Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a sample of seven admission test scores for a professional school listed 11.3, 10.6, 11.7, 9.7, 11.7, 9.5 and 11.7, the mean of the numbers is the sum total of the values divided by the total number of admission test score. The mean is as calculated below.

Mean = {11.3 + 10.6 + 11.7 + 9.7 + 11.7 + 9.5 + 11.7}/7

Mean = 76.2/7

Mean = 10.9

The mean score is 10.9 to 1 decimal place.

Note that the mean does not represent the centre of the data. It represents the average value of the datas. The mean does not represent the center because it is not a data value. The mean will give a value that is different from the values given in the data.

b) The median score is the score in the centre after re-arrangement. The arrangement can either be ascending or descending order. On re-arranging in ascending order;

9.5, 9.7, 10.6, (11.3), 11.7, 11.7, 11.7

After rearranging, it can be seen that the number at the centre of the data is 11.3, hence the median score is 11.3.

The median represents the center

c) The mode is the scores that occurs most. According to the data given, the score that occur most is 11.7. The score occurs the highest number of times (3 times) compare to other scores in the data. Hence, the modal score is 11.7.

The mode(s) does (do) not represent the center because it (one) is the largest data value.

Answers

Answer:

  a) -900 L/min

  b) 63000 L

  c) v = -900t +63000

  d) 7200 L

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You are given two points on the curve of volume vs. time:

  (t, v) = (20, 45000) and (70, 0)

The rate of change is ...

  Δv/Δt = (0 -45000)/(70 -20) = -45000/50 = -900 . . . . liters per minute

__

b) In the first 20 minutes, the change in volume was ...

  (20 min)(-900 L/min) = -18000 L

So, the initial volume was ...

  initial volume -18000 = 45000

  initial volume = 63,000 . . . . liters

__

c) Since we have the slope and the intercept, we can write the equation in slope-intercept form:

  v = -900t +63000

__

d) Put the number in the equation and do the arithmetic.

When t=62, the amount remaining is ...

  v = -900(62) +63000 = -55800 +63000 = 7200

7200 L remain after 62 minutes.

find the value of a. A: 15, B: 19

Answers

Answer:

A: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are opposite to each other.

Vertically opposite angles are equal in size.

Put up an equation and solve for a.

6a + 10 = 3a + 55

Subtract 3a and 10 on both sides.

6a - 3a = 55 - 10

Combining like terms.

3a = 45

Divide both sides by 3.

a = 45/3

a = 15

The value of a is 15.

Answer:

a = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 6a + 10 = 3a + 55 (Vertically Opposite Angles are congruent)

Combining like terms

=> 6a - 3a = 55 - 10

=> 3a = 45

Dividing both sides by 3

Answer:

[tex]( \frac{5}{11} \:, - \frac{3}{11} )[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - y = 3

4x + 3y = 1

Solve the equation for y

y = -3 + 6x

4x + 3y = 1

Substitute the given value of y into the equation

4x + 3y = 1

plug the value

[tex]4x + 3( - 3 + 6x) = 1[/tex]

Distribute 3 through the parentheses

[tex]4x - 9 + 18x = 1[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]22x - 9 = 1[/tex]

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

[tex]22x = 1 + 9[/tex]

Calculate the sum

[tex]22x = 10[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 22

[tex] \frac{22x}{22} = \frac{10}{22} [/tex]

Calculate

[tex]x = \frac{5}{11} [/tex]

Now, substitute the given value of x into the equation

y = -3 + 6x

[tex]y = - 3 + 6 \times \frac{5}{11} [/tex]

Solve the equation for y

[tex]y = - \frac{3}{11} [/tex]

The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair ( x , y )

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

we can see that

[tex]x^2-10x = x^2-2*5x[/tex]

is the beginning of

[tex]x^2-2*5x+5^2=(x-5)^2[/tex]

so we must add 5*5=25 to both sides of the equation to make the left side a perfect square trinomial

hope this helps

Answer:

25.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value that will make the left side a perfect-square trinomial, you need to find (b/2)^2. In this case, b = -10.

(-10 / 2)^2

= (-5)^2

= (-5) * (-5)

= 25

Once you add 25 to both sides, the left side becomes x^2 - 10x + 25, which is equal to (x - 5)^2.

Gabriella drives her car 360 miles and averages a certain speed, If the average speed had been 6 mph less, she could have traveled only 330 miles in the same length of time. What is her average speed?

Answers

Answer:

72mile/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be distance in mile

Let r be average rate in mile/hr

Let t be time in hr

d = r × t

t = d/r

360/r = t ........1

Also

The question stated that the average speed was 6 less to travel a distance of 330mile at the same time.

Since the average speed is r, hence 6 less that r = r-6 at the same time

Therefore

330/r-6 = same time ( t ) .......2

Equate 1 and 2

360/r = 330/r-6

Cross multiply

360(r-6) = 330(r)

360r - 360×6 = 330r

360r - 2160 = 330r

Collecting like terms

- 2160 = 330r - 360r

- 2160 = - 30r

Divide both sides by - 30

- 2160/ - 30 = - 30r/ - 30

r = 72mile/hr

Hence the average speed is 72mile/hr

Celcius temperature is= 428.3333°

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert for farenheit to celcius

Celcius=( farenheit -32)*5/9

To calculate a temperature from celcius to farenheit we multiply by 9/5 and then add 32.

Let x be the celcius temperature

X(9/5) + 32 = 803°

X(9/5) = 803-32

ii. what must an adult male weigh in order to be among the heaviest 10% of the population?

Thank you in advance!​

Answers

Answer:

I. 60%

II. 75.4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the z-scores and the standard normal distribution to answer this questions.

We have a normal distribution with mean 69 kg and variance 25 kg^2 (therefore, standard deviation of 5 kg).

I. What percentage of adult male in Boston weigh more than 72 kg?

We calculate the z-score for 72 kg and then calculate the associated probability:

[tex]z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{72-69}{5}=\dfrac{3}{5}=0.6\\\\\\P(X>72)=P(z>0.6)=0.274[/tex]

II.  What must an adult male weigh in order to be among the heaviest 10% of the population?

We have to calculate tha z-score that satisfies:

[tex]P(z>z^*)=0.1[/tex]

This happens for z=1.28 (see attachment).

Then, we can calculate the weight using this transformation:

[tex]X=\mu+z^*\cdot\sigma=69+1.28\cdot 5=69+6.4=75.4[/tex]

.If you add 5 to both the numerator and the denominator of a fraction, you obtain 2/3; however, if '
you subtract 5 from both the numerator and the denominator of the same fraction, you obtain 1/4. For what fraction is this true?

Answers

Answer:

The fraction that this is true for = 7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question

Let the numerator be represented by a

Let the denominator be represented by b

If you add 5 to both the numerator and the denominator of a fraction, you obtain 2/3

This means:

a + 5/b + 5 = 2/3

Cross Multiply

3(a + 5) = 2(b + 5)

3a + 15 = 2b + 10

Collect like terms

3a - 2b = 10 - 15

3a - 2b = -5..........Equation 1

If you subtract 5 from both the numerator and the denominator of the same fraction, you obtain 1/4

This means:

a - 5/b - 5 = 1/4

Cross Multiply

4(a - 5) = 1(b - 5)

4a - 20 = b - 5

Collect like terms

4a - b = 20 - 5

4a - b = 15..........Equation 2

b = 4a - 15

3a - 2b = -5..........Equation 1

4a - b = 15..........Equation 2

Substitute 4a - 15 for b in equation 1

3a - 2b = -5..........Equation 1

3a - 2(4a - 15) = -5

3a - 8a + 30 = -5

Collect like terms

3a - 8a = -5 - 30

-5a = -35

a = -35/-5

a = 7

Therefore, the numerator of the fraction = 7

Substitute 7 for a in Equation 2

4a - b = 15..........Equation 2

4 × 7 - b = 15

28 - b =15

28 - 15 = b

b = 13

The denominator = b is 13.

Therefore,the fraction which this is true for = 7/13

To confirm

a) If you add 5 to both the numerator and the denominator of a fraction, you obtain 2/3

This means:

a + 5/b + 5 = 2/3

7 + 5/ 13 + 5 = 2/3

12/18 = 2/3

Divide numerator and denominator by of the left hand side by 6

12÷ 6/ 18 ÷ 6 = 2/3

2/3 =2/3

If you subtract 5 from both the numerator and the denominator of the same fraction, you obtain 1/4

This means:

a - 5/b - 5 = 1/4

7 - 5/13 - 5 = 1/4

2/8 = 1/4

Divide the numerator and denominator of the left hand side by 2

2÷2/8 ÷ 2 = 1/4

1/4 = 1/4

From the above confirmation, the fraction that this is true for is 7/13

HELP PLEASE! A Blue Jay wanted to store some acorns for the winter. If she hides 18 acorns per tree, she will be left with four acorns; if she hides 20 acorns per tree, there will be extra space for an additional four acorns (the number of trees is always the same). How many acorns is the Blue Jay going to store for the winter, and in how many trees?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

T = number of trees

A = number of acorns

Given:

A =  18T + 4 ...........................(1)

A = 20T -4 .........................(2)

Equate A from (1) and (2)

20T-4 = 18T+4

simplify and solve for T

20T - 18T = 4+4

2T = 8

T = 4 trees

A = 18T + 4 = 72+4 = 76 acorns, or

A = 20T - 4 = 80 - 4 = 76 acorns.

The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale is an intelligence test, which, like many other IQ tests, is standardized in order to have a normal distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 points.
As an early intervention effort, a school psychologist wants to estimate the average score on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale for all students with a specific type of learning disorder using a simple random sample of 16 students with the disorder. Determine the margin of error, m, of a 99% confidence interval for the mean IQ score of all students with the disorder. Assume that the standard deviation IQ score among the population of all students with the disorder is the same as the standard deviation of IQ score for the general population, sigma = 15 points.

Answers

Answer:

The  margin of error is [tex]MOE = 9.68[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is [tex]n= 16[/tex]

     The  standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 15[/tex]

     The  confidence level is  [tex]C = 99[/tex]%

Generally the level of significance is mathematically evaluated as

     [tex]\alpha = 100 - C[/tex]

     [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

     [tex]\alpha = 1%[/tex]%

   [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

The  critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] obtained from the normal distribution table is  

     [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

The  reason obtaining the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] instead of  [tex]\alpha[/tex] is because we are  considering the two tails of the area normal distribution curve which is not inside the 99% confidence interval

   Now the margin of error is evaluated as

              [tex]MOE = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

            [tex]MOE = 2.58 * \frac{15}{\sqrt{16} }[/tex]

Answers

The correct answer is B. 40,320

Explanation:

In mathematics, a permutation refers to all the possible ways of arranging objects or elements in a set, while still considering an order. For example, you can calculate all the possible ways 5 athletes can end in a race as one athlete cannot have both the first and third place. The expression [tex]{8}[/tex][tex]P_{7}[/tex] shows a permutation because the P indicates the expression refers to a permutation. Additionally, this can be solved by using the formula [tex]{n}[/tex][tex]P_{r}[/tex]  =[tex]\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]. This means, in the expression presented n = 8 while r = 7. Also, the symbol (!) indicates the number should be multiplied using all whole numbers minor to the given number until you get to 1, which is known as factorial functions. The process is shown below:

[tex]{n}[/tex][tex]P_{r}[/tex]  =[tex]\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex] [tex]{8}[/tex][tex]P_{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8!}{(8-7) !}[/tex][tex]{8}[/tex][tex]P_{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8!}{1!}[/tex]

[tex]{8}[/tex][tex]P_{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1}{1}[/tex]   or  8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 / 1

[tex]{8}[/tex][tex]P_{7}[/tex] = 40320

A certain virus infects one in every 400 people. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 80% of the time if the person has the virus and 10% of the time if the person does not have the virus. (This 10% result is called a false positive.) Let A be the event "the person is infected" and B be the event "the person tests positive".
(a) Using Bayes’ Theorem, when a person tests positive, determine the probability that the person is infected.
(b) Using Bayes’ Theorem, when a person tests negative, determine the probability that the person is not infected.

Answers

Answer:

A) P(A|B) = 0.01966

B) P(A'|B') = 0.99944

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that A is the event "the person is infected" and B is the event "the person tests positive".

Thus, using bayes theorem, the probability that the person is infected is; P(A|B)

From bayes theorem,

P(A|B) = [P(A) × P(B|A)]/[(P(A) x P(B|A)) + (P(A') x P(B|A'))]

Now, from the question,

P(A) = 1/400

P(A') = 399/400

P(B|A) = 0.8

P(B|A') = 0.1

Thus;

P(A|B) = [(1/400) × 0.8)]/[((1/400) x 0.8) + ((399/400) x (0.1))]

P(A|B) = 0.01966

B) we want to find the probability that when a person tests negative, the person is not infected. This is;

P(A'|B') = P(Not infected|negative) = P(not infected and negative) / P(negative) = [(399/400) × 0.9)]/[((399/400) x 0.9) + ((1/400) x (0.2))] = 0.99944

Determine if the field Bold Upper F equals 10 yz Bold i plus 10 xz Bold j plus 10 xy Bold k is conservative or not conservative.

Answers

F is conservative if we can find a scalar funciton f such that grad(f) = F.

This would entail

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=10yz[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=10xz[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=10xy[/tex]

Integrate both sides of the first equation with respect to x :

[tex]f(x,y,z)=10xyz+g(y,z)[/tex]

Differentiate both sides with respect to y :

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=10xz=10xz+\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}[/tex]

[tex]\implies\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=0\implies g(y,z)=h(z)[/tex]

Differentiate both sides with respect to z :

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=10xy=10xy+\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}[/tex]

[tex]\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}=0\implies h(z)=C[/tex]

So we have

[tex]f(x,y,z)=10xyz+C[/tex]

that satisfies

[tex]\nabla f(x,y,z)=\mathbf F(x,y,z)[/tex]

and so F is indeed conservative.

Suppose , varies jointly with g and v, and j = 2 when g = 4 and v= 3.
Find j when g = 8 and v= 11.

Answers

Answer:

j = 44/3

Step-by-step explanation:

j varies jointly as g and v. This can be represented mathematically as:

[tex]j \alpha gv\\j = kgv[/tex].............(1)

Where k is a constant of proportionality

j = 2 when g = 4 and v = 3

Substitute these values into equation (1)

2 = k * 4 * 3

2 = 12 k

k = 1/6

when g = 8 and v = 11:

j = (1/6) * 8 * 11

j = 44/3

About 9% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 600 people are randomly selected.

Find the standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation in such groups of 600.

Answers

Answer:

The mean for all such groups randomly selected is 0.09*800=72.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the standard deviation is 7.

What is the standard deviation?

Standard deviation is defined as the amount of variation or the deviation of the numbers from each other.

The standard deviation is calculated by using the formula,

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{Npq}[/tex]

N = 600

p = 9%= 0.09

q = 1 - p= 1 - 0.09= 0.91

Put the values in the formulas.

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{Npq}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{600 \times 0.09\times 0.91}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = 7

Therefore, the value of the standard deviation is 7.

it takes olivia one minute to swim 1/60 of a kilometer how far can she swim in 12 minutes

Answers

Answer:

1/5 if a kilometer

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it was 1/60 of a kilometer which is 0.0166 of the kilometer.

So In 12 minutes he would cover 0.2 of the kilometer which is 1/5

The distance Olivia swims in 2 minutes is 1/30 km.

Given,

It takes Olivia one minute to swim 1/60 of a kilometer.

We need to find out how far can she swim in 12 minutes.

How to compare two units in proportion?

Suppose if we have,

3 items cost = $9

Cost of one item = $9 / 3 = $3

If in 5 minutes one can walk for 1km

In 10 minutes one can walk:

= (10/5 x 1) km

= 2 km

Find the distance Olivia swims in one minute.

= 1/60 km

Find the distance Olivia swims in 2 minutes.

We have,

1 minute = 1/60 km

Multiply both sides by 2.

2 x 1 minute = 2 x 1/60 km  

2 minutes = 1/30 km

Thus the distance Olivia swims in 2 minutes is 1/30 km.
