In a study of the impact of smoking on birth weight, researchers analyze birth weights (in grams) for babies born to 189 women who gave birth in 1989 at a hospital in Massachusetts. In the group, 74 of the women were categorized as smokers and 115 as non-smokers. The difference in the two sample mean birth weights (non-smokers minus smokers) is 281.7 grams and the 95% confidence interval is (76.5, 486.9). Which gives the best interpretation of what we can conclude about the impact of smoking on birth weight

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

Total women -  189

Smokers - 74

Non-smokers - 115

The difference in 2 samples mean birth weight = 281.7 grams

95% confident that the mean weight = between 76.5 grams to 486.9  

solution:

The best interpretation would be -

95% confident that the babies of nonsmokers have a mean weight between 76.5 grams to 486.9 grams which is much more than the babies of women smokes by comparing smokers to nonsmokers from given data.

A recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of flour, cups of white sugar, and cups of brown sugar. The recipe makes 6 servings.
How many cups of flour are there per serving?
Suppose you modify the recipe to triple the number of servings. How much flour do you need for the modified recipe? [PS]Can you show my how its done too?

Answers

Answer:

Lets find how much flour we need for just one serving.

2 2/3 ÷ 6

8/3 ÷ 6

8/3 * 1/6

8/18

4/9 cup of flour per serving

If we triple the recipe (6 * 3 = 18), we will have a total of 18 servings. Multiply the amount of flour we got for one serving to 18 servings.

4/9 * 18/1

72/9

8 cups of flour for 18 servings

3x= 5 + 2(3 + 4x)
How to solve this?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x = 5 + 2(3 + 4x)

3x = 5 + (3 * 2 + 4x * 2)

3x = 5 + (6 + 8x)

Combine like terms: 5 + 6 = 11

3x = 11 + 8x

Solving

3x = 11 + 8x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.

3x + -8x = 11 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 3x + -8x = -5x

-5x = 11 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0

-5x = 11 + 0

-5x = 11

Divide each side by '-5'.

x = -2.2

Simplifying

x = -2.2

Answer:

x = -11/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = 5 + 2(3 + 4x)

~Distribute left side

3x = 5 + 6 + 8x

~Combine like terms on the left side

3x = 11 + 8x

~Subtract 8x to both sides

-5x = 11

~Divide -5 to both sides

x = -11/5

Complete Question

A certain WSU curriculum committee consists of 11 members. In a regular meeting last year, seven members of the committee were in favor of a program proposal and the other four rejected it. If the committee members leave the meeting room in random order and each of the first three leaving the room is accosted by a reporter in quest of an interview, then let X be the number of committee members rejecting the proposal among those interviewed.

1. What is the probability that exactly two are from the member favoring the acceptance of the proposal among those interviewed.

Answer:

The  value  is [tex]P(U) = 0.5091[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  number of  member is  n =  11

     The  number of member who are in favor of the project  is k  =  7

     The  number of members who rejected the project is  h =  4

Generally the number of way of selecting the first three member left out of the 11 members is mathematically represented as

           [tex]F = ^n C _r[/tex]

Here r  =  3  and C stand for combination , so using a combination calculator we have

        [tex]F = ^{11} C _3 = 165[/tex]

Given that out of the first three members that left 2  of the members accepted the project  i.e  U  =  2

 The  number of way of selecting the 2 members from the total 7 members that accepted the project is  

      [tex]G = ^{7} C _2[/tex]

=>   [tex]G = 21[/tex]

Given that two members out of the first three accepted the project it means that the remaining one person rejected the project, the number of ways of selecting this one person from the 4 that rejected the project is mathematically represented as

       [tex]U = ^4 C_1[/tex]

=>    [tex]U = 4[/tex]

Generally  the probability that exactly two are from the member favoring the acceptance of the proposal among those interviewed is mathematically represented as

      [tex]P(U) = \frac{G * U}{F}[/tex]      

      [tex]P(U) = \frac{21 * 4}{165}[/tex]  

      [tex]P(U) = 0.5091[/tex]

Paper clips are sold in small boxes and in large boxes.
There is a total of 1115 paper clips in 4 small boxes and 5 large boxes.
There is a total of 530 paper clips in 3 small boxes and 2 large boxes.
Work out the number of paper clips in each small box and in each large box.

Answers

Answer:

Small boxes contain 60 paperclips and large boxes contain 175 paperclips.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up two simultaneous equations:

Use s for small boxes and l for large boxes. (You could use any letters)

4s + 5l= 1115

3s + 2l= 530

2. Number the equations:

4s + 5l= 1115 (1)

3s + 2l= 530 (2)

3. Multiply both equations to get the same number of ls (for different questions the letters might be different):

(1) x 2:

8s + 10l= 2230 (3)

(2) x 5:

15s + 10l= 2650 (4)

4. Subtract one from the other to get rid of the ls:

(4) - (3)

  8s + 10l= 2230

- 15s + 10l= 2650

   7s        =420

5. Solve for s:

s= 420/7= 60

6. Substitute the s value into one of the original equations to find l:

4 x 60 + 5l= 1115

240 + 5l= 1115

5l= 1115 - 240

5l= 875

l= 875/5= 175

The answer is B because a function can't have repeating x values or more than 1 x value that's the same. None of the x values in B repeat so it's a function! Also, remember that y values CAN repeat, so if the y values repeat, it doesn't mean it isn't a function.

Over a nine-month period, OutdoorGearLab tested hardshell jackets designed for ice climbing, mountaineering, and backpacking. Based on the breathability, durability, ver-satility, features, mobility, and weight of each jacket, an overall rating ranging from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest) was assigned to each jacket tested. The following data show the results for 20 top-of-the line jackets (OutdoorGearLab website, February 27, 2013).

61 64 61 54 83 63 68 69 81 53
a. Compute the mean, median, and mode.
b. Compute the first and third quartiles.
c. Compute and interpret the 90th percentile.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The mean is 65.9, the median is, 66.5 and the mode is. 61.

(b) The first and third quartiles are 61 and 71 respectively.

(c) The value of the 90th percentile is, 78.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratings of 20 top-of-the line jackets, arranged in ascending order are as follows:

S = {42 , 53 , 54 , 61 , 61 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 66 , 67 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 71 , 71 , 76 , 78 , 81 , 83}

(a)

Compute the mean as follows:

[tex]\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{x_{i}}=\frac{1}{20}\times 1318=65.9[/tex]

Compute the median as follows:

For an even number of values the median is the average of the middle two values.

[tex]M=\frac{10^{th}obs.+11^{th}obs.}{2}=\frac{66+67}{2}=66.5[/tex]

Compute the mode as follows:

The mode of a dataset is the term that occurs most of the time.

[tex]m=61[/tex]

Thus, the mean is 65.9, the median is, 66.5 and the mode is. 61.

(b)

The first quartile is the median of the first half of the data set.

S₁ = {42 , 53 , 54 , 61 , 61 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 66}

[tex]Q_{1}=\text{Median of }S_{1}=\frac{5^{th}obs.+6^{th}obs.}{2}=\frac{61+61}{2}=61[/tex]

The third quartile is the median of the second half of the data set.

S₂ = {67 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 71 , 71 , 76 , 78 , 81 , 83}

[tex]Q_{3}=\text{Median of }S_{2}=\frac{15^{th}obs.+16^{th}obs.}{2}=\frac{71+71}{2}=71[/tex]

Thus, the first and third quartiles are 61 and 71 respectively.

(c)

The pth percentile is a data value such that at least p% of the data set is less-than or equal to this data value and at least (100 - p)% of the data-set are more-than or equal to this data value.

Use the Excel formula "=PERCENTILE.INC(array,0.9)" to compute the 90th percentile.

The value of the 90th percentile is, 78.3.

This value implies that 90% of the ratings are less than 78.3.

Answer:   a = -5/2

==========================================

Work Shown:

The scalar (2/5a+6) multiplies with the matrix on the left side to get the matrix on the right side

So this is what your steps could look like

[tex](\frac{2}{5}a+6)\begin{bmatrix}3 \\ -2 \\ 7\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}15 \\ -10 \\ 35\end{bmatrix}\\\\\\\begin{bmatrix}(\frac{2}{5}a+6)*3 \\ (\frac{2}{5}a+6)*(-2) \\ (\frac{2}{5}a+6)*7\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}15 \\ -10 \\ 35\end{bmatrix}\\\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}\frac{2}{5}a*3+6*3 \\ \frac{2}{5}a*(-2)+6*(-2) \\ \frac{2}{5}a*7+6*7\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}15 \\ -10 \\ 35\end{bmatrix}\\\\\\\begin{bmatrix}\frac{6}{5}a+18 \\ -\frac{4}{5}a-12 \\ \frac{14}{5}a+42\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}15 \\ -10 \\ 35\end{bmatrix}\\\\\\[/tex]

The last matrix equation leads to this system of equations

[tex]\begin{cases}\frac{6}{5}a+18=15 \\ -\frac{4}{5}a-12=-10 \\ \frac{14}{5}a+42=35\end{cases}\\\\\\[/tex]

If we pick any of those equations, and solve for 'a', then we'll get our answer.

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

Let's say we pick the first equation

(6/5)a+18 = 15

(6/5)a = 15-18

(6/5)a = -3

a = -3(5/6)

a = -15/6

a = -5/2

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

If we pick on the second equation, then,

(-4/5)a-12 = -10

(-4/5)a = -10+12

(-4/5)a = 2

a = 2(-5/4)

a = -10/4

a = -5/2

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

Or we could solve the third equation for 'a'

(14/5)a+42 = 35

(14/5)a = 35-42

(14/5)a = -7

a = -7*(5/14)

a = -35/14

a = -5/2

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

You only need to solve one equation to find 'a', though it's good practice to solve all three to see all three rows agreeing with one another.

The multiplication of the matrix by a constant will multiply for each term in the matrix value of the "a" given system of the matrix will be -2.5.

What is a matrix?

A matrix is a collection of numbers lined up in rows and columns to produce a rectangular array.

In computer graphics, where they have been used to describe picture transformations and other alterations, matrices have vital applications as well in many sectors.

As per the given system of the matrix.

When we multiply anything in a matrix then it will multiply to each and every term of the matrix.

Therefore the (2/5)a + 6 will be multiplied by 3,-2, and 7 each.

So the first term of the left-hand side matrix becomes,[(2/5)a + 6]3

If we compare two matrices then each corresponding term will be the same.

Therefore, the first term of the left-hand matrix = first term of the right-hand matrix

[(2/5)a + 6]3 = 15

6a/5 + 18 = 15

6a/5 = -3

6a = -15

a = -15/6 = -2.5

Hence "The value of the "a" given system of the matrix will be -2.5".

the width of a rectangle card is 2cm less than the length and the area is 35cm²​

Answers

Given :

The width of a rectangle card is 2cm less than the length and the area of rectangle is 35cm²[tex].[/tex]

To Find :

We have to find length and breadth of rectangle.

Solution :

Let length of the rectangle be x cm.

Given that, width is 2cm less than the length.

∴ Width = (x - 2) cm

➤ Area of rectangle :

Area = Length × Width

⭆ Area of rectangle = 35

⭆ length × width = 35

⭆ x × (x - 2) = 35

⭆ x² - 2x - 35 = 0

⭆ x² - 7x + 5x - 35 = 0

⭆ x(x - 7) + 5(x - 7) = 0

x = 7 or x = -5

We know that, length can't be negative.

∴ Length of rectangle = 7cm

Width = x - 2 = 7 - 2

∴ Width of rectangle = 5cm
