Police sometimes measure shoe prints at crime scenes so that they can learn something about criminals. Listed below are shoe print lengths, foot lengths, and heights of males. Construct a scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the P-value of r. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of linear correlation between the two variables. Based on these results, does it appear that police can use a shoe print length to estimate the height of a male? Use a significance level of α=0.01
Answers
It does not appear that police can use a shoe print length to estimate the height of a male.
The given parameters are:
[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}{Shoe\ Print} & {28.6} & {29.4} & {32.2} & {32.4} & {27.3} \ \\ Height (cm) & {172.5} & {176.7} & {188.4} & {170.1} & {179.2} \ \end{array}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}{x} & {28.6} & {29.4} & {32.2} & {32.4} & {27.3} \ \\ y & {172.5} & {176.7} & {188.4} & {170.1} & {179.2} \ \end{array}[/tex]
See attachment for scatter plot
To determine the correlation coefficient, we extend the table as follows:
[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}{x} & {28.6} & {29.4} & {32.2} & {32.4} & {27.3} & y & {172.5} & {176.7} & {188.4} & {170.1} & {179.2} & x^2 & {817.96} & {864.36} & {1036.84} & {1049.76} & {745.29} & y^2 & {29756.25} & {31222.89} & {35494.56} & {28934.01} & {32112.64} & x \times y & {4933.5} & {5194.98} & {6066.48} & {5511.24} & {4892.16} \ \end{array}[/tex]
The correlation coefficient (r) is:
[tex]r = \frac{\sum(x - \bar x)(y - \bar y)}{\sqrt{SS_x * SS_y}}[/tex]
We have:
[tex]n =5[/tex]
[tex]\sum xy =4933.5+5194.98+6066.48+5511.24+4892.16 =26598.36[/tex]
[tex]\sum x =28.6+29.4+32.2+32.4+27.3=149.9[/tex]
[tex]\sum y =172.5+176.7+188.4+170.1+179.2=886.9[/tex]
[tex]\sum x^2 =817.96+864.36+1036.84+1049.76+745.29=4514.21[/tex]
[tex]\sum y^2 =29756.25+31222.89+35494.56+28934.01+32112.64=157520.35[/tex]
Calculate mean of x and y
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n} = \frac{149.9}{5} = 29.98[/tex]
[tex]\bar y = \frac{\sum y}{n} = \frac{886.9}{5} = 177.38[/tex]
Calculate SSx and SSy
[tex]SS_x = \sum (x - \bar x)^2 =(28.6-29.98)^2 + (29.4-29.98)^2 + (32.2-29.98)^2 + (32.4-29.98)^2 + (27.3-29.98)^2 =20.208[/tex]
[tex]SS_y = \sum (y - \bar x)^2 =(172.5-177.38)^2 + (176.7-177.38)^2 + (188.4-177.38)^2 + (170.1-177.38)^2 + (179.2-177.38)^2 =202.028[/tex]
Calculate [tex]\sum(x - \bar x)(y - \bar y)[/tex]
[tex]\sum(x - \bar x)(y - \bar y) = (28.6-29.98)*(172.5-177.38) + (29.4-29.98)*(176.7-177.38) + (32.2-29.98)*(188.4-177.38) + (32.4-29.98)*(170.1-177.38) + (27.3-29.98) *(179.2-177.38) =9.098[/tex]
So:
[tex]r = \frac{\sum(x - \bar x)(y - \bar y)}{\sqrt{SS_x * SS_y}}[/tex]
[tex]r = \frac{9.098}{\sqrt{20.208 * 202.028}}[/tex]
[tex]r = \frac{9.098}{\sqrt{4082.581824}}[/tex]
[tex]r = \frac{9.098}{63.90}[/tex]
[tex]r = 0.142[/tex]
Calculate test statistic:
[tex]t = \frac{r}{\sqrt{\frac{1 - r^2}{n-2}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{0.142}{\sqrt{\frac{1 - 0.142^2}{5-2}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{0.142}{\sqrt{\frac{0.979836}{3}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{0.142}{\sqrt{0.326612}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{0.142}{0.5715}[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.248[/tex]
Calculate the degrees of freedom
[tex]df = n - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3[/tex]
The [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] value at:
[tex]df =3[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.248[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
The value is:
[tex]t_{0.01/2} = \±5.841[/tex]
This means that we reject the null hypothesis if the t value is not between -5.841 and 5.841
We calculate the t value as:
[tex]t = 0.248[/tex]
[tex]-5.841 < 0.248 < 5.841[/tex]
Hence, we do not reject the null hypothesis because they do not appear to have any correlation.

Answer:
(a) 5.82 cm (correctly shown)
(b) 10.53 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The length BC can be found from the law of sines:
BD/sin(C) = BC/sin(D)
BC = BC·sin(C)/sin(D) = (6 cm)sin(48°)/sin(50°) ≈ 5.82 cm
__
b) The angle ABD is the sum of the angles shown:
angle ABD = 50° +48° = 98°
We know the lengths BA and BD and the included angle ABD, so we can use the law of cosines to find AD.
AD² = BA² +BD² -2·BA·BD·cos(98°)
AD² ≈ 8² +5.82² -2(8)(5.82)(-0.139173) ≈ 110.8411
AD ≈ √110.8411 ≈ 10.53 . . . . cm
A quality-conscious disk manufacturer wishes to know the fraction of disks his company makes which are defective.

b. Suppose a sample of 865 floppy disks is drawn. Of these disks, 112 were defective. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective.
Answers
Answer:
a) 0.1295
b) The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective is (0.1071, 0.1519).
Step-by-step explanation:
Question a:
112 out of 865, so:
[tex]\pi = \frac{112}{865} = 0.1295[/tex]
Question b:
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].
For this problem, we have that:
[tex]n = 865, \pi = 0.1295[/tex]
95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.1295 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1295*0.8705}{865}} = 0.1071[/tex]
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.1295 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1295*0.8705}{865}} = 0.1519[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective is (0.1071, 0.1519).

Answers
Answer:
B Trevor isn't correct because -2i must also be a root
Step-by-step explanation:
A Trevor is correct.
B Trevor is not correct because –2i must also be a root.
C Trevor is not correct there cannot be an odd number of roots.
D Trevor is not correct because there cannot be both rational and complex roots.
statements^^^^^^
The statement that f(x) must be a polynomial with degree 3 is not necessarily true based on the given roots.
What is a function?A function has an input and an output.
A function can be one-to-one or onto one.
It simply indicated the relationships between the input and the output.
Example:
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3
f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5
The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.
We have,
Since one of the roots is complex (2i), it follows that the coefficients of f(x) must be complex as well, and therefore f(x) must be a polynomial with complex coefficients.
However, it is possible for f(x) to have a higher degree than 3.
For example,
The polynomial (x + 7)(x - 2i)(x + 2i)(x - 7) has degree 4 and has the given roots of -7, 2i, and 7. Therefore, f(x) could be a polynomial with degree 4 or higher.
Thus,
The statement that f(x) must be a polynomial with degree 3 is not necessarily true based on the given roots.

price as a percentage of his purchase price?
Answers
Answer:
The sale price was 60% of the purchase price.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Blake bought a motorcycle for $ 550 last year and sold it for $ 330 this year, to determine what is his sale price as a percentage of his purchase price, the following calculation must be performed:
550 = 100
330 = X
330 x 100/550 = X
33000/550 = X
60 = X
Therefore, the sale price was 60% of the purchase price.

You need to design a rectangle with a perimeter of 14.2 cm. The length must be 2.4 cm. What is the width of the
rectangle? (You might want to draw a picture.)
a) Let w = the width of the rectangle. Write the equation you would use to solve this problem.
b) Now solve your equation
* cm.
The width of the rectangle must be. Cm
Answers
Part (a)
Answer: 2(2.4+w) = 14.2--------------
Explanation:
L = 2.4 = length
W = unknown width
The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W)
We replace L with 2.4, and replace P with 14.2 to get 14.2 = 2(2.4+w) which is equivalent to 2(2.4+w) = 14.2
========================================================
Part (b)
Answer: w = 4.7--------------
Explanation:
We'll solve the equation we set up in part (a)
2(2.4+w) = 14.2
2(2.4)+2(w) = 14.2
4.8+2w = 14.2
2w = 14.2-4.8
2w = 9.4
w = 9.4/2
w = 4.7
The width must be 4.7 cm.

The question is basically asking: what is the smallest x such that [tex]\sqrt{2x-6}[/tex] is a real number?
Well if we made 2x-6 as small as possible, ie set it equal to 0, then we can find the answer
[tex]2x-6 = 0\\\\2x = 6\\\\x = 6/2\\\\x = 3\\\\[/tex]
I set the radicand equal to 0 because that's as small as the radicand can get (otherwise, we're dipping into negative territory).
So 2x-6 set equal to 0 leads to x = 3.
This means x = 3 produces the smallest radicand (zero) and therefore, it is the smallest allowed x value for that square root term.
But wait, if we tried x = 3 in f(x), then we get...
[tex]f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{2x-6}}{x-3}\\\\f(3) = \frac{\sqrt{2*3-6}}{3-3}\\\\f(3) = \frac{\sqrt{0}}{0}\\\\[/tex]
which isn't good. We cannot have 0 in the denominator. Dividing by zero is not allowed. The result is undefined. It doesn't even lead to a complex number. So we'll need to bump x = 3 up to x = 4. You should find that x = 4 doesn't make the denominator 0.
----------------
In short, we found that x = 3 makes the square root as small as possible while staying a real number, but it causes a division by zero error with f(x) overall. So we bump up to x = 4 instead.

Answer:
3 3/8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If you spend a little time looking at the marks on the ruler, you see that the smallest marks divide each inch into 8 parts. The ribbon comes to the 3rd small mark* after the 3-inch mark, so the length of the ribbon is 3 3/8 inches.
_____
* Technically, it is the second small mark, as the marks are small, medium, small. It marks the end of the third space, where each space is 1/8 inch.

1. What is an extraneous solution and what type of functions might they occur in?
2. Given a vertical asymptote and horizontal asymptote, how would you begin to find an expression for a rational function?
Answers
Answer:
1.
An extraneous solution is a root of a transformed equation that is not a root of the original equation as it was excluded from the domain of the original equation.
It emerges from the process of solving the problem as a equation.
2.I begin like:
The vertical asymptotes will occur at those values of x for which the denominator is equal to zero:
for example:
x² − 4=0
x²= 4
doing square root on both side
x = ±2
Thus, the graph will have vertical asymptotes at x = 2 and x = −2.
To find the horizontal asymptote, the degree of the numerator is one and the degree of the denominator is two.
