In the class legal case of Whitus v. Georgia, a jury pool of 90 people was supposed to be randomly selected from a population in which 27% were minorities. Among the 90 people se- lected, 7 were minorities. The baseline hypothesis, or null, was that the jury selection process was random. The test hypothesis, or alternative, was the process was not random (suggesting bias).
Find the probability of getting 7 or fewer minorities in a world where the jury pool selection pro- cess was supposed to be random.
a. .35400000
b. .00000354
C..00000451
d. 00000000
Answer:
C..00000451
Step-by-step explanation:
For each person in the jury, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they were minorities, or they were not. The probability of a person being a minority is independent of any other person. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution 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.
Population in which 27% were minorities.
This means that [tex]p = 0.27[/tex]
90 people
This means that [tex]n = 90[/tex]
Find the probability of getting 7 or fewer minorities in a world where the jury pool selection pro- cess was supposed to be random.
This is
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{90,0}.(0.27)^{0}.(0.73)^{90} \approx 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{90,1}.(0.27)^{1}.(0.73)^{89} \approx 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{90,2}.(0.27)^{2}.(0.73)^{88} \approx 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{90,3}.(0.27)^{3}.(0.73)^{87} = \approx 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{90,4}.(0.27)^{4}.(0.73)^{86} = 0.00000002[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{90,5}.(0.27)^{5}.(0.73)^{85} = 0.00000015[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{90,6}.(0.27)^{6}.(0.73)^{84} = 0.00000080[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{90,7}.(0.27)^{7}.(0.73)^{83} = 0.00000354[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = 0.00000002 + 0.00000015 + 0.00000080 + 0.00000354 = 0.00000451[/tex]
So the correct answer is given by option C.
Three landmarks of baseballachievement are Ty Cobb’s batting average of 0.420 in 1911,Ted Williams’s 0.406 in 1941, and George Brett’s 0.390in 1980. These batting averages cannot be compared directly becausethe distribution of major league batting averages has changed overthe years. The distributions are quite symmetric and (except foroutliers such as Cobb, Williams, and Brett) reasonably normal.While the mean batting average has been held roughly constant byrule changes and the balance between hitting and pitching, thestandard deviation has dropped over time. Here are the facts:
Decade
Mean
Standard Deviation
1910s
0.266
0.0371
1940s
0.267
0.0326
1970s
0.261
0.0317
Compute the standard units for the batting averages of Cobb,Williams, and Brett to compare how far each stood above his peers.Who is the better player of the three?
Answer:
Ted Williams has the highest standardized score, hence Williams is the best of the three
Cobb is the second highest and hence, the better player
George Brett is third
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
Decade : 1910 __ 1940 ____ 1970
Mean, μ: 0.266 __0.267 ___ 0.261
S/dev, σ : 0.0371 _ 0.0326 __ 0.0317
To compute the standard unit for batting averages, we obtain the standardized score for each of Cobb,Williams, and Brett.
Standardized score (Zscore) : (x - μ) / σ
Cobb, x = 0.420
Ted Williams, x = 0.406
George Brett, x = 0.390
COBB:
Zscore = (0.420 - 0.266) / 0.0371 = 4.1509
Ted Williams :
Zscore = (0.406 - 0.267) / 0.0326 = 4.2638
George, Brett = (0.390 - 0.261) / 0.0317 = 4.0694
Ted Williams has the highest standardized score, hence Williams is the best of the three
Cobb is the second highest and hence, the better player
George Brett is third
In a survey of 140 undergraduate students in an elementary statistics class at UW, 12 said they were left-handed and 128 said they were right-handed. Assume the students are representative of all UW undergrads. Do these data provide evidence that the proportion of UW undergrads who are left-handed differs from the national proportion of 0.10 at the 5% significance level?
data: 12 out of 140, null probability 0.1 z = 0.563, p-value = 0.5731 alternative hypothesis: true p is not equal to 0.1 95 percent confidence interval: 0.04971124 0.14384532 sample estimates: P 0.08571429
a) Define the null and alternative hypothesis for answering the question being asked. Define both in words and in symbols.
b) The R output for running this test is shown below. What do you conclude for this test? Include your decision and an interpretation in the context of the problem. Be specific.
c) Explain in words what the p-value of 0.5731 means.
Answer:
a) The null hypothesis, H₀; p = 0.1
The alternative hypothesis, Hₐ; p ≠ 0.1
b) The proportion of left handed undergrads in UW differs from the national proportion of 0.1
c) The p-value is larger than the level of significance therefore there is statistical evidence supporting the alternative hypothesis
Step-by-step explanation:
The given data are;
The number of students in the sample, n = 140
The number of left handed students in the sample = 12
The number of right handed students in the sample = 128
The proportion of left handed students in the sample, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = 12/140 = 0.08571429
The significance level = 5%
The national proportion, p₀ = 0.1
a) The null hypothesis, H₀; p = 0.1
The null hypothesis is the proportion of left handed students in the UW is the same as the national proportion of 0.1
The alternative hypothesis, Hₐ; p ≠ 0.1
The alternative hypothesis is the proportion of left handed students in the UW is not the same as the national proportion of 0.1
b) Given from the output values of the Confidence Interval at 95% confidence level, (0.04971124, 0.14384532) which are both positive values, and the p-value of 0.5731, we conclude that there is a difference between the proportion of left-handed UW undergraduate students and the national proportion of 0.1
c) Given that the p-value of 0.5731 is larger than the significance level of 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and there is significant statistical evidence to suggest that the proportion of UW undergrads who are left handed differs from the national proportion of 0.10
How could you correctly rewrite the equation 4(5 + 3) = 2(22 - 6) using the distributive property?
Answer:
We can correctly rewrite the equation: 4(5+3) = 2(22-6) by distributing each side.
4(5+3) = 2(22-6)
4(8) = 2(16)
32 = 32
Once you finish distributing each side, you can check to see if it is equal on both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:

If a video game cost $60 and it's on sale for 10% off, how much is the discount?
Answer:
$6
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentages have a cool little trick where they can be reversed :) 10% of 60 is a little tough, but we can switch it to 60% of 10, which is much easier. 60% of 10 is 6, so the discount is $6

Line segment AB has endpoints A(2,7) and B(6,5). Line segment CD has endpoints C(0,2) and D(4, -6). Part A: Determine the slope of AB and CD. Part B: Can line segments AB and CD be two opposite sides of a parallelogram? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
slope of AB = -1/2
slope of CD = -2
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
slope of AB = (5-7)/(6-2) = -2/4=-1/2
slope of CD = (-6-2)/(4-0) = -8/4 =-2
for being two opposite sides of parallelogram, their slopes should be equal. But there slopes aren't equal

Answer:
∠C = 75°
Step-by-step explanation:
using the formula for the sum of interior mangles for a polygon:
total interior angles = (180° x 5 angles) - 360° = 540°
113° + 4x + 113° + 2x + 9° + 3x + 8° = 540°
combine like terms:
9x + 243° = 540°
9x = 297°
x = 33°
∠C = 2(33) + 9 = 75°
8. Determine the area of a sector
with a central angle of 42° in a
circle with radius 3 inches.
NEED IT ASAP
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf A \approx 3.3 \ in^2}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given the central angle in degrees, we should use the following formula for sector area.
[tex]A= \frac {\theta}{360}* \pi r^2[/tex]
The angle is 42 degrees and the radius is 3 inches. Therefore,
[tex]\theta= 42 \\r=3 \ in[/tex]
[tex]A=\frac {42}{360} * \pi (3 \ in)^2[/tex]
Solve the exponent.
(3 in)²= 3 in*3in = 9 in²[tex]A=\frac {42}{360} * \pi (9 \ in^2)[/tex]
Multiply all three numbers together.
[tex]A= 0.116666666667* 3.14159265359 * 9 \ in^2[/tex]
[tex]A=3.29867228627 \ in^2[/tex]
Let's round to the tenth place. The 9 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 2 up to a 3.
[tex]A \approx 3.3 \ in^2[/tex]
The area of the sector is approximately 3.3 square inches.
Write the left side of the identity in terms of sine and cosine. Rewrite the numerator and denominator separately. (Do not simplify.) Simplify the fraction from the previous step such that both the fractions have the common denominator The expression from the previous step then simplifies to using what? A. Addition and a Reciprocal Identity B. Addition and a Pythagorean Identity
Answer:
[tex](a)[/tex] [tex]\frac{2}{cos\theta}/\frac{1}{sin\theta} + \frac{4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
[tex](b)[/tex] [tex]\frac{2sin\theta}{cos\theta} + \frac{4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
(c) Addition and Quotient identity
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{2sec\theta}{csc\theta} + \frac{4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex] --- The expression missing from the question
Solving (a): Write the left hand side in terms of sin and cosine
In trigonometry:
[tex]sec\theta = \frac{1}{cos\theta}[/tex]
and
[tex]csc\theta = \frac{1}{sin\theta}[/tex]
So, the expression becomes:
[tex]\frac{2 * \frac{1}{cos\theta}}{\frac{1}{sin\theta}} + \frac{4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\frac{2}{cos\theta}}{\frac{1}{sin\theta}} + \frac{4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\frac{2}{cos\theta}/\frac{1}{sin\theta} + \frac{4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
Solving (b): Simplify
[tex]\frac{2}{cos\theta}/\frac{1}{sin\theta} + \frac{4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
Change / to *
[tex]\frac{2}{cos\theta}*\frac{sin\theta}{1} + \frac{4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2sin\theta}{cos\theta} + \frac{4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
Solving (c): The property used
To do this, we need to further simplify
[tex]\frac{2sin\theta}{cos\theta} + \frac{4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]\frac{2sin\theta+ 4sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
Add the numerator
[tex]\frac{6sin\theta}{cos\theta} =6tan\theta[/tex]
Apply quotient identity
[tex]\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta} = tan\theta[/tex]
This gives
[tex]\frac{6sin\theta}{cos\theta} = 6tan\theta[/tex]
Hence, the properties applied are:

A right prism has height 8 and triangular bases with sides of length 7, 8, and 9. What is the: Total surface area of the prism?
Answer:
the total surface area of the prism is 245.67
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
height of the triangular prism, h = 8
length of the triangular bases, = 7, 8, and 9
The total surface area of the prism is calculated as;
T.S.A = ph + 2B
Where;
p is the perimeter of the base
B is area of the base
P = 7 + 8 + 9 = 24
Area of the base can be calculated using Hero's formula;
[tex]S = \frac{7+8+9}{2} = 12\\\\Base \ area (B) = \sqrt{12(12-7)(12-8)(12-9)} = 26.833[/tex]
T.S.A = (24 x 8) + 2 x 26.833
T.S.A = 192 + 53.666
T.S.A = 245.67
Therefore, the total surface area of the prism is 245.67

What is the equation of the horizontal asymptote?
A. y = 0
B. x = 0
C. y = x
D. x = 2
Answer:
horizontal asymptote at y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the definition of asymptotes, it is a line that the function gets closer and closer to as x goes to plus or minus infinity. The definition clearly does not mention anything about the finite value of x.
However, crossing of asymptotes does not happen in the case of vertical asymptotes because for a given x, the function has only one value but the same y can be obtained for different values of x.
It is a common misconception that graphs of functions can’t cross the asymptotes. This is true only for vertical asymptotes. In fact, there are several examples of functions whose graphs cross the horizontal asymptote. For example:
f(x) = (xe)^((-x)^2)
The horizontal asymptote of the above function is y=0 but it still crosses the x axis at x=0.
hope that helps, I really don't know thought. Quite tricky
