Determine whether the following possible responses should be classified as interval, nominal or ordinal data.

? Ordinal Nominal Interval 1. Heidi's favorite brand of tennis balls

? Ordinal Nominal Interval 2. Number of cars in a parking lot

? Ordinal Nominal Interval 3. Amount of time you spend per week on your homework

? Ordinal Nominal Interval 4. Whether you are a US citizen

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Nominal data 2. Responses here can't be classified as interval or nominal or ordinal data 3.  Responses here can't be classified as interval or nominal or ordinal data  4. nominal

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Heidi's favorite  brand of tenis balls is only a "label" in the set of brands that can be regarded. So, because we are dealing with names or "labels" we should classify responses here as nominal data.

2. Possible values for the number of cars in a parking lot are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,... Besides we can say that 4 cars is twice than 2 cars, and exist a true zero. We can't say that responses here correspond to interval data, in fact, we can say that responses here correspond to the kind of data called ratio data.

3. You can spend zero hours in your homework, so, there exists an absolute zero, besides, to say that you spend 4 hours in your homework is twice that if you spend 2 hours in your homework is meaningful. We can't classify responses here as interval data or ordinal or nominal. We can classify responses here as ratio data.

4. There are only two different responses here, i.e., You are a US citizen or You are not a US citizen. We are dealing with "labels" again, and in general, we can't say there is a better response or stablish an order.

Answer 2

Final answer:

The correct classifications are: Heidi's favorite brand of tennis balls (Nominal), Number of cars in a parking lot (Nominal, with an explanation), Amount of time spent on homework per week (Interval), and Whether you are a US citizen (Nominal).

Explanation:

To determine whether the listed responses should be classified as interval, nominal, or ordinal data, it is essential to understand what each type of data signifies. Nominal data are categories without any order, ordinal data have a meaningful order or ranking but not necessarily consistent differences between rankings, and interval data have a consistent scale and order, but no true zero point.

Nominal: Heidi's favorite brand of tennis balls. This is a category (brand) without a numerical value or order.

Nominal: Number of cars in a parking lot. Although it involves numbers, it is essentially counting the frequency of an item, which falls under ratio data. However, as the question specifically asks among nominal, ordinal, and interval, the correct identification in this context is not provided.

Interval: Amount of time you spend per week on your homework. Time has a consistent scale and can be ordered, but there is no true zero time (you cannot have negative time).

Nominal: Whether you are a US citizen. This is a categorical variable with no inherent order.

The brain volumes ​(cm cubed​) of 50 brains vary from a low of 904 cm cubed to a high of 1488 cm cubed. Use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard deviation s and compare the result to the exact standard deviation of 175.5 cm cubed​, assuming the estimate is accurate if it is within 15 cm cubed

Answers

Answer:

standard  deviation is 146 cm

Computed value of standard deviation is not near to original value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

n is number of brains = 50

low volume  = 904 cm

high volume of brain = 1488 cm

As we know that range is 4 times the standard deviation so we have[tex]Range = 4\times standard\ deviation[/tex]

R = HIGH -  LOW

  = 1488 - 904

  = 584

Therefore we have

standard deviation[tex] = \frac{R}{4}[/tex]

                                [tex]= \frac{584}{4}[/tex]

standard  deviation is 146 cm

Original deviation is given as 175.5 cm

Computed value of standard deviation is not near to original value.

A company asks an investor for an investment of $950,000 in exchange for 25% equity in the business. What is the implied valuation of the business?

Answers

Answer:

$2,850,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Investment amount asked for by the company = $950,000

Exchange of equity = 25%

Now,

Equity exchanged = [tex]\frac{\textup{Amount invested}}{\textup{Post money evaluation}}\times100[/tex]

or

Post money evaluation = [tex]\frac{\textup{950,000}}{\textup{25}}\times100[/tex]

or

Post money evaluation = $3,800,000

Therefore,

Implied valuation = Post money evaluation - Amount invested

or

Implied valuation = $3,800,000 - $950,000 = $2,850,000

An IV fluid contains 75 mg of Drug B in 500 ml of the IV fluid. If the patient needs 300 mg of this medication, how much of this IV fluid should be infused

Answers

Answer:

2000ml = 2L of this IV fluid should be infused.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a simple rule of three, in which the relationship between the measures is direct, which means that there is a cross multiplication.

The problem states that each 75 mg of the medication contains 500 ml of IV fluid. How many ml of IV fluid are there in 300 mg of the medication?

So

75mg - 500ml

300 mg - x ml

[tex]75x = 300*500[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{300*500}{75}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4*500[/tex]

[tex]x = 2000[/tex]ml

2000ml = 2L of this IV fluid should be infused.

To administer 300 mg of Drug B, given that 75 mg is in 500 ml of IV fluid, you need infuse 2000 ml of the IV fluid. This was calculated using proportional relationships based on the concentration of the drug in the fluid.

To determine how much IV fluid should be infused to provide the patient with 300 mg of Drug B, we can use a simple proportion based on the concentration of the drug in the IV fluid.

We know that 75 mg of Drug B is contained in 500 ml of the IV fluid.This corresponds to a concentration of 75 mg/500 ml or 0.15 mg/ml.To find out how many milliliters (ml) are needed for 300 mg, we set up the following proportion:

0.15 mg/ml = 300 mg / X ml

Solving for X, we get:

X = 300 mg / 0.15 mg/ml

X = 2000 ml

Thus, 2000 ml of the IV fluid should be infused to provide the patient with 300 mg of Drug B.

If f(x) = c is constant for all x in R, why lim x-> infinite (gap P) no equal to 0

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}C=C[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that f(x)=c=Constant for all x in R

We have to find that why  f(x) not equal to zero when x approaches to zero.

[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}f(x)[/tex]

[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}C=C[/tex] not equal to zero

We are given that function which is constant for all x in R.

When x approaches then the value of function does not change. it remain same for all x in R because function is constant.

Hence, when x tends to infinity then f(x) is not equal to zero.

The solution for this differential equation is [tex]y=\sqrt{-2cos(x)+6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This differential equation [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{sin(x)}{y}[/tex] is a separable First-Order ordinary differential equation.

We know this because a first-order differential equation is separable if and only if it can be written as

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=f(x)g(y)[/tex] where f and g are known functions.

And we have

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{sin(x)}{y}\\ \frac{dy}{dx}=sin(x)\frac{1}{y}[/tex]

To solve this differential equation we need to integrate both sides

[tex]y\cdot dy=sin(x)\cdot dx\\ \int\limits {y\cdot dy}= \int\limits {sin(x)\cdot dx}[/tex]

[tex]\int\limits {y\cdot dy}=\frac{y^{2} }{2} + C[/tex]

[tex]\int\limits {sin(x) \cdot dx}=-cos(x) + C[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y^{2} }{2} + C=-cos(x) + C[/tex]

We can make a new constant of integration [tex]C_{1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y^{2} }{2}=-cos(x) + C_{1}[/tex]

We need to isolate y

[tex]\frac{y^{2} }{2}=-cos(x) + C_{1}\\y^2=-2cos(x)+2*C_{1}\\\mathrm{For\:}y^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}y=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\y=\sqrt{-2cos(x)+c_{1} } \\y=-\sqrt{-2cos(x)+c_{1} }[/tex]

We have the initial conditions y(0)=2 so we can find the value of the constant of integration for [tex]y=\sqrt{-2cos(x)+c_{1} } [/tex]

[tex]2=\sqrt{-2\cos \left(0\right)+c_1}\\2= \sqrt{-2+c_1} \\c_1=6[/tex]

For [tex]y=-\sqrt{-2cos(x)+c_{1} } [/tex] there is not solution for [tex]c_{1}[/tex] in the domain of real numbers.

The solution for this differential equation is [tex]y=\sqrt{-2cos(x)+6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because:

8 increased by the product of a number and 4 is at most 20.

8      +                           p                               +    4    = 20

We are trying to find p.

8 +4= 12

20 - 12= 8

So I believe the answer is 8.

(If the answer is wrong, plz tell me in the comments)

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

eight increased by the product of a number and 4 is at most 20

these implies

8 + a x4 = 20

a is the number whose product with 4 is increased by eight to give at most 20

8 + a x4 = 20

8 + 4a = 20

subtract 8 from both sides

4a = 20 -8

4a= 12

divide both sides by 4

a = 12/4 = 3

The correct option is B) The study is an observational study because the survey subjects were not given any treatment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

In a study sponsored by a​ company, 12,543 people were asked what contributes most to their happiness, and 87% of the respondents said that it was their job.

Observational study is the study in which observer only observe the subjects, and measure variables of interest without allocating treatments to subjects.

Experiment study is the study in which the researchers are applying treatments to experimental units in the research, then the effect of the treatments on the experimental units is observed.

Now consider the provided statement.

The research is based on information that nobody manipulates any experimental variables.

Hence, the study is an observational study where no treatment is given.

Thus, the correct option is B) The study is an observational study because the survey subjects were not given any treatment.

Consider a nuclear power plant that produces 1200 MW of power and has a conversion efficiency of 34 percent (that is, for each unit of fuel energy used, the plant produces 0.34 units of electrical energy. Assuming continuous operation, determine the amount of nuclear fuel consumed by the plant per year.

Answers

Answer:

The amount of nuclear fuel required is 1.24 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the principle of mass energy equivalence we know that energy generated by mass 'm' in an nuclear plant is

[tex]E=m\cdot c^2[/tex]

where

'c' is the speed of light in free space

Since the power plant operates at 1200 MW thus the total energy produced in 1 year equals

[tex]E=1200\times 10^6\times 3600\times 24\times 365=3.8\times 10^{16}Joules[/tex]

Thus using the energy produced in the energy equivalence we get

[tex]3.8\times 10^{16}=mass\times (3\times 10^{8})^2\\\\\therefore mass=\frac{3.8\times 10^{16}}{9\times 10^{16}}=0.422kg[/tex]

Now since the efficiency of conversion is 34% thus the fuel required equals

[tex]mass_{required}=\frac{0.422}{0.34}=1.24kg[/tex]

Travis,Jessica ,and Robin are collecting donations for the school band.Travis wants to collect 20% more than Jessica,and Robin wants to collect 35% more than Travis.If the students meet their goals and Travis collects $4,how much money did they collect in all?

Answers

Answer:

They collected $12.73 in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a simple system of equations.

I am going to say that x is the quantity that Travis collects, y the quantity that Jessica collects and z the quantity that Robin collects.

The problems asks how much money did they collect in all?

So [tex]T = x + y + z[/tex]

Solution

The problem states that Travis wants to collect 20% more than Jessica, so:

[tex]100%x = (100%+ 20%)y[/tex]

[tex]100%x = 120%y[/tex]

[tex]x = 1.2y[/tex]

Robin wants to collect 35% more than Travis, so:

[tex]100%z = (100%+35%)x[/tex]

[tex]100%z = 135%x[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.35x[/tex]

Travis collects $4, so [tex]x = 4[/tex]. So:

[tex]x = 1.2y[/tex]

[tex]1.2y = 4[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{4}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]y = 3.33[/tex]

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

[tex]z = 1.35x = 1.35(4) = 5.40[/tex]

The total is:

[tex]T = x + y + z = 4 + 3.33 + 5.40 = $12.73[/tex]

They collected $12.73 in all.

Fix a matrix A and a vector b. Suppose that y is any solution of the homogeneous system Ax=0 and that z is any solution of the system Ax=b. Show that y+z is also a solution of the system Ax=b.

Answers

Answer:

Since y is a solution of the homogeneus system then satisfies Ay=0.

Since z is a solution of the system Ax=b then satisfies Az=b.

Now, we will show that A(y+z)=b.

Observe that A(y+z)=Ay+Az by properties of the product of matrices.

By hypotesis Ay=0 and Az=b.

Then A(y+z)=Ay+Az=0+b=b.

Then A(y+z)=b, this show that y+z is a solution of the system Ax=b.

Find an equation of the line L that passes through the point (-8, 4) and satisfies the given condition. The x-intercept of L is -10.

Answers

Final answer:

To find the equation of a line that passes through a given point and has a given x-intercept, we can use the point-slope form of a line.

Explanation:

To find the equation of a line that passes through the point (-8, 4) and has an x-intercept of -10, we can use the slope-intercept form of a line, which is y = mx + b.

First, let's find the slope of the line using the given information. The x-intercept represents the point where the line crosses the x-axis, so if the x-intercept is -10, we know that the point (-10, 0) is on the line.

Using the formula for slope, which is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), we can calculate the slope of the line as (0 - 4) / (-10 - (-8)) = -4 / -2 = 2.

Now, we can use the point-slope form of a line, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Substituting the values (-8, 4) and m = 2 into the equation, we have y - 4 = 2(x - (-8)).

Simplifying the equation, we get y - 4 = 2x + 16.

Finally, isolating y, we arrive at the equation of the line: y = 2x + 20.

If $5000 is deposited into an account which pays 6% compounded
monthly, approximately how much money will be in the account at the
end of 8 years?

Answers

Answer:

The amount in the account at the end of 8 years is about $8070.71.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Principal = $5000

Interest rate = 6% = 0.06 compounded monthly

Time = 8 years

The formula for amount after compound interest is

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

where,

P is principal.

r is rate of interest.

n is number of times interest compounded in a year.

t is time in years.

Substitute P=5000, r=0.06, n=12 and t=8 in the above formula.

[tex]A=5000(1+\frac{0.06}{12})^{(12)(8)}[/tex]

[tex]A=5000(1.005)^{96}[/tex]

[tex]A=5000(1.61414270846)[/tex]

[tex]A=8070.7135423[/tex]

[tex]A\approx 8070.71[/tex]

Therefore the amount in the account at the end of 8 years is about $8070.71.

A population is a number that describes an entire group. A sample is a number that describes a sub-collection of that group. A sample is the complete group under study. A population is a sub-collection of members selected from the sample A sample is a group selected in such a way that each member has a known chance of being in the group. A population is the larger group the sample represents. A population is the complete group under study. A sample is the sub-collection of members of the population from which data are actually collected.

A population is the entire group of interest in a researcher's study, while a sample is a subset of this group from which data is collected. The aim is for the sample to be representative of the population to accurately draw generalizations. Effective sampling strategies and recruitment are vital for this representation.

To understand the concepts of population and sample in the context of statistics, we can differentiate between the two. Population refers to the entire group that is the focus of a researcher's study, which can be a broad group, like all adults over the age of 18 in the United States, or more specific, such as 'mid-season maturity corn plants on irrigated farms near Grand Island, Nebraska.'

A sample, on the other hand, is a subset of the population from which researchers actually collect data. It represents a smaller group selected to draw conclusions about the population. The validity of these conclusions often depends on how well the sample represents the population, aiming for the sample characteristics to match those of the population. For instance, if surveying the relative proportion of cars to trucks driving down a street, a sample observed during an uncharacteristic time of day may not provide a representative view of the overall traffic pattern.

In research, sampling strategies and recruitment techniques are important to ensure that the sample accurately reflects the population. For example, choosing individuals to participate in a study so that each has a known chance of being included makes for a better representation of the population. Researchers then analyze the sample data and attempt to generalize their findings to the entire population.

Ms. Jones deposited ​$100 at the end of each month for 10 years into a savings account earning 6​% interest compounded monthly.​ However, she deposited an additional​ $1000 at the end of the first year. How much money was in the account at the end of the tenth ​year?

Answers

Answer:

$1895.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Principle for the first year = $100

rate of interest = 6% compounded monthly

thus,

rate per month, r = \frac{\etxtup{6}}{\textup{12}}= 0.5% = 0.005

Total time = 10 year\

Now,

for the first year

number of months, n = 12

Amount at the end of first year = Principle × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

on substituting the values, we get

Amount at the end of first year = 100 × ( 1 + 0.005 )¹²

or

Amount at the end of first year = $106.17

Therefore,

The principle amount for the consecutive years will be

= $1000 + Amount at the end of first year

=  $1000 + $106.17 = $1106.17

Thus, for the rest 9 years

n = 9 × 12 = 108

Principle = $1106.17

Final amount after the end of 10th year = Principle × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

or

Final amount after the end of 10th year = $1106.17 × ( 1 + 0.005 )¹⁰⁸

or

Final amount after the end of 10th year = $1895.64

1.How much will $5,000 accumulate in 5 years if it earns 6% per annum for the first 3 years and then 8% per annum for the next 2 years?

Answers

Answer:  Amount after 5 years become $5937.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Principal amount = $5000

Time period = 5 years

Rate of interest for 3 years = 6%

Rate of interest for 2 years = 8%

so, Amount becomes

[tex]Amount=5000(1+\dfrac{6}{1000})^3(1+\dfrac{8}{100})^2\\\\Amount=5000(1+0.006)^3(1+0.08)^2\\\\Amount=5000(1.006)^3(1.08)^2\\\\Amount=\$5937.60[/tex]

Hence, Amount after 5 years become $5937.60.

If we assume the population of Grand Rapids is growing at a rate of approximately 4% per decade, we can model the population function with the formula
P( t ) = 181843 ( 1.04 )^(t / 10).
Use this formula to compute the average rate of change of the population on the intervals [ 5 , 10 ] , [ 5 , 9 ] , [ 5 , 8 ] , [ 5 , 7 ] , and [ 5 , 6 ] .

Answers

Answer:

The average rate of change of the population on the intervals [ 5 , 10 ] , [ 5 , 9 ] , [ 5 , 8 ] , [ 5 , 7 ] , and [ 5 , 6 ]  are 734.504, 733.06, 731.62, 730.185 and 728.75 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]P(t)=181843(1.04)^{(\frac{t}{10})}[/tex]

where, P(t) is population after t years.

At t=5,

[tex]P(5)=181843(1.04)^{(\frac{5}{10})}=185444.20[/tex]

At t=6,

[tex]P(6)=181843(1.04)^{(\frac{6}{10})}=186172.95[/tex]

At t=7,

[tex]P(7)=181843(1.04)^{(\frac{7}{10})}=186904.57[/tex]

At t=8,

[tex]P(8)=181843(1.04)^{(\frac{8}{10})}=187639.06[/tex]

At t=9,

[tex]P(9)=181843(1.04)^{(\frac{9}{10})}=188376.44[/tex]

At t=10,

[tex]P(10)=181843(1.04)^{(\frac{10}{10})}=189116.72[/tex]

The rate of change of P(t) on the interval [tex][x_1,x_2][/tex] is

[tex]m=\frac{P(x_2)-P(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Using the above formula, the average rate of change of the population on the intervals [ 5 , 10 ] is

[tex]m=\frac{P(10)-P(5)}{10-5}=\frac{189116.72-185444.20}{5}=734.504[/tex]

The average rate of change of the population on the intervals [ 5 , 9 ] is

[tex]m=\frac{P(9)-P(5)}{9-5}=\frac{188376.44-185444.20}{4}=733.06[/tex]

The average rate of change of the population on the intervals [ 5 , 8 ] is

[tex]m=\frac{P(8)-P(5)}{8-5}=\frac{187639.06-185444.20}{3}=731.62[/tex]

The average rate of change of the population on the intervals [ 5 , 7 ] is

[tex]m=\frac{P(7)-P(5)}{7-5}=\frac{186904.57-185444.20}{2}=730.185[/tex]

The average rate of change of the population on the intervals [ 5 , 6 ] is

[tex]m=\frac{P(6)-P(5)}{6-5}=\frac{186172.95-185444.20}{1}=728.75[/tex]

Therefore the average rate of change of the population on the intervals [ 5 , 10 ] , [ 5 , 9 ] , [ 5 , 8 ] , [ 5 , 7 ] , and [ 5 , 6 ]  are 734.504, 733.06, 731.62, 730.185 and 728.75 respectively.

3p - 5 = 19
Answer when solved??

Answers

Answer: P=8

Step-by-step explanation:

3p-5=19

U turn -5 to +5

Then u add 5 to both sides, -5 and 19

3p-5=19

+5=+5

-5 and +5 cancel each other out so know it’s

3p=24

Because 19 plus 5 is 24

Now u have to get the variable by itself by dividing 3 on both sides of the equal sign 3p and 24

3 and 3 cancel each other out so now you only have p=24 but then 24 divided 3 is 8
