Rachel is conducting a study in her cognitive psychology lab about people's ability to remember rhythms. She played

a short rhythm to 425 randomly chosen people. One minute later, she asked them to repeat it by clapping. If 121

people were able to successfully reproduce the rhythm, estimate the proportion of the population (including margin

of error) that would be able to successfully reproduce the rhythm.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Rachel can conclude that 28% were able to successfully reproduce the rhythm plus or minus 5.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sample proportion that is able to successfully reproduce the rhythm = 121/425 = 0.2847 = p

Using this formula, we can calculate the margin of error

Margin of error = z*√{[p (1-p)] / n}

Where we assume a 95% level of confidence so that z* = 1.96. since one is not given, p = 0.28457 and n = 245.

Margin of error = 1.96 x √(0.28457 (1-0.28457)] / 245}

Margin of error = 1.96 x √[(0.28457 (0.7154)] / 245

 = 1.96 x √(0.20/245)

 = 1.96 x √0.000816

  = 1.96 x 0.03

 = 0.056.

Thus, Rachel can conclude that 28% were able to successfully reproduce the rhythm plus or minus 5.6%

Find the length of OX

start overline, O, X, end overline.

If entering your answer as a decimal, round your final answer to the nearest hundredth

Answers

Answer:

Length OX = 7.09 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the full question is attached to this solution.

Let the length of OX be x

Then length of OD = (13 - x)

From the image of the figure, it is given that

Angle BOL = Angle LOP

Let that angle be equal to θ

Angle BOL = Angle LOP = θ

But since lines BX, OL and PD are evidently parallel to one another, we can say that

Angle OPD = Angle LOP = θ (alternate angles are equal)

Also, Angle OBX = Angle BOL = θ (alternate angles are equal)

And from trigonometric relations,

Sin θ = (x/12)

And

Sin θ = (13 - x)/10

Since sin θ = sin θ

We can then equate

(x/12) = (13 - x)/10

cross multiplying

10x = 12 (13 - x)

10x = 156 - 12x

10x + 12x = 156

22x = 156

x = (156/22) = 7.091 = 7.09 to the nearest hundredth.

Hence, length OX = 7.09 units

When will n(A∩B)=0? Explain and give an example.

Answers

Answer:

Two sets are called disjoint if they have no elements in common. For example:

The sets S = { 2, 4, 6, 8 } and T = { 1, 3, 5, 7 } are disjoint.

Another way to define disjoint sets is to say that their intersection is the empty set,

Two sets A and B are disjoint if A ∩ B = 0.

In the example above,

S ∩ T = ∅ because no number lies in both sets.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two sets A and B having no common items then n(A∩B) = 0.

What are disjoint sets?

In mathematics, two sets are said to be disjoint sets if they have no element in common.

Let there be two sets A and B,

A = {a, b, c, d}

B = {e, f, g, h}

Therefore intersection of A ad B we get,

A∩B = {0}

Thus, the number of elements in n(A∩B) is 0.

⇒ n(A∩B) = 0

Thus, when two sets A and B having no common items then n(A∩B) = 0.

Answers

Answer:

(a)

The vertices are at (0,-5) and (0,5).The coordinates of the foci are (0,-3) and (0,3).Eccentricity=3/5

(b)Length of the major axis=10

Step-by-step explanation:

When the major axis of an ellipse is parallel to the y-axis.The standard form of the equation of an ellipse is given as:

[tex]\dfrac{x^2}{b^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{a^2}=1[/tex]

Given the equation:

[tex]\dfrac{x^2}{16}+\dfrac{y^2}{25}=1[/tex]

(I)The coordinates of the vertices are [tex](0, \pm a)[/tex]

[tex]a^2=25\\a^2=5^2\\a=5[/tex]

Therefore, the vertices are at (0,-5) and (0,5).

(II)The coordinates of the foci are [tex](0, \pm c)$ where c^2=a^2-b^2[/tex]

[tex]c^2=a^2-b^2\\c^2=25-16\\c^2=9\\c=3[/tex]

The coordinates of the foci are (0,-3) and (0,3).

(III)Eccentricity

This is the ratio of the distance c between the center of the ellipse and each focus to the length of the semi major axis.

Simply put, Eccentricity =c/a

Eccentricity=3/5

The mode is nothing. ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.) B. There is no mode. b. Which measure of center works best​ here?

Answers

Answer:

(a) The mean of the data is 275.

(b) The median of the data is 85.

(c) The mode of the data is 45.

(d)  The measure of center that works best​ here will be median.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given below the frequency of cremation burials found in 17 archaeological sites. Arranging those in ascending order we get;

28, 31, 32, 45, 45, 47, 59, 67, 85, 86, 143, 256, 272, 390, 424, 524, 2141.

(a) The formula for calculating mean for the above data is given by;

     Mean, [tex]\bar X[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{\sum X}{n}[/tex]

                =  [tex]\frac{28+ 31+ 32+ 45+ 45+ 47+ 59+ 67+ 85+ 86+ 143+ 256+ 272+ 390+ 424+ 524+ 2141}{17}[/tex]

                =  [tex]\frac{4675}{17}[/tex]  = 275

So, the mean of the data is 275.

(b) Since, the number of observations (n) in our data is odd (i.e. n = 17) , so the formula for calculating median is given by;

                    Median  =  [tex](\frac{n+1}{2} )^{th} \text{ obs.}[/tex]

                                   =  [tex](\frac{17+1}{2} )^{th} \text{ obs.}[/tex]

                                   =  [tex](\frac{18}{2} )^{th} \text{ obs.}[/tex]

                                   =  [tex]9^{th} \text{ obs.}[/tex] = 85

So, the median of the data is 85.

(c) Mode is that value in our data which appears maximum number of times in our data.

So, after observing our data we can see that only number 45 is appearing maximum number of times (2 times) and all other numbers are appearing  only once.

So, the mode of the data is 45.

(d) The measure of center that works best​ here will be median because there are outliers in our data (means extreme values) and mean gets affected by the outliers.

So, the best measure would be median as it represents the middle most value of our data.

Answers

Answer: The area is 9π unit squared ( in terms of π)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation for area of a circle, A = πr²

Where A is the area of the circle

r is the radius of the circle

From the question, the radius, r of the circle is 3

r = 3

Therefore, the Area of the circle is given by

A = π × (3)²

A = π×3×3

A = 9π unit squared ( in terms of π)

Hence, the area is 9π unit squared

OR

Since π is given as 3.14

Then,

A = 3.14 × (3)²

A = 3.14 × 3 × 3

A = 28.26 unit squared

Hence, Area is 28.26 unit squared (in decimal)

The depth of water at the end of a pier varies with the tides. The low tides occur on a particular day at 2:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. with a depth of 1.1 m. The high tides occur at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. with a depth of 5.3 m. A large boat needs at least 3 m of water to be safely secured at the end of the pier. What is the first time in the morning that is it safe for the boat to be tied to the pier

Answers

Answer:

4:42 a.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The earliest low tide occurs by 2:00 a.m. and the earliest high tide occurs by 8:00 a.m.

Between these hours, 6 hours elapsed.

The lowest point is 1.1 m and increases steadily to 5.3 m.

Let us take 2:00 a.m. as the zeroth hour, and 8:00 a.m. as the 6th hour, we can safely interpolate as below,

0 = 1.1 m

x = 3 m

6 = 5.3 m

we solve as [tex]\frac{x - 0}{6 - 0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3 - 1.1}{5.3 - 1.1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.9}{4.2}[/tex]

4.2x = 11.4

x = 2.71 hours from 2:00 a.m.

= 2 hrs + (0.71 x 60)min = 2 hrs 42.6 min

the time will approximately be by 4:42 a.m.

There is a 56% chance that there is no relationship between annual company profit and median annual salary paid by the company.
B. There is a relationship between annual company profit and median annual salary paid by the company, and the corresponding value of the correlation coefficient is r = 0.56.
C. There is no relationship between annual company profit and median annual salary paid by the company.
D. There is not convincing evidence of a relationship between annual company profit and median annual salary paid by the company.

Answers

Answer:

D. There is not convincing evidence of a relationship between annual company profit and median annual salary paid by the company.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this hypothesis test, the null hypothesis usually states that there is no relationship between the two variables in study.

In opposite, the claim that is being tested is the speculative hypothesis: that there is a significant relationship between both variables.

The researcher takes a sample and the P-value indicates the probability of getting that sample by pure chance if the null hypothesis is true.

Then, a very small P-value, below the significance level, indicates that the sample is very unusual if the null hypothesis is true, what gives evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

In this case, a P-value of 0.56 indicates that the sample is not unusual if the null hypothesis is true, so it gives no support to the claim that the null hypothesis is false and that there exists a relationship between the two variables in study.

D. There is not convincing evidence of a relationship between annual company profit and a median annual salary paid by the company.  

An appropriate conclusion based on this p-value is that there is not convincing evidence of a relationship between annual company profit and the median annual salary paid by the company.   The researcher takes a sample, and if the null hypothesis is true, the P-value indicates the probability of taking this sample purely by chance. A very small P-value below the significance level indicates that the sample is very abnormal if the null hypothesis is true. This indicates that the null hypothesis needs to be rejected.   In this case, a P-value of 0.56 indicates that the sample is not uncommon if the null hypothesis is true. Therefore, the claim that the null hypothesis is false and that  the two variables under investigation are related is not supported.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

Answers

Answer:

A. 1 inch by 5 inches

B. 3 inches by 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the sides of the rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle can be represented mathematically as

perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l = length

w = width

perimeter = 12 inches

perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

12 = 2(l + w)

divide both sides by 2

l + w = 12/2

l + w = 6

Base on the option the dimension can only be 1 inches by 5 inches because the sum can give 6.

Square

The perimeter of the square is 12 inches.

perimeter of a square = 4l

where

l = length

12 = 4l

divide both sides by 4

l = 12/4

l = 3 inches

The length should be 3 inches by 3 inches.

A study conducted at a certain college shows that 54% of the school's graduates move to a different state after graduating. Find the probability that among 7 randomly selected graduates, at least one moves to a different state after graduating.

Answers

Answer:

99.56% probability that among 7 randomly selected graduates, at least one moves to a different state after graduating.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they move to a different state, or they do not. The probability of a graduate moving to a different state is independent of other graduates. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

54% of the school's graduates move to a different state after graduating.

This means that [tex]p = 0.54[/tex]

7 randomly selected graduates

This means that [tex]n = 7[/tex]

Find the probability that among 7 randomly selected graduates, at least one moves to a different state after graduating.

Either none moves, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

[tex]P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1[/tex]

We want [tex]P(X \geq 1)[/tex]. Then

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{7,0}.(0.54)^{0}.(0.46)^{7} = 0.0044[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0044 = 0.9956[/tex]

99.56% probability that among 7 randomly selected graduates, at least one moves to a different state after graduating.

Heating oil is to be poured at the constant rate of 4.5 gallons per minute into a 400-gallon tank that already contains 115 gallons of heating oil. What fraction of the tank's total capacity will be full in 30 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume after 30 minutes is:

(4.5 gal/min) (30 min) + 115 gal = 250 gal

The fraction of total capacity is:

250 gal / 400 gal = 5/8

The fraction of the tank's total capacity will be full in 30 minutes will be 5 / 8.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

Heating oil is to be poured at the constant rate of 4.5 gallons (17.03 l) per minute into a 400-gallon tank that already contains 115 gallons (435.32 l) of heating oil.

Then the fraction of the tank's total capacity will be full in 30 minutes will be

The amount of oil in the tank after 30 minutes. Then we have

Amount of oil in the tank = 115 + 4.5 x 30

Amount of oil in the tank = 115 + 135

Amount of oil in the tank = 250 gallons (946.35 l)

Then the fraction of the tank's total capacity will be full in 30 minutes will be

⇒ 250 / 400

⇒ 5 / 8

Thus, the fraction of the tank's total capacity will be full in 30 minutes will be 5 / 8.

A company is planning to manufacture snowboards. The fixed costs are $ 100$100 per day and total costs are ​$55005500 per day at a daily output of 20 boards. A. Assuming that the total cost per​ day, C(x), is linearly related to the total output per​ day, x, write an equation for the cost function.

Answers

Answer:

The equation for total cost function is

C(x)=100+270x

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable cost per per board =total cost per day-fixed cost per day/daily output

total cost per day is $5,500

fixed cost per day is $100

20 boards are produced per day

variable cost per board=($5,500-$100)/20=$270 per day

Total cost C(x)=fixed cost per day+ variable per board*number of daily output

Since daily output is represented also by x ,total cost function is given thus:

C(x)=100+270x

The equation for total cost function is C(x)=100+270x

The calculation is as follows:

Variable cost per board =total cost per day-fixed cost per day ÷ daily output

Here

total cost per day is $5,500

fixed cost per day is $100

20 boards are produced per day

So,

variable cost per board=($5,500-$100) ÷20

=$270 per day

What are the resulting equations?
16x-12y - 4
15x+12y - 27
16x-12y=-4
15x+12y = 27
16x-12y=-4
15x-12y = 27

Answers

Answer:

16x -12y = 4

15x +12y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-3y = 1
5x+4y=9

We will use elimination to remove y from both equations.  

We can multiply the first equation by 4

16x -12y = 4

and multiply the second equation by 3

15x +12y = 27

This will eliminate y from the system of equations, leaving only x as a variable.

Answer:

16x - 12y = 4

15x + 12y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to eliminate the y terms, the equations must be manipulated in order to make the coefficient of the y-term equal 0 when the equations are added.

In this case, we are trying to make one equation with -3y and another equation with 4y result in a single equation with 0y.

We can do this by multiplying the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 3 to result in -12y and 12y. When these are added, the sum is 0y.

4 * (4x - 3y = 1) = 16x - 12y = 4

3 * (5x + 4y = 9) = 15x + 12y = 27

The resulting equations are

16x - 12y = 4

15x + 12y = 27

You are interested in conducting a survey at your school to determine if gender or ethnicity is related to perceptions about educational opportunity. The school has 1,800 students but you only have resources to interview 100. The student body is approximately equally divided between males and females. Twelve percent of the school's population is Asian American, 8% is African American, 10% is Native American, and 70% is Caucasian. You are interested in being able to generalize the results of your survey to the entire student body. Describe a technique for obtaining a sample of size 100 that would have a reasonable chance of producing results that could be generalized to the entire school. Suppose you sent the surveys out to classes and asked the students to complete them and return them to the main office. Would the returns be likely to be biased in any direction? If so, why? In what direction? Suppose you decide to conduct the survey by personal interview. Members of the student council, all of whom happen to be Caucasian, will conduct personal interviews with the selected students. One of the survey questions reads, "Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: All students, regardless of ethnicity, have equal opportunity to become part of student government." What potential bias is present in this question?

We can use cluster sampling here. In this case, the population is divided into sampling units or clusters, for example, zone within educational or geographical areas. Having divided the population into clusters, we can use simple random sampling to select the clusters to be examined. Consider Asian American as one cluster, African american as another cluster and so on. According to the size of the cluster randomly select individuals from each cluster for a total of 100 individuals.

Generally there would be bias in accordance to the differnce in ethnicity. Also if the selected students are in a younger, then the teachers opnion would play a very big role there.

The question itself is a source of bias and it seems to give an idea to the students to think in these lines. The question can be better worded to get a correct answer. Even if there is equal opportunity, some students may read the question and give a negative answer.
