The 2018 Current Population Survey (CPS) estimates that 19.7% of Mississippians live in poverty, which makes Mississippi the state with the highest poverty rate in the United States. If we take a random sample of 250 Mississippians, what is the probability that at least 25% of them live in poverty?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 0.0265

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The proportion of Mississippians live in poverty, which makes Mississippi the state with the highest poverty rate in the United States. : p = 19.7% = 0.197

Sample size : n= 250

The probability that at least 25% of them live in poverty will be

[tex]P(\hat{p}\geq0.25)=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\geq\dfrac{0.25-0.197}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.25\times0.75}{250}}})\\\\=P(Z>\geq1.9353)\\\\=1-P(Z<1.935)\\\\=1-0.9735\ \ \ \ [\text{By p-value table}]\\\\=0.0265[/tex]

Hence, the required probability = 0.0265

Write a function to represent the arithmetic sequence.
f(n)=

Answers

Answer:

The function will be: f(n) = 2n

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the common difference between consecutive terms is same

The sequence according to given information is:

2,4,6...

Here

a_1 = 2

a_2 = 4

a_3 = 6

the common difference will be:

[tex]d = a_2-a_1 = 4-2 = 2\\d = a_3-a_2 = 6-4 = 2[/tex]

The arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]a_n = a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

Putting the values

[tex]a_n = 2+(n-1)(2)\\a_n = 2+2n-2\\a_n = 2n[/tex]

Hence,

The function will be: f(n) = 2n

A small pool is being drained. There are 1,320 gallons of water remaining in the pool after 2 minutes and 1,040 gallons after 9 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

Answer: 35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to solve the question, we have to calculate the amount of gallons of water that is drained every minute. This will be:

= (1320 - 1040) / (9 - 2)

= 280/7

= 40 gallons per minute

Since we are told that 1,320 gallons of water remain in the pool after 2 minutes. This means that the total water in the pool at the beginning was:

= 1320 gallons + (40 × 2)

= 1320 gallons + 80 gallons

= 1400 gallons

The time taken for the pool to be completely drained will be:

= Total water in pool / Gallons drained per minute

= 1400 / 40

= 35 minutes

Answer:

35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 40 gallons drained per minute.

An exponential relationship is modeled by y = 31(0.81)x , what is the percent rate of change for this function?

Answers

Answer:

19%

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential relationship is modeled by y = 31(0.81)^x , what is the percent rate of change for this function?

From the above exponential relationship given, we can see that this exponential relationship is an exponential decrease.

Where the formula:

y = a(1 - r)^t

Where a = Initial amount

r = rate of change in percent

t = time in years

y = a(1 - r)^x = y = 31(0.81)^x

1 - r = 0.81

r = 1 - 0.81

r = 0.19

Converting 0.19 × 100

= 19%

equation that gives the number of stores in terms of the

year. Let i = 9 represent 1999. Then predict the numbers

of stores for the years 2008 and 2010. Are your answers

reasonable? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

- 749.5i + 10821.5

−2669.5

−4168.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given tgat:

Number of stores in 2003 (y2) = 1078

Number of stores in 1999 (y1) = 4076

1999 = i = 9

2003 = 13

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = slope = (y2 - y1) / (i2 - i1)

m = (1078 - 4076) / 13 - 9

m = - 2998 / 4

m = - 749.5

y - 4076 = - 749.5(i - i1)

y - 4076 = - 749.5(i - 9)

y - 4076 = - 749.5i + 6745.5

y = - 749.5i + 10821.5

Prediction for 2008 and 2010

2008 ; i = 18

y = - 749.5(18) + 10821.5

y = −2669.5

2010 ; i = 20

y = - 749.5(20) + 10821.5

y = − 4168.5

What is the area of ABC?

Answers

Answer:

Area of triangle ABC = 10

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find area of triangle ABC

We are given A(2,1) B(4,7) and C(6,3)

The formula used to find [tex]Area \ of \ triangle=\frac{1}{2}base\times height[/tex] ABC is:

In the given triangle base= AC and height = BC

First we need to find the distance between A and C and B and C

The formula used to find distance between AC [tex]Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

We have [tex]x_1=2, y_1=1, x_2=6, y_2=3[/tex]

Putting values and finding distance

[tex]Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\Distance=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(3-1)^2}\\Distance=\sqrt{(4)^2+(2)^2}\\Distance=\sqrt{16+4}\\Distance=\sqrt{20}[/tex]

find distance between BC [tex]Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

We have [tex]x_1=4, y_1=7, x_2=6, y_2=3[/tex]

Putting values and finding distance

[tex]Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\Distance=\sqrt{(6-4)^2+(3-7)^2}\\Distance=\sqrt{(2)^2+(4)^2}\\Distance=\sqrt{4+16}\\Distance=\sqrt{20}[/tex]

So, We have height = [tex]\sqrt{20}[/tex] and base = [tex]\sqrt{20}[/tex]

Finding area of triangle

[tex]Area \ of \ triangle=\frac{1}{2}base\times height\\Area \ of \ triangle=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{20} \times \sqrt{20} \\Area \ of \ triangle=\frac{1}{2}\times 20\\Area \ of \ triangle=10[/tex]

So, Area of triangle ABC = 10

Option C is correct.

ques #1: What happens to the mean and standard deviation of the data set when the 7 is changed to a 70?

ques #2: For the data set with the value of 70, why would the median be a better choice for the measure of center than the mean?

Answers

Answer:

The mean would get bigger becuase you are adding in a bigger number there for the mean would increase.The standard deviation would change as well because then again you are adding a bigger number and standard diviation is basically the difference between the gratest and least.  For #2 no the median wouldn't chnage becuase the 70 is going in place for the 7 so it would just fill it's spot and wouldn't effect the data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median would be a better choice for the measure of center becuase the mean is telling you the average and the median is actully telling you where the middle of the data set is.

The mean is the average of a group of data. The data set  added up and divided by the number of data. The mean is sensitive to extreme data.

When 7 is changes to a 70 then mean and standard deviation both changes.

For the given data set median be a better choice for the measure of center than the mean because mean is sensitive to extreme data and median is the point at which half the data are above and half the data are below.

The median is the point at which half the data are above and half the data are below. Medians are less sensitive to extreme scores . Therefore, median is center point of data set.

Standard deviation shows how much variation there is from the mean. A low SD indicates that the data points tend to be close to the mean, whereas a high SD indicates that the data are spread out over a large range of values.

What is proportion?

Proportions are of two types one is the direct proportion in which if one quantity is increased by a constant k the other quantity will also be increased by the same constant k and vice versa.

In the case of inverse proportion if one quantity is increased by a constant k the quantity will decrease by the same constant k and vice versa.

Given, The amount of time it takes an ice cube to melt varies inversely to the air temperature this can be written as,

Time ∝ 1/(Temparature).

Time = K(1/Temp).

At 30 degrees Celsius, the ice will melt in 10 minutes.

10 = K(1/30).

K = 300.

Now, the time required to melt the ice at 40°C is,

Time = 300(1/40).

Time = 7.5 minutes or 7 minutes 30 seconds.
