7. Trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange is heaviest during the first half hour (early morning) and last half hour (late afternoon) of the trading day. The early morning trading volumes (millions of shares) for 13 days in January and February are shown here (Barron’s, January 23, 2006; February 13, 2006; and February 27, 2006). 214 163 265 194 180 202 198 212 201 174 171 211 211 The probability distribution of trading volume is approximately normal. a) Compute the mean and standard deviation to use as estimates of the population mean and standard deviation. b) What is the probability that, on a randomly selected day, the early morning trading volume will be less than 180 million shares? c) What is the probability that, on a randomly selected day, the early morning trading volume will exceed 230 million shares?

Answers

Answer 1

In this problem, first we find the sample mean and the standard deviation, and then, we use the normal distribution. Then, we get that:

a) The mean is of 199.69 and the standard deviation is of 25.02.

b) 0.2148 = 21.48% probability that, on a randomly selected day, the early morning trading volume will be less than 180 million shares.

c) 0.1131 = 11.31% probability that, on a randomly selected day, the early morning trading volume will exceed 230 million shares.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

It 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, which is the percentile of X.

Item a:

The mean is the sum of all observations divided by the number of observations, thus:

[tex]\mu = \frac{214 + 163 + 265 + 194 + 180 + 202 + 198 + 212 + 201 + 174 + 171 + 211 + 211}{13} = 199.69[/tex]

The standard deviation is given by the square root of the sum of the difference squared between each observation and the mean, divided by the number of values. Thus:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{(214-199.69)^2 + (163-199.69)^2 + (265-199.69)^2 + (194-199.69)^2 + ... + (211-199.69)^2}{13}} = 25.02[/tex]

The mean is of 199.69 and the standard deviation is of 25.02.

Item b:

This probability is the p-value of Z when X = 180, thus:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{180 - 199.69}{25.02}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.79[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.79[/tex] has a p-value of 0.2148.

0.2148 = 21.48% probability that, on a randomly selected day, the early morning trading volume will be less than 180 million shares.

Item c:

This probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 230, thus:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{230 - 199.69}{25.02}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.21[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.21[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8869.

1 - 0.8869 = 0.1131

0.1131 = 11.31% probability that, on a randomly selected day, the early morning trading volume will exceed 230 million shares.

Answer: 11/9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert two to 18/9. This is still equal to two but this makes it easier to answer the problem, because both of the terms have the same denominator. Now, since both of them have the same denominator, all you need to do is subtract the numerators, and put that over the denominator of 9. 18-7=11. So the answer is 11/9. This is an improper fraction, though you could also make it into a mixed number: 1 and 2/9.

Answer:

11/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Add a one under the 2. So that it becomes 2/1. Now you have the expression, 2/1 - 7/9. To subtract fractions, you need the denominators of the two fractions to be the same. We can put 9 as the common denominator. All you have to do in order for 2/1 to have 9 as its denominator, is to multiply 9 for both the numerator and denominator; 2/1 x 9/9 = 18/9. After that, your new expression would be 18/9 7/9. Just subtract across, 18 - 7 = 11, keep the denominator 9. The answer should be 11/9

The function f(x) is shown in this graph.

The function g(x) = -2x - 5.

Compare the slopes and y-intercepts.

A. The slopes are different but the y-intercepts are the same.

B. Both the slopes and the y-intercepts are different.

C. The slopes are the same but the yintercepts are different.

D. Both the slopes and the y-intercepts are the same.​

Answers

The true statement about the functions f(x) and g(x) is (b) B. Both the slopes and the y-intercepts are different.

How to compare the slope and the y-intercept?

The function g(x) is given as:

g(x) = -2x - 5

A linear equation is represented as:

y = mx + b

Where m represents the slope, and b represents the y-intercept.

So, the slope of the function g(x) is -2 and the y-intercept is -5

For the function f(x), the slope is calculated using:

m =(y2 -y1)/(x2 - x1)

Using the points on the graph, we have:

m =(3 - 1)/(1 - 0)

Evaluate

m = 2

The line of the function f(x) cross the y-axis at (0,3);

So, its y-intercept is 3

Hence, both functions have different slopes and different y-intercepts

3. A random sample of 100 people was taken. There were sixty people who favored Brand A. We are interested in determining whether or not the proportion of the population in favor of Brand A is significantly more than 55%. At a 0.05 level of significance, it can be concluded that the portion of the population in favor of Brand A is ____. a. Significantly greater than 60% b. Not significantly greater than 55% c. Not significantly greater than 60% d. Significantly greater than 55% e. None of the above

Answers

Testing the hypothesis, it is found that the correct option is:

b. Not significantly greater than 55%.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is not significantly more than 55%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p \leq 0.55[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is significantly more than 55%, that is:

[tex]H_1: p < 0.55[/tex]

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\overline{p}[/tex] is the sample proportion. p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis. n is the sample size.

For this problem, the parameters are:

[tex]p = 0.55, n = 100, \overline{p} = \frac{60}{100} = 0.6[/tex]

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.6 - 0.55}{\sqrt{\frac{0.55(0.45)}{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.01[/tex]

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.6, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.01.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.01 has a p-value of 0.8438.

1 - 0.8438 = 0.1562.

The p-value of the test is 0.1562 > 0.05, which means that the proportion is not significantly greater than 55%, and option b is correct.

From here you want to solve both sides meaning adding -7-7 because both terms are negative they will combine, and the other side which is -7+4. They are opposite terms so you will subtract. This leaves you with -14=3 which is false.

P = M*V

Where M is the mass of the moving object and V is the velocity of the moving object.

Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola x2 a2 − y2 b2 = 1 at the point (x0, y0).

Answers

The equation of the tangent line is [tex]y = \frac{b^{2} x_{0}x }{a^{2} y_{0} } - \frac{b^{2} x_{0}^{2} }{a^{2} y_{0} } + y_{0}[/tex]

To find the tangent to the hyperbola [tex]\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} }[/tex] at (x₀, y₀), we differentiate the equation implicitly to find the equation of the tangent at (x₀, y₀).

So, [tex]\frac{d}{dx} (\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} }) = \frac{d0}{dx}\\\frac{d}{dx} \frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{d}{dx}\frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} }= 0\\\frac{2x }{a^{2} } - \frac{dy}{dx}\frac{2y }{b^{2} } = 0\\\frac{2x }{a^{2} } = \frac{dy}{dx}\frac{2y }{b^{2} } \\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{b^{2}x }{a^{2}y }[/tex]

So, at (x₀, y₀)

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{b^{2} x_{0} }{a^{2} y_{0} }[/tex]

So, the equation of the tangent line is gotten from the standard equation of a line in point-slope form

So, [tex]\frac{y - y_{0} }{x - x_{0} } = \frac{b^{2} x_{0} }{a^{2} y_{0} } \\y - y_{0} = \frac{b^{2} x_{0} }{a^{2} y_{0} }(x - x_{0}) \\y = \frac{b^{2} x_{0} }{a^{2} y_{0} }(x - x_{0}) + y_{0} \\y = \frac{b^{2} x_{0}x }{a^{2} y_{0} } - \frac{b^{2} x_{0}^{2} }{a^{2} y_{0} } + y_{0}[/tex]

So, the equation of the tangent line is [tex]y = \frac{b^{2} x_{0}x }{a^{2} y_{0} } - \frac{b^{2} x_{0}^{2} }{a^{2} y_{0} } + y_{0}[/tex]
