Answer 1

Answer:

C. A clothing store claims that 45% of its customers prefer skinny jeans over regular jeans. They concluded this from a survey which asked 120 randomly selected teenage customers which style they prefer.

E. A report by a company that manufactures hair brushes says 56% of people who buy their brushes own only one hair brush. The conclusion comes from a survey of 500 males who bought the company's brush.

Step-by-step explanation:

These two are the biased reports because they don't include the full population.

C is biased because it only includes teens, not people of any other age.

E is biased because it only included males, not females.

A isn't biased because it includes the stated population, high school students in the city.

B isn't biased because the sample was of 50 random customers, which is the general population.

D isn't biased as it included all data from the website.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The solution is,:

1) A clothing store claims that 45% of its customers prefer skinny jeans over regular jeans. They concluded this from a survey which asked 120 randomly selected teenage customers which style they prefer.

3) A report by a company that manufactures hair brushes says 56% of people who buy their brushes own only one hair brush. The conclusion comes from a survey of 500 males who bought the company's brush.

What is sample and statistic?

A portion of population taken and analyzed to predict information about population is called sample of that population.

Ex: When someone surveys a group, then he/she surveys a portion and not whole population in general.

Those numbers who summarize information about sample are called statistic.

(Statistic is different than statistics)

The  numbers which summarize information about the sample are called statistic.

The scenarios in which the statistics are misleading;

1) A clothing store claims that 45% of its customers prefer skinny jeans over regular jeans. They concluded this from a survey which asked 120 randomly selected teenage customers which style they prefer.

3) A report by a company that manufactures hair brushes says 56% of people who buy their brushes own only one hair brush. The conclusion comes from a survey of 500 males who bought the company's brush.

The Arc Electronic Company had an income of 7676 million dollars last year. Suppose the mean income of firms in the same industry as Arc for a year is 9090 million dollars with a standard deviation of 77 million dollars. If incomes for this industry are distributed normally, what is the probability that a randomly selected firm will earn more than Arc did last year

Answers

Answer:

0.9772 = 97.72% probability that a randomly selected firm will earn more than Arc did last year

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Suppose the mean income of firms in the same industry as Arc for a year is 90 million dollars with a standard deviation of 7 million dollars.

This means that [tex]\mu = 90, \sigma = 7[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly selected firm will earn more than Arc did last year?

Arc earned 76 million, so this is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 76.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{76 - 90}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0228

1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772

0.9772 = 97.72% probability that a randomly selected firm will earn more than Arc did last year

Answers

Answer:

  a) 9:45 pm

  b) 10:57 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 15 hours between 7:30 am and 10:30 pm, the clock hands will have moved 15×0.95 = 14.25 hours = 14 hours and 15 minutes.

At 10:30 pm, the clock indicates 9:45 pm.

__

b) In the 9 hours between 10:30 pm and 7:30 am, the clock will have moved 9×0.95 = 8.55 hours, or 8 hours 33 minutes. That is, the clock needs to be set 27 minutes ahead of the actual time.

The clock need to be set to 10:57 pm.

_____

Alternate solution

At 95% speed, the clock loses 5%×60 minutes = 3 minutes each hour. In the 15 hours from morning to night, the clock will be 45 minutes slow. It will indicate 9:45 at 10:30 pm.

In the 9 hours from night to morning, the clock will lose 27 minutes so needs to be set 27 minutes fast. It should be set to 10:57 pm at 10:30 pm.

a ramp was constructed to load a truck. if the ramp is 10 ft long and the horizontal distance from the bottom of the ramp to the is 8 ft, what is the height from the ground to the top of the ramp?

Answers

You can use the Pythagorean theorem to do this. a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
a=8 ft
b=unknown
c=10ft
Square 10, to get 10,000
Square 8 to get 64
Subtract 64 from both sides
Then square root both sides to get x by itself. X = 99.7 ft
If we assume that the angle created by horizontal distance and the height of the ramp is 90 degrees, we could use Pythagorean theorem c^2=a^2+b^2
c=10ft
b=8ft
a=? aka height

10^2=a^2+8^2
100=a^2+64
a^2=100-64
a^2=36
a= √36
a=6 ft
Height from the ground to the top of the ramp is 6ft.

Find the probability that when a couple has five children, at least one of them is a boy. (assume that boys and girls are equally likely.)​

Answers

Answer:

The easiest way to figure this is to find P(no girls in 5 births) = (1/2)^5 = 1/32 -------------- The P(at least one girl in 5 births) = 1 - 1/32 = 31/32

The probability that when they have five children, at least one of them is a boy is 31/32

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome:

The probability that a couple will have a boy or girl among the five children = 1/2

If they gave birth to 5 children:

The probability that when they have five children, at least one of them is a boy = 1 - (1/2)^n where:

n is the total number of children

The probability that when they have five children, at least one of them is a boy = 1 - (1/2)ⁿ

The probability that when they have five children, at least one of them is a boy = 1 - (1/2)⁵

The probability that when they have five children, at least one of them is a boy = 1- 1/32 = 31/32

Hence the probability that when they have five children, at least one of them is a boy is 31/32

Batteries R Us is a manufacturer of batteries and are testing a new production technique for their most popular battery type. It is known that the mean lifetime of these batteries made using the previous production technique was 69 hours. The standard deviation in battery lifetime is 5.0 hours and it is assumed that this has not changed. They would like to know whether mean battery lifetime has increased with the new production technique. The following sample data of battery lifetimes has been collected from a random sample of 40 batteries made using the new manufacturing technique.

Battery lifetimes (hours)
82.5 78.4 80.2 78.7 67.8 76 74.8 73.9 68.8 70.3 70.7 70.7 77.9

Required:
a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test whether the new manufacturing process has increased mean battery lifetime.
b. Calculate the test statistic.

Answers

Answer:

(a) Accept the alternate hypothesis

(b) [tex]t = 104.86[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\mu= 69[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 5.0[/tex]

The sample data

Solving (a): Test whether the process increases the mean battery life

First, we state the null hypothesis

This states that the mean is 69

[tex]H_o :\mu = 69[/tex]

Next, the alternate hypothesis is to test that the mean has changed.

i.e [tex]H_a: \mu \ne 69[/tex]

Calculate the mean:

[tex]\mu = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\mu = \frac{82.5 +78.4 +80.2 +78.7 +67.8 +76 +74.8 +73.9 +68.8 +70.3 +70.7 +70.7......+69.6 +70.4}{40}[/tex]

[tex]\mu = \frac{2923.5}{40}[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 73.0875[/tex]

Calculate the standard deviation

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \mu)^2}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma= \sqrt{\frac{(82.5-73.0875)^2 +(78.4 -73.0875)^2 +(80.2 -73.0875)^2 +(78.7 -73.0875)^2 +......+(70.4-73.0875)^2}{40}}[/tex][tex]\sigma= \sqrt{\frac{776.76375}{40}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma= \sqrt{19.41909375}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma= 4.407[/tex]

From the calculations above: The calculated mean 73.0875 is not the same as 69.

Hence, we accept the null hypothesis that: [tex]H_a: \mu \ne 69[/tex]

Solving (b): The test statistic

This is calculated as:

[tex]t = \frac{\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt n}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]t = \frac{73.0875}{4.407/\sqrt {40}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{73.0875}{4.407/6.325}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{73.0875}{0.697}[/tex]

[tex]t = 104.86[/tex]

The older brother purchased 6 new shirts and 7 pairs of shorts and paid a total of $165. Write the system of equations for this problem.

Answers

Answer:

Each shirt costs $ 10, while each short costs $ 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two brothers went shopping at a back to school sale where all shirts and shorts are the same price, and the younger brother spent $ 175 on 7 new shirts and 7 pairs of shorts while the older brother purchased 6 new shirts and 7 pairs of shorts and paid a total of $ 165, to determine the price of each shorts and each shirt the following system of equations must be considered:

Shirt = X

Short = Y

7X + 7Y = 175

6X + 7Y = 165

7X - 6X + 7Y - 7Y = 175-165

X = 10

7x10 + 7Y = 175

70 + 7Y = 175

7Y = 175 - 70

Y = 105/7

Y = 15

Thus, each shirt costs $ 10, while each short costs $ 15.
