4 builders are building some new classrooms at Trinity. It takes them 5 months to build the classrooms. How long will it take 10 builders?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

it takes

[tex]\boxed {\red {2 \: \: months}}[/tex]

for 10 builders

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4 \: \: \: builders = 5 \: month \\ 10 \: builders = x[/tex]

Let us solve

[tex]4 = 5 \\ 10 = x[/tex]

so

[tex]4 = x \\ 10 = 5[/tex]

use cross multiplication

[tex]5 \times 4 = 10 \times x \\ 20 = 10x \\ \frac{20}{10} = \frac{10x}{10} \\ \green {x = 2}[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{2months}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

B1 = 4

M1 = 5

B2 = 10

M2 = x (we have to find this)

Since it is an inverse proportion (more builders will take less time and vive versa), we'll write it in the order of

=> B1 : B2 = M2 : M1

=> 4:10 = x : 5

Product of Means = Product of Extremes

=> 10*x = 4*5

=> 10x = 20

Dividing both sides by 10

=> x = 2 months

So, it will take 2 months to build classrooms by 10 builders.

We do not have significant evidence at the given significance level to show that there is a difference among the four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of  cloth.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a chemist wishes to test the effect of four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of  cloth.

Since we are given data for four independent chemical agents to determine the effect on the strength of a particular type of cloth, therefore, a one-way analysis of variance may be used for the given problem.

ANOVA:

The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) may be used to find out whether there is any significant difference between the means of two or more independent categories of data.

Set up hypotheses:

Null hypotheses = H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄

Alternate hypotheses = H₁: μ₁ ≠ μ₂ ≠ μ₃ ≠ μ₄

Set up decision rule:

We Reject H₀ if p ≤ α

OR

We Reject H₀ if F > F critical

ANOVA in Excel:

Step 1:

In the data tab, select data analysis

Step 2:

Select "Anova single factor" from the analysis tools

Step 3:

Select the destination of input data in the "input range"

Step 4:

Select "rows" for the option "Group By"

Step 5:

Tick the option "labels in first row"

Step 6:

Set alpha = 0.05

Step 7:

Select the destination of output data in the "output options"

Conclusion:

Please refer to the attached results.

The p-value is found to be

p = 0.7038

The F value is found to be

F = 0.475

The F critical value is found to be

F critical = 3.238

Since p > α

A school is 16km due west of a school q.
What is the bearing of q from p?


Answers

Answer:

16 km due west

Step-by-step explanation:

The bearing of the school p from school q is 16 km due west.

To find the bearing of school q from school p, we have to find the direction that the school q is with respect to school p.

Since p is directly west of q, then it implies that q must be directly east of p.

We now know the direction.

Since the distance from q to p is exactly the same as the distance from p to q, then, the distance from p to q is 16 km.

Hence, the bearing of q from p is 16 km due west.

Which equation shows the correct use of the addition rule to determine the probability that a randomly selected show had animals in it or aired more than 10 times?

Answers

Options

0.7+0.2−0.4=0.5 0.7+0.2=0.9 0.7+0.4=1.1 0.4+0.2=0.6 0.7+0.4−0.2=0.9

Answer:

In probability theory

[tex]P$(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)$-$P(A and B)[/tex]

Let the event that the show had animals in it = A

P(A)=0.7

Let the event that the show aired more than 10 times =B

P(B)=0.4

P(A and B)= 0.2

[tex]P$(A or B)$=0.7+0.4-0.2=0.9[/tex]

Therefore, the equation which  shows the correct use of the addition rule to determine the probability that a randomly selected show had animals in it or aired more than 10 times is:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.86}{2} = 0.07[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.07 = 0.93[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.476[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (12, -2)? A) y = -6/5x + 10 B) y= -6/5x + 12 C) y = -5/6x -10 D) y = 5/6x - 12

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are those that have the same slope, or coefficient of x.

Here, let's calculate the slope of the given line. Slope is the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates, so given the two coordinates (12, 6) and (0, -4):

slope = m = (-4 - 6) / (0 - 12) = -10 / (-12) = 10/12 = 5/6

So the slope is 5/6. That means the equation we want should also have a slope of 5/6. Already, we can eliminate A, B, and C, leaving D as our answer. But, let's check.

The equation of a line can be written as [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where m is the slope and [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is the coordinates of a given point.

Here, our slope is 5/6 and our given point is (12, -2). So plug these in:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-(-2)=(5/6)(x-12)[/tex]

[tex]y+2=\frac{5}{6} x-10[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{5}{6} x-12[/tex]

This matches D, so we know that it's the correct answer.

What is the discrimination of this function !! Please help

Answers

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The discriminant of the function is negative since the function doesn't have real roots as evident from the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is the part of the quadratic formula underneath the square root symbol, that is, (b² - 4ac).

The discriminant tells us whether there are two solutions, one solution, or no solutions.

- When the discriminant is positive or greater than zero, that is, (b² - 4ac) > 0, the quadratic function has 2 real distinct roots.

- When the discriminant is equal to zero, that is, (b² - 4ac) = 0, the quadratic function has 1 repeated root.

- When the discriminant is negative or lesser than zero, that is, (b² - 4ac) < 0, the quadratic function has no real roots.

For this question, the graph of the quadratic function shows that it doesn't have real roots (this is evident because the graph doesn't cross the x-axis), hence, the duscriminant of this quadratic function has to bee negative.

G) C ∩ D = {RRL, RRS, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR}

Step-by-step explanation:

A) All vehicles must go right, left or straight ahead (three possibilities):

A = {RRR, LLL, SSS}

B) One vehicle must go right, one must go left, and the remaining one must go straight ahead (six possibilities):

B = {LRS. LSR, RLS, RSL, SLR, SRL}

C) There are three ways that exactly two vehicles go right (1 and 3, 2 and 3, 1 and 2), there are then two options for the remaining vehicle (left and straight) for a total of six possibilities:

C = {RRL, RRS, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR}

D) Follow the same reasoning from the previous item, but multiply the number of possibilities by 3 (for each direction in which both cars can go: right, left or straight):

D = {RRL, RRS, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR. LLR, LLS, LSL, LRL, RLL, SLL, SSL, SSR, SLS, SRS, LSS, RSS}

E) D' is the set containing all possibilities not present in set D. D' is comprised by the possibilities of all vehicles going in the same direction, or each vehicle in a different direction:

D' ={RRR, LLL, SSS, LRS. LSR, RLS, RSL, SLR, SRL}

F) The outcomes in C ∪ D is the union of elements from set C and D (neglecting repeated values), which happens to be all values in set D.

C ∪ D = {RRL, RRS, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR. LLR, LLS, LSL, LRL, RLL, SLL, SSL, SSR, SLS, SRS, LSS, RSS}

G) The outcomes in C ∩ D is the list of values present in both sets C and D, which happens to be all values in set C:

A very large sample of thickness measurements produced a mean equal to 0.635 inch and astandard deviation equal to 0.082 inch. If the thickness measurements were normally distributed, approximately what proportion were less than 7/16 inch?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(X<0.4375)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.4375-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{0.4375-0.635}{0.082})=P(z<-2.41)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the z table and we got:

[tex]P(z<-2.41)=0.0080[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the thickness of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(0.635,0.082)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=0.635[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=0.032[/tex]

We are interested on this probability

[tex]P(X<0.4375)[/tex]

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

[tex]P(X<0.4375)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.4375-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{0.4375-0.635}{0.082})=P(z<-2.41)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the z table and we got:

Solve these equations using elimination not substitution? 8x + 3y = 13 3x + 2y = 11 15 Points!

Answers

Answer:

x = -1, y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 3y = 13

3x + 2y = 11

Multiply the first equation by -2 and the second equation by 3. Then add them.

     -16x - 6y = -26

(+)     9x + 6y = 33

--------------------------

       -7x         = 7

x = -1

Now substitute x = -1 in the first original equation and solve for y.

8x + 3y = 13

8(-1) + 3y = 13

-8 + 3y = 13

3y = 21

Find a parabola with equation y = ax2 + bx + c that has slope 5 at x = 1, slope −11 at x = −1, and passes through the point (2, 18).

Answers

By "slope" I assume you mean slope of the tangent line to the parabola.

For any given value of x, the slope of the tangent to the parabola is equal to the derivative of y :

[tex]y=ax^2+bx+c\implies y'=2ax+b[/tex]

The slope at x = 1 is 5:

[tex]2a+b=5[/tex]

The slope at x = -1 is -11:

[tex]-2a+b=-11[/tex]

We can already solve for a and b :

[tex]\begin{cases}2a+b=5\\-2a+b=-11\end{cases}\implies 2b=-6\implies b=-3[/tex]

[tex]2a-3=5\implies 2a=8\implies a=4[/tex]

Finally, the parabola passes through the point (2, 18); that is, the quadratic takes on a value of 18 when x = 2:

[tex]4a+2b+c=18\implies2(2a+b)+c=10+c=18\implies c=8[/tex]

So the parabola has equation

[tex]\boxed{y=4x^2-3x+8}[/tex]

Using function concepts, it is found that the parabola is: [tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + 14[/tex]

----------------------------

The parabola is given by:

[tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

----------------------------

Slope 5 at x = 1 means that [tex]y^{\prime}(1) = 5[/tex], thus:

[tex]y^{\prime}(x) = 2ax + b[/tex]

[tex]y^{\prime}(1) = 2a + b[/tex]

[tex]2a + b = 5[/tex]

----------------------------

Slope -11 at x = -1 means that [tex]y^{\prime}(-1) = -11[/tex], thus:

[tex]-2a + b = -11[/tex]

Adding the two equations:

[tex]2a - 2a + b + b = 5 - 11[/tex]

[tex]2b = -6[/tex]

[tex]b = -\frac{6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]b = -3[/tex]

And

[tex]2a - 3 = 5[/tex]

[tex]2a = 8[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]a = 4[/tex]

Thus, the parabola is:

[tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + c[/tex]

----------------------------

It passes through the point (2, 18), which meas that when [tex]x = 2, y = 18[/tex], and we use it to find c.

[tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + c[/tex]

[tex]18 = 4(2)^2 - 3(4) + c[/tex]

[tex]c + 4 = 18[/tex]

[tex]c = 14[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + 14[/tex]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines are parallel, their slopes are the same.

Since the slope of line l is 2/7, the slope of its parallel line m must also be 2/7.

The answer is C.

Answer:

C. 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are lines that have the same slopes.

We know that line l is parallel to line m.

Therefore, the slope of line l is equal to the slope of line m.

[tex]m_{l} =m_{m}[/tex]

We know that line l has a slope of 2/7.

[tex]\frac{2}{7} =m_{m}[/tex]

So, line m also has a slope of 2/7. The answer is C. 2/7

The head of maintenance at XYZ Rent-A-Car believes that the mean number of miles between services is 3639 3639 miles, with a variance of 145,161 145,161 . If he is correct, what is the probability that the mean of a sample of 41 41 cars would differ from the population mean by less than 126 126 miles

Answers

Answer:

96.6% probability that the mean of a sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

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

A reminder is that the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

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.

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.

In this question:

[tex]\mu = 3639, \sigma = \sqrt{145161} = 381, n = 41, s = \frac{381}{\sqrt{41}} = 59.5[/tex]

Probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3639 + 126 = 3765 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3639 - 126 = 3513. So

X = 3765

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{3765 - 3639}{59.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.12[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.12[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.983

X = 3513

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

[tex]Z = \frac{3513 - 3639}{59.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.12[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.12[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.017

0.983 - 0.017 = 0.966

96.6% probability that the mean of a sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles

If Brooklyn College students have an IQ of 100, on average, with a standard deviation of 16 points, and I collect 48 BC Psychology students to see how Psych majors compare to all of BC, find the following:_______.
1. mu =
2. sigma =
3. mu _x bar =
4. sigma _x bar =

Answers

Answer:

1  [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]

2 [tex]\sigma = 16[/tex]

3 [tex]\mu_x = 100[/tex]

4 [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = 2.309[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

    The population mean is  [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]

    The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 16[/tex]

     The sample mean is  [tex]\mu_x = 100[/tex]

     The sample size is  [tex]n = 48[/tex]

     The mean standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

     [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = \frac{16 }{\sqrt{48} }[/tex]

     [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = 2.309[/tex]
