Answer 1

Answer:

D. We are 98% confident that the proportion of adults in the United States, aged 18 or older, who are obese is between 0.2515 and 0.2805.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

26.6% of 5000 people reported a Body Mass Index (BMl) greater than 30

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.266, n = 5000[/tex]

98% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.266 - 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.266*0.734}{5000}} = 0.2515[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.266 + 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.266*0.734}{5000}} = 0.2805[/tex]

The correct interpreation is that we are 98% confident that the proportion of adults in the United States, aged 18 or older, who are obese is between 0.2515 and 0.2805, which means that the correct answer is given by option D.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 5xy + 6y² = x² - 3xy - 2xy + 6y²

                      = x(x  - 3y) - 2y(x - 3y)

                      = (x - 3y)(x -2y)

x² - 4xy + 3y² = x² -xy - 3xy + 3y²

                      = x(x - y) - 3y(x - y)

                      = (x - y)(x - 3y)

x² - 3xy + 2y² = x² - xy - 2xy + 2y²

                      = x(x - y) - 2y(x - y)

                     = (x - y)(x - 2y)

Least common denominator = (x-y)(x - 2y)(x - 3y)

The object below is made with six identical cubes. Each cube edge is 3 inches long.
As
3 in.
What is the surface area of the object in square inches?

Answers

Answer:

306 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

All surfaces of the cubes are exposed to the outside except 2 ( where 2 of the cubes join).

6 separate cubes have 6 * 6 faces exposed so this object has 36 - 2 = 34 surfaces exposed.

Each face of one cube = 3*3 = 9 in^2.

Therefore the surface area =  9 * 34 = 306 in^2.

solve the equation 4^y = 8​

Answers

Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

4 = 2² and 8 = 2³ , then

[tex]4^{y}[/tex] = 8, can be written

[tex](2^2)^{y}[/tex] = 2³

[tex]2^{2y}[/tex] = 2³

Since bases on both sides are equal, both 2, then equate exponents

2y = 3 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

y = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] {4}^{y} = 8[/tex]

Take the logarithm of both sides and you will get

[tex] \log {4}^{y} = y \log4 = \log8[/tex]

or

Answers

Answer:

The measure of angle R is 112 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given markings, we can see that we have an isosceles triangle

so RT is also 3x-2

Mathematically, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180:

Thus;

9x + 4 + (3x-2) + (3x-2) = 180

9x + 3x +3x + 4-2-2 = 180

15x = 180

x = 180/15

x = 12

Recall; Angle R is 9x + 4

= 9(12) + 4 = 108 + 4 = 112

8a+12c=4260. Equation 1

a + c= 470  Equation 2

a=470-c. Isolate a from equation 2

8(470-c)+12c=4260 sub value of a from equation 2 into equation 1

3760-8c+12c=4260

[tex]\sigma = 70.69[/tex]

The confidence interval of standard deviation is: [tex]53.76[/tex] to [tex]103.25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n =20[/tex]

See attachment for the formatted data

Solving (a): The mean

This is calculated as:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{242.87 +212.00 +260.93 +284.08 +194.19 +139.16 +260.76 +436.72 +355.36 +.....+250.61}{20}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{5203.23}{20}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 260.1615[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 260.16[/tex]

Solving (b): The standard deviation

This is calculated as:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n-1}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{(242.87 - 260.1615)^2 +(212.00- 260.1615)^2+(260.93- 260.1615)^2+(284.08- 260.1615)^2+.....+(250.61- 260.1615)^2}{20 - 1}}[/tex][tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{94938.80}{19}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{4996.78}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 70.69[/tex] --- approximated

Solving (c): 95% confidence interval of standard deviation

We have:

[tex]c =0.95[/tex]

So:

[tex]\alpha = 1 -c[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 1 -0.95[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Calculate the degree of freedom (df)

[tex]df = n -1[/tex]

[tex]df = 20 -1[/tex]

[tex]df = 19[/tex]

Determine the critical value at row [tex]df = 19[/tex] and columns [tex]\frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex] and [tex]1 -\frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]X^2_{0.025} = 32.852[/tex] ---- at [tex]\frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex]

[tex]X^2_{0.975} = 8.907[/tex] --- at [tex]1 -\frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex]

So, the confidence interval of the standard deviation is:

[tex]\sigma * \sqrt{\frac{n - 1}{X^2_{\alpha/2} }[/tex] to [tex]\sigma * \sqrt{\frac{n - 1}{X^2_{1 -\alpha/2} }[/tex]

[tex]70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{20 - 1}{32.852}[/tex] to [tex]70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{20 - 1}{8.907}[/tex]

[tex]70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{19}{32.852}[/tex] to [tex]70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{19}{8.907}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the theorem, the angle measuring 110 is one-half the measure of the arc it intercepts. That means that the major arc (this arc of which I'm speaking) measures 110 * 2 = 220.

Since the outside of a circle, regardless of how big or small the circle is, has a degree measure of 360, then x = 360 - 220 so

x = 140°

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.
y=-16x^2+165x+69

Answers

Answer:

The rocket hits the gorund after approximately 10.71 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the rocket y in feet x seconds after launch is given by the equation:

[tex]y=-16x^2+165x+69[/tex]

And we want to find the time in which the rocket will hit the ground.

When it hits the ground, its height above ground will be 0. Hence, we can let y = 0 and solve for x:

[tex]0=-16x^2+165x+69[/tex]

We can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = -16, b = 165, and c = 69.

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-165\pm\sqrt{(165)^2-4(-16)(69)}}{2(-16)}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-165\pm\sqrt{31641}}{-32}=\frac{165\pm\sqrt{31641}}{32}[/tex]

Hence, our solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x_1=\frac{165+\sqrt{31641}}{32}\approx 10.71\text{ or } x_2=\frac{165-\sqrt{31641}}{32}\approx-0.40[/tex]

Since time cannot be negative, we can ignore the first answer.

So, the rocket hits the gorund after approximately 10.71 seconds.

d. No because n·(1 - [tex]\hat p[/tex]) = 8.96 is less than 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Question options;

a. Yes because the sample sizes of both groups are greater than 5

b. Yes, because in both cases n·[tex]\hat p[/tex] > 10

c. Yes, because we know that the population is evenly distributed

d. No, because the n·(1 - [tex]\hat p[/tex]) is less than 10

Explanation;

The given data are;

The number of men in the sample of men, n₁ = 41

The proportion of men who dislike anchovies, [tex]\hat p_1[/tex] = 0.67

The number of women in the sample of women, n₂ = 56

The proportion of men who dislike anchovies, [tex]\hat p_2[/tex] = 0.84

The assumptions for an analysis of the difference between means using a T-test are;

1) The data should be from a random sample of the population

2) The variables should be approximately normal (n·[tex]\hat p[/tex] ≥ 10, and n·(1 - [tex]\hat p[/tex]) ≥ 10)

3) The scale of the data is a continuous ordinance scale

4) The sample size should be large

5) The sample standard deviations should be approximately equal

From the requirement for normality, we have;

For the sample of men, n₁·[tex]\hat p[/tex]₁  = 41 × 0.67 = 24.47 > 10

n₁·(1 - [tex]\hat p[/tex]₁) = 41 × (1 - 0.67) = 13.53 > 10

For the sample of women, n₂·[tex]\hat p[/tex]₂  = 56 × 0.84 = 47.04 > 10

n₂·(1 - [tex]\hat p[/tex]₂) = 56 × (1 - 0.84) = 8.96 < 10

Therefore, the for n₂·(1 - [tex]\hat p[/tex]₂), the sample does not meet the requirement for normality

The correct option is d. No because n₂·(1 - [tex]\hat p[/tex]₂) = 8.96 is less than 10

Let z be inversely proportional to the cube root of y. When y =.064, z =3
a) Find the constant of proportionality k.
b) Find the value of z when y = 0.125.​

Answers

Given:

z be inversely proportional to the cube root of y.

When y =0.064, then z =3.

To find:

a) The constant of proportionality k.

b) The value of z when y = 0.125.​

Solution:

a) It is given that, z be inversely proportional to the cube root of y.

[tex]z\propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt[3]{y}}[/tex]

[tex]z=k\dfrac{1}{\sqrt[3]{y}}[/tex]              ...(i)

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

We have, z=3 when y=0.064. Putting these values in (i), we get

[tex]3=k\dfrac{1}{\sqrt[3]{0.064}}[/tex]

[tex]3=k\dfrac{1}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]3\times 0.4=k[/tex]

[tex]1.2=k[/tex]

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is [tex]k=1.2[/tex].

b) From part (a), we have [tex]k=1.2[/tex].

Substituting [tex]k=1.2[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]z=1.2\dfrac{1}{\sqrt[3]{y}}[/tex]

We need to find the value of z when y = 0.125.​ Putting y=0.125, we get

[tex]z=1.2\dfrac{1}{\sqrt[3]{0.125}}[/tex]

[tex]z=\dfrac{1.2}{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]z=2.4[/tex]

Therefore, the value of z when y = 0.125 is 2.4.

Proportional quantities are either inversely or directly proportional. For the given relation between y and z, we have:

The constant of proportionality k = 1.2, andWhen y = 0.125 , z = 2.4

What is directly proportional and inversely proportional relationship?

Let there are two variables p and q

Then, p and q are said to be directly proportional to each other if

[tex]p = kq[/tex]

where k is some constant number called constant of proportionality.

This directly proportional relationship between p and q is written as

[tex]p \propto q[/tex]  where that middle sign is the sign of proportionality.

In a directly proportional relationship, increasing one variable will increase another.

Now let m and n are two variables.

Then m and n are said to be inversely proportional to each other if

[tex]m = \dfrac{c}{n}[/tex]

or

[tex]n = \dfrac{c}{m}[/tex]

(both are equal)

where c is a constant number called constant of proportionality.

This inversely proportional relationship is denoted by

[tex]m \propto \dfrac{1}{n}\\\\or\\\\n \propto \dfrac{1}{m}[/tex]

As visible, increasing one variable will decrease the other variable if both are inversely proportional.

For the given case, it is given that:

[tex]z \propto \dfrac{1}{^3\sqrt{y}}[/tex]

Let the constant of proportionality be k, then we have:

[tex]z = \dfrac{k}{^3\sqrt{y}}[/tex]

It is given that when y = 0.064, z = 3, thus, putting these value in equation obtained above, we get:

[tex]k = \: \: ^3\sqrt{y} \times z = (0.064)^{1/3} \times (3) = 0.4 \times 3 = 1.2[/tex]

Thus,  the constant of proportionality k is 1.2. And the relation between z and y is:

[tex]z = \dfrac{1.2}{^3\sqrt{y}}[/tex]

Putting value y = 0.0125, we get:

[tex]z = \dfrac{1.2}{^3\sqrt{y}}\\\\z = \dfrac{1.2}{(0.125)^{1/3} } = \dfrac{1.2}{0.5} = 2.4[/tex]

Thus, for the given relation between y and z, we have:

The constant of proportionality k = 1.2, andWhen y = 0.125 , z = 2.4
