Answer:
Please refer to the attached graph.
Slope = -3.125
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Time is placed on x axis.
Initially, height of rock climber is 25 feet above sea level.
[tex]t_1 =0\ sec[/tex]
[tex]h_1[/tex] = 25 feet
After 8 seconds, he is at sea level.
[tex]t_2 =8\ sec[/tex]
[tex]h_2[/tex] = 0 feet
To find:
Graph of the given points and Slope of the line depicted.
Solution:
Kindly refer to the attached graph.
Here, we have been given two points to be plotted on the xy coordinate plane.
1st point is (0, 25): Time is 0 and height above sea level is 25 ft
2nd point is (8, 0): Time is 8 seconds and height above sea level is 0 ft (i.e. he comes to sea level)
First of all, mark these points and join them with a straight line.
Please refer to attached graph.
Slope of a line is given as:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Here,
[tex]y_2 = 0\\y_1 = 25\\x_2 = 8\\x_1 = 0[/tex]
Using the formula:
[tex]m=\dfrac{0-25}{8-0}\\\Rightarrow m=-\dfrac{25}{8} = \bold{-3.125}[/tex]
Suppose that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of 200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked.Required:a. What is the (approximate) probability that X is at most 30?b. What is the (approximate) probability that X is less than 30?c. What is the (approximate) probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive)?
Answer:
(a) The probability that X is at most 30 is 0.9726.
(b) The probability that X is less than 30 is 0.9554.
(c) The probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive) is 0.7406.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked. A random sample of 200 shafts is taken.
Let X = the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution such that X ~ Binom(n = 200, p = 0.11).
Here the probability of success is 11% that this much % of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked.
Now, here to calculate the probability we will use normal approximation because the sample size if very large(i.e. greater than 30).
So, the new mean of X, [tex]\mu[/tex] = [tex]n \times p[/tex] = [tex]200 \times 0.11[/tex] = 22
and the new standard deviation of X, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{n \times p \times (1-p)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{200 \times 0.11 \times (1-0.11)}[/tex]
= 4.42
So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu =22, \sigma^{2} = 4.42^{2}[/tex])
(a) The probability that X is at most 30 is given by = P(X < 30.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X < 30.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{30.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 1.92) = 0.9726
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.92 in the z table which has an area of 0.9726.
(b) The probability that X is less than 30 is given by = P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 29.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 29.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{29.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.70) = 0.9554
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.70 in the z table which has an area of 0.9554.
(c) The probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive) is given by = P(15 [tex]\leq[/tex] X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = P(X < 25.5) - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 14.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X < 25.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{25.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.79) = 0.7852
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 14.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{14.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -1.70) = 1 - P(Z < 1.70)
= 1 - 0.9554 = 0.0446
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.79 and x = 1.70 in the z table which has an area of 0.7852 and 0.9554.
Therefore, P(15 [tex]\leq[/tex] X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = 0.7852 - 0.0446 = 0.7406.
Solve 2(x - 1) + 3 = x - 3(x + 1) (make sure to type the number only)
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x - 1) + 3 = x - 3(x + 1)
Distribute
2x -2+3 = x -3x-3
Combine like terms
2x +1 = -2x-3
Add 2x to each side
2x+1 +2x = -2x-3+2x
4x+1 = -3
Subtract 1 from each side
4x+1-1 = -3-1
4x= -4
Divide by 4
4x/4 = -4/4
x = -1
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now, in about how many years will it take to reach $20 per month? Use the equation 20 = 8(1.2)x to solve the problem. Round to the nearest year. 1 year 5 years 2 years 16 years
Answer:
6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:
[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8
[tex]y=ab^x\\8=ab^0\\a=8[/tex]
Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:
[tex]y=ab^x\\y=8(1.2^x) \\[/tex]
To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x
[tex]20=8(1.2)^x\\20/8=1.2^x\\1.2^x=2.5\\Taking \ natural\ log\ of \ both\ sides:\\ln(1.2^x)=ln2.5\\xln(1.2)=0.9163\\x=0.9163/ln(1.2)\\x=5.026[/tex]
x = 6 years to the nearest year
Answer:
5 years

Yelena needs to swim a total of 8 miles this
week. So far, she swam 5 miles. Use the
equation 5 + m=8 to find how many more
miles Yelena needs to swim.
Answer:
3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
5 + m=8
Subtract 5 from each side
5-5 + m=8-5
m = 3
She needs to swim 3 more miles
Answer:
Yelena needs to swim 3 more miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to solve for the variable "m", which represents the miles. Based on the information, Yelena swam 5 miles and she needs to swim 8. Solve:
[tex]5+m=8[/tex]
To find the value of m, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, you need to get the 8 and 5 on the same side of the equal operation. For this, you need to use reverse operations. This undoes the value from one side and does the same on the other, keeping the equation balanced. Since we have a "positive 5", we take the opposite, which would be a "negative 5". So subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]5-5+m=8-5[/tex]
Simplify. The 5's cancel each other out, leaving 0. 8-5 is 3:
[tex]m=3[/tex]
The total miles left that Yelena needs to swim is 3 miles.

Time spent using e-mail per session is normally distributed with a mean = to 8 minutes and standard deviation = 2minutes. If a random samples of 36 sessions were selected, the computed sample standard deviation would be
a. 0.25
b. 0.3333
c. 0.42
d. 0.48
Answer:
The correct option is (b) 0.3333.
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample mean [tex](\bar x)[/tex] is known as the standard error [tex](\sigma_{\bar x})[/tex].
The standard error is given as follows:
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
The information provided is:
[tex]\mu=8\\\\\sigma=2\\\\n=36[/tex]
Compute the standard deviation of the sample mean as follows:
[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{2}{\sqrt{36}}\\\\=\frac{2}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\\\\=0.3333[/tex]
Thus, the standard deviation of the sample mean is 0.3333.
IQ scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. What percentile corresponds to an IQ score of 115? Explain the steps you took to find the percentile.
Answer:
The percentile that corresponds to an IQ score of 115 is 34.13 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find the percentile that corresponds to an IQ score of 115.
To calculate this percentile, we start with making observations. From the question, we are told that the mean score is 100 while the standard deviation is 15.
Now we want to find the percentile for a score if 115. For a score of 115, we can see that the difference between this score and the mean is 15 which is exactly equal to the standard deviation.
What this means is that the score is within +1 SD of the mean.
For a score of within +1 SD of the mean, the percentile is 34.13%
A score at the mean is the 50th percentile, a score which is 1 SD above or below the mean has a percentile value of 34.13%
Please, I will like you to check the attachment to see how percentiles are valued given the number of standard deviations a particular value is from the mean.
A soccer player has made 3 of her last 10 field goals, which is a field goal percentage of 30%. How many more consecutive field goals would she need to make to raise her field goal percentage to 50%?
Answer:
4 consecutive goals
Step-by-step explanation:
If 3 of last 10 field goals = 30%
Which is equivalent to
(Number of goals scored / total games played) * 100%
(3 / 10) * 100% = 30%
Number of consecutive goals one has to score to raise field goal to 50% will be:
Let y = number of consecutive goals
[(3+y) / (10+y)] * 100% = 50%
[(3+y) / (10+y)] * 100/100 = 50/100
[(3+y) / (10+y)] * 1 = 0.5
(3+y) / (10+y) = 0.5
3+y = 0.5(10 + y)
3+y = 5 + 0.5y
y - 0.5y = 5 - 3
0.5y = 2
y = 2 / 0.5
y = 4
Therefore, number of consecutive goals needed to raise field goal to 50% = 4
Century Roofing is thinking of opening a new warehouse, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new warehouse. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No new working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.)
Question Completion:
WACC = 10.0%
Opportunity cost = $100,000
Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) = $65,000
Straight-line deprec. rate for equipment = 33.333%
Sales revenues, each year = $123,000
Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year = $25,000
Tax rate = 35%
Answer:
Century Roofing
Project's NPV is: ($6,578)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
WACC = 10.0%
Opportunity cost = $100,000
Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) = $65,000
Straight-line deprec. rate for equipment = 33.333%
Sales revenues, each year = $123,000
Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year = $25,000
Tax rate = 35%
Cash outflow in year 0 = $165,000 (Opportunity and new equipment costs)
Annual Cash inflow = $123,000 - $25,000 - $34,300 = $63,700
PV of annuity for 3 years at 10% = $158,422 ($63,700 x 2.487)
NPV = Cash inflow minus Cash outflow
= $158,422 - $165,000
= ($6,578)
Negative NPV
b) Since Century Roofing could have realized $100,000 from the sale of the building if it decides not to open the new warehouse, this opportunity cost is factored into the calculation of the Net Present Value. It becomes a present cash outflow. Century Roofing's opportunity cost is defined as the loss of $100,000 being the future return from the best alternative project when it chooses to build the new warehouse instead of selling off the building.

Given the following hypotheses: H0: μ = 490 H1: μ ≠ 490 A random sample of 15 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 495 and the sample standard deviation 9. Using the 0.01 significance level:
a.) State the decision rule.
b.) Compute the value of the test statistic.
c.) What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?
Answer:
We conclude that the population mean is equal to 490.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a random sample of 15 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 495 and the sample standard deviation 9.
Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 490 {means that the population mean is equal to 490}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 490 {means that the population mean is different from 490}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_1_4[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean = 495
s = sample standard deviation = 9
n = sample of observations = 15
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{495-490}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{15} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_1_4[/tex]
= 2.152
The value of t-test statistics is 2.152.
Now, at a 0.01 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -2.977 and 2.977 at 14 degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will not fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that the population mean is equal to 490.

The present price of a bus is rs 3000000if the price of bus depreciated the first two yrs by 10% and then 15% and 20% respectively in follow yrs.what is the price of bus after 4 yrs?
Answer:
The price of bus after 4 yrs is Rs.1652400
Step-by-step explanation:
Present price of car = Rs.3000000
We are given that the price of bus depreciated the first two yrs by 10%
So, The price after first two years =[tex]3000000(1-0.1)^2=2430000[/tex]
Now the price of bus depreciated by 15%
So, The price after third year = 2430000-0.15(2430000)=2065500
Now the price of bus depreciated by 20%
The price after fourth year =2065500-0.2(2065500)=1652400
Hence the price of bus after 4 yrs is Rs.1652400
A normal population has a mean of 65 and a standard deviation of 13. You select a random sample of 25. Compute the probability that the sample mean is: (Round your z values to 2 decimal places and final answers to 4 decimal places): Greater than 69.
Answer:
0.0618
Step-by-step explanation:
z = (x - μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score = 69
μ is the sample mean = population mean = 65
σ is the sample standard deviation
This is calculated as:
= Population standard deviation/√n
Where n = number of samples = 25
σ = 13/√25
σ = 13/5 = 2.6
Sample standard deviation = 2.6
z = (69 - 65) / 2.6
z = 4/2.6
z = 1.53846
Approximately to 2 decimal places = 1.54
Using the z score table to determine the probability,
P(x = 69) = P(z = 1.54)
= 0.93822.
The probability that the sample mean is greater than 69 is
P(x>Z) = 1 - 0.93822
P(x>Z) = 0.06178
Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.0618

The one-sample z test is: a. a hypothesis test b. used to test hypotheses c. concerning a single population with a known variance d. concerning at least one population e. concerning the variance in a population d. all of the above
Answer:
d. all of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
A one sample z test measures whether the mean of a population is greater, less or equal to a specific value. It is called one sampl z test since the standard normal distribution is used in calculation of critical values. It makes use of the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis in determining if the mean is greater than or equal or less than the reference value. Variance and standard deviation is assumed to be known and at least one population is used
A type of related samples design in which participants are observed more than once is called a
A. repeated measures design
B. matched pairs design
C. matched samples design
D. both matched pairs design and matched samples design
Answer:
Option A (repeated measures design) is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Researchers as well as statisticians vary in terms of methods used mostly for repetitive measurements. Besides illustration, repeated models of measurements are however recognized as repeated analyzes of variance measurements, standardized considerations of measurements, or layouts of objects throughout them.The other three options are not related to the given instance. So that alternative A would be the correct choice.

What is the constant of variation, k, of the line y=kx through (3,18) and (5,30)? 3 6
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant of variation is the slope
k = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (30-18)/(5-3)
=12/2
= 6
The value of constant of variation, k, is,
⇒ k = 6
What is Equation of line?
The equation of line in point-slope form passing through the points
(x₁ , y₁) and (x₂, y₂) with slope m is defined as;
⇒ y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
Where, m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Here, the constant of variation, k, of the line y = kx through (3,18) and (5,30)
Since, The constant of variation is the slope,
Hence, We get;
k = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
= (30 - 18)/(5 - 3)
= 12/2
= 6
Thus, the value of constant of variation, k, is,
⇒ k = 6
