how do you add 9 in 1 6 + 2 1/12​

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.276 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{735}}}=-1.42[/tex]  

Now we can claculate the p value with this formula:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.42)=0.0778[/tex]  

If we use a signifiacn level of 5% we see that the p value is higher than 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.3 at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information to given

n=735 represent the random sample taken

X=203 represent the number of people who have their prostate regularly examined

[tex]\hat p=\frac{203}{735}=0.276[/tex] estimated proportion of people who have their prostate regularly examined  

[tex]p_o=0.3[/tex] is the value to verify

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true proportion is less than 0.3, the ystem of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p \geq 0.3[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.3[/tex]  

The statistic is given by:

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

Replacing the info we got:

[tex]z=\frac{0.276 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{735}}}=-1.42[/tex]  

Now we can claculate the p value with this formula:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.42)=0.0778[/tex]  

If we use a signifiacn level of 5% we see that the p value is higher than 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.3 at 5% of significance.

Answer:

15.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Percent of area between the mean and 0.20 standard deviations from the mean:

pvalue of Z = 0.2 subtracted by the pvalue of Z = -0.2

Z = 0.2 has a pvalue of 0.5793

Z = -0.2 has a pvalue of 0.4207

0.5793 - 0.4207 = 0.1586

So this percentage is 15.86%

Simplifying

23 + 11a + -2c = 12 + -2c

Add '2c' to each side of the equation.

23 + 11a + -2c + 2c = 12 + -2c + 2c

Combine like terms: -2c + 2c = 0

23 + 11a + 0 = 12 + -2c + 2c

23 + 11a = 12 + -2c + 2c

Combine like terms: -2c + 2c = 0

23 + 11a = 12 + 0

23 + 11a = 12

Solving

23 + 11a = 12

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-23' to each side of the equation.

23 + -23 + 11a = 12 + -23

Combine like terms: 23 + -23 = 0

0 + 11a = 12 + -23

11a = 12 + -23

Combine like terms: 12 + -23 = -11

11a = -11

Divide each side by '11'.

a = -1

Simplifying

a = -1

Answer:

x = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the angles are equal  ( bisected means divided in half)

2x-5 = 145

Add 5 to each side

2x-5+5 = 145+5

2x = 150

Divide by 2

2x/150/2

x = 75

Answer:

x=75

Step-by-step explanation:

∠BAD is bisected by AC and measurement of BAC is equal to 2x - 5 and measurement of CAD is equal to 145. Since they are bisected, they are equal and the solution is shown below:

m ∠ BAC = m ∠ CAD

2x - 5 = 145 , transpose -5 to the opposite side such as:

2x = 145 + 5 , perform addition of 145 and 5

2x = 150

2x / 2 = 150 / 2 , divide both sides by 2

x = 75

The answer is 75 for the x value.

The correct question is:

A study of consumer smoking habits includes 167 people in the 18-22 age bracket (59 of whom smoke), 148 people in the 23-30 age bracket (31 of whom smoke), and 85 people in the 31-40 age bracket (23 of whom smoke). If one person is randomly selected from this sample, find the probability of getting someone who is age 23-30 or smokes

Answer:

The probability of getting someone who is age 23-30 or smokes = 0.575

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Number consumers of age 18 - 22 = 167

Number of consumers of ages 22 - 30 = 148

Number of consumers of ages 31 - 40 = 85

Thus,total number of consumers in the survey = 167 + 148 + 85 = 400

We are also given;

Number consumers of age 18 - 22 who smoke = 59

Number of consumers of ages 22 - 30 who smoke = 31

Number of consumers of ages 31 - 40 who smoke = 23

Total number of people who smoke = 59 + 31 + 23 = 113

Let event A = someone of age 23-30 and event B = someone who smokes. Thus;

P(A) = 148/400

P(B) = 113/400

P(A & B) = 31/400

Now, from addition rule in sets which is given by;

P(A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A and B)

We can now solve the question.

Thus;

P(A or B) = (148/400) + (113/400) - (31/400)

P(A or B) = 230/400 = 0.575

Answer:

For k = 1:

=NEGBINOMDIST(0, 1, 0.666) = 0.6660

For k = 2:

=NEGBINOMDIST(1, 1, 0.666) = 0.2224

For k = 3:

=NEGBINOMDIST(2, 1, 0.666) = 0.0743

For k = 4:

=NEGBINOMDIST(3, 1, 0.666) = 0.0248

For k = 5:

=NEGBINOMDIST(4, 1, 0.666) = 0.0083

For k = 6:

=NEGBINOMDIST(5, 1, 0.666) = 0.0028

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of obtaining a defective 10-year old widget is 66.6%

p = 66.6% = 0.666

The probability of obtaining a non-defective 10-year old widget is

q = 1 - 0.666 = 0.334

The random variable will be the number of items that must be tested before finding the first defective 10-year old widget.

The geometric distribution is given by

[tex]$P(X = k) = p \times q^{k - 1}$[/tex]

Solving manually:

For k = 1:

[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{1 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{0} = 0.666[/tex]

For k = 2:

[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{2 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{1} = 0.2224[/tex]

For k = 3:

[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{3 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{2} = 0.0743[/tex]

For k = 4:

[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{4 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{3} = 0.0248[/tex]

For k = 5:

[tex]P(X = 5) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{5 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{4} = 0.0083[/tex]

For k = 6:

[tex]P(X = 6) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{6 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{5} = 0.0028[/tex]

Using Excel function:

NEGBINOMDIST(number_f, number_s, probability_s)

Where

number_f = k - 1 failures

number_s = no. of successes

probability_s = the probability of success

For the geometric distribution, let number_s = 1

For k = 1:

=NEGBINOMDIST(0, 1, 0.666) = 0.6660

For k = 2:

=NEGBINOMDIST(1, 1, 0.666) = 0.2224

For k = 3:

=NEGBINOMDIST(2, 1, 0.666) = 0.0743

For k = 4:

=NEGBINOMDIST(3, 1, 0.666) = 0.0248

For k = 5:

=NEGBINOMDIST(4, 1, 0.666) = 0.0083

For k = 6:

=NEGBINOMDIST(5, 1, 0.666) = 0.0028

As you can notice solving manually and using Excel yields the same results.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

REcall that given a set A, * is a equivalence relation over A if

- for a in A, then a*a.

- for a,b in A. If a*b, then b*a.

- for a,b,c in A. If a*b and b*c then a*c.

Consider A the set of all ordered pairs of positive integers.

- Let (a,b) in A. Then a+b = a+b. So, by definition (a,b)R(a,b).

- Let (a,b), (c,d) in A and suppose that (a,b)R(c,d) . Then, by definition a+d = b+c. Since the + is commutative over the integers, this implies that d+a = c+b. Then (c,d)R(a,b).

- Let (a,b),(c,d), (e,f) in A and suppose that (a,b)R(c,d) and (c,d)R(e,f). Then

a+d = b+c, c+f = d+e.  We have that f = d+e-c. So a+f = a+d+e-c. From the first equation we find that a+d-c = b. Then a+f = b+e. So, by definition (a,b)R(e,f).

So R is an equivalence relation.

[(a,b)] is the equivalence class of (a,b). This is by definition, finding all the elements of A that are equivalente to (a,b).

Let us find all the possible elements of A that are equivalent to (2,4). Let (a,b)R(2,4) Then a+4 = b+2. This implies that a+2 = b. So all the elements of the form (a,a+2) are part of this class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

E) 0.99

Step-by-step explanation:

100 recruits x 0.4 chance of retiring as police officer = 40 officers

probability of being married at time of retirement = (1 - 0.25) x 40 = 30 officers

each new recruit will result in either 0, 1 or 2 new pensions

mean = µ = E(Xi) = (0 x 0.6) + (1 x 0.1) + (2 x 0.3) = 0.7

σ²  = (0² x 0.6) + (1² x 0.1) + (2² x 0.3) - µ² = 0 + 0.1 + 1.2 - 0.49 = 0.81

in order for the total number of pensions (X) that the city has to provide:

the normal distribution of the pension funds = 100 new recruits x 0.7 = 70 pension funds

the standard deviation = σ = √100 x √σ² = √100 x √0.81 = 10 x 0.9 = 9

P(X ≤ 90) = P [(X - 70)/9] ≤ [(90 - 70)/9] =  P [(X - 70)/9] ≤ 2.22

z value for 2.22 = 0.9868 ≈ 0.99

Answer:

The probability that the next mattress sold is either king or queen-size is P=0.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 types of matress: queen size (Q), king size (K) and twin size (T).

We will treat the probability as the proportion (or relative frequency) of sales of each type of matress.

We know that the number of queen-size mattresses sold is one-fourth the number of king and twin-size mattresses combined. This can be expressed as:

[tex]P_Q=\dfrac{P_K+P_T}{4}\\\\\\4P_Q-P_K-P_T=0[/tex]

We also know that three times as many king-size mattresses are sold as twin-size mattresses. We can express that as:

[tex]P_K=3P_T\\\\P_K-3P_T=0[/tex]

Finally, we know that the sum of probablities has to be 1, or 100%.

[tex]P_Q+P_K+P_T=1[/tex]

We can solve this by sustitution:

[tex]P_K=3P_T\\\\4P_Q=P_K+P_T=3P_T+P_T=4P_T\\\\P_Q=P_T\\\\\\P_Q+P_K+P_T=1\\\\P_T+3P_T+P_T=1\\\\5P_T=1\\\\P_T=0.2\\\\\\P_Q=P_T=0.2\\\\P_K=3P_T=3\cdot0.2=0.6[/tex]

Now we know the probabilities of each of the matress types.

The probability that the next matress sold is either king or queen-size is:

[tex]P_K+P_Q=0.6+0.2=0.8[/tex]

Answer:

The lower limit is 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

If X is more than 2 standard deviations from the mean, it is unusual.

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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

In this question, we have that:

[tex]n = 100, p = 0.8[/tex]

So

[tex]\mu = 0.8, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.8*0.2}{100}} = 0.04[/tex]

He would be suspicious if the number of normal births in the sample of 100 births fell below the lower limit of "usual." What is that lower limit?

2 standard deviations below the mean is the lower limit, so X when Z = -2.

Proportion:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]-2 = \frac{X - 0.8}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]X - 0.8 = -2*0.04[/tex]

[tex]X = 0.72[/tex]

Out of 100:

0.72*100 = 72

The lower limit is 72.

Answer:

c) 5√2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A square with side length l has a perimeter given by the following equation:

P = 4l.

In this question:

P = 20

So the side length is:

4l = 20

l = 20/4

l = 5

Diagonal

The diagonal forms a right triangle with two sides, in which the diagonal is the hypothenuse. Applying the pytagoras theorem.

[tex]d^{2} = l^{2} + l^{2}[/tex]

[tex]d^{2} = 5^{2} + 5^{2}[/tex]

[tex]d^{2} = 50[/tex]

[tex]d = \pm \sqrt{50}[/tex]

Lenght is a positive meausre, so

[tex]d = \sqrt{50}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{2 \times 25}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{25}[/tex]

[tex]d = 5\sqrt{2}[/tex]

So the correct answer is:

c) 5√2 cm

                                        [tex]=\frac{5}{103}\\\\=0.04854369\\\\\approx 0.0485[/tex]

Now he two students are selected without replacement.

So, after selecting a senior Physics major student there are 102 students remaining in the class.

Compute the probability of selecting a sophomore Physics major student as follows:

[tex]P(\text{Sophomore Physics Major})=\frac{n(\text{Sophomore Physics Major}) }{N}[/tex]

                                        [tex]=\frac{20}{102}\\\\=0.1960784314\\\\\approx 0.1961[/tex]

Compute the probability that a senior Physics major and then a sophomore Physics major are chosen at random as follows:

[tex]P(\text{Senior}\cap \text{Sophomore})=P(\text{Senior})\times P(\text{Sophomore})[/tex]

                                     [tex]=0.0485\times 0.1961\\\\=0.00951085\\\\\approx 0.0095[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a senior Physics major and then a sophomore Physics major are chosen at random is 0.0095.

Answer:

Quantitative variable

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective in this study is to find the of variable used to conduct the study. The type of variable used to conduct this study is Qualitative variable.

There are majorly two types of variable. These are:

Categorical variables are types of variables that are grouped based on some similar characteristics. The nominal scale and the ordinal scale falls under this group of variable.

The nominal scale is an act of giving name to a particular object or concept in order to identify or classify that particular thing.

On the other hand, The ordinal scale possess all the characteristics of nominal scale but here the variables can be ordered. It can be used to determine whether the item is greater or less. It express the indication of order and magnitude.

In Qualitative variables; variables are measured on a numeric scale. From the given question , This type of variable is used to measure the high levels of vitamin C (measured in mg) which were associated with a 30 percent lower risk of allergies in the infants.

The levels of vitamin C could range from 0 mg to certain mg therefore we can measure vitamin C in numerical values of measurement (Quantitative variable).

Answer:

1 ton = 2,000 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

With that said, 22,000 pounds is 11 tons because 2,000 x 11 = 22,000.

So 22,000 pounds is 11 tons.

Answer:

stretch of 200 shift up 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=1/x to 200/x+10

Multiply by 200 means a stretch of 200

f(x) = 200/x

Now shift up 10 units

f(x) = 200/x + 10

Answer:

It moves up 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =1/x to 200/x + 10

= 200/x

If we shift up 10 units, we get:

f(x) = 200/x + 10

Hope this helps!

Answer:

3. 72.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call M the event that the customer is male and C the event that the customer prefer chocolate chips Scones.

So, the probability P(M∪C) that a customer chosen at random will be a male or prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones is calculated as:

P(M∪C) = P(M) + P(C) - P(M∩C)

Then, there are 145 males (317 customer - 172 females = 145 males), so the probability that the customer is a males is:

P(M) = 145/317 = 0.4574

There are 167 customers that prefer chocolate chips Scones ( 317 customers - 150 customers that prefer the Cranberry Walnut Scones = 167), so the probability that a customer prefer chocolate chips Scones is:

P(C) = 167/317 = 0.5268

Finally, 81 customers were males and prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones, so the probability that a customer will be a male and prefer chocolate  chip scones is:

P(M∩C) = 81/317 = 0.2555

Therefore,  P(M∪C) is equal to:

P(M∪C) = 0.4574 + 0.5268 - 0.2555

P(M∪C) = 0.7287

P(M∪C) = 72.9%

Answer:

3. 72.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

Male or prefers the Chocolate Chip Scones. That is, males and females who prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones.

There are 172 female customers and 317-172 = 145 male customers.

150 customers prefer the Cranberry Walnut Scones. So 317 - 150 = 167 customers prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones.

81 of those are male, so 167 - 81 = 86 are female.

So the total of desired outcomes is 86 + 145 = 231

Total outcomes:

317 total customers.

Probability:

231/317 = 0.729

So the correct answer is:

3. 72.9%

The right answers are:
