Answer:
C. The coefficient of variation is a measure of relative dispersion that expresses the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean, for any data on a ratio scale and an interval scale
Step-by-step explanation:
Th Coefficient of Variance is a measure of dispersion that can be calculated using the formula:
[tex]CV = \frac{\sigma_{x} }{\mu_{x} } * 100%[/tex]
Where [tex]\sigma{x}[/tex] is the Standard Deviation
and [tex]\mu_{x}[/tex] is the sample mean
From the formula written above, it is shown that the Coefficient of Variation expresses the Standard Deviation as a percentage of the mean.
Coefficient of variation can be used to compare positive as well as negative data on the ratio and interval scale, it is not only used for positive data.
The Interquartile Range is not a measure of central tendency, it is a measure of dispersion.

Maria, Daniel, Stephanie, Michael, Elena, Tyler, Sue, and Dimitri have reserved eight seats in a row at the theater, starting at an aisle seat. In how many ways can they arrange themselves if Maria and Daniel are to sit next to each other?
Answer:
1x1x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 720 also they can sit in:
6x1x1x5x4x3x2x1 = 720
6x5x1x1x4x3x2x1 = 720
6x5x4x1x1x3x2x1 = 720
6x5x4x3x1x1x2x1 = 720
6x5x4x3x2x1x1x1 = 720
6x5x4x3x2x1x1x1 = 720 or you could have gone 720 x 7

Sample mean 157 218
Sample Variance 1563 1602
Assume population variances are unequal.
(a) The point estimate of the difference between the means of the two populations is
(b) The standard error for the difference between the two means is
(c) The correct distribution to use is :
t-distribution with 26 degrees of freedom
t-distribution with 23 degrees of freedom
normal distribution
t-distribution with 24 degrees of freedom
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
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 of low-tech industry
x2 = sample mean of consumer products industry
s1 = sample standard deviation low-tech industry
s2 = sample standard deviation for consumer products industry
n1 = number of samples of low-tech industry
n2 = number of samples of consumer products industry
a) x1 - x2 is the point estimate of the difference between the means of the two populations
Therefore,
Point estimate = 157 - 218 = - 61
b) the formula for standard error is expressed as
√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)
Variance = standard deviation²(s²)
s1² = 1563
s2² = 1602
Standard error = √(1563²/14 + 1602²/12) = 623.2
c) Degree of freedom =
(n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1) = (14 - 1) + (12 - 1) = 24
t-distribution with 24 degrees of freedom
According to the data given, we have that:
a) 61
b) 15.65
c) t-distribution with 24 degrees of freedom
Item a:
The point estimate is the difference between the two sample means, hence:
218 - 157 = 61.
Item b:
For each sample, the standard errors are:
[tex]s_l = \sqrt{\frac{1563}{14}} = 10.57[/tex]
[tex]s_h = \sqrt{\frac{1602}{12}} = 11.54[/tex]
For the difference of the two means, it is:
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_l^2 + s_h^2} = \sqrt{10.57^2 + 11.54^2} = 15.65[/tex]
Item c:
Samples of 14 and 12, hence 14 + 12 - 2 = 24 df.

In ABC, mA = 46, mB = 105, and c = 19.8. Find a to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
a = 29.3785
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ∠A = 46° and ∠B = 105°
we know that ∠A +∠B+∠C = 180°
46° + 105° +∠C = 180°
∠C = 180 - 46 -105
∠ C = 29°
By using sine rule
[tex]\frac{a}{sin A} = \frac{b}{Sin B} = \frac{c}{Sin C} = 2 R[/tex]
[tex]\frac{a}{sin A} = \frac{c}{Sin C}[/tex]
Given ∠A = 46° and ∠ C = 29° and c = 19.8
[tex]\frac{a}{sin 46} = \frac{19.8}{Sin 29}[/tex]
on cross multiplication , we get
[tex]a = \frac{19.8 X sin 46}{Sin 29}[/tex]
a = 29.3785

Answer:
1) [tex] E(M) = 14*0.3 + 10*0.4 + 19*0.3 = 13.9 \%[/tex]
2) [tex]E(J)= 22*0.3 + 4*0.4 + 12*0.3 = 11.8 \%[/tex]
3) [tex] E(M^2) = 14^2*0.3 + 10^2*0.4 + 19^2*0.3 = 207.1 [/tex]
And the variance would be given by:
[tex]Var (M)= E(M^2) -[E(M)]^2 = 207.1 -(13.9^2)= 13.89[/tex]
And the deviation would be:
[tex] Sd(M) = \sqrt{13.89}= 3.73[/tex]
4) [tex] E(J^2) = 22^2*0.3 + 4^2*0.4 + 12^2*0.3 =194.8 [/tex]
And the variance would be given by:
[tex]Var (J)= E(J^2) -[E(J)]^2 = 194.8 -(11.8^2)= 55.56[/tex]
And the deviation would be:
[tex] Sd(M) = \sqrt{55.56}= 7.45[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following distributions given:
Probability M J
0.3 14% 22%
0.4 10% 4%
0.3 19% 12%
Part 1
The expected value is given by this formula:
[tex] E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] E(M) = 14*0.3 + 10*0.4 + 19*0.3 = 13.9 \%[/tex]
Part 2
[tex]E(J)= 22*0.3 + 4*0.4 + 12*0.3 = 11.8 \%[/tex]
Part 3
We can calculate the second moment first with the following formula:
[tex] E(M^2) = 14^2*0.3 + 10^2*0.4 + 19^2*0.3 = 207.1 [/tex]
And the variance would be given by:
[tex]Var (M)= E(M^2) -[E(M)]^2 = 207.1 -(13.9^2)= 13.89[/tex]
And the deviation would be:
[tex] Sd(M) = \sqrt{13.89}= 3.73[/tex]
Part 4
We can calculate the second moment first with the following formula:
[tex] E(J^2) = 22^2*0.3 + 4^2*0.4 + 12^2*0.3 =194.8 [/tex]
And the variance would be given by:
[tex]Var (J)= E(J^2) -[E(J)]^2 = 194.8 -(11.8^2)= 55.56[/tex]
And the deviation would be:
[tex] Sd(M) = \sqrt{55.56}= 7.45[/tex]

The number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is made c. The response to the survey question "Did you smoke in the last week question mark " d. The number of people in a restaurant that has a capacity of 150 e. The time it takes for a light bulb to burn out f. The height of a randomly selected giraffe a. Is the number of points scored during a basketball game a discrete random variable, a continuous random variable, or not a random variable?
Answer:
a. Discrete random variable
b. Discrete random variable
c. Discrete random variable
d. Discrete random variable
e. Continous random variable
f. Continous random variable
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The number of points scored during a basketball game.
This is a random variable, that only takes integer values, so it is a discrete random variable.
b. The number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is made.
This is a count, so it is a discrete random variable.
c. The response to the survey question "Did you smoke in the last week question mark".
This is a boolean random variable (only two values), and can be considered discrete.
d. The number of people in a restaurant that has a capacity of 150.
This is a count of people, so it is a discrete random variable.
e. The time it takes for a light bulb to burn out.
Time is continous, so it is a continous random variable.
f. The height of a randomly selected giraffe.
Height, as it is a distance, is also a continous variable, so it is a continous random variable.

State the null and alternative hypotheses. Choos
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
A group of professors investigated first-year college students' knowledge of astronomy. One concept of interest was the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe. In a sample of 149 freshmen students, 32 believed that the Big Bang theory accurately described the creation of planetary systems. Based on this information, is it correct at the alpha = 0.01 level of significance to state that more than 20% of all freshmen college students believe the Big Bang theory describes the creation of planetary systems? State the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. H_0: p = 0.20 H_a: p not equal to 0.20 H_0: p not equal to 0.20 H_a: p = 0.20 H_0: p = 0.20 H_a: p 0.20 If alpha = 0.05, find the rejection region for the test. Choose the correct answer below. z > 1.645 z > 1.96 z
Solution:
We would set up the null and alternative hypothesis. The correct options are
For null hypothesis,
p ≥ 0.2
For alternative hypothesis,
p < 0.2
This is a left tailed test.
Considering the population proportion, probability of success, p = 0.2
q = probability of failure = 1 - p
q = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8
Considering the sample,
Sample proportion, P = x/n
Where
x = number of success = 32
n = number of samples = 149
P = 32/149 = 0.21
We would determine the test statistic which is the z score
z = (P - p)/√pq/n
z = (0.21 - 0.2)/√(0.2 × 0.8)/149 = 0.31
The calculated test statistic is 0.31 for the right tail and - 0.31 for the left tail
Since α = 0.05, the critical value is determined from the normal distribution table.
For the left, α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025
The z score for an area to the left of 0.025 is - 1.96
For the right, α/2 = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975
The z score for an area to the right of 0.975 is 1.96
In order to reject the null hypothesis, the test statistic must be smaller than - 1.96 or greater than 1.96
Therefore, the rejection region is z > 1.96

So if we know the perimeter of the circle we can find it's radius using the formula for perimeter:
[tex]p = 2\pi(r)[/tex]
So we can solve for radius:
[tex]r = \frac{10.71}{2\pi} [/tex]
Then we can plug this radius into the formula for the area of a circle:
[tex]a = \pi {r}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]a = \pi( \frac{10.71}{2\pi} ) ^{2} [/tex]
Then it only wants a quarter of that area so we divide that value by 4 which upon simplification becomes the answer:
[tex]2.28 {ft}^{2} [/tex]
Answer:
[tex] \boxed{Area \: of \: quarter \: circle = 7.065 \: square \: feet} [/tex]
Given:
Perimeter of quarter circle = 10.71 feet
To find:
Area of quarter circle
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to calculate the radius of quarter circle:
Let the radius of quarter circle be 'r'
[tex]Perimeter \: of \: quarter \: circle = \frac{\pi r}{2} + 2r[/tex]
[tex] \implies 10.71 = \frac{\pi r}{2} + 2r \\ \\ \implies 10.71 = \frac{\pi r}{2} +2r \frac{2}{2} \\ \\ \implies 10.71 = \frac{\pi r}{2} + \frac{4r}{2} \\ \\ \implies 10.71 = \frac{\pi r + 4r}{2} \\ \\ \implies 10.71 \times 2 = \pi r + 4r \\ \\ \implies 21.42 = \pi r + 4r \\ \\ \implies 21.42 = (\pi + 4)r \\ \\ \implies 21.42 = (3.14 + 4)r \\ \\ \implies 21.42 = 7.14r \\ \\ \implies 7.14r = 21.42 \\ \\ \implies r = \frac{21.42}{7.14} \\ \\ \implies r = 3 \: ft[/tex]
[tex] Area \: of \: quarter \: circle = \frac{\pi {r}^{2} }{4} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{\pi \times {(3)}^{2} }{4} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{\pi \times 9}{4} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{3.14 \times 9}{4} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{28.26}{4} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =7.065 \: {ft}^{2} [/tex]

1. Lengths of segments
(a) Segment VS
If Vitor walks 260 m,
VS + SE = 260
VS + 100 = 260
VS = 260 - 100 = 160 m
(b) Segment MJ
If Marcos walks 270 m,
MJ + JE = 270
VS + 180 = 270
VS = 270 - 180 = 90 m
(c) Segment PV
The segments on the transversals are proportional.
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{x}{90} & = & \dfrac{160}{180} \\\\x & = & 90 \times \left (\dfrac{160}{180}\right )\\\\& = &\textbf{80 m}\\\end{array}\\\textbf{PV = 80 m}[/tex]
2. Distance travelled by Pedro
Distance = PV + VS + SE = 80 m + 160 m + 100 m = 340 m
Pedro walks 340 m to school.
need help in b and c. show calculation pls.
√(16 - x^2) is defined only for -4 ≤ x ≤ 4, and is continuous over this domain, so
[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-4^+}\sqrt{16-x^2}=\sqrt{16-(-4)^2}=0[/tex]
From the other side, the limit does not exist, because all x < -4 do not belong to the domain.
Taken together, the two-sided limit also does not exist.
Bob is a travel agent. He receives 7% commission when he books a cruise for a customer. How much commission will he receive for booking a $3,900 cruise?

A company services home air conditioners. It is known that times for service calls follow a normal distribution with a mean of 75 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes. A random sample of twelve service calls is taken. What is the probability that exactly eight of them take more than 93.6 minutes
Answer:
The probability that exactly eight of them take more than 93.6 minutes is 5.6015 [tex]\times 10^{-6}[/tex] .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that it is known that times for service calls follow a normal distribution with a mean of 75 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes.
A random sample of twelve service calls is taken.
So, firstly we will find the probability that service calls take more than 93.6 minutes.
Let X = times for service calls.
So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=75,\sigma^{2} =15^{2}[/tex])
The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean time = 75 minutes
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 15 minutes
Now, the probability that service calls take more than 93.6 minutes is given by = P(X > 93.6 minutes)
P(X > 93.6 min) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{93.6-75}{15}[/tex] ) = P(Z > 1.24) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.24)
= 1 - 0.8925 = 0.1075
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.24 in the z table which has an area of 0.8925.
Now, we will use the binomial distribution to find the probability that exactly eight of them take more than 93.6 minutes, that is;
[tex]P(Y = y) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; y = 0,1,2,3,.........[/tex]
where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 12 service calls
r = number of success = exactly 8
p = probability of success which in our question is probability that
it takes more than 93.6 minutes, i.e. p = 0.1075.
Let Y = Number of service calls which takes more than 93.6 minutes
So, Y ~ Binom(n = 12, p = 0.1075)
Now, the probability that exactly eight of them take more than 93.6 minutes is given by = P(Y = 8)
P(Y = 8) = [tex]\binom{12}{8}\times 0.1075^{8} \times (1-0.1075)^{12-8}[/tex]
= [tex]495 \times 0.1075^{8} \times 0.8925^{4}[/tex]
= 5.6015 [tex]\times 10^{-6}[/tex] .
Jodie Meeks's Free Throws During the 2015-16 NBA season, Jodie Meeks of the Detroit Pistons had a free throw shooting percentage of 0.906 . Assume that the probability Jodie Meeks makes any given free throw is fixed at 0.906 , and that free throws are independent.If Jodie Meeks shoots 6 free throws in a game, what is the probability that he makes at least 5 of them?
Answer:
0.8973
Step-by-step explanation:
Relevant data provided in the question as per the question below:
Free throw shooting percentage = 0.906
Free throws = 6
At least = 5
Based on the above information, the probability is
Let us assume the X signifies the number of free throws
So, Then X ≈ Bin (n = 6, p = 0.906)
[tex]P = (X = x) = $\sum\limits_{x}^6 (0.906)^x (1 - 0.906)^{6-x}, x = 0,1,2,3,.., 6[/tex]
Now
The Required probability = P(X ≥ 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)
[tex]= $\sum\limits_{5}^6 (0.906)^5 (1 - 0.906)^{6-5} + $\sum\limits_{6}^6 (0.906)^6 (1 - 0.906)^{6-6}[/tex]
= 0.8973
