John averages 58 words per minute on a typing test with a standard deviation of 11 words per minute. Suppose John's words per minute on a minute on a typing test. Then X~N(58,11)
Answer:
The z score when x =72 is:
[tex] z = \frac{72-58}{11}= 1.273[/tex]
The mean is 58
This z-score tells you that x= 72 is 1.273 standard deviations to the right of the mearn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the following info for the question: Suppose John's words per minute on a typing test are normally distributed. Let X -the number of words per minute on a typing test. Then X N(58, 11) If necessary, round to three decimal places.
Provide your answer below rds per minute in a typing test on Sunday. The z score when x =72 is
For this case we know that the variable of interest is modelled with the normal distribution:
[tex]X \sim N (\mu= 58, \sigma=11)[/tex]
And the z score is given by:
[tex] z = \frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The percent, X , of shrinkage o n drying for a certain type of plastic clay has an average shrinkage percentage :, where parameter : is unknown. A random sample of 45 specimens from this clay showed an average shrinking percentage of 18.4 and a standard deviation of 2.2.
Required:
a. Estimate at 5% level of significance whether the true average shrinkage percentage U: is greater than 17.5 and write your conclusion.
b. Report the p-value.
Answer:
a) [tex]t=\frac{18.4-17.5}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.744[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=45-1=44[/tex]
The critical value for this case is [tex]t_{\alpha}=1.68[/tex] since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4
b) [tex]p_v =P(t_{(44)}>2.744)=0.0044[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
[tex]\bar X=18.4[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]s=2.2[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation
[tex]n=45[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =17.5[/tex] represent the value to verify
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level
t would represent the statistic
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
Part a
We want to test if the true mean is higher than 17.5, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 17.5[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 17.5[/tex]
The statistic is given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
And replacing we got:
[tex]t=\frac{18.4-17.5}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.744[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=45-1=44[/tex]
The critical value for this case is [tex]t_{\alpha}=1.68[/tex] since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4
Part b
The p value would be given by:

Bonita said that the product of 5/6 x 1 2/3 is 7/3.
How can you tell that her answer is wrong.
Answer:
Bonita's product is too large
Step-by-step explanation:
The two factors in the problem are (5/6) and (5/3). The factor 5/6 is less than 1, ensuring that the product will be less than 5/3.
Bonita's result of 7/3 is more than 5/3, so is too large to be the product.
If f(x) = 4–1 and g(x) = 8x, which expression is equivalent to (g-1)(3)?
O 8-3-(4 + 3)
08-3-(4-32
813)-4432
O 6(3) 4-32
Answer:
Option (3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given functions are f(x) = 4 - x² and g(x) = 6x
We gave to find the expression for (g - f)(3).
(g - f)(x) = g(x) - f(x)
= 6x - (4 - x²)
= 6x - 4 + x²
By substituting x = 3 in this expression,
(g - f)(x) = 6(3) - 4 + (3)²
Therefore, option (3) will be the answer.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (4, 2) ) and is parallel to 3x - 2y = - 6 ?
Answer:
[tex]y=\frac{3}{2} x-4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph I provided shows it passes thru (4,2) and that it is parallel
Answer:
y = 3/2x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 2y = - 6
First find the slope by putting it in slope intercept form
Subtract 3x from each side
-2y = -3x-6
Divide by -2
y = -3x/-2 -6/-2
y = 3/2x +3
The slope is 3/2
Parallel lines have the same slope
We have the slope 3/2 and a point (4,2)
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y =3/2x+b
Substitute the point into the equation
2 = 3/2(4) +b
2 = 6 +b
Subtract 6
2-6 = 6-6+b
-4 =b
y = 3/2x -4

Answer:
x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{x}{2} \geq 0.75[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{2} < 2.5[/tex]
Required
Find the value of x.
First, the inequalities need to be rewritten and merged;
if [tex]\frac{x}{2} \geq 0.75[/tex], then
[tex]0.75 \leq \frac{x}{2}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2
[tex]2 * 0.75 \leq \frac{x}{2} * 2[/tex]
[tex]1.5 \leq x[/tex]
Similarly;
[tex]\frac{x}{2} < 2.5[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2
[tex]2 * \frac{x}{2} < 2.5 * 2[/tex]
[tex]x < 5[/tex]
Merging these results together; to give
[tex]1.5 \leq x < 5[/tex]
This means that the range of values of x is from 1.5 to 4.9999....
From the question, x is the smallest rational number; from the range above ([tex]1.5 \leq x < 5[/tex]), the minimum value of x is 1.5 and 1.5 is a rational number;
Hence, x = 1.5

Answer:
The quarter circle's area is 38.47 yard²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a full circle is pi * r ²
The area of a quarter circle is 1/4 * pi * r ²
Given:
Use 3.14 for pi
Round to the nearest hundredths.
Perimeter of quarter circle is 24.99 yards
For r you must leave it as 'r' because we do not know it for now...
1. Circumference of a full circle = 2* pi * r
2. 1/4 * ( 2 * pi * r )
1/4 * ( 2 * 3.14 * r )
1/2 * 3.14 * r
1.57 * r
3 Since r = 'r'
We have to 2 sides running from the centre of the 'pie' to the left and right of the quarter circle which both have a length of exactly 'r'. So you just add 2 * r.
4. The outcome of step 2 + step 3 is the perimeter of quarter circle, which was given as 24.99 inch
1.57 * r + 2 * r = 24.99
( 1.57 + 2 ) * r = 24.99
3.57 * r = 24.99
Divide left and right of the = sign by 3.57
3.57 / 3.57 * r = 24.99 / 3.57
1 * r = 24.99 / 3.57
r = 7
The area of a quarter circle is 1/4 * pi * r ²
1/4 * pi * 7²
1/4 * 49 * pi
49/4 * pi
49/4 * 3.14
38.465
Round to the nearest hundredths gives 38.47 yard²
The quarter circle's area is 38.47 yard²

Also complete parts e. and f.
e. Which car appears to be the safest?
f. Based on these limited results, do small cars appear to have about the same risk of head injury in a crash?
Answer:
a) Mean = 434.14
b) Median = 406
c) Midrange = 421.5
d) Mode = 0
e) Car C appears to be the safest
f) The small cars does not appear to have about the same risk of head injury in a crash.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the head injury measurements from small cars that were tested in crashes.
The measurements are in "hic," which is a measurement of a standard "head injury criterion.
The listed values are;
A = 514
B = 541
C = 302
D = 400
E = 507
F = 406
G = 369
a) Mean
The mean of the measurements is given by
Mean = Sum of measurements/ Number of measurements
Mean = (514 + 541 + 302 + 400 + 507 + 406 + 369)/7
Mean = 3039/7
Mean = 434.14
b) Median
Arrange the measurements in ascending order (low to high)
302, 369, 400, 406, 507, 514, 541
The median is given by
Median = (n + 1)/2
Median = (7 + 1)/2
Median = 8/2
Median = 4th
Therefore, the 4th measurement is the median that is 406
Median = 406
c) Mid-range
The midrange is given by
Midrange = (Max + Min)/2
The maximum measurement in the data set is 541
The minimum measurement in the data set is 302
Midrange = (541 + 302)/2
Midrange = 843/2
Midrange = 421.5
d) Mode for the data
The mode of the data set is the most repeated measurement.
302, 369, 400, 406, 507, 514, 541
In the given data set we don't have any repeated measurement therefore, there is no mode or we can say the mode of this data set is 0.
Mode = 0
e) Which car appears to be the safest?
Since we are given that the measurements are in "hic," which is a measurement of a standard "head injury criterion," (lower "hic" values correspond to safer cars)
The lowest hic value corresponds to car C that is 302
Therefore, car C appears to be the safest among other cars.
f) Based on these limited results, do small cars appear to have about the same risk of head injury in a crash?
302, 369, 400, 406, 507, 514, 541
As you can notice, the hic values differ a lot from each other therefore, we can conclude that the small cars does not appear to have about the same risk of head injury in a crash.

A state end-of-grade exam in American History is a multiple-choice test that has 50 questions with 4 answer choices for each question. A student must get at least 25 correct to pass the test, and the questions are very difficult. Question 1. If a student guesses on every question, what is the probability the student will pass
Answer:
0.004% probability the student will pass
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using 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.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
In this problem, we have that:
[tex]n = 50, p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]
So
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 50*0.25 = 12.5[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{50*0.25*0.75} = 3.06[/tex]
If a student guesses on every question, what is the probability the student will pass
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 25 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 24.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 24.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{24.5 - 12.5}{3.06}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 3.92[/tex]
[tex]Z = 3.92[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.99996
1 - 0.99996 = 0.00004
0.004% probability the student will pass

g Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 10 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 6 ft high
Answer:
0.3537 feet per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 10 ft3/min. Since we are told that the shape formed is a cone, the rate of change of the volume of the cone.
[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt}=10$ ft^3/min[/tex]
[tex]\text{Volume of a cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h[/tex]
If the Base Diameter = Height of the Cone
The radius of the Cone = h/2
Therefore,
[tex]\text{Volume of the cone}=\dfrac{\pi h}{3} (\dfrac{h}{2}) ^2 \\V=\dfrac{\pi h^3}{12}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Rate of Change of the Volume}, \dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}[/tex]
Therefore: [tex]\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=10[/tex]
We want to determine how fast is the height of the pile is increasing when the pile is 6 feet high.
[tex]When h=6$ feet$\\\dfrac{3\pi *6^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=10\\9\pi \dfrac{dh}{dt}=10\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}= \dfrac{10}{9\pi}\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0.3537$ feet per minute[/tex]
When the pile is 6 feet high, the height of the pile is increasing at a rate of 0.3537 feet per minute.

A physicist examines 25 water samples for nitrate concentration. The mean nitrate concentration for the sample data is 0.165 cc/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.0783. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the population mean nitrate concentration. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
The 80% confidence interval for the the population mean nitrate concentration is (0.144, 0.186).
Critical value t=1.318
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate a 80% confidence interval for the mean.
The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.
The sample mean is M=0.165.
The sample size is N=25.
When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:
[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{0.078}{\sqrt{25}}=\dfrac{0.078}{5}=0.016[/tex]
The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
[tex]df=n-1=25-1=24[/tex]
The t-value for a 80% confidence interval and 24 degrees of freedom is t=1.318.
The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:
[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_M=1.318 \cdot 0.016=0.021[/tex]
Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:
[tex]LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 0.165-0.021=0.144\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 0.165+0.021=0.186[/tex]
The 80% confidence interval for the population mean nitrate concentration is (0.144, 0.186).
