Answer 1

Answer:

1) [tex] E(M) = 14*0.3 + 10*0.4 + 19*0.3 = 13.9 \%[/tex]

2) [tex]E(J)= 22*0.3 + 4*0.4 + 12*0.3 = 11.8 \%[/tex]

3) [tex] E(M^2) = 14^2*0.3 + 10^2*0.4 + 19^2*0.3 = 207.1 [/tex]

And the variance would be given by:

[tex]Var (M)= E(M^2) -[E(M)]^2 = 207.1 -(13.9^2)= 13.89[/tex]

And the deviation would be:

[tex] Sd(M) = \sqrt{13.89}= 3.73[/tex]

4) [tex] E(J^2) = 22^2*0.3 + 4^2*0.4 + 12^2*0.3 =194.8 [/tex]

And the variance would be given by:

[tex]Var (J)= E(J^2) -[E(J)]^2 = 194.8 -(11.8^2)= 55.56[/tex]

And the deviation would be:

[tex] Sd(M) = \sqrt{55.56}= 7.45[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following distributions given:

Probability  M   J

0.3           14%  22%

0.4           10%    4%

0.3           19%    12%

Part 1

The expected value is given by this formula:

[tex] E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] E(M) = 14*0.3 + 10*0.4 + 19*0.3 = 13.9 \%[/tex]

Part 2

[tex]E(J)= 22*0.3 + 4*0.4 + 12*0.3 = 11.8 \%[/tex]

Part 3

We can calculate the second moment first with the following formula:

[tex] E(M^2) = 14^2*0.3 + 10^2*0.4 + 19^2*0.3 = 207.1 [/tex]

And the variance would be given by:

[tex]Var (M)= E(M^2) -[E(M)]^2 = 207.1 -(13.9^2)= 13.89[/tex]

And the deviation would be:

[tex] Sd(M) = \sqrt{13.89}= 3.73[/tex]

Part 4

We can calculate the second moment first with the following formula:

[tex] E(J^2) = 22^2*0.3 + 4^2*0.4 + 12^2*0.3 =194.8 [/tex]

And the variance would be given by:

[tex]Var (J)= E(J^2) -[E(J)]^2 = 194.8 -(11.8^2)= 55.56[/tex]

And the deviation would be:

[tex] Sd(M) = \sqrt{55.56}= 7.45[/tex]

Answers

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.

Someone claims that the breaking strength of their climbing rope is 2,000 psi, with a standard deviation of 10 psi. We think the actual amount is lower than that and want to run the test at an alpha level of 5%. What would our sample size need to be if we want to reject the null hypothesis if the sample mean is at or below 1,997.2956?

Answers

Answer:

The sample size must be greater than 37 if we want to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that someone claims that the breaking strength of their climbing rope is 2,000 psi, with a standard deviation of 10 psi.

Also, we are given a level of significance of 5%.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean breaking strength of their climbing rope

SO, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 2,000 psi       {means that the mean breaking strength of their climbing rope is 2,000 psi}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] < 2,000 psi      {means that the mean breaking strength of their climbing rope is lower than 2,000 psi}

Now, the test statistics that we will use here is One-sample z-test statistics as we know about population standard deviation;

                         T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = ample mean strength = 1,997.2956 psi

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard devaition = 10 psi

            n = sample size

Now, at the 5% level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of -1.645 for the left-tailed test.

So, to reject our null hypothesis our test statistics must be less than -1.645 as only then we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis.

SO,  T.S. < -1.645   {then reject null hypothesis}

         [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < -1.645[/tex]

         [tex]\frac{1,997.2956-2,000}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{n} } } < -1.645[/tex]

         [tex](\frac{1,997.2956-2,000}{10}) \times {\sqrt{n} } } < -1.645[/tex]

          [tex]-0.27044 \times \sqrt{n}< -1.645[/tex]

               [tex]\sqrt{n}> \frac{-1.645}{-0.27044}[/tex]

                 [tex]\sqrt{n}>6.083[/tex]

                  n > 36.99 ≈ 37.

SO, the sample size must be greater than 37 if we want to reject the null hypothesis.

Lydia is going to invest $210 and leave it in an account for 17 years. Assuming the interest is compounded daily, what interest rate, to the nearest hundredth of a percent, would be required in order for Lydia to end up with $330?

Answers

Answer:

To the nearest hundredth of a percentage= 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for compound interest

A= p(1+r/n)^nt

A= $330

P= $210

n = 356

t= 17

r = ?

330 = 210(1+r/356)^(356*17)

330 = 210(1+r/356)^(6052)

330/210 = (1+r/356)^6052

(6052√(330/210) - 1 )356 = r

(1.000074686-1)356= r

0.02658 = r

The sum of an infinite geometric sequence is seven times the value of its first term.
a) Find the common ratio of the sequence.
b) Find the least number of terms of the sequence that must be added in order for the sum to exceed half the value of
the infinite sum.

Answers

Answer:

a). r = [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]

b). At least 5 terms should be added.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula representing sum of infinite geometric sequence is,

[tex]S_{\inf}=\frac{a}{1-r}[/tex]

Where a = first term of the sequence

r = common ratio

a). If the sum is seven times the value of its first term.

    [tex]7a=\frac{a}{1-r}[/tex]

    [tex]7=\frac{1}{1-r}[/tex]

    7(1 - r) = 1

    7 - 7r = 1

    7r = 7 - 1

    7r = 6

    r = [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]

b). Since sum of n terms of the geometric sequence is given by,

    [tex]S_{n}=\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r}[/tex]

If the sum of n terms of this sequence is more than half the value of the infinite sum.

[tex]\frac{a[1-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}]}{1-\frac{6}{7}}[/tex] >  [tex]\frac{7a}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}}{1-\frac{6}{7}}> \frac{7}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}}{\frac{1}{7}}> \frac{7}{2}[/tex]

[tex]1-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}> \frac{7}{2}\times \frac{1}{7}[/tex]

[tex]1-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}> \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]-(\frac{6}{7})^{n}> -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex](\frac{6}{7})^{n}< \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex](0.85714)^{n}< (0.5)[/tex]

n[log(0.85714)] < log(0.5)

-n(0.06695) < -0.30102

n > [tex]\frac{0.30102}{0.06695}[/tex]

n > 4.496

n > 4.5

Therefore, at least 5 terms of the sequence should be added.

answer fast please

Answers

Answer:

The recoil velocity of the gun is [tex]0.72\,\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex]  and is pointing in opposite direction to the velocity of the bullet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use conservation of linear momentum, which states that the momentum of the bullet (product of the bullet's mass times its speed) should equal in absolute value the momentum of the recoiling gun (its mass times its recoil velocity).

We also write the mass of the bullet in the same units as the mass of the gun (for example kilograms). Mass of the bullet = 0.010 kg

In mathematical terms, we have:

[tex]5\, kg * v= 0.01 \,kg\,* 360\,\frac{km}{h} \\v=\frac{0.01\,*360}{5} \,\,\frac{km}{h}\\v=0.72\,\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex]

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Now, to check whether [tex]x=5[/tex] is a true solution or not. Substitute [tex]x=5[/tex] in the LHS of given equation.

[tex]LHS=\log_2(5+11)[/tex]

[tex]LHS=\log_2(16)[/tex]

[tex]LHS=\log_22^4[/tex]

[tex]LHS=4[/tex]     [tex][\because log_aa^x=x][/tex]

Suppose 90 geology students measure the mass of an ore sample. Due to human error and limitations in the reliability of the​ balance, not all the readings are equal. The results are found to closely approximate a normal​ curve, with mean 88 g and standard deviation 1 g. Use the symmetry of the normal curve and the empirical rule as needed to estimate the number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g.The number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g is:________

Answers

Answer:

The number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g is 61

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 88g

Standard deviation = 1g

Percentage of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g

87 = 88-1

So 87 is one standard deviation below the mean.

89 = 88+1

So 89 is one standard deviation above the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of students are reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g.

Out of 90 students:

0.68*90 = 61.2

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

The number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g is 61

Which data collection method would provide an unbiased sample?

Answers

Answer:

The best data collection method or sampling method to provide an unbiased sample is the random sampling method.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 popular known sampling methods or data collection methods.

1) Random Sampling

In random sampling, each member of the population would have an equal chance of being surveyed. One of the best ways to use random sampling is to give all the members of the population numbers and then use computer to generate random numbers and pick the members of the population with those random numbers.

2) Systematic sampling is easier than random sampling. In systematic sampling, a particular number, n, is counted repeatedly and each of the nth member is picked to be sampled.

3) Convenience Sampling

This is the worst sampling technique. It is also the easiest. In Convenience sampling, the surveyor just picks the first set of members of the population that they find and surveys.

4) Stratified Sampling

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

5) Cluster sampling

Cluster Sampling divides the population into groups which are called clusters or blocks. The clusters are selected randomly, and some members or every element/member in the selected clusters is surveyed.

A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 260.5-cm and a standard deviation of 1.6-cm.

Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.

Answers

Answer:

P(M > 260.2-cm) = 0.702

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 260.5, \sigma = 1.6, n = 8, s = \frac{1.6}{\sqrt{8}} = 0.5657[/tex]

P(M > 260.2-cm)

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 260.2. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{260.2 - 260.5}{0.5657}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.53[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.53[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.298.

1 - 0.298 = 0.702

So

P(M > 260.2-cm) = 0.702

Please show me how to solve 40% of X is 23?

40% * x = 23   convert 40% to a decimal

0.4 * x = 23     multiply 0.4 is by x

0.4x = 23    divide both sides by 0.4

x= 57.5  

Check:  

57.5 * 40% = ?

57.5 * 0.4 = 23

Describe the rule for the sequence 2, 1, 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 1/7,...

Answers

Multiply 2 by 1/2 to get 1.

Multiply 1 by 2/3 to get 2/3.

Multiply 2/3 by 3/4 to get 6/12 = 1/2.

Multiply 1/2 by 4/5 to get 4/10 = 2/5.

Multiply 2/5 by 5/6 to get 10/30 = 1/3.

Multiply 1/3 by 6/7 to get 6/21 = 2/7. (I suspect there's a typo in the question.)

And so on, so that the nth term in the sequence is multiplied by n/(n + 1) to get the (n + 1)th term.

Recursively, the sequence is given by

[tex]\begin{cases}a_1=2\\a_n=\dfrac{n-1}na_{n-1}&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}[/tex]

We can solve this exactly by iterating:

[tex]a_n=\dfrac{n-1}na_{n-1}=\dfrac{n-1}n\dfrac{n-2}na_{n-1}=\dfrac{n-1}n\dfrac{n-2}{n-1}\dfrac{n-3}{n-2}a_{n-3}=\cdots[/tex]

and so on down to

[tex]a_n=\dfrac{(n-1)\cdot(n-2)\cdot(n-3)\cdot\cdots\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{n\cdot(n-1)\cdot(n-2)\cdot\cdots\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2}a_1[/tex]

or

[tex]a_n=\dfrac{(n-1)!}{n!}a_1[/tex]

and with lots of cancellation, we end up with

[tex]a_n=\dfrac{a_1}n=\boxed{\dfrac2n}[/tex]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 14 = 42 (He subtracted 14 from 42)

-8p = 28 (Which is how he got 28)

p = -3.5 (He took 28 divide by -8 which got him -3.5)

13. Carla drew two acute non-overlapping
angles that share a ray and labeled them
ZJLK and Z KLM. The two angles have
different measures. Carla says
ZILM is
greater than a right angle.
An acute angle is open
less than a right angle.​

Answers

Answer:

An acute angle is open

Step-by-step explanation:

An acute angle is an angle that is less than [tex]90^{0}[/tex]. Two or more acute angles are set to be complementary if their sum equals a right angle.

Clara's diagram involves two acute angles JLK and KLM with both sharing the side LK.

If the acute angles are complementary angles, then JLM would be a right angle.

If the acute angles are not complementary angles, then JLM would be less than a right angle.

So the appropriate choice to select is an acute angle is open. Which implies that JLM may be a right angle or not depending on the degrees of the acute angles involved.

At Ajax Spring Water, a half-liter bottle of soft drink is supposed to contain a mean of 519 ml. The filling process follows a normal distribution with a known process standard deviation of 6 ml.
1) The normal distribution should be used for the sample mean because:_____.
a) the sample population has a large mean.
b) the population distribution is known to be normal.
c) the population standard deviation is known.
d) the standard deviation is very small.
2) Set up hypotheses and a two-tailed decision rule for the correct mean using the 5 percent level of significance. The hypothesis for a two-tailed decision is:_______.
A. H0: mu not equal to 519, H1: mu = 519, reject if z < -1.96 or z > 1.96.
B. H0: mu not equal to 519, H1: mu = 519, reject if z > 1.96 or z < -1.96.
C. H0: mu = 519, mu not equal to 519, reject if z> 1.96 or z< -1.96.
D. H0: mu = 519, H_1: mu not equal to 519, reject if z > -1.96 or z< 1.96.
a. a.

c. c.
d. d.
3) If a sample of 16 bottles shows a mean fill of 522 ml, does this contradict the hypothesis that the true mean is 519 ml?
A) Yes.
B) No

Answers

Answer:

1) The normal distribution should be used for the sample mean because the population distribution is known to be normal (answer b).

2) C. H0: mu = 519, H_1: mu not equal to 519, reject if z> 1.96 or z< -1.96.

3) Yes. There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true mean is not 519 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) When the population follows a normal distribution, it is correct to assume a normal distribution for the sample mean.

2) As it is a two-tailed decision rule, we are interested in detecting a significant difference below and above the mean. This is why we use the unequal sign in the alternative hypothesis.

The null hypothesis state that there is not significant difference from 519.

The critical value for a significance level of 5% is z=1.96.

[tex]H_0: \mu=519\\\\H_a:\mu\neq 519[/tex]

3) The claim is that the true mean is not 519 ml.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \mu=519\\\\H_a:\mu\neq 519[/tex]

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=16.

The sample mean is M=522.

The standard deviation of the population is known and has a value of σ=6.

We can calculate the standard error as:

[tex]\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{16}}=1.5[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

[tex]z=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma_M}=\dfrac{522-519}{1.5}=\dfrac{3}{1.5}=2[/tex]

This test is a two-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

[tex]\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(z>2)=0.046[/tex]

As the P-value (0.046) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true mean is not 519 ml.
