In a survey, 29 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $41 and standard deviation of $8. Construct a confidence interval at a 99% confidence level.
Give your answers to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

The  99%  confidence interval is

                     [tex]37.167< \= x < 44.833[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  [tex]n = 29[/tex]

  The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x =[/tex]$41

  The  sample standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma =[/tex]$8

   The  level of confidence is [tex]C =[/tex]99%

Given that the confidence level id  99% the level of confidence is evaluated as

        [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 1[/tex]%

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table which is  

      [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

The reason we are obtaining values for  is because  is the area under the normal distribution curve for both the left and right tail where the 99% interval did not cover while   is the area under the normal distribution curve for just one tail and we need the  value for one tail in order to calculate the confidence interval

Next we evaluate the margin of error which is mathematically represented as

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

substituting values

         [tex]MOE = 2.58 * \frac{8 }{\sqrt{29} }[/tex]

           [tex]MOE = 3.8328[/tex]

The 99% confidence level is constructed as follows

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

substituting values

    [tex]41 - 3.8328 < \= x < 41 + 3.8328[/tex]

     [tex]37.167< \= x < 44.833[/tex]

A father's age is 4 times as that of his son's age. in 5 years time, the father will be 3 times as old as his son. what are their present ages?​

Answers

Answer:

present age of son = 10 present age of father = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, present age of son be 'x'

present age of father be 'y'

y = 4x→ equation ( i )

After five years,

Son's age = x + 5

father's age = y + 5

According to Question,

[tex]y + 5 = 3(x + 5)[/tex]

Put the value of y from equation ( i )

[tex]4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)[/tex]

Distribute 3 through the parentheses

[tex]4x + 5 = 3x + 15[/tex]

Move variable to L.H.S and change it's sign

Similarly, Move constant to R.H.S. and change its sign

[tex]4x - 3x = 15 - 5[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x = 15 - 5[/tex]

Calculate the difference

[tex]x = 10[/tex]

Now, put the value of X in equation ( i ) in order to find the present age of father

[tex]y = 4x[/tex]

plug the value of X

[tex] = 4 \times 10[/tex]

Calculate the product

[tex] = 40[/tex]

Therefore,

Present age of son = 10

present age of father = 40

Answers

Answer:

3057.6 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a cylinder and a rectangular prism.  Solve for the area of each separately.

Cylinder

The formula for volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h.  The radius is 7, and the height is 7.

V = πr²h

V = π(7)²(7)

V = π(49)(7)

V = 343π

V = 1077.57 cm³

Rectangular Prism

The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh.  The length is 20, the width is 11, and the height is 9.

V = lwh

V = (20)(11)(9)

V = (220)(9)

V = 1980 cm³

Add the areas of the two shapes.

1077.57 cm³ + 1980 cm³ = 3057.57 cm³

Round to the nearest tenth.

3057.57 cm³ ≈ 3057.6 cm³

P(x)=2x^5+9x^4+9x^3+3x^2+7x-6;x=i,-2

Answers

Answer:

The value of the polynomial function at P(1) and P(-2) is 24 and 0 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the following polynomial function below;

[tex]\text{P}(x) = 2x^{5} +9x^{4} +9x^{3} +3x^{2}+7x-6[/tex]

Now, we have to calculate the value of P(x) at x = 1 and x = -2.

For this, we will substitute the value of x in the given polynomial and find it's value.

At x = 1;

[tex]\text{P}(1) = 2(1)^{5} +9(1)^{4} +9(1)^{3} +3(1)^{2}+7(1)-6[/tex]

[tex]\text{P}(1) = (2\times 1) +(9\times 1)+(9 \times 1)+(3\times 1)+(7\times 1)-6[/tex]

[tex]\text{P}(1) = 2 +9+9+3+7-6[/tex]

P(1) = 30 - 6

P(1) = 24

At x = -2;

[tex]\text{P}(-2) = 2(-2)^{5} +9(-2)^{4} +9(-2)^{3} +3(-2)^{2}+7(-2)-6[/tex]

[tex]\text{P}(-2) = (2\times -32) +(9\times 16)+(9 \times -8)+(3\times 4)+(7\times -2)-6[/tex]

[tex]\text{P}(-2) = -64 +144-72+12-14-6[/tex]

P(-2) = 156 - 156

P(-2) = 0

Hence, the value of the polynomial function at P(1) and P(-2) is 24 and 0 respectively.

WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST GETS BRAINLIEST:) Which expression represents the surface area of the cone? A cone with diameter 12 inches, height 8 inches, and slant height 10 inches. S A = pi r l + pi r squared (pi) (6) (10) + (pi) (6 squared) (pi) (8) (10) + (pi) (8 squared) (pi) (12) (10) + (pi) (12 squared) (pi) (10) (12) + (pi) (10 squared)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone is:

● Sa = Pi*r^2 +Pi*r*l

r is the radius and l is the slant heigth

The diameter of this cone is 12 inches so the radius is 6 (12/2=6).

●Sa = Pi*36 +Pi*6*10

●Sa = 301.59 in^2

Answer:

pi (6) * 10+ pi ( 6)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone is given by

SA =  pi rl +pi r^2  where r is the radius and l is the slant height

We know the diameter is 12 so the radius is 12/2 = 6

SA =  pi (6) * 10+ pi ( 6)^2

What is the focus of the parabola? y=−1/4x2−x+3

Answers

Answer:  Focus = (-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x+3\\\\\rightarrow a=-\dfrac{1}{4},\ b=-1[/tex]

First let's find the vertex. We do that by finding the Axis-Of-Symmetry:

[tex]AOS: x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}\quad =\dfrac{-(-1)}{2(\frac{-1}{4})}=\dfrac{1}{-\frac{1}{2}}=-2[/tex]

Then finding the maximum by inputting x = -2 into the given equation:

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{4}(-2)^2-(-2)+3\\\\y=-1+2+3\\\\y=4[/tex]

The vertex is: (-2, 4)

Now let's find p, which is the distance from the vertex to the focus:

[tex]a=\dfrac{1}{4p}\\\\\\-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4p}\\\\\\p=-1[/tex]

The vertex is (-2, 4) and p = -1

The focus is (-2, 4 + p) = (-2, 4 - 1) = (-2, 3)

A college administrator predicts that the proportion of students that are nursing majors is greater than 40%. To test this, a group of 400 students are randomly selected and it's determined that 190 are nursing majors. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test:

Ha:p>0.40

In this example, the p-value was determined to be 0.001. Find the conclusion and interpret the results for this hypothesis test for a proportion (use a significance level of 5%)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the following data:

H0:p=0.40 (null hypothesis)

Ha:p>0.40 (alternative hypothesis)

The p-value was determined to be 0.001.

a significance level of 5%

Since the p value (0.001) is less than the significance level (0.05), we will reject the null hypothesis and then we would conclude that the proportion of students that are nursing majors is greater than 0.4.

Answer:

p value= 0.131

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have calculated the test statistic, we can now proceed to find the p-value for this hypothesis test.Using the test statistic and since the hypothesis test is a left tailed test, the p-value will then be the area under the standard normal curve to the left of the test statistic of -1.12.Using the Standard Normal table given above, the area under the standard normal curve to the left of the test statistic of -1.12 is 0.131 (rounded to 3 decimal places.Thus the p-value = 0.131.

A cash register has $10 and $50 dollars bills with total of $1080.there are 28 bills in total how many of each bills.

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's set this up as a system of equations, where x is equal to the number of 10 dollar bills and y is equal to the number of 50 dollar bills.

10x+50y=1080

x+y=28

We want to solve for x or y. We can rearrange the second equation to find the value of one of the variables.

x+y=28

Subtract x from both sides.

y=28-x

Now, we have a value for y. So, we could replace the y in the first equation with 28-x and the solve for x.

10x+50(28-x)=1080

We use distributive property to undo the parentheses.

10x+1400-50x=1080

We combine like terms.

-40x+1400=1080

We subtract 1400 from both sides.

-40x=-320

We divide both sides by -40.

x=8

Since there are 28 total bills, this means that there must be 20 50 dollar ones because there are 8 10 dollar bills.

A right triangle has legs with lengths equal to 10 inches and 9x inches. Its hypotenuse measures (x + 10) inches. What is the approximate value of the hypotenuse? 10 inches 10.25 inches 20.25 inches 81 inches

Answers

Answer:

10.25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Perpendicular ( p ) = 9x

Base ( b ) = 10

Hypotenuse ( h ) = x + 10

Now, let's find the value of x

Using Pythagoras theorem:

[tex] {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]

Plug the values

[tex] {(x + 10)}^{2} = {(9x)}^{2} + {(10)}^{2} [/tex]

Using [tex] {(a + b)}^{2} = {a}^{2} + 2ab + {b}^{2} [/tex] , expand the expression

[tex] {x}^{2} + 20x + 100 = {(9x)}^{2} + {10}^{2} [/tex]

To raise a product to a power , raise each factor to that power

[tex] {x}^{2} + 20x + 100 = 81 {x}^{2} + {10}^{2} [/tex]

Evaluate the power

[tex] {x}^{2} + 20x + 100 = 81 {x}^{2} + 100[/tex]

Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation

[tex] {x}^{2} + 20x = 81 {x}^{2} [/tex]

Move x² to R.H.S and change its sign

[tex]20x = 81 {x}^{2} - {x}^{2} [/tex]

Calculate

[tex]20x = 80 {x}^{2} [/tex]

Swap both sides of the equation and cancel both on both sides

[tex]80x = 20[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 80

[tex] \frac{80x}{80} = \frac{20}{80} [/tex]

Calculate

[tex]x = \frac{20}{80} [/tex]

Reduce the numbers with 20

[tex]x = \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

The value of X is [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

Now, let's replace the value of x to find the approximate value of hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = [tex] \frac{1}{4} + 10[/tex]

Write all numerators above the common denominator

[tex] \frac{1 + 40}{4} [/tex]

Add the numbers

[tex] \frac{41}{4} [/tex]

[tex] = 10.25[/tex] inches

The letters "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", and "F" are written on six slips of paper, and the slips are placed into a hat. If the slips are drawn randomly without replacement, what is the probability that "E" is drawn first and "B" is drawn second?

Answers

Answer:

1/30

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting ”E” is 1/6.

There is only 1 “E” out of 6 letters.

There is no replacement.

There are now 5 letters without “E”.

”A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “F”

The probability of getting ”B” is 1/5.

There is only 1 “B” out of 5 letters.

⇒ 1/6 × 1/5

⇒ 1/30

The random variable x is the number of houses sold by a realtor in a single month at the Sendsom's Real Estate office. Its probability distribution is as follows:
Houses Sold (x) Probability P(x)
0 0.24
1 0.01
2 0.12
3 0.16
4 0.01
5 0.14

7 0.21
Find the mean of the given probability distribution.
A. μ = 3.35
B. μ = 3.50
C. μ = 3.60
D. μ = 3.40

Answers

Answer:

C. μ = 3.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Two tables have been attached to this response.

One of the tables contains the given data and distribution with two columns: Houses Sold and Probability

The other table contains the analysis of the data with additional columns: Frequency and Fx

=> The Frequency(F) column is derived from the product of the probability of each item in the Houses sold column and the total number of houses sold (which is 28). For example,

When the number of houses sold = 0

F = P(0) x Total number of houses sold

F = 0.24 x 28 = 6.72

When the number of houses sold = 1

F = P(1) x Total number of houses sold

F = 0.01 x 28 = 0.28

=> The Fx column is found by multiplying the Frequency column by the Houses Sold column. For example,

When the number of houses sold = 0

Fx = F * x

F = 6.72 x 0 = 0

Now to get the mean, μ we use the relation;

μ = ∑Fx / ∑F

Where;

∑Fx = summation of the items in the Fx column = 100.8

∑F = summation of the items in the Frequency column = 28

μ = 100.8 / 28

μ = 3.60

Therefore, the mean of the given probability distribution is 3.60

The mean of the discrete probability distribution is given by:

C. μ = 3.60

What is the mean of a discrete distribution?

The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability.

In this problem, the table x - P(x) gives each outcome and their respective probabilities, hence, the mean is:

[tex]E(X) = 0(0.24) + 1(0.01) + 2(0.12) + 3(0.16) + 4(0.01) + 5(0.14) + 6(0.11) + 7(0.21) = 3.6[/tex]

Hence option C is correct.
