Answer:
0.0284Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating the Margin of error of a dataset is expressed as;
Margin of error = [tex]Z*\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\\\[/tex] where;
Z is the z-score of 95% confidence interval = 1.96
p is the sample proportion/mean = 0.75
n is the sample size = total number of people = 1000
Note that when the confidence interval is not given, it is always safe to use 95% confidence.
Substituting this values into the formula we have;
[tex]ME = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{1000} } \\\\ME = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.7(0.3)}{1000} } \\\\ME = 1.96*\sqrt{0.00021} } \\\\ME = 1.96*0.01449\\\\ME = 0.0284[/tex]
Hence the margin error for the dataset is 0.0284

Answer:
B = 48.7° , C = 61.3° , b = 12Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find B we must first angle C
To find angle C we use the sine rule
That's
[tex] \frac{ |a| }{ \sin(A) } = \frac{ |c| }{ \sin(C) } [/tex]
From the question
a = 15
A = 70°
c = 14
So we have
[tex] \frac{15}{ \sin(70) } = \frac{14}{ \sin(C) } [/tex]
[tex] \sin(C) = \frac{14 \sin(7 0 ) }{15} [/tex]
[tex]C = \sin^{ - 1} ( \frac{14 \sin(70) }{15} ) [/tex]
C = 61.288
C = 61.3° to the nearest tenthSince we've found C we can use it to find B.
Angles in a triangle add up to 180°
To find B add A and C and subtract it from 180°
That's
A + B + C = 180
B = 180 - A - C
B = 180 - 70 - 61.3
B = 48.7° to the nearest tenthTo find b we can use the sine rule
That's
[tex] \frac{ |a| }{ \sin(A) } = \frac{ |a| }{ \sin(B) } [/tex]
[tex] \frac{15}{ \sin(70) } = \frac{ |b| }{ \sin(48.7) } [/tex]
[tex] |b| = \frac{15 \sin(48.7) }{ \sin(70) } [/tex]
b = 11.9921
b = 12.0 to the nearest tenthHope this helps you

What is the value of the intercept of the regression line, b, rounded to one decimal place?
Answer:
b = - 3.7
Step-by-step explanation:
here are the data values:
x y XY X²
14 46 644 196
15 49 735 225
16 37 592 256
17 42 714 289

21 23 483 441
22 20 440 484
23 15 345 529
24 12 288 576
now we are required to find the summation (total) of all values of X, Y, XY and X².
∑X = 209
∑Y = 337
∑XY = 5996
∑X² = 4081
The formular for finding b is given as:
b = n∑XY - (X)(Y) / n∑X² - (∑X)²
= 11(5996) - (209)(337) / 11(4081) - (209)²
= 65956 - 70433 / 44891 - 43681
= -4477/ 1210
= -3.7
The question asked us to find the value of b but we can go further to find the equation of the regression line:
a = ∑Y - b∑X / n
= 337 - (-3.7)(209)/ 11
=1110.3/11
= 100.94
the equation is:
Y = 100.94 - 3.7X

The exact distance is
(Simplify your answer. Type an exact ans
Answer: sqrt(27.2) =approx 5.215
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between 2 points can be calculated using Phitagor theorem
L= sqrt( (x1-x2)²+(y1-y2)²)
Where x1, y1 are the coordinates of the first point and x2, y2 are the coordinates of the 2-nd point.
L=sqrt((3.1-2.7)²+(0.3-(-4.9))²)= sqrt(0.4²+5.2²)=sqrt(27.2) - this is exact answer.
sqrt(27.2)=5.21536...=approx 5.215

The ground temperatures (°F) were taken from May to November in the vicinity of Furnace Creek. Compute the mean, median, and mode for these ground temperatures. (Enter your answers to one decimal place.) 147 153 170 172 185 181 182 185 181 170 181 167 153 145
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]

What is the rise over run for the slope -11/9
Answer: 11 down and 9 right
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope IS rise over run where the top number of the fraction (numerator) determines the vertical distance --> positive is up, negative is down
and the bottom number of the fraction (denominator) determines the horizontal distance --> positive is right, negative is left.
Given slope = -11/9
the numerator is -11 so the "rise" is DOWN 11 units
the denominator is 9 so the "run" is RIGHT 9 units
(-1, 4) and (-2, 2).

Kelvin wants to know whether he skied without falling more than twice as long as anyone else in his family. His dad tells him that he can check by using the inequality 2f < 223, where f is the time skied in seconds for each person. Plug the values for the time skied by each person into the inequality to find the answer.
Lori 55
Vanessa 265
Devon 172
Celia 112
Arnold 356
Answer:
Kelvin did not skied without falling more than twice as long as anyone else in his family.
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality representing the event where Kelvin skied without falling more than twice as long as anyone else in his family is:
[tex]2f<223[/tex]
Here 223 is the time for Kelvin.
Check for Lori as follows:[tex]2f<223[/tex]
[tex]2\times 55=110<223[/tex]
Kelvin skied without falling more than twice as long as Lori.
Check for Vanessa as follows:[tex]2f<223[/tex]
[tex]2\times 265=530>223[/tex]
Kelvin skied without falling less than twice as long as Vanessa.
Check for Devon as follows:[tex]2f<223[/tex]
[tex]2\times 172=344>223[/tex]
Kelvin skied without falling less than twice as long as Devon.
Check for Celia as follows:[tex]2f<223[/tex]
[tex]2\times 112=224>223[/tex]
Kelvin skied without falling less than twice as long as Celia.
Check for Arnold as follows:[tex]2f<223[/tex]
[tex]2\times 356=712>223[/tex]
Kelvin skied without falling less than twice as long as Arnold.
Thus, Kelvin did not skied without falling more than twice as long as anyone else in his family.
Answer:
Yes, Kevin skied 2x as long as Lori.
Step-by-step explanation:
Kevin's time was 223 seconds; Lori's time was 110 seconds.
110^2 = 220 or 110 multiplied by 2 equals 220 or 110 x 2 = 220 or
110 * 2 = 220
Thus, Kevin indeed, skied twice as long as Lori.
Solve for x: 3(x + 1)= -2(x - 1) + 6.
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 1)= -2(x - 1) + 6.
Distribute
3x+3 = -2x+2+6
Combine like terms
3x+3 = -2x+8
Add 2x to each side
3x+3+2x = 8
5x+3 = 8
Subtract 3 from each side
5x =5
Divide by 5
x =1
Allied Corporation is trying to sell its new machines to Ajax. Allied claims that the machine will pay for itself since the time it takes to produce the product using the new machine is significantly less than the production time using the old machine. To test the claim, independent random samples were taken from both machines. You are given the following results.
New Machine Old Machine
Sample Mean 25 23
Sample Variance 27 7.56
Sample Size 45 36
As the statistical advisor to Ajax, would you recommend purchasing Allied's machine? Explain.
Answer:
z(s) is in the acceptance region. We accept H₀ we did not find a significantly difference in the performance of the two machines therefore we suggest not to buy a new machine
Step-by-step explanation:
We must evaluate the differences of the means of the two machines, to do so, we will assume a CI of 95%, and as the interest is to find out if the new machine has better performance ( machine has a bigger efficiency or the new machine produces more units per unit of time than the old one) the test will be a one tail-test (to the left).
New machine
Sample mean x₁ = 25
Sample variance s₁ = 27
Sample size n₁ = 45
Old machine
Sample mean x₂ = 23
Sample variance s₂ = 7,56
Sample size n₂ = 36
Test Hypothesis:
Null hypothesis H₀ x₂ - x₁ = d = 0
Alternative hypothesis Hₐ x₂ - x₁ < 0
CI = 90 % ⇒ α = 10 % α = 0,1 z(c) = - 1,28
To calculate z(s)
z(s) = ( x₂ - x₁ ) / √s₁² / n₁ + s₂² / n₂
s₁ = 27 ⇒ s₁² = 729
n₁ = 45 ⇒ s₁² / n₁ = 16,2
s₂ = 7,56 ⇒ s₂² = 57,15
n₂ = 36 ⇒ s₂² / n₂ = 1,5876
√s₁² / n₁ + s₂² / n₂ = √ 16,2 + 1.5876 = 4,2175
z(s) = (23 - 25 )/4,2175
z(s) = - 0,4742
Comparing z(s) and z(c)
|z(s)| < | z(c)|
z(s) is in the acceptance region. We accept H₀ we did not find a significantly difference in the performance of the two machines therefore we suggest not to buy a new machine
The very hight dispersion of values s₁ = 27 is evidence of frecuent values quite far from the mean

A researcher measures daily driving distance from college and weekly cost of gas for a group of commuting college students. What kind of correlation is likely to be obtained for these two variables?
Answer:
There is a positive correlation between these two variables.
Step-by-step explanation:
Positive correlation is an association amid two variables in which both variables change in the same direction.
A positive correlation occurs when one variable declines as the other variable declines, or one variable escalates while the other escalates.
As the distance covered by the vehicle increases the amount of gas consumed also increases. Thus, the weekly cost of gas will also increase.
Thus, there is a positive correlation between these two variables.
Use the model to show to help find the sum 0.34 plus 0.49
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The idea to use in solving this problem using the model, is to express the number of shaded boxes in fraction form.
Thus, the blue red shaded boxes has 34 boxes shaded out of 100 boxes. This represents [tex] \frac{34}{100} [/tex]. This will give us 0.34.
The other shaded boxes represents [tex] \frac{49}{100} = 0.49 [/tex].
Using the model, we can solve 0.34 + 0.49.
Add both fractions together.
[tex] \frac{34}{100} + \frac{49}{100} = \frac{34+49}{100} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{83}{100} = 0.83 [/tex]
If f(x)=4x-6 and g(x) vx+2 what is (f*g)(7)
Answer: The value of (f*g)(7) is 66.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given functions: [tex]f(x)= 4x-6\text{ and } g(x)=\sqrt{x+2}[/tex]
Since, product of two functions: [tex](u*v)(x)=u(x)\times v(x)[/tex]
[tex](f*g)(x)=f(x)\times g(x)\\\\=4x-6\times \sqrt{x+2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ (f*g)(x)=(4x-6) \sqrt{x+2}[/tex]
[tex](f*g)(7)=(4(7)-6)\sqrt{7+2}\\\\=(28-6)\sqrt{9}\\\\=22\times 3=66[/tex]
Hence, the value of (f*g)(7) is 66.
Consider a bag of jelly beans that has 30 red, 30 blue, and 30 green jelly beans. a) How many color combinations of 15 beans have at least 6 green beans
Answer:
680
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of red beans = 30
Number of Blue beans = 30
Number of green beans = 30
How many color combinations of 15 beans have at least 6 green beans?
Since at least 6 of the beans must be green,
Then (15 - 6) = 9
Then, the remaining 9 could be either red, blue or green.
Therefore, C(9 + (9 - 1), 3)
C(17, 3) = 17C3
nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)! r!
17C3 = 17! ÷ (17 - 3)! 3!
17C3 = 17! ÷ 14!3!
17C3 = (17 * 16 * 15) / (3 * 2)
17C3 = 4080 / 6
17C3 = 680 ways
Using the combination formula, it is found that there are 17,157,323,000,000,000 color combinations of 15 beans have at least 6 green beans.
The order in which the beans are chosen is not important, hence, the combination formula is used to solve this question.
Combination formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
Th total number of combinations of 15 beans from a set of 30 + 30 + 30 = 90 is:
[tex]C_{90,15} = \frac{90!}{15!75!} = 45795674000000000[/tex]
With less than 6 green, we have:
0 green:
[tex]C_{30,0}C_{60,15} = \frac{60!}{15!45!} = 53194089000000[/tex]
1 green:
[tex]C_{30,1}C_{60,14} = \frac{30!}{1!29!} \times \frac{60!}{14!46!} = 520376960000000[/tex]
2 green:
[tex]C_{30,2}C_{60,13} = \frac{30!}{2!28!} \times \frac{60!}{13!47!} = 2247585600000000[/tex]
3 green:
[tex]C_{30,3}C_{60,12} = \frac{30!}{3!27!} \times \frac{60!}{12!48!} = 5681396900000000[/tex]
4 green:
[tex]C_{30,4}C_{60,11} = \frac{30!}{4!26!} \times \frac{60!}{11!49!} = 9391696900000000[/tex]
5 green:
[tex]C_{30,5}C_{60,10} = \frac{30!}{5!25!} \times \frac{60!}{10!50!} = 10744101000000000[/tex]
Hence, the total for the number of combinations with less than 5 green is:
[tex]53194089000000 + 520376960000000 + 2247585600000000 + 5681396900000000 + 9391696900000000 + 10744101000000000 = 28638351000000000[/tex]
Subtracting the total amount of combinations from the number with less than 5 green, the number of combinations with at least 6 green is:
[tex]T = 45795674000000000 - 28638351000000000 = 17157323000000000[/tex]
There are 17,157,323,000,000,000 color combinations of 15 beans have at least 6 green beans.

A researcher at the University of Washington medical school believes that energy drink consumption may increase heart rate. Suppose it is known that heart rate (in beats per minute) is normally distributed with an average of 70 bpm for adults. A random sample of 25 adults was selected and it was found that their average heartbeat was 73 bpm after energy drink consumption, with a standard deviation of 7 bpm. In order to test belief at the 10% significance level, determine P-value for the test.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
mean μ = 70
sample size = 25
sample mean = 73
standard deviation = 7
level of significance = 0.10
The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:
[tex]\mathtt{H_o : \mu = 70} \\ \\ \mathtt{H_1 : \mu > 70 }[/tex]
The z score for this statistics can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{73- 70}{\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{3}{\dfrac{7}{5}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{3 \times 5}{{7}{}}[/tex]
z = 2.143
At level of significance of 0.10
degree of freedom = n -1
degree of freedom = 25 - 1
degree of freedom = 24
The p - value from the z score at level of significance of 0.10 and degree of freedom of 24 is:
P - value = 1 - (Z < 2.143)
P - value = 1 - 0.9839
P - value = 0.0161
Decision Rule: since P value is lesser than the level of significance, we reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: We conclude that energy drink consumption increases heart rate.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original hourly rate be r.
Then 1.045r + $26.80/hr.
Dividing both sides by 1.045, we get:
$26.80/hr
r = ------------------ = $25.65 This was the before-raise pay rate.

Find the product of the roots of the equation
xl-5x - 36 = 0
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, I assume that you mean
[tex]x^2-5x-36[/tex]
The product is -36.
[tex]x_1 \text{ and } x_2 \text{ are the two roots, we can write}\\\\(x-x_1)(x-x_2)=x^2-(x_1+x_2)x+x_1\cdot x_2[/tex]
So in this example, it means that the sum is 5 and the product is -36.
Thank you
Divide. Write the quotient in lowest terms. 3 3/4 ÷ 5/7
Rewrite 3 3/4 as an improper fraction
3 3/4 = 15/4
Now you have
15/5 / 5/7
When you divide fractions, change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction over:
15/4 x 7/5
Now multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together:
( 15 x 7) / (4 x 5) = 105/20
Write as a proper fraction:
105/20 = 5 1/4
algebra and trigonometry difference
Answer:
Algebra deals with knowing the value of unknown variables and functional relationships, while trigonometry touches on triangles, sides and angles and the relationship between them.
Algebra is more on polynomial equations, x and y while trigonometry more on sine, cosine, tangent, and degrees.
Trigonometry is much more complicated than algebra but algebra has its uses in our daily lives, be it calculating distance from point to another or determining the volume of milk in a milk container.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Although both Algebra II and Trigonometry involve solving mathematical problems, Algebra II focuses on solving equations and inequalities while Trigonometry is the study of triangles and how sides are connected to angles.

About how many feet are in 3.6 kilometers? 1 m = 39.37 in
Answer:
11811 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope it helps!
There are about 11,812 feet in 3.6 kilometers.
To convert kilometers to feet, we need to use the conversion factor:
1 kilometer = 3,280.84 feet.
Now, to find how many feet are in 3.6 kilometers,
we can multiply 3.6 by the conversion factor:
So, 3.6 kilometers x 3,280.84 feet/kilometer
= 11,811.504 feet.

If A and B are independent events with P( A) = 0.35 and P( B) = 0.55, then P( A| B) is:_________.
a. .19
b. 1.57
c. .64
d. .91
Answer:
P( A| B)= 0.35. None of the options are correctStep-by-step explanation:
Two events A and B are said to be independent if the occurrence of one of the events does not affect the other occurring. For example, the event of tossing two coins is an independent event since they occur simultaneously. Two events are therefore independent if the following are true.
P(A|B) = P(A)
P(B|A) = P(B)
P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)
If A and B are independent events with P( A) = 0.35 and P( B) = 0.55,
then P( A| B) is a probability of A occurring provided that B has occurred. This is known as conditional probability for an independent event.
From the condition above for independent events, P(A|B) = P(A) and since P(A) = 0.35, hence P(A|B) =0.35
