Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The variable is
X: average mass of a sample of rocks collected in the waters of a region. (measured in grams)
Variables can be:
Quantitative: they represent number, any characteristic that can be "counted" is a quantitative variable, the most common examples are weight, volume, temperature, height, etc...
There are two types of quantitative variables:
⇒ Discrete variables: The only take certain values within the interval of definition of the variable, for example "number of sales" or "money in a wallet"
⇒ Continuous variables: They can take any value within an interval, in this example that you are working with mass, depending on the precision of the scale the mass can have infinite decimal values.
Qualitative: they represent characteristics that cannot be counted, meaning, they are not represented by numbers. There are many attributes that are qualitative variables, for example: colors, race of an animal, phenotypes, types of business, etc...
1)
The variable in this example is Quantitative, it takes numerical values, and the correct option is:
D. Quantitative, because numerical values, found by either measuring or counting, are used to describe the data.
2)
The values of mass of the rocks can take any value within the range of definition of the variable, they only depend on the precision of the scale used to weight the rocks.
B. Interval, because the differences in the data can be meaningfully measured, but the data do not have a true zero point.
3)
A standard 52-card deck contains 13 cards for each suit (clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades)
To calculate the probability of choosing a card at random and it being a Diamond, supposing that all cards are equally probable, you have to divide the total number of diamonds by the total number of cards in the deck:
P(diamond)= 13/52= 0.25
For items 4) and 5) the contingency tables are attached.
4)
a. and b. are conditional probabilities, to calculate them you have to apply the following formula: [tex]P(A|B)= \frac{P(AnB)}{P(B)}[/tex]
This means that the probability of the event "A" given that event "B" has occurred is equal to the probability of the intersection between events "A" and "B" divided by the probability of event "B"
a. P(A|C)= [tex]\frac{P(AnC)}{P(C)}[/tex]
To calculate the probability of the intersection P(A∩C) you have to divide the observations where both events cross by the total of observations on the table:
P(A∩C)= 10/50= 0.20
The probability of C is found in the margins of the table, in this case you have to divide the total of observations for event C by the total of observations of the table:
P(C)= 21/50= 0.42
Now you can calculate the asked probability:
[tex]P(A|C)= \frac{0.2}{0.42}= 0.48[/tex]
b. P(C|A)= [tex]\frac{P(AnC)}{P(A)}[/tex]
From item a. we already know that P(A∩C)= 10/50= 0.20
The probability of event A is in the margin of the table and you calculate it as:
P(A)= 27/50= 0.54
Then:
[tex]P(C|A)= \frac{0.20}{0.54} = 0.37[/tex]
c. P(BE)
This symbolized the probability of the events "B" and "E" occurring at the same time, you can also symbolize it as P(B∩E)
To calculate the probability of B and E happening you have to do as follows:
P(B∩E)= 8/50= 0.16
5)
a. P(C|A)= 0.37 (As calculated in 4b.)
b. P(BE) and c. P(EB) ⇒ Both expressions symbolize the intersection between events "B" and "E", P(B∩E)= P(E∩B)= 0.16 (As calculated in 4c.)
I hope this helps!

Hello!
The objective of the study was to determine if deficiency of carbon dioxide in the soil affects the phenotype of peas.
The variable of study is X: Phenotype of a pea grown in soil with carbon dioxide deficiency.
Possible values of Phenotype codes:
1= smooth-yellow
2= smooth-green
3= wrinkled-yellow
4= wrinkled-green
The absolute frequencies for each phenotype are:
f(1)= 3
f(2)= 4
f(3)= 6
f(4)= 1
n= 14
a) Mean:
X[bar]= (∑xifi)/n= [(1*3)+(2*4)+(3*6)+(4*1)]/14= 33/14= 2.357= 2.36
The average value is always within range of definition of the variable but it does not necessarily correspond to an observation.
b) Median:
To determine the value that corresponds to the median you have to calculate its position:
For even samples the position is:
PosMe= n/2= 14/2= 7
Then you have to arrange the data from least to greatest, in this case, starting from the first category, you have to determine where the seventh observation is within the observed absolute frequencies. The phenotype that corresponds to the 7th observation is 2= smooth-green.
Me= 2= smooth-green.
c) Mode:
The mode corresponds to the most observed category/ value of the variable, i.e. the category with the most observations is 3= wrinkled-yellow
Md= 3= wrinkled-yellow
d) Midrange: (1 + 4)/2= 2.5
e)
As you can see the variable is qualitative and categorical. Even if all central tendency measurements can be calculated, truth is that the only one that shows any valuable information regarding the data set is the mode.
I hope this helps!
Which table represents a function?
Answers
A professor gives her 100 students an exam; scores are normally distributed. The section has an average exam score of 80 with a standard deviation of 6.5. What percentage of the class has an exam score of A- or higher (defined as at least 90)? Type your calculations along with your answer for full credit; round your final percentage to two decimal places.
Answers
Answer:
6.18% of the class has an exam score of A- or higher.
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 80, \sigma = 6.5[/tex]
What percentage of the class has an exam score of A- or higher (defined as at least 90)?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 90. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{90 - 80}{6.5}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.54[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.54[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9382
1 - 0.9382 = 0.0618
6.18% of the class has an exam score of A- or higher.

Henry, Brian and Colin share some sweets in the ratio 6:4:1. Henry gets 25 more sweets than Colin. How many sweets are there altogether?
Answers
Answer:
There are 55 sweets in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of sweets is t.
Henry, Brian and Colin share some sweets in the ratio 6:4:1.
This means that Henry earns [tex]\frac{6}{6+4+1} = \frac{6}{11}[/tex] of the total(t).
Brian earns [tex]\frac{4}{11}[/tex] of the total.
Colin earns [tex]\frac{1}{11}[/tex] of the total
Henry gets 25 more sweets than Colin.
Henry earns [tex]\frac{6t}{11}[/tex]
Colin earns [tex]\frac{t}{11}[/tex]
So
[tex]\frac{6t}{11} = \frac{t}{11} + 25[/tex]
Multiplying everything by 1
[tex]6t = t + 275[/tex]
[tex]5t = 275[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{275}{5}[/tex]
[tex]t = 55[/tex]
There are 55 sweets in total.

The volume of any cylinder is
V = pi*r^2*h
where r is the radius and h is the height. We are keeping r = 2 the same the entire time, as the first part of the instructions indicate. In contrast, h is allowed to vary or change based on the values shown in the table.
If h = 1, then,
V = pi*r^2*h
V = pi*2^2*1
V = pi*4
V = 4pi
So you'll write "4pi", without quotes of course, in the V column next to h = 1. This first row shows a height of 1 leads to a volume of 4pi.
-------------
Then if h = 2, we have,
V = pi*r^2*h
V = pi*2^2*2
V = pi*8
V = 8pi ... this is written in the second box
and finally if h = 3, we would say,
V = pi*r^2*h
V = pi*2^2*3
V = pi*12
V = 12pi .... and this is placed in the third box
---------------
The values of V we got were: 4pi, 8pi, 12pi
This is for h = 1,2 and 3 respectively in that order.
The sequence 4,8,12 is linear because we are adding 4 each time. More specifically, it fits the equation y = 4x where x = 1,2,3. Think of y = 4x as y = 4x+0 and that fits the slope intercept form y = mx+b.

The given "graph" in the bottom right, lowest corner
Step-by-step explanation:

Note: When there is only one (1) equation give for a graph;
and/or: only one (1) "inequality given";
we look for the symbol.
If the symbol is "not" an "equals" symbol (i.e. not an: = symbol) ;
we check for the type of "inequality" symbol.
If there is a: "less than" (<) ; or a "greater than" (>) symbol; the graph of the "inequality" will have "dashed lines" (since there will be a "boundary").
If there is an "inequality" that is a: "less than or equal to" (≤) ;
or a: "greater than or equal to" (≥) ;
→ then there will be not be a dashed line when graphed;
but rather—a "solid line" ; since "less than or equal to" ;
or "greater than or equal to" —is similar to:
"up to AND including"; or: "lesser/fewer than AND including".).
_________________________
Note: We are given the "inequality" :
→ " y < x² + 4x " .
_________________________________
Note that we have a "less than" symbol (< ) ; so the graph will have a:

_________________________________
Note that all of the graphs among our 4 answer choices have "dotted lines".
Not that all values (all x and y coordinated) within the "shaded portion" of the corresponding graph are considered part of the graph.
As such, given any point within the shaded part, the x and y coordinates must match the inequality (i.e. the given inequality must be true when one puts in the "x-coordinate" and "y-coordinate" into the "given inequality" :
→ " y < x² + 4x " .
_________________________
Likewise, we can take any point within the "white, unshaded" portion of any of the graph, and take the "x-coordinate" and "y-coordinate" of that point, and the inequality: → " y < x² + 4x " ; will not hold true when the "x-coordinate" and "y-coordinate" values of that point— are substituted into the "inequality".

Answers
Answer:
-1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a line can be written y = mx + b where m is the slope.
y = x + 5 can be written as y = 1x + 5 which shows that the slope is 1.
If the slope of a line is m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is -1/m.
So the required slope is -1/1 = -1.
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
the line is exactly opposite like a mirror image when it is perpendicular,
so the gradient of the first line is 1 (because there is no number beside x, the gradient would be 1), that means the opposite of 1 would be -1.
The answer is -1
Two barrels are mathematically similar

The larger barrel has a height of 90cm and a capacity of 160 Liters
-Work out the value of [tex]h[/tex]
Answers
Answer:
h ≈ 77 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us convert the liters to cm³.
Smaller barrel
0.001 litres = 1 cm³
100 litres = 100000 cm³
Larger barrel
0.001 litres = 1 cm³
160 litres = 160000 cm³
For a similar solid figure the cube of their corresponding sides is equal to the volume ratio.
This means
h³/90³ = 100000/160000
cube root both sides
h/90 = ∛100000 / ∛160000
h/90 = 46.4158883/54.2883523
cross multiply
54.2883523h = 46.4158883 × 90
54.2883523h = 4177.429947
divide both side by 54.2883523
h = 4177.429947/54.2883523
h = 76.9489175858

Question:
The relationship between t and r is expressed by the equation 2t+3r+6 = 0. If r increases by 4, which of the following statements about t must be true?
Answer:
The value of t is reduced by 6 when the value of r is increased by 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]2t + 3r + 6 = 0[/tex]
Required
What happens when r is increased by 4
[tex]2t + 3r + 6 = 0[/tex] -------- Equation 1
Subtract 2t from both sides
[tex]2t + 3r + 6 - 2t = 0 - 2t[/tex]
[tex]3r + 6 = - 2t[/tex] --- Equation 2
When r is increased by 4, equation 1 becomes
[tex]2T + 3(r+4) + 6 = 0[/tex]
Note that the increment of r also affects the value of t; hence, the new value of t is represented by T
Open bracket
[tex]2T + 3r+12 + 6 = 0[/tex]
Rearrange
[tex]2T + 3r+6 +12 = 0[/tex]
Substitutr -2t for 3r + 6 [From equation 2]
[tex]2T -2t +12 = 0[/tex]
Make T the subject of formula
[tex]2T = 2t - 12[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]\frac{2T}{2} = \frac{2t - 12}{2}[/tex]
[tex]T = t - 6[/tex]
This means that the value of t is reduced by 6 when the value of r is increased by 4

h(1) = 19
h(2) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the equation by finding two numbers whose
product = a×c and sum = b, then replace the b value with those two numbers and factor the equation.
h = -16t² + 29t + 6
a=-16 b=29 c=6 a×c = -96 b = 29
32 × -3 = 96 32 + (-3) = 29
h = -16t² + 32t -3t + 6
h = -16t(t - 2) -3(t - 2)
h = (-16t - 3) (t - 2)
h = -(16t + 3)(t - 2)
h(0) = -[16(0) + 3] [0 - 2]

Every product manufactured by a company goes through 6 different tests before being shipped out. It is known that the probability that a product passes any single test is 0.9 and the tests are independent. Only those products that pass the first three tests and also pass at least one of the three remaining tests are shipped out. Find the probability that a manufactured product is shipped out.
Answers
Answer:
The Probability that the product is shipped out is 0.7283
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are given that, a product passes through 6 tests before it is shipped out and a product is shipped out only if it passes all the first 3 tests and at least 1 of the remaining 3 tests.
We have P(pass)= 0.9, is the Probability of passing any test.
Which implies, P(fail)= 1- 0.9= 0.1
We have to find the Probability that the product is shipped out.
P(product is shipped out) = P(it passes first 3 tests )*P(passes at least 1 of the remaining 3 tests) •••••••••••(i)
We can take the product as the tests are Independent.
Now, let us obtain
P(it passes first 3 tests ) = P(pass)*P(pass)*P(pass)
=P(pass)]^3 = (0.9)^3 = 0.729
Hence, P( it passes first 3 tests)= 0.729 •••••••(ii)
Now,
P(passes at least 1 of the remaining 3 tests)
= 1-P(fails all the 3 remaining tests)
= 1-(0.1)^3 = 1 - 0.001 = 0.999
Hence,
P(passes atleast 1 of the remaining 3 tests)=0.999 ••••••••(iii)
Now, substituting the 2nd and 3rd equations in the first equation, we have;
P(product is shipped out) = P(it passes first 3 tests )*P(passes at least 1 of the remaining 3 tests)
= (0.729)*(0.999)
= 0.728271
= 0.7283
