Answer:
a) Your answer for part a (I got 3/28) is wrong.
Odds are always expressed as ratios after calculating. Therefore, the odds in favour of receiving a gift = 3:22
b) Your answer in part b(I got 7/9) is correct.
The probability of the box having a toy is 7/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question above has to do with odds and probability.
It is important to note that odds are expressed in the form of ratios while probabilities are expressed as fractions.
a) At a certain charity fundraiser, some guests will be randomly selected to receive a gift. The probability of receiving a gift is 3/25. Find the odds in favor of receiving a gift.(I got 3/28)
The formula for calculating odds from probability is Odds = Probability / (1 - Probability).
Probability = 3/25
Odds =(3/25)/(1 - 3/25)
= (3/25)/22/25
= 3/25 ÷ 22/25
= 3/25 × 25/22
= 3/22
Note that odds are always expressed as ratios.
Therefore, the odds in favour of receiving a gift = 3:22
Your answer for part a (I got 3/28) is wrong.
The correct answer is 3:22
b) A child has a box of candies which might have a toy inside. The odds against the box having a toy are 7/2. What is the probability of the box having a toy? I got 7/9.
The formula for calculating probability from odds is P = Odds / (Odds + 1).
Odds = 7/2 or 7:2
We convert the odds to fraction when calculating
Probability = Odds / (Odds + 1).
Probability = (7/2)/ (7/2 + 1)
Probability = (7/2)/9/2
Probability = 7/2 ÷ 9/2
= 7/2 × 2/9
= 7/9
Probability is always expressed as a fraction.
Therefore, the probability of the box having a toy is 7/9.
Your answer in part b(I got 7/9) is correct.

A dice is rolled twice. What is the probability of rolling a 3 followed by a 2?
The two rolls of the number cube are independent events because
the result of 1 roll does not affect the result of the other roll.
To find the probability of two independent events, we first find
the probability of each event, then we multiply the probabilities.
We can find the probability of an event using the following ratio:
number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes
Since there is only one way to roll a 3 and there are six
possible outcomes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, the probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6.
Since there is also only one way to roll a 2 and there are
six possible outcomes, the probability of rolling a 2 would be 1/6.
Now we multiply the probabilities.
1/6 x 1/6 is 1/36.
So the probability of rolling a 3 and a 2 is 1/36.
Answer:
1/36
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of rolling 3 in a dice = 1/6.
Probability of rolling 2 = 1/6
Since, 2 should be followed after 3; we multiply 1/6 and 1/6
1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36.

Write the form of the partial fraction decomposition of the function. Do not determine the numerical values of the coefficients. 1/(x-1)(x 9)
Answer:
[tex]\frac{A}{(x-1)} + \frac{B}{(x-9)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression [tex]\dfrac{1}{(x-1)(x-9)}[/tex], we are to write the expression as a partial fraction. Writing as a partial fraction means rewriting the expression a s a sum of two or more expression.
Before we will do this we will need to check the nature of the function at the denominator whether it is linear, quadratic or a repeated function. According to the question, the denominator at the denominator is a linear function and since it is a linear function, we can separate both linear function without restriction as shown;
[tex]\dfrac{1}{(x-1)(x-9)} = \frac{A}{(x-1)} + \frac{B}{(x-9)}[/tex] where A and B are the unknown constant which are numerical values.
Assume that the following confidence interval for the difference in the mean length of male babies (sample 1) and female babies (sample 2) at birth was constructed using independent simple random samples:0.2 in2.7 in. What does the confidence interval suggest about the difference in length between male babies and female babies?
Answer:
The confidence interval consist of positive values, it implies that the mean length of male babies at birth is more than that of female babies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the hypothesis for testing the difference in the mean length of male babies and female babies at birth:
H₀: There is no significant difference between the mean length of male babies and female babies at birth, i.e. μ₁ - μ₂ = 0.
Hₐ: There is a significant difference between the mean length of male babies and female babies at birth, i.e. μ₁ - μ₂ ≠ 0.
The decision rule based on the confidence interval is:
If the (1 - α)% confidence interval does not consist of the null value, i.e. 0 then the null hypothesis will be rejected.
The confidence interval for the difference in the mean length of male babies and female babies at birth is:
CI = (0.2 in, 2.7 in)
The confidence interval does not consist of the null value, i.e. 0.
Thus, the null hypothesis will be rejected.
Hence, concluding that there is a significant difference between the mean length of male babies and female babies at birth.
Since the confidence interval consist of positive values, it implies that the mean length of male babies at birth is more than that of female babies.

Manuel says that he can solve the equation 3n = 21 by multiplying both sides by ⅓. Explain why this is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
はい、両側を削除して、3を掛けて7にします
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
3n = 21
if we multiply both sides by 1/3, we will get:
3n = 21
3n x (1/3)= 21 x (1/3)
3n/3 = 21/3
n = 21/3
n = 7
Hence we can indeed solve for n by multiplying both sides by (1/3)
5. During a national debate on changes to health care, a cable news service performs an opinion poll of 500 small business owners. It shows that 65% of small-business owners do not approve of health care changes. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion opposing health care changes. Use 4 decimal places.
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the proportion opposing health care changes is (0.6082, 0.6918).
Step-by-step explanation:
The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the population proportion is:
[tex]CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
The information provided is:
[tex]\hat p=0.65\\n=500\\\text{Confidence level}=95\%[/tex]
The critical value of z for 95% confidence level is:
[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96[/tex]
*Use a z-table.
Compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion opposing health care changes as follows:
[tex]CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]=0.65\pm 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{500}}\\\\=0.65\pm 0.04181\\\\=(0.60819, 0.69181)\\\\\approx (0.6082, 0.6918)[/tex]
Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion opposing health care changes is (0.6082, 0.6918).
Avanety of two types of snack packs are delivered to a store. The box plots compare the number of calories in each

85
90
95
100 105 110 115
Which statement is true about the box plots?
The interquartile range of the trail mix data is greater than the range of the cracker data.
The value 70 is an outlier in the trail mix data
The upper quartile of the trail mix data is equal to the maximum value of the cracker data
O The number of calories in the packs of trail mix have a greater variation than the number of calories in the packs
of crackers
Answer:
The number of calories in the packs of trail mix have a greater variation than the number of calories in the packs
of crackers
Step-by-step explanation:
IQR of trail mix data = 105 - 90 = 15
The range of cracker data = 100 - 70 = 30.
Therefore, the first option is NOT TRUE.
To check if option 2 is correct, calculate the lower limit to see if 70 is below the lower limit. If 70 is below the lower limit, then it is an outlier in the trail mix data.
Thus, Lower Limit = [tex]Q_1 - 1.5(IQR)[/tex]
Q1 = 90,
IQR = 105 - 90 = 15
Lower Limit = [tex]90 - 1.5(15)[/tex]
Lower Limit = [tex]90 - 22.5 = 67.5[/tex]
70 is not less than the lower limit, therefore, 70 is not an outlier for the trail mix data. The second option is NOT TRUE.
The upper quartile of the trail mix data = 105.
The maximum value of the cracker data = 100.
Therefore, the third option is NOT TRUE.
Range can be used to determine how much variable there is in a data represented on a box plot. The greater the range value, the greater the variation.
Range of trail mix data = 115 - 70 = 45
Range of cracker data = 100 - 70 = 30.
The range value for the number of calories in trail mix is greater than that for cracker, therefore, the number of calories in the packs of trail mix have a greater variation than the number of calories in the packs
of crackers.
The fourth option is TRUE.
Answer: D. The number of calories in the packs of trail mix have a greater variation than the number of calories in the packs of crackers.

Transform the given parametric equations into rectangular form. Then identify the conic.
Answer:
Solution : Option B
Step-by-Step Explanation:
We have the following system of equations at hand here.
{ x = 5 cot(t), y = - 3csc(t) + 4 }
Now instead of isolating the t from either equation, let's isolate cot(t) and csc(t) --- Step #1,
x = 5 cot(t) ⇒ x - 5 = cot(t),
y = - 3csc(t) + 4 ⇒ y - 4 = - 3csc(t) ⇒ y - 4 / - 3 = csc(t)
Now let's square these two equations. We know that csc²θ - cot²θ = 1, so let's subtract the equations as well. --- Step #2
( y - 4 / - 3 )² = (csc(t))²
- ( x - 5 / 1 )² = (cot(t))²
___________________
(y - 4)² / 9 - x² / 25 = 1
And as we are subtracting the two expressions, this is an example of a hyperbola. Therefore your solution is option b.

solve the equation for 3x=24 for x
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
3x = 24
Divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = 24/3
x = 8
The solution for x in the equation, 3x = 24 is 8.
What is the answer for the equation?To solve the equation 3x = 24 for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. Here's how we can do that:
Start with the equation 3x = 24.
Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x. This gives us (3x)/3 = 24/3.
Simplify the equation: x = 8.
Therefore, the solution to the equation 3x = 24 is x = 8.
This means that if we substitute x with 8 in the original equation, we get 3(8) = 24, which is true.

5 STARS IF CORRECT! Can you translate a phrase or sentence into symbols? Explain the answer.
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
It depends on the sentence or phrase. If the sentence includes an operation of numbers or something related to comparing numbers, then maybe it can be translated into symbols. If the sentence or phrase has nothing to do with quantities, or operations or comparison of quantities, then probably it can't.
Examples:
1) The boy went for a walk.
There's nothing to translate into symbols in this case.
2) I had $10 in my bank account, then I deposited n dollars. Now I have $30 in my account.
In this case, I can translate the sentence into an equation.
10 + n = 30
A player at a fair pays Rs. 100 to roll a dice. The player receives Rs. 50 if the number of dots facing up is equal to 5, Rs. 200 if the number is 6, but nothing otherwise. Find the expected value of the reward Y. What is the expected value of the gain? Find out the standard deviation of Y.
Answer:
The dice has 6 options:
if the outcome is 5, player wins 50
if the outcome is 6, player wins 200
if the outcome is another number, the player does not win anything.
Now, remember that the expected value can be written as:
E = ∑xₙpₙ
where xₙ is the event n, and pₙ is the probability of that event.
for a dice, the probabilty for each number is 1/6
The expected value is:
E = (1/6)*(0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 50 + 200) = 41.66
The expected gain will be E - 100 (because the player pays 100 in order to play)
Then the expected gain is:
G = 41.66 - 100 = -58.33
The standard deviation can be written as:
s = √( ∑(x - x)^2/n)
where x is the mean, in this case the mean is:
(200 + 50 + 4*0)/6 = 41.66 and n = 6.
s = √( (1/6)*(4*(0 - 41.66)^2 + (50 - 41.66)^2 + (200 - 41.66)^2) ) = 73
So we have a lot of standard deviation on Y.
