Which of the following is true?a. The Z score for the median of a left skewed distribution is negative.b. Z scores are defined for observations from distributions of any shape and skew.c. The Z score for the median of a symmetric distribution is approximately 0.d. Calculating percentiles based on the Z table is only appropriate for observations that come from a nearly normal distribution.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: b,c and d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The options that are true are:

b. Z scores are defined for observations from distributions of any shape and skew.

c. The Z score for the median of a symmetric distribution is approximately 0.

d. Calculating percentiles based on the Z table is only appropriate for observations that come from a nearly normal distribution.

It should be noted that option A"The Z score for the median of a left skewed distribution is negative" is false.

For a left skewed distribution, it should be noted that the mean is less than the median which in turn is less than the mode and this will bring about a positive outcome, therefore the corresponding z-score for the median will also be positive and bit negative.

Therefore, b, c and d are true.

Answer 2

If the z-score for the median of the left-skewed distribution is negative then A is false. Then the correct option is B, C, and D.

What is a z-score?

The z-score is a numerical measurement used in statistics of the value's relationship to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standards from the mean.

It should be noted that in option A, the z-score for the median of the left-skewed distribution is negative.

A. The Z-score for the median of a left-skewed distribution is negative. This is false.

B. Z-scores are defined for observations from distributions of any shape and skew. This is true.

C. The Z-score for the median of a symmetric distribution is approximately 0. This is true.

D. Calculating percentiles based on the Z-table is only appropriate for observations that come from a nearly normal distribution. This is true.

A concerned parent wants to determine the amount of time spent on the phone by her child's friends. Which sample is likely to bias the results of the study by reporting less than the actual time? Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer: The answers to the questions by 10 of the friends

Step-by-step explanation:

The options to the question are:

a. The answers to the questions by the parents of 10 of the friends.

b. The results of a national poll of 1800 students in the same age group as the child.

c. The answers to the questions by 10 of the friends.

d. The answers to the questions by 10 people from the parents office.

From the question, we are informed that a concerned parent wants to determine the amount of time spent on the phone by her child's friends. The sample that is likely to bias the results of the study by reporting less than the actual time is the answers to the questions by 10 of the friends.

This is because since the questions are being asked from her friends, there'll be bias as the friends won't want to give the exact time used on phone, hence, they'll hold back some information.

Robert surveyed 300 of the students in his school about their favorite color. 70% said their favorite color was blue. How many students' favorite color was blue?

Answers

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

We can get 10% of 300 by doing 300 / 10 which is 30. 70 / 10 is 7, so we need 7 lots of 10% to work out 70%. Therefore, 30 * 7 students said that their favourite colour was blue, which is 210.

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

So 70% OF 300 students said their favorite color was blue

OF means multiply and 70% is equal to .70 so,

.70 x 300 = the number of students that said their favorite color was blue

                =210

So, the number of students that said their favorite color was blue is 210 students. :)

Sickle-cell disease is a painful disorder of the red blood cells that in the United States affects mostly African-Americans. To investigate whether the drug hydroxyurea can reduce the pain associated with sickle-cell disease, a study by the National Institutes of Health gave the drug to 150 sickle-cell sufferers and a placebo to another 150. The researchers then counted the number of episodes of pain reported by each subject. What is the response variable in this study

Answers

Answer:

The response variable is the episodes of pain reported

Step-by-step explanation:

A response variable, also known as the dependent variable or explanatory variable, is the variable that is not under the direct control of the researcher, but whose value varies with the changing of the independent variable. The response variable is the focus of the experimental question.

In this example, the effect of the drug hydroxyurea is to be tested on sickle-cell patients, hence the drug used is the independent variable, because the experimenter can choose to give the subjects either hydroxyurea or a placebo, hence it is under the direct control of the experimenter. However, the result ( differences in episodes of pain) is a response to the administered drug or placebo.

Suppose a couple has two children, and you know that at least one is a boy. If the probabilities of having a boy or a girl are both 0.5 for any birth, what is the probability that the couple has two boys in this situation? When calculating this conditional probability, you may want to think of the ordered sample space for two kids as S = {bb, bg, gb, gg} . We can assume that births are independent events.

Answers

Answer:

The probability of having two boys = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordered sample space for two kids is given as S =  {bb, bg, gb, gg},

where bb = two boys, bg = a boy and a girl, gb = a girl and a boy, and gg = two girls, in that particular order.

bb occurs 1/4 times

and 1/4 = 0.25 or 25%

Calculating the probability of having two boys is given as the probability of having a boy multiplied by the probability of having a boy

= 0.5 x 0.5

= 0.25

= 25%

This agrees with the ordered sample space given above.

Find the unique solution to the following linear system X = (0 -1 2 3)X + (e' -e')
X(0)=(5 4)

Answers

It looks like the system is supposed to be

[tex]\mathbf x'=\begin{bmatrix}0&-1\\2&3\end{bmatrix}\mathbf x+\begin{bmatrix}e^t\\e^{-t}\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

with the initial condition, [tex]\mathbf x(0)=\begin{bmatrix}5&4\end{bmatrix}^\top[/tex].

Compute the eigensystem for the coefficient matrix:

[tex]\begin{vmatrix}-\lambda&-1\\2&3-\lambda\end{vmatrix}=\lambda^2-3\lambda+2=(\lambda-1)(\lambda-2)=0[/tex]

[tex]\lambda_1=1\implies\begin{bmatrix}-1&-1\\2&2\end{vmatrix}\mathbf v_1=\mathbf 0\implies\mathbf v_1=\begin{bmatrix}1\\-1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=2\implies\begin{bmatrix}-2&-2\\2&1\end{bmatrix}\mathbf v_2=\mathbf 0\implies\mathbf v_2=\begin{bmatrix}1\\-2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

So we have the characteristic solution,

[tex]\mathbf x_c=C_1e^{\lambda_1t}\mathbf v_1+C_2e^{\lambda_2t}\mathbf v_2[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf x_c=C_1e^t\begin{bmatrix}1\\-1\end{bmatrix}+C_2e^{2t}\begin{bmatrix}1\\-2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

For the non-homogeneous part, we can guess a particular solution of the form

[tex]\mathbf x_p=te^t\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

(We might have started with [tex]e^t[/tex] instead, but that is already accounted for in the first characteristic solution.)

Its derivative is

[tex]{\mathbf x_p}'=e^t\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\end{bmatrix}+te^t\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\end{bmatrix}=e^t\begin{bmatrix}at+a\\bt+b\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf x_p[/tex] into the system and solve for [tex]a,b[/tex]:

[tex]e^t\begin{bmatrix}at+a\\bt+b\end{bmatrix}=te^t\begin{bmatrix}0&-1\\2&3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\end{bmatrix}+e^t\begin{bmatrix}1\\-1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}at+a\\bt+b\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-bt+1\\(2a+3b)t-1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]\implies a=1,b=-1[/tex]

and so the particular solution is

[tex]\mathbf x_p=te^t\begin{bmatrix}1\\-1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

The general solution to the system is then

[tex]\mathbf x=\mathbf x_c+\mathbf x_p[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf x=C_1e^t\begin{bmatrix}1\\-1\end{bmatrix}+C_2e^{2t}\begin{bmatrix}1\\-2\end{bmatrix}+te^t\begin{bmatrix}1\\-1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Use the given initial conditions to solve for the remaining coefficients.

[tex]\mathbf x(0)=\begin{bmatrix}5\\4\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]\implies\begin{bmatrix}5\\4\end{bmatrix}=C_1\begin{bmatrix}1\\-1\end{bmatrix}+C_2\begin{bmatrix}1\\-2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]\implies C_1=14,C_2=-9[/tex]

Then the solution to the initial value problem is

[tex]\mathbf x=14e^t\begin{bmatrix}1\\-1\end{bmatrix}-9e^{2t}\begin{bmatrix}1\\-2\end{bmatrix}+te^t\begin{bmatrix}1\\-1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf x=\begin{bmatrix}14e^t-9e^{2t}+te^t\\-14e^t-18e^{2t}-te^t\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The two cards drawn by Sofia has values of -8 and 4 respectively. The product of her cards = -8 × 4 = -32. (Negative × positive = (negative)

The two cards drawn by Luke has values of -6 and -6 respectively. The product of his cards = -6 × -6 = 36 (negative × negative = positive).

36 greater than -32.

Luke had the largest product because -32 < 36.

Find an equation of the line through (3,8) and parallel to y = 4x - 3.

Answers

Answer: y=4x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation fo the line parallel to the given line, we can use the given point to find the y-intercept. We know that the slope must stay the same because parallel lines NEVER touch or cross. This means that the slope MUST be the same.

y=4x+b

We can use the given point to find the y-intercept.

8=4(3)+b             [multiply]

8=12+b                [subtract both sides by 12]

b=-4

Now that we have found the y-intercept, we can complete the equation.

In Nebraska, the mean rain-fed corn yield of harvested fields are normally

How many bushels per acre are produced if a field is in the top 25%?
O 180.2
O 125.2
O 155.45
O 169.2

Answers

Answer: 169.2 per acre are produced if a field is in the top 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  The mean rain-fed corn yield of harvested fields are normally  distributed, produce 147.2 bushels per acre with a standard deviation of 33 bushels per acre.

Let X denote the mean rain-fed corn yield of harvested fields.

Let x denotes the number of bushels per acre are produced if a field is in the top 25%.

Top 25% on a density curve means , (100-25%)i.e. 75% area lies below x.

I.e.

[tex]P(X<x)=P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{x-147.2}{33})=0.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(Z<\dfrac{x-147.2}{33})=0.75\ \ [Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}][/tex].

Z-score for p-value of 0.75 (one tailed)=0.67 [By z-table]

Then, [tex]\dfrac{x-147.2}{33}=0.6744[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ {x-147.2}=33\times0.67\\\\\Rightarrow\ {x-147.2}=22.11\\\\\Rightarrow\ {x}=22.11+147.2=169.31[/tex]

Here approx value is 169.2 (from options).

So, 169.2 per acre are produced if a field is in the top 25%.

Since DE and XY are parallel, this means that the given angle and angle x are alternate Angles. According to the law of alternate Angles, this means that they are equal. It also makes sense as the angle x is the same angle as the angle directly opposite angle 85. This is because they are on the same line across parallel lines. This also means they are equal because vertically opposite angles are always equal.

Therefore x =85

The length of a rectangle is 6 more than its width. The perimeter is 48 inches. What is the length?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]15[/tex] inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.

Length = [tex]6+x[/tex]

Perimeter = Length + Length + Breadth + Breadth

Perimeter = [tex](6+x)+(6+x)+x+x=48[/tex]

[tex]6+x+6+x+x+x=48[/tex]

[tex]4x+12=48[/tex]

Subtract 12 from both sides:

[tex]4x+12-12=48-12[/tex]

[tex]4x=36[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4:

[tex]\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{36}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=9[/tex] (Width)

Length = [tex]9+6=15[/tex] inches.

Answer:

l = 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

l = w + 6

p = 2l + 2w

substitute l into equation p

48 = 2(w + 6) + 2w

distribute the 2 into the parentheses

48 = 2w + 12 + 2w

combine like terms

48 = 4w + 12

subtract 12 from both sides

36 = 4w

divide by 4

9 = w

plug w into equation l

(9) + 6 = 15

l = 15 inches

Determine which is bigger

The answer to this question can be extracted from the given scale.

The question says: the scale from the actual triangle to the drawing is 30 : 1.

This implies that;

If Jorge's drawing is 101, then the actual length is 30 * 101 =3030

Since, 3030 > 30, then

We cam conclude that the actual triangle is bigger
