On a residential single lane road there was a wreck that backed up traffic for 5 miles. 80% of the traffic consists of cars and 20% of the traffic consists of trucks. The average distance between vehicles is 3 feet. The average length of a car is 13.5 feet and the average length of a truck is 20 feet. Estimate how many vehicles are stuck in the traffic jam. (Hint: There are 5280 feet in 1 mile.) A. 853 vehicles B. 1510 vehicles C. 2103 vehicles D. 2320 vehicles
Answers
Answer: b) 1510 vehicles
Step-by-step explanation:
Total: 5 miles x 5280 ft per mile = 26,400
Cars: 80% of vehicles are cars with a length of 13.5 = 0.8(13.5)v = 10.8v
Trucks: 20% of vehicles are trucks with length of 20 = 0.2(20)v = 4v
Between: Distance between two vehicles is 3: (3/2)v = 1.5v
Total = Cars + Trucks + Between
26,400 = 10.8v + 4v + 1.5v
26,400 = 16.3v
1619.6 = v
the closest number of all of the options is (b) 1510

A study was conducted to determine if the salaries of librarians from two neighboring cities were equal. A sample of 15 librarians from each city was randomly selected. The mean from the first city was $28,900 with a standard deviation of $2300. The mean from the second city was $30,300 with a standard deviation of $2100. Construct a 95% confidence interval for u1 -u2.
a) (-4081, 597)
b) (-2054, 238)
c) (-2871, 567)
d) (-3125, 325)
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the confidence interval for the difference of two population means is expressed as
Confidence interval = (x1 - x2) ± z√(s²/n1 + s2²/n2)
Where
x1 = sample mean salary of city 1 librarians
x2 = sample mean salary of city 2 librarians
s1 = sample standard deviation for city 1
s2 = sample standard deviation for city 2
n1 = number of soles for city 1
n1 = number of soles for city 2
For a 95% confidence interval, we would determine the z score from the t distribution table because the number of samples are small
Degree of freedom =
(n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1) = (15 - 1) + (15 - 1) = 28
z = 2.048
x1 - x2 = 28,900 - 30,300 = - 1400
Margin of error = 2.048√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2) = 2.036√(2300²/15 + 2100²/15)
= 1647
The upper boundary for the confidence interval is
- 1400 + 1647 = 247
The lower boundary for the confidence interval is
- 1400 - 1647 = - 3047

Belinda wants to show these result in a frequency table.
She will use 4 equal groups.
The first group will start with 1 hour and the last group will end with 20 hours.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she will use 4 groups or class intervals, the the class width would be 20/4 = 5 hours
The class groups would be
1 to 5
5 to 10
10 to 15
15 to 20
The class mark for each class is the average of the minimum and maximum value of each class. Therefore, the class marks are
(1 + 5)/2 = 3
(5 + 10)/2 = 7.5
(10 + 15)/2 = 12.5
(15 + 20)/2 = 17.5
The frequency table would be
Class group Frequency
1 - 5 4
5 - 10 8
10 - 15 6
15 - 20 2
The total frequency is 4 + 8 + 6 + 2 = 20

which is the taylor series expansion based at 0. Then for [tex]x\neq 0[/tex], by dividing both sidex by x, we have that
[tex]\text{sinc}(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{x}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]
which is the taylor series expansion for the sinc function. Since the series of sine converges for every value of x. Then the taylor series of sinc converges for every value of x, but 0.

(c) If two taxis are dispatched together, what is the probability that both of them will be gone for more than 25 minutes? (d) what is the likelihood of at least of one of the taxis returning within 25?
Answers
Answer:
a. The mean would be 0.067
The standard deviation would be 0.285
b. Would be of 1-e∧-375
c. The probability that both of them will be gone for more than 25 minutes is 1-e∧-187.5
d. The likelihood of at least of one of the taxis returning within 25 is 1-e∧-375
Step-by-step explanation:
a. According to the given data the mean and the standard deviation would be as follows:
mean=1/β=1/15=0.0666=0.067
standard deviation=√1/15=√0.067=0.285
b. To calculate How likely is it for a particular trip to take more than 25 minutes we would calculate the following:
p(x>25)=1-p(x≤25)
since f(x)=p(x≤x)=1-e∧-βx
p(x>25)=1-p(x≤25)=1-e∧-15x25=1-e∧-375
c. p(x>25/2)=1-p(x≤25/2)=1-e∧-15x25/2=1-e∧-187.5
d. p(x≥25)=1-e∧-15x25=1-e∧-375
A typical classroom is a rectangle with dimensions of 20 feet wide by 25 feet long, and the area needed for each person in the room is approximately 28 square feet, what fraction of the total area in a classroom is needed for each person? What is the largest number of people that would fit in an average sized classroom while practicing good social distancing?
Answers
Answer:
A fraction of 0.056 of the classroom is needed for each student.
A typical classroom can acomodate up to 17 persons while practicing good social distancing.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a classroom that is a recatngle with dimensions of 20 feet wide by 25 feet long.
The total area of the classroom is:
[tex]A=w\cdot l=20\cdot25=500[/tex]
As the area of the classromm is 500 square feet and we need 28 square feet for each student, the fraction that is needed for each student is:
[tex]f=\dfrac{A_{\text{student}}}{A_{\text{classroom}}}=\dfrac{28}{500}=0.056[/tex]
A fraction of 0.056 of the classroom is needed for each student.
The largest number of students that would fit in an average sized classroom while practicing good social distancing can be calculated dividing the area of the classroom by the area needed for each student. This is equal to the inverse of the fraction calculated previously:
[tex]n=\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{0.056}\approx17.86[/tex]
A typical classroom can acomodate up to 17 persons while practicing good social distancing.

The time for this event for boys in secondary school is known to possess a normal distribution with a mean of 460 seconds and a standard deviation of 40 seconds. Find the probability that a randomly selected boy in secondary school can run the mile in less than 368 seconds.
Answers
Answer:
The probability that a randomly selected boy in secondary school can run the mile in less than 368 seconds is P(X<368)=0.011.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a normal distribution with mean 460 and standard deviation 40 to describe the time for the mile run in its secondary-school fitness test.
We have to calculate the probabiltiy that a randomly selected boy in secondary school can run the mile in less than 368 seconds.
To calculate this, we have to calculate the z-score for X=368:
[tex]z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{368-460}{40}=\dfrac{-92}{40}=-2.3[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the probability:

c. P(X>50)P(X>50).
d. P(X<100)P(X<100).
Answers
Answer:
a. P(X=50)= 0.36
b. P(X≤75) = 0.9
c. P(X>50)= 0.48
d. P(X<100) = 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
The given data is
x 25 50 75 100 Total
P(x) 0.16 0.36 0.38 0.10 1.00
Where X is the variable and P(X) = probabililty of that variable.
From the above
a. P(X=50)= 0.36
We add the probabilities of the variable below and equal to 75
b. P(X≤75) = 0.16+ 0.36+ 0.38= 0.9
We find the probability of the variable greater than 50 and add it.
c. P(X>50)= 0.38+0.10= 0.48
It can be calculated in two ways. One is to subtract the probability of 100 from total probability of 1. And the other is to add the probabilities of all the variables less than 100 . Both would give the same answer.
d. P(X<100)= 1- P(X=100)= 1-0.1= 0.9

A high school student took two college entrance exams, scoring 1070 on the SAT and 25 on the ACT. Suppose that SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155 while the ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. Assuming the performance on both tests follows a normal distribution, determine which test the student did better on.
Answers
Answer:
Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.
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.
Determine which test the student did better on.
He did better on whichever test he had the higher z-score.
SAT:
Scored 1070, so [tex]X = 1070[/tex]
SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155. This means that [tex]\mu = 950, \sigma = 155[/tex].
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{1070 - 950}{155}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.77[/tex]
ACT:
Scored 25, so [tex]X = 25[/tex]
ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. This means that [tex]\mu = 22, \sigma = 4[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{25 - 22}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.75[/tex]
Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.
Consider the following dice game, as played at a certain gambling casino: players 1 and 2 roll a pair of dice in turn. the bank then rolls the dice to determine the outcome according to the following rule: player i,i=1,2, wins if his roll is strictly
Ii={1 if i wins, 0 otherwise}
and show that I1 and I2 are positively correlated. Explain why this result was to be expected.
Answers
Answer:
they are positively correlated.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate the individal expectations first. FIrst player will win if that player's roll is greater than the bank's roll. There are (6 possible rolls of player 1 * 6 possible rolls of bank =) 36 total possible rolls, out of which player 1 will win in 15 cases.
[tex]\therefore E(I_i) = 1\cdot \frac{15}{36} + 0 \cdot \frac{21}{36} = \frac{5}{12} \approx 0.4167[/tex]
For the joint expectation, there are (6 possible rolls of player 1 * 6 possible rolls of player 2 * 6 possible rolls of bank =) 216 total possible rolls.
Cases where both players win: Expectation = $2.
If bank rolls 1, both players will win in 5*5 = 25 cases. P1 is one of {2,3,4,5,6}, P2 is one of {2,3,4,5,6}
If bank rolls 2, both players will win in 4*4 = 16 cases.
If bank rolls 3, both players will win in 3*3 = 9 cases.
If bank rolls 4, both players will win in 2*2 = 4 cases.
If bank rolls 5, both players will win in 1*1 = 1 cases.
If bank rolls 6, both players will win in 0*0 = 0 cases.
Total cases = 25+16+9+4+1+0 = 55 cases.
Cases where player 1 wins $1 and player 2 loses: Expectation = $1.
If bank rolls 1, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 5*1 = 5 cases. P1 is one of {2,3,4,5,6}, P2 is {1}
If bank rolls 2, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 4*2 = 8 cases.
If bank rolls 3, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 3*3 = 9 cases.
If bank rolls 4, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 2*4 = 8 cases.
If bank rolls 5, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 1*5 = 5 cases.
If bank rolls 6, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 0*6 = 0 cases.
Total cases = 5+8+9+8+5+0 = 35
Cases where player 2 wins $1 and player 1 loses: Expectation = $1.
This is the same as above with player 1 and 2 exchanged.
Total cases = 35
Cases where both players lose: Expectation = $0.
If bank rolls 1, both players will lose in 1*1 = 1 cases. P1 is {1}, P2 is {1}
If bank rolls 2, both players will lose in 2*2 = 4 cases.
If bank rolls 3, both players will lose in 3*3 = 9 cases.
If bank rolls 4, both players will lose in 4*4 = 16 cases.
If bank rolls 5, both players will lose in 5*5 = 25 cases.
If bank rolls 6, both players will lose in 6*6 = 36 cases.
Total cases = 1+4+9+16+25+36 = 91 cases.
Total of all cases (we expect this to be 216 as mentioned above) = 55+35+35+91=216
So, joint expectation is:
[tex]E(I_1I_2) = \frac{2\cdot 55 +1\cdot 35+1\cdot 35+0\cdot 91}{216} = \frac{180}{216}= \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.8333[/tex]
So, the covariance is given by:
[tex]\texttt{Cov}(I_1I_2) =E(I_1I_2) -E(I_1)\cdot E(I_2)= \frac{5}{6}-\frac{5}{12}\cdot\frac{5}{12}=\frac{95}{144} \approx 0.6597[/tex]
As this is greater than 0 and closer to 1, they are positively correlated.
The reason why this result is expected is because the same bank roll is being used for both players. So, it is very likely that both players will win if the bank roll is 1 or even 2. Also, it is very likely that both players will lose if the bank roll is 6, 5, or even 4. This shows positive correlation between the events.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics Omnibus Household Survey is conducted annually and serves as an information source for the U.S. Department of Transportation. In one part of the survey the person being interviewed was asked to respond to the following statement: "Drivers of motor vehicles should be allowed to talk on a hand-held cell phone while driving." Possible responses were strongly agree, some what agree, some what disagree, and strongly disagree. Forty-four respondents said that they strongly agree with this statement, said that they some what agree, said they some what disagree, and said they strongly disagree with this statement.
Required:
a. Do the responses for this statement provide categorical or quantitative data?
b. Would it make more sense to use averages or percentages as a summary of the responses for this statement?
c. What percentage of respondents strongly agree with allowing drivers of motor vehicles to talk on a hand-held cell phone while driving?
d. Do the results indicate general support for or against allowing drivers of motor vehicles to talk on a hand-held cell phone while driving?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
a. It would provide a quantitative data
b. Yes, it would make more sense to use percentages rather than averages as this is estimating a proportion.
c. 44% of the respondents strongly agree
d. the results do not indicate general support for or against allowing drivers of motor vehicles to talk on a hand-held cell phone while driving as the only respondents will be those that agree with the researchers claim and the study will be biased against those who do not agree.
Tacoma's population in 2000 was about 200 thousand, and has been growing by about 8% each year. If this continues, what will Tacoma's population be in 2013?
Answers
Answer: The population will be 408,000 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
So in 2000 there were 200,000 people and it started to grow 8% every year so up to 2013.
so find 8% of 200,000 and then multiply it by the the number of years.
8% * 200,000 = 16,000
Find the difference between the years.
2013 - 2000 = 13 years
13 * 16000 = 208000 This is the amount of new people from 2000 to 2013 so add it to the original population.
208,000 + 200,000 = 408,000
