A medical statistician wants to estimate the average weight loss of people who are on a new diet plan. In a preliminary study, he guesses that the standard deviation of the population of weight losses is about 10 pounds. How large a sample should he take to estimate the mean weight loss to within 2 pounds, with 90% confidence?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the sample size of the population, we will use the formula for calculating the standard error of the mean. This is expressed as;

SE = zσ/√n

z is the z score at 90% confidence

σ is the standard deviation

n is the sample size

SE is the mean weight loss

Given

z = 1.645

σ = 10

SE = 2

Required

sample size n

Substitute into the given equation;

SE = zσ/√n

2 = (1.645)(10)/√n

2 = 16.45/√n

√n = 16.45/2

√n = 8.225

n = (8.225)²

n = 67.650625

Hence the total sample should be about 68

Two cards are randomly pulled out of a standard pack of 52 cards. What is the probability
that both are face cards?
A. 9/169
B. 12/221
C. 33/676
D. 11/221

Answers

Answer:  D.  11/221

========================================================

Work Shown:

For any given suit, there are 3 face cards: Jack, Queen, King.

There are 4 suits, leading to 4*3 = 12 face cards out of 52 total.

The probability of pulling out a face card is 12/52.

After that card is selected, we have 12-1 = 11 face cards left and 52-1 = 51 cards left overall. This is assuming a replacement is not made, or the card is not put back.

The probability of getting another face card, given the first selection was a face card, is 11/51.

Multiplying the two fractions gives:

P(2 face cards) = P(1st facecard)*P(2nd facecard given 1st facecard)

P(2 face cards) = (12/52)*(11/51)

P(2 face cards) = (12*11)/(52*51)

P(2 face cards) = (3*4*11)/(13*4*3*17)

P(2 face cards) = (11)/(13*17)

P(2 face cards) = 11/221

What is the equation of a hyperbola with a = 5 and c = 15? Assume that the transverse axis is horizontal.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{25} -\frac{y^2}{200} =1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the equation of  hyperbola centered at the origin with transverse horizontal axis has the general form:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2} -\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1\\and\,\,\,\, with\\c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]

since we know that a = 5 ,and c = 15,we can solve for b:

[tex]15=\sqrt{5^2+b^2} \\15^2=25+b^2\\b^2=200\\[/tex]

then the equation of the hyperbola becomes:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{5^2} -\frac{y^2}{200} =1\\\frac{x^2}{25} -\frac{y^2}{200} =1[/tex]

For Carl's birthday, his grandparents gave him a $50 gift card to a local movie theater. The theater charges $6 admission for each movie. How can Carl use an arithmetic sequence to determine the value left on his card after each movie he sees?

Answers

Answer:

50 - 6x = leftover value

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the amount of movies he has seen (pays $6 for each movie)

Carl can use the function → a(n) = 56 - 6n determine the value left on his card after each movie he sees.

We have Carl's grandparents who gave him a $50 gift card to a local movie theater. The theater charges $6 admission for each movie.

We have to check how can Carl use an arithmetic sequence to determine the value left on his card after each movie he sees.

What is an Arithmetic sequence?

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which every term (except the first term) is obtained by adding a constant number to the previous term is called an arithmetic sequence.

According to the question, we have -

Amount in Gift card = $50

Charges for Admission to every new movie = $6

Therefore, we can create a arithmetic sequence with -

a = 50  and  d = -6

Therefore -

a(n) = a + (n - 1)d

a(n) = 50 + (n - 1)(-6)

a(n) = 50 - 6n + 6

a(n) = 56 - 6n

where n denotes the number of movies he watch and a(n) is money remained after watching the movies.

Hence, Carl can use the function a(n) = 56 - 6n determine the value left on his card after each movie he sees.

m1 × m2 = -1

m1 = the coefficient of x

m1 = 2/3

remember : m1 × m2 = -1

2/3 x m2 = -1

2m2 ÷ 3 = -1

(let m2 = x)

2x ÷ 3 = -1

(cross multiply)

2x = 3 × -1

2x = -3

(divide both sides by the coefficient of x)

x = -3/2

Remember : m2 =x

m2 = -3/2

The line that passes through the point (4,2) ;

( note : x¹ = 4 , y¹ = 2)

m = (y - y1) ÷ (x - x1 )

-3/2 = (y - 2) ÷ (x - 4)

(cross multiply)

-3(x - 4) = 2 (y - 2)

-3x +12 = 2y - 4

(make y the subject of formula )

-3x + 12+ 4 = 2y

-3x + 16 = 2y

Find the coordinates of point P that lies along the directed line segment AB in a 2:3 ratio given A (-2, 1), B (3, 4).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(x,y) = (0,\frac{11}{5})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A = (-2,1)[/tex]

[tex]B = (3,4)[/tex]

[tex]m:n = 2:3[/tex]

Required

Determine the coordinates of P

The coordinate of a point when divided into ratio is:

[tex]P(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})[/tex]

Where

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-2,1)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (3,4)[/tex]

[tex]m:n = 2:3[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(x,y) = (\frac{2 * 3 + 3 * -2}{2 + 3},\frac{2 * 4 + 3 * 1}{2 + 3})[/tex]

[tex]P(x,y) = (\frac{6 - 6}{5},\frac{8 + 3}{5})[/tex]

[tex]P(x,y) = (\frac{0}{5},\frac{11}{5})[/tex]

[tex]P(x,y) = (0,\frac{11}{5})[/tex]

Answers

Note: Your option 'b' is somewhat ambiguous, so I am assuming you meant to write the equation y=2x+3 for the 'b' option.

Answer:

the equation y = 2x + 3  has slope m=2 and the y-intercept is 3, and also PASSES through the point (2, 7).

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation parallel to the given line equation will have the same slope.

Given the point (2, 7) from which the equation passes through.

so checking all the equations in the options to check whether any equation passes through or not.

Checking the option 'a':

y = 3x - 2

Putting (2, 7)

7=3(2)-2

7=6-2

7=4

L.H.S is not equal to R.H.S

Therefore, the option 'a' is NOT correct.

So, the equation y = 3x - 2 will NOT PASS through the point (2, 7)

Checking the option 'b':

y = 2x + 3

Putting (2, 7)

7=2(2)+2

7=7

7=7

L.H.S is equal to R.H.S

Therefore, option 'b' is the CORRECT option.

So, the equation y = 2x + 3 will PASS through the point (2, 7)

Checking the option 'c':

y = x-6

Putting (2, 7)

7=2-6

7=-4

L.H.S is not equal to R.H.S

Therefore, the option 'c' is NOT correct.

So, the equation y = x-6 will NOT PASS through the point (2, 7)

Checking the option 'd':

y + 2x = 8

Putting (2, 7)

7+2(2)=8

7+4=8

11=8

L.H.S is not equal to R.H.S

Therefore, the option 'd' is NOT correct.

So, the equation y + 2x = 8 will NOT PASS through the point (2, 7)

Therefore, considering the above analysis, we conclude that:

Option 'b' is the CORRECT option.

So, the equation y = 2x + 3 will PASS through the point (2, 7).

also

The slope-intercept form of the equation is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Therefore, the equation y = 2x + 3  has slope m=2 and the y-intercept is 3, and also PASSES through the point (2, 7).
