Education professionals refer to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as the STEM disciplines. A research group reported that 27% of freshmen entering college in a recent year planned to major in a STEM discipline. A random sample of 85 freshmen is selected. Round the answer to at least four decimal places

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1) It is appropriate to use the normal curve, since np = 22.95 ≥ 10 and n(1 - p) = 62.05 ≥ 10

2) The probability that less than 28% of the freshmen in the sample are planning to major in a STEM discipline = 0.5832

Step-by-step explanation:

Concluding part of the question

1) Is it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that less than 28% of the freshmen in the sample are planning to major in a STEM discipline?

2) Find the probability that less than 28% of the freshmen in the sample are planning to major in a STEM discipline?

Solution

1) The condition for a distribution (binomial) to approximate a normal distribution is that

np ≥ 10 and n(1-p) ≥ 10

where n = sample size = 85

p = population proportion = sample proportion = 0.27

np = 85 × 0.27 = 22.95 ≥ 10

n(1-p) = 85 × 0.73 = 62.05 ≥ 10

2) To obtain the required probability, we need the standard deviation of the sampling distribution

σₓ = √[p(1-p)/n] = √(0.27×0.73/85) = 0.0481541642 = 0.04815

To obtain the probability that less than 28% of the freshmen in the sample are planning to major in a STEM discipline, we need to standardize 28%

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (0.28 - 0.27)/0.04815 = 0.21

To obtain the probability that less than 28% of the freshmen in the sample are planning to major in a STEM discipline

P(x < 0.28) = P(z < 0.21)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(x < 0.28) = P(z < 0.21) = 0.58317 = 0.5832 to 4 d.p

Hope this Helps!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone can be represented by the formula [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h[/tex]. Since we know the radius is 5, all we need to find id the height. To do that, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, and see that the height is equal to 12. Plugging the numbers into the formula gives us:

[tex]f(x)=-13[/tex] at [tex]x=2[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=-18[/tex] at [tex]x=3[/tex]

It is clear that the value of f(x) decreasing by 5 when the value of x is increasing by 1.

Since the function changing at a constant rate, therefore it represents a linear function.

If a linear function passing through two points, then the equation of line is

[tex]y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

The given linear function passes through (1,-8) and (2,-13), therefore the linear equation is

[tex]y-(-8)=\dfrac{-13-(-8)}{2-1}(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y+8=\dfrac{-5}{1}(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y+8=-5(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y=-5x+5-8[/tex]

[tex]y=-5x-3[/tex]

So, the required function is [tex]f(x)=-5x-3[/tex].

PLZ HELP WILL RATE BRAINLIEST REMEMBER IT HAS 5 DIGITS

Answer:

The number: 13,226

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The smallest 5-digit number possibile is: 10,000

2. The smallest 5-digit number being odd should be: 10,001

3. All factors of 6 are {1, 2, 3, 6} so that the smallest possible way to arrange these numbers would be: 11,236

4.  Now this number contains 3 prime numbers, 2 being {2 and 3}. If we were to consider another prime number, still being a factor of 6, that would be: 2. That would mean instead of the 1 being the second digit of the value 11,236 it could be 2: 12,236.

5. The digit in the thousands place (2) should be greater than the digit in the tens place (3). Let's swap these digits for now so that condition is satisfied: 13,226. 2 is the only number that has a number greater than it, besides 1, but 1 can't be a digit in the tenth place as it would make a greater 5 digit-number. Thus, provided the conditions are still satisfied, the number 13,226 is the smallest number possible.

⅓ m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is:

A = s²

Take derivative of both sides with respect to time:

dA/dt = 2s ds/dt

Given that dA/dt = 6 m²/s and s = 9 m:

6 m²/s = 2 (9 m) ds/dt

ds/dt = ⅓ m/s

The Formula of the area of a square: A = bh or A = s^2

Solution:

~Take derivative of both sides

da/dt = 2s * ds/dt

~Use given values (6m^2/s and 9m)

6 = 2(9) * ds/dt

~Simplify

1/3m/s = ds/dt

               [tex]f^{l} (x) = \frac{8 x}{3-x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Step(i):-

Given the function

                        [tex]f(x) = \frac{3 x}{8+x}[/tex]

Given function is one-one and onto function

Hence f(x) is bijection function

                   [tex]y = f(x) = \frac{3 x}{8+x}[/tex]

now cross multiplication, we get

            ( 8+x)y = 3 x

             8 y + x y = 3 x

             8 y = 3 x - x y

taking Common 'x' we get

            x (3 - y) = 8 y

                   [tex]x = \frac{8 y}{3-y}[/tex]

Step(ii):-

The inverse function

                 [tex]x = \frac{8 y}{3-y} = f^{l}(y)[/tex]

The inverse function of x

                  [tex]f^{l}(x) = \frac{8 x}{3-x}[/tex]

which number when rounded to the nearest hundredth is 37.62

Answers

Answer:

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The number given is 37.62. So, by rounding to the nearest hundredths the number becomes 37.612 and this can be determined by using the rules of rounding off to the nearest hundredths.

Given :

Number - 37.62

The following steps can be used to round off any number to the nearest hundredth:

Step 1 - In the thousandths place value analyze that digit to round off a decimal.

Step 2 - If the value is 5 or more than 5 in the thousandth place then the digit is increased by 1 which is at the hundredth place and in the thousandth place digit and thereafter becomes zero.

Now, the number given is 37.62. So, by rounding to the nearest hundredths the number becomes 37.612.

Therefore, the correct option is B) 37.612.

Which value has an absolute deviation of 5 from the mean of this data set?
26, 12, 35, 28, 14
A 28
B. 35
C. 26
D. 14

Answers

Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation: see prev. explanation

The absolute deviation of 5 from the mean of this data set is 28.

What is absolute deviation?

Absolute deviation is "the distance between each data point to the mean".

According to the question,

The data set is 26, 12, 35, 28, 14

Average of the data set = [tex]\frac{sum of the data value }{Total number of observation}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{26+12+35+28+14}{5}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{115}{5}[/tex]

= 23.

Thus, the average of the data set is 23.

In order to find absolute deviation of 5 subtract each data point from the mean.

26 - 23 = |3| = 3

12 - 23  = |-11| = 11

35 - 23 = |12| = 12

28 - 23 = |5| =  5

14 - 23  = |-9| = 9.

Hence, the absolute deviation of 5 is from the mean of the data set is 28.
