The 2010 GSS provides the following statistics for the average years of education for lower-, working-, middle-, and upper-class respondents and their associated standard deviations. Assume that years of education are normally distributed in the population. Mean Standard Deviation N Lower-class 11.61 2.67 123 Working-class 12.80 2.85 697 Middle-class 14.45 3.08 626 Upper-class 15.45 2.98 38 How many years of education correspond to a Z score of +1.2 for upper-class respondents?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "18.087 years".

Step-by-step explanation:

For upper class:

[tex]\mu=15.45 \ years\\\\\alpha=2.98 \ years\\\\[/tex]

[tex]P(Z \leq 1.2)[/tex] from the standard normal distribution on the table:

[tex]P(Z \leq 1.2) =0.8849\\\\x=z_{\alpha}+\mu\\\\[/tex]

  [tex]=0.8849 \times 2.98 +15.45\\\\ = 2.637002+15.45 \\\\=18.087 \ \ years\\[/tex]

Is x=-2 a solution for the equation below?

Answers

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

-7+x^2-3x      =       9+x-10

-7+(-2)^2-3*(-2)                   9+(-2)-10

-7+4+6                                9-12

3                   >                      -3

if we substitute -2 to x, answer is not equal

Answer:

x= -2

-7 +x^2 - 3x = 9 +x - 10

-7 + (-2)^2 -3×(-2) = 9 + (-2) -10

-7 +4 +6 = 9 - 2 - 10

Use the graph of the parabola to identify the domain and range of the function.

Answers

Answer:

C

Domain (-x,x): (-inf, inf)

Range (-y,y): [1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is -x to x which is the lowest x value marked to the parabola to the highest. Since their are arrows indicating that the parabola continues both ways, the domain is infinite both ways. The range has the endpoint of one and the continuation of 0 (you can tell by the brackets [], (), [), or (]; [ <- endpoint; ( or ) <- continuation), the range is [1, 0).  :)

Let me know if anything didn't make sense.  

Step-by-step explanation:

So a diagonal through a rectangle makes two triangles.  The question wants to know how much walking is saved walking down the diagonal  vs walking along two sides that make the diagonal.  in this case the two non diagonal sides walked are 60 paces and 50 paces.

A diagonal through a rectangle specifically makes a right triangle, so to find the diagonal we can use the pythagorean theorem.  

c^2 = 60^2 + 50^2

c = [tex]\sqrt{60^2 + 50^2}[/tex]

c = [tex]\sqrt{6100} = 10\sqrt{61}[/tex]

if you don't get how to simplify a radical like that let me know.

Anyway, looking at the answers you can see right away the second option says no approximation is necessary.  Well, you need to approximate square root of 61, so we can say the second answer is not right.  So now we need to know what to fill in for option 1.

it wants the distance saved, well we know the distance of the diagonal is [tex]10\sqrt{61}[/tex]  Hopefully you can see the disctance walking the two other sides is just adding them up so 50+60=110.

Now, to find the difference, that is subtraction.  So subtract the smaller number from the larger number.  You do need to remember with a right triangle, the sum of the to non diagonal (hypotenuse) sides are always longer than said hypotenuse.  so that's 110-[tex]10\sqrt{61}[/tex].  That is the exact form.  Or you could use 10(11-[tex]\sqrt{61}[/tex])  They are the same.

Then just plug that into a calculator for a decimal approximation.

f (-10) = ?
Evaluate piecewise functions

Answers

Answer:

f(- 10) = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

f(- 10) with t = - 10 corresponds to t ≤ - 10 with f(t) = t² - 5t , then

f(- 10) = (- 10)² - 5(- 10) = 100 + 50 = 150

for t=-10

f(t)=t²-5t

So

f(-10)

(-10)²-5(-10)100+50150

Find the number c that satisfies the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
f(x)= sqrt of x [0,9]
c =

Answers

Answer:

9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is continuous and differentiable on (0,9).

We want to find c using the following equation.

f'(c)=(f(9)-f(0))/(9-0)

This will require us to find f'(x) first.

f(x)=sqrt(x) is the same as   f(x)=(x)^(1/2)

Using power rule to differentiate this gives f'(x)=(1/2)(x)^(1/2-1) or simplified f'(x)=(1/2)x^(-1/2) or f'(x)=1/(2x^(1/2)).

So we want to solve:

(1/2)c^(-1/2)=(f(9)-f(0))/(9-0)

Simplify denominator on right:

(1/2)c^(-1/2)=(f(9)-f(0))/9

This will require us to find f(9) and f(0).

If f(x)=sqrt(x), then f(9)=sqrt(9)=3 and f(0)=sqrt(0)=0.

So we have the following equation so far:

(1/2)c^(-1/2)=(3-0)/9

Simplify numerator on right:

(1/2)c^(-1/2)=3/9

Multiply both sides by 2:

c^(-1/2)=6/9

Raise both sides to the -2 power:

c^(1)=(6/9)^(-2)

Note c^1=c:

c=(6/9)^(-2):

Note negative exponent means to find reciprocal of base to change exponent to opposite

c=(9/6)^2

Apply the second power:

c=81/36

Reduce by dividing top and bottom by 9:

c=9/4

This means the slope of the tangent to the curve f at x=9/4 is the same value as the slope of the secant line going through points (0,0) and (9,3).

Also 9/4 is between 0 and 9... According to the theorem we were suppose to get a value c between x=0 and x=9.

Confirmation:

Slope of the secant line is (3-0)/(9-0)=3/9=1/3.

Slope of the tangent line to curve f at x=9/4.

f'(x)=(1/2)x^(-1/2)

f'(9/4)=(1/2)(9/4)^(-1/2)

f'(9/4)=(1/2)(3/2)^(-1)

f'(9/4)=(1/2)(2/3)

f'(9/4)=1/3

They are indeed equal values (talking about the 1/3 from the secant and the tangent.)

An article describes an experiment to determine the effectiveness of mushroom compost in removing petroleum contaminants from soil. Out of 155 seeds planted in soil containing 3% mushroom compost by weight, 74 germinated. Out of 155 seeds planted in soil containing 5% mushroom compost by weight, 86 germinated. Can you conclude that the proportion of seeds that germinate differs with the percent of mushroom compost in the soil

Answers

Solution :

Let [tex]p_1[/tex] and [tex]p_2[/tex]  represents the proportions of the seeds which germinate among the seeds planted in the soil containing [tex]3\%[/tex] and [tex]5\%[/tex] mushroom compost by weight respectively.

To test the null hypothesis [tex]H_0: p_1=p_2[/tex] against the alternate hypothesis  [tex]H_1:p_1 \neq p_2[/tex] .

Let [tex]\hat p_1, \hat p_2[/tex] denotes the respective sample proportions and the [tex]n_1, n_2[/tex] represents the sample size respectively.

[tex]$\hat p_1 = \frac{74}{155} = 0.477419[/tex]

[tex]n_1=155[/tex]

[tex]$p_2=\frac{86}{155}=0.554839[/tex]

[tex]n_2=155[/tex]

The test statistic can be written as :

[tex]$z=\frac{(\hat p_1 - \hat p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1 \times (1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}} + \frac{\hat p_2 \times (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}}[/tex]

which under [tex]H_0[/tex]  follows the standard normal distribution.

We reject [tex]H_0[/tex] at [tex]0.05[/tex] level of significance, if the P-value [tex]<0.05[/tex] or if [tex]|z_{obs}|>Z_{0.025}[/tex]

Now, the value of the test statistics = -1.368928

The critical value = [tex]\pm 1.959964[/tex]

P-value = [tex]$P(|z|> z_{obs})= 2 \times P(z< -1.367928)$[/tex]

                                     [tex]$=2 \times 0.085667$[/tex]

                                     = 0.171335

Since the p-value > 0.05 and [tex]$|z_{obs}| \ngtr z_{critical} = 1.959964$[/tex], so we fail to reject [tex]H_0[/tex] at [tex]0.05[/tex] level of significance.

Hence we conclude that the two population proportion are not significantly different.

Conclusion :

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the [tex]\text{proportion}[/tex] of the seeds that [tex]\text{germinate differs}[/tex] with the percent of the [tex]\text{mushroom compost}[/tex] in the soil.

Amanda has 1 3/4yds of red ribbon and 7/8yds of green
ribbon. What is the total amount of ribbon that
Amanda has? (write answer as a fraction)

Answers

Answer:

21/8 yds or 2 5/8 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

First turn 1 3/4 yards into an improper fraction so you can add it to 7/8 yards.

1 3/4 as an improper fraction is 7/4 yds

7/4 yds = 14/8 yds

14/8 yds + 7/8 yds = 21/8 yds

So the total amount of ribbon Amanda has is 21/8  yds or 2 5/8 yds

India measures 3{,}2143,2143, comma, 214 kilometers from north to south and 2{,}9332,9332, comma, 933 kilometers from west to east. Uche wants the longest dimension of India to fit exactly in between the margins of the page. If kkk is the number of kilometers per inch in Uche's scale, which equation best models the situation

Answers

The scale ratio of a point A to another point B is the division of the length of B by the length of A. The best equation that models the situation is: [tex]10.5k= 3214[/tex]

The page dimension is:

[tex]Length = 12[/tex]

[tex]Width = 12[/tex]

The length and the width of Uche's book are equal; this means the pages of Uche's book have the shape of a square

The margin of 0.75 on either sided means the usable dimension is:

[tex]Length = 12 - 2 * 0.75 =10.5[/tex]

The dimension of India is:

[tex]Length = 3214[/tex]

[tex]Width =2933[/tex]

The longest side in India's dimension is:

[tex]Longest = 3214[/tex]

From Uche's book, the longest dimension is:

[tex]Longest = 10.5[/tex]

So, the scale equation is:

k * longest length of Uche's book = longest side of India

This gives:

[tex]k * 10.5 =3214[/tex]

[tex]10.5k =3214[/tex]

Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The t value for 99% CI for 21 df is 2.831.

The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is (64.593, 86.407).

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the sample size is less than 30 and also population standard deviation is not known.

Then we will use t distribution to find CI

t value for 99% CI for 21 df is TINV(0.01,21)=2.831

The margin of error is [tex]E=t\times\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=2.831\times\frac{18.07}{\sqrt{22}}\\\\=10.907[/tex]

Hence CI is[tex]CI=\overline{x} \pm E\\\\ =75.50 \pm 10.907\\\\=(64.593,86.407 )[/tex]
