[tex]SST = \sum \left (y - \bar{y} \right )^{2}[/tex]= 1816

[tex]SSR = \sum \left ({y}'-\bar{y{}'} \right )^{2}[/tex] = 1511.804

[tex]SSE = \sum \left (y - {y}' \right )^{2}[/tex] = 465.804

Coefficient of determination

[tex]Coefficient \, of \, determination = \dfrac{SSR}{SST}[/tex]= 0.832

Coefficient of correlation =

[tex]r = \dfrac{n\left (\sum xy \right )-\left (\sum x \right )\left (\sum y \right )}{\sqrt{\left [n\sum x^{2}-\left (\sum x \right )^{2} \right ]\left [n\sum y^{2}-\left (\sum y \right )^{2} \right ]}}[/tex]

Ʃxy  = 37500

Ʃx =600

Ʃy = 330

Ʃx² = 74950

Ʃy²  = 19966

[tex]r = \dfrac{6 \left (37500 \right )-\left (600 \right )\left (330 \right )}{\sqrt{\left [6\times 74950-\left (600 \right )^{2} \right ]\left [6 \times 19966-\left (330 \right )^{2} \right ]}} = 0.8636[/tex]

how to find a local minimum of a function?

Answers

Answer:

  Find the places where the derivative is zero and the second derivative is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a function has a minimum where the first derivative is zero and the second derivative is positive.

That will be a "local" minimum if there are other points on the function graph that have values less than that. It will be a "global" minimum if there are no other function values less than that. A global minimum is also a local minimum.

__

On a graph, a local minimum is the bottom of the "U" where the graph changes from negative slope to positive slope.

Fifteen different Thursday evening programs reported that a commercial cost an average of $169,000 with a standard deviation of $81,000. What is the 95% confidence interval for the true mean

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean is between $0 and $342,729

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 15 - 1 = 14

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 14 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.1448

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.1448*81000 = 173,729.

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 169,000 - 173,729 = -4,... = $0(cannot be negative)

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 169,000 + 173,729 = $342,729

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean is between $0 and $342,729

Answers

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

A sports physician conducts an observational study to learn the average amount of time that 3,000 swimmers in the town can hold their breath underwater. He uses 150 sampling of 60 people. The average of the means of all the samplings is 72.7, and the standard deviation is 0.92. This is a histogram of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. Based on this data, with a 95% confidence interval the researchers can determine that the actual average amount of time the entire population can hold their breath under water is?

Given Information:

sample mean time = 72.7

sample standard deviation = 0.92

Sampling size = n = 150

Confidence level = 95%

Required Information:

95% confidence interval = ?  

Answer:

[tex]\text {confidence interval} = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\\text {confidence interval} = 72.7 \pm 0.14836\\\\\text {confidence interval} = 72.7 - 0.14836, \: 72.7 + 0.14836\\\\\text {confidence interval} = (72.552, \: 72.848)\\\\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval is given by

[tex]\text {confidence interval} = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\[/tex]

Where [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] is the sample mean time and Margin of error is given by

[tex]$ MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) $ \\\\[/tex]

Where n is the sampling size, s is the sample standard deviation, and [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] is the t-score corresponding to 95% confidence level.

The t-score corresponding to 95% confidence level is

Significance level = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 150 - 1 = 149

From the t-table at α = 0.025 and DoF = 149

t-score = 1.975

[tex]MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\\\MoE = 1.975\cdot \frac{0.92}{\sqrt{150} } \\\\MoE = 1.96\cdot 0.07512\\\\MoE = 0.14836\\\\[/tex]

So the required 95% confidence interval is

[tex]\text {confidence interval} = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\\text {confidence interval} = 72.7 \pm 0.14836\\\\\text {confidence interval} = 72.7 - 0.14836, \: 72.7 + 0.14836\\\\\text {confidence interval} = (72.552, \: 72.848)\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, we are 95% confident that actual average amount of time the entire population can hold their breath under water is within the range of (72.552, 72.848)

In a randomly selected sample of 500 Phoenix residents, 445 supported mandatory sick leave for food handlers. Legislators want to be very confident that voters will support this issue before drafting a bill. What is the 99% confidence interval for the percentage of Phoenix residents who support mandatory sick leave for food handlers?

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the percentage of Phoenix residents who support mandatory sick leave for food handlers is between 85.40% and 92.60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for the proportion:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

For this problem, we have that:

[tex]n = 500, \pi = \frac{445}{500} = 0.89[/tex]

99% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.575[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.89 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.89*0.11}{500}} = 0.8540[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.89  + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.89*0.11}{500}} = 0.9260[/tex]

For the percentage:

Multiply the proportion by 100.

0.8540*100 = 85.40%

0.9260*100 = 92.60%

The 99% confidence interval for the percentage of Phoenix residents who support mandatory sick leave for food handlers is between 85.40% and 92.60%.

For a hyperbolic mirror the two foci are 42 cm apart. The distance of the vertex from one focus is 6 cm and from the other focus is 36 cm. Position a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the hyperbola and with the foci on the y-axis. Find the equation of the hyperbola.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{y^2}{225} -\dfrac{x^2}{216}=1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For a hyperbolic mirror the two foci are 42 cm apart.

The distance between the foci = 2c.

Therefore:

2c=42c=21

The distance of the vertex from one focus = 6 cm

The distance of the vertex from the other focus = 36 cm

2a=36-6=30

a=15

Now:

[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2\\21^2=15^2+b^2\\b^2=21^2-15^2\\b^2=216\\b=6\sqrt{6}[/tex]

If the transverse axis lies on the y-axis, and the hyperbola is centered at the origin. Then the hyperbola has an equation of the form:

[tex]\dfrac{y^2}{a^2} -\dfrac{x^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is:

[tex]\dfrac{y^2}{225} -\dfrac{x^2}{216}=1[/tex]

An article suggests the uniform distribution on the interval (6.5, 19) as a model for depth (cm) of the bioturbation layer in sediment in a certain region.(a) What are the mean and variance of depth

Answers

Answer:

The mean of depth is 12.75cm.

The variance of depth is of 13.02 cm².

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 mean of the uniform distribution is:

[tex]M = \frac{a+b}{2}[/tex]

The variance of the uniform distribution is given by:

[tex]V = \frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}[/tex]

Uniform distribution on the interval (6.5, 19)

This means that: [tex]a = 6.5, b = 19[/tex]

So

Mean:

[tex]M = \frac{6.5+19}{2} = 12.75[/tex]

The mean of depth is 12.75cm.

Variance:

[tex]V = \frac{(19 - 6.5)^{2}}{12} = 13.02[/tex]

The variance of depth is of 13.02 cm².

A survey showed that 82​% of adults need correction​ (eyeglasses, contacts,​ surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 15 adults are randomly​ selected, find the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 1 a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight​ correction?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] P(X \leq 1)= P(X=0) +P(X=1) [/tex]

And using the probability mass function we can find the individual probabiities

[tex]P(X=0)=(15C0)(0.82)^0 (1-0.82)^{15-0}=6.75x10^{-12}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=1)=(15C1)(0.82)^1 (1-0.82)^{15-1}=4.61x10^{-10}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(X \leq 1)= P(X=0) +P(X=1)= 4.68x10^{-10}[/tex]

And for this case yes we can conclude that 1 a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight​ correction in a sample of 15 since the probability obtained is very near to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of adults who need correction", on this case we now that:

[tex]X \sim Binom(n=15, p=0.82)[/tex]

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]

We want to find this probability:

[tex] P(X \leq 1)= P(X=0) +P(X=1) [/tex]

And using the probability mass function we can find the individual probabiities

[tex]P(X=0)=(15C0)(0.82)^0 (1-0.82)^{15-0}=6.75x10^{-12}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=1)=(15C1)(0.82)^1 (1-0.82)^{15-1}=4.61x10^{-10}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(X \leq 1)= P(X=0) +P(X=1)= 4.68x10^{-10}[/tex]

And for this case yes we can conclude that 1 a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight​ correction in a sample of 15 since the probability obtained is very near to 0

Can it be concluded that if there is a 50% chance of contracting a communicable disease through contact with an infected person, there would be a 100% chance of contracting the disease if 2 contacts were made with the infected person

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "No". The further explanation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability (Keeping the disease out of 1 contact)

= [tex]0.5[/tex]

Probability (not keeping the disease out of 1 contact)

= [tex]1-0.5[/tex]

= [tex]0.5[/tex]

Now,

Probability (not keeping the disease out of 2 contact)

= Keeping the disease out of 1 contact × not keeping the disease out of 1 contact

On putting the estimated values, we get

= [tex]0.5\times 0.5[/tex]

= [tex]0.25[/tex]

So that,

Probability (Keeping the disease out of 2 contact)

= [tex]1-0.25[/tex]

= [tex]0.75 \ i.e., 75 \ percent[/tex]

The research hypothesis is that age is related to memory performance.
This hypothesis is:__________.
a. directional
b. non-directional

Answers

Answer:

b. non-directional

Step-by-step explanation:

A directional hypothesis can be described as a hypothesis which predicts the direction of impact, either positive or negative, of one variable, especially independent variable, on the other variable which is known as an independent variable. For example, the hypothesis "age reduces memory performance" is a directional hypothesis. The reason is that "reduces" show the direction that age has a negative effect on memory performance.

On the other hand, non-directional hypothesis can be described as a hypothesis that does not predict the direction of impact but only states the relationship between two variables. For example, the research hypothesis is in the question that "age is related to memory performance" is non-directional hypothesis. This because the word "related" in the hypothesis only indicate that there is a relationship between the two variables, not the direction of effect of one variable on the other.

The m is the independent variableThe c is the dependent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, cost depends on mileage. Thus cost is the dependent variable.

As a general rule, if you have the form ...

  a = (some expression involving b)

you will find that "a" is the dependent variable, and "b" is the independent variable.

This problem statement gives you ...

  c = (an expression involving m)

"c" is the dependent variable; "m" is the independent variable.

The independent variable is m and the  dependent variable is c.

What are the dependent and independent variables?

The dependent variable is the outcome or result that is affected by the independent variable. The independent variable is the factor that is changed or manipulated in order to observe the effect on the dependent variable.

Given that, the cost to rent a moving truck is a flat fee of $25 plus $0.60 per mile.

The equation c = 25 + 0.6m models the cost, c, in dollars for the number of miles, m, traveled in the truck.

In the given equation c = 25 + 0.6m, c is the dependent variable and the m is the independent variable.

Therefore, the independent variable is m and the  dependent variable is c.

Answer:

270

Step-by-step explanation:

For any arithmetic sequence

nth term is given by

nth term = a + (n-1)d

where a is first term,

d is common difference

d is given by nth term - (n-1)th term

sum of n terms given by

sum = n/2(2a + (n-1)d)

________________________________________________

Given arithmetic sequence

-2,0,2,4,6,8...

first term a = -2

lets take third term as nth term and second term as (n-1)th term to find common difference d.

d = 2 - 0 = 2

using a = -2 , d = 2, n = 18

thus, sum of first 18 terms = n/2(2a + (n-1)d)

                                           =18/2( 2*(-2) + (18-1) 2)

                                           =9 ( -4 + 34)

                                           =9 ( 30) = 270

Thus, sum of first 18 terms is 270.

It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.To that new order we oppose the greater conceptionthe moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in changein a perpetual peaceful revolutiona revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditionswithout the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.
