Answer:

[tex] P(X \geq 6) = P(X=6) +P(X=7) +P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)[/tex]

And using the probability mass function we got:

Answers

Answer:

14.6

Step-by-step explanation:

(A). STEP ONE: Calculate the mean

(1). Row one = (10 + 12 + 12 + 14 ) = 48/4 = 12.

(2). Row Two: (12 + 11 + 13 + 16 ) = 52/4 = 13.

(3). Row three : (11 + 13 + 14 + 14)/4 = 13.

(4). Row four: (11 + 10 + 7 + 8)/4 = 36/4 = 9.

(5). Row five: (13 +12 + 14 + 13)/4 = 52/4 = 13.

(B). STEP TWO:

- determine the maximum and minimum value for each row.

- for each row, maximum - minimum.

Maximum values for each row:

Row one = 14, row two= 16, row three = 14, row four = 11 and row five = 14.

Minimum value for each row:

Row one = 10, row two = 11, row three = 11, row four =7 and row five = 12.

DIFFERENCES in each row :

row one = 14 - 10 = 4, row two = 16 - 11 = 5, row three = 14 - 11 = 3, row four = 11 - 7 = 4 and row five = 14 -12 = 2.

(C). STEP THREE: Calculate the mean of all the rows = 60/5 = 12.

(D). STEP FOUR : Calculate the Average Range = 18/5 = 3.6.

(E). STEP FIVE : Calculate the UCL.

A = Average rage × 0.729 = 3.6 × 0.729.

9. A college financial advisor wants to estimate the mean cost of textbooks per quarter for students at the college. For the estimate to be useful, it should have a margin of error of 20 dollars or less. The standard deviation of prices is estimated to be around 100 dollars. How large of a sample size needs to be used to be 95% confident, with the given margin of error?

Answers

Answer: 97

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to compute the required sample size :

[tex]n= (\dfrac{\sigma\times z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2[/tex]

, where [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation

E= Margin of error

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}[/tex] = Two tailed z-value.

Here, E= 20

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = 100

For 95% confidence level: [tex]z_{\alpha/2}[/tex] =1.96

Required sample size:

[tex]n=(\dfrac{100\times1.96}{20})^2\\\\=(5\times1.96)^2\\\\=96.04\approx97[/tex]

Hence, the required sample size : 97

15) In a recent study of 35 ninth-grade students, the mean number of hours per week that they played video games was 16.6. The standard deviation of the population was 2.8. Find the 95 % confidence interval of the mean of the time playing video games.

Answers

Answer:

The 95 % confidence interval of the mean of the time playing video games. is

        [tex]15.67< \mu <17.52[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The sample size is [tex]n = 35[/tex]

        The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 16.6[/tex]

       The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 2.8[/tex]

The confidence level is  95%  hence the level of significance is mathematically represented as

     [tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]

     [tex]\alpha = 5[/tex]%

      [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Now the critical value of half of this level of significance obtained from the normal distribution table is  

       [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

The  reason for the half is that we are considering the two tails of the normal distribution curve which we use to obtain the interval

Now the standard error of the mean is mathematically evaluated as

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

substituting values  

     [tex]\sigma _{\= x} = \frac{2.8 }{\sqrt{35} }[/tex]

      [tex]\sigma _{\= x} = 0.473[/tex]

the 95 % confidence interval of the mean of the time playing video games.

is mathematically evaluated as

    [tex]\= x - (Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma_{\= x }) < \mu < \= x - (Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma_{\= x })[/tex]

substituting values

    [tex]16.6 - (1.96 * 0.473) < \mu < 16.6 + (1.96 * 0.473)[/tex]

     [tex]15.67< \mu <17.52[/tex]

The biology faculty at a college consists of 8 professors, 11 asscociate professors , 12 assistant professors and 4 instructors. If one faculty members is randomly selected , find probability of choosing a professor or instructor. Round to nearest thousandth

Answers

Answer:

0.343

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the different ways one can chose a professor or instructor. In this case, there are 8 professors and 4 instructors. So there are a total of 12 ways you can choose a professor or instructor.

Second, you want to find the different ways you can choose any member of the faculty. In this example, since you are only choosing one person, then you just find the total number of people in the faculty, which is 8 + 11 + 12 + 4 = 35.

Third, all you do is divide the different ways you can get a professor or instructor by the total different ways you can choose. So it's 12/35, or 0.343.

A sample of 900 computer chips revealed that 75% of the chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The company's promotional literature claimed that above 72% do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to support the company's claim

Answers

Answer:

No the evidence is not sufficient

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sample  size is  [tex]n = 900[/tex]

   The  sample  proportion is  [tex]\r p = 0.75[/tex]

    The  population proportion is  [tex]p = 0.72[/tex]

The  Null hypothesis is

   [tex]H_o : p = 0.72[/tex]

The  Alternative  hypothesis is

   [tex]H_a : p > 0.72[/tex]

The level of significance is given as  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

The critical value for the level of significance is  [tex]t_{\alpha } = 1.645[/tex]

 Now the test statistic is mathematically evaluated as

          [tex]t = \frac{\r p - p }{ \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{\sqrt{n} } } }[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]t = \frac{ 0.75 - 0.72 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.72 (1-0.72)}{\sqrt{900} } } }[/tex]

        [tex]t = 0.366[/tex]

Since the critical value is  greater than the test statistics then the Null hypothesis is rejected which there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim

In this exercise, we estimate the rate at which the total personal income is rising in a metropolitan area. In 1999, the population of this area was 924,900, and the population was increasing at roughly 9400 people per year. The average annual income was $30,388 per capita, and this average was increasing at about $1400 per year (a little above the national average of about $1225 yearly). Use the Product Rule and these figures to estimate the rate at which total personal income was rising in the area in 1999.

Answers

Answer:

the rate at which total personal income was rising in the area in 1999 is $1,580,507,200 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let consider y to represent the number of years after 1999

Then the population in time (y) can be expressed as:

P(y) = 9400y + 924900

The average annual income can be written as:

A(y) = 1400y + 30388

The total personal income = P(y)  ×  A(y)

The rate at which the total personal income is rising is T'(y) :

T'(y) = P'(y)  ×  A(y)  + P(y)  ×  A'(y)

T'(y) = (9400y + 924900)' (1400y + 30388) + (9400y + 924900) (1400y + 30388)'

T'(y) = 9400(1400y + 30388) + (9400y + 924900) 1400

Since in 1999 y =0

Then:

T'(0) = 9400(1400(0) + 30388) + (9400(0) + 924900) 1400

T'(0) = 9400(30388) + (924900)1400

T'(0) = $1,580,507,200 billion

Therefore; the rate at which total personal income was rising in the area in 1999 is $1,580,507,200 billion

Find a formula for an for the arithmetic sequence.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first terms of this sequence are: 4,0, -4, -8, -12

Let 4 be a0 and 0 a1.

● a1-a0 = 0-4

●a1-a0 = -4

●a1 = -4+a0

So this relation links the first term with the second one.

replace 1 in a1 with n.

0 in a0 will be n-1

● an = -4+a(n-1)

Add one in n

● a(n+1) = a(n)-4

● a(n) = a(n+1)+4

The water output rate for the Johnson family's sprinkler was40 gallons per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 32 hours, resulting in a total wateroutput of 960 gallons. How many hours was each family’s sprinkler used?

Answers

Answer:

J = 32

E = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

E is the number of hours for the Escobar family

J is the number of hours for the Johnson family

E + J = 32

E * 20 + J * 30 = 960

Multiply the first equation by -20 so we can use elimination

-20 E -20 J = -640

Add this to the second equation

E * 20 + J * 30 = 960

-20 E -20 J = -640

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

         10 J = 320

Divide by 10

J = 32

Now find E

E + J = 32

E  + 32 = 32

E = 0

A) 0.74
B) 0.59
C) 0.56
D) 0.54

Answers

The correct answer is C) 0.56

Explanation:

In general terms, the probability of two or more events can be calculated by adding the probability of each event. This rule applies when an event is considered as mutually exclusive. Age is considered as a mutually exclusive event because if a random individual is selected he/she will be only one age. In this context, if you need to know the probability that a student is 15 or younger it is necessary to add the probability that a student is 15, the probability that the student is 14, and the probability that the student is 13. The process is shown below:

P (A or B or C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C)

P =  P(13) + P(14) + P(15)

To test this claim, a group of 400 teenagers are randomly selected and its determined that 149 floss twice a day. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: H0:p=0.40 H0:p<0.40 The p-value for this hypothesis test is 0.131. At the 5% significance level, should the dentist reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

Answers

Answer:

The dentist should fail to reject the Null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The sample size is  n =  400

       The  sample  mean is  [tex]\= x = 149[/tex]

       The  level of significance is  5%  = 0.05  

       The  Null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : p = 0.40[/tex]

        The Alternative  hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p < 0.40[/tex]

         The  p-value is  [tex]p-value = 0.131[/tex]

Looking at the given data we can see that the p-value is greater than the level of significance hence the dentist should fail to reject the Null hypothesis
