(Enter your answers to one decimal place.) 147 153 170 172 185 181 182 185 181 170 181 167 153 145

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean: 169.4

Median: 171

Mode: 181

Step-by-step explanation:

I first sorted the numbers by value, least to greatest.

145 147 153 153 167 170 170 172 181 181 181 182 185 185

We can see that 181 occurs the most, 3 times, so it's the mode.

The median of this set will be the middle number(s).

When we take away 6 numbers from both sides we are left with 170 and 172, and the mean of these two numbers is 171. So the median is 171.

We can add all the numbers and divide by 14 to get the mean.

[tex]147+153+170+172+185+181+182+185+181+170+181+167+153+145=2372\\\\2372\div14\approx169.4[/tex]

Residents of four cities are able to vote in an upcoming regional election. A newspaper recently conducted a survey to gauge support for each of the two candidates. The results of the poll are shown in the two-way frequency table below.

Answers

Answer:

3 only

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the statement, "The two cities with the highest number of respondents, both show more support for candidate A." In the total column, the two highest number of respondents are 471 and 463 which represent Carsonville and Appleton. For Carsonville, the number of respondents who prefer candidate A is 205, which is less than the number of respondents who prefer candidate B, 266. Therefore, this statement is not true.

Consider the statement, "The number of people who support candidate B in Carsonville is twice the number of people who support candidate B in New Thomas." In the table, the number of people who support candidate B in Carsonville is observed to be 266 and the number of people who support candidate B in New Thomas is 138. Since 266 is not equal to twice 138, this statement is not true.

Consider the statement, "More residents of Center City responded to the poll than the number who responded from New Thomas." In the total column, it can be observed that 350 people responded to the poll in Center City and 318 people responded to the poll in New Thomas. Since, 350 is greater than 318, this statement is true.

Consider the statement, "Overall, more residents support candidate A than candidate B." The bottom row of the table represents the total number of responses for each candidate. The number of people supporting candidate A is 797, which is less than the number of people supporting candidate B, 805. So, this statement is not true.

Therefore, the true statement is III only.

More residents of the center city responded to the pole than the number who responded from New Thomas, which is the only correct option. Option B. is correct.


Data given in the table shows the data of elections between two candidates among the different cities.

 

What is Statistic?

Statistics is the study of mathematics that deals with relations between comprehensive data.


I.The two cities with the highest number of respondents both show more support for candidate A. This statement is false because carsonville is the second highest support for A but it does not show more support for candidate A.

II.The number of people who support candidate B in Carsonville is twice the number of people who support candidate B in New Thomas. It is false

III. More residents of Center City responded to the pole than the number who responded from New Thomas. It is true.

IV. Overall, more residents support candidate A than candidate B. it is also false.

Thus, more residents of the center city responded to the pole than the number who responded from New Thomas, which is the only correct option. Option B. is correct.

what is 76.32 divided by 24.98 using compatible numbers to estimate each quotient?

Answers

Answer:

Approximately 3.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Using "compatible numbers" we can simply round these numbers to integer values.  Let's make 76.32 => 76 and 24.98 => 25

So from here let's do 76/25 to get 3 R 1/25

1/25 as a decimal is .04

So far, we have 3.04.  Going back to Look at our decimals, .32 and .98, there is a larger difference in our down rounding with the .32 than the up rounding from our .98.  So we should consider an extra value in our decimal.

Considering our whole number of 3.0, we can assume that our rounding will have an increase of about .01 or .015 in error.

Thus our number will be 3.04 + .01.

Making our quotient approximately 3.05.

Answer:

75°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the size of x°

BCFE has four sides so the sum of its angles sizes is 360°.

● CBE + 110 + 110 + CFE = 360

CFE is equal to 65° since they have the same vertex

● CBE + 220 + 65 = 360

● CBE + 285 = 360

● CBE = 360-285

● CBE = 75

CBE and x° have the same size since they share the same vertex.so:

● x° = 75°

Answer:

75°

Step-by-step explanation:

CBE = x (vertically opposite angles are equal)

CFR = 65° (vertically opposite angles are equal)

C+F+E+B= 360 (angles in a quadrilateral sum up to 360°)

Answer:

Solution : ( - 5, 5π / 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four cases to consider here, the first two with respect to r > 0, the second two with respect to r < 0. r is the directed distance from the pole, and theta is the directed angle from the positive x - axis. Let's start by listing coordinates when r is positive. r here is 5 units from the positive x - axis.

( 5, θ ) theta here is between 30 and 60 degrees, so we can say it's about 45 degrees.

( 5, θ ) theta here is the remaining negative side of 360 - 45 = 315. That would make it - 315.

And when r is negative ( r < 0 ),

( - 5, θ ) now the point is going to lie on the ray pointing in the opposite direction of the terminal side of theta. This will be 45 degrees more than 180, or 180 + 45 = 225 degrees.

Right away we know that ( - 5, 225° ) is our solution, we don't have to consider the second case. Converting 225 to radians in terms of π will be 5π / 4 radians, giving us a solution of ( - 5, 5π / 4 ) or option b.

e. Use the results of part (c) to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of adult Americans who believe that televisions are a necessity.

Answers

Answer:

a)0.519

b)requirements for constructing a confidence interval about p are satisfied.

c)0.488, and 0.550

d)yes this is because there is no possibility

that the true proportion is not captured in the confidence interval.

e)

0.450, 0.512

Step-by-step explanation:

a)The point estimate for the population proportion of adult Americans who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without can be calculated as

521 of that adult that indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without/1003 adults surveyed,

p = 521/1003

= 0.519.

b)

np(1-p)=1003×(0.519)×(1-0.519)

=250.39≥10 and the sample size is less than 5% of the population

therefore, requirements for constructing a confidence interval about p are satisfied.

c) we were given 95% confidence,

Then α=(1-0.95)

= 0.05

From the Z-tables,we can get the critical value is Z , which is (0.05/2) = Z (0.025) = 1.96

confidence interval can the be calculated using the formula below

- p ± Z*√ p (1 – p)/n

=0.519 ± 1.96√0.519×(1 – 0.519)/(1003)

= 0.519 ± 1.96×0.0158

0.519 ± 0.031

= 0.488, and 0.550

d) yes this is because there is no possibility

that the true proportion is not captured in the confidence interval.

e)the sample size can be calculated as

P=x/n

=(1003-521)/1003

=0.481

But we're given 95% confidence interval

Then

α=(1-0.95)=

0.05

From the Z-tables,we can get the critical value is Z , which is (0.05/2) = Z (0.025) = 1.96

Then convidence interval=

- p ± Z*√ p (1 – p)/n

=0.481 ± 1.96√0.481×(1 – 0.481)/(1003)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\text{Critical Region} = z<-1.96\ \text{or}\ z>1.96[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A test for the difference between two population means is to be performed.

As the population variances are known, the z-test will be used.

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ vs. Hₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ

Assume that the significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.

The critical region can be defined as follows:

The critical value of z for α = 0.05 is:

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025} =-1.96\\\\z_{1-\alpha/2}=z_{1-0.05/2}=z_{0.975} =1.96[/tex]

Where p is the probability or proportion of success q=1-p and n is the number of trials or samples.

Now Margin of Error is given by

ME = z∝/2 * Standard Error

The confidence level is used to estimate the value of alpha.

For example 90% confidence means alpha= 1-0.9= 0.1 and alpha by 2 would be 0.05 . So the value for alpha by 2 would be 1.96

Answer:

x = -5 or x = i sqrt(3) or x = -i sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^3 + 5 x^2 + 3 x + 15 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x + 5) (x^2 + 3) = 0

Split into two equations:

x + 5 = 0 or x^2 + 3 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides:

x = -5 or x^2 + 3 = 0

x = (0 ± sqrt(0^2 - 4×3))/2 = ( ± sqrt(-12))/2:

x = -5 or x = sqrt(-12)/2 or x = (-sqrt(-12))/2

sqrt(-12) = sqrt(-1) sqrt(12) = i sqrt(12):

x = -5 or x = (i sqrt(12))/2 or x = (-i sqrt(12))/2

sqrt(12) = sqrt(4×3) = sqrt(2^2×3) = 2sqrt(3):

x = -5 or x = (i×2 sqrt(3))/2 or x = (-i×2 sqrt(3))/2

(2 i sqrt(3))/2 = i sqrt(3):

x = -5 or x = i sqrt(3) or x = (-2 i sqrt(3))/2

(2 (-i sqrt(3)))/2 = -i sqrt(3):

explanation:

C. is the only answer option that does NOT have 0 as a root, which is impossible, because there is a constant term, which means that all roots are non-zero. In other words, we cannot extract x as a factor.

Complete answer:

All odd degree polynomials have at least one real root.

By the real roots theorem, we know that

if there is a real root, it must be of the form [tex]\pm[/tex]p/q where q is any of the factors of the leading coefficient (1 in this case) and p is any factor of the constant term d (15 in this case).

Values of [tex]\pm[/tex]p/q are

On trial and error, using the factor theorem, we see that

f(-5) = 0, therefore -5 is a real root.  By long division, we have a quotient of x^2+3 = 0, which gives readily the remaining (complex) roots of +/- sqrt(5) i

The answer is {-5, +/- sqrt(5) i}, or again,

60/220

Step-by-step explanation:

we use combination,

[tex] (\frac{5}{1} ) \times ( \frac{4}{1} ) \times ( \frac{3}{1} )[/tex]

[tex]5 \times 4 \times 3 = 60[/tex]

then, all divided by,

[tex] (\frac{12}{3}) = 220 [/tex]

[tex]60 \div 220[/tex]

The probability of the first piece being milk chocolate, the second being white chocolate, and the third being milk chocolate is 0.06.

What is Probability?

The probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}[/tex]

The sample contains five milk chocolates, three dark chocolates, and four white chocolates. Therefore, the probability that the first piece is milk chocolate is

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{\text{Number of Milk choclates}}{\text{Total number of choclates}}[/tex]

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{5}{12}[/tex]

Now, since the chocolate is been eaten the sample size will reduce from 12 chocolates in total to 11 chocolates in total (four milk chocolates, three dark chocolates, and four white chocolates). Therefore, the probability of the second piece being white chocolate is

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{\text{Number of White choclates}}{\text{Total number of choclates}}[/tex]

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{4}{11}[/tex]

Now, as the chocolate is been eaten the sample size will reduce from 11 chocolates in total to 10 chocolates in total (four milk chocolates, three dark chocolates, and three white chocolates). Therefore, the probability of the third piece being milk chocolate is

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{\text{Number of Milk choclates}}{\text{Total number of choclates}}[/tex]

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{4}{10}[/tex]

Thus, the probability of the first piece being milk chocolate, the second being white chocolate, and the third being milk chocolate is

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{5}{12}\times \dfrac{4}{11} \times \dfrac{4}{10} = \dfrac{80}{1320} = 0.06[/tex]

Hence, the probability of the first piece being milk chocolate, the second being white chocolate, and the third being milk chocolate is 0.06.

END OF THE IPOD ERA

players are replacing the iPod, along with the category of device it helped to create. Sales of the iPod worldwide from 2007

through 2011 (in millions) were

approximately

N(0= -2.65t2 + 13.13t+ 39.9 (0 < t< 4)

in year t, where t= 0 corresponds to 2007. Show that the worldwide sales of the iPod peaked sometime in 2009. What was the approximate largest number of iPods sold worldwide from 2007 through 2011?

a. Show that the worldwide sales of the iPod peaked sometime in 2009

N(t) = -2.65t² + 13.13t + 39.9

To find the maximum value of N(t), we find dN(t)/dt and equate it to zero

dN(t)/dt = d[-2.65t² + 13.13t + 39.9]/dt

dN(t)/dt = -5.3t + 13.13 = 0

-5.3t = - 13.13

t = -13.13/(-5.3)

t = 2.477

t ≅ 2.48

d²N(t)/dt² =d[-5.3t + 13.13]/dt = -5.3 < 0. So, t = 2.48 is a maximum point

Since t = 2 is 2009 and t = 3 is 2010, t = 2.48 will be a period within 2009.

b. What was the approximate largest number of iPods sold worldwide from 2007 through 2011?

The approximate largest number of ipods sold is when t = 2.48

N(2.48) = -2.65(2.48)² + 13.13(2.48) + 39.9

N(2.48) = -16.29856 + 32.5624 + 39.9

N(2.48) = 56.16384

N(2.48) ≅ 56.16 million

The equation of a circle centered at the origin with a radius of unit length is x2 + y2 = 1. This equation changes if the center of the circle is not located at the origin or the radius is not of unit length.

Answers

Answer:

The equation for a unit radius circle, centered at the origin is:

x^2 + y^2 = 1

Now, if we want to move it horizontally, you can recall to the horizontal translations:

f(x) -----> f(x - a)

Moves the graph to the right by "a" units.

A vertical translation is similar.

Then, if we want a circle centered in the point (a, b) we have:

(x - a)^2  + (y - b)^2 = 1.

Now, if you want to change the radius, we can actually write the unit circle as:

x^2 + y^2 = 1^2

Where if we set x = 0, 1 = y, this is our radius

So if we have:

x^2 + y^2 = R^2

And we set the value of x = 0, then R = y.

So our radius is R.

Then:

"A circle of radius R, centered in the point (a, b) is written as:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

Suppose we want to test the color distribution claim on the M&M’s website that a bag of plain M&M’s is made up of 10% blue, 10% orange, 10% green, 20% red, 20% yellow, and 30% brown. We select a sample of 400 plain M&M’s and found the following: Color Blue Orange Green Red Yellow Brown Frequency 30 48 55 66 70 131
Is there evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website? Use =0.05

Answers

Answer:

Calculated χ² = 13.425

χ² (5,0.025) >14.45 and χ²(5,0.975) <1.24

The given data does not fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude there is no evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website.

Step-by-step explanation:

Color             Blue      Orange     Green    Red   Yellow    Brown

Frequency     30         48              55        66         70         131

Expected      40           40              40        80          80        120

H0:  The bag of plain M&Ms is made up of 10% blue, 10% orange, 10% green, 20% red, 20% yellow, and 30% brown

Ha: The color distribution is not equal to  the distribution stated in the null hypothesis.

Calculate chi square

χ² = (30-40)² /40 + (48-40)²/40 + (55-40)²/40 + (66-80)²/80 + (70-80)²/80 + (131-120)²/120

χ² = 2.5 + 1.6 + 5.625 + 2.45 + 1.25= 13.425

The critical region for χ²  for 5 degrees of freedom with ∝= 0.05 is

χ² (5,0.025) >14.45 and χ²(5,0.975) <1.24

The given data does not fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude there is no evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website.

If Q(x)=x2−6x−2, find Q(−4).

Answers

Answer:

Q(-4) = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Q(x)=x² − 6x − 2

To find Q(−4) substitute the value of x which is - 4 into Q(x)

That's

Q(-4) = (-4)² - 6(-4) - 2

Q(-4) = 16 + 24 - 2

We have the final answer as

Q(-4) = 38

Hope this helps you
