Answer:

7 jars per box

Step-by-step explanation:

He now has 41 jars. How many did he have before his teacher gave him 6?

Well, 41-6=35. He had 35 jars before his teacher gave him more.

It says there was an equal amount of jars in each box. There are 5 boxes. Divide the total amount of jars (35) by the amount of boxes to find out how many jars are in each box.

35 jars / 5 boxes = 7 jars / box

Answer: 152

Step-by-step explanation:

305 - 153 = 152

The height of the Statue of Liberty itself, without the pedestal, is 152 feet. This is found by subtracting the pedestal height (153 feet) from the total height (305 feet).

The student is asked to determine the height of the Statue of Liberty excluding its pedestal. Given that the total height of the Statue of Liberty including its pedestal is labeled as 305 feet, and the total height is 153 feet more than the height of the statue alone, we can set up the following equation to solve for the height of the statue (let's call it S):

S + 153 = 305

To find the height of the Statue of Liberty without the pedestal, we subtract 153 from both sides of the equation:
S = 305 - 153
S = 152

Therefore, the height of the Statue of Liberty itself is 152 feet.

Take 68 x 2 since the side lengths are equal.

Given the properties of isosceles triangle, where congruent sides have equal opposite angles, and that the given angle ∠SUT = 68°, it implies that ∠TUV also equals 68°.

The question involves the principles of geometry, specifically the properties of angles and congruent lines. Given that ST≅SV and m∠SUT = 68°, it means that these two line segments are equal in length and that the angle of SUT is 68 degrees.

Since ST and SV are congruent in an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite these sides are equal. Hence, the measure of ∠SUT and ∠TUV are equal. We know m∠SUT = 68°, so therefore, m∠TUV = 68°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:The answer Is The Third One On The Right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

54.98 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram, the sides of the A-Frame are lengths AB and BC. The width of the cabin is length BC. We are to determine the measure of the angle at B, i.e. the angle between the two sides of the roof.

Using Cosine Rule:

[tex]b^2=a^2+c^2-2acCos B\\Cos B=\dfrac{b^2-a^2-c^2}{-2ac} \\B=arcCos(\dfrac{b^2-a^2-c^2}{-2ac} )\\a=26, b=24, c=26\\B=arcCos(\dfrac{24^2-26^2-26^2}{-2*26*26} )\\=arcCos 0.5739\\B=54.98^0[/tex]

The angle in between the two sides of the roof is 54.98 degrees.

To find the angle between the two sides of the roof of an A-frame cabin, we can use trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem. The angle is approximately 22.33°.

To determine the angle between the two sides of the roof of an A-frame cabin, we can use trigonometry. Since the sides of the roof are both 26 feet long and the base of the cabin is 24 feet wide, we can consider the A-frame cabin as a right triangle. The roof line forms the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the sides of the triangle represent the rafters of the A-frame roof.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the height of the triangle (which is the distance from the base of the cabin to the point where the roof meets): h^2 = 26^2 - 12^2 = 676 - 144 = 532.

Taking the square root of both sides gives us h ≈ 23.07 feet.

Now, we can determine the angle by using trigonometric functions.

The sine function relates the opposite side (the height) to the hypotenuse (the roof line). So, sin(θ) = h / 26, where θ is the angle we want to find. Solving for θ gives us θ ≈ 22.33°.

Answer:

a)

USL = 6.2 inches

LSL = 5.8 inches

b) Cp = 1.33

Cpk = 0.67

c)

Yes it meets all specifications

Step-by-step explanation:

The specification for a plastic handle calls for a length of 6.0 inches ± .2 inches. The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.05 inches. What are the upper and lower specification limits for this product? The process is known to operate at a mean thickness of 6.1 inches. What is the Cp and Cpk for this process?   Is this process capable of producing the desired part?

Given that:

Mean (μ) = 6.1 inches, Standard deviation (σ) = 0.05 inches and the length of the plastic handle is 6.0 inches ± .2

a) Since the length of the plastic handle is 6.0 inches ± .2  = (6 - 0.2, 6 + 0.2)

The Upper specification limits (USL) = 6 inches + 0.2 inches = 6.2 inches

The lower specification limits (LSL) = 6 inches - 0.2 inches = 5.8 inches

b) The Cp is given by the formula:

[tex]Cp=\frac{(USL-LSL)}{6\sigma} =\frac{(6.2-5.8)}{6*0.05} =1.33[/tex]

The Cpk is given by the formula:

c)

The upper specification limit lies about 3 standard deviations from the centerline, and the lower specification limit is further away, so practically all units will meet specifications

[tex]Cpk=min(\frac{USL-\mu}{3\sigma},\frac{\mu -LSL}{3\sigma})=min(\frac{6.2-6.1}{3*0.05},\frac{6.1-5.8}{3*0.05})=min(0.67,2)=0.67[/tex]

Final answer:

The upper specification limit for the plastic handle is 6.2 inches, and the lower specification limit is 5.8 inches, with these limits defining the acceptable range for the handle length.

Explanation:

The specification for a plastic handle is given as a length of 6.0 inches with a tolerance of ± 0.2 inches. This means the upper specification limit (USL) and the lower specification limit (LSL) are defined by adding and subtracting the tolerance to the target length respectively. The process standard deviation is 0.05 inches, but this does not affect the USL and LSL directly; it's a measure of the process variation.

The USL and LSL are calculated as follows:

These limits are the range within which the plastic handle lengths should fall according to the given specifications.

Answer:

a) There is no significant evidence to conclude that there there is significant difference in the mean amount of paint per 1-gallon cans and 1 gallon.

b) The p-value obtained = 0.076727 > significance level (0.01), hence, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant evidence to conclude that there there is significant difference in the mean amount of paint per 1-gallon cans and 1 gallon.

That is, the mean amount of paint per 1-gallon cans is not significantly different from 1 gallon.

c) The 99% confidence for the population mean amount of paint per 1-gallon cans is

(0.988, 0.999) in gallons.

d) The result of the 99% confidence interval does not agree with the result of the hypothesis testing performed in (a) because the right amount of paint in 1-gallon cans, 1 gallon, does not lie within this confidence interval obtained.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) This would be answered after solving part (b)

b) For hypothesis testing, the first thing to define is the null and alternative hypothesis.

The null hypothesis plays the devil's advocate and is always about the absence of significant difference between two proportions being compared. It usually contains the signs =, ≤ and ≥ depending on the directions of the test.

While, the alternative hypothesis takes the other side of the hypothesis; that there is indeed a significant difference between two proportions being compared. It usually contains the signs ≠, < and > depending on the directions of the test.

For this question, the null hypothesis is that there is no significant difference in the mean amount of paint per 1-gallon cans and 1 gallon. That is, the mean amount of paint per 1-gallon cans should be 1 gallon.

And the alternative hypothesis is that there is significant difference in the mean amount of paint per 1-gallon cans and 1 gallon. That is, the mean amount of paint per 1-gallon cans is not 1 gallon.

Mathematically,

The null hypothesis is

H₀: μ₀ = 1 gallon

The alternative hypothesis is

Hₐ: μ₀ ≠ 1 gallon

To do this test, we will use the z-distribution because we have information on the population standard deviation.

So, we compute the z-test statistic

z = (x - μ)/σₓ

x = the sample mean = 0.995 gallons

μ₀ = what the amount of paint should be; that is 1 gallon

σₓ = standard error = (σ/√n)

σ = standard deviation = 0.02 gallon

n = sample size = 50

σₓ = (0.02/√50) = 0.0028284271 = 0.00283 gallons.

z = (0.995 - 1) ÷ 0.00283

z = -1.77

checking the tables for the p-value of this z-statistic

p-value (for z = -1.77, at 0.01 significance level, with a two tailed condition) = 0.076727

The interpretation of p-values is that

When the (p-value > significance level), we fail to reject the null hypothesis and when the (p-value < significance level), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

So, for this question, significance level = 0.01

p-value = 0.076727

0.076727 > 0.01

Hence,

p-value > significance level

So, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant evidence to conclude that there there is significant difference in the mean amount of paint per 1-gallon cans and 1 gallon.

That is, the mean amount of paint per 1-gallon cans is not significantly different from 1 gallon.

c) To compute the 99% confidence interval for population mean amount of paint per 1-gallon paint cans.

Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample Mean) ± (Margin of error)

Sample Mean = 0.995 gallons

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error)

Critical value at 99% confidence interval is obtained from the z-tables because we have information on the population standard deviation.

Critical value = 2.58 (as obtained from the z-tables)

Standard error = σₓ = 0.00283 (already calculated in b)

99% Confidence Interval = (Sample Mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error)]

CI = 0.995 ± (2.58 × 0.00283)

CI = 0.995 ± 0.0073014

99% CI = (0.9876986, 0.9993014)

99% Confidence interval = (0.988, 0.999) in gallons.

d) The result of the 99% confidence interval does not agree with the result of the hypothesis testing performed in (a) because the right amount of paint in 1-gallon cans, 1 gallon, does not lie within this confidence interval obtained.

Hope this Helps!!!

By calculating a z-value and comparing it to the critical value at alpha = 0.01, evidence can be determined. The p-value, as extreme as the calculated one assuming the null hypothesis is true, can be used to interpret the findings. Additionally, a 99% confidence interval estimate can be constructed to provide a range of values that is 99% confident in containing the true population mean amount of paint.

a. To determine whether the mean amount of paint contained in 1-gallon cans is different from 1.0 gallon, we can perform a hypothesis test. The null hypothesis (H0) is that the mean amount is 1.0 gallon, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is that the mean amount is different from 1.0 gallon. We can perform a z-test using the formula Z = (sample mean - population mean) / (standard deviation / sqrt(sample size)). In this case, the sample mean is 0.995 gallon, the population mean is 1.0 gallon, the standard deviation is 0.02 gallon, and the sample size is 50. By calculating the z-value, we can compare it to the critical value at alpha = 0.01 to determine whether there is evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

b. The p-value is the probability of observing a test statistic as extreme as the one calculated, assuming the null hypothesis is true. In this case, we can calculate the p-value using the standard normal distribution table or a calculator. If the p-value is less than the significance level (alpha = 0.01), we reject the null hypothesis. The interpretation of the p-value is that there is strong evidence to suggest that the mean amount of paint is different from 1.0 gallon.

c. To construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the population mean amount of paint, we can use the formula CI = sample mean ± (z-score * (standard deviation / sqrt(sample size))). In this case, the z-score for a 99% confidence level is approximately 2.61. Plugging in the values, we can calculate the confidence interval, which gives us a range of values that we are 99% confident contains the true population mean amount of paint.

d. By comparing the results of (a) and (c), we can draw conclusions about whether the mean amount of paint is different from 1.0 gallon. If the null hypothesis is rejected in (a) and the 99% confidence interval in (c) does not include 1.0 gallon, then we can conclude that there is evidence to suggest that the mean amount is different from 1.0 gallon.

Answer:

The 95% CI is (6.93% , 7.47%)

The 99% CI is (6.85% , 7.55%)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to estimate two confidence intervals (95% and 99%) for the population mean 30-year fixed mortgage rate.

We know that the population standard deviation is 0.7%.

The sample mean is 7.2%. The sample size is n=26.

The z-score for a 95% CI is z=1.96 and for a 99% CI is z=2.58.

The margin of error for a 95% CI is

[tex]E=z\cdot \sigma/\sqrt{n}=1.96*0.7/\sqrt{26}=1.372/5.099=0.27[/tex]

Then, the upper and lower bounds are:

[tex]LL=\bar x-z\cdot\sigma/\sqrt{n}=7.2-0.27=6.93\\\\ UL=\bar x+z\cdot\sigma/\sqrt{n} =7.2+0.27=7.47[/tex]

Then, the 95% CI is

[tex]6.93\leq x\leq 7.47[/tex]

The margin of error for a 99% CI is

[tex]E=z\cdot \sigma/\sqrt{n}=2.58*0.7/\sqrt{26}=1.806/5.099=0.35[/tex]

Then, the upper and lower bounds are:

This gives you your function to be

[tex]\frac{5}{3}x^3+\frac{9}{2}x^2-7x+8\\[/tex]

To find f such that f'(x) = 5x² + 9x - 7 and f(0) = 8, integrate the given function and solve for the constant of integration using the given condition. The resulting equation is f(x) = (5/3)x³ + (9/2)x² - 7x + 8.

To find f such that f'(x) = 5x² + 9x - 7 and f(0) = 8, we need to integrate f'(x) to find the equation for f(x). Let's find the antiderivative of 5x² + 9x - 7, which is  (5/3)x³ + (9/2)x² - 7x + C. To determine the value of C, we can use the given condition f(0) = 8. Substituting x = 0 into the equation, we get 8 = (5/3)(0)³ + (9/2)(0)² - 7(0) + C. Solving for C, we find that C = 8. Therefore, the equation for f(x) is f(x) = (5/3)x³ + (9/2)x² - 7x + 8.

Answer:

Josephine is 6 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 * 5 = 30

12 * 3=  36

Josephine is currently 6 years old.

We are given two conditions about the ages of Josephine and her father.

Josephine’s father is 5 times as old as Josephine currently.

In 6 years, he will be only three times as old as she will be at that time.

Let's let 'J' represent Josephine's current age.

Then her father's current age would be 5J. In 6 years, Josephine will be J+6 and her father will be 5J+6.

According to the second condition, at that time her father's age will be three times Josephine's age.

So, we set up the equation 5J+6 = 3(J+6).

To find Josephine's current age, we solve the equation:

5J + 6 = 3J + 18

Subtract 3J from both sides:

2J + 6 = 18

Now subtract 6 from both sides:

2J = 12

And divide both sides by 2:

J = 6

Therefore, Josephine is currently 6 years old.

We are 95% confident that the proportional difference lies between the [0.010444,0.05576] interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between males and females with respect to how they feel about this issue:

Answer:

Therefore profit function is increasing on the interval (0,3200)

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost function of the manufacturer C(x) is given as:

[TeX]C(x)= 0.17x^{2}-0.00016x^{3}[/TeX]

The Revenue function is also given as:

[TeX]R(x)= 0.362x^{2}-0.0002x^{3}[/TeX]

Profit=Revenue-Cost

Therefore:

P(x)=R(x)-C(x)

[TeX]= 0.362x^{2}-0.0002x^{3}-[0.17x^{2}-0.00016x^{3}][/TeX]

[TeX]= 0.362x^{2}-0.0002x^{3}-0.17x^{2}+0.00016x^{3}[/TeX]

The Profit Function, [TeX]P(x)= 0.192x^{2}-0.00004x^{3}[/TeX]

To determine the point where the function is increasing, we take the derivative and examine it's critical points.

The derivative of the profit function is:

[TeX]P^{'}(x)= 0.384x-0.00012x^{2}[/TeX]

Set the derivative equal to zero.

[TeX]0.384x-0.00012x^{2}=0[/TeX]

[TeX]x(0.384x-0.00012x)=0[/TeX]

x=0 or [TeX]0.384-0.00012x=0[/TeX]

x=0 or [TeX]0.384=0.00012x[/TeX]

x=0 or x=3200

Now let's choose 2000 and 4000 as test points.

[TeX]P^{'}(2000)= 0.384(2000)-0.00012(2000)^{2}=288[/TeX]

[TeX]P^{'}(4000)= 0.384(4000)-0.00012(4000)^{2}=-384[/TeX]

Therefore profit function is increasing on the interval (0,3200)

Answer:

The is profit function is increasing on (0, 3200).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

C(x) = 0.17x² - 0.00016x³

R(x) = 0.362x² - 0.0002x³

The profit function is given by

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = (0.362x² - 0.0002x³) - (0.17x² - 0.00016x³)

P(x) = 0.362x² - 0.0002x³ - 0.17x² + 0.00016x³

P(x) = 0.192x² - 0.00004x³

The derivative of the profit function is given by

P'(x) = 0.384x - 0.00012x²

Determine the critical number of P(x) to get interval where the profit function is increasing,

Set P'(x) = 0

0.384x - 0.00012x² = 0

x(0.384 - 0.00012x) = 0

x = 0 or 0.384 - 0.00012x = 0

0.384 - 0.00012x = 0

x = 0.384/0.00012 = 3200

Therefore the is profit function is increasing on (0, 3200)

Answer:

(-7, 9]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you want an answer in interval notation:

W is less than or equal to 9 >> [tex]w \leq 9[/tex]

W is greater than- 7 >> [tex]-7 < w[/tex]

Combine the two >> [tex]-7 < w \leq 9[/tex]

So in interval notation, (-7, 9]

Answer:

(a) H1: μ < 530. Reject H1 if tcalc > –1.753

(b) t calc = –1.6. There is not enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the manufacturer of an airport baggage scanning machine claims it can handle an average of 530 bags per hour.

A sample of 16 randomly chosen hours with a mean of 510 and a standard deviation of 50 is given.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = average bags an airport baggage scanning machine can handle

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu \geq[/tex] 530 bags     {means that an airport baggage scanning machine can handle an average of more than or equal to 530 bags per hour}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] < 530 bags     {means that an airport baggage scanning machine can handle an average of less than 530 bags per hour}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                         T.S. =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean = 510

             s = sample standard deviation = 50

            n = sample of hours = 16

So, test statistics  =  [tex]\frac{510-530}{\frac{50}{\sqrt{16} } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_1_5[/tex]

                              =  -1.60

The value of t test statistics is -1.60.

Now, at 0.05 significance level the t table gives critical value of -1.753 at 15 degree of freedom for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical values of t as -1.60 > -1.753, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that an airport baggage scanning machine can handle an average of more than or equal to 530 bags per hour.

Answer:

a) The probability that exactly 41 of the murders were cleared is 0.0013

b) The probability that between 36 and 38 of the murders, inclusive, were cleared is 0.0809.

c) Yes, it would be unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p=62% considered as the probability of having a commited that is cleared by arres or exceptional means. We assume that choosing each of the 50 commited is independent of each choose. Then, let X be the number of cleared. In this case, X is distributed as a binomial random variable. Recall that, in this case,

[tex] P(X=k) = \binom{50}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{50-k}[/tex] for[tex]0\leq k \leq 50[/tex], with p=0.62

a) We have that

[tex] P(X=40) = \binom{50}{40} p^{40}(1-p)^{50-40} =0.001273487  [/tex]

b) We are asked for the following

[tex]P(36\leq X \leq 38) = P(X=36)+P(X=37)+P(X=38) = 0.080888936

[/tex] (The specific calculation is omitted.

c) We will check for the following probability [tex]P(X\leq 19)[/tex]

[tex]P(X\leq 19 ) = \sum_{k=0}^{19} P(X=k) = 0.000499222 [/tex]

Given that the probability of this event is really close to 0, it would be unusual if less than 19 murders are cleared.

The question deals with the application of binomial probability distribution in a real life situation involving crime investigation. The probability values for a certain range or exact number of cleared murders can be calculated by using the binomial probability formula. It would be statistically unusual for fewer than 19 murders to be cleared given a 62% clearance rate.

This question can be approached using the binomial distribution, where the number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiments (in this case, the number of murders being cleared) follows a binomial distribution.

a. The probability that exactly 41 of the murders were cleared can be found by calculating the binomial probability. This can be done by using the formula: P(X=k) = C(n, k) * (p^k) * ((1-p)^(n-k)). In this case, n=50 (number of trials/murders), k=41 (number of successes/murders cleared), and p=0.62 (probability of success/clearing a murder). You need to substitute these values into the formula and calculate the value.

b. Finding the probability that between 36 and 38 murders were cleared involves the same process, but you need to calculate for k=36, 37, and 38, and then add the results together to get the total probability.

c. If fewer than 19 of the murders were cleared, it would be statistically unusual considering the 62% clearance rate according to the survey. The reasoning being that, given a 62% probability, the expectation would be significantly higher.
