Answer:
0.347% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight.
Step-by-step explanation:
For a standard normal distribution, (with mean 0 and standard deviation 1), the lower and upper quartiles are located at -0.67448 and +0.67448 respectively. Thus the interquartile range (IQR) is 1.34896.
And the manager decides to reject a tire as underweight if it falls more than 1.5 interquartile ranges below the lower quartile of the specified shipment of tires.
1.5 of the Interquartile range = 1.5 × 1.34896 = 2.02344
1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile = (lower quartile) - (1.5 of Interquartile range) = -0.67448 - 2.02344 = -2.69792
The proportion of tires that will fall 1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile = P(x < -2.69792) ≈ P(x < -2.70)
Using data from the normal distribution table
P(x < -2.70) = 0.00347 = 0.347% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight
Hope this Helps!!!
The proportion of the tires that would be denied for being underweight through the given process would be:
[tex]0.347[/tex]% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight.
Given that,
Interquartile Range [tex]= 1.5[/tex]
Standard Deviation [tex]= 0.76[/tex]
Considering Mean = 0
and Standard Deviation = 1
Since lower quartile = -0.67448
Upper quartile = +0.67448
IQ range = 1.34896
To find,
The proportion of tires would be rejected due to being underweight through the process would be:
1.5 of Interquartile Range = 1.5 × [tex]1.34896 = 2.02344[/tex]
Now,
1.5 of the IQ range below the lower quartile [tex]= (lower quartile) - (1.5 of Interquartile range)[/tex]
[tex]= -0.67448 - 2.02344[/tex]
[tex]= -2.69792[/tex]
The proportion of tires that would be under 1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile:
[tex]= P(x < -2.69792)[/tex] ≈ [tex]P(x < -2.70)[/tex]
Using data through the Normal Distribution Table,
[tex]P(x < -2.70)[/tex] [tex]= 0.00347[/tex]
[tex]= 0.347[/tex]%
Thus, 0.347% of the total tires would be rejected as underweight.

A woman forgot her bank ATM PIN but she was able to recall some of the pin.
1)the 1st digit is half of the 2nd pin
2)the sum of 2nd and 3rd is equal to 10
3)the 4th is equal to the 2nd plus 1
4)the sum of all digits is 23
show workings please
what is the ATM digit?
The PIN is 4829
Step-by-step explanation:
let s take 4 numbers a b c and d
the PIN is abcd
we know that
(1) a = b/2
(2) b+c=10
(3) d=b+1
(4) a+b+c+d=23
from (2) c = 10 - b
from (3) d = b + 1
so (4) gives
b/2 + b + 10 - b + b +1 = 23
so
3/2 b = 23 -11 = 12
b = 12*2/3 = 8
so d = 9
c = 10-8=2
and a = 4
so the PIN is 4829
thank you

1. Two people have $10 to divide between themselves. Each person names a number (nonnegative integer) no more than 10. If the sum of the two numbers is at most 10, each person gets the named amount of dollars, and the rest of the money is destroyed. If the sum exceeds 10, and the numbers are different, the person who has named the smaller number, receives the corresponding number of dollars, and the second person receives the rest. If the sum exceeds 10, and the numbers are equal, each person receives $5. Determine the be
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Determine the best response of each player to each of the other player’s actions; plot them in a diagram and thus find the Nash equilibria of the game.
The best response for player 2 can be stated as:
(where X1 equals the dollar that a person names and Y2(X1) being the amount the person receives)
X1 Y2(X1)
0 10
1 9,10
2 8,9,10
3 7,8,9,10
4 6,7,8,9,10
5 5,6,7,8,9,10
6 5,6
7 6
8 7
9 8
10 9
Th best responses for player 1 would be the same.
Nash equilibria is the set of strategies that every person forms given no person has any incentive to change. Hence, we can say that there are 4 Nash equilibria: (5,5) , (5,6) , (6,5) , (6,6)

At the beginning of the season,jamie pays full price for a ticket to see the panthers,her favorite baseball team.
Corrected Question
At the beginning of the season, Jamie pays full price($49.64) for a ticket to see the panthers, her favorite baseball team. Ticket prices decrease $0.41 for every game the panthers lose this season. the panthers currently have 33 wins and 31 losses.
(a)Represent the total change in the cost of a ticket given their losses.
(b) What is the cost of a ticket for the next game they play?
Answer:
(a)$(49.64-0.41x)
(b)$36.93
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)Cost of a Full Ticket =$49.64
Let x be the number of losses
The ticket price reduces by $0.41 for every loss
Therefore:
Ticket Price after x losses =$(49.64-0.41x)
Therefore, total change in the cost of a ticket given their losses=$(49.64-0.41x)
(b)For this season the Panthers has suffered 31 losses.
Number of Losses, x=31
Therefore, cost of a ticket for the next game they play
= $(49.64-0.41*31)
=49.64-12.71
=$36.93

An analysis of 8 used trucks listed for sale in the 48076 zip code finds that the power model ln(\hat{price})=3.748-0.1395ln(miles)ln(price^)=3.748−0.1395ln(miles), for price (in thousands of dollars) and miles driven (in thousands), is an appropriate model of the relationship. If a used truck has been driven for 47,000 miles, which of the following is closest to the predicted price for the truck?(A) $9.46(B) $24.80(C) $3,210.00(D) $9,460.00(E) $24,800.00
Answer:
(E) $24,800.00
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]ln(\hat{price})=3.748-0.1395ln(miles)[/tex]
If a used truck has been driven for 47,000 miles
Miles=47 (in thousands)
We therefore have:
[tex]ln(\hat{price})=3.748-0.1395ln(47)\\ln(\hat{price})=3.2109\\$Take the exponential of both sides\\e^{ln(\hat{price})}=e^{3.2109}\\Price=e^{3.2109}\\$Price=24.80 \\Since the price is in thousands of dollars\\Price=24.80 X \$1000\\Predicted Price=\$24800.00[/tex]
The correct option is E.

four apples and one banana cost £1.40 seven apples and one banana cost £2.00 work out the cost of an apple and the cost of a banana .
Answer:
apple: £0.20banana: £0.60Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a" and "b" represent the costs of one apple and one banana, respectively. Then the purchases can be written ...
4a +b = 1.40
7a +b = 2.00
Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...
(7a +b) -(4a +b) = (2.00) -(1.40)
3a = 0.60 . . . . simplify
a = 0.20 . . . . . .divide by 3
Using this in the first equation, we have ...
4(0.20) +b = 1.40
b = 0.60 . . . . . subtract 0.80
The cost of an apple is £0.20; the cost of a banana is £0.60.
Suppose a simple random sample of size 50 is selected from a population with σ=10σ=10. Find the value of the standard error of the mean in each of the following cases (use the finite population correction factor if appropriate).
a. The population size is infinite.
b. The population size is N=50,000.N=50,000.
c. The population size is N=5000.N=5000.
d. The population size is N=500.N=500.
Answer:
a) [tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414[/tex]
b) [tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414[/tex]
c) [tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414[/tex]
d) [tex]\sigma _{\bar x} = 1.343[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The random sample is of size 50 i.e the population standard deviation =10
Size of the sample n = 50
a) The population size is infinite;
The standard error is determined as:
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414[/tex]
b) When the population size N= 50000
n/N = 50/50000 = 0.001 < 0.05
Thus ; the finite population of the standard error is not applicable in this scenario;
Therefore;
The standard error is determined as:
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414[/tex]
c) When the population size N= 5000
n/N = 50/5000 = 0.01 < 0.05
Thus ; the finite population of the standard error is not applicable in this scenario;
Therefore;
The standard error is determined as:
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414[/tex]
d) When the population size N= 500
n/N = 50/500 = 0.1 > 0.05
So; the finite population of the standard error is applicable in this scenario;
Therefore;
The standard error is determined as:
[tex]\sigma _{\bar x} = \sqrt{\dfrac{N-n}{N-1} }\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma _{\bar x} = \sqrt{\dfrac{500-50}{500-1} }\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50} } }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma _{\bar x} = 1.343[/tex]
A large western state consist of 4341 million acres of land. Approximately 83% of this land is federally owned. Find the number of acres that are not federally owned
Answer:
737.97 acres
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Approximately 83% of a large western state land is federally owned.
Total land in percentage will be 100%
% of land not federally owned = Total land in percentage - % of land federally owned = 100% - 83% = 17%
Thus, percentage of land not federally owned = 17% of total land
Also given "A large western state consist of 4341 million acres of land"
Therefore,
number of acres that are not federally owned = 17% of total western state land
number of acres that are not federally owned = 17/100 * 4341 = 737.97
Thus, 737.97 acres of western state land are not federally owned.

The radius of a circle is 5 cm. Find its area to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
78.5 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a circle is found by
A = pi r^2
A = pi (5)^2
A = 25pi
Letting pi = 3.14
A = 25(3.14)
A =78.5 cm^2
Letting pi be the pi button
A =78.53981634
Rounding to the nearest tenth
78.5
Answer:
78.5 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a circle can be found using the following formula.
a=πr²
We know the radius of the circle is 5 centimeters.
r=5
Substitute 5 in for r.
a=π(5²)
Evaluate the exponent. 5² is equal to 5*5, which equals 25.
a=π(25)
Multiply 25 and pi
a=78.5398163397
Round to the nearest tenth. The 3 in the hundredth place tells use to leave the 5 in the tenths place as is.
a≈78.5
Add appropriate units. Area always uses units², and the units in this case are centimeters.
a≈78.5 centimeters²
The area of the circle is about 78.5 square centimeters.

Multiple Choice 7.22 14.22 -0.18 14.70
Answer:
The value of Chi-square test statistic for a hypothesis test of independence is 14.22.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data provided is for one day's output of Kortholt's from the Melodic Kortholt Company.
The formula to compute the chi-square test statistic for a hypothesis of independence is:
[tex]\chi^{2}=\sum {\frac{(O-E)^{2}}{E}}[/tex]
The formula to compute the expected frequencies (E) is:
[tex]E=\frac{\text{Row Total}\times \text{Column Total}}{N}[/tex]
Consider the Excel output attached.
Compute the value of Chi-square test statistic as follows:
[tex]\chi^{2}=\sum {\frac{(O-E)^{2}}{E}}[/tex]
[tex]=1.333+2.222+4.000+6.667\\=14.222\\\approx 14.22[/tex]
Thus, the value of Chi-square test statistic for a hypothesis test of independence is 14.22.

a line has a slope of -3/4 and passes through the point (-5, 4). what is the equation of the line?
Answer:
y = -3/4x-1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form of a line is
y = mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -3/4x +b
We have a point (-5,4)
4 = -3/4 (-5) +b
Changing to a common denominator
16/4 = 15/4 +b
subtracting 15/4 from each side
16/4-15/4 = -15/4 +15/4 +b
1/4 = b

A Biology test contains 10 multiple choice questions each with 5 choices and one correct answer. If a law school student just randomly guesses on each of the 10 questions, i.e., the probability of getting a correct answer on any given question is 0.2. Assume that all questions are answered independently. (a) What is the probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly
Answer:
0.0004% probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly
Step-by-step explanation:
For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the student guesses the correct answer, or he does not. All questions are answered independently. This means that we use the binomial distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]n = 10, p = 0.2[/tex]
What is the probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly
[tex]P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} = 0.000004[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0 [/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.000004 + 0 = 0.000004[/tex]
0.0004% probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly
2.24 Exit poll: Edison Research gathered exit poll results from several sources for the Wisconsin recall election of Scott Walker. They found that 57% of the respondents voted in favor of Scott Walker. Additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for Scott Walker, 33% had a college degree, while 45% of those who voted against Scott Walker had a college degree. Suppose we randomly sampled a person who participated in the exit poll and found that he had a college degree. What is the probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker? (please round to 4 decimal places)
Answer:
0.4929 = 49.29% probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker
Step-by-step explanation:
Bayes Theorem:
Two events, A and B.
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.
In this question:
Event A: Having a college degree.
Event B: Voting for Scott Walker.
They found that 57% of the respondents voted in favor of Scott Walker.
This means that [tex]P(B) = 0.57[/tex]
Additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for Scott Walker, 33% had a college degree
This means that [tex]P(A|B) = 0.33[/tex]
Probability of having a college degree.
33% of those who voted for Scott Walker(57%).
45% of those who voted against Scott Walker(100 - 57 = 43%). So
[tex]P(A) = 0.33*0.57 + 0.45*0.43 = 0.3816[/tex]
What is the probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker?
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.57*0.33}{0.3816} = 0.4929[/tex]
0.4929 = 49.29% probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker
A square of area 36cm2 is cut to make two rectangles, A and B The ratio of Area A to Area B is 2 : 1 Work out the dimensions of rectangle A and B
(Need help with this question)
Answer:
Given..hope it helps
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of square= 36cm2 = total area
Side of square= √36= 6cm
Ratio a:b = 2:1
so let's take total area as 3x
while a is 2x and b is 1x
3x= 36 (given)
x= 36/3 = 12
so area of each rectangle--
area A= 2x= 24cm2
area B= x= 12cm2
While finding the dimensions, they both have a common length since they are from the same square which will be 6cm (side)
So,
Dimensions of rectangle A= 6cm * 4cm
Dimensions of rectangle B= 6cm * 2cm

First look at graph where the line points to which direction of the graph
And look for any closed or open circles in the graph
Since in the graph has a close circle at (-3,-2) meaning it includes that x-value for its domain.
With the graph going to positive infinity it states that the domain is all real numbers.
So in conclusion it has a domain of all real numbers greater than or equal to -3
The results of a common standardized test used in psychology research is designed so that the population mean is 155 and the standard deviation is 50. A subject earns a score of 155. How many standard deviations from the mean is the value 155
Answer:
The value 155 is zero standard deviations from the [population] mean, because [tex] \\ x = \mu[/tex], and therefore [tex] \\ z = 0[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The key concept we need to manage here is the z-scores (or standardized values), and we can obtain a z-score using the next formula:
[tex] \\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [1]
Where
z is the z-score.x is the raw score: an observation from the normally distributed data that we want standardize using [1].[tex] \\ \mu[/tex] is the population mean.[tex] \\ \sigma[/tex] is the population standard deviation.Carefully looking at [1], we can interpret it as the distance from the mean of a raw value in standard deviations units. When the z-score is negative indicates that the raw score, x, is below the population mean, [tex] \\ \mu[/tex]. Conversely, a positive z-score is telling us that x is above the population mean. A z-score is also fundamental when determining probabilities using the standard normal distribution.
For example, think about a z-score = 1. In this case, the raw score is, after being standardized using [1], one standard deviation above from the population mean. A z-score = -1 is also one standard deviation from the mean but below it.
These standardized values have always the same probability in the standard normal distribution, and this is the advantage of using it for calculating probabilities for normally distributed data.
A subject earns a score of 155. How many standard deviations from the mean is the value 155?
From the question, we know that:
x = 155.[tex] \\ \mu = 155[/tex].[tex] \\ \sigma = 50[/tex].Having into account all the previous information, we can say that the raw score, x = 155, is zero standard deviations units from the mean. The subject earned a score that equals the population mean. Then, using [1]:
[tex] \\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex] \\ z = \frac{155 - 155}{50}[/tex]
[tex] \\ z = \frac{0}{50}[/tex]
[tex] \\ z = 0[/tex]
As we say before, the z-score "tells us" the distance from the population mean, and in this case this value equals zero:
[tex] \\ x = \mu[/tex]
Therefore
[tex] \\ z = 0[/tex]
So, the value 155 is zero standard deviations from the [population] mean.
