Matthew participates in a study that is looking at how confident students at SUNY Albany are. The mean score on the scale is 50. The distribution has a standard deviation of 10 and is normally distributed. Matthew scores a 65. What percentage of people could be expected to score the same as Matthew or higher on this scale

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage of people that could be expected to score the same as Matthew or higher on this scale is:

= 93.3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Mean score on the scale, μ = 50

Distribution's standard deviation, σ = 10

Matthew scores, x = 65

Calculating the Z-score:

Z-score = (x – μ) / σ

= (65-50)/10

= 1.5

The probability based on a Z-score of 1.5 is 0.93319

Therefore, the percentage of people that could be expected to score the same as Matthew or higher on this scale is 93.3%.

You may recall that the area of a rectangle is A=L⋅W, where W is the width and L is the length.

Suppose that the length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. If the area is 300 square feet, then what is the width of the rectangle, in feet?

Do not type the units in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The width is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle A=L\cdot W[/tex]

Where L is the length and W is the width.

We are given that the length of the rectangle is three times the width. In other words:

[tex]L=3W[/tex]

The total area is 300 square feet. And we want to determine the width of the rectangle.

So, substitute 300 for A and 3W for L:

[tex](300)=(3W)\cdot W[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]300=3W^2[/tex]

Divide both sides by three:

[tex]W^2=100[/tex]

And take the principal square root of both sides. So:

[tex]W=10[/tex]

Thus, the width of the rectangle is 10 feet.

Suppose the age that children learn to walk is normally distributed with mean 12 months and standard deviation 2.5 month. 34 randomly selected people were asked what age they learned to walk. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) it's just mean, variance

so here it's just 12,6.25

b.) For the x bar thing just divide the variance by the number of people (mean stay the same)

the variance is then (2.5²/34)= .1838

which makes it (12,.1838)

c.) here we don't use x bar (and so it's normal (12,2.5²))

p(11.6) = (11.6-12)/(2.5)= -.16 = .4364

p(12.4)= (12.4-12)/2.5 = .16= .5636

.5636-.4364= .1272

d.) here we use x bar because it's asking for an average so it's normal (12, .1838)

same deal

p(11.6)=(11.6-12)/√.1838= -.93295= .1762

p(12.4)= (12.4-12)/√.1838= .93295= .8238

.8238-.1762= .6476

d.) no because they're probably IID

f.) It's average so here we use x bar

q1 is just the 25th percentile

the 25th percentile is -.6745

-.6745=(x-12)/(√.1838)= 11.711

q3 is the 75th percentile

.6745=(x-12)/√.1838

x=12.289

The interquartile range is just the difference between the two

12.289-11.711= .5784

Medallia calculates and publishes various statistics concerning car quality. The dependability score measures problems experienced during the past 12 months by the owners of vehicles. Toyota had 1.02 problems per car. If you had purchased a Toyota model, what is the probability that in the past 12 months the car had. in excel

Answers

Answer:

Hence the answers are,

a) Probability that in the past 12 months the car had more than one problem = P(X > 1) is 0.2716.

b) The Probability that in the past 12 months the car had almost two problems = P( X < 2) is 0.9160.

c) The Probability that in the past 12 months the car had zero problems = P(X= 0 ) is 0.3606.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take X to be the number of problems per car.

By considering the given statement, X follows a Poisson Distribution with Mean (X) = 1.02.

The Poisson probability formula is :

e Pr( X = k) = e- k! k= 0,1,2...

a)

The Probability that in the past 12 months the car had more than one problem = P(X > 1)

[tex]P(X > 1) =1- P(X < 1) \\\\=1- (P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)-1.021.02 e + 1.021.02 =1-6 0!\\= 1-0.3606 + 0.3678\\= 1-0.7284\\= 0.2716[/tex]

b)

The Probability that in the past 12 months the car had almost two problems = PX < 2)

[tex]Pr(X < 2) = Pr(X = i) = Pr(X = 0) + Pr(X = 1) + Pr(X = 2)\\-1.021.020 -1.021.02 -1.021.02 e e + e + 0! 1! 2!\\= 0.3606 + 0.3678 + 0.1876\\= 0.9160[/tex]

c)

The Probability that in the past 12 months the car had zero problems = P(X= 0 )

[tex]- 1.021.02 e 0!\\= 0.3606[/tex]

FastForward has net income of $19,090 and assets at the beginning of the year of $209,000. Its assets at the end of the year total $264,000. Compute its return on assets.

Answers

Given:

Net income = $19,090

Assets at the beginning of the year = $209,000.

Assets at the end of the year total = $264,000.

To find:

The return on assets.

Solution:

Formula used:

[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{\text{Net income}}{\text{Average of assets at the beginning and at the end}}[/tex]

Using the above formula, we get

[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{\dfrac{20900+264000}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{\dfrac{473000}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{236500}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Return of assets}\approx 0.0807[/tex]

The percentage form of 0.0807 is 8.07%.

Therefore, the return on assets is 8.07%.

A 17 feet ladder is placed against a building. The bottom of the ladder is 15 feet away from the building. How many feet high is the top of the ladder?

7 feet
12 feet
8 feet
15 feet

Answers

Answer:

[tex]8 \ feet[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, one is given the following information. A ladder is leaning against a wall and has a measure of (17) feet. The bottom of the ladder is (15) feet away from the wall. One can infer that the wall forms a right angle with the ground. Thus, the triangle formed between the ground, ladder, and wall is a right triangle. Therefore, one can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states the following,

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Where (a) and (b) are the legs or the sides adjacent to the right angle of the right triangle. The parameter (c) represents the hypotenuse or the side opposite the right angle. In this case, the legs are the ground and wall, and the hypotenuse is the ladder. Substitute this into the formula a solve for the height of the wall.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Substitute,

[tex](ground)^2+(wall)^2=(ladder)^2\\\\(15)^2+(wall)^2=(17)^2\\[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex](15)^2+(wall)^2=(17)^2\\\\225+(wall)^2=289[/tex]

Inverse operations,

[tex]225+(wall)^2=289\\\\(wall)^2=64\\\\wall=8[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\text{Perimeter: }48\:\mathrm{m},\\\text{Area: }84\:\mathrm{m^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle with side lengths [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] is given by:

[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex], where [tex]s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]

Substituting [tex]a=21, b=17, c=10[/tex], we have:

[tex]A=\sqrt{24(24-21)(24-17)(24-10)},\\A=\sqrt{24(3)(7)(14)},\\A=\sqrt{7,084},\\A=\boxed{84\:\mathrm{m^2}}[/tex]

The perimeter of a polygon is given by the sum of its sides. Since the triangle has sides 10, 17, and 21, its perimeter is [tex]10+17+21=\boxed{48\:\mathrm{m}}[/tex].

Suppose a basketball player has made 231 out of 361 free throws. If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $31. Otherwise you pay me $21.
Find the expected value of the proposition. Round your answer to two decimal places. Losses must be expressed as negative values.

Answers

Answer:

The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player will make it, or he will miss it. The probability of a player making a free throw is independent of any other free throw, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

Suppose a basketball player has made 231 out of 361 free throws.

This means that [tex]p = \frac{231}{361} = 0.6399[/tex]

Probability of the player making the next 2 free throws:

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.6399)^{2}.(0.3601)^{0} = 0.4095[/tex]

Find the expected value of the proposition:

0.4095 probability of you paying $31(losing $31), which is when the player makes the next 2 free throws.

1 - 0.4059 = 0.5905 probability of you being paid $21(earning $21), which is when the player does not make the next 2 free throws. So

[tex]E = -31*0.4095 + 21*0.5905 = -0.29[/tex]

The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.

Is it possible to have a relation on the set {a, b, c} that is both symmetric and transitive but not reflexive

Answers

Answer:

Yes, it is possible to have  a relation on the set {a, b, c} that is both symmetric and transitive but not reflexive

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Set A={a,b,c}

Now, define a relation R on set A is given by

R={(a,a),(a,b),(b,a),(b,b)}

For reflexive

A relation is called reflexive if (a,a)[tex]\in R[/tex] for every element a[tex]\in A[/tex]

[tex](c,c)\notin R[/tex]

Therefore, the relation R is  not reflexive.

For symmetric

If [tex](a,b)\in R[/tex] then [tex](b,a)\in R[/tex]

We have

[tex](a,b)\in R[/tex] and [tex](b,a)\in R[/tex]

Hence, R is symmetric.

For transitive

If (a,b)[tex]\in R[/tex] and (b,c)[tex]\in R[/tex] then (a,c)[tex]\in R[/tex]

Here,

[tex](a,a)\in R[/tex] and [tex](a,b)\in R[/tex]

[tex]\implies (a,b)\in R[/tex]

[tex](a,b)\in R[/tex] and [tex](b,a)\in R[/tex]

[tex]\implies (a,a)\in R[/tex]

Therefore, R is transitive.

Yes, it is possible to have  a relation on the set {a, b, c} that is both symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.

SCC U of 1 pt 3 of 1 1.2.11 Assigned Media A rectangle has a width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters. V The length is cm.

Answers

Answer:

The length is of 59 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle:

The perimeter of a rectangle with width w and length l is given by:

[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]

Width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters:

This means that [tex]w = 49, P = 216[/tex]

The length is cm.

We have to solve the equation for l. So

[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]

[tex]216 = 2(49 + l)[/tex]

[tex]216 = 98 + 2l[/tex]

[tex]2l = 118[/tex]

[tex]l = \frac{118}{2}[/tex]

[tex]l = 59[/tex]

The length is of 59 cm.

15. Mark Twain one observed that the lower Mississippi River is very crooked and that over the years, as the bends and turns straighten out, the river gets shorter and shorter. Using numerical data about the length of the lower part of the river, he noticed that in the year 1700 the river was more than 1200 miles long, yet by the year 1875 it was only 973 miles long. Twain concluded that any person “can see that 742 years from now the lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters lone.” What is wrong with his inductive reasoning?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..

The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.  

The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.

21 21 22 22 23 23 23 24 24 24 24 24 25 25 25 26 26 27 27

We obtain the beginner running population and standard deviation

Population mean, μ = Σx/n = 456/19 = 24

Standard deviation, σ = 1.747 (using calculator)

Friend's Runtime, x = 23.5 minutes

Obtaining the friend's Zscore :

Z = (x - μ) / σ

Z = (23.5 - 24) / 1.747

Z = - 0.286

Obtaining the Pvalue :

Using a standard normal distribution table :

P(Z < - 0.286) = 0.38744

Hence. Percentage of population that has lesser time :

0.38744 * 100% = 38.74%
