will be side by side when the second one catches the first. So the distances will be equal
That means that
.44t = 35t + 7.2 Subtract 0.35t from both sides
0.44t - .35t = 7.2
0.09 t = 7.2 Divide
t = 7.2/0.09
t = 80 minutes
How far apart are they from the starting point?
d = 0.44t
d = 0.44 * 80
d = 35.2 km from the starting point.

URGENT! Please answer!
Answer: 22/3
Step-by-step explanation:
So, the first step is to add 9/2 to both sides. We cant do that unless there is a common denominator between -8/3 and 9/2. I will leave the 1/4 alone because we will have to divide that later. When you divide a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal, which doesnt require a change in denominator. That is my reason for not changing the 1/4.
The common denominator of the two would be 6.
[tex]-\frac{16}{6} =\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{27}{6}[/tex]
Add the 27/6 to both sides
[tex]\frac{11}{6}=\frac{1}{4}x[/tex]
Divide the 1/4 to both sides
[tex]x=\frac{11}{6}*\frac{4}{1} =\frac{44}{6}= \frac{22}{3}[/tex]

Simon's monthly take-home pay after taxes) is $2100. If he pays 22% of his gross pay (before taxes) in tax, what is his gross pay?
Simon's gross pay is $
(Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)
Answer:
[tex]approximately \: 2692 \: dollars[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2100 = x \times 0.78[/tex]
We take both sides divided by 0.78
[tex]2100 \div 0.78 = x \\ 2692 = x \\ x = 2692 \: dollars[/tex]

The ground temperature at airport is 12 degrees. The temperature decreases by 5.2 degrees for every mile above ground. What would be temperature outside plane located at 3 miles above the airport
Answer:
The outside plane located at 3 miles above the airport is of -3.6 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ground temperature at airport is 12 degrees. The temperature decreases by 5.2 degrees for every mile above ground.
This means that the temperature in n miles above ground is given by:
[tex]T(n) = 12 - 5.2n[/tex]
What would be temperature outside plane located at 3 miles above the airport
This is T(3). So
[tex]T(3) = 12 - 5.2*3 = 12 - 15.6 = -3.6[/tex]
The outside plane located at 3 miles above the airport is of -3.6 degrees.
