Answer:
The sample correlation coefficient r = 0.9113
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are interested in calculating the sample correlation coefficient.
From the question, we are given;
We are given that,
The sample standard deviation of stock X = 4.665
The sample standard deviation of stock Y = 8.427
The sample covariance = 35.826
Mathematically, the Pearson correlation coefficient "r", it is given as;
r = (co-variance of X and Y)/(standard deviation of X * Standard deviation of Y)
Inputing these values, we have;
r = (35.826)/(4.665 * 8.427) = 0.9113

Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
This blue line seems to be horizontal, and so a line perpendicular would have to be vertical. The only vertical line that passes through (2, 6) would be x = 2.
The equation of the line perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2, 6) is x = 2.
What is the Equation of line in Slope Intercept form?Equation of a line in slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept, which is the y coordinate of the point where it touches the Y axis.
Given is a line that passes through the points (-8, -4) and (8, -4).
This line is parallel to the X axis.
A line parallel to X axis has the equation y = b.
The y coordinate is -4 throughout the line.
So equation of the line is y = -4.
A line perpendicular to the given line will be parallel to Y axis.
Parallel lines to Y axis has the equation of the form x = a.
Line passes through the point (2, 6).
x coordinate will be 2 throughout.
So the equation of the perpendicular line is x = 2.
Hence the required equation is x = 2.

Answer:
y = [tex]\sqrt[3]{x-5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse of any function you basically switch x and y.
function = y = x^3 + 5
Now we switch x and y
x = y^3 +5
Solve for y,
x - 5 = y^3
switch sides,
y^3 = x-5
y = [tex]\sqrt[3]{x-5}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{{f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{x-5}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is given,
[tex]f(x)=x^3 +5[/tex]
The inverse of a function reverses the original function.
Replace f(x) with y.
[tex]y=x^3 +5[/tex]
Switch variables.
[tex]x=y^3 +5[/tex]
Solve for y to find the inverse.
Subtract 5 from both sides.
[tex]x-5=y^3[/tex]
Take the cube root of both sides.

In a local university, 10% of the students live in the dormitories. A random sample of 100 students is selected for a particular study. Carry answer to the nearest ten-thousandths. (Bonus Question)
a. What is the probability that the sample proportion (the proportion living in the dormitories) is between 0.172 and 0.178?
b. What is the probability that the sample proportion (the proportion living in the dormitories) is greater than 0.025?
Answer:
a
[tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = 0.00354[/tex]
b
[tex]P( X >0.025 ) = 0.99379[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population proportion is [tex]p = 0.10[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 100[/tex]
Generally the standard error is mathematically represented as
[tex]SE = \sqrt{\frac{ p (1 - p )}{n} }[/tex]
=> [tex]SE = \sqrt{\frac{ 0.10 (1 - 0.10 )}{100} }[/tex]
=> [tex]SE =0.03[/tex]
The sample proportion (the proportion living in the dormitories) is between 0.172 and 0.178
[tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = P (\frac{ 0.172 - 0.10}{0.03} < \frac{ X - 0.10}{SE} < \frac{ 0.178 - 0.10}{0.03} )[/tex]
Generally [tex]\frac{ X - 0.10}{SE} = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of X )[/tex]
[tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = P (\frac{ 0.172 - 0.10}{0.03} <Z < \frac{ 0.178 - 0.10}{0.03} )[/tex]
[tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = P (2.4 <Z < 2.6 )[/tex]
[tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = P(Z < 2.6 ) - P (Z < 2.4 )[/tex]
From the z-table
[tex]P(Z < 2.6 ) = 0.99534[/tex]
[tex]P(Z < 2.4 ) = 0.9918[/tex]
[tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) =0.99534 - 0.9918[/tex]
[tex]P( 0.172 < X < 0.178 ) = 0.00354[/tex]
the probability that the sample proportion (the proportion living in the dormitories) is greater than 0.025 is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]P( X >0.025 ) = P (\frac{ X - 0.10}{SE} > \frac{ 0.0025- 0.10}{0.03} )[/tex]
[tex]P( X >0.025 ) = P (Z > -2.5 )[/tex]
From the z-table
[tex]P (Z > -2.5 ) = 0.99379[/tex]
Thus
[tex]P( X >0.025 ) = P (Z > -2.5 ) = 0.99379[/tex]

Number of ways = C(10,2)
Similarly,
1 space for 'e' → C(8,1)
1 space for 'o' → C(7,1)
1 space for 'r' → C(6,1)
1 space for 'i' → C(5,1)
1 space for 'a' → C(4,2)

Required number of different sequences = C(10,2) ×C(8,1)× C(7,1)× C(6,1)×C(5,1)×C(2,2).
Hence, the correct option is E) C(10, 2)C(8, 1)C(7, 1)C(6, 1)C(5, 1)C(4, 2)C(2, 2)

If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute.b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 76 beats per minute.c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?A. Since the mean pulse rate exceeds 30, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.B. Since the distribution is of individuals, not sample means, the distribution is a normal distribution for any sample size.C. Since the distribution is of sample means, not individuals, the distribution is a normal distribution for any sample size.D. Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.
Answer:
a. the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute is 0.5948
b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 76 beats per minute is 0.8849
c. D. Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean μ =73.0
Standard deviation σ =12.5
a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute.
Let X represent the random variable that is normally distributed with a mean of 73.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute.
Then : X [tex]\sim[/tex] N ( μ = 73.0 , σ = 12.5)
The probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute can be computed as:
[tex]P(X < 76) = P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}< \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma})[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 76) = P(\dfrac{76-\mu}{\sigma}< \dfrac{76-73}{12.5})[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 76) = P(Z< \dfrac{3}{12.5})[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 76) = P(Z< 0.24)[/tex]
From the standard normal distribution tables,
[tex]P(X < 76) = 0.5948[/tex]
Therefore , the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute is 0.5948
b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 76 beats per minute.
now; we have a sample size n = 25
The probability can now be calculated as follows:
[tex]P(\overline X < 76) = P(\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{ \overline X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}})[/tex]
[tex]P( \overline X < 76) = P(\dfrac{76-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{76-73}{\dfrac{12.5}{\sqrt{25}}})[/tex]
[tex]P( \overline X < 76) = P(Z< \dfrac{3}{\dfrac{12.5}{5}})[/tex]
[tex]P( \overline X < 76) = P(Z< 1.2)[/tex]
From the standard normal distribution tables,
[tex]P(\overline X < 76) = 0.8849[/tex]
c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?
In order to determine the probability in part (b); the normal distribution is perfect to be used here even when the sample size does not exceed 30.
Therefore option D is correct.
Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.
A box contain 12 balls in which 4 are white 3 are blue and 5 are red.3 balls are drawn at random from the box.find the chance that all three are selected
Answer:
3/11
Step-by-step explanation:
In the above question, we have the following information
Total number of balls = 12
White balls = 4
Blue balls = 3
Red balls = 5
We are to find the chance of probability that if we select 3 balls, all the three are selected.
Hence,
Probability ( all the three balls are selected) = P(White ball) × P(Blue ball) × P( Red ball)
Probability ( all the three balls are selected) = 4/12 × 3/11 × 5/10
= 60/1320
= 1/22
The number of ways by which we can selected all the three balls is a total of 6 ways:
WBR = White, Blue, Red
WRB = White, Red, Blue
RBW = Red, Blue, White
RWB = Red, White, Blue
BRW = Blue, Red, White
BWR = Blue, White, Red
Therefore, the chance that all three are selected :
1/22 × 6 ways = 6/22 = 3/11

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}-10&6\\ 25&24\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}-8&-8\\ 12&1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\left(-10\right)-\left(-8\right)&6-\left(-8\right)\\ 25-12&24-1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-2&14\\ 13&23\end{bmatrix}[/tex] ,
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}2&4\\ 5&4\end{bmatrix}X=\begin{bmatrix}-2&14\\ 13&23\end{bmatrix}[/tex] (Multiply either side by inverse of matrix 1)
[tex]X=\begin{bmatrix}2&4\\ 5&4\end{bmatrix}^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}-2&14\\ 13&23\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}5&3\\ -3&2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Jessica is at a charity fundraiser and has a chance of receiving a gift. The odds in favor of receiving a gift are 5/12. Find the probability of Jessica receiving a gift.
Answer:
5/17
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question to calculate probability from odds. The formula is given as:
A formula for calculating probability from odds is P = Odds / (Odds + 1)
From the question , we are told that the odds of receiving a gift is
= 5:12
The probability of Jessica receiving a gift =
Probability = Odds / (Odds + 1)
P = 5/12 / ( 5/12 + 1)
P = (5/12)/ (17/12)
P = 5/12 × 12/17
= 5/17
Therefore, the probability of Jessica. receiving a gift is 5/17.
From a group of 11 people, 4 are randomly selected. What is the probability the 4 oldest people in the group were selected
The probability that the 4 oldest people in the group were selected is based on combinatorics is 0.00303 or 0.303%.
Given that:
Find how many ways the 4 oldest people can be selected from the group.
Since the 4 oldest people are already determined, there is only 1 way to select them.
n = 11 (total number of people in the group) and k = 4 (number of people to be selected).To calculate the probability, to determine the total number of ways to select 4 people from the group of 11. This can be found using the combination formula:
Number of ways to choose k items from n items :
C(n,k) = n! / (k!(n-k)!)
Calculate the total number of ways to select 4 people from the group:
Plugging n and k value from given data:
C(11,4 )= 11! / (4!(11-4)!)
On simplifications gives:
C(11, 4) = 330.
Calculate the probability:
Probability = Number of ways 4 oldest people selected / Total number of ways to select 4 people
Plugging the given data:
Probability = 1 / 330
Probability ≈ 0.00303 or 0.303%.
Therefore, the probability that the 4 oldest people in the group were selected is based on combinatorics is 0.00303 or 0.303%.

The expression = [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]
Value of the expression = 4 (when y is 20)
Step-by-step explanation:
Quotient simply means the result you get when you divide two numbers. Thus, dividend (the numerator) ÷ divisor (the denominator) = quotient.
From the information given to us here,
the dividend = 40
the divisor = y - 16
The quotient = [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]
There, the expression would be [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]
Find the value of the expression when y = 20.
Plug in 20 for y in the expression and evaluate.

Find the product of all solutions of the equation (10x + 33) · (11x + 60) = 0
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Zero Product Property, we can split this equation into two separate equations by setting each factor to 0. The equations are:
10x + 33 = 0 or 11x + 60 = 0
10x = -33 or 11x = -60
x = -33/10 or x = -60/11
Multiplying the two solutions together, we get -33/10 * -60/11 = 1980 / 110 = 18.

Please refer to the image attached in the answer area.
The shaded region is the intersection of the two sets P and Q.
When we apply the above concept in events, we can clearly say from the above explanation that the intersection of two events A and B is the event that occurs when both A and B occur.
So, correct answer is:
c. both A and B
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the union and interesection of each of the following A={3,6,9,12}, B ={6,8,9}
Answer:
Hello,
The answer would be,
A union B = {3,6,9,12}
and A intersection B= {6,9}
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{ A\ union \ B = \{3,6,8,9,12\}}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\boxed{A\ intersection \ B = \{6,9\}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A = {3,6,9,12}
B = {6,8,9}
A∪B = {3,6,9,12} ∪ { 6,8,9} [Union means all of the elements should be included in the set of A∪B]
=> A∪B = {3,6,8,9,12}
Now,
A∩B = {3,6,9,12} ∩ {6,8,9} [Intersection means common elements of the set]
=> A∩B = {6,9}
A manufacturing company regularly conducts quality control checks at specified periods on the products it manufactures. Historically, the failure rate for LED light bulbs that the company manufactures is 3%. Suppose a random sample of 10 LED light bulbs is selected. What is the probability that
Answer:
The probability that none of the LED light bulbs are defective is 0.7374.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is:
What is the probability that none of the LED light bulbs are defective?
Solution:
Let the random variable X represent the number of defective LED light bulbs.
The probability of a LED light bulb being defective is, P (X) = p = 0.03.
A random sample of n = 10 LED light bulbs is selected.
The event of a specific LED light bulb being defective is independent of the other bulbs.
The random variable X thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 10 and p = 0.03.
The probability mass function of X is:
[tex]P(X=x)={10\choose x}(0.03)^{x}(1-0.03)^{10-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...[/tex]
Compute the probability that none of the LED light bulbs are defective as follows:
[tex]P(X=0)={10\choose 0}(0.03)^{0}(1-0.03)^{10-0}[/tex]
[tex]=1\times 1\times 0.737424\\=0.737424\\\approx 0.7374[/tex]
Thus, the probability that none of the LED light bulbs are defective is 0.7374.
Ben and Cam are scuba diving. Ben is 15.8 meters below the
surface of the water. Cam is 4.2 meters above Ben. What is Cam's
position relative to the surface of the water?
=======================================================
Explanation:
Check out the diagram below.
Draw a vertical number line with 0 at the center. The positive values are above it, while the negative values are below it.
Between -15 and -16, closer to -16, plot the value -15.8 to indicate Ben's position. I have done so as the point B.
We move 4.2 units up to arrive at Cam's position
-15.8 + 4.2 = -11.6
So Cam is 11.6 meters below the surface of the water.
