Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The  90%  confidence interval for population mean is   [tex]14.7 < \mu < 19.1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 16.9[/tex]

    The confidence level is  [tex]C = 0.90[/tex]

     The sample size is  [tex]n = 45[/tex]

     The standard deviation

Now given that the confidence level is  0.90 the  level of significance is mathematically evaluated as

       [tex]\alpha = 1-0.90[/tex]

       [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex]  from the standardized normal distribution table. The values is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]

The  reason we are obtaining critical values for [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex]  instead of  that of  [tex]\alpha[/tex]  is because [tex]\alpha[/tex]  represents the area under the normal curve where the confidence level 1 - [tex]\alpha[/tex] (90%)  did not cover which include both the left and right tail while [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex]  is just considering the area of one tail which is what we required calculate the margin of error

  Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]MOE = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]MOE = 1.645* \frac{ 9 }{\sqrt{45} }[/tex]

         [tex]MOE = 2.207[/tex]

The  90%  confidence level interval is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\= x - MOE < \mu < \= x + MOE[/tex]

substituting values

     [tex]16.9 - 2.207 < \mu < 16.9 + 2.207[/tex]

    [tex]16.9 - 2.207 < \mu < 16.9 + 2.207[/tex]

     [tex]14.7 < \mu < 19.1[/tex]

(Assume the population is normally distributed.) a) State the null and the alternative hypotheses. b) Compute the standard error of the mean. c) Determine the test statistic. d) Test to determine whether or not the mean of the population is significantly less than 21.

Answers

Answer:

a

  The null hypothesis is  

         [tex]H_o : \mu = 21[/tex]

The Alternative  hypothesis is  

           [tex]H_a : \mu< 21[/tex]

b

     [tex]\sigma_{\= x} = 0.8944[/tex]

c

   [tex]t = -2.236[/tex]

d

  Yes the  mean population is  significantly less than 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given

           a set of  data  

                               20  18  17  22  18

       The confidence level is 90%

       The  sample  size  is  n =  5  

Generally the mean of the sample  is  mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]\= x = \frac{20 + 18 + 17 + 22 + 18}{5}[/tex]

       [tex]\= x = 19[/tex]

The standard deviation is evaluated as

        [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{\sum (x_i - \= x)^2}{n} }[/tex]

         [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ ( 20- 19 )^2 + ( 18- 19 )^2 +( 17- 19 )^2 +( 22- 19 )^2 +( 18- 19 )^2 }{5} }[/tex]

         [tex]\sigma = 2[/tex]

Now the confidence level is given as  90 %  hence the level of significance can be evaluated as

         [tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 10[/tex]%

         [tex]\alpha =0.10[/tex]

Now the null hypothesis is  

         [tex]H_o : \mu = 21[/tex]

the Alternative  hypothesis is  

           [tex]H_a : \mu< 21[/tex]

The  standard error of mean is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{\sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{2}{ \sqrt{5 } }[/tex]

        [tex]\sigma_{\= x} = 0.8944[/tex]

The test statistic is  evaluated as  

              [tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]t = \frac{ 19 - 21 }{ 0.8944 }[/tex]

              [tex]t = -2.236[/tex]

The  critical value of the level of significance is  obtained from the critical value table for z values as  

                   [tex]z_{0.10} = 1.28[/tex]

Looking at the obtained value we see that [tex]z_{0.10}[/tex] is greater than the test statistics value so the null hypothesis is rejected

A catering company is catering a large wedding reception. The host of the reception has
asked the company to spend a total of $454 on two types of meat: chicken and beef. The
chicken costs $5 per pound, and the beef costs $ 7 per pound. If the catering company
buys 25 pounds of chicken, how many pounds of beef can they buy?

Answers

The answer is 47 pounds

Explanation:

1. First, let's calculate the amount of money that was spent on chicken

$5 per pound of chicken x 25 pounds = $125

2. Calculate the amount of money left to buy beef by subtracting the total spend on chicken to the total of the budget.

$454 (total) - $125 (chicken)  =  $329

3. Calculate how many pounds of beef you can buy with the money left by dividing the money into the price for one pound.

$329 / $7 = 47 pounds

What is labor cost?

It refers to the expenditure done on procuring labor for the work.

How to calculate per hour labor cost?

In our situation Shannon paid total $339.50 in which the cost of the parts is $112 and 3.5 hours of labor. So,

labor cost Shannon Paid=339.50-112

=$227.50

labor cost per hour=227.50/3.5

=$6.5 per hour

Joni paid total $455 in which the cost of spare parts is $310 and rest is labor

labor cost paid by Joni=455-310

=$145

labor cost per hour=145/2.5

=$58 per hour

So by doing comparing we found that Shannon had paid $6 per hour extra for labor.

The resale value of a certain industrial machine decreases over a 8-year period at a rate that changes with time. When the machine is x years old, the rate at which its value is changing is 200(x - 8) dollars per year. By how much does the machine depreciate during the fifth year

Answers

Answer: The machine depreciates during the fifth year by $4000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The resale value of a certain industrial machine decreases over a 8-year period at a rate that changes with time.

When the machine is x years old, the rate at which its value is changing is 200(x - 8) dollars per year.

Then, the machine depreciates A(x) during the fifth year as

[tex]A(x) =\int^{5}_1200(x - 8)\ dx\\\\=200|\frac{x^2}{2}-8x|^{5}_1\\\\=200[\frac{5^2}{2}-\frac{1^2}{2}-8(5)+8(1)]\\\\=200 [12-32]\\\\=200(-20)=-4000[/tex]

Hence, the machine depreciates during the fifth year by $4000.

Carbon–14 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 0.0124 percent a year. How many years will it take for carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount? The equation for exponential decay is At = A0e–rt.


Answers

Answer:

It will take 18,569.2 years for carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of Carbon-14 after t years is given by the following equation:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)e^{-rt}[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Carbon–14 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 0.0124 percent a year.

This means that [tex]r = \frac{0.0124}{100} = 0.000124[/tex]

How many years will it take for carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount?

This is t for which:

[tex]A(t) = 0.1A(0)[/tex]

So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)e^{-rt}[/tex]

[tex]0.1A(0) = A(0)e^{-0.000124t}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.000124t} = 0.1[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-0.000124t}} = \ln{0.1}[/tex]

[tex]-0.000124t = \ln{0.1}[/tex]

[tex]t = -\frac{\ln{0.1}}{0.000124}[/tex]

[tex]t = 18569.2[/tex]

It will take 18,569.2 years for carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount

A restaurant gat an average of 14 calls in a 2 hr time period. What is the probability that at most 2 calls in 45 min period

Answers

Answer:

0.10512

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Mean number of calls(μ) in 2 hours = 14

2 hours = 60 * 2 = 120 minutes

Average number of calls in 45 minutes :

= (45 / 120) * 14

= 0.375 * 14

= 5.25

Now find P( x ≤ 2) = p(x = 0) + p( x = 1) + p(x = 2)

Using the poisson probability formula:

P(x, μ) = [(e^-μ) * (μ^x)] / x!

Where :

e = euler's constant

μ = 5.25

x = 0, 1, 2

Using the online poisson probability calculator :

P(x, 5.25) = P( x ≤ 2) = p(x = 0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2)

P(x, 5.25) = P( x ≤ 2) = 0.00525 + 0.02755 + 0.07232 = 0.10512

explain square roots

Answers

In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that y2 = x; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or y ⋅ y) is x. For example, 4 and −4 are square roots of 16 because 42 = (−4)2 = 16.

Answer:A square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number. Example: 4 × 4 = 16, so a square root of 16 is 4. Note that (−4) × (−4) = 16 too, so −4 is also a square root of 16. The symbol is √ which always means the positive square root. Example: √36 = 6 (because 6 x 6 = 36)

   p is a factor of the constant term

   q is a factor of the leading coefficient

In this example, the constant term is 14 and the leading coefficient is 1. It means that p is a factor of 14 and q a factor of 1.

Using Pascal’s Theorem, expand the expression 〖(2x-y)〗^3

Answers

Answer:

(2x - y)³ = 8x³ - 12x²y + 6xy² - y³

Step-by-step explanation:

Pascal's Theorem uses a set of already known and easily obtainable numbers in the expansion of expressions. The numbers serve as the coefficients of the terms in the expanded expression.

For the expansion of

(a + b)ⁿ

As long as n is positive real integer, we can obtain the coefficients of the terms of the expansion using the Pascal's triangle.

The coefficient of terms are obtained starting from 1 for n = 0.

- For the next coefficients of terms are 1, 1 for n = 1.

- For n = 2, it is 1, 2, 1

- For n = 3, it is 1, 3, 3, 1

The next terms are obtained from the previous one by writing 1 and summing the terms one by one and ending with 1.

So, for n = 4, we have 1, 1+3, 3+3, 3+1, 1 = 1, 4, 6, 4, 1.

The Pascal's triangle is

1

1 1

1 2 1

1 3 3 1

1 4 6 4 1

1 5 10 10 5 1

1 6 15 20 15 6 1

1 7 21 35 35 21 7 1

1 8 28 56 70 56 28 8 1

The terms can also be obtained from using the binomial theorem and writing the terms from ⁿC₀ all through to ⁿCₙ

So, for n = 3, the coefficients are 1, 3, 3, 1

Then the terms are written such that the sum of the powers of the terms is 3 with one of the terms having the powers reducing from n all through to 0, and the other having its powers go from 0 all through to n

So,

(2x - y)³ = [(1)(2x)³(-y)⁰] + [(3)(2x)²(-y)¹] + [(3)(2x)¹(-y)²] + [(1)(2x)⁰(-y)³]

= (1×8x³×1) + (3×4x²×-y) + (3×2x×y²) + (1×1×-y³)

= 8x³ - 12x²y + 6xy² - y³

Use Bayes' theorem to find the indicated probability 5.8% of a population is infected with a certain disease. There is a test for the disease, however the test is not completely accurate. 93.9% of those who have the disease test positive. However 4.1% of those who do not have the disease also test positive (false positives). A person is randomly selected and tested for the disease. What is the probability that the person has the disease given that the test result is positive?
a. 0.905
b. 0.585
c. 0.038
d. 0.475

Answers

Answer:

b. 0.585

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Bayes' theorem:

[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(B|A)*P(A)}{P(B)}[/tex]

Let A = Person is infected, and B = Person tested positive. Then:

P(B|A) = 93.9%

P(A) = 5.8%

P(B) = P(infected and positive) + P(not infected and positive)

[tex]P(B) = 0.058*0.939+(1-0.058)*0.041\\P(B)=0.09308[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a person has the disease given that the test result is positive, P(A|B), is:

[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{0.939*0.058}{0.09308}\\P(A|B)=0.585[/tex]

The probability is 0.585.

At noon a passenger train leaves the Dupont Railway station and travels due east for 2 hours. At 12:45 pm the same day a second passenger train leaves the same railway station and travels due west for 1 hour and 15 minutes at a speed 10 kilometers per hour slower than the first passenger train. At 2pm the two trains were 215 kilometers apart. How fast had each train been traveling

Answers

Answer:

The speed of the first train is 70 km/hr

The speed of the second train is 60 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first train:

Travel time = 2 hours

The speed = ?

we designate the speed as V

For the second train:

The travel time = 1 hr 15 min = 1.25 hrs (15 minutes = 15/60 hrs)

speed = 10 km/hr slower than that of the first train, we can then say

the speed = V - 10

The total distance traveled by both trains in the opposite direction of one another is 215 km

we can put this problem into an equation involving the distance covered by the trains.

we know that distance = speed x time

the distance traveled by the first train will be

==> 2 hrs x V = 2V

the distance traveled by the second train will be

==> 1.25 hrs x (V - 10) = 1.25(V - 10)

Equating the above distances to the total distance between the trains, we'll have

2V + 1.25(V - 10) = 215

2V + 1.25V - 12.5 = 215

3.25V = 215 + 12.5

3.25V = 227.5

V = 227.5/3.25 = 70 km/hr     this is the speed of the first train

Recall that the speed of the second train is 10 km/hr slower, therefore

speed of the second train = 70 - 10 = 60 km/hr

The speed of the trains are 70km/hr and 60km/hr respectively.

The distance of the first train will be represented by: = 2 × D = 2D

The distance of the second train will be represented by: = 1.25 × (D - 10) = 1.25(D - 10).

Based on the information given in the question, the equation to solve the question will be:

2D + 1.25(D - 10) = 215

Collect like terms

2D + 1.25D - 12.5 = 215

3.25D = 215 + 12.5

3.25D = 227.5

D = 227.5/3.25

D = 70km/hour

The speed of the second train will be:

= 70 - 10 = 60km per hour.

Answers

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the rational expression with the same denominator over the entire equation.

Since the expression on each side of the equation has the same denominator, the numerators must be equal

5x =4x+1

Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation.

Read the following passages from Nathaniel Hawthornes The Scarlett Letter. Though this work is set in a puritan society, its very much a Romantic-era work. In the following passages, you should see elements of both Romanticism and Gothicism. As you read the passages, annotate them for elements of both Romanticism and Gothicism. PASSAGE 1 The great black foreststern as it showed itself to those who brought the guilt and troubles of the world into its bosombecame the playmate of the lonely infant, as well as it knew how. Sombre as it was, it put on the kindest of its moods to welcome her. It offered her the partridge-berries, the growth of the preceding autumn, but ripening only in the spring, and now red as drops of blood upon the withered leaves. These Pearl gathered, and was pleased with their wild flavor. The small denizens of the wilderness hardly took pains to move out of her path. A partridge, indeed, with a brood of ten behind her, ran forward threateningly, but soon repented of her fierceness, and clucked to her young ones not to be afraid. A pigeon, alone on a low branch, allowed Pearl to come beneath, and uttered a sound as much of greeting as alarm. A squirrel, from the lofty depths of his domestic tree, chattered either in anger or merriment,for a squirrel is such a choleric and humorous little personage that it is hard to distinguish between his moods,so he chattered at the child, and flung down a nut upon her head. It was a last years nut, and already gnawed by his sharp tooth. A fox, startled from his sleep by her light footstep on the leaves, looked inquisitively at Pearl, as doubting whether it were better to steal off, or renew his nap on the same spot. A wolf, it is said,but here the tale has surely lapsed into the improbable,came up, and smelt of Pearls robe, and offered his savage head to be patted by her hand. The truth seems to be, however, that the mother-forest, and these wild things which it nourished, all recognized a kindred wildness in the human child. PASSAGE 2 The road, after the two wayfarers had crossed from the peninsula to the mainland, was no other than a footpath. It straggled onward into the mystery of the primeval forest. This hemmed it in so narrowly, and stood so black and dense on either side, and disclosed such imperfect glimpses of the sky above, that, to Hesters mind, it imaged not amiss the moral wilderness in which she had so long been wandering. The day was chill and sombre. Overhead was a gray expanse of cloud, slightly stirred, however, by a breeze; so that a gleam of flickering sunshine might now and then be seen at its solitary play along the path. This flitting cheerfulness was always at the farther extremity of some long vista through the forest. The sportive sunlightfeebly sportive, at best, in the predominant pensiveness of the day and scenewithdrew itself as they came nigh, and left the spots where it had danced the drearier, because they had hoped to find them bright.
