Answer:
The probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by greater than 0.8 kg is P=0.3843.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a population with mean 60 kg and a variance of 100 kg.
We take a sample of n=118 individuals and we want to calculate the probability that the sample mean will differ more than 0.8 from the population mean.
This can be calculated using the properties of the sampling distribution, and calculating the z-score taking into account the sample size.
The sampling distribution mean is equal to the population mean.
[tex]\mu_s=\mu=60[/tex]
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is equal to:
[tex]\sigma_s=\sigma/\sqrt{n}=\sqrt{100}/\sqrt{118}=10/10.86=0.92[/tex]
We have to calculate the probability P(|Xs|>0.8). The z-scores for this can be calculated as:
[tex]z=(X-\mu_s)/\sigma_s=\pm0.8/0.92=\pm0.87[/tex]
Then, we have:
[tex]P(|X_s|>0.8)=P(|z|>0.87)=2*(P(z>0.87)=2*0.19215=0.3843[/tex]
1. Walking to improve health. In a study investigating a link between walking and improved health (Social Science & Medicine, Apr. 2014), researchers reported that adults walked an average of 5.5 days in the past month for the purpose of health or recreation. a) Specify the null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether the true average number of days in the past month that adults walked for the purpose of health or recreation is lower than 5.5 days. b) Is the test one-tailed or two-tailed? c) Using α = .01, specify the critical value (CV), the rejection region, and draw the distribution.
Answer:
a) We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true average number of days in the past month that adults walked for the purpose of health or recreation is lower than 5.5 days (a;ternative hypothesis) , the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 5.5[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu < 5.5[/tex]
b) For this case since we want to determine if the true mean is lower than an specified value is a one tailed test
c) For this case the significance level is given [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] and we want to find the critical value, so we need to find a critical value on the normal standard distribution who accumulate 0.01 of the area on the right tail and if we use excel or a table we got:
[tex]z_{cric}= -2.326[/tex]

Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of measures of these three angles of any triangle is equal to 180 °
54 + 90 + (2x + 4) = 180
144 + 2x + 4 = 180
148 + 2x = 180
2x = 180 - 148
2x = 32
[tex]x= \frac{32}{2} \\\\x=16[/tex]
Focus on triangle KLM. Since JKLM is a rectangle, angle KLM is right. Since the sum of the interior angles of every triangle is 180, we deduce that
[tex]\hat{K}+\hat{L}+\hat{M}=180[/tex]
Now plug the values for each angle and you have
[tex]54+90+(2x+4)=180[/tex]
Move 54 and 90 to the right side to get

Below are two parallel lines with a third line intersecting them. What is x
Answer:
136=x
Step-by-step explanation:
When an angle is shown, the one opposite of it is equal to the forst equation. The bottom angles are equal to 360ñ so if you take 46x2=92. Subtract 92 by 360 to get 268. Divide it by 2 to get one of the bigger angles, which is 134 degrees. And as for the top, one angle on the bottom is equal to the same spot on the top. so, 136=x
Answer :
x = 134°
Step by step :
46° + x = 180°
x = 180° - 46°
x = 134°
State police believe that 70% of the drivers traveling on a major interstate highway exceed the speed limit. They plan to set up a radar trap and check the speeds of 80 cars. Taking a random sample of eighty cars is considered sufficiently large for the distribution of the sample proportion to be normally distributed. Would a random sample of 50 cars have been large enough and why?
Answer:
With n = 50, both conditions(np > 5, n(1-p) > 5) are satisfied, so a random sample of 50 cars would have been large enough.
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to the normal distribution if:
np > 5, n(1-p) > 5
70% of the drivers traveling on a major interstate highway exceed the speed limit.
So p = 0.7.
Would a random sample of 50 cars have been large enough and why?
With n = 50
np = 50*0.7 = 35 > 5
n(1-p) = 50*0.3 = 15 > 5
With n = 50, both conditions(np > 5, n(1-p) > 5) are satisfied, so a random sample of 50 cars would have been large enough.
Find BC
(round to the nearest hundredth)
Given:
In ΔABC, ∠C = 90°, ∠A = 50° and AB = 3 unit.
To find the value of BC.
Formula:
By Trigonometric Ratio we get,
[tex]sin \ \theta=\frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]
Now,
With respect to θ = 50°, AB is the hypotenuse and AB is the opposite side.
So,
[tex]sin \ 50^{\circ}=\frac{BC}{AB}[/tex]
[tex]sin \ 50^{\circ}=\frac{BC}{3}[/tex]
[tex]BC = 3 \times sin 50^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]BC = 2.298 = 2.3[/tex] (approx)
Hence,
The value of BC is 2.3 units.

Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
A worker has asked her supervisor for a letter of recommendation for a new job. She estimates that there is an 80 percent chance that she will get the job if she receives a strong recommendation, a 40 percent chance if she receives a moderately good recommendation, and a 10 percent chance if she receives a weak recommendation. She further estimates that the probabilities that the recommendation will be strong, moderate, and weak are 0.7, 0.2, and 0.1, respectively.
a. How certain is she that she will receive the new job offer?
b. Given that she does receive the offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation?
i. a moderate recommendation?
ii. a weak recommendation?
c. Given that she does not receive the job offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation?
i. a moderate recommendation?
ii. a weak recommendation?
Answer:
a) P(Job offer) = 0.65
b) P(S|J) = 0.862
P(M|J) = 0.143
P(W|J) = 0.0179
c) P(S|J') = 0.400
P(M|J') = 0.343
P(W|J') = 0.257
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let the event that she gets a job be J
- Let the event that she does not get the job be J'
- Let the event that she receives a strong recommendation be S
- Let the event that she receives a moderate recommendation be M
- Let the event that she receives a weak recommendation be W.
Given in the question,
P(J|S) = 80% = 0.8
P(J|M) = 40% = 0.4
P(J|W) = 10% = 0.1
P(S) = 0.70
P(M) = 0.20
P(W) = 0.10
a) How certain is she that she will receive the new job offer?
P(J) = P(J n S) + P(J n M) + P(J n W) (since S, M and W are all of the possible outcomes that lead to a job)
But note that the conditional probability, P(A|B) is given mathematically as,
P(A|B) = P(A n B) ÷ P(B)
P(A n B) is then given as
P(A n B) = P(A|B) × P(B)
So,
P(J n S) = P(J|S) × P(S) = 0.80 × 0.70 = 0.56
P(J n M) = P(J|M) × P(M) = 0.40 × 0.20 = 0.08
P(J n W) = P(J|W) × P(W) = 0.10 × 0.10 = 0.01
P(J) = P(J n S) + P(J n M) + P(J n W)
P(J) = 0.56 + 0.08 + 0.01 = 0.65
b) Given that she does receive the offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation?
This probability = P(S|J)
P(S|J) = P(J n S) ÷ P(J) = 0.56 ÷ 0.65 = 0.862
i. a moderate recommendation?
P(M|J) = P(J n M) ÷ P(J) = 0.08 ÷ 0.65 = 0.143
ii. a weak recommendation?
P(W|J) = P(J n W) ÷ P(J) = 0.01 ÷ 0.65 = 0.0179
c) Probability that she doesn't get job offer, given she got a strong recommendation = P(J'|S)
P(J'|S) = 1 - P(J|S) = 1 - 0.80 = 0.20
Probability that she doesn't get job offer, given she got a moderate recommendation = P(J'|M)
P(J'|M) = 1 - P(J|M) = 1 - 0.40 = 0.60
Probability that she doesn't get job offer, given she got a weak recommendation = P(J'|S)
P(J'|W) = 1 - P(J|W) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90
Total probability that she doesn't get job offer
P(J') = P(J' n S) + P(J' n M) + P(J' n W)
P(J' n S) = P(J'|S) × P(S) = 0.20 × 0.70 = 0.14
P(J' n M) = P(J'|M) × P(M) = 0.60 × 0.20 = 0.12
P(J' n W) = P(J'|W) × P(W) = 0.90 × 0.10 = 0.09
Total probability that she doesn't get job offer
P(J') = P(J' n S) + P(J' n M) + P(J' n W)
= 0.14 + 0.12 + 0.09 = 0.35
Given that she does not receive the job offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation?
This probability = P(S|J')
P(S|J') = P(J' n S) ÷ P(J') = 0.14 ÷ 0.35 = 0.400
i. a moderate recommendation?
P(M|J') = P(J' n M) ÷ P(J') = 0.12 ÷ 0.35 = 0.343
ii. a weak recommendation?
P(W|J') = P(J' n W) ÷ P(J') = 0.09 ÷ 0.35 = 0.257
Hope this Helps!!!
She has 62% certainty of getting the job. If she gets it, there are high chances (~90%) that the recommendation was strong. In case of rejection, she's slightly more likely to have received a strong recommendation than a moderate or weak one.
Explanation:The subject of this problem involves the understanding of conditional probabilities and the principle of total probability. Let's denote the events as follows:
A1: the recommendation is strong A2: the recommendation is moderate A3: the recommendation is weak B: she gets the new job offer
a. The total probability that she will receive the job offer is calculated as follows:
P(B)=P(A1)P(B|A1)+P(A2)P(B|A2)+P(A3)P(B|A3) = 0.7*0.8+0.2*0.4+0.1*0.1=0.62, so she is 62% certain that she will receive the job offer.
b. If she does receive the offer, the probabilities that she got a strong, moderate and weak recommendation are calculated using Bayes' Theorem:
P(A1|B)=P(B|A1)P(A1)/P(B)=0.8*0.7/0.62 =~ 0.9 P(A2|B)=P(B|A2)P(A2)/P(B)=0.4*0.2/0.62 =~ 0.13 P(A3|B)=P(B|A3)P(A3)/P(B)=0.1*0.1/0.62 =~ 0.016
c. If she doesn't get the job, the probabilities are calculated similarly:
P(A1|Not B)=P(Not B|A1)P(A1)/P(Not B)=0.2*0.7/0.38 =~ 0.37 P(A2|Not B)=P(Not B|A2)P(A2)/P(Not B)=0.6*0.2/0.38 =~ 0.32 P(A3|Not B)=P(Not B|A3)P(A3)/P(Not B)=0.9*0.1/0.38 =~ 0.24Learn more about Conditional Probability here:

A marketing research company is estimating which of two soft drinks college students prefer. A random sample of n college students produced the following 95% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who prefer drink A: (.262, .622). Identify the point estimate for estimating the true proportion of college students who prefer that drink.
Final answer:
The point estimate for the proportion of college students who prefer drink A is found by averaging the lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence interval, which yields an estimate of 0.442 or 44.2%.
Explanation:
The point estimate for the true proportion of college students who prefer drink A is the midpoint of the 95% confidence interval. To find the point estimate, you sum the lower and upper bounds of the interval and divide by 2. In this case, the confidence interval is (.262, .622). The calculation for the point estimate is (0.262 + 0.622) / 2, which equals 0.442. Therefore, the point estimate is 0.442, which means that approximately 44.2% of college students prefer drink A.
An archer is able to hit the bull's-eye 53% of the time. If she shoots 10 arrows, what is the probability that she gets exactly 4 bull's-eyes?
To find the probability that the archer gets exactly 4 bull's-eyes out of 10 shots, use the binomial probability formula. The probability is approximately 0.221.
Explanation:To find the probability that the archer gets exactly 4 bull's-eyes out of 10 shots, we can use the binomial probability formula. The formula is:
P(x) = nCx * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)
Where:
P(x) is the probability of getting exactly x successesn is the number of trialsx is the number of successes we want to find the probability forp is the probability of a single successIn this case, n = 10, x = 4, and p = 0.53 (since the archer hits the bull's-eye 53% of the time).
Plugging these values into the formula:
P(4) = 10C4 * (0.53)^4 * (1-0.53)^(10-4)
Calculating this gives us P(4) ≈ 0.221
Final answer:
To find the probability of exactly 4 bull's-eyes out of 10 shots for an archer with a 53% success rate, use the binomial probability formula, resulting in approximately a 20.6% chance.
Explanation:
The probability that an archer who hits the bull's-eye 53% of the time getting exactly 4 bull's-eyes out of 10 shots can be calculated using the binomial probability formula: P(X = k) = nCk × p^k × (1 - p)^(n - k), where:
n is the number of trials (10 arrows)
k is the number of successes (4 bull's-eyes)
p is the probability of success on a single trial (0.53)
nCk is the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time
Applying these values:
Calculate the number of combinations for getting 4 successes out of 10 trials:
10C4 = 210.
Calculate the probability of getting exactly 4 bull's-eyes:
P(X = 4) = 210 × (0.53)^4 × (0.47)^6.
Compute the result:
P(X = 4) ≈ 0.206 (rounded to three decimal places).
The archer has approximately a 20.6% chance of hitting exactly 4 bull's-eyes out of 10 shots.

StartFraction d Over dt EndFraction Integral from 0 to t Superscript 8 StartRoot u cubed EndRoot du
a. by evaluating the integral and differentiating the result.
b. by differentiating the integral directly.
Answer:
Using either method, we obtain: [tex]t^\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
a) By evaluating the integral:
[tex]\frac{d}{dt} \int\limits^t_0 {\sqrt[8]{u^3} } \, du[/tex]
The integral itself can be evaluated by writing the root and exponent of the variable u as: [tex]\sqrt[8]{u^3} =u^{\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Then, an antiderivative of this is: [tex]\frac{8}{11} u^\frac{3+8}{8} =\frac{8}{11} u^\frac{11}{8}[/tex]
which evaluated between the limits of integration gives:
[tex]\frac{8}{11} t^\frac{11}{8}-\frac{8}{11} 0^\frac{11}{8}=\frac{8}{11} t^\frac{11}{8}[/tex]
and now the derivative of this expression with respect to "t" is:
[tex]\frac{d}{dt} (\frac{8}{11} t^\frac{11}{8})=\frac{8}{11}\,*\,\frac{11}{8}\,t^\frac{3}{8}=t^\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
b) by differentiating the integral directly: We use Part 1 of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus which states:
"If f is continuous on [a,b] then
[tex]g(x)=\int\limits^x_a {f(t)} \, dt[/tex]
is continuous on [a,b], differentiable on (a,b) and [tex]g'(x)=f(x)[/tex]
Since this this function [tex]u^{\frac{3}{8}[/tex] is continuous starting at zero, and differentiable on values larger than zero, then we can apply the theorem. That means:
[tex]\frac{d}{dt} \int\limits^t_0 {u^\frac{3}{8} } } \, du=t^\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Answer:
0.64 ± 0.1117 or
[tex]0.64\pm 1.645*\sqrt{\frac{0.64*(0.36)}{50}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Sample size (n) = 50
Z-score for a 90% confidence interval (z) = 1.645
Proportion of students that read at least one book (p):
[tex]p=\frac{32}{50}=0.64[/tex]
The confidence interval is given by:
[tex]p\pm z*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }[/tex]
Applying the given data:
[tex]0.64\pm 1.645*\sqrt{\frac{0.64*(1-0.64)}{50}}\\ 0.64\pm 0.1117[/tex]
The confidence interval is 0.64 ± 0.1117
The 90 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students in her district who read at least 1 book last month is [tex]0.64\pm 0.11178[/tex].
Given information:
From a random sample of 50 (n) students, Alma found that 32 students read at least 1 book last month.
Alma is estimating the proportion of students in her school district who, in the past month, read at least 1 book.
It is required to find the 90 percentage confidence interval for the proportion of all students in her district who read at least 1 book last month.
Now, from tha table, the z-score of 90 percent confidence level is,
[tex]z=1.645[/tex]
The probability p for the proportion of students who read atleast one book is,
[tex]p=\dfrac{32}{50}\\p=0.64[/tex]
So, the 90 percent confidence interval will be calculated as,
[tex]p\pm z\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=0.64\pm 1.645\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.64(1-0.64)}{50}}\\=0.64\pm 0.11178[/tex]
Therefore, the 90 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students in her district who read at least 1 book last month is [tex]0.64\pm 0.11178[/tex].

HELP PLEASEEEE! I kinda need this done asap so can anyone explain it to me? :)
Answer:
The Answer is 25.5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
What you basically do is
17² * 17²= 289
19² * 19²= 361
Then add 289+361=650
Then u have to Divide
Then you should get 25.495
Then Round to the nearest Tenth and you Get (25.5 in)
Hope This was Right
Answer:
25.49
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the hypotenuse for right triangles, we use the Pythagorean Theorem or
[tex]A^{2} +B^{2} = C^{2}[/tex]
Keep in mind we only use this for right triangles
With that in mind, lets solve for side c
[tex]A^{2} + B^{2} = C^{2} \\19^{2} +17^{2} = C^{2} \\(19*19) + (17*17) = C^{2} \\361+ 289 = 650\\C^{2} = 650\\\sqrt{650} = C\\C = 5\sqrt{26} or 25.49[/tex]

A random sample of 121 automobiles traveling on an interstate showed an average speed of 65 mph. From past information, it is known that the standard deviation of the population is 22 mph. The 95 percent confidence interval for μ is determined as (61.08, 68.92). If we are to reduce the sample size to 100 (other factors remain unchanged), the 95 percent confidence interval for μ would: Question 6 options: be the same. become wider. become narrower. be impossible to determine.
Answer:
95 percent confidence interval for μ is determined by
(60.688 , 69.312)
a) be the same
Step-by-step explanation:
Step (i):-
Given data a random sample of 121 automobiles traveling on an interstate showed an average speed of 65 mph.
The sample size is n= 121
The mean of the sample x⁻ = 65mph.
The standard deviation of the population is 22 mph
σ = 22mph
Step (ii) :-
Given The 95 percent confidence interval for μ is determined as
(61.08, 68.92)
we are to reduce the sample size to 100 (other factors remain unchanged) so
given The sample size is n= 100
The mean of the sample x⁻ = 65mph.
The standard deviation of the population is 22 mph
σ = 22mph
Step (iii):-
95 percent confidence interval for μ is determined by
[tex](x^{-} - 1.96\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} + 1.96 \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } )[/tex]
[tex](65 - 1.96\frac{22}{\sqrt{100} } , 65 + 1.96 \frac{22}{\sqrt{100} } )[/tex]
(65 - 4.312 ,65 +4.312)
(60.688 , 69.312) ≅(61 ,69)
This is similar to (61.08, 68.92) ≅(61 ,69)
Conclusion:-
it become same as (61.08, 68.92)
In the given scenario, the 95 percent confidence interval for μ would become wider if the sample size is reduced from 121 to 100. This is due to the increased uncertainty in estimation as a result of a smaller sample size.
Explanation:In statistics, a confidence interval is a range in which a population parameter is estimated to lie. The calculation of a confidence interval involves several factors, one of which is the sample size. The width of the confidence interval decreases as the sample size increases, assuming that all other factors remain the same.
In this case, the sample size is proposed to decrease from 121 to 100. As a result, the confidence interval for μ would become wider. This is because as the sample size decreases, the standard error increases, which in turn widens the confidence interval, allowing for more uncertainty in estimations.
