Many people consider their smart phone to be essential! Communication, news, Internet, entertainment, photos, and just keeping current are all conveniently possible with a smart phone. However, the battery better be charged or the phone is useless. Battery life of course depends on the frequency, duration, and type of use. One study involving heavy use of the phones showed the mean of the battery life to be 15.25 hours with a standard deviation of 2.2 hours. Then the battery needs to be recharged. Assume the battery life between charges is normally distributed.

Required:
a. Find the probability that with heavy use, the battery life exceeds 11 hours.
b. You are planning your recharging schedule so that the probability your phone will die is no more than 5%. After how many hours should you plan to recharge your phone?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The probability that with heavy use, the battery life exceeds 11 hours is 0.4602.

b) Using the standard normal table, After 6.8 hours should you plan to recharge your phone.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability that with heavy use, the battery life exceeds 11 hours:-

P(x > 11) = 1 - p( x< 11)  

[tex]=1- p P[(x - \mu) / \sigma < (11 - 10.75) / 2.4]\\\\=1- P(z < 0.10)[/tex]  

Using z table distribution,    

= 1 - 0.5398  

= 0.4602  

b) Using the standard normal table,  

[tex]P(Z < z) = 5%\\\\\\\\= P(Z < -1.645 ) = 0.05 \\z = -1.645[/tex]

Using the z-score formula,  

[tex]x = z \times \sigma + \mu\\x = -1.645 * 2.4 + 10.75\\x = 6.8 hours.[/tex]

Answer:

The story tells of a plain-looking little bird (the Ugly Duckling) born in a barnyard. His brothers and sisters as well as the other birds and animals on the farm tease him for being plain and ugly, so he runs off to live with a flock of wild ducks and geese until hunters shoot down the flock. Alone again, the Ugly Duckling finds a home with an old woman, but her cat and hen also tease him, so he doesn't stay there long.

In his wanderings, the Ugly Duckling comes across a flock of migrating swans, and he wishes to join them but can't because he's too young and can't fly well enough. When winter sets in, a farmer rescues the Ugly Duckling, but the farmer's children and other animals frighten him with their noise and teasing, so again, he flees. He spends a cold and lonely winter hiding in a cave until springtime, when the flock of swans comes to the lake near his hiding place.

When the Ugly Duckling approaches the swans, he's delighted to find that they accept him and treat him like one of them. When he looks at his reflection in the lake, he realizes, to his astonishment, that he's matured into a beautiful swan himself. When the swans fly off from the lake, he spreads his wings and joins them, finally having found a family who accepts him.

Ben starts walking along a path at 3 mi/h. One and a half hours after Ben leaves, his sister Amanda begins jogging along the same path at 7 mi/h. How long (in hours) will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?



Enter the exact answer.
Hint: The distance formula is that distance = rate * time, so for example in one and a half hours, Ben has walked 3 * 1.5 miles.

Amanda catches up to Ben in ____________ hours.

Answers

Answer:

1.125 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Ben's speed = 3 mi/hr

Time before Amanda starts = 1.5 hours

Amanda's speed = 7 mi/hr

Time before Amanda catches up with Ben

Recall :

Distance = speed * time

Distance already covered by Ben before Amanda starts :

(3 * 1.5) = 4.5

Hence, we can setup the equation :

Ben's distance = Amanda's distance

Let time taken = x

4.5 + 3x = 7x

4.5 = 7x - 3x

4.5 = 4x

x = 4.5 / 4

x = 1.125 hours

1.125 * 60 = 67. 5 minutes

You have been doing research for your statistics class on the prevalence of severe binge drinking among teens. You have decided to use 2011 Monitoring the Future (MTF) data that have a scale (from 0 to 14) measuring the number of times teens drank 10 or more alcoholic beverages in a single sitting in the past 2 weeks.
a. According to 2011 MTF data, the average severe binge drinking score, for this sample of 914 teens, is 1.27, with a standard deviation of 0.80. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the true averse severe binge drinking score.
b. On of your classmates, who claims to be good at statistics, complains about your confidence interval calculation. She or he asserts that the severe binge drinking scores are not normally distributed, which in turn makes the confidence interval calculation meaningless. Assume that she or he is correct about the distribution of severe binge drinking scores. Does that imply that the calculation of a confidence interval is not appropriate? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

(1.218 ; 1.322)

the confidence interval is appropriate

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval :

Mean ± margin of error

Sample mean = 1.27

Sample standard deviation, s = 0.80

Sample size, n = 914

Since we are using tbe sample standard deviation, we use the T table ;

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/√n

Tcritical at 95% ; df = 914 - 1 = 913

Tcritical(0.05, 913) = 1.96

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.80/√914 = 0.05186

Mean ± margin of error

1.27 ± 0.05186

Lower boundary = 1.27 - 0.05186 = 1.218

Upper boundary = 1.27 + 0.05186 = 1.322

(1.218 ; 1.322)

According to the central limit theorem, sample means will approach a normal distribution as the sample size increases. Hence, the confidence interval is valid, the sample size of 914 gave a critical value at 0.05 which is only marginally different from that will obtained using a normal distribution table. Hence, the confidence interval is appropriate

The sum of four consecutive odd integers is –72. Write an equation to model this situation, and find the values of the four integers.

Answers

Answer:

(x -3) +(x -1) +(x +1) +(x +3) = -72-21, -19, -17, -15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the even integer between the middle two odd integers. Then the sum of the four odd integers is ...

  (x -3) +(x -1) +(x +1) +(x +3) = -72

  4x = -72

  x = -18

The four integers are -21, -19, -17, -15.

_____

Additional comment

You could let x represent one of the integers. Often, people choose to let it represent the least of them. Then the equation becomes x +(x+2) +(x+4) +(x+6) = -72, so 4x = -84 and x = -21. This introduces a "subtract 12" step in the solution process that is unnecessary if x is chosen to be the average of the integers.

As the average, x is the sum divided by the number of them, so you know x=-72/4 = -18 immediately. Then you just have to find the nearest two odd integers below and above -18. You can do the whole problem mentally.

Answers

Answer:

H0 : ρ = 0

H1 : ρ ≠ 0

Test statistic = 1.197

Pvalue = 0.2335

There is no correlation between the two variables

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternative hypothesis :

H0 : No correlation exist,

H1 : Correlation exist

H0 : ρ = 0

H1 : ρ ≠ 0

Test statistic, T = r / √(1 - r²) / (n - 2)

T = 0.067 / √(1 - 0.067²) / (320 - 2)

T = 0.067 / √(0.995511 / 318)

T = 0.067 / 0.0559512

T = 1.197

The Pvalue obtained from the Rscore, at df = 320 - 2 = 318 is 0.2335

α = 5% = 0.05

The Pvalue > α ; we fail to reject the null and conclude that, there is no correlation between the two variables.

The speed of the boat is
and the speed of the stream is

Answers

Answer:

The speed of the boat is 24 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the stream is 2 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a riverboat travels 52 km downstream in 2 hours, and it travels 66 km upstream in 3 hours, the following calculations must be performed to find the speed of the boat and the speed of the stream:

Downstream = 52/2 = 26

Upstream = 66/3 = 22

Stream = 4/2 = 2

Therefore, the speed of the boat is 24 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the stream is 2 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

1) Determine the slope (m)

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where two points that lie on the line are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Plug the given points (-4,3) and (6,8) into the equation

[tex]m=\frac{8-3}{6-(-4)}\\m=\frac{8-3}{6+4}\\m=\frac{5}{10}\\m=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] :

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

Plug in one of the given points and solve for b

[tex]8=\frac{1}{2}(6)+b\\8=3+b[/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate b

[tex]8-3=3+b-3\\5=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is 5. Plug this back into [tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+5[/tex]

A family has 5 children. Compute the probabilities of the following events:

Answers

I think the answer is 10% and 90%

Answer:

Probably 5/7, but don't take my word for it.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 days of the week.

There is a 1/7 chance for one kid to be born on a certain day of the week.

We can attach an exponent of 5 since the 1/7 is a constant, and I'm not going to bother typing the same thing over and over again.

(1/7)^5 = 1/16,807.

The probability of all of them being born on Friday or anyday is 1/16,807.

The probability of each person being born on a different day of the week is  probabily going to be 5/7, but it could be different, because you need to factor in the requirement that they are not born on the same day.

I can guarantee that the first question is probably correct, but not the second.

4) Write the equation of the line passing
through (-5, 6 ) and has slope equal to 4.

Answers

Answer:

y = 4x + 26

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

The slope (m) is equal to 4.

y = 4x + b

To find the y-intercept (b), plug in the point given.

6 = 4(-5) + b

6 = -20 + b

26 = b

The answer is y = 4x + 26.

Answer:

The equation of the line passing through (-5, 6) with a slope of 4 is

y = 4x + 26

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation of a line would always have the following structure...

y = mx + b

In this equation, "y" is the y coordinate of the point, "x" is the x coordinate of the point, "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y coordinate of the y-intercept. We know all the values except "b", but we can find the value of "b" by substituting all the other values into the equation...

y = mx + b

6 = 4(-5) + b

6 = b - 20

b = 6 + 20

b = 26

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through (-5, 6) with a slope of 4 is y = 4x + 26

While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use.
