Answer:
A) The sampling distribution for a sample size n=50 has a mean of 18.5 weeks and a standard deviation of 0.849.
B) P = 0.7616
C) P = 0.4441
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that for the population of all unemployed individuals the population mean length of unemployment is 18.5 weeks and that the population standard deviation is 6 weeks.
A) We take a sample of size n=50.
The mean of the sampling distribution is equal to the population mean:
[tex]\mu_s=\mu=18.5[/tex]
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is:
[tex]\sigma_s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{50}}=0.849[/tex]
B) We have to calculate the probability that the sampling distribution gives a value between one week from the mean. That is between 17.5 and 19.5 weeks.
We can calculate this with the z-scores:
[tex]z_1=\dfrac{X_1-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{17.5-18.5}{6/\sqrt{50}}=\dfrac{-1}{0.8485}=-1.179\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{X_2-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{19.5-18.5}{6/\sqrt{50}}=\dfrac{1}{0.8485}=1.179[/tex]
The probability it then:
[tex]P(|X_s-\mu_s|<1)=P(|z|<1.179)=0.7616[/tex]
C) For half a week (between 18 and 19 weeks), we recalculate the z-scores and the probabilities:
[tex]z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{18-18.5}{6/\sqrt{50}}=\dfrac{-0.5}{0.8485}=-0.589[/tex]
[tex]P(|X_s-\mu_s|<0.5)=P(|z|<0.589)=0.4441[/tex]
A polygraph (lie detector) is an instrument used to determine if the individual is telling the truth. These tests are considered to be 86% reliable. In other words, if an individual lies, there is a 0.86 probability that the test will detect a lie. Let there also be a 0.070 probability that the test erroneously detects a lie even when the individual is actually telling the truth. Consider the null hypothesis, "the individual is telling the truth," to answer the following questions.
a. What is the probability of Type I error? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Probability
b. What is the probability of Type II error? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Probability
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The probability of a Type I error in a lie detection test would be the probability that the lie detection machine incorrectly detected lie for the truth tellers. This is already given in the problem as 0.07.
Therefore,
[tex]P(Type-I) = 0.07[/tex]
Therefore 0.07 is the required probability here.
b) The probability of a Type II error in a lie detection test would be the probability that the lie detection machine incorrectly detected truth for the the people who are actually liars. This is thus 1 - reliability.
[tex]P(Type-II) = 1 - Reliability = 1- 0.86 = 0.14[/tex]
Therefore 0.14 is the required probability here.
Answer:
a) 0.070
b) 0.14
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the tests are 86% reliable, i.e a probability of 0.86 a lie would be detected.
Probability of error = 0.070
a) For type I error, we have:
The probability of a type I error in this lie detector is the probability that the test erroneously detects a lie even when the individual is actually telling the truth, i.e
P(type I error) = P(rejecting true null)
= 0.070
b) The probability of a Type II error this lie detectot is the probability that the test erroneously detected truth insteax of lie.
i.e = 1 - reliability
P (Type II error) = P(Failing to reject false Null)
= P(Not detecting a lie)
= 1-0.86
= 0.14
Which ordered pair is the solution of the system of equations? 3x+2y=4, -2+2y=24, I need help Im very confused on how to solve this...
Answer:
x = -7.33 OR x = [tex]\frac{-22}{3}[/tex]
y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
→You can use the substitution method. First, make y by itself in (-2 + 2y = 24):
-2 + 2y = 24
2y = 26
y = 13
→Then, plug in 13 for y into the other equation:
3x + 2y = 4
3x + 2(13) = 4
3x + 26 = 4
3x = -22
x = -7.33 OR x = [tex]\frac{-22}{3}[/tex]

Answer:
p-value (0.0208) is less than alpha = 0.05 reject H0.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have the following data:
sample size = n = 75
x, the number to evaluate is 45
the sample proportion would be: x / n = 45/75
p * = 0.6
Now, the null and alternative hypotheses are:
H0: P = 0.72
Ha: P no 72
two tailed test
statistic tes = z = (p * - p) / [(p * (1-p) / n)] ^ (1/2)
replacing we have:
z = (0.6 - 0.72) / [(0.72 * (1-0.72) / 75)] ^ (1/2)
z = -2.31
p-vaule = 2 * p (z <-2.31)
using z table, we get:
p-vaule = 2 * (0.0104)
p-vaule = 0.0208
Therefore, p-value (0.0208) is less than alpha = 0.05 reject H0.

A team of researchers published an article on the study of how vehicles are dispatched based on an airport-based taxi service. The researchers modeled this system with an underlying assumption that travel times of successive trips to and from the terminal are independent exponentially distributed random variables with β = 15 minutes. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation of trip time distribution (b) How likely is it for a particular trip to take more than 25 minutes? (c) If two taxis are dispatched together, what is the probability that both of them will be gone for more than 25 minutes? (d) what is the likelihood of at least of one of the taxis returning within 25?
Answer:
a. The mean would be 0.067
The standard deviation would be 0.285
b. Would be of 1-e∧-375
c. The probability that both of them will be gone for more than 25 minutes is 1-e∧-187.5
d. The likelihood of at least of one of the taxis returning within 25 is 1-e∧-375
Step-by-step explanation:
a. According to the given data the mean and the standard deviation would be as follows:
mean=1/β=1/15=0.0666=0.067
standard deviation=√1/15=√0.067=0.285
b. To calculate How likely is it for a particular trip to take more than 25 minutes we would calculate the following:
p(x>25)=1-p(x≤25)
since f(x)=p(x≤x)=1-e∧-βx
p(x>25)=1-p(x≤25)=1-e∧-15x25=1-e∧-375
c. p(x>25/2)=1-p(x≤25/2)=1-e∧-15x25/2=1-e∧-187.5
d. p(x≥25)=1-e∧-15x25=1-e∧-375
A credit card company monitors cardholder transaction habits to detect any unusual activity. Suppose that the dollar value of unusual activity for a customer in a month follows a normal distribution with mean $250 and variance $2400.
(a) What is the probability of $250 to $294 in unusual activity in a month? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654) P-0.4861
(b) What is the probability of more than $294 in unusual activity in a month? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654) P 0.0139
(c) Suppose that 10 customer accounts independently follow the same normal distribution. What is the probability that at least one of these customers exceeds $294 in unusual activity in a month? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the random variable representing the dollar value of unusual activity for a customer in a month. Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = sample mean
µ = population mean
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 250
σ = √variance = √2400 = 48.99
a) the probability of $250 to $294 in unusual activity in a month is expressed as
P(250 ≤ x ≤ 294)
For x = 250,
z = (250 - 250)/48.99 = 0
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.5
For x = 294
z = (294 - 250)/48.99 = 0.9
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.8159
Therefore,
P(250 ≤ x ≤ 294) = 0.8159 - 0.5 = 0.3159
b) the probability of more than $294 in unusual activity in a month is expressed as
P(x > 294) = 1 - P(x < 294)
P(x > 294) = 1 - 0.8159 = 0.1841
c) since n = 10, the formula becomes
z = (x - µ)/(σ/n)
z = (294 - 250)/(48.99/√10) = 2.84
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability is 0.9977
Therefore, the probability that at least one of these customers exceeds $294 in unusual activity in a month is
1 - 0.9977 = 0.0023

The radius of inscribed circle is 10 what is the perimeter of square cabd
Answer:
P=80
Step-by-step explanation:
R= 10
P = R*2 *4
P of a square = 10*2 *4 = 80
Just divide by any fraction of the squares ratio.
ie) if square = 2/3 of the length of the circle then 80 x 2/3 = 53.333...
ie) if square = 3/4 of the length of the diameter of the circle then 80 x 3/4 = 60
As 3/4 pf 10 = 7.5
7.5 * 2 = 15
15* 4 = 60
Howver the square is outside of the circle as described circle inscribed exactly how much if it fits exactly then the length will be same as circles diameter = 10*2 = D;20.
20 *4 = 80. P;80

Answer:
80% confidence interval of the true average number of hours of TV watched per week is [8.28 hours, 11.02 hours].
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a college student is interested in investigating the TV-watching habits of her classmates and surveys 20 people on the number of hours they watch per week. The results are provided below;
Hours of TV per week (X): 6, 14, 13, 6, 16, 10, 19, 4, 5, 5, 18, 8, 7, 14, 8, 8, 9, 12, 6, 5.
Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 80% confidence interval for the true average is given by;
P.Q. = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean number of hours of TV watched per week = [tex]\frac{\sum X}{n}[/tex] = 9.65
s = sample standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{\sum (X -\bar X)^{2} }{n-1} }[/tex] = 4.61
n = sample of people = 20
[tex]\mu[/tex] = true average number of hours of TV watched per week
Here for constructing 80% confidence interval we have used One-sample t-test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.
So, 80% confidence interval for the true average, [tex]\mu[/tex] is ;
P(-1.33 < [tex]t_1_9[/tex] < 1.33) = 0.80 {As the critical value of t at 19 degrees of
freedom are -1.33 & 1.33 with P = 10%}
P(-1.33 < [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < 1.33) = 0.80
P( [tex]-1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\bar X-\mu}[/tex] < [tex]1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.80
P( [tex]\bar X-1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\mu[/tex] < [tex]\bar X+1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.80
80% confidence interval for [tex]\mu[/tex] = [ [tex]\bar X-1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\bar X+1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ]
= [ [tex]9.65-1.33 \times {\frac{4.61}{\sqrt{20} } }[/tex] , [tex]9.65+1.33 \times {\frac{4.61}{\sqrt{20} } }[/tex] ]
= [8.28 hours, 11.02 hours]
Therefore, 80% confidence interval of the true average number of hours of TV watched per week is [8.28 hours, 11.02 hours].
Angelina read 30% of her book containing 360 pages. How many pages has she read so far
Answer:
108 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
Angelina read 30% of the book that contains 360 pages.
30% of 360 pages
"of" also means multiply, so we must multiply 30% and 360.
30% * 360
Convert 30% to a decimal. Divide 30 by 100, or move the decimal place 2 spots to the left.
30/100=0.30
or
30.0---> 3.0---> 0.30
Plug the decimal in for the percent.
0.30*360
Multiply the 2 numbers together
108

Triangles E F G and K L M are shown. Angles E F G and K L M are congruent. The length of side K L is 6, the length of side M L is 5, and the length of K M is 8. The length of E G is 24, the length of G F is 15, and the length of E F is 18. Can the triangles be proven similar using the SSS or SAS similarity theorems? Yes, △EFG ~ △KLM only by SSS. Yes, △EFG ~ △KLM only by SAS. Yes, △EFG ~ △KLM by SSS or SAS. No, they cannot be proven similar by SSS or SAS.?
Answer:
The Answer is C: Yes, △EFG~ △KLM by SSS or SAS
Step-by-step explanation:
SSS is for side-side-side
Both triangles have all three sides given, so the SSS similarity theorem is one way to prove these triangles are similar.
SAS is for side-angle-side
Both triangles have one angle measurement given, and two side lengths given, therefore we can also use the SAS similarity theorem to prove the two triangles are similar.
Since both SSS and SAS work to prove the triangles are similar, the correct answer is C: Yes, △EFG~ △KLM by SSS or SAS

A toy car is placed on the floor He moves in a straight line starting from rest and travels with a constant acceleration for three seconds reaching a velocity of 4 meters per second it then slows down with constant deceleration of 0.5 meters per second squared For four seconds before hitting the wall and stopping draw a velocity time graph for the toy car what is the total distance travelled by the toy car
Answer:
18 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a constant acceleration for 3 seconds, reaching 4 m/s. This, when drawn on a velocity/time graph, creates a diagonal line. The area underneath this line, which is the distance it travels, is found by the following: 0.5(l*h), the formula used to find the area of a triangle.
0.5(3*4)=6m
There is then a constant deceleration of 0.5m/s for 4 seconds. This does also create a diagonal line on a velocity/time graph, but it doesn't go down to 0. What I do is split it up so that a triangle and a rectangle are created from the shape made. The triangle has a height of 2, and a length of 4, so we use the same formula used before.
0.5(2*4)=4m
Now, all that remains is a rectangle of height 2 and a length of 4, so we find the area of it.
2*4=8m
Finally, we add each of these up.
6m+4m+8m=18m
Sorry if the step by step process was poorly explained, I'm not the best at explaining. Hope this helped, though. :^)
The total distance traveled by the toy car is 18 meters.
What is acceleration?Acceleration of any object is defined as the variation in the speed of the object with the variation of time. Acceleration is a vector term and to define it we require both the magnitude and the direction. The unit of acceleration can be m / sec², miles / sec², etc.
For three seconds, there is a steady acceleration that reaches 4 m/s. This yields a diagonal line when drawn on a velocity/time graph. The following formula can be used to determine the region beneath this line, or the distance it travels:
The triangle area is calculated using the formula:-
A = 0.5(l x h).
A = 0.5(3 x 4)=6m
There is then a constant deceleration of 0.5m/s for 4 seconds. This does also create a diagonal line on a velocity/time graph, but it doesn't go down to 0. What I do is split it up so that a triangle and a rectangle are created from the shape made. The triangle has a height of 2, and a length of 4, so we use the same formula used before.
0.5(2 x 4)=4m
Now, all that remains is a rectangle of height 2 and a length of 4, so we find its area of it.
2 x 4 = 8m
Finally, we add each of these up.
6m+4m+8m=18m
Therefore, the total distance traveled by the toy car is 18 meters.

A voter receives a call in which the caller claims to be conducting a national opinion research poll. The voter is asked if his or her opinion about a congressional candidate would change if he or she knew that the candidate once had a car crash while driving under the influence of alcohol. Identify and explain at least one source of bias in the study described. Then suggest how the bias might have been avoided?
a. The data do not seem to support the claims being made by the study. The researcher should consult an expert to make sure that he or she is correctly interpreting the data.
b. The study does not appear to have a well-defined goal. The researcher should determine his or her goal and precisely define the variables of interest.
c. Since the sample is self-selected, there is a definite participation bias in this study. The researcher should randomly select the subjects of the study.
d. The wording of the question is biased to strengthen opposition against a particular candidate. The question wording should be changed to be more neutral.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. The wording of the question is biased to strengthen opposition against a particular candidate. The question wording should be changed to be more neutral.
Step-by-step explanation:
The phrasing and setup of the poll will produce responses that are biased against the candidate. The setup of the poll should be changed to avoid influencing the opinions of the respondents.

A rectangular box is 4 cm wide, 4 cm tall, and 10 cm long. What is the diameter of the smallest circular opening through which the box will fit? Round to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
Answer:
The diameter of the smallest circular opening through which the box will fit is 5.7 cm to the nearest tenth
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the rectangle are :
height: 4 cm
length: 10 cm
breadth: 4 cm
The diameter of the smallest circular opening through which the box will fit will be equals to the diagonal of a face of the rectangular box.
The face we will try to fit in first will determine the diagonal that we will calculate.
Let us try to fit in the right side of the rectangular box. The face we will have at that side is a square of 4 cm by 4 cm which is formed by the height and the width of the box.
We can calculate the diagonal using Pythagoras Theorem:
diagonal = [tex]\sqrt{height^{2}+ breadth^{2}}= \sqrt{4^{2}+4^{2}}=5.657 \approx 5.7cm[/tex] to the nearest tenth

Steve wants to use his 18% employee discount to buy a video game that has a regular price of $69.99. A 6.5% sales tax is applied to the discounted price. How much will he pay for the game, including sales tax?
Answer:
$61.12
Step-by-step explanation:
Price of the Video game = $69.99
Discount = 18%
Discount price = 18% of $69.99
= $69.99*18/100
= $12.6
Price after Discount = Price - Discount price
= $69.99 - $12.6
= $57.39
Sales tax = 6.5% applied to the discounted price
= 6.5% of $57.39
sales tax in dollars = $57.39 * 6.5/100
= $3.73
The amount he pays for the game = $57.39 + $3.73
= $61.12

A coffe storage bin contains 1500 grams of coffe beans. To make a cup of coffee, n grams of coffe beans are removed
Answer:
The amount remaining in coffee storage bin after making 10cups if coffee = (1500-10n) grams
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is incomplete as we are not told what to determine.
Let's consider the following question:
A coffee storage bin contains 1500 grams of coffee beans. To make a cup of coffee, n grams of coffee beans are removed. How many grams of coffee would be left after making 10 cups of coffee?
Solution:
Total amount of coffee in storage bin = 1500grams
To make one cup of coffee, we need n grams of coffee
The amount remaining for one cup = 1500grams - n grams
To make 10 cups of coffee, we would need = 10× n grams of coffee= 10n grams
The amount remaining in coffee storage bin after making 10cups of coffee = total amount in storage - amount for making 10cups
(1500-10n) grams
