Based on information from a large insurance company, 67% of all damage liability claims are made by single people under the age of 25. A random sample of 52 claims showed that 43 were made by single people under the age of 25. Does this indicate that the insurance claims of single people under the age of 25 is higher than the national percent reported by the large insurance company? State the null and alternate hypothesis then give the test statistic and your conclusion.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We conclude that the insurance claims of single people under the age of 25 is higher than the national percent reported by the large insurance company.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that based on information from a large insurance company, 67% of all damage liability claims are made by single people under the age of 25.

A random sample of 52 claims showed that 43 were made by single people under the age of 25.

Let p = population proportion of claims made by single people

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : p [tex]\leq[/tex] 67%     {means that the insurance claims of single people under the age of 25 is smaller than or equal to the national percent reported by the large insurance company}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : p > 67%      {means that the insurance claims of single people under the age of 25 is higher than the national percent reported by the large insurance company}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test for proportions;

                          T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of claims made by single people under the age of 25 = [tex]\frac{43}{52}[/tex] = 0.83

           n = sample of claims = 52

So, the test statistics =  [tex]\frac{0.83-0.67}{\sqrt{\frac{0.67(1-0.67)}{52} } }[/tex]  

                                    =  2.454

The value of z-test statistics is 2.454.

Since in the question, we are not given the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. Now, at 0.05 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.645 for the right-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 2.454 > 1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the insurance claims of single people under the age of 25 is higher than the national percent reported by the large insurance company.

Select the correct answer. Consider the function f(x) = 3x and the function g, which is shown below. How will the graph of g differ from the graph of f? The graph of g is the graph of f shifted to the right by 3 units. The graph of g is the graph of f shifted down by 3 units. The graph of g is the graph of f shifted to the left by 3 units. The graph of g is the graph of f shifted up by 3 units.

Answers

Answer:

The graph of g is the graph of f shifted up by 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the graph of a function r with real numbers k and h.

Transformation Effect

r(x) + k shifts the graph up k units

r(x) - k shifts the graph down k units

r(x + h) shifts the graph to the left h units

r(x - h) shifts the graph to the right h units

It is given that g(x) = f(x) + 3. Therefore, the graph of g is the graph of f shifted up by 3 units.

How many games are played in a 4 team round robin tournament? (Each team

Answers

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call each team, A, B, C and D, each team has to play each other team once. Let's call each pairing between 2 teams the 2 teams' letters next to each other, e.g. AB is A playing against B. A has to play against B, C and D so we have AB, AC and AD. So we have 3 so far.

We have already counted that B is playing A but we haven't counted B playing C and D yet so we also have BC and BD. So we have 5 in total

Lastly, C needs to play D, we have already counted C playing B and C playing A so we have CD left. In total that gives 6.

Now we have already included D playing every other team so we don't include any other pairings.

In total, now every team has played every other team giving a total of 6.

Find the dimensions of a right circular cylinder of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius 7.

Answers

Answer:

The height of the right circular cylinder is 14/√3 and its radius is 7√6/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

The volume of a right circular cylinder =  πr²h

r is the radius of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

V = πr²h... 1

From the diagram, we can use Pythagoras theorem on the right angled triangle to get r². From the triangle P² = r²+(h/2)²

P is the radius of the sphere.

P = 7

7² = r²+(h/2)²

r² = 49-(h/2)²... 2

Substituting equation 2 into 1:

V = π(49-(h/2)²)h

V = π(49h-h³/4)...3

To get the height h of the cylinder, we need to differentiate the volume of the cylinder with respect to h and equate to zero. i.e dV/dh = 0 since it's the maximum volume.

dV/dh = π(49-3h²/4)

0 = π(49-3h²/4)

Dividing both sides by π

0/π = π(49-3h²/4)/π

49-3h²/4 = 0

49 = 3h²/4

3h² = 49×4

3h² = 196

h² = 196/3

h = √196/√3

h = 14/√3

To get the radius of the cylinder, we will substitute h = 14/√3 into equation 2

r² = 49-(h/2)²

r² = 49-{(14/√3)/2}²

r² = 49-{14/2√3}²

r² = 49-(7/√3)²

r² = 49 - 49/3

r² = (147-49)/3

r² = 98/3

r = √98/√3

r = √49× √2/√3

r = 7√2/√3

r = 7√2/√3 × √3/√3

r = 7√6/3

The height of the right circular cylinders is 14/√3 and its radius is 7√6/3.

Answers

Answer: d. 83

Step-by-step explanation: 59+ 24 = 83

Answer:

D. 83 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle WXY is made up of two angles, angle WXD and angle YXD.

Therefore, angle WXY will be equal to the sum of angle WXD and YXD.

So, we can add angles WXD and YXD together to find out what the measure of angle WXY is.

<WXY= <WXD + <YXD

We know that angle WXD is 24 degrees and angle YXD is 59 degrees.

<WXD= 24

<YXD= 59

<WXY= 24+59

Add 24 and 59

<WXY=83

The measure of angle WXY is 83 degrees, so choice D is correct.

The solution to the system of equations is at the point where they intercept each other.

y1 = y2

For the given equation;

y=x^2-2x and y=-2x-1

To get the where they intercept, we will equal both equations;

y=x^2-2x = -2x-1

x^2 - 2x = -2x - 1

x^2 - 2x + 2x + 1 =0

     The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]

     The random number    [tex]x = 147.81[/tex]

      The sample  size is  [tex]n = 88[/tex]

The probability that  the sample mean would be greater than [tex]P(\= X > x ) = P( \frac{ \= x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x} } > \frac{ x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x} } )[/tex]

Generally the z- score of this normal distribution is mathematically represented as

       [tex]Z = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x} }[/tex]

Now

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

substituting values

         [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{14 }{\sqrt{88} }[/tex]

         [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = 1.492[/tex]

Which implies that

         [tex]P(\= X > x ) = P( Z > \frac{ 147.81 - 149 }{ 1.492} )[/tex]

1. Suppose f(x) = x^4-2x^3+ax^2+x+3. If f(3) = 2, then what is a?

Plugging in 3 for x:

f(3)= 3^4 - 2*3^3 + a*3^2 + 3 + 3= 81 - 54 + 6 + 9a = 33 + 9a and f(3)= 2

9a+33= 29a= -31a = -31/9

2. Let f, g, and h be polynomials such that h(x) = f(x) * g(x). If the constant term of f(x) is -4 and the constant term of h(x) is 3, what is g(0)?

f(0)= -4, h(0)= 3, g(0) = ?h(x)= f(x)*g(x)g(x)= h(x)/f(x)g(0) = h(0)/f(0) = 3/-4= -3/4g(0)= -3/4

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

3. Suppose the polynomials f and g are both monic polynomials. If the sum f(x) + g(x) is also monic, what can we deduce about the degrees of f and g?

A monic polynomial is a single-variable polynomial in which the leading coefficient is equal to 1.

If the sum of monic polynomials f(x) + g(x) is also monic, then f(x) and g(x) are of different degree and their sum only change the one with the lower degree, leaving the higher degree variable unchanged.

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

4. If f(x) is a polynomial, is f(x^2) also a polynomial?

If f(x) is a polynomial of degree n, then f(x^2) is a polynomial of degree 2n

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

5. Consider the polynomial function g(x) = x^4-3x^2+9

a. What must be true of a polynomial function f(x) if f(x) and f(-x) are the same polynomial?

If f(x) and f(-x) are same polynomials, then they have even-degree variables.

b.What must be true of a polynomial function f(x) if f(x) and -f(-x) are the same polynomial?

If f(x) and -f(-x) are the same polynomials, then they have odd-degree variables.

The pair of <JKL and <LKM can be referred to as linear pairs. They are two adjacent angles that are formed from the intersecting of two lines.

Question 2:

Given that <KLM = x°

<KML = 50°

<JKL = (2x - 15)°

According to the exterior angle theorem, exterior ∠ JKL = <KLM + KML.

2x - 15 = x + 50

Solve for x

2x - x = 15 + 50

x = 65

Therefore, <KLM = 65°

QUESTION 3:

<JKL = 2x - 15

Plug in the value of x

<JKL = 2(65) - 15

= 130 - 15

<JKL = 115°

0.3% of a country has a certain disease. The test for the disease has a sensitivity of 92% (i.e., of those we know have the disease, the test comes back positive 92% of the time.) It has a specificity of 96% (i.e., of those who do NOT have the disease, the test comes back negative 96% of the time.) Determine the ACCURACY of this test (round to 5 decimals) Remember, ACCURACY is correct values (i.e. true positives true negatives)

Answers

Answer:

0.95988 (Accuracy of the test )

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the accuracy of this test we have to list out the given values

Prevalence rate of the disease = 0.3% = 0.003

sensitivity rate of the disease = 92% = 0.92

specificity rate for the test = 96% = 0.96

The accuracy of the test can be found using this equation

Accuracy = sensitivity * prevalence + specificity ( 1 - prevalence )

                = 0.92 * 0.003 + 0.96 ( 1 - 0.003 )

                = 0.00276 + 0.95712

                = 0.95988

Question:

The given line passes through the points (-4, -3) and (4, 1).

What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (-4, 3)?

a) y - 3 = -2(x + 4)

b) y - 3= - (x + 4)

c) y - 3 = (x + 4)

d) y - 3 = 2(x + 4)

Answer:

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (-4, 3) is

a) y - 3 = -2(x +4)

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we will find the slope of the given line.

We are given that the line passes through the points (-4, -3) and (4, 1)

[tex](x_1, y_1) = (-4,-3) \\\\(x_2, y_2) = (4,1) \\\\[/tex]

The slope of the equation is given by

[tex]$ m_1 = \frac{y_2 - y_1 }{x_2 - x_1} $[/tex]

[tex]m_1 = \frac{1 -(-3) }{4 -(-4)} \\\\m_1 = \frac{1 + 3 }{4 + 4} \\\\m_1 = \frac{4 }{8} \\\\m_1 = \frac{1 }{2} \\\\[/tex]

Recall that the slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

[tex]$ m_2 = - \frac{1}{m_1} $[/tex]

So the slope of the other line is

[tex]m_2 = - 2[/tex]

Now we can find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (-4, 3)

The point-slope form is given by,

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x -x_1)[/tex]

Substitute the value of slope and the given point

[tex]y - 3 = -2(x -(-4) \\\\y - 3 = -2(x +4)[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is (a)

y - 3 = -2(x + 4)

The equation of the line in point-slope form is y - 3 = -2(x + 4)

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

Where y,x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the y intercept.

The line passes through the point (-4, -3) and (4, 1). Hence:

Slope = (1 - (-3)) / (4 - (-4)) = 1/2

The slope of the line perpendicular to this line is -2 (-2 *  1/2 = -1).

The line passes through (-4, 3), hence:

y - 3 = -2(x - (-4))

y - 3 = -2(x + 4)

The equation of the line in point-slope form is y - 3 = -2(x + 4)

What is reducing factor?

Reduction Factor means the percentage obtained by dividing the Net Worth Shortfall Amount by the Required Net Worth Amount.

According to the question

A contractor originally estimated the total cost of a job including labor and materials at $ 57,000.

let  Labor cost = l

     Material cost = m

Now ,

l + m = 57000 ----------(1)

A new estimate of $ 48,000 is made, reducing the labor cost by 15% and the material cost by 18%.

i.e,

[tex]\frac{(100-15)}{100} l + \frac{(100-18)}{100} m = 48000[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(85)}{100} l + \frac{(82)}{100} m = 48000[/tex]

0.85l + 0.82m = 48000  --------------------------------(2)

multiplying equation (1) from 0.85

0.85l + 0.85m = 48450   -------------------------------(3)

subtracting equation (1) and (3)

0.85l + 0.85m = 48450

-0.85l -0.82m = -48000

0.03m=450

m = 15000 (old cost )

new cost of m is = 0.82 * 15000 =12,300

putting value of m in equation (1)

l + m = 57000

l + 15000 = 57000

l = 42000   (old cost)

new cost of l is = 0.85l  = 0.85*42000

new cost of l is =  35,700

Hence, The new cost of labor is 35,700 and new cost of material is 12,300 .
