Answer:

Attached

Step-by-step explanation:

On a cartessian plane, we take four points as shown. Point A has coordinates as (4, 0) while point B is (32, 0). Since the y cordinates are zero, don't change, only x change. Change in x coordinates is 32-4=28 units.

Point C is (32, 12) where x has not changed when compared to point B but y changes by 12-0=12 units

Therefore, the diagram is triangle whose length is 28 units while width is 12 units.

Answer:

H₀: p₁ - p₂ < 0.

Hₐ: p₁ - p₂ > 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we need to determine if there is a higher incidence of smoking among women than among men in a neighborhood.

An experiment can be performed involving collecting two samples of men and women and computing the proportion of men and women smokers in the neighborhood. Then these two sample proportions can be used to determine which proportion is higher.

We are computing proportions of men and women smokers instead of the mean number of men and women smokers because the we need to determine the  incidence of smoking among men and women, i.e. the occurrence or frequency or rate of men and women smokers.

So, a two proportion test can be applied to determine whether the proportion of women smokers is higher than men.

The population proportion of women in the neighborhood is represented by p₁ and the  population proportion of men in the neighborhood is represented by p₂.

The hypothesis can be defined as:

H₀: The proportion of women smokers is not higher than men, i.e. p₁ - p₂ < 0.

Hₐ: The proportion of women smokers is higher than men, i.e. p₁ - p₂ > 0.

Final answer:

The null hypothesis (H0) should be P1 - P2 ≥ 0, indicating no higher incidence of smoking among women, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) should be P1 - P2 < 0, suggesting a higher incidence of smoking among women.

Explanation:

When conducting a hypothesis test to determine if there's a higher incidence of smoking among women than among men in a neighborhood, you would use two hypotheses: the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (Ha). Since we are looking to find if the incidence is higher in women, the null hypothesis should reflect there is no difference or that the incidence in women is less than or equal to the incidence in men. Therefore, the correct setup using population proportions (P1 for men and P2 for women) would be:

The null hypothesis statement is that the proportion of women who smoke is less than or equal to the proportion of men who smoke. The alternative hypothesis is what you intend to prove, which is that more women smoke than men in the neighborhood, hence P1 - P2 < 0. This would be considered a left-tailed test.

Based on the experimental design and the data collected the statistical test that should be used is the correlation coefficient.

The statistical tests are tests that are used by researchers to determine the progress of a set process and make a quantitative decision during analysis of test results.

Example of statistical tests include the following:

The correlation coefficient which is a type of statistical test is used to assess the strength and direction of the linear relationships between pairs of variables.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that [tex] R(x) = 108\sqrt[]{x}[/tex] is the revenue for having x employees.

[tex]R(12)-R(11) = 108\sqrt[]{12}-108\sqrt[]{11} = 15.93[/tex] REcall that is amount represents the revenue that having one extra employee would have.

We have that the salary of the 12th employee would be 26000. One criteria to define if it's a good idea to hire the 12th employee is to check if the profit for having an extra employee is positive. We will take the revenue of the extra employee minus the cost and check if it is positiv. Then,

[tex](108\sqrt[]{12}-108\sqrt[]{11})\text{(revenue for 12 employees)}-26000\text{(cost for the 12th employee} =-25984<0[/tex]

Since it is a negative amount, this means that it would be more expensive to have one extra employee than the revenue it would generate. Therefore, it won't be suitable to hire the 12th employee

Answer:

Test statistics = 3.74

P-value = 0.0001

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an experiment to compare the tension bond strength of polymer latex modified mortar to that of unmodified mortar resulted in x = 18.11 kg f/[tex]cm^{2}[/tex] for the modified mortar (m = 42) and y = 16.83 kg f/[tex]cm^{2}[/tex] for the unmodified mortar (n = 30).

Assume that the bond strength distributions are both normal and assuming that σ1 = 1.6 and σ2 = 1.3.

Let [tex]\mu_1[/tex] = true average tension bond strengths for the modified mortars

      [tex]\mu_2[/tex] = true average tension bond strengths for the unmodified mortars

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu_1-\mu_2=0[/tex]  or  [tex]\mu_1=\mu_2[/tex]    {means that true average tension bond strengths for the modified and unmodified mortars are same}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_a[/tex] : [tex]\mu_1-\mu_2>0[/tex]  or  [tex]\mu_1>\mu_2[/tex]    {means that the true average tension bond strengths for the modified mortars is greater than that for unmodified mortars}

The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample z test statistics as we know about population standard deviations;

               T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{(x-y)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^{2} }{m}+\frac{\sigma_2^{2} }{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, x = sample mean tension bond strengths for the modified mortars = 18.11 kg f/[tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

         y = sample mean tension bond strengths for the unmodified mortars = 16.83 kg f/[tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

         [tex]\sigma_1[/tex] = population standard deviation for modified mortars = 1.6

         [tex]\sigma_2[/tex] = population standard deviation for unmodified mortars = 1.3

         m = sample of modified mortars = 42

         n = sample of unmodified mortars = 30

So, test statistics  =  [tex]\frac{(18.11-16.83)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{1.6^{2} }{42}+\frac{1.3^{2} }{30} } }[/tex]

                               =  3.74

Now, P-value is given by the following formula;

         P-value = P(Z > 3.74) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 3.74)  

                                            = 1 - 0.9999 = 0.0001

Here, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 3.74 in the z table which gives an area of 0.9999.

To test the hypothesis H0: μ1 − μ2 = 0 versus Ha: μ1 − μ2 > 0 at level 0.01, calculate the test statistic and the P-value. The test statistic is Z = (x - y) / √((σ1² / m) + (σ2² / n)). Substituting the values gives Z = 1.278. The P-value is approximately 0.1019.

To test the hypothesis H0: μ1 − μ2 = 0 versus Ha: μ1 − μ2 > 0 at level 0.01, we calculate the test statistic and the P-value. The test statistic is given by:

Z = (x - y) / √((σ1² / m) + (σ2² / n))

where x = 18.11, y = 16.83, σ1 = 1.6, σ2 = 1.3, m = 42, and n = 30.

Substituting the values, we get Z = (18.11 - 16.83) / √((1.6² / 42) + (1.3² / 30)).

Calculating Z gives Z = 1.278. To determine the P-value, we find the area to the right of Z in the standard normal distribution. The P-value is the probability that Z > 1.278. Consulting a Z-table or using a calculator, we find the P-value to be approximately 0.1019.

Answer:

The best point estimate for the mean monthly food budget for all residents of the local apartment complex is $419.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Universal Set, n(U)=2092

[tex]n(S)=1232\\n(F)=879\\n(R)=114[/tex]

[tex]n(S\cap R)=23\\n(S\cap F)=103\\n(F\cap R)=14[/tex]

Let the number who take all three subjects, [tex]n(S\cap F \cap R)=x[/tex]

Note that in the Venn Diagram, we have subtracted [tex]n(S\cap F \cap R)=x[/tex] from each of the intersection of two sets.

The next step is to determine the number of students who study only each of the courses.

[tex]n(S\:only)=1232-[103-x+x+23-x]=1106+x\\n(F\: only)=879-[103-x+x+14-x]=762+x\\n(R\:only)=114-[23-x+x+14-x]=77+x[/tex]

These values are substituted in the second Venn diagram

Adding up all the values

2092=[1106+x]+[103-x]+x+[23-x]+[762+x]+[14-x]+[77+x]

2092=2085+x

x=2092-2085

x=7

The number of students who have taken courses in all three subjects, [tex]n(S\cap F \cap R)=7[/tex]

Using the principle of Inclusion-Exclusion, we find that 7 students have taken courses in all three languages: Spanish, French, and Russian.

Finding the Number of Students Taking All Three Language Courses

We can solve this problem using the principle of Inclusion-Exclusion. Let:
S = number of students taking Spanish
F = number of students taking French
R = number of students taking Russian
SF = number of students taking both Spanish and French
SR = number of students taking both Spanish and Russian
FR = number of students taking both French and Russian
SFR = number of students taking all three languages.

From the given data:

The principle of Inclusion-Exclusion states:

Total = S + F + R - SF - SR - FR + SFR
2092 = 1232 + 879 + 114 - 103 - 23 - 14 + SFR

Solving for SFR:

2092 = 2085 + SFR

Thus, SFR = 2092 - 2085 = 7

Therefore, 7 students have taken courses in all three languages: Spanish, French, and Russian.

[tex]5.5+2.701\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{42}}=5.96[/tex]    

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (5.04;5.96)

And the best option would be:

a. 5.04 and 5.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

[tex]\bar X=5.5[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample  

[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.1 represent the sample standard deviation

n=42 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

[tex]df=n-1=42-1=41[/tex]

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.005[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,41)".And we see that [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=2.701[/tex]

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

[tex]5.5-2.701\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{42}}=5.04[/tex]    

[tex]5.5+2.701\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{42}}=5.96[/tex]    

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (5.04;5.96)

Final answer:

The probability that exactly 3 people out of a sample of 20 Americans are afraid of being alone in a house at night, given that 5% of Americans have this fear, is approximately 13.98%.

Explanation:

The question asks for the probability that exactly 3 people in a sample of 20 Americans are afraid of being alone in a house at night, given that 5% of Americans have this fear. This can be solved using the binomial probability formula, which is P(X = k) = C(n, k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k), where n is the number of trials, k is the number of successful trials, p is the probability of success on an individual trial, and C(n, k) is the number of combinations of n items taken k at a time.

Plugging in the values, we get P(X = 3) = C(20, 3) * 0.05³* 0.95¹⁷ First, calculate C(20, 3) = 20! / (3!(20-3)!) = 1140. Then calculate the probability: P(X = 3) = 1140 * 0.05³* 0.95¹⁷.

Doing the math, P(X = 3) ≈ 0.1398, or approximately 13.98%.

Final answer:

The probability that exactly 3 out of 20 Americans are afraid of being alone at night is found by using the binomial probability formula, which incorporates the number of people in the sample, the number who are afraid, and the overall chance of fear of being alone at night.

Explanation:

To find the probability that exactly 3 people out of a random sample of 20 Americans are afraid of being alone at night when it is known that 5% of Americans have this fear, we can use the binomial probability formula:

P(X = k) = C(n, k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)

Where:

n is the number of trials (in this case, 20)

k is the number of successes (in this case, 3)

p is the probability of success on an individual trial (5% or 0.05)

C(n, k) is the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time

Let's calculate:

Compute C(20, 3): This is 20! / (3! * (20-3)!).

Calculate p^k, which is 0.05^3.

Calculate (1-p)^(n-k), which is (1-0.05)^(20-3).

Multiply these together to get the probability.

After performing the calculations, we determine the probability of exactly 3 out of 20 Americans being afraid of being alone at night.

Answer:

The value of the t-statistic for this test is 1.138.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a new manager of a small convenience store randomly samples 20 purchases from yesterday’s sales. The mean was $45.26 and the standard deviation was $20.67.

We wish to test for evidence that the overall mean purchase amount is at least $40

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = overall mean purchase amount

SO, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] $40   {means that the overall mean purchase amount is at least $40}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] < $40   {means that the overall mean purchase amount is less than $40}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t test statistics because 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 sale = $45.26

              s = sample standard deviation = $20.67

              n = sample of purchases = 20

So, test statistics  =  [tex]\frac{45.26-40}{{\frac{20.67}{\sqrt{20} } } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_1_9[/tex]

                               =  1.138

Hence, the value of the t-statistic for this test is 1.138.

Where:

[tex]z\in Z[/tex]

Let:

[tex](1+i)=z\\n=20[/tex]

According to Demoivres Theorem, If:

[tex]z=||z||(cos(\theta)+isin(\theta))[/tex]

Then:

[tex]z^n=||z||^n(cos(n\theta)+isin(n\theta))[/tex]

For a complex number [tex]z[/tex]:

[tex]z=a+bi[/tex]

Its magnitude and angle are given by:

[tex]||z||=\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \\\\\theta=arctan(\frac{b}{a} )[/tex]

So:

[tex]||z||=\sqrt{1^2+1^2} =\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=arctan(\frac{1}{1} )=45^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, using De Moivre's theorem:

[tex]z^n=(\sqrt{2} )^{20}(cos(20*45)+isin(20*45))\\\\z^n=(\sqrt{2} )^{20}(cos(900)+isin(900))\\\\z^n=1024(-1+i(0))\\\\z^n=1024(-1)\\\\z^n=(1+i)^{20}=-1024[/tex]

x=test value before , y = test value after

x: 57.1 94.6 49.2 77.4 43.2

y: 63.5 101.8 57.8 81.2 41.9

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: [tex]\mu_y- \mu_x \leq 0[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis: [tex]\mu_y -\mu_x >0[/tex]

The first step is calculate the difference [tex]d_i=y_i-x_i[/tex] and we obtain this:

d: 6.4, 7.2, 8.6, 3.8, -1.3

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

[tex]\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}=4.94[/tex]

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

[tex]s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1} =3.901[/tex]

The next step is calculate the statistic given by :

[tex]t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{4.94 -0}{\frac{3.901}{\sqrt{5}}}=2.832[/tex]

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

[tex]df=n-1=5-1=4[/tex]

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a right tailed test the p value is given by:

[tex]p_v =P(t_{(4)}>2.832) =0.0236[/tex]

We see that the p value is lower than the significance level of 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the average net sales improved

Answer:

The probability is 0.503

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ghost appearances occur in the house according to a Poisson process with mean m, the time between appearances follows a exponential distribution with mean 1/m. so, the probability that the next ghost appearance happens before x hours is equal to:

[tex]P(X\leq x)=1-e^{-xm}[/tex]

Then, replacing m by 1.4 ghosts per hour we get:

[tex]P(X\leq x)=1-e^{-1.4x}[/tex]

Additionally, The exponential distribution have a memoryless property, so if it is now 1:00 p.m. and we want the probability that ghost appear before 1:30 p.m., we need to find the difference in hours from 1:00 p.m and 1:30 p.m. no matter that the last ghost appearance was at 12:35 p.m.

Therefore, there are 0.5 hours between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m, so the probability that the 7th ghost will appear before 1:30 p.m is calculated as:

[tex]P(x\leq 0.5)=1-e^{-1.4*0.5} =0.503[/tex]

Final answer:

The probability that the 7th ghost will appear before 1:30 p.m. in an old house in Pomona, CA can be calculated as approximately 0.5034, or 50.34%. This calculation is based on the Poisson distribution, with a rate of 1.4 ghosts per hour and the last ghost appearance occurring at 12:35 p.m.

Explanation:

The probability of the 7th ghost appearing before 1:30 p.m. can be calculated using the Poisson distribution. We know that the rate of ghost appearances is 1.4 ghosts per hour, which means the average time between ghost appearances is 1/1.4 hours. From 12:35 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., there are 25 minutes, or 25/60 hours. So, the probability that the 7th ghost will appear before 1:30 p.m. is equal to the probability that there will be at least 1 ghost in the remaining time, i.e., the probability that at least one ghost appears in the next 30 minutes.

We can use the complementary probability method to calculate this. The complementary probability is the probability that none of the ghosts appears in the next 30 minutes. Since the time follows a Poisson process, we can use the Poisson probability formula. Let's calculate:

Therefore, the probability that the 7th ghost will appear before 1:30 p.m. is approximately 0.5034, or 50.34%.

Answer:

[tex]t_{1} \approx 9.943\,s[/tex] and [tex]t_{2} \approx 0.057\,s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The following polynomial is needed to be solved:

[tex]-16\cdot t^{2} + 160\cdot t - 9 = 0[/tex]

The roots are found by means of the General Equation for Second-Order Polynomials:

[tex]t_{1} \approx 9.943\,s[/tex] and [tex]t_{2} \approx 0.057\,s[/tex]

Physically speaking, both solutions are reasonable.

Answer:

t = 0.0625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Height, h = -16t + 160t

To obtain time,t at height,h = 9feet

We substitute h = 9 into the given equation to have:

9 = - 16t + 160t

: 9 = 144t

t = 9/ 144 = 0.0625
