A weather forecasting website indicated that there was a 60​% chance of rain in a certain region. Based on that​ report, which of the following is the most reasonable​ interpretation? Choose the correct answer below.
A. 60​% of the region will get rain today.
B. In the​ region, it will rain for 60​% of the day.
C. There is a 0.60 probability that it will rain somewhere in the region at some point during the day.
D. None of the above interpretations are reasonable.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. There is a 0.60 probability that it will rain somewhere in the region at some point during the day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that it will rain is given by =p= 60% = 0.6

60​% chance of rain in a certain region means that the probability of rain in the given region is 0.6 at any time of the day in any part of the region.

So Choice C is the best option.

Choice A is wrong because 60% of the region does not mean 60% of the rain.

Choice B is also wrong because 60​% of the day  does not mean 60% of the rain.

The weather report tells about the rain , not the region or part of the day. So choice C is the best option

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to be using the compound interest formula

Given data

principal P= $5000

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You would want to foil it, which means multiplying one number from each parentheses to the next parentheses, like so:

3p * 2p ^ 2 = 6p^3

3p * -p = -3p

3p * 3 = 9p

-2 * 2p^2 = -4p^2

-2 * -p = 2p

-2 * 3 = - 6

2. Now add all of the numbers we foiled together, thus getting you:

For the diagram, calculate; the radius of the smaller section and the perimeter of the shape of the and;

Answers

Answer:

a). Radius r of the small sector= 12cm

b). Perimeter of the shape= 68 cm

c). Angle= 47.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Radius of the big sector= 24 cm

Arc if the big sector= 20 cm

Arc of the small sector= 10 cm

For the radius r of the small sector

r/10 = 24/20

r=(10*24)/20

r= 24/2

r= 12 cm

Radius r of the small sector= 12cm

b). Perimeter of the shape

= Total length of the shape

Let's note that the other side of the sector is also the radius= 24 cm

Perimeter= 20+24+24

Perimeter of the shape= 68 cm

c) the angle

Length of arc = 2πr*(angle/360)

Let angle = b

Length of arc = 20cm

20= 2*3.14*24*(b/360)

(20*360)/(2*3.14*24)= b

47.7°= b

Angle= 47.7°

Σ_(n=1)^∞ (-1)^n+1 1/7^n n

Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Assume that the population standard deviations are equal.

Answers

Answer:

See the attachment for formatted formulas

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X11, X12, ……,X1n  and X21 , X22……., X2n be two small independent random samples from two normal populations with means u1 and u2  and the standard deviations σ1 and σ2 respectively. If σ1= σ2 (=σ) but unknown then the unbiased pooled or combined estimate of the common variance σ2 (the term variance means that each population has the same variance) is given by

Sp2  = ((n_1-1)  s_(1^2 )+ (n_2-1) s_2^2)/(n_1+n_2-2)

Where

S12 = 1/(n_1- 1) ∑▒〖 (X_1i- X`_1)〗^2  and

S22 = 1/(n_2- 1) ∑▒〖 (X_2j- X`_2)〗^2

The test statistic

t = ((X_1`-X_2`)- (μ_1- μ_2))/(√(s_p&1/n_1 )+ 1/n_2 )

Has t distribution with v= n1 + n2 – 2 degrees of freedom.

It is used as a test statistic for testing hypotheses about the difference between two population means.

The procedure for testing hypothesis H0: μ_1- μ_2= ∆_0 in case of small independent samples when σ_1= σ_2 is as follows.

Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses given  σ_1= σ_2= σ unknown.

H0: μ_1- μ_2= ∆_0  against the appropriate alternative.

Decide the significance level α. The test statistic under H0 is

t = ((X_1`-X_2`)- ∆_0  )/(√(s_p&1/n_1 )+ 1/n_2 )

Which has t distribution with v= n1 + n2 – 2 degrees of freedom.

Identify the critical region Compute the t- value from the given data Reject H0 if t falls in the critical region, accept H0 otherwise.

d

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the calling range (in feet) of Manufacturers 900-MHz cordless telephone is greater than that of its leading competitor

Step-by-step explanation:

   The first sample  size is  [tex]n_1 = 9[/tex]

    The second sample size is [tex]n_2 = 12[/tex]

    The first sample mean is  [tex]\= x_1 = 1260 \ feet[/tex]

     The  second sample mean is  [tex]\= x_2 = 1230[/tex]

     The  first standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma_1 = 24[/tex]

     The second standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma_2 = 37[/tex]

      The significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \le 0[/tex]

The  alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0[/tex]   (Manufacturers claim)

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

       [tex]df = n_1 + n_2 -2[/tex]

       [tex]df = 9 + 12 - 2[/tex]

       [tex]df = 19[/tex]

Generally the pooled standard deviation  is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\sigma_p = \sqrt{ \frac{(n_1 - 1)\sigma_1^2 + (n_2-1 )\sigma_2^2 }{ (n_1 - 1 ) + (n_2 - 1 )} }[/tex]

      [tex]\sigma_p = \sqrt{ \frac{(9 - 1)24^2 + (12-1 )37^2 }{ (9 - 1 ) + (12 - 1 )} }[/tex]

      [tex]\sigma_p =32.17[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      [tex]t = \frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2 }{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_p^2}{n_1 } +\frac{\sigma_p^2}{n_2 } } }[/tex]

    [tex]t = \frac{1260 - 1230 }{\sqrt{\frac{32.17^2}{9 } +\frac{32.17^2}{12 } } }[/tex]

    [tex]t = 2.114[/tex]

Generally the p-value is obtained from the student t distribution table and the value is

    [tex]p-value = P(t > 2.11) = t_{2.11 , 19} = 0.024173[/tex]

Given that the  [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex]

The null hypothesis is rejected

Hence we can conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the calling range (in feet) of Manufacturers 900-MHz cordless telephone is greater than that of its leading competitor

If you roll a die 100 times, what is the approximate probability that you will roll between 9 and 16 ones, inclusive? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) HINT [See Example 4.]

Answers

Answer: 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

n = 100, probability of rolling 1 = 1/6

binomial approximation

np = 100 ( 1/6) = 16.667

standard deviation = √ 100 × 1/6 ×5/6 = 3.7627

P ( 9 ≤ X ≤ 16 )

= P ( 8.5 < X < 16.5 )

so,

= P ((8.5 - 16.6667) / 3.7627 < Z < (16.5 - 16.6667) / 3.7627

= P ( -2.17 < Z < -0.04 )

= 0.484 - 0.015

= 0.47

Therefore the approximate probability that you will roll between 9 and 16 ones is 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy deposited $750 in a saving account that pays 6.75% Interest compounded monthly for 10 years.

Principal amount= $750

Rate of interest= 6.75%

Time= 10 years

Number of times compounded= 10*12

Number of times compounded= 120

A= p(1+r/n)^(nt)

A= 750(1+0.0675/120)^(120*10)

A= 750(1+0.0005625)^(1200)

A= 750(1.0005625)^(1200)

A= 750(1.9637)

A list of the top twenty restaurants in chicago was released. Four of the restaurants specialize in seafood. If five of the restaurants are selected randomly from the list, the standard deviation for the number of restaurants specializing in seafood is_____.

Answers

Answer:

the standard deviation for the number of restaurants specializing in seafood is 0.8944

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Sum total number N of top restaurants in Chicago = 20

Four of the restaurants specialize in seafood,

then , the probability that a randomly selected restaurant from the top 20 in the list will specialize in seafood will be  p = 4/20

p = 0.2

sample size n = 5

Assuming X to be the random variable that follows a Binomial distribution that represent the number of restaurants specializing in seafood.

Then: [tex]X \sim Binomial (n,p)[/tex]

where;

n = 5  and p = 0.2

The standard deviation σ  can be determined by using the formula:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{5\times 0.2(1-0.2)}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{1.0(0.8)}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{0.8}[/tex]

σ = 0.894427191
