An airline company advertises that 100% of their flights are on time after checking 5 flights from yesterday and finding that these 5 were on time a) What is population of interest? b) What is the sample? c) Was this a representative sample? Explain. d) How should the company determine the percentage of their flights that are on time?

Answers

Answer 1

a) The population is all of the flights belonging to the particular airline. It's not all flights in general because the airline does not have control over a rival company's flight schedule.

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

b) The sample is the 5 airlines the company selected. Ideally the sample should represent the population as much as possible. The larger the sample, the more representative the sample is.

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

c) No, the sample is likely not representative because one day of flight does not represent the entire lifetime of all flights done so far for that company. This particular day could have been a very good day with good weather, which may explain why the 5 flights were all on time.

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

d) It would be better for the company to select the days at random and sample all of the flights for those particular days chosen. This is a cluster sample. Each cluster is a day. Also, I think more flights should be sampled. Five flights does not seem like enough.

plz plz help me i wnt answer with full process pls help me plz plz pls.​

Answers

Answer:   54

==============================================

Work Shown:

T = tens digit

U = units digit (aka ones digit)

A number like 27 is really 20+7 = 2*10 + 7*1 = 10*2 + 1*7. We have 2 in the tens digit and 7 in the units digit. So 27 can be written in the form 10T + U where T = 2 and U = 7. Reversing the digits gives 72, so T = 7 and U = 2 now. Clearly the difference between the digits 7 and 2 is not 1, so 27 or 72 is not the answer (as it's just an example).

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

Let T be larger than U. This doesn't work if T = U.

Because T is larger, saying "The difference between the digits is 1" means T - U = 1. We can isolate T to get T = U+1. We'll use this later.

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

If T > U, then the original number 10T+U reverses to the new number 10U+T and it becomes smaller. We are told that it becomes 5/6 of what it used to be.

So,

new number = (5/6)*(old number)

10U + T = (5/6)(10T + U)

6(10U + T) = 5(10T + U)

60U + 6T = 50T + 5U

60U + 6(U+1) = 50(U+1) + 5U ... plug in T = U+1

60U + 6U + 6 = 50U + 50 + 5U

66U + 6 = 55U + 50

66U - 55U = 50-6

11U = 44

U = 44/11

U = 4 is the units digit of the original number

T = U+1

T = 4+1

T = 5 is the tens digit of the original number

The original number is therefore 10T + U = 10*5+4 = 54.

We see the difference in their digits is T-U = 5-4 = 1

The reverse of 54 is 45. The number 45 is 5/6 of 54

Answers

Answer:

Selling price =  $210

percentage increase = 5 %

Increased amount = 5% of 210

                              = 0.05 * 210

                               = $ 10.5

Solve the system of equations -8y+9x = -5; 8y+7x = -75

Answers

Answer:

x = -5

y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-8y+9x = -5; 8y+7x = -75

Add the two equations together to eliminate y

-8y+9x = -5

8y+7x = -75

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

0y + 16x = -80

Divide each side by 16

16x/16 = -80/16

x = -5

Now find y

8y+7x = -75

8y+7(-5) = -75

8y-35 = -75

Add 35 to each side

8y = -40

Divide by 8

8y/8 = -40/8

y = -5

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{x=-5}\\ \boxed{y=-5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

-8y + 9x = -5

8y + 7x = -75

Add the equations (eliminating the y-variable).

16x = -80

Divide both sides by 16.

[tex]\frac{16x}{16}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-80}{16}[/tex]

x = -5

Plug x as -5 in the first equation to find y.

-8y + 9(-5) = -5

-8y +-45 = -5

Add 40 to both sides.

-8y = 40

Divide both sides by -8.

[tex]\frac{-8y}{-8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{40}{-8}[/tex]

y = -5

What is the question

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the least number of colors you need to correct color in the sections of these pictures so that no two touching sections are the same color?

Answers

You would assume that in this figure, the number of colored sections with which are not colored with respect to a " touching " colored section, would be half of the total colored sections. However that is not the case, the sections are not alternating as they still meet at a common point. After all, it notes no two touching sections, not adjacent sections. Their is no equation to calculate this requirement with respect to the total number of sections.

Let's say that we take one triangle as the starting. This triangle will be the start of a chain of other triangles that have no two touching sections, specifically 7 triangles. If a square were to be this starting shape, there are 5 shapes that have no touching sections, 3 being a square, the other two triangles. This is presumably a lower value as a square occupies two times as much space, but it also depends on the positioning. Therefore, the least number of colored sections you can color in the sections meeting the given requirement, is 5 sections for this first figure.

Respectively the solution for this second figure is 5 sections as well.

They are all arithmetic progressions (AP) with a common difference, i.e. all differences of one term from the subsequent term are identical.

The general formula is

n = the term number

T(n) = nth term (considering the first term to be the zeroth term.

D = common difference

a) T(0) = 18035, D = 35, so formula is T(n) = 18035 + 35n

The average of three numbers is 25. two of the numbers are 45 and 16. What is third one.

Answers

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached a picture and I hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤

Answer:

The third number is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average of 3 numbers add the three numbers and divide by 3

Let x be the third number

( 45+16+x) /3 = 25

Multiply each side by 3

( 45+16+x) /3 *3 = 25*3

( 45+16+x) = 75

Combine like terms

61+x = 75

Subtract 61 from each side

61+x-61 = 75-61

x = 14

Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 79 and a standard deviation of 8.4. Find the numerical limits for a B grade. Round your answers to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answer:  The numerical limits for grade B is 81 and 92

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

mean Ж = 79

Standard deviation S = 8.4

B: Scores below the top 6% and above the bottom 59%

To find the numerical value for Grade B

Below the top bottom 6% ( 0.06) is

p ( X < Ж ) = 1 - 0.06

p ( X < Ж ) = 0.94

therefore

P( (X - ц)/S < (X - Ж) / S)) = 0.94

(X - 79) / 8.4 = 1.5548 ( from normal distribution table )

X - 79 = 13.0603

X = 13.0603 + 79

X = 92.06 ≈ 92 ( nearest whole number)

Above bottom 59% ( 0.59) is

p ( X < Ж ) = 0.59

therefore

P( (X - ц)/S < (X - Ж) / S)) = 0.59

(X - 79) / 8.4 = 0.2275 ( from normal distribution table )

X - 79 = 1.9114

X = 1.9114 + 79

X = 80.91 ≈ 81 ( nearest whole number)

So the numerical limits for grade B is 81 and 92

Please find attached the two way frequency table formatted on Excel spreadsheet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The total number of classes Romain took in high school = 32

The number of classes he studied for but did not pass = 3

The total number of classes Romain passed = 27

The number of classes Romain studied for = 26

Therefore;

The number of classes Romain studied for and passed = 26 - 3 = 23

The total number of classes Romain failed = 32 - 27 = 5

The total number of classes Romain passed but did not study for = 27 - (26 - 3) = 4

The number of classes Romain did not study for and failed = 5 - 3 = 2

The total number of classes Romain did not study for =  4 + 2 = 6

What is the line of best fit?

A mathematical notion called the line of the best fit connects points spread throughout a graph. It's a type of linear regression that uses scatter data to figure out the best way to define the dots' relationship.

[tex]\rm m = \dfrac{n\sum xy-\sum x \sum y}{n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2}\\\\\\\\\rm c = \dfrac{\sum y -m \sum x}{n}[/tex]

We have a line of best fits:

y = 0.755x + 11.339

Plug x = 90

y =0.755(90) + 11.339

y = 67.95 + 11.339

y = 79.28 ≈ 79

Thus, the 79 customers are predicted to use a card to pay on a day when 90 customers pay by cash option (B) is correct.
