Answer: 60%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, AP$ of Brisket = $4.72
Weight of each brisket on purchase : 10.4 lbs
Weight of each brisket after smoking : 6.24 lbs
Yield % of the briskets after Carol is done smoking them=[tex]\dfrac{\text{Weight after smoking}}{\text{Weight on purchase}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{6.24}{10.4}\times100\\\\=60\%[/tex]
Hence, the yield % of the briskets after Carol is done smoking them = 60%
Question on Statistics and Confidence Intervals
A field test for a new exam was given to randomly selected seniors. The exams were graded, and the sample mean and sample standard deviation were calculated. Based on the results, the exam creator claims that on the same exam, nine times out of ten, seniors will have an average score within 5% of 75%.
Is the confidence interval at 90%, 95%, or 99%? What is the margin of error? Calculate the confidence interval and explain what it means in terms of the situation. (10 points)
The phrasing "nine times out of ten" means 9/10 = 0.90 = 90% is the confidence level. We're confident 90% of the time that the confidence interval captures the population parameter we're after (in this case mu = population mean)
The portion "have an average score within 5% of 75%" means that 75% = 0.75 is the center of the confidence interval, and it goes as low as 0.75 - 0.05 = 0.70 and as high as 0.75 + 0.05 = 0.80
This confidence interval is from 70% to 80%, meaning that nine times out of ten, we're confident that the average score is between 70% and 80%
We write the confidence interval as (0.70, 0.80). It's common to use the notation (L, U) to indicate the lower (L) and upper (U) boundaries. You might see the notation in the form L < mu < U. If so, then it would be 0.70 < mu < 0.80; either way they mean the same thing.
The margin of error is 0.05 as its the 5% radius of the interval. It tells us how far the most distant score is from the center (75%)
=========================================
In summary, we have these answers
confidence level = 90%margin of error = 5% = 0.05confidence interval = (0.70, 0.80)interpretation = We're 90% confident that the average exam score is between 0.70 and 0.80Help us plazz this is mathematics IGCSE fast as you can
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y varies direcrtly with √(x+5) wich can be expressed mathematically as:
● y = k*√(x+5)
Let's calculate k khowing that y=4 and x=-1
● 4 = k*√(-1+5)
● 4 = k*√(4)
● 4 = k * 2
● k = 4/2
● k = 2
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Let's calculate y khowing that x = 11
● y = k*√(x+5)
● y = 2×√(11+5)
● y = 2× √(16)
● y = 2× 4
● y = 8
Answer:
The value of y is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y is directly proportional to √(x+5) so the equation is y = k√(x+5) where k is constant. First, you have to find the value of k with given values :
[tex]y = k \sqrt{x + 5} [/tex]
[tex]let \: x = - 1,y = 4[/tex]
[tex]4 = k \sqrt{ - 1 + 5} [/tex]
[tex]4 = k \sqrt{4} [/tex]
[tex]4 = k(2)[/tex]
[tex]4 \div 2 = k[/tex]
[tex]k = 2[/tex]
So the equation is y = 2√(x+5). In order to find the value of y, you have to substitute x = 11 into the equation :
[tex]y = 2 \sqrt{x + 5} [/tex]
[tex]let \: x = 11[/tex]
[tex]y = 2 \sqrt{11 + 5} [/tex]
[tex]y = 2 \sqrt{16} [/tex]
[tex]y = 2(4)[/tex]
[tex]y = 8[/tex]

Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
log 256 can most easily be found by rewriting 256 as a power of 2:
2
2^5 * 2^3 = 32*8 = 256, so 2^ (5 + 3) = 2^8.
Then we have:
log 256
2 2 = 256
Alternatively, write:
log (down)2 256 = log (down)2 2^8 = 2*8 = 256
Note that your "log (down)^2 and the function y = 2^x are inverse functions that effectively cancel one another.
Given that −4i is a zero, factor the following polynomial function completely. Use the Conjugate Roots Theorem, if applicable. f(x)=x4−2x3+x2−32x−240
Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ f(x)=(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5) \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, the Conjugate Roots Theorem states that if a complex number is a zero of real polynomial its conjugate is a zero too. It means that (x-4i)(x+4i) are factors of f(x).
[tex]\text{Meaning that } (x-4i)(x+4i) =x^2-(4i)^2=x^2+16 \text{ is a factor of f(x).}[/tex]
The coefficient of the leading term is 1 and the constant term is -240 = 16 * (-15), so we a re looking for a real number such that.
[tex]f(x)=x^4-2x^3+x^2-32x-240\\\\ =(x^2+16)(x^2+ax-15)\\\\ =x^4+ax^3-15x^2+16x^2+16ax-240[/tex]
We identify the coefficients for the like terms, it comes
a = -2 and 16a = -32 (which is equivalent). So, we can write in [tex]\mathbb{R}[/tex].
[tex]\\f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)[/tex]
The sum of the zeroes is 2=5-3 and their product is -15=-3*5, so we can factorise by (x-5)(x+3), which gives.
[tex]f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x^2+3x-5x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x(x+3)-5(x+3))\\\\=\boxed{(x^2+16)(x+3)(x-5)}[/tex]
And we can write in [tex]\mathbb{C}[/tex]
[tex]f(x)=\boxed{(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5)}[/tex]
Hope this helps.

Jury Duty Three people are randomly selected from voter registration and driving records to report for jury duty. The gender of each person is noted by the county clerk.
a. Define the experiment.
b. List the simple events in S.
c. If each person is just as likely to be a man as a woman, what probability do you assign to each simple event?
d. What is the probability that only one of the three is a man?
e. What is the probability that all three are women?
Answer:
(a) The experiment defined here is a random variable that includes the selecting of 3 people from the set of voter registration and driving records.
(b) The simple events in sample space, S = (M, M, M), (M, F, M), (M, M, F), (F, M, M), (F, M, F), (F, F, M), (M, F, F), and (F, F, F).
(c) If each person is just as likely to be a man as a woman, then the probability for each of the simple event can be assigned as [tex]0.5 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 = 0.125[/tex].
(d) The probability that only one of the three is a man is 0.375.
(e) The probability that all three are women is 0.125.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that three people are randomly selected from voter registration and driving records to report for jury duty. The gender of each person is noted by the county clerk.
(a) The experiment defined here is a random variable that includes the selecting of 3 people from the set of voter registration and driving records.
(b) As we know that the gender of each person is noted by the county clerk, which means one is male and another female.
So, the simple events in sample space, S = (M, M, M), (M, F, M), (M, M, F), (F, M, M), (F, M, F), (F, F, M), (M, F, F), and (F, F, F).
Here, M is denoted for male and F for female.
(c) If each person is just as likely to be a man as a woman, then the probability for each of the simple event can be assigned as [tex]0.5 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 = 0.125[/tex].
Because there is 50-50 chance of selecting males or females.
(d) The probability that only one of the three is a man is given by;
The total cases in the sample space = 8
Number of cases of only one man out of three = 3
So, the required probability = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] = 0.375.
(e) The probability that all three are women is given by;
The total cases in the sample space = 8
Number of cases of all three are women = 1
So, the required probability = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] = 0.125.

If Company X has 1600 employees and 80% of those employees have attended the warehouse training course how many employees have yet to attend?
Answer:
320
Step-by-step explanation:
Total no of employees = 1600
% of employees attended the training = 80%
no. of employee who attended the training = 80/100* 1600 = 1280
No. of employees who are yet to attend the training = Total no of employees - no. of employee who attended the training = 1600-1280 = 320
Thus, 320 employees have yet to attend the training
The number of chocolate chips in a bag of chocolate chip cookies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 1262 chips and a standard deviation of 118 chips.
Required:
a. Determine the 26th percentile for the number of chocolate chips in a bag.
b. Determine the number of chocolate chps in a bag that make up the middle 96% of bags.
Answer:
(a) The 26th percentile for the number of chocolate chips in a bag is 1185
(b) The number of chocolate chips in a bag that makes up the middle 96% of the bags is between 1020 and 1504
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we have the following values:
μ =1262 and σ =118
(a) Let the value of x represents the 26th percentile. So the 26th percentile means 26% data is less than x. We can use the standard normal table to get the particular z-value that corresponds to this percentile.
P( Z<-0.65 )=0.2578 which is approximately 0.26
So for 26th percentile z-score will be -0.65.
Mathematically;
z-score = (x-mean)/SD
-0.65 = (x-1262)/118
-76.7 = x -1262
x = 1262-76.7 = 1185.3
This value is approximately 1,185
(b) Using a graph of standard normal distribution curve, if middle is 96% , then at both tails 2% each.
From z-table, we can find the closest probability;
P(-2.05<z<2.05) = 0.96
So we have two x values to get from the individual z-scores
-2.05 = (x-1262)/118
x = 1020(approximately)
For 2.05, we have
2.05 = (x-1262)/118
x = 1262 + 2.05(118) = 1504 (approximately)
In a recent survey of drinking laws, a random sample of 1000 women showed that 65% were in favor of increasing the legal drinking age. In a random sample of 1000 men, 60% favored increasing the legal drinking age. Test the claim that the percentage of men and women favoring a higher legal drinking age is different at (alpha 0.05).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Let sample size of women be [tex]n_1[/tex] = 1000
Let the proportion of the women be [tex]p_1[/tex] = 0.65
Let the sample size of the men be [tex]n_2[/tex] = 1000
Let the proportion of the mem be [tex]p_2[/tex] = 0.60
The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:
[tex]H_0: p_1 = p_2[/tex]
[tex]H_0a: p_1 \neq p_2[/tex]
Thus from the alternative hypothesis we can realize that this is a two tailed test.
However, the pooled sample proportion p = [tex]\dfrac{p_1n_1+p_2n_2 } {n_1 +n_2}[/tex]
p =[tex]\dfrac{0.65 * 1000+0.60*1000 } {1000 +1000}[/tex]
p = [tex]\dfrac{650+600 } {2000}[/tex]
p = 0.625
The standard error of the test can be computed as follows:
[tex]SE = \sqrt{p(1-p) ( \dfrac{1} {n_1}+ \dfrac{1}{n_2} )}[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{0.625(1-0.625) ( \dfrac{1} {1000}+ \dfrac{1}{1000} )}[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{0.625(0.375) ( 0.001+0.001 )}[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{0.234375 (0.002)}[/tex]
[tex]SE = \sqrt{4.6875 * 10^{-4}}[/tex]
[tex]SE = 0.02165[/tex]
The test statistics is :
[tex]z =\dfrac{p_1-p_2}{S.E}[/tex]
[tex]z =\dfrac{0.65-0.60}{0.02165}[/tex]
[tex]z =\dfrac{0.05}{0.02165}[/tex]
[tex]z =2.31[/tex]
At level of significance of 0.05 the critical value for the z test will be in the region between - 1.96 and 1.96
Rejection region: To reject the null hypothesis if z < -1.96 or z > 1.96
Conclusion: Since the value of z is greater than 1.96, it lies in the region region. Therefore we reject the null hypothesis and we conclude that the percentage of men and women favoring a higher legal drinking age is different.
In cooking class, Shivani measures a stick
of butter. It is 13 centimeters long, 3
centimeters wide, and 3 centimeters tall. What
is the volume of the stick of butter?
Answer:
117 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we can simply multiply the length, width and height so the answer is 13 * 3 * 3 = 117 cm³.
Answer:
117 cubic centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the stick of butter is a perfect rectangular prism, we can calculate the volume by simply multiplying the length, width, and the height as modeled by the volume equation:
V = LWH
For this, the L = 13cm, W = 3cm, and H = 3cm
So our volume in cubic centimeters will be:
V = LWH
V = (13cm) * (3cm) * (3cm)
V = (13cm) * (9cm^2)
V = 117 cm^3
So the volume of the stick of butter is 117 cubic centimeters.

point estimate A sample of 81 observations is taken from a normal population with a standard deviation of 5. The sample mean is 40. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population mean
Answer:
The 95 percent Confidence Interval is for the population is (38.911 , 41.089)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the above question, we would be making use of the confidence interval formula:
Confidence Interval = Mean ± z score × σ/√n
In the above question,
Mean = 40
σ = Standard deviation = 5
n = number of samples = 81
Confidence Interval = 95%
The z score for a 95% confidence interval = 1.96
Therefore, the confidence interval =
= 40 ± 1.96 (5/√81)
= 40 ± 1.96(5/9)
= 40 ± 1.0888888889
Confidence Interval
a)40 + 1.0888888889
= 41.0888888889
Approximately = 41.089
b ) 40 - 1.0888888889
= 38.911111111
Approximately = 38.911
Therefore, the 95 percent Confidence Interval is for the population is (38.911 , 41.089)
A rectangular city is 3 miles long and 10 miles wide. What is the distance between opposite corners of the city? The exact distance is ______ miles How far is it to the closest tenth of a mile? Answer: The distance is approximately ______ miles.
Answer:
The exact distance is [tex]\sqrt{109}[/tex] miles.
The distance is approximately 10.4 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a rectangular city is 3 miles long and 10 miles wide. So,
Length = 3 miles
Width = 10 miles
We need to find the distance between opposite corners of the city. It means, we need to find the length of the diagonal of the rectangle.
Using Pythagoras theorem, the length of diagonal is
[tex]d=\sqrt{l^2+w^2}[/tex]
where, l is length and w is width.
Substitute l=3 and w=10.
[tex]d=\sqrt{(3)^2+(10)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{9+100}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{109}[/tex]
The exact distance is [tex]\sqrt{109}[/tex] miles.
Now,
[tex]d=\sqrt{109}[/tex]
[tex]d=10.4403065[/tex]
[tex]d\approx 10.4[/tex]
The distance is approximately 10.4 miles.

To the nearest tenth, what is the value of P(C|Y)? 0.4 0.5 0.7 0.8
Answer:
P(C|Y) = 0.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following table below;
X Y Z Total
A 32 10 28 70
B 6 5 25 36
C 18 15 7 40
Total 56 30 60 146
Now, we have to find the probability of P(C/Y).
As we know that the conditional probability formula of P(A/B) is given by;
P(A/B) = [tex]\frac{P(A \bigcap B)}{P(B)}[/tex]
So, according to our question;
P(C/Y) = [tex]\frac{P(C \bigcap Y)}{P(Y)}[/tex]
Here, P(Y) = [tex]\frac{30}{146}[/tex] and P(C [tex]\bigcap[/tex] Y) = [tex]\frac{15}{146}[/tex] {by seeing third row and second column}
Hence, P(C/Y) = [tex]\frac{\frac{15}{146} }{\frac{30}{146} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15}{30}[/tex] = 0.5.

The data set {3, 7, 5, 4, 1} consists of the lengths, in minutes, of a sample of speeches at an awards banquet. Use a formula to find the standard deviation of the sample, and label it with the correct variable.
Answer:
Standard deviation = 2.2360679774998
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the Standard deviation of a samples of speeches as an awards.
The formula for sample standard deviation is given as:
√[(x - μ)²/N - 1 ]
Step 1
We find the mean (μ)
The mean of the sample =>
= Sum of term/ Number of terms
= (3 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 1)/5
= 20/5
= 4
Step 2
Find the Standard deviation of the sample
√[(x - μ)²/N - 1 ]
N = number of samples or terms = 5
= √[(3 - 4) ² + (7 - 4)² + (5 - 4)² +(4 - 4)² +(1 - 4)²/ 4]
= √ (1 ² + 3² + -1² + 0² + -3²/4)
= √( 1 + 9 + 1 + 0 + 9/4)
= √20/5 - 1
= √5
= 2.2360679774998
The standard deviation of the sample = 2.2360679774998

Answer:
3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = (39x-15)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is : 3[x + 3(4x – 5)]
We need to find the equivalent expression for this given expression. We need to simplify it. Firstly, open the brackets. So,
[tex]3[x + 3(4x -5)]=3[x+12x-15][/tex]
Again open the brackets,
[tex]3[x+12x-15]=3x+36x-45[/tex]
Now adding numbers having variables together. So,
[tex]3[x + 3(4x - 5)]=39x-15[/tex]
So, the equivalent expression of 3[x + 3(4x – 5)] is (39x-15).

A box is 90 cm long. Which of these is closest to the length of this box in feet?{1 inch= 2.54cm} (1 point)
Answer:
2.952755906 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to convert 90 cm to inches
90 cm * 1 inch / 2.54 cm =35.43307087 inches
Now convert inches to ft
12 inches = 1ft
35.43307087 inches * 1 ft/ 12 inches =2.952755906 ft
According to the Federal Communications Commission, 70% of all U.S. households have vcrs. In a random sample of 15 households, what is the probability that fewer than 13 have vcrs?
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(x < 13) = 0.8732[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The probability of success is p = 0.70
The sample size is [tex]n = 15[/tex]
Generally the distribution of U.S. households have vcrs follow a binomial distribution given that there are only two outcome (household having vcrs or household not having vcrs )
The probability of failure is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]q = 1- p[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]q = 1- 0.70[/tex]
[tex]q = 0.30[/tex]
The probability that fewer than 13 have vcrs is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1- [P(13) + P(14) + P(15)][/tex]
=> [tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[( \left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{13} *p^{13}* q^{15-13})+ (\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{14} *p^{14}* q^{15-14}) +( \left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{15} *p^{15}* q^{15-15}) ][/tex]
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{13}[/tex] means 15 combination 13 and the value is 105 (obtained from calculator)
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{14}[/tex] means 15 combination 14 and the value is 15 (obtained from calculator)
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{15}[/tex] means 15 combination 15 and the value is 1 (obtained from calculator)
So
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[(105 *p^{13}* q^{2})+ (15 *p^{14}* q^{1}) +(1*p^{15}* q^{0}) ][/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[(105 *(0.70)^{13}* (0.30)^{2})+ (15 *(0.70)^{14}* (0.30)^{1}) +(1*(0.70)^{15}* (0.30)^{0}) ][/tex]
[tex]P(x < 13) = 0.8732[/tex]
