Step-by-step explanation:

Attached is a short table of trig function values. There are really only three you need to remember if you keep an image of the sine and cosine graphs in your head (for 0° and 90° values).

  sin(α) = cos(90°-α)

  tan(α) = sin(α)/cos(α)

The mean SAT score in mathematics, M, is 600. The standard deviation of these scores is 48. A special preparation course claims that its graduates will score higher, on average, than the mean score 600. A random sample of 70 students completed the course, and their mean SAT score in mathematics was 613.
a) At the 0.05 level of significance, can we conclude that the preparation course does what it claims? Assume that the standard deviation of the scores of course graduates is also 48.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean SAT score is [tex]\mu=600[/tex], we are going to call it \mu since it's the "true" mean

The standard deviation (we are going to call it [tex]\sigma[/tex]) is

[tex]\sigma=48[/tex]

Next they draw a random sample of n=70 students, and they got a mean score (denoted by [tex]\bar x[/tex]) of [tex]\bar x=613[/tex]

The test then boils down to the question if the score of 613 obtained by the students in the sample is statistically bigger that the "true" mean of 600.

- So the Null Hypothesis [tex]H_0:\bar x \geq \mu[/tex]

- The alternative would be then the opposite [tex]H_0:\bar x < \mu[/tex]

The test statistic for this type of test takes the form

[tex]t=\frac{| \mu -\bar x |} {\sigma/\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

and this test statistic follows a normal distribution. This last part is quite important because it will tell us where to look for the critical value. The problem ask for a 0.05 significance level. Looking at the normal distribution table, the critical value that leaves .05% in the upper tail is 1.645.

With this we can then replace the values in the test statistic and compare it to the critical value of 1.645.

[tex]t=\frac{| \mu -\bar x |} {\sigma/\sqrt{n}}\\\\= \frac{| 600-613 |}{48/\sqrt(70}}\\\\= \frac{| 13 |}{48/8.367}\\\\= \frac{| 13 |}{5.737}\\\\=2.266\\[/tex]

since 2.266>1.645 we  can reject the null hypothesis.

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that the SAT score is not significantly different for the course graduates.

Alternate hypothesis: there is a significant difference between the SAT score achieved by the course graduates as compared to the non-graduates.

Apply the t-test. The Test Statistic value comes out to be t = 1.738 and the p-value = 0.0844

Since the p-value is larger than 0.05, the evidence is weak and we fail to reject eh null hypothesis.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

If you bought a stock last year for a price of $141,and it has risen 1.8% since then,
how much is the stock worth now, to nearest cent?

Answers

Answer:

Current worth of stock is $141.538

Current worth of stock rounded to nearest cent is $142

Step-by-step explanation:

price of stocks= $141

percentage increase in price of stocks = 1.8% of initial price of stock

dollar value increase in price of stocks = 1.8% of initial price of stock

increase in price of stocks = 1.8% of  $141

increase in price of stocks = 1.8/100 * $141 =$ 253.8/100 = $2.538

Current worth of stock = initial price of stock+increase in price of stocks

substituting the value of initial price of stock and increase in price of stocks we have

Current worth of stock =$141 + $2.538 = $141.538

Since we need to find stock worth now, to nearest cent, as after decimal there .5 and any value greater than or equal to .5 is rounded to one then after rounding,  $141.538 becomes  $142

There is a bag filled with 3 blue, 4 red and 5 green marbles.
A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is replaced.
Another marble is taken at random.
What is the probability of exactly 1 red?

Answers

Answer:

22.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is exactly a red, it means that it is removed on the first or second attempt, but only once, in this case it does not matter if it is on the first or second attempt because the marble is returned to the bag.

So suppose that on the first attempt red is drawn, the probability would be:

4 / (3 + 4 + 5) = 4/12 = 1/3

Now, on the second attempt, it is not to draw a red, it must be green or blue, so it would be:

(5 + 3) / (3 + 4 + 5) = 8/12 = 2/3

The final probability then is:

1/3 * 2/3 = 0.2222

that is, the probability is 22.22%

The commutative property of multiplication lets you swap the order of the factors in the product:

  (8 +7)•11 = 11•(8 +7)

The distributive property lets you eliminate parentheses:

Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most 15 minutes. It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than 150 minutes. Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next 25 flights. The average delay for those 25 flights is 22 minutes with a standard deviation of 15 minutes. A chi-square test was performed. Graph the situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis. Mark the mean and test statistic. Shade the p-value.

Answers

Answer:

The p-value will be "0.0549".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Time, t = 15 minutes

Df, σ = 25-1 = 24

Now,

⇒  [tex]H_{0}:\sigma^2\leq 150[/tex]

and,

⇒  [tex]H_{1}:\sigma^2>150[/tex]

As we know,

Chi square = [tex]\frac{(n-1)s^2}{(\sigma^2)}[/tex]

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒                = [tex]\frac{24\times 15^2}{150}[/tex]

⇒                = [tex]\frac{24\times 225}{150}[/tex]

⇒                = [tex]36[/tex]

Therefore, p-value = 0.0549

The p-value determined > 0.05, the null hypothesis also isn't dismissed at point 0.05.

AB=6CM AC= 12cm

CB² = 12² - 6²

CB² = 144 - 36

CB² = 108

CB = √ 108 cm.

sin 55° = CB / CD

0.81915 = √108 / CD

CD = 10.392 / 0.81915

CD = 12.686 cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This was a question on mathswatch, so I’ve done this.

You need to round to 3 significant numbers

AB=6cm AC=12cm

AC² = AB + BC²

12² = 6² + CB²

CB² = 12² - 6²

CB² = 144 - 36

CB² = 108

CB = √ 108 cm.

sin 55° = CB / CD

0.81915 = √108 / CD

CD = 10.392 / 0.81915

CD = 12.686 cm

CD = 12.7 cm

A video company randomly selected 100 of its subscribers and asked them how many hours of shows they watch per week. Of those surveyed 35 watch more than 10 hours per week. Based on the data, if the company has 3,000 subscribers, how many watch more than 10 hours per week?

Answers

Hello there!

35/100 watch more then 10 hours a week

3000 is 30 times greater than 100 so we can simply multiply 35/100 by 30.

35/100 x 30 = 1050/3000

Therefore, if the company had 3,000 subscribers, 1,050 subscribers would be watching more than 10 hours a week.

Working alone, Dan can sweep a porch in
15 minutes. Alberto can sweep the same
porch in 11 minutes. If they worked
together how long would it take them?​

Answers

Answer:

It will take them 6.35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be solved when you know how much of the job can be done in minutes.

Therefore if Dan can do the job in 15 minutes he will be to sweep 1/15 of the porch in 1 minutes. Alberto can do the same job in 11 minutes, in 1 minutes he will do 1/11 of the job.

let

a = combined time together

1/15 + 1/11 = 1/a

(11 + 15)/165 = 1/a

26/165 = 1/a

cross multiply

26a = 165

divide both sides by 26

a = 165/26

a = 6.34615384615

a ≈ 6.35 minutes

It will take them 6.35 minutes
