An internal census of the salaries of animals employed by United Pets Inc. shows that the median salary for dogs is considerably lower than the median salary for cats. Further investigation shows that the median dog salary is higher than the median cat salary in every department (Accounting, Finance, Marketing, etc.) of the company. Which of the following is the most satisfactory explanation for this apparent contradiction?

a. The study is based on a small sample size, so the results are heavily affected by random sampling error.
b. Different departments tend to pay different salaries, and dogs are more likely than cats to work in higher-paying departments.
c. Different departments tend to pay different salaries, and dogs are more likely than cats to work in lower-paying departments.
d. There are many more cats than dogs employed by this company.
e. There are many more dogs than cats employed by this company.
f. There is a very small fraction of cats in each department that earns extremely high salaries compared to everyone else (for example, the chief executives).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. Different departments tend to pay different salaries, and dogs are more likely than cats to work in lower-paying departments.

Explanation:

The only explanation for difference in median results is that dogs take up jobs in both higher paying departments and lower paying departments while cats take up jobs in only higher paying departments only. In other words the median results for dogs when compared in general would be higher than that of the cats

A rope for zip lining is tied between two parallel trees. The rope is taut, forming a straight line. What is m<2?

Answers

Answer:

72°.

Consecutive interior angle

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is shown below

The consecutive interior angle theorem states that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line, the pair of interior angles formed are supplementary (that is they sum up to 180°).

Hence since the two trees are parallel and the rope forms a transversal hence they form an interior angle:

m∠2 + 72° = 180° (consecutive interior angles)

Add -72 to both sides and then simplify:

m∠2 + 72 -72 = 180 - 72

m∠2 = 108°

If the population proportion p = 0.63, what is the probability of getting correct answers on less than 60% of the questions?

Answers

Complete question:

An exam consists of 50 multiple choice questions. Based on how much you studied, for any given question, you think you have a probability of 0.63 of getting the correct answer. Consider the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of correct questions out of 50.

If the population proportion p = 0.63, what is the probability of getting correct answers on less than 60% of the questions?

Answer:

the probability of getting correct answers on less than 60% of the questions is 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of samples, n = 50

population proportion, P = 0.63

For normal distribution;

np ≤ 60     and n(1-p) ≤ 60

(50 x 0.63) ≤ 60   and   (1-0.63) ≤ 60

31.5 ≤ 60    and 22.2 ≤ 60

The condition is satisfied, then mean of the distribution is given by;

x = p =  0.63

The standard deviation is given by;

[tex]\sigma_p =\sqrt{\frac{P(1-P)}{n} }\\\\ \sigma_p =\sqrt{\frac{0.63*0.37}{50} }\\\\ \sigma_p = 0.068[/tex]

For a  correct answers on less than 60% of the questions

Upper boundary = 0.6

lower boundary = 0

Thus, the probability is given by;

P (p' < 0.6) = 0.33

Therefore, the probability of getting correct answers on less than 60% of the questions is 0.33

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Find the (a) mean. (b) median. (c) mode, and (d) midrange for the given sample data. An experiment was conducted to determine whether a deficiency of carbon dioxide in the soil affects the phenotype of peas. Listed below are the phenotype codes where 1 = smooth-yellow, 2 = smooth-green, 3 = wrinkled-yellow, and 4= wrinkled-green. Do the results make sense?

Given the phenotype code as 4, 3, 3, 1, 3, 4, 1, 1, 1, 4, 2, 3, 1, 1

a) Mean is the average of the number. It is gotten by taking of the ratio of the variables to the sample size.

Sum of variables = 4+3+3+1+3+4+1+1+1+4+2+3+1+1

Sum of variables = 32

Sample size = 14

Mean = 32/14

Mean = 2.29

The mean phenotype is 2.29

B) median is the value at the middle after rearrangement either in ascendng or descending order.

On rearranging:

1,1,1,1,1,1),2,3,(3,3,3,4,4,4

It can be seen that there are two values at the middle. To get the actual median, we will take the median of the values.

Median = 2+3/2

Median = 5/2

Median = 2.5

Hecke the median phenotype is 2.5

c) The mode is the vale that is occurring the most in the data. It can be seen from the data that 1 is the only value occurring the most (6 times), hence the phenotype mode of the data is 1.

d) Midrange = Highest value + Lowest value/2

Midrange = 1+4/2

Midrange = 5/2

Mid range = 2.5

Hence the midrange of the phenotypic code is 2.5

e) Yes, the measures of center make sense since the data is numerical. Since all our values are numerical and measurable, hence we can conclude that the measure of centres make sense

Answers

Answer:

Hello!!! Princess Sakura here ^^

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the slope:

So first it'll help to find the slope. You could do that by finding two perfect points, which in my case I chose (3,4) and (4,2). Then you tell what the rise over run is....you go down 2 and right 1 to get from (3,4) to (4,2). So the slope would be -2, since we went down it'll become a negative.

Finding the y-intercept:

Then after we found the slope we could easily make an equation and solve it for the y-intercept, but first we'll need to get a point. Let's choose (4,2). So after you got your point you will plug it into the slope formula like this....

[tex]y=mx+b\\\\\\2=-2(4)+b[/tex]

Then we solve it to get....

[tex]2=-2(4)+b\\2=-8+b\\b=10[/tex]

So the y-intercept is 10.

The football team at a high school wants to conduct a survey of student opinion. The coaches want to begin with a simple random sample of 200 students. Which of the following survey methods will produce a simple random sample?

Survey the first 200 students to arrive at school in the morning

Survey every 20th student entering the school gym until 200 students are surveyed

Number the students on the school roster. Use a table of random numbers to choose 200 students from this roster for the survey.

Use random numbers to choose 50 each of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors

Number the gym seats. Use a table of random numbers to choose seats and interview the students until 200 have been interviewed.

Answers

Answer: Number the students on the school roster. Use a table of random numbers to choose 200 students from this roster for the survey.

Step-by-step explanation:

A truly random sample would be one that gave every member of the population the same chance to be represented. This is why the method that will produce a simple random sample is one where the official school rooster is used and 200 students are selected randomly. This way every student in the school gets an equal chance of representation.

The first option is not random as it excludes students arriving after the first 200.

The second and last options will not be representative nor will it be random because it does not account for students who do not use the gym.

The fourth option limits the number of people that may be picked per class so reduces the chance of simple random selection across the school. This is stratified instead.

Arrivals at a parking lot are assumed to follow the Poisson distribution. The average arrival rate is 2.8 per minute. What is the probability that during a given minute no cars will arrive

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(x = 0) = 0.061[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Average = 2.8[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability that no car will arrive.

Since it is a Poisson distribution, the required probability is:

[tex]P(x) = \frac{e^{-m}m^x}{x!}[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = average = 2.8[/tex]

In this case;

[tex]x = 0[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(x) = \frac{e^{-m}m^x}{x!}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 0) = \frac{e^{-2.8}2.8^0}{0!}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 0) = \frac{e^{-2.8}*1}{1}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 0) = e^{-2.8}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 0) = 0.06081006262[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 0) = 0.061[/tex] --- Approximated

The table represents f(x), a function that can be used to predict the
total cost of any trip in Dominic's taxi.

Answers

Answer:

The y-intercept represents the flat fee.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept on the graph would be the point at which the line cuts across or intercepts the y-axis. At this point, the value of x (miles travelled) would be 0. The y-intercept in this case, would be the flat fee which is given as $2.

At x = 0, f(0) = 2.

The y-intercept represents the flat fee on the graph of f(x).

Consider the following information about travelers (based partly on a recent Travelocity poll): 40% check work e-mail, 30% use a cell phone to stay connected to work, 25% bring a laptop with them, 23% both check work e-mail and use a cell phone to stay connected, and 51% neither check work e-mail nor use a cell phone to stay connected nor bring a laptop. Finally, 88 out of every 100 who bring a laptop check work e-mail, and 70 out of every 100 who use a cell phone to stay connected also bring a laptop.
(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected traveler who checks work e-mail also uses a cell phone to stay connected?
(b) What is the probability that someone who brings a laptop on vacation also uses a cell phone to stay connected?
(c) If a randomly selected traveler checked work e-mail and brought a laptop, what is the probability that s/he uses a cell phone to stay connected?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

I defined the following events:

J = travellers check email

K = they use a cell phone to stay connected

M = they have a laptop alongside

P(J) = 0.40

P(K) = 0.30

P(M) = 0.25

P(J n K) = 0.23

P(J U K U M)' = 0.51

P(J|M) = 0.88

P(M|K) = 0.70

A.

We are to find probability of K|J

P(JnK)/p(J)

= 0.23/0.40

= 0.575

B.

P(K|M)

= P(KnM)/P(m)

= 0.21/0.25

= 0.84

C.

P(J U K U M) = 1 - p(J U K U M)'

= 1-0.51

= 0.49

P(JnM) = p(J|M)p(M)

=0.88x0.25

= 0.22

P(JnKnM) = 0.49-0.40-0.30-0.25+0.23+0.22+0.21

= 0.20

P(K|JnM) = P(JnKnM)/p(JnM)

= 0.20/0.22

= 0.909
