Consider this quote: "In a recent survey, 65 out of 100 consumers reported that they preferred plastic bags instead of paper bags for their groceries. If there is no difference in the proportions who prefer each type in the population, the chance of such extreme results in a sample of this size is about .03. Because .03 is less than .05, we can conclude that there is a statistically significant difference in preference." Give a numerical value for each of the following.

a. The p-value.
b. The level of significance, α.
c. The sample proportion.
d. The sample size.
e. The null value.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The p value (probability of obtaining results as extreme the z score if null is true) is usually the value derived to make a conclusion and in this case the p value is 0.03

The level of significance is the value usually compared with the p value which is 0.05

The sample promotion is 65 out of 100 = 65/100 = 0.65

The sample size is the total number of consumers which is 100

The null value is usually the default value. The null value would assume that there is no difference in the proportions who prefer each type in the population. There are two preferences: 100/2 = 50- 0.5 for each preference.

n ant needs to travel along a 20cm × 20cm cube to get from point A to point B. What is the shortest path he can take, and how long will it be (in cm)?

Answers

Answer:

48.28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shape is a cube of side 20cm, then all the side of the cube will be 20cm since all the side of a cube are all equal.

The shortest path the ant can be take is to first travel along the diagonal of the square from point A to the other edge on the front face and then move to point B on its adjacent side on a straight line.

To get the total distance he will take, we will first calcuate the value of the diagonal distance of the square face using pythagoras theorem as shown.

hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²

The opposite = adjacent = 20cm

The hypotenuse is the length of the diagonal that we need.

hyp² = 20²+20²

hyp² = 400+400

hyp² = 800

hyp = √800

hyp = 28.28 cm

The length of the diagonal is 28.28 cm.

Afterwards, the ant will move 20cm to point B from the stopping point.

Total distance will be 28.28 + 20 = 48.28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

At noon a passenger train leaves the Dupont Railway station and travels due east for 2 hours. At 12:45 pm the same day a second passenger train leaves the same railway station and travels due west for 1 hour and 15 minutes at a speed 10 kilometers per hour slower than the first passenger train. At 2pm the two trains were 215 kilometers apart. How fast had each train been traveling

Answers

Answer:

The speed of the first train is 70 km/hr

The speed of the second train is 60 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first train:

Travel time = 2 hours

The speed = ?

we designate the speed as V

For the second train:

The travel time = 1 hr 15 min = 1.25 hrs (15 minutes = 15/60 hrs)

speed = 10 km/hr slower than that of the first train, we can then say

the speed = V - 10

The total distance traveled by both trains in the opposite direction of one another is 215 km

we can put this problem into an equation involving the distance covered by the trains.

we know that distance = speed x time

the distance traveled by the first train will be

==> 2 hrs x V = 2V

the distance traveled by the second train will be

==> 1.25 hrs x (V - 10) = 1.25(V - 10)

Equating the above distances to the total distance between the trains, we'll have

2V + 1.25(V - 10) = 215

2V + 1.25V - 12.5 = 215

3.25V = 215 + 12.5

3.25V = 227.5

V = 227.5/3.25 = 70 km/hr     this is the speed of the first train

Recall that the speed of the second train is 10 km/hr slower, therefore

speed of the second train = 70 - 10 = 60 km/hr

The speed of the trains are 70km/hr and 60km/hr respectively.

The distance of the first train will be represented by: = 2 × D = 2D

The distance of the second train will be represented by: = 1.25 × (D - 10) = 1.25(D - 10).

Based on the information given in the question, the equation to solve the question will be:

2D + 1.25(D - 10) = 215

Collect like terms

2D + 1.25D - 12.5 = 215

3.25D = 215 + 12.5

3.25D = 227.5

D = 227.5/3.25

D = 70km/hour

The speed of the second train will be:

= 70 - 10 = 60km per hour.

What is x in this Math problem 2/3x=27

Answers

Answer: x = 40.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply divide 27/(2/3) to get 40.5

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

x= 40.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find out what x is. Therefore, we must get x by itself on one side of the equation.

2/3x= 27

2/3 and x are being multiplied. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 2/3.

2/3x / 2/3 = 27/ 2/3

When dividing by a fraction, you can also multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction.

To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator (top number) and denominator( bottom number)

2/3 —> 3/2

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2

2/3x *3/2 = 27*3/2

x= 27*3/2

x= 27/1*3/2

x= (27*3)/(1*2)

x= 81/2

x= 40.5

Which confidence level will yield the interval that we are most confident in containing the actual value of the population parameter?
a. 99.2%
b. 99.5%
c. Our confidence in whether an interval actually contains the parameter is not affected by the choice of confidence level.
d. 99.9%

Answers

Answer:

The confidence level that will yield the interval that we are most confident in containing the actual value of the population parameter is (d) 99.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

the confidence level can be explained simply as a range of values that are well defined and  that  they contain a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within the confidence level.

for example when we compare a 99.2% confidence level and 99.9% confidence level, when we have a narrow confidence interval 99.2 (say) this implies that there is a smaller chance of obtaining an observation within that interval, so therefore, our accuracy is higher. Also a 99.2% confidence interval is narrower than a 99.9% confidence interval which is wider. The 99.9% confidence interval is more accurate than the 99.2%.

so that is why we concluded that the most confidence level is 99.9%.

D. L(x) = -200x + 2,400; L(10) = 400, This represents the amount Joey still owes his grandfather after 10 months.

Answers

The correct question is;

Joey borrows $2400 from his grandfather and pays the money back in monthly payments of $200.

a. Write a linear function that represents the remaining money owed L(x) after x months.

b. Evaluate L(10) and interpret the meaning in the context of this problem.

A) L(x) = 200x + 2400; L(10) = 4400, This represents the amount Joey still owes his

grandfather after 10 months.

B) L(x) = -200x + 2400; L(10) = 400, This represents the amount Joey has paid his

grandfather after 10 months.

C) L(x) = 200x + 2400; L(10) = 4400, This represents the amount Joey has paid his

grandfather after 10 months.

D) L(x) = -200x + 2400; L(10) = 400, This represents the amount Joey still owes his

grandfather after 10 months.

Answer:

A) L(x) = 2400 - 200x

B) Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that Joey borrowed 2400.

Now he pays back in installments of 200 every month.

Thus for x number of months he would have paid 200x.

Thus,the linear function that represents the remaining money owed is;

L(x) = 2400 - 200x

B) L(10) = 2400 - (200 * 10)

L(10) = 2400 - 2000

L(10) = 400

Thus, after 10 months, Joey is owing 400.

So, looking at the given options, the correct one is option D.

Find the Perimeter of the polygon if angle B= angle D Please Help Trying to graduate.

Answers

Answer:

P = 60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we will use the property of the tangents drawn from a point to a circle.

"Length of tangents drawn from a point to a circle are equal in measure."

By this property,

Therefore, BG ≅ FB ≅ 7.5 cm

AG ≅ AH ≅ 6.5 cm

CF ≅ EC ≅ 8.5 cm

Since m∠B ≅ m∠D

Therefore, length of tangents FB ≅ GB ≅ DE ≅ DH ≅ 7.5 cm

Since, Perimeter of ABCD = AB + BC + CD + DA

AB = 7.5 + 6.5 = 14 cm

BC = 7.5 + 8.5 = 16 cm

CD = 8.5 + 7.5 = 16 cm

DA = 7.5 + 6.5 = 14 cm

Now Perimeter = 16 + 16 + 14 + 14 = 60 cm

Therefore, P = 60 cm will be the answer.

Answers

Answer:

It is a weak negative correlation, and it is likely causal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation coefficient can be said to be a statistical value that shows the relationship between two variables.

Here, the correlation coefficient is 0.26 which means that the magnitude of correlation is low and it causes a weak correlation.

Here, since one variable increases as the other variable decreases, the correlation is said to be negative and weak. We can see that the more a player golf's, the lower the number to required strokes. This would result in a negative slope.

Therefore, It is a weak negative correlation, and it is likely

causal.

Answers

Answer:

b. 0.585

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Bayes' theorem:

[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(B|A)*P(A)}{P(B)}[/tex]

Let A = Person is infected, and B = Person tested positive. Then:

P(B|A) = 93.9%

P(A) = 5.8%

P(B) = P(infected and positive) + P(not infected and positive)

[tex]P(B) = 0.058*0.939+(1-0.058)*0.041\\P(B)=0.09308[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a person has the disease given that the test result is positive, P(A|B), is:

Degree Of Length Degree Of Width Degree Of Height Degree Of Volume

Answers

Answer: length = 1, width = 1, height = 3, volume = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Degree is the biggest exponent for the variables in the expression

Length = 4x - 1. The exponent for x is 1 --> degree = 1

Width = x          The exponent for x is 1  --> degree = 1

Height = x³       The exponent for x³ is 3  --> degree = 3

Volume = 4x⁵ - x⁴.  The biggest exponent for x is 5  --> degree = 5

The towers of a suspension bridge are 450 feet apart and 150 feet high from the roadway. Cables are at a height of 25 feet above the roadway, midway between the towers, but gradually get taller toward each end. Assume the x-axis is the roadway and the y-axis is the center of the bridge, write an equation for the parabola. What is the height of the cable at a point 50 feet from one of the towers? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/405 x² + 25

101 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of the parabola is (0, 25).

The equation of the parabola is:

y − 25 = a (x − 0)²

y = ax² + 25

Two points on the parabola are (-225, 150) and (225, 150).

Plugging in one of those points:

150 = a (225)² + 25

125 = 50625 a

a = 1/405

The equation is therefore:

y = 1/405 x² + 25

50 feet from a tower is 175 feet from the center.

y = 1/405 (175)² + 25

y ≈ 101

It may contain errors. Why Do Leaves Change Color in the Fall? The Splendor of Fall Leaves (1) As the days get cooler, trees and shrubs put on an impressive fashion show in all the shades of red, yellow, purple, and browns. (2) Leaves that were once green all summer long start to change colors and fall becomes the time when trees show off these vibrant colored leaves. (3) Leaves are more than just a fashion statement. (4) Leaves are nature's food factories. (5) Plants take water from the ground through their roots. (6) They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. (7) Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose, which is a kind of sugar. (8) Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growth. (9) The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is a called photosynthesis. (10) This process means to "put together with light." (11) A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. (12) And, chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color. Where do Autumn Colors Come From? (13) Some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. (14) There are various pigments of colors, including yellow pigments known as xanthophylls and the orange pigments called carotenoids. (15) Red and purple pigments come from anthocyanins, which are manufactured from the sugars that are trapped in the leaf. (16) These fall colors are actually always present in the leaves throughout the growing season, but only show up in the fall. (17) When all the color pigments are gone during extreme weather conditions, the only pigment that remains are tannins, which are brown. What Makes Leave Change Color? (18) Trees are sensitive to these changes in their environment, so as the season begins to change, the trees "know" to start getting ready for winter. (19) Leaves are green in the spring and summer because that is when they are making the most amounts of chlorophyll. (20) But, as summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. (21) As a result, the trees will rest and live off the food they stored during the warmer months. (22) They begin to shut down their food-making factories and the bright green fades away from the leaves, revealing the reds, oranges, and yellows. Andie recently failed a math test.
