In recent years, the interest rates on home mortgages have declined to less than 6%. However, a
recent study shows that the rate charged on credit card debt is more than 14%. A sample of 10 credit
cards showed that the mean rate charged is 15.64% with a standard deviation of 1.561%. At 1% level
of significance, is it reasonable to conclude the mean rate charged is greater than 14%?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes it is reasonable to conclude the mean rate charged is greater than 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  population mean is  [tex]\mu = 0.14[/tex]

    The sample size is  [tex]n = 10[/tex]

    The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 0.1564[/tex]

     The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 0.01561[/tex]

     The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

The null hypothesis is    [tex]H_o: \mu = 0.14[/tex]

The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu > 0.14[/tex]

 Generally the test statistic is mathematically represented as

              [tex]t = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]t = \frac{ 0.1564 - 0.14 }{ \frac{0.01561 }{\sqrt{10} } }[/tex]

              [tex]t = 3.322[/tex]

Now the p-value obtained from the z-table is

        [tex]p-value = P(t > 3.322) = 0.00044687[/tex]

Since the [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] then we reject the null hypothesis, hence we can conclude that  the mean rate charged is greater than 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate integral _C x ds  where C is

a. the straight line segment x = t, y = t/2, from (0, 0) to (12, 6)

i . e

[tex]\int \limits _c \ x \ ds[/tex]

where;

x = t   , y = t/2

the derivative of x with respect to t is:

[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt}= 1[/tex]

the derivative of y with respect to t is:

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dt}= \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

and t varies from 0 to 12.

we all know that:

[tex]ds=\sqrt{ (\dfrac{dx}{dt})^2 + ( \dfrac{dy}{dt} )^2}} \ \ dt[/tex]

[tex]\int \limits _c \ x \ ds = \int \limits ^{12}_{t=0} \ t \ \sqrt{1+(\dfrac{1}{2})^2} \ dt[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{4}\times 144[/tex]

= [tex]\mathbf{36 \sqrt{5}}[/tex]

b. the parabolic curve x = t, y = 3t^2, from (0, 0) to (2, 12)

Given that:

x = t  ; y = 3t²

the derivative of  x with respect to t is:

[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt}= 1[/tex]

the derivative of y with respect to t is:

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 6t[/tex]

[tex]ds = \sqrt{1+36 \ t^2} \ dt[/tex]

Hence; the  integral _C x ds is:

[tex]\int \limits _c \ x \ ds = \int \limits _0 \ t \ \sqrt{1+36 \ t^2} \ dt[/tex]

Let consider u to be equal to  1 + 36t²

1 + 36t² = u

Then, the differential of t with respect to u is :

76 tdt = du

[tex]tdt = \dfrac{du}{76}[/tex]

The upper limit of the integral is = 1 + 36× 2² = 1 + 36×4= 145

Thus;

99 litres of gasoline oil is poured into a cylindrical drum of 60cm in diameter. How deep is the oil in the drum? ​

Answers

Answer:

  35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by ...

  V = πr²h

We want to find h for the given volume and diameter. First, we must convert the given values to compatible units.

  1 L = 1000 cm³, so 99 L = 99,000 cm³

  60 cm diameter = 2 × 30 cm radius

So, we have ...

  99,000 cm³ = π(30 cm)²h

  99,000/(900π) cm = h ≈ 35.01 cm

The oil is 35 cm deep in the drum.

A fair die is tossed once, what is the probability of obtaining neither 5 nor 2?​

Answers

Answer:

4/6 or 66.666...%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the probability of obtaining neither a 5 nor a 2 you find how many times they occur and add them together in this case 5 occurs once and 2 also occurs once out of 6 numbers so 1/6 + 1/6 equals 2/6, you now know that 4/6 of them won't be a 5 nor a 2 and because it is a fair die the likelihood of it falling on a number is the same for all sides so the answer is 4/6 or 66.67%.

They count through 79 randomly selected bins from the many recycle paper bins that are emptied every month and find that the average number of sheets of paper in the bins is 62.4 sheets. They also find that the standard deviation of their sample is 9.86 sheets. What is the value of the test-statistic for this scenario

Answers

Answer:

The test statistic is [tex]t = 2.79[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population mean is [tex]\mu = 59.3[/tex]

    The sample size is  [tex]n = 79[/tex]

    The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 62.4[/tex]

    The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 9.86[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

            [tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]t = \frac{ 62.2 - 59.3 }{ \frac{ 9.86}{ \sqrt{ 79} } }[/tex]

A raffle offers one $8000.00 prize, one $4000.00 prize, and five $1600.00 prizes. There are 5000 tickets sold at $5 each. Find the expectation if a person buys one ticket.

Answers

Answer:

The expectation is  [tex]E(1 )= -\$ 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The first offer is  [tex]x_1 = \$ 8000[/tex]

     The second offer is  [tex]x_2 = \$ 4000[/tex]

      The third offer is  [tex]\$ 1600[/tex]

      The number of tickets is  [tex]n = 5000[/tex]

      The  price of each ticket is  [tex]p= \$ 5[/tex]

Generally expectation is mathematically represented as

             [tex]E(x)=\sum x * P(X = x )[/tex]

     [tex]P(X = x_1 ) = \frac{1}{5000}[/tex]    given that they just offer one

    [tex]P(X = x_1 ) = 0.0002[/tex]    

 Now  

     [tex]P(X = x_2 ) = \frac{1}{5000}[/tex]    given that they just offer one

     [tex]P(X = x_2 ) = 0.0002[/tex]    

 Now  

      [tex]P(X = x_3 ) = \frac{5}{5000}[/tex]    given that they offer five

       [tex]P(X = x_3 ) = 0.001[/tex]

Hence the  expectation is evaluated as

       [tex]E(x)=8000 * 0.0002 + 4000 * 0.0002 + 1600 * 0.001[/tex]

      [tex]E(x)=\$ 4[/tex]

Now given that the price for a ticket is  [tex]\$ 5[/tex]

The actual expectation when price of ticket has been removed is

c)Predict the Advance Mathematics mark of a student who scores 30 of of 100 in English.
d)calculate the correlation using the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient Formula
e) Determine the strength of the correlation

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Enter the data in an Excel sheet.

(a)

Go to Insert → Chart → Scatter.

Select the first type of Scatter chart.

The scatter plot is attached below.

(b)

The scatter plot with the line of best fit is attached below.

The line of best fit is:

[tex]y=-0.8046x+103.56[/tex]

(c)

Compute the value of x for y = 30 as follows:

[tex]y=-0.8046x+103.56[/tex]

[tex]30=-0.8046x+103.56\\\\0.8046x=103.56-30\\\\x=\frac{73.56}{0.8046}\\\\x\approx 91.42[/tex]

Thus, the Advance Mathematics mark of a student who scores 30 out of 100 in English is 91.42.

(d)

The Pearson's Correlation Coefficient is:

[tex]r=\frac{n\cdot \sum XY-\sum X\cdot \sum Y}{\sqrt{[n\cdot \sum X^{2}-(\sum X)^{2}][n\cdot \sum Y^{2}-(\sum Y)^{2}]}}[/tex]

  [tex]=\frac{14\cdot 44010-835\cdot 778}{\sqrt{[14\cdot52775-(825)^{2}][14\cdot 47094-(778)^{2}]}}\\\\= -0.7062\\\\\approx -0.71[/tex]

Thus, the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient is -0.71.

(e)

A correlation coefficient between ± 0.50 and ±1.00 is considered as a strong correlation.

The correlation between Advanced Mathematics and English results is -0.71.

This implies that there is a strong negative correlation.

Answer:

Surface area of the box = 168 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of cardboard needed = Surface area of the box

Since the given box is in the shape of a triangular prism,

Surface area of the prism = 2(surface area of the triangular bases) + Area of the three rectangular lateral sides

Surface area of the triangular base = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{height})[/tex]

                                                           = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(6)(4)[/tex]

                                                           = 12 cm²

Surface area of the rectangular side with the dimensions of (6cm × 9cm),

= Length × width

= 6 × 9

= 54 cm²

Area of the rectangle with the dimensions (9cm × 5cm),

= 9 × 5

= 45 cm²

Area of the rectangle with the dimensions (9cm × 5cm),

= 9 × 5

= 45 cm²

Surface area of the prism = 2(12) + 54 + 45 + 45

                                           = 24 + 54 + 90

According to the local union president, the mean gross income of plumbers in the Salt Lake City area follows a normal distribution with a mean of $48,000 and a population standard deviation of $2,000. A recent investigative reporter for KYAK TV found, for a sample of 49 plumbers, the mean gross income was $47,600. At the 0.05 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude that the mean income is not equal to $47,600? Determine the p value. State the Null and Alternate hypothesis: State the test statistic: State the Decision Rule: Show the calculation: What is the interpretation of the sample data? Show the P value

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

population mean [tex]\mu[/tex] = 47600

population standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 2000

sample size n = 49

Sample mean [tex]\over\ x[/tex] = 48000

Level of significance = 0.05

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows;

[tex]H_0 : \mu = 47600 \\ \\ H_1 : \mu \neq 47600[/tex]

Using the table of standard normal distribution, the value of z that corresponds to the two-tailed probability 0.05 is 1.96. Thus, we will reject the null hypothesis if the value of the test statistics is less than -1.96 or more than 1.96.

The test statistics can be calculated by using the formula:

[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline X - \mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{ \sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z= \dfrac{ 48000-47600 }{\dfrac{2000}{ \sqrt{49}}}[/tex]

[tex]z= \dfrac{400 }{\dfrac{2000}{ 7}}[/tex]

[tex]z= 1.4[/tex]

Conclusion:

Since 1.4 is lesser  than 1.96 , we fail to reject the null hypothesis and  that there is insufficient information to conclude that the   mean gross income is not equal to $47600

The P-value is being calculate as follows:

P -value = 2P(Z>1.4)

P -value =  2 (1 - P(Z< 1.4)

P-value = 2 ( 1 - 0.91924)

P -value = 2 (0.08076 )

P -value = 0.16152

Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 450,000 to 900 in 30 hours at this rate of decay how many bacteria will there be in 13 hours

Answers

Answer:

30,455

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay

y = a(1 - b)^x

y = final amount

a = initial amount

b = rate of decay

x = time

We are looking for the rate of decay, b.

900 = 450000(1 - b)^30

1 = 500(1 - b)^30

(1 - b)^30 = 0.002

1 - b = 0.002^(1/30)

1 - b = 0.81289

b = 0.1871

The equation for our case is

y = 450000(1 - 0.1871)^x

We are looking for the amount in 13 hours, so x = 13.

y = 450000(1 - 0.1871)^13

y = 30,455

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we obtained the following information:

x + 12 ≤ 5 – y .......(1)

5 – y ≤ 2(x – 3) ....... (2)

To know which option is correct, do the following:

From equation 2,

5 – y ≤ 2(x – 3)

Thus, we can say

5 – y = 2(x – 3)

Now, we shall substitute the value of 5 – y into equation 1 as shown below:

x + 12 ≤ 5 – y

5 – y = 2(x – 3)

x + 12 ≤ 2(x – 3)

From the above illustration, we can see that if x + 12 ≤ 5 – y and 5 – y ≤ 2(x – 3), then x + 12 ≤ 2(x – 3) must be true.

Option C gives the correct answer.

Given the sequence 38, 32, 26, 20, 14, ..., find the explicit formula. A. an=44−6n B. an=41−6n C. an=35−6n D. an=43−6n

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence above is an arithmetic sequence

For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence

A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d

where a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

From the question

a = 38

d = 32 - 38 = - 6 or 20 - 26 = - 6

Substitute the values into the above formula

A(n) = 38 + (n - 1)-6

= 38 - 6n + 6

We have the final answer as

A(n) = 44 - 6n

PLEASE MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!

The value of function at x= -1 is f(-1) = 4.

We have the function as

f(x) = 2x² - 3x -1

To find the value of f(-1) when f(x) = 2x² - 3x -1, we substitute x = -1 into the expression:

f(-1) = 2(-1)² - 3(-1) - 1

      = 2(1) + 3 - 1

      = 2 + 3 - 1

      = 4.

Therefore, the value of function at x= -1 is f(-1) = 4.

A normal distribution has a mean of 30 and a variance of 5.Find N such that the probability that the mean of N observations exceeds 30.5 is 1%.​

Answers

Answer:

109

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a chart or calculator to find the z-score corresponding to a probability of 1%.

P(Z > z) = 0.01

P(Z < z) = 0.99

z = 2.33

Now find the sample standard deviation.

z = (x − μ) / s

2.33 = (30.5 − 30) / s

s = 0.215

Now find the sample size.

s = σ / √n

s² = σ² / n

0.215² = 5 / n

n = 109
