A public health researcher examines the medical records of a group of 937 men who died in 1999 and discovers that 210 of the men died from causes related to heart disease. Moreover, 312 of the 937 men had at least one parent who suffered from heart disease, and, of these 312 men, 102 died from causes related to heart disease. Calculate the probability that a man randomly selected from this group died of causes related to heart disease, given that neither of his parents suffered from heart disease. (A) 0.115 (B) 0.173 (C) 0.224 (D) 0.327 (E) 0.514

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is (B) 0.173.

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of total probability states that:

[tex]P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^{c})[/tex]

The conditional probability of an event A given that another event B has already occurred is:

[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}[/tex]

Then the probability of intersection of A and B is:

[tex]P(A\cap B)=P(A|B)\cdot P(B)[/tex]

Denote the events as follows:

H = a man died from causes related to heart disease.

X = a man had at least one parent who suffered from heart disease

The information provided is:

[tex]P(H)=\frac{210}{937}\\\\P(X)=\frac{312}{937}\\\\P(H|X)=\frac{102}{312}[/tex]

The probability that a man randomly selected from this group died of causes related to heart disease, given that neither of his parents suffered from heart disease is, [tex]P(H|X^{c})[/tex].

Compute the value of [tex]P(H|X^{c})[/tex] as follows:

[tex]P(H)=P(H|X)\cdot P(X)+P(H|X^{c})\cdot P(X^{c})[/tex]

[tex]\frac{210}{937}=[\frac{102}{312}\cdot \frac{312}{937}]+[P(H|X^{c})\cdot (1-\frac{312}{937})]\\\\\frac{210}{937}-\frac{102}{937}=[P(H|X^{c})\cdot \frac{625}{937}]\\\\\frac{108}{937}=P(H|X^{c})\cdot \frac{625}{937}\\\\P(H|X^{c})=\frac{108}{937}\times \frac{937}{625}\\\\P(H|X^{c})=0.1728\\\\P(H|X^{c})\approx 0.173[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a man randomly selected from this group died of causes related to heart disease, given that neither of his parents suffered from heart disease is 0.173.

The correct option is (B).

Similar triangles have the same shape but there sizes may vary. In similar triangles, corresponding sides are always in the same ratio.

The corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore, the similarity ratio can be found as follows:

PQ / VX = PR / VW = QR / XW

Therefore,

8 / 2 = 4 / 1 = 8 / 2

4 / 1 = 4 / 1 = 4 / 1

Which is the equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with focus 0,4) and vertex (0, square root of 12 )?

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the hyperbola is:

[tex]\frac{x^{2}}{76} - \frac{y^{2}}{12} = 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a hyperbola centered in the origin in standard form is:

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

The distance between both vertexes is equal to:

[tex]2\cdot b = \sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{12})^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot b = 2\cdot \sqrt{12}[/tex]

[tex]b = \sqrt{12}[/tex]

Now, the distance between any of the vertexes and origin is:

[tex]c = \sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+[(4-(-4)]^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]c = 8[/tex]

The remaining parameter of the hyperbola is determined by the following Pythagorean expression:

[tex]c^{2} = a^{2} - b^{2}[/tex]

[tex]a = \sqrt{c^{2}+b^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]a = \sqrt{64+12}[/tex]

[tex]a = \sqrt{76}[/tex]

The equation of the hyperbola is:

[tex]\frac{x^{2}}{76} - \frac{y^{2}}{12} = 1[/tex]

Answer:

The equation of the hyperbola is:

x²/76 - y²/12 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard for of an equation of a hyperbola centered in the origin is given as:

x²/a² - y²/b² = 1

The distance between both vertexes is:

2b, where b = √12

The distance between any of the vertexes and origin is:

c = 8

But a² = b² + c² (Pythagoras rule)

c² = a² - b²

8² = a² - 12

a² = 64 + 12 = 76

a = √76

Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is:

x²/76 - y²/12 = 1

Use the normal distribution and the given sample results to complete the test of the given hypotheses. Assume the results come from a random sample and use a 5 % significance level. Test H0 : p = 0.5 vs Ha : p > 0.5 using the sample results p= 0.64 with n = 75. Round your answer for the test statistic to two decimal places, and your answer for the p-value to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.64 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{75}}}=2.43[/tex]  

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability:

[tex]p_v =P(z>2.43)=0.0075 \approx 0.008[/tex]  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion for this case is higher than 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=75 represent the random sample taken

[tex]\hat p=0.64[/tex] estimated proportion of interest

[tex]p_o=0.5[/tex] is the value that we want to test

[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to verify if the true proportion is higher than 0.5:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p =0.5[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p > 0.5[/tex]  

The statistic is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

[tex]z=\frac{0.64 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{75}}}=2.43[/tex]  

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability:

[tex]p_v =P(z>2.43)=0.0075 \approx 0.008[/tex]  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion for this case is higher than 0.5

Testing the hypothesis, it is found that:

The test statistic is z = 2.42.The p-value is of 0.008.Since the p-value of the test is 0.008 < 0.05, there is significant evidence to conclude that the proportion is greater than 0.5.

The null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.5[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is:

[tex]H_0: p > 0.5[/tex].

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\overline{p}[/tex] is the sample proportion. p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis. n is the sample size.

For this problem, the parameters are: [tex]\overline{p} = 0.64, p = 0.5, n = 75[/tex].

The value of the test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.64 - 0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{75}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2.42[/tex]

The p-value is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.64, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 2.42.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2.42 has a p-value of 0.992.

1 - 0.992 = 0.008, hence, the p-value is of 0.008.

Since the p-value of the test is 0.008 < 0.05, there is significant evidence to conclude that the proportion is greater than 0.5.

In the right hexagonal pyramid below. The hexagonal base is regular and has sides that are 8 units long. The altitude of the pyramid is 18 units. Determine the volume of the pyramid to the nearest cubic unit.

Answers

Answer:

The volume is 997.62 cubic units..

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following details:

The pyramid has a regular hexagonal base i.e. each side of hexagon is equal.

Side of hexagonal base, a = 8 units

Altitude of pyramid, h = 18 units

We have to find the volume of pyramid.

Formula:

[tex]V = \dfrac{1}{3} \times B \times h[/tex]

Where, B is the area of base of pyramid.

h is the height/altitude of pyramid

To calculate B:

Here, base is a hexagon with side 8 units.

[tex]\text{Area of hexagon, B }= 6 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^{2}[/tex]

Here, a = 8 units

[tex]\Rightarrow B = 6 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow B = 166.27\text{ square units}[/tex]

Putting values of B and h in Formula of volume:

[tex]\Rightarrow V = \dfrac{1}{3} \times 166.27 \times 18\\\Rightarrow V = \dfrac{2992.89}{3} = 997.62\text{ cubic units}[/tex]

Hence, the volume is 997.62 cubic units.

a cylinder has a volume of (x+5) (x^2+10x+25)pi and a diameter of 2x+10. Find the height. PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer:

Height = (x² + 10x + 25)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

volume of cylinder; v = (x+5)•(x² + 10x + 25)π

Diameter = 2x + 10

So radius;r = diameter/2 = (2x + 10)/2 = x + 5

Now,formula for volume of cylinder is;

V = πr²h

Where r is radius and h is height

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(x+5)•(x² + 10x + 25)π = π(x + 5)*h

Dividing both sides by π(x + 5) gives us;

h = (x² + 10x + 25)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(X<31)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{31-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{31-24.8}{6.2})=P(z<1)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution or excel and we got:

[tex]P(z<1)= 0.84[/tex]

And if we convert this into % we got 84% so then the best solution would be:

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the size of gasoline tanks of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(24.8,6.2)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=24.8[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=6.2[/tex]

We are interested on this probability

[tex]P(X<31)[/tex]

And we can use the z score formula given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Using the last formula we got:

[tex]P(X<31)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{31-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{31-24.8}{6.2})=P(z<1)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution or excel and we got:
