The time between consecutive uses of a vending machine is exponential with an average of 15 minutes. a)Given that the machine has not been used in the previous 5 minutes, what is the probability that the machine will not be used during the next 10 minutes
Answer5
Step-by-step explanation:
In a simple regression analysis with age as the only explanatory variable, the effects of other factors, such as faminc, are
Answer:
In the error term.
Step-by-step explanation:
A simple linear regression is a regression that has only one explanatory variable. It tries to establish the existing relationship between the variable of interest (dependent variable) and the explanatory variable (independent variable).
Since age is the only explanatory variable, other variables such as faminc would be in the error term. The error term exists because the explanatory variable is never able to on its own to predict the dependent variable perfectly.
Draw a Venn diagram and use the given information to fill in the number of elements in each region.
Answer: Check out the diagram below for the filled in boxes
14 goes in the first box (inside A, but outside B)
7 goes in the overlapping circle regions
5 goes in the third box (inside B, outside A)
3 goes in the box outside of the circles
==============================================================
Explanation:
[tex]n(A \cup B) = 26[/tex] means there are 26 items that are in A, B or both.
n(A) = 21 means there are 21 items in A
n(B) = 12 means there are 12 items in B
We don't know the value of [tex]n(A \cap B)[/tex] which is the number of items in both A and B at the same time. This is the intersecting or overlapping regions of the two circles. Let [tex]x = n(A \cap B)[/tex]
It turns out that adding n(A) to n(B), then subtracting off the stuff they have in common, leads to n(A u B) as shown below.
--------
[tex]n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)\\\\26 = 21+12 - x\\\\26 = 33 - x\\\\x+26 = 33\\\\x = 33-26\\\\x = 7\\\\n(A \cap B) = 7\\\\[/tex]
So there are 7 items in both regions.
This means there are [tex]n(A) - n(A \cap B) = 21 - 7 = 14[/tex] items that are in set A only. In other words, 14 items are in circle A, but not in circle B.
Notice how the values 14 and 7 add back up to 14+7 = 21, which represents everything in set A.
Similarly, there are [tex]n(B) - n(A \cap B) = 12 - 7 = 5[/tex] items that are in circle B, but not in circle A. The values 5 and 7 in circle B add to 5+7 = 12, matching with n(B) = 12.
The notation n(A') means the number of items that are not in set A. We're given n(A') = 8. We already know that 5 is outside circle A. So if 5+y = 8, then y = 3 must be the missing value for the box that is outside both circles.
Again the diagram is posted below with the filled in values.
A Venn diagram is an overlapping circle to describe the logical relationships between two or more sets of items.
The filled Venn diagram is given below.
What is a Venn diagram?A Venn diagram is an overlapping circle to describe the logical relationships between two or more sets of items.
We have,
n(A) = 21
This is the total of all the items included in Circle A.
n(B) = 12
This is the total of all the items included in Circle A.
n(A') = 8
The items that are not in circle A.
n(A U B ) = 26
The items that are in both circle A and circle B.
Now,
n (A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
26 = 21 + 12 - n(A ∩ B)
n(A ∩ B) = 33 - 26
n(A ∩ B) = 7
Thus,

Maria operates a taco truck in her neighborhood. She has created a graph based on her business performance in the previous year. The price she currently sells tacos for is $2.30. Which two statements correctly interpret this graph? Revenue and Cost Functions 1)Maria’s business is incurring losses. 2)Maria’s costs are rising over time. 3)Maria is running a profitable business. 4)Maria’s total revenue exceeds her total profit. 5)Maria’s total profit exceeds her total revenue.
Answer:
3)Maria is running a profitable business.
4)Maria’s total revenue exceeds her total profit.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph shows variation of revenue and cost with respect to price of product and not with respect to time .
The price of the product is 2.30 . From this graph , we see that at this price revenue exceeds total cost . So maria is running a profitable business .
Total profit can not exceed total revenue as
Total revenue - total cost = total profit .
So total profit will always be less than total revenue .
the function y= -16t^2 + 248, models the hight y in feet of a stone t seconds after it dropped from the edge of a vertical cliff. How long will it take the stone to hit the ground?
Answer:
[tex]t \: = 3.92 \: sec[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
When (t =0)
Height of cliff = 248 feet = 75.5m
Using Newton's equations of motion:
[tex]s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2} [/tex]
75.5 = 0 * t + 4.9 * t^2
Solving further :
[tex]t \: = 3.92 \: sec[/tex]

Complete Question
In the nation of Gondor, the EPA requires that half the new cars sold will meet a certain particulate emission standard a year later. A sample of 64 one-year-old cars revealed that only 24 met the particulate emission standard. The test statistic to see whether the proportion is below the requirement is:
A -1.645
B -2.066
C -2.000
D-1.960
Answer:
The correct option is C
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]p = 0.50[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 64[/tex]
The number that met the standard is [tex]k = 24[/tex]
Generally the sample proportion is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\r p = \frac{24}{64}[/tex]
[tex]\r p =0.375[/tex]
Generally the standard error is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]SE = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1- p )}{n} }[/tex]
=> [tex]SE = \sqrt{ \frac{0.5 (1- 0.5 )}{64} }[/tex]
=> [tex]SE = 0.06525[/tex]
The test statistics is evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{ \r p - p }{SE}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{ 0.375 - 0.5 }{0.0625}[/tex]
[tex]t = -2[/tex]

Which represents a measure of volume?
O 5 cm
O 5 square cm
05 cm
05 cm
Answer:
a) 5[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Bodies have three dimensions (width, height and depth). Measuring volume is calculating the number of cubic units that can fit inside.
When raising to 3, these dimensions are included and therefore 5[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] is a measure of volume.
Answer:
5cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume for a form will always be in cubic units.
Area of a shape will always be in squared units.
Length will not be in cubic or squared units.
Hence, the first option is a measure for volume.
The second option is equal to 5cm^2 which represents a measure for area, as does the fourth option.
The third option represents a measurement of length, for example the length of a line segment or the height of a figure.

A researcher reports a 98% confidence interval for the proportion of Drosophila in a population with mutation Adh-F to be [0.34, 0.38]. Therefore, there is a probability of 0.98 that the proportion of Drosophola with this mutation is between 0.34 and 0.38. True or False
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
The 98% is confidence interval its not a probability estimate. The probability will be different from the confidence interval. Confidence interval is about the population mean and is not calculated based on sample mean. Every confidence interval contains the sample mean. There is 98% confidence that the proportion of Drosophola with his mutation is between 0.34 and 0.38.
In a recent year, a sample of grade 8 Washington State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean score of 281 with a standard deviation of 34.4. Possible test scores could range from 0 to 500. Assume that the scores are normally distributed. Question 9 (2.5 points) If 2000 students are randomly selected, how many would you expect to have a score between 250 and 305?
Answer:
The number is [tex]N =1147[/tex] students
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 281[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 34.4[/tex]
The sample size is n = 2000
percentage of the would you expect to have a score between 250 and 305 is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(\frac{ 250 - 281}{34.4 } < \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{ 305 - 281}{34.4 } )[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (Standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(-0.9012< Z<0.698 )[/tex]
[tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(z_2 < 0.698 ) - P(z_1 < -0.9012)[/tex]
From the z table the value of [tex]P( z_2 < 0.698) = 0.75741[/tex]
and [tex]P(z_1 < -0.9012) = 0.18374[/tex]
[tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = 0.75741 - 0.18374[/tex]
[tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = 0.57[/tex]
The percentage is [tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = 57\%[/tex]
The number of students that will get this score is
[tex]N = 2000 * 0.57[/tex]
[tex]N =1147[/tex]
A poker hand consisting of 7 cards is dealt from a standard deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that the hand contains exactly 3 face cards. Leave your answer as a reduced fraction.
Answer:
The probability is 2,010,580/13,378,456
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is a combination problem.
We want to 7 cards from a total of 52.
The number of ways to do this is 52C7 ways.
Also, we know there are 12 face cards in a standard deck of cards.
So we are selecting 3 face cards from this total of 12.
So also the number of cards which are not face cards are 52-12 = 40 cards
Out of all these 40, we shall be selecting exactly 4. The number of ways to do this 40C4
Thus, the required probability will be;
(40C4 * 12C3)/52C7 = (91,390 * 220)/133,784,560
= 20,105,800/133,784,560 = 2,010,580/13,378,456

In Triangle A B C, what is the value of x? Triangle A B C. Angle A is (10 x minus 10) degrees, angle B is (8 x) degrees, angle C is (10 x + 8) degrees.
Answer:
6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of all angles in a triangle are 180 degrees.
=> 10x -10 + 8x + 10x + 8 = 180
=> 28x -2 = 180
=> 28x = 182
=> x = 6.5
So, Angle A = 10 x 6.5 -10 = 65 - 10 = 55 degrees
Angle B = 8 x 6.5 = 52 degrees
Angle C = 10 x 6.5 + 8 = 65 + 8 = 73 degrees.
55 + 52 + 73 = 55 + 125 = 180 degrees
Using the insurance company's assumptions, calculate the probability that there are fewer than 3 tornadoes in a 14-year period. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer: 19.2222
Step-by-step explanation:
given data;
no of tornadoes = 2,1,0 because it’s fewer than 3.
period = 14 years
probability of a tornado in a calendar year = 0.12
solution:
probability of exactly 2 tornadoes
= ( 0.12 )^2 * ( 0.88 )^11 * ( 14! / 2! * 11! )
= 0.0144 * 0.2451 * 1092
= 3.8541
probability of exac one tornado
= ( 0.12 )^1 * ( 0.88 )^12 * ( 14! / 1! * 12! )
= 0.12 * 0.2157 * 182
= 12.7109
probability of exactly 0 tornado
= ( 0.12 )^0 * ( 0.88 )^13 * ( 14! / 0! * 13! )
= 1 * 0.1898 * 14
= 2.6572
probability if fewer than 3 tornadoes
= 3.8541 + 12.7109 +2.6572
= 19.2222
A study was conducted to assess the effects that occur when children are exposed to cocaine before birth. Children were tested at age 4 for object assembly skill, which was described as a task requiring visual spatial skills related to mathematical competence. The 190 children born to cocaine users had a mean of 7.3 and a standard deviation of 3.0 The 186 children not exposed to cocaine had a mean score of 8.2 with a standard deviation of 3.0 Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that prenatal cocaine exposure is associated with lower scores of four year old children on the test of object assembly.
What are null and alternative hypothesis? What is test statistics?
Answer:
We conclude that prenatal cocaine exposure is associated with lower scores of four-year-old children on the test of object assembly.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the 190 children born to cocaine users had a mean of 7.3 and a standard deviation of 3.0 The 186 children not exposed to cocaine had a mean score of 8.2 with a standard deviation of 3.0.
Let [tex]\mu_1[/tex] = population mean score for children born to cocaine users.
[tex]\mu_2[/tex] = population mean score for children not exposed to cocaine.
So, Null Hypothesis, : = 490 {means that the prenatal cocaine exposure is not associated with lower scores of four-year-old children on the test of object assembly}
Alternate Hypothesis, : 490 {means that the prenatal cocaine exposure is associated with lower scores of four-year-old children on the test of object assembly}
The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviations;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t__n_1_+_n_2_-_2[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X_1[/tex] = sample mean score of children born to cocaine users = 7.3
[tex]\bar X_2[/tex] = sample mean score of children not exposed to cocaine = 8.2
[tex]s_1[/tex] = sample standard deviation for children born to cocaine users = 3
[tex]s_2[/tex] = sample standard deviation for children not exposed to cocaine = 3
[tex]n_1[/tex] = sample of children born to cocaine users = 190
[tex]n_2[/tex] = sample of children not exposed to cocaine = 186
Also, [tex]s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)\times s_1^{2}+(n_2-1)\times s_2^{2} }{n_1+n_2-2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(190-1)\times 3^{2}+(186-1)\times 3^{2} }{190+186-2} }[/tex] = 3
So, the test statistics = ~
= -2.908
The value of t-test statistics is -2.908.
Now, at a 0.05 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -1.645 at 374 degrees of freedom for the left-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics is less than the critical value of t as -2.908 < -1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that prenatal cocaine exposure is associated with lower scores of four-year-old children on the test of object assembly.
In the null hypothesis, a test always forecasts no effect, while the alternate theory states the research expectation impact, and calculation as follows:
Null and alternative hypothesis:Calculating the pooled estimator of [tex]\sigma^2[/tex], denoted by [tex]S^2_p[/tex], is defined by
[tex]\to \bold{S^2_p= \frac{(n_1 - 1) S^2_1+ (n_2 - 1)S^2_2}{n_1 + n_2 - 2}}[/tex]
Null hypothesis:
[tex]\to H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = \Delta_0\\[/tex]
Test statistic:
[tex]\to T_0=\frac{\bar{X_1}- \bar{X_2} -\Delta_0}{S_p \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}} \\\\[/tex]
Alternative Hypothesis:
[tex]H_1 : \mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq \Delta_0\\\\ H_1 : \mu_1 -\mu_2 > \Delta_0\\\\H_1 : \mu_1 -\mu_2 < \Delta_0\\\\[/tex]
Rejection Criterion
[tex]t_0 > t_{\frac{\alpha}{2} , n_1+n_2 -2}\ \ \ or\ \ \ t_0 < - t_{\frac{\alpha}{2} , n_1+n_2 -2} \\\\t_o > t_{\alpha , n_1+n_2 -2} \\\\t_o > -t_{\alpha , n_1+n_2 -2}[/tex]
Given value:
[tex]\to S_p=9\\\\\to \Delta_0=0\\\\\to t_0=-\frac{0.9}{3(\sqrt{(\frac{1}{190}+\frac{1}{186})})}=-2.9\\\\\to t_{0.05,374}=1.645\\\\[/tex]
here
[tex]\to t_0 < -t_{0.05,374}[/tex]
hence rejecting the [tex]H_0[/tex]

Answer:
Option (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
By applying Sine rule in the right ΔABD,
Sin(A) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]
Sin(60)° = [tex]\frac{\text{BD}}{\text{AB}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\text{BD}}{7\sqrt{3}}[/tex]
BD = [tex]7\sqrt{3}\times \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{21}{2}[/tex]
Now by applying Cosine rule in the right ΔBDC,
Cos(45)° = [tex]\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\frac{21}{2}}{x}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{21}{2}\times \sqrt{2}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{21\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, Option (D) is the correct option.
Benjamin’s and David’s ages add up to 36 years. The sum of twice their respective ages also add up to 72 years. Find their ages
Answer:
It can be any two numbers that sum up to 36.
eg:18+18,30+6,15+21
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Let Benjamin's age be x and David's age y.
x+y=36
2x+2y=72
Solution:
As twice of 36=72, any two numbers that add up to 36 ,will give a sum of 72 after multiplying them with 2.Therefore ,Benjamin's and David's age can be any set of numbers that sum up to 36.
