Determine whether the data described below are qualitative or quantitative and explain why.
The area codes (such as 617 )of the telephones of survey respondents:
a. The data are quantitative because they consist of counts or measurements.
b. The data are quantitative because they don't measure or count anything.
c. The data are qualitative because they don't measure or count anything.
d. The data are qualitative because they consist of counts or measurements.
Answer:
c. The data are qualitative because they don't measure or count anything.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the case of the area codes, the value although is a number and follows some logic, it does not represent a quantity and any mathematical operation on it has no meaning. The number does not measure or count anything.
They have the same meaning as the name of the city or the area.
Design and complete a frequency table for Belinda.
Belinda ask 20 people, how many hours of TV did you watch last week?
Here is the results
3,17,4,4,6,11,14,14,1,20,9,8,9,6,12,7,8,13,13,9.
Belinda wants to show these result in a frequency table.
She will use 4 equal groups.
The first group will start with 1 hour and the last group will end with 20 hours.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she will use 4 groups or class intervals, the the class width would be 20/4 = 5 hours
The class groups would be
1 to 5
5 to 10
10 to 15
15 to 20
The class mark for each class is the average of the minimum and maximum value of each class. Therefore, the class marks are
(1 + 5)/2 = 3
(5 + 10)/2 = 7.5
(10 + 15)/2 = 12.5
(15 + 20)/2 = 17.5
The frequency table would be
Class group Frequency
1 - 5 4
5 - 10 8
10 - 15 6
15 - 20 2
The total frequency is 4 + 8 + 6 + 2 = 20

On hot, sunny, summer days, Jane rents inner tubes by the river that runs through her town. Based on her past experience, she has assigned the following probability distribution to the number of tubes she will rent on a randomly selected day.
x 25 50 75 100 Total
P(x) 0.16 0.36 0.38 0.10 1.00
Find the probability expressions: (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
a. P(X=50)P(X=50).
b. P(X≤75)P(X≤75).
c. P(X>50)P(X>50).
d. P(X<100)P(X<100).
Answer:
a. P(X=50)= 0.36
b. P(X≤75) = 0.9
c. P(X>50)= 0.48
d. P(X<100) = 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
The given data is
x 25 50 75 100 Total
P(x) 0.16 0.36 0.38 0.10 1.00
Where X is the variable and P(X) = probabililty of that variable.
From the above
a. P(X=50)= 0.36
We add the probabilities of the variable below and equal to 75
b. P(X≤75) = 0.16+ 0.36+ 0.38= 0.9
We find the probability of the variable greater than 50 and add it.
c. P(X>50)= 0.38+0.10= 0.48
It can be calculated in two ways. One is to subtract the probability of 100 from total probability of 1. And the other is to add the probabilities of all the variables less than 100 . Both would give the same answer.
d. P(X<100)= 1- P(X=100)= 1-0.1= 0.9
a football team had 50 players at the start of the season, but then some players left the team. After that, the team had 42 players
Answer:
50 = p + 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The unknown part of this equation is the variable p, the number of people that left. So you want to add p to 42 and that will give you the total number of football players, which is 50. In order to get p, you need to get it by itself and make it equal something. Subtract 42 from both sides and you are stuck with 50-42 = p
p = 8
Answer:
50-p=42

A random sample of math majors taking an introductory statistics course were surveyed after completing the final exam. They were asked, "How many times did you review your final exam before handing it in to the professor?" The results are displayed in a probability density function for the random variable X, the number of times students reviewed their exam before handing it in. Find the standard deviation of X. Round the final answer to two decimal places. x P(X = x) 1 1/5 2 2/5 7 2/5
Answer:
[tex] E(X) =1 *\frac{1}{5} +2 *\frac{2}{5} +7*\frac{2}{5}= 3.8[/tex]
Now we can find the second moment with this formula:
[tex] E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] E(X^2) =1^2 *\frac{1}{5} +2^2 *\frac{2}{5} +7^2*\frac{2}{5}= 21.4[/tex]
The variance would be given by:
[tex] Var(X) =E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 21.4 -[3.8]^2 = 6.96[/tex]
And the deviation would be:
[tex] Sd(X) =\sqrt{6.96}= 2.638[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following distribution given:
X 1 2 7
P(X) 1/5 2/5 2/5
We need to begin finding the mean with this formula:
[tex] E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] E(X) =1 *\frac{1}{5} +2 *\frac{2}{5} +7*\frac{2}{5}= 3.8[/tex]
Now we can find the second moment with this formula:
[tex] E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] E(X^2) =1^2 *\frac{1}{5} +2^2 *\frac{2}{5} +7^2*\frac{2}{5}= 21.4[/tex]
The variance would be given by:
[tex] Var(X) =E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 21.4 -[3.8]^2 = 6.96[/tex]
And the deviation would be:
[tex] Sd(X) =\sqrt{6.96}= 2.638[/tex]
A commuter uses a bus and a train to get to work. The train is more than 5 minutes late 1/6 of the times they use it The bus is more than 5 minutes late 3/5 of the times they use it. What is the probability that both the bus and train will be more than 5 minutes late?
Answer:
10% probability that both the bus and train will be more than 5 minutes late
Step-by-step explanation:
Independent events:
If two events, A and B, are independent, we have that:
[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B)[/tex]
What is the probability that both the bus and train will be more than 5 minutes late?
The bus being more than 5 minutes late is independent of the train, and vice versa. So
Event A: Bus more than 5 minutes late
Event B: Train more than 5 minutes late
The train is more than 5 minutes late 1/6 of the times they use it
This means that [tex]P(B) = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]
The bus is more than 5 minutes late 3/5 of the times they use it.
This means that [tex]P(A) = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(A \cap B) = \frac{3}{5}*\frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{30} = 0.1[/tex]
10% probability that both the bus and train will be more than 5 minutes late
If you have changed the tires on your car, the original diameter is 24.5 inches. to a new diameter of 26 inches, how fast are you actually going if your speedometer is reading 53 mph? A. 50.5 mph B. 53 mph C. 56.2 mph D. 62.8 mph
Answer: c) 56.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Compare the original rate to the the new rate:
[tex]\dfrac{diameter}{mph}:\dfrac{24.5\ in}{53\ mph}=\dfrac{26\ in}{x}\\\\\\24.5x=53(26)\\\\\\x=\dfrac{53(26)}{24.5}\\\\\\x=\large\boxed{56.2\ mph}[/tex]

Plastic knives are sold in packs of 15 for 32p. Plastic forks are sold in packs of 12 for 43p. Sam wants to buy the same number of forks as knives. What is the least amount of money Sam will be able to spend?
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the lowest common multiple of 15 and 12.
Which is 60.
15×4=60 so 32x4=£1.28
12x5=60 so 43x5=£2.15
2.15+1.28= £3.43
Find the area of a triangle bounded by the y-axis, the line f(x)=9−2/3x, and the line perpendicular to f(x) that passes through the origin. Area =
Answer:
The area of the triangle is 18.70 sq.units.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is provided that a triangle is bounded by the y-axis, the line [tex]f(x)=y=9-\frac{2}{3}x[/tex].
The slope of the line is: [tex]m_{1}=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
A perpendicular line passes through the origin to the line f (x).
The slope of this perpendicular line is:[tex]m_{2}=-\frac{1}{m_{1}}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
The equation of perpendicular line passing through origin is:
[tex]y=\frac{3}{2}x[/tex]
Compute the intersecting point between the lines as follows:
[tex]y=9-\frac{2}{3}x\\\\\frac{3}{2}x=9-\frac{2}{3}x\\\\\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{2}{3}x=9\\\\\frac{13}{6}x=9\\\\x=\frac{54}{13}[/tex]
The value of y is:
[tex]y=\frac{3}{2}x=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{54}{13}=\frac{81}{13}[/tex]
The intersecting point is [tex](\frac{54}{13},\ \frac{81}{13})[/tex].
The y-intercept of the line f (x) is, 9, i.e. the point is (0, 9).
So, the triangle is bounded by the points:
(0, 0), (0, 9) and [tex](\frac{54}{13},\ \frac{81}{13})[/tex]
Consider the diagram attached.
Compute the area of the triangle as follows:
[tex]\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times \frac{54}{13}=18.69231\approx 18.70[/tex]
Thus, the area of the triangle is 18.70 sq.units.
According to a polling organization, 22% of adults in a large region consider themselves to be liberal. A survey asked 200 respondents to disclose their political philosophy: Conservative, Liberal, Moderate. Treat the results of the survey as a random sample of adults in this region. Do the survey results suggest the proportion is higher than that reported by the polling organization? Use an alphaequals0.01 level of significance.
Answer:
No. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of liberals is higher than that reported by the polling organization (P-value = 0.0366).
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete: there is no information about the results of the survey. We will assume that 55 of the subjects answer "liberal", and test the claim.
This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.
The claim is that the proportion of liberals is higher than that reported by the polling organization.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \pi=0.22\\\\H_a:\pi>0.22[/tex]
The significance level is 0.01.
The sample has a size n=200.
The sample proportion is p=0.275.
[tex]p=X/n=55/200=0.275[/tex]
The standard error of the proportion is:
[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.22*0.78}{200}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.000858}=0.029[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:
[tex]z=\dfrac{p-\pi-0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.275-0.22-0.5/200}{0.029}=\dfrac{0.053}{0.029}=1.792[/tex]
This test is a right-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:
[tex]\text{P-value}=P(z>1.792)=0.0366[/tex]
As the P-value (0.0366) is greater than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.
The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of liberals is higher than that reported by the polling organization.
A spinner has 10 equally sized sections, 8 of which are gray and 2 of which are blue. The spinner is spun twice. What is the probability that the first spin lands on gray and the second spin lands on blue ? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
Answer:
4/25
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability the first spin lands on gray is 8/10 = 4/5.
The probability the second spin lands on blue is 2/10 = 1/5.
The probability of both events is 4/5 × 1/5 = 4/25.
The lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min. If one such class is randomly selected, find the probability that the class length is between 50.1 and 51.1 min. P(50.1 < X < 51.1) =
Answer:
P(50.1 < X < 51.1) = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.
For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.
The probability that we find a value X between c and d is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(c < X < d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]
The lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min.
This means that [tex]a = 50, b = 52[/tex]
So
[tex]P(50.1 < X < 51.1) = \frac{51.1 - 50.1}{52 - 50} = 0.5[/tex]

Dorothy Kaatz, a computer programmer, earns a regular hourly rate of
$15.25 and earns double that when she works overtime. Kaatz usually works
40 regular hours and 12 hours overtime while she's trying to update the
company's systems before the month's end. What is her straight-time pay?
What is her overtime pay? What is her total pay?
Answer:
$976
Step-by-step explanation:
Straight time pay= $15.25(hourly rate) × 40(hours worked)= $610
Overtime Rate = 15.25×2= $30.50
Overtime Pay= $30.5 × 12 (Hours worked overtime)= $366
Total Pay= Basic wage + Overtime Wage = $976
The following histogram shows the exam scores for a Prealgebra class. Use this histogram to answer the questions.Prealgebra Exam ScoresScores 70.5, 75.5, 80.5, 85.5, 90.5, 95.5, 100.5Frequency 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24Step 1 of 5:Find the number of the class containing the largest number of exam scores (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).Step 2 of 5:Find the upper class limit of the third class.Step 3 of 5:Find the class width for this histogram.Step 4 of 5:Find the number of students that took this exam.Step 5 of 5:Find the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.595.5. Round your answer to the nearest percent.
Answer:
The number of the class containing the largest score can be found in frequency 24 and the class is 98 - 103
For the third class 78 - 83 ; the upper limit = 83
The class width for this histogram 5
The number of students that took the exam simply refers to the frequency is 84
The percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is 53%
Step-by-step explanation:
The objective of this question is to use the following histogram that shows the exam scores for a Pre-algebra class to answer the question given:
NOW;
The table given in the question can be illustrated as follows:
S/N Class Score Frequency
1 68 - 73 70.5 0
2 73 - 78 75.5 4
3 78 - 83 80.5 8
4 83 - 88 85.5 12
5 88 - 93 90.5 16
6 93 - 98 95.5 20
7 98 - 103 100.5 24
TOTAL: 84
a) The number of the class containing the largest score can be found in frequency 24 and the class is 98 - 103
b) For the third class 78 - 83 ; the upper limit = 83 ( since the upper limit is derived by addition of 5 to the last number showing in the highest value specified by the number in the class interval which is 78 ( i.e 78 + 5 = 83))
c) The class width for this histogram 5 ; since it is the difference between the upper and lower boundaries limit of the given class.
So , from above the difference in any of the class will definitely result into 5
d) The number of students that took the exam simply refers to the frequency ; which is (0+4+8+12+16+20+24) = 84
e) Lastly; the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is ;
⇒[tex]\dfrac{20+24}{84} *100[/tex]
= 0.5238095 × 100
= 52.83
To the nearest percentage ;the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is 53%
Answer:
1. 98-103 (6th class)
2. 88
3. 5
4. 84
5. 52%
Step-by-step explanation:
Find attached the frequency table.
The class of exam scores falls between (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).
The exam score ranged from 68-103
1) The largest number of exam scores = 24
The largest number of exam scores is in the 6th class = 98 -103
Step 2 of 5:
The upper class limit is the higher number in an interval. Third class interval is 83-88
The upper class limit of the third class 88.
Step 3 of 5:
Class width = upper class limit - lower class limit
We can use any of the class interval to find this as the answer will be the same. Using the interval between 73-78
Class width = 78 - 73
Class width for the histogram = 5
Step 4 of 5:
The total of students that took the test = sum of all the frequency
= 0+4+8+12+16+20+24 = 84
The total of students that took the test = 84
Step 5 of 5:Find the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5
Number of student that scored higher than 95.5 = 20 + 24 = 44
Percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 = [(Number of student that scored higher than 95.5)/(total number of students that took the test)] × 100
= (44/84) × 100 = 0.5238 × 100 = 52.38%
Percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 = 52% (nearest percent)
9. In 2002 the Georgia department of education reported a mean reading test score of 850 from Tattnall County Career Academy with a standard deviation of 50. The sample was taken from 100 11th grade students. Assuming the test scores are normally distributed, what is the standard error
Answer:
The standard error = 5
Step-by-step explanation:

1. In an arithmetic sequence, the first term is -2, the fourth term is 16, and the n-th term is 11,998
(a) Find the common difference d
(b) Find the value of n.
pls help...
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d
(a)
Given a₁ = - 2 and a₄ = 16, then
a₁ + 3d = 16 , that is
- 2 + 3d = 16 ( add 2 to both sides )
3d = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
d = 6
--------------
(b)
Given
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 11998 , then
a₁ + (n - 1)d = 11998 , that is
- 2 + 6(n - 1) = 11998 ( add 2 to both sides )
6(n - 1) = 12000 ( divide both sides by 6 )
n - 1 = 2000 ( add 1 to both sides )
n = 2001

The average math SAT score is 511 with a standard deviation of 119. A particular high school claims that its students have unusually high math SAT scores. A random sample of 55 students from this school was selected, and the mean math SAT score was 528. Is the high school justified in its claim? Explain. ▼ No Yes , because the z-score ( nothing) is ▼ unusual not unusual since it ▼ does not lie lies within the range of a usual event, namely within ▼ 1 standard deviation 2 standard deviations 3 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Answer:
No, because the z-score of Z = 1.06 is not unusual since it does not lie within the range of a usual event, namely within 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
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.
Unusual
If X is more than two standard deviations from the mean, x is considered unusual.
In this question:
[tex]\mu = 511, \sigma = 119, n = 55, s = \frac{119}{\sqrt{55}} = 16.046[/tex]
A random sample of 55 students from this school was selected, and the mean math SAT score was 528. Is the high school justified in its claim?
If Z is equal or greater than 2, the claim is justified.
Lets find Z.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{528 - 511}{16.046}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.06[/tex]
1.06 < 2, so 528 is not unusually high.
The answer is:
No, because the z-score of Z = 1.06 is not unusual since it does not lie within the range of a usual event, namely within 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
The statement that could be made regarding the high school about the justification of its claim would be:
- No, because the z-score of Z = 1.06 is not unusual since it does not lie within the range of a usual event, namely within 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
Given that,
μ = 511
σ = 119
Sample(n) = 55
and
s = [tex]119/\sqrt{55}[/tex]
[tex]= 16.046[/tex]
As we know,
The claim of the high school could be valid and justified only when
[tex]Z > 2[/tex]
To find,
The value of Z
So,
[tex]Z = (X -[/tex] μ )/σ
by putting the values using Central Limit Theorem,
[tex]Z = (528 - 511)/16.046[/tex]
∵ [tex]Z = 1.06[/tex]
Since [tex]Z < 2[/tex], the claim is not justified.

Ms. Ironperson and Mr. Thoro are making
Avenger posters to give children when they
visit Avenger Academy. Ms. Ironperson has
completed 12 posters and will complete 6
more per day. Mr. Thoro has not started yet
but can make 12 per day. At some point Mr.
Thoro will catch up and both will have finished
the same number of posters. When this does
happen, how many posters will each Avenger
have completed?
If x denotes the number of days and y denotes
the number of posters, what are the equations
needed to solve this problem? (7 points)
Answer:
y = 12 + 6x
y = 12x
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information provided, the following equations are derived:
y = 12 + 6x ------- Eqn 1
y = 12x ------- Eqn 2
Since Eqns 1 and 2 have the same subject, we equate them to solve for x. We have:
12x = 12 + 6x
Putting like terms together, we have:
12x - 6x = 12 ⇒ (12 - 6)x = 12
6x = 12 ⇒ x = 2
x = 2
Substitute x into Eqn 1 or 2
Eqn 1
y = 12 + 6x
y = 12 + 6(2) = 12 + 12
y = 24
Eqn 2
y = 12x
y = 12(2)
y = 24
It means that it will take Ms. Ironperson and Mr. Thoro 2 days apiece to produce the same number of posters at the current rate (which is 24 posters). Both Ms. Ironperson and Mr. Thoro will individually take 2 days to produce 24 Avenger posters apiece.
