Answer:
D: 15 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean
To find the mean, or average, add up all the values in the data set,then divide by the number of values in the data set.
1. Add up all the values
Values: 14, 14, 15, 15, 16, 15, 15, 16
Add them :14+14+15+ 15+16+15+15+16=120
120
2. Divide by the number of values
Count how many numbers are in the data set. In this case there are 8. Divide 120 by 8.
120/8=15
The mean is 15
Range
To find the range, subtract the smallest number in the set from the biggest number in the set.
14, 14, 15, 15, 16, 15, 15, 16
Biggest number: 16
Smallest number: 14
biggest-smallest
16-14=2
The range is 2
Therefore, the answer is D: 15 and 2
observation means number.
mean= sum of all observation ÷ number of observation
= 14+ 14+ 15+ 15+ 16+ 15+ 16
7
= 105
7
= 15
range= the highest observation - lowest observation
= highest number- 16
lowest number- 14
= 16-14
= 2
therefore the answer is
OPTION- D 15;2

Step-by-step explanation:
If $5a+2b=0$ and $a$ is two less than $b$, what is $7b$?
Answer:
7b = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:
5a + 2b = 0
a is two less than b
So a = b - 2.
Replacing in the above equation:
[tex]5a + 2b = 0[/tex]
[tex]5(b - 2) + 2b = 0[/tex]
[tex]5b - 10 + 2b = 0[/tex]
[tex]7b = 10[/tex]
[tex]b = \frac{10}{7}[/tex]
7b
[tex]7b = 7\frac{10}{7} = \frac{70}{7} = 10[/tex]
7b = 10
Determine whether the underlined number is a statistic or a parameter. In a study of all 1963 employees at a college, it is found that "40%" own a computer. Choose the correct statement below.
1. Parameter because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a population
2. Statistic because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a population
3. Statistic because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a sample.
4. Parameter because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a sample.
Answer:
1. Parameter because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a population
Step-by-step explanation:
A parameter is a fixed measure which describes the whole population while a statistic is a characteristic of a sample (which is a portion of the target population).
In a study of all 1963 employees at a college, it is found that "40%" own a computer.
The study involved the entire population of employees in the college, therefore the result describes the computer owning characteristics of the whole population under study. It is therefore a parameter.
The correct option is 1.
Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the
equation that describes that function.
Express it in slope-intercept form.
Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use rise over run to find the slope, which will get you 1/2 as the slope
The y-intercept is at (0, -5) so put -5 in the equation
Answer: y= 1/2x + -5
Step-by-step explanation: slope is 1/2 because the line is going up one and over 2 (rise over run), the y intercept is -5 because that is where the line hits on the y axis
i have a daily allowance of 70grm but have only used 48 what percentage do i have left
Answer:
You have 31.43% of your allowance left.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using a rule of three.
Your initial amount, of 70, is 100%.
The remaining amount, of 70 - 48 = 22, is x%. So
70 - 100%
22 - x%
[tex]70x = 100*22[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{100*22}{70}[/tex]
[tex]x = 31.43[/tex]
You have 31.43% of your allowance left.

A campaign strategist wants to determine whether demographic shifts have caused a drop in allegiance to the Uniformian Party in Bowie County. Historically, around 62% of the county's registered voters have supported the Uniformians. In a survey of 196 registered voters, 57% indicated that they would vote for the Uniformians in the next election. Assuming a confidence level of 95% and conducting a one-sided hypothesis test, which of the following should the strategist do?
a. Accept the hypothesis that the proportion of Uniformian voters has not changed.
b. Accept the hypothesis that the proportion of Uniformian voters has decreased.
c. Conclude that the proportion of Uniformian voters is now between 56% and 62%.
d. There is not enough evidence to support the hypothesis that the proportion of Uniformian voters has decreased.
Answer:
d. There is not enough evidence to support the hypothesis that the proportion of Uniformian voters has decreased.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.
The claim is that there is a significant drop in allegiance to the Uniformian Party in Bowie County.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \pi=0.62\\\\H_a:\pi<0.62[/tex]
The significance level is 0.05.
The sample has a size n=196.
The sample proportion is p=0.57.
The standard error of the proportion is:
[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.62*0.38}{196}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001202}=0.035[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:
[tex]z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.57-0.62+0.5/196}{0.035}=\dfrac{-0.047}{0.035}=-1.369[/tex]
This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:
[tex]\text{P-value}=P(z<-1.369)=0.0855[/tex]
As the P-value (0.0855) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.
The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is a significant drop in allegiance to the Uniformian Party in Bowie County.
Business Week conducted a survey of graduates from 30 top MBA programs. On the basis of the survey, assume that the mean annual salary for male and female graduates 10 years after graduation is $168,000 and $117,000, respectively. Assume the standard deviation for the male graduates is $40,000 and for the female graduates it is $25,000. 1. In which of the preceding two cases, part a or part b, do we have a higher probability of obtaining a smaple estimate within $10,000 of the population mean? why? 2. What is the probability that a simple random sample of 100 male graduates will provide a sample mean more than $4,000 below the population mean?
Answer:
1. Due to the lower standard deviation, it is more likely to obtain a sample of females within $10,000 of the population mean
2. 15.87% probability that a simple random sample of 100 male graduates will provide a sample mean more than $4,000 below the population mean
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
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.
1. In which of the preceding two cases, part a or part b, do we have a higher probability of obtaining a smaple estimate within $10,000 of the population mean? why?
The lower the standard deviation, the less dispersed the values are, meaning it is more likely to find values within a certain threshold of the mean.
So
Due to the lower standard deviation, it is more likely to obtain a sample of females within $10,000 of the population mean.
2. What is the probability that a simple random sample of 100 male graduates will provide a sample mean more than $4,000 below the population mean?
We have that:
[tex]\mu = 168000, \sigma = 40000, n = 100, s = \frac{40000}{\sqrt{100}} = 4000[/tex]
This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 168000 - 4000 = 164000. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{164000 - 168000}{4000}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1587
15.87% probability that a simple random sample of 100 male graduates will provide a sample mean more than $4,000 below the population mean

The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 8 cmys and its width is increasing at a rate of 3 cmys. When the length is 20 cm and the width is 10 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?
Answer:
The area of the rectangle increasing at the rate of 140 cm²/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangle area:
A rectangle has two dimensions, length l and width w.
It's area is:
A = l*w.
When the length is 20 cm and the width is 10 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?
We apply implicit differentiation to solve this question:
[tex]A = l*w[/tex]
So
[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = l\frac{dw}{dt} + w\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex]
Length is 20, so [tex]l = 20[/tex].
Width is 10, so [tex]w = 10[/tex]
The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 8 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 3 cm/s.
This means that [tex]\frac{dl}{dt} = 8, \frac{dw}{dt} = 3[/tex]
So
[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = l\frac{dw}{dt} + w\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 20*3 + 10*8 = 140[/tex]
Area in cm².
So
The area of the rectangle increasing at the rate of 140 cm²/s
Assume that random guesses are made for seven multiple choice questions on an SAT test, so that there are n=7 trials, each with probability of success (correct) given by p= 0.2. Find the indicated probability for the number of correct answers.
Find the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be a random variable representing the number of guesses made for the sat questions.
Since the probability of getting the correct answer to a question is fixed for any number of trials and the outcome is either getting it correctly or not, then it is a binomial distribution. The probability of success, p = 0.2
Probability of failure, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8
the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 is expressed as
P(x < 4)
From the binomial distribution calculator,
P(x < 4) = 0.97

Convert decimal +61 and +27 to binary using the signed 2’s complement representation and enough digits to accommodate the numbers. Then perform the binary equivalent of (27) + (-61), (-27) + (+61), and (-27) + (-61). Convert then answers back to decimal and verify that they are correct.
Answer:
the sum is 01011000₂ = 88
Step-by-step explanation:
For numbers of magnitude less than 128, it is convenient to use an 8-bit representation. I find it works will to convert back and forth through the octal (base-8) representation, as each base-8 digit converts nicely to three (3) base-2 bits.
61 = 8·7 +5 = 075₈ = 00 111 101₂
27 = 8·3 +3 = 033₈ = 00 011 011₂
Then ...
[tex]\begin{array}{cc|ccc}&61&&00111101\\+&27&+&00011011\\ &\overline{88}&&\overline{01011000}\end{array}[/tex]
__
Starting from the right, we can convert the binary back to octal, then to decimal by considering 3 bits at a time:
01 011 000₂ = 130₈ = 1·8² +3·8 +0 = 64 +24 = 88
The binary sum is the same as the decimal sum.
Write an equation of a line that passes through (-6, 1), parallel to y = 2x – 6.
Answer:
y = -1/2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If it's parallel, that means that the slope is the opposite of the one in the given equation, meaning that 2 would be flipped and turned negative into -1/2.
Then, fill in the x and y values to get the y-intercept.
1 = -1/2(-6) + b
1 = 3 + b
-2 = b
So your answer is y = -1/2x - 2

Mr. Azu invested an amount at rate of 12% per annum and invested another amount, 580 ghana cedis more than the first at 14% . if Mr. Azu had total accumulated amount of 2,358.60, how much was his total investment?
Answer:
2082.12 was the total invested
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount invested at 14%. Then the amount invested at 12% was (x-580). The total accumulated amount was ...
112%(x -580) +114%(x) = 2358.60
2.26x -649.60 = 2358.60
2.26x = 3008.20 . . . add 649.60
x = 1331.06 . . . . . . divide by 2.26
x -580 = 751.06
The total invested was 1331.06 +751.06 = 2082.12 cedis.
__
Check
The investment at 12% was 751.06, so the accumulated amount of that investment was 751.06×1.12 = 841.19.
The investment at 14% was 1331.06, so the accumulated amount of that investment as 1331.06×1.14 = 1517.41.
The accumulated total amount was 841.19 +1517.41 = 2358.60.

but negative PLUS a negative equals a negative so the answer is going to be a negative, and just to keep in mind in the future that a negative PLUS a negative will give us a negative and negative TIMES a negative gives us a positive, and a positive PLUS a positive gives us a positive and a positive TIMES a positive gives us a positive and Negative times a positive equals a negative and negative PLUS a positive find the sum take the absolute value of each integer and then subtract the values.
The answer is -7 hope this helped! :)
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
they add upp because they both negative
A manager records the repair cost for 4 randomly selected stereos. A sample mean of $82.64 and standard deviation of $14.32 are subsequently computed. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the stereos. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
CI = (70.861 , 94.418)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the 90% confidence interval you use the following formula (for a population approximately normal):
[tex]CI=(\overline{x}-Z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}},\overline{x}+Z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex] (1)
[tex]\overline{x}[/tex]: mean = 82.64
σ: standard deviation = 14.32
n: sample = 4
α: tail area = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1
Z_α/2 = Z_0.05: Z factor = 1.645
You replace these values and you obtain:
[tex]Z_{0.05}(\frac{14.32}{\sqrt{4}})=(1.645)(\frac{14.32}{\sqrt{4}})=11.778[/tex]
The confidence interval will be:
[tex]CI=(82.64-11.778,82.64+11.778)=(70.861,94.418)[/tex]
The 90% confidence interval is (70.861 , 94.418)
