If the reciprocal of a number is multiplied by 1 less than the original number, the results exceed 1/2 the reciprocal of the original number by 5/8. Find the number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's try this a different way than perhaps the usual way. Let r represent the reciprocal of the number.

  r(1/r -1) -1/2r = 5/8

  1 -r -1/2r = 5/8 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  -3/2r = -3/8 . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 1

  (-3/2)/(-3/8) = 1/r = 4 . . . . . divide by (-3/8)r because we actually want 1/r

The number is 4.

_____

Check

The reciprocal of the number is 1/4.

1 less than the original number is 4 -1 = 3. The product of these is 3/4.

__

Half the reciprocal of the original number is (1/2)(1/4) = 1/8.

Then the difference between these is ...

  3/4 -1/8 = (6 -1)/8 = 5/8 . . . . as required.

D. It would be less steep.

Step-by-step explanation:

→When the absolute value of the number in front of x is greater than 1, the function on the graph narrows. When the absolute value of the number in front of x is less than 1, the function on the graph widens.

In this case, the number is less than 1, making it grow wider. And as a result of it growing wider, it also becomes less steep.

According to a polling​ organization, 22​% of adults in a large region consider themselves to be liberal. A survey asked 200 respondents to disclose their political​ philosophy: Conservative,​ Liberal, Moderate. Treat the results of the survey as a random sample of adults in this region. Do the survey results suggest the proportion is higher than that reported by the polling​ organization? Use an alphaequals0.01 level of significance.

Answers

Answer:

No. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of liberals is higher than that reported by the polling​ organization (P-value = 0.0366).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete: there is no information about the results of the survey. We will assume that 55 of the subjects answer "liberal", and test the claim.

This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.

The claim is that the proportion of liberals is higher than that reported by the polling​ organization.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \pi=0.22\\\\H_a:\pi>0.22[/tex]

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample has a size n=200.

The sample proportion is p=0.275.

[tex]p=X/n=55/200=0.275[/tex]

The standard error of the proportion is:

[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.22*0.78}{200}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.000858}=0.029[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

[tex]z=\dfrac{p-\pi-0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.275-0.22-0.5/200}{0.029}=\dfrac{0.053}{0.029}=1.792[/tex]

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

[tex]\text{P-value}=P(z>1.792)=0.0366[/tex]

As the P-value (0.0366) is greater than the significance level (0.01), the effect is  not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of liberals is higher than that reported by the polling​ organization.

If sin(θ -π/2) = 0.73.. find cos (-θ) plz explain how to solve

Answers

Answer:

[tex]cos(-\theta) = -0.73[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

[tex]sin(\theta -\dfrac{\pi}{2}) = 0.73[/tex]

Formula to be used:

[tex]1.\ sin(-x) = -sinx\\2.\ sin(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-x) = cosx\\3.\ cos(-x) = cosx[/tex]

Using Formula (1) written above:

[tex]\Rightarrow sin (\theta - \dfrac{\pi}{2})=sin(-(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\theta ))\\\Rightarrow -sin(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\theta)[/tex]

Now, using Formula (2) written above:

[tex]\Rightarrow -sin(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\theta) = -cos \theta[/tex]

So, we can say that:

[tex]sin(\theta -\dfrac{\pi}{2}) = -cos\theta = 0.73 ...... (1)[/tex]

We have to find the value of [tex]cos(-\theta)[/tex].

Using Formula (3) written above:

[tex]cos(-\theta) = cos\theta[/tex]

So, ultimately we need to find the value of [tex]cos\theta[/tex]

Using equation (1):

[tex]-cos\theta = 0.73\\\Rightarrow cos\theta = -0.73[/tex]

So, the answer is [tex]cos(-\theta) = -0.73[/tex].

You want to see if the treatment will lead to lower hoarding scores. The design described__________a, b, or c________.
a. uses a related sample - repeated measures
b. uses a related sample - matched subjects
c. does not use a related sample
2. John Caccioppo was interested in possible mechanisms by which loneliness may have deterious effects of health. He compared the sleep quality of a random sample to lonely people to the sleep quality of a random sample of nonlonely people. The design described______a, b, or c_______.
a. does not use a related sample
b. uses a related sample (repeated measures)
c. uses a related sample (matched subjects)

Answers

Answer:1. uses a related sample - repeated measures

2. . does not use a related sample--a

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1.

step1  A repeated measure design is a design which measures a given sample repeatedly over a given time using different conditions or related measures.

step 2:In the treatment for compulsive hoarding, Here, measures are taken two times ie before and after treatment on the same 50 hoarders which shows a repeated measure, also the design is a within related sample of the same 50 hoarders to give measurement at different conditions  of treatment for  high and low hoarding scores so the design describes  a related sample - repeated measures

Question 2:

step 1 ; An unrelated sample  occurs when Samples being measured do not depend on each other  

Step 2;  1st Sample for comparison by John are random lonely people  and Second Sample are random non lonely people. so the two samples are independent on each other and will give different  measurement based on quality of sleep.   So the design does not use a related sample

A tree was 9 feet tall. One year later, the tree was 16 feet tall. Write an equation and use mental math to find how many feet f the tree grew.

Answers

Answer:

7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let the height height of the tree be "h"

Hence the tree's height h=9 ft

one year later,let the height of the tree increased by x ft

hence

[tex]9 + x = 16[/tex] --------This is the equation for the growth of the tree

In order to solve for the added height(growth) of the tree we need to solve for x

[tex]9 + x = 16\\x=16-9\\x=7ft[/tex]

A card is drawn from a standard deck of 5252 playing cards. What is the probability that the card will be a heart and not a club? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The probability of choosing a heart and not a club is

P =  0.1875

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 13 hearts in a deck of 52 cards. The probability that the chosen card will be a heart is given by

Probability = favorable outcome/ Total number of outcomes

P= 13/52= 1/4

There are 13 clubs in a deck of 52 cards.

The probability of not choosing a club would be

P = 52-13/52= 39/52= 3/4

So the  combined probability of choosing a heart and not a club is

P = 1/4 * 3/4= 0.25 * 0.75= 0.1875

x = 20​, n = 36​, sigma = 9​, H0​: mu = 25​, H a​mu : < 25.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{20-25}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{36}}}=-3.33[/tex]  

The p value for this case is given by:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-3.33)=0.000434[/tex]  

For this case the p value is a very low value compared to the significance level of 0.1 so then we can reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly less than 25 at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

[tex]\bar X=20[/tex] represent the sample mean  

[tex]\sigma=9[/tex] represent the population deviation

[tex]n=36[/tex] sample size  

[tex]\mu_o =25[/tex] represent the value to verify

[tex]\alpha=0.1[/tex] represent the significance level

tzwould represent the statistic

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

System of hypothesis

We want to test the hypothesis that the true mean is lower than 25  and the system of hypothesis are:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 25[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu < 25[/tex]  

The statistic is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info given:

[tex]z=\frac{20-25}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{36}}}=-3.33[/tex]  

The p value for this case is given by:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-3.33)=0.000434[/tex]  

For this case the p value is a very low value compared to the significance level of 0.1 so then we can reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly less than 25 at 10% of significance.

Let two cards be dealt successively, without replacement, from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probability of the event. The first card is a queen and the second is a seven

Answers

Answer: 4 / 663

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 queens in a deck of 52 cards.

Probability = 4/52 = 1/13

There are 4 sevens

Probability = 4/51

Total probability = 1/13 x 4/51 = 4 / 663

The probability of drawing a queen first and a seven-second is 3/613.

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the possibility of an event being equal to the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of outcomes.

There are 4 queens in a standard deck, and once one queen is drawn, there are 51 cards left, including 3 sevens.

So, the probability of drawing a queen first is 4/52 or 1/13, and the probability of drawing a seven-second is 3/51.

By the multiplication rule of probability, multiply the probabilities of each event occurring:

P(Queen and Seven) = P(Queen) × P(Seven after Queen)

P(Queen and Seven) = (1/13) × (3/51)

P(Queen and Seven) = 3/613

Thus, the probability of drawing a queen first and a seven-second is 3/613.
