(1) If the regression line equation of y on x is : û :
= 0.2x + 3, the value
ofy from the table when x=5 is 4.6, then the value of the error in the
value of y is ...
a 0.6
b 0.4 C 0.3
d 0.1
Answer:
0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the regression equation :
y = 0.2x + 3,
The actual value of y when x = 5 is 4.6
The predicted of y using the model when x = 5 is :
Put x = 5 in the equation :
y = 0.2(5) + 3
y = 1 + 3
y = 4
The error in the value of y predicted is :
Error = Actual value - Predicted value
Error = 4.6 - 4
Error = 0.6
Find two positive numbers whose product is 64 and whose sum is a minimum. (If both values are the same number, enter it into both blanks.) (smaller number) (larger number)
Answer:
Both the numbers are 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers are p and 64/p.
The sum is given by
[tex]S = p +\frac{64}{p}\\\\\frac{dS}{dp}= 1 - \frac{64}{p^2}\\\\\frac{dS}{dp}=0\\\\\frac{64}{p^2}=1\\\\p= \pm 8[/tex]
So, the sum is minimum for p = 8 0r - 8, so the two numbers 8.
A survey of 249 people asks about their favorite flavor of ice cream. The results of this survey, broken down by the age group of the respondent and their favorite flavor, are as follows:
Chocolate Vanilla Strawberry
Children 40 10 44
Teens 34 10 38
Adults 17 43 13
If one person is chosen at random, find the probability that the person:______.
a) is an adult.
b) likes chocolate the best.
c) is an adult OR likes vanilla the best.
d) is a child AND likes vanilla the best.
e) likes strawberry the best, GIVEN that the person is a child.
f) is a child, GIVEN that the person likes strawberry the best.
Answer:
a) [tex]P(Adult)=\frac{73}{249}=0.2932=29.32%[/tex]
b) [tex]P(Chocolate)=\frac{91}{249}=0.3655=36.55%[/tex]
c) [tex]P(AdultorVanilla)=\frac{31}{83}=0.3734=37.34%[/tex]
d) [tex]P(ChildandVanilla)=\frac{10}{249}=0.0402=4.02%[/tex]
e) [tex]P(Strawberry/Child)=\frac{22}{47}=0.4681=46.81%[/tex]
f) [tex]P(Child/strawberry)=\frac{44}{95}=0.4632=46.32%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
In order to solve part a of the problem, we need to find the number of adults in the survey and divide them into the number of people in the survey by using the following formula>
[tex]P=\frac{desired}{possible}[/tex]
In this case we have a total of 17+43+13 adults which gives us 73 adults and a total of 249 people surveyed so we get:
[tex]P(Adults)=\frac{73}{249}=0.2932=29.32%[/tex]
b)
The same principle works for part b
there are: 40+34+17=91 people who likes chocolate ice cream the best so the probability is:
[tex]P(Chocolate)=\frac{91}{249}=0.3655=36.55%[/tex]
c)
when it comes to the or statement, we can use the following formula:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P( A and B)
In this case:
[tex]P(Adult)=\frac{73}{249}[/tex]
[tex]P(Vanilla)=\frac{10+10+43}{249}=\frac{63}{249}[/tex]
[tex]P(AdultandVanilla)=\frac{43}{249}[/tex]
so:
[tex]P(AdultorVanilla)=\frac{73}{249}+\frac{63}{249}-\frac{43}{249}[/tex]
[tex]P(AdultorVanilla)=\frac{31}{83}=0.3734=37.34%[/tex]
d)
Is a child and likes vanilla the best.
In the table we can see that 10 children like vanilla so the probability is:
[tex]P(ChildandVanilla)=\frac{10}{249}=0.0402=4.02%[/tex]
e)
Likes strawberry the best, GIVEN that the person is a child.
In this case we can make use of the following formula:
[tex]P(B/A)=\frac{P(AandB)}{P(A)}[/tex]
so we can get the desired probabilities. First, for the probability of the person liking strawberry the best and the person being a child, we know that 44 children like strawberry the best, so the probability is:
[tex]P(childrenandstrawberry)=\frac{44}{249}[/tex]
Then, we know there are 40+10+44=94 children, so the probability for the person being a child is:
[tex]P(Child)=\frac{94}{249}[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]P(Strawberry/Child)=\frac{\frac{44}{249}}{\frac{94}{249}}[/tex]
[tex]P(Strawberry/Child)=\frac{22}{47}=0.4681=46.81%[/tex]
f)
The same works for the probability of the person being a child given that the person likes strawberry the best.
First, for the probability of the person liking strawberry the best and the person being a child, we know that 44 children like strawberry the best, so the probability is:
[tex]P(childrenandstrawberry)=\frac{44}{249}[/tex]
Then, we know there are 44+38+13 persons like strawberry, so the probability for the person liking strawberry is:
[tex]P(Child)=\frac{95}{249}[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]P(Child/Strawberry)=\frac{\frac{44}{249}}{\frac{95}{249}}[/tex]
[tex]P(Child/strawberry)=\frac{44}{95}=0.4632=46.32%[/tex]

Researchers study the mean weight (in pounds) of adults between the ages of 30-40. The researchers form a SRS of adults and build a 90% confidence interval: [160, 180]. Which of the following statements are true about this confidence interval?
a. 90% of intervals built according to the method capture the true mean weight of adults between the ages of 30-40.
b. The intervals margin of error is 20.
c. There is a 90% chance that the mean weight of adults between the ages of 30- 40 is between 160 and 180 pounds.
d. The sample mean used to build this interval was 170 pounds.
Answer:
d. The sample mean used to build this interval was 170 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval concepts:
A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.
A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds.
The margin of error is the difference between the two bounds, divided by 2.
In this question:
Bounds 160 and 180, so the sample mean used was (160+180)/2 = 170, and thus the correct answer is given by option d.
29. Family income in the middle class: Bauer et al. (2011) identified the median income of a middle-class family in their sample to be $84,200 annually; the mean family income was $85,300 annually. In their data, the lowest family income reported in this group was $65,100 annually, and the highest family income reported was $103,400 annually. Based on the data given, was the mean an appropriate value to summarize these data
Answer:
No it is not
Step-by-step explanation:
The median is 84200
The mean is 85300
Low income is 65100
High income is 103400
From this information, we can see a skewed data. The mean would not be a good estimate value. Rather the center (median) would be more appropriate.
When we calculate the middle value for this data
65100+103400 = 168500/2 = 84250
84250 is closer to the median score of 84200. The median is best in the presence of outliers.

The probability that a person will develop the flu after getting a flu shot is 0.04. In a random sample of 100 people in a community who got a flu shot, what is the probability that 5 or more of the 100 people will get the flu
Answer:
0.3711 = 37.11% probability that 5 or more of the 100 people will get the flu
Step-by-step explanation:
For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will develop the flu after getting the shot, or they will not. The probability of a person developing the flu after getting the shot is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
The probability that a person will develop the flu after getting a flu shot is 0.04.
This means that [tex]p = 0.04[/tex]
Random sample of 100 people:
This means that [tex]n = 100[/tex]
What is the probability that 5 or more of the 100 people will get the flu?
This is:
[tex]P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.04)^{0}.(0.96)^{100} = 0.0169[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.04)^{1}.(0.96)^{99} = 0.0703[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{100,2}.(0.04)^{2}.(0.96)^{98} = 0.1450[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{100,3}.(0.04)^{3}.(0.96)^{97} = 0.1973[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{100,4}.(0.04)^{4}.(0.96)^{96} = 0.1994[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0169 + 0.0703 + 0.1450 + 0.1973 + 0.1994 = 0.6289[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5) = 1 - 0.6289 = 0.3711[/tex]
0.3711 = 37.11% probability that 5 or more of the 100 people will get the flu
Assume that when blood donors are randomly selected, 45% of them have blood that is Group O (based on data from the Greater New York Blood Program).
1. If the number of blood donors is n = 16 equation, find the probability that the number with Group O blood is equation x = 6.
2. If the number of blood donors is n = 8, find the probability that the number with group O is x = 3.
3. if the number of blood donors is n = 20, find the probability that the number with group O blood is x = 16.
4. if the number of blood donors is n = 11, find the probability that the number with group O blood is x = 9.
Answer:
1. 0.1684 = 16.84%.
2. 0.2568 = 25.68%
3. 0.0013 = 0.13%
4. 0.0126 = 1.26%.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have blood that is Group O, or they do not. The probability of a person having blood that is Group O is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
45% of them have blood that is Group O
This means that [tex]p = 0.45[/tex]
Question 1:
This is P(X = 6) when n = 16. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{16,6}.(0.45)^{6}.(0.55)^{10} = 0.1684[/tex]
So 0.1684 = 16.84%.
Question 2:
This is P(X = 3) when n = 8. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{8,3}.(0.45)^{3}.(0.55)^{5} = 0.2568[/tex]
So 0.2568 = 25.68%.
Question 3:
This is P(X = 16) when n = 20. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.45)^{16}.(0.55)^{4} = 0.0013[/tex]
So 0.0013 = 0.13%.
Question 4:
This is P(X = 9) when n = 11. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{11,9}.(0.45)^{9}.(0.55)^{2} = 0.0126[/tex]
So 0.0126 = 1.26%.

A papaya is accidentally dropped from a bridge, which is 30 m above the water. Ignoring air resistance, the papaya's speed just before it hits the water will be __________ m/s.
Answer:
24 .30ms is the answer I think so if the answer is correct plz mark me as brainliest.
The papaya's speed just before it hits the water will be 24.24 m/s.
What is speed?The rate at which objects moves is called speed. It is given by
[tex]s = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
An object held above the ground has a potential energy related to the height at which it is held,
PE = mgh
If you drop the object, its potential energy will become the kinetic energy of motion:
KE = ½ mv²
½ mv² = mgh
v = √(2gh)
v = √(2*9.8*30)
v = 24.24 m/s

This is a related rates problem from calculus using implicit differentiation. The main equation is Pythagorean's Theorem. Basically, what we are looking for is [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] when y = 6 and [tex]\frac{dy}{dt}=-2[/tex].
The equation for Pythagorean's Theorem is
[tex]x^2+y^2=c^2[/tex] where x and y are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The length of the hypotenuse is 10, so when we find the derivative of this function with respect to time, and using implicit differentiation, we get:
[tex]2x\frac{dx}{dt}+2y\frac{dy}{dt}=0[/tex] and divide everything by 2 to simplify:
[tex]x\frac{dx}{dt}+y\frac{dy}{dt}=0[/tex]. Looking at that equation, it looks like we need a value for x, y, [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex].
Since we are looking for [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex], that can be our only unknown and everything else has to have a value. So what do we know?
If we construct a right triangle with 10 as the hypotenuse and use 6 for y, we can solve for x (which is the only unknown we have, actually). Using Pythagorean's Theorem to solve for x:
[tex]x^2+6^2=10^2[/tex] and
[tex]x^2+36=100[/tex] and
[tex]x^2=64[/tex] so
x = 8.
NOW we can fill in the derivative and solve for [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex].
Remember the derivative is
[tex]x\frac{dx}{dt}+y\frac{dy}{dt}=0[/tex] so
[tex]8\frac{dx}{dt}+6(-2)=0[/tex] and
[tex]8\frac{dx}{dt}-12=0[/tex] and
[tex]8\frac{dx}{dt}=12[/tex] so
[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{12}{8}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5 m/sec[/tex]

Our final answer : 160° . Hope I helped! Let me know if you have any questions regarding my answer! :)▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁
The average undergraduate cost for tuition, fees, and room and board for two-year institutions last year was $13,252. The following year, a random sample of 20 two-year institutions had a mean of $15,560 and a standard deviation of $3500. Is there sufficient evidence at the ?= 0.05 level to conclude that the mean cost has increased. Solve the question by traditional approach.
Answer:
The p-value of the test is 0.0041 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude that the mean cost has increased.
Step-by-step explanation:
The average undergraduate cost for tuition, fees, and room and board for two-year institutions last year was $13,252. Test if the mean cost has increased.
At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean cost is still the same, that is:
[tex]H_0: \mu = 13252[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean cost has increased, that is:
[tex]H_1: \mu > 13252[/tex]
The test statistic is:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
13252 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 13252[/tex]
The following year, a random sample of 20 two-year institutions had a mean of $15,560 and a standard deviation of $3500.
This means that [tex]n = 20, X = 15560, s = 3500[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{15560 - 13252}{\frac{3500}{\sqrt{20}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = 2.95[/tex]
P-value of the test and decision:
The p-value of the test is found using a t-score calculator, with a right-tailed test, with 20-1 = 19 degrees of freedom and t = 2.95. Thus, the p-value of the test is 0.0041.
The p-value of the test is 0.0041 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude that the mean cost has increased.
