that 45% of adult Americans believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor. (a) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X, the number of adults who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor based on a random sample of 500 adult Americans. (b) Interpret the mean. (c) Would it be unusual to identify 240 adult Americans who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor based on a random sample of 500 adult Americans
Answer:
a) The mean is 225 and the standard deviation is 11.12.
b) It means that in samples of 500 adult Americans, the number of those who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor is expected to be around 225.
c) No, since 240 is less than 2.5 standard deviations from the mean.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each adult American, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they believe the overall state of moral values in the US is poor, or they do not. The adults are independent of other adults. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
In the binomial distribution, a value is considered to be unusual if it is more than 2.5 standard deviations from the mean.
45% of adult Americans believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor.
This means that [tex]p = 0.45[/tex]
(a) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X, the number of adults who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor based on a random sample of 500 adult Americans.
Sample of 500 means that [tex]n = 500[/tex]
Mean:
[tex]E(X) = np = 500*0.45 = 225[/tex]
Standard deviation:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{500*0.45*0.55} = 11.12[/tex]
The mean is 225 and the standard deviation is 11.12.
(b) Interpret the mean.
It means that in samples of 500 adult Americans, the number of those who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor is expected to be around 225.
(c) Would it be unusual to identify 240 adult Americans who believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor based on a random sample of 500 adult Americans
2.5 standard deviations above the mean is:
225 + 2.5*11.12 = 252.8
So 253 or more would be unusual, 240 no.

A leaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 12 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.5 kg/m. Initially the bucket contains 36 kg of water, but the water leaks at a constant rate and finishes draining just as the bucket reaches the 12-m level. Find the work done. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g.) Show how to approximate the required work by a Riemann sum. (Let x be the height in meters above the ground. Enter xi* as xi.)
Answer:
The work done is 3645.6 J or 3.6 kJ
Step-by-step explanation:
M1 = (0.5 kg/m)(12 - x m) = (6 - 0.5x) kg
At the height of x meters (0<=x<=12), the mass of the rope is,
M2 = (36kg/12m)(12 - x m) = (36 - 3x m) kg
At the height of x meters (0<=x<=12), the mass of the water is,
M3 = 10 kg
The mass of the bucket is 10 kg
Then, Total mass M is,
M = M1 + M2 + M3 = (6 - 0.5x) + (36 - 3x) + 10 = (52 - 3.5x) kg
From Force F = mass m * acceleration due to gravity g
Force = mass x gravity
F = 9.8(52 - 3.5x) Newtons
To get the work done W,
Follow the attached file,
The work done is 3645.6 J or 3.6 kJ

Just multiple everything by 8
Hope this helps (:
Answer:
8g+16
Step-by-step explanation:
I guess it can be kind of confusing when the number outside of the parentheses is on the right side of the equation? I don't know lol, but the same rules apply.
If it helps, rewrite it as: (2+g)8 --> 8(2+g)
Now multiply: (8*2)+(8*g)
Simplify: 16+8g or 8g+16 (however you want to write it)

question 1: What is the coefficient of the third term of the trinomial? (In other words, what is C?)
(2x + 3)(4x − 1) = 8x^2 +10x − C
Question 2: What is the coefficient of the second term of the polynomial? (In other words, what is B?)
(x + 2)(2x^2 + x − 1) = 2x^3 + Bx^2 + x − 2
question 3: What is the coefficient of the third term of the polynomial? (In other words, what is C?)
(x + 2)(x^2 −3x − 2) = x^3 −x^2 −Cx − 4
The value of C is -3 and the value of B is 5
ExpansionGiven the expression
(2x + 3)(4x − 1)
On expansion, ww will have:
(2x + 3)(4x − 1) = 8x^2 - 2x + 12x - 3
(2x + 3)(4x − 1) = 8x^2 + 10x - 3
Hence the value of C is -3
For the expression (x + 2)(2x^2 + x − 1)
Expnd
(x + 2)(2x^2 + x − 1) = 2x^3 + x^2 - x + 4x^2 + 2x - 2
(x + 2)(2x^2 + x − 1) = 2x^3+ 5x^2 +x - 2
Hence the value of B is 5

The value of a certain stock has decrease 5% per day for the past 10 days. The initial price of the stock was $30 per share. Which equation describes the value of the share price of the stock as a function of n the number of days elapsed during the 10 days period?
Your answer is:
V(n) = 30(0.95)^n
Why?
Well here is why!
Rate of decrease = 5%
Period, n = 10 days
Initial stock price = $30
Value of share price as a function of n:
Value, V(n)
Initial price = A
V(n) = Initial price(1 - rate)^n
V(n) = 30(1 - 0.05)^n
V(n) = 30(0.95)^n

A tech company bought a number of computers for its employees: 66 costing \$1600$1600 each, 44 costing \$1200$1200 each, and yy costing \$900$900 each, where yy is a positive odd integer. If the median price for all the computers purchased by the company was \$1200,$1200, what is the greatest possible value of yy
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
A tech company bought a number of computers for its employees: 6 costing $1600 each, 4 costing $1200 each, and y costing $900 each, where y is a positive odd integer. what is the greatest possible value of y
Solution:
The median of a group of numbers is the middle number when the group of numbers have been arranged either in ascending of descending other. The median of an even group of numbers is the average of the two most middle most numbers while the median of an odd group of numbers is the middle number.
Since there are 6 computers costing $1600, 4 computers costing $1200 each and y computers costing $900 each. Since y is odd, hence y + 6 + 4 would be odd and the median would be the middle number.
Given that the median price = $1200, this means that the middle of the group of numbers is $1200
900, 900, ..., 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600
Since y is odd, for the median price to be $1200, y has to be 3 or 5.
If y = 3:
900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600
median = $1200
If y = 5:
900, 900, 900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600
Median = $1200
Therefore the greatest possible value of y is 5
By knowing that the median must be $1,200, we will see that the greatest possible value of y is y = 9.
We know that the company bought:
6 computers costing $1,6004 computers costing $1,200y computers costing $900We know that y is a positive odd number.
We also know that the median is $1200, now we want to get the maximum value of y such that the median is $1200. (Remember that the median is the value of the middle element of the set).
Then we will have the distribution:
{ y elements, $1200, the other 3 $1200 computers plus the 6 $1600 computers}
Notice that y (the number of elements at the left of the median) must be equal to the number at the right of the median.
At the right of the median, we have a total of 9 computers, then y must be equal to 9.
The greatest possible value of y is 9.

Shoes cost $20 a pair and boots cost $60 a pair. Arlene and Jerry spent $8000 and bought 3 times as many boots as shoes. How many pairs of each did they buy?
Answer:
They bought 40 shoes and 120 boots.
Step-by-step explanation:
So from the question itself we can make the following equation.
Let "x" be the number of shoes they bought, then...
20(x) + 60(3x) = 8000
20x + 180x = 8000
200x = 8000
x = 8000 / 200
x = 40
From here we know that..
# of shoes they bought = x = 40
# of boots they bough = 3x = (3)(40) = 120

Answer:
c. Matched-Pair Design
Step-by-step explanation:
The experimental research study showcased above exhibits two different treatments groups ; the new cholesterol lowering drug and the placebo. The allocation of observations or subjects into groups was based on pair selection which is based on whether subjects picked an even or odd number. Subjects who picked the odd are moved to the treatment group of the new drug while those who picked an even number are referred to the placebo treatment group. This type of research design which involves two pairs of treatment and allotment pattern is called a matched pair research design
