Answer:
Decision Rule: To reject the null hypothesis if t > 1.328
t = 3.913
Step-by-step explanation:
The summary of the given statistics include:
sample size n = 21
the correlation between the number of passengers and total fuel cost r = 0.668
(1) We are tasked to state the decision rule for 0.10 significance level
The degree of freedom df = n - 1
degree of freedom df = 21 - 1
degree of freedom df = 19
The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:
[tex]H_o : \rho < 0\\ \\ Ha : \rho > 0[/tex]
The critical value for [tex]t_{\alpha, df}[/tex] is [tex]t_{010, 19}[/tex] = 1.328
Decision Rule: To reject the null hypothesis if t > 1.328
The test statistics can be computed as follows by using the formula for t-test for Pearson Correlation:
[tex]t = r*\sqrt{ \dfrac{(n-2)}{(1-r^2)}[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.668*\sqrt{ \dfrac{(21-2)}{(1-0.668^2)}[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.668*\sqrt{ \dfrac{(19)}{(1-0.446224)}[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.668*\sqrt{ \dfrac{(19)}{(0.553776)}[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.668*5.858[/tex]
t = 3.913144
t = 3.913 to 3 decimal places

Vu is three times as old as Wu. In 25 years Wu will be twice as old as Vu. How old is Vu now?
Answer: Vu is 15 years old now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let present age of WU be x.
Then, the present age of Vu = 3x
Also, After 25 years
Age of Wu = x+25
According to the question:
[tex](x+25)=2(3x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+25=6x\\\\\Rightarrow\5x=25\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=5[/tex]
Present age of Vu = 3(5) = 15
Hence, Vu is 15 years old now.

Answer:
t= 0.4933
t ≥ t ( 0.025 ,8 ) = 2.306
Since the calculated value of t= 0.4933 is less than t ( 0.025 ,8 ) = 2.306 therefore we accept the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the book had no effect on their scores.
Step-by-step explanation:
We state our null and alternative hypotheses as
H0: ud= 0 Ha: ud≠0
The significance level is set at ∝= 0.05
The test statistic under H0 is
t= d`/ sd/√n
which has t distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom
The critical region is t ≥ t ( 0.025 ,8 ) = 2.306

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we need to plug in each of the numbers to the equation.
x = 3, y = - 4, z = - 6
[tex]\frac{z-2x}{y} = \frac{-6-2(3)}{-4}[/tex]
Let's solve the parenthesis first. - 2 * 3 = - 6.
[tex]\frac{-6-6}{-4}[/tex]
We then subtract -6 - 6.
[tex]\frac{-12}{-4}[/tex]
Then, we divide (cancel out the negatives).
[tex]-12 / -4 =3[/tex]
Our final answer is 3. Hope this helps!
Suppose you have read two different books on world war 2 and each book has different arguments about how the war started which of the following sources provides the best support for the authors arguments
Answer:
Well this is my opinion I would try to compared both them and see if they have something familiar in their arguments. If not I would try to view their different point of view and write your own opinion about it. I would check out another book about the World War 2 because there's infinite of books about it.

John receives a perpetuity paying 2 at the end of year 4, 4 at the end of year 6, 6 at the end of year 8, etc. The present value of this perpetuity at an annual effective rate of 10% equals X. Calculate X
Answer:
45.35
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question, we are told that the annual effective rate = 10% = 0.10
Note also that payment is been made every 2 years
Hence , we apply the formula of effective interest rate for a period of 2 years.
Effective Interest rate(j) = (1 + r)² - 1
= (1 + 0.10)² - 1
= 1.10² - 1
= 1.21
= 0.21
Present value of perpetuality = t/[j × j/(1 + r)²]
Where t = time in years = 2
r = 0.10
= 2/ [0.21 × 0.21/(1 + 0.10)²
= 54.87528
Present value at time t = 0
= 54.87528(1 + r)^-2
= 54.87528(1 + 0.10) ^-2
= 54.87528(1.10)^-2
= 45.35
Therefore, the present value at time (t) is 0 = 45.35
consider the bevariate data below about Advanced Mathematics and English results for a 2015 examination scored by 14 students in a particular school.The raw score of the examination was out of 100 marks.
Questions:
a)Draw a scatter graph
b)Draw a line of Best Fit
c)Predict the Advance Mathematics mark of a student who scores 30 of of 100 in English.
d)calculate the correlation using the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient Formula
e) Determine the strength of the correlation
Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Enter the data in an Excel sheet.
(a)
Go to Insert → Chart → Scatter.
Select the first type of Scatter chart.
The scatter plot is attached below.
(b)
The scatter plot with the line of best fit is attached below.
The line of best fit is:
[tex]y=-0.8046x+103.56[/tex]
(c)
Compute the value of x for y = 30 as follows:
[tex]y=-0.8046x+103.56[/tex]
[tex]30=-0.8046x+103.56\\\\0.8046x=103.56-30\\\\x=\frac{73.56}{0.8046}\\\\x\approx 91.42[/tex]
Thus, the Advance Mathematics mark of a student who scores 30 out of 100 in English is 91.42.
(d)
The Pearson's Correlation Coefficient is:
[tex]r=\frac{n\cdot \sum XY-\sum X\cdot \sum Y}{\sqrt{[n\cdot \sum X^{2}-(\sum X)^{2}][n\cdot \sum Y^{2}-(\sum Y)^{2}]}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{14\cdot 44010-835\cdot 778}{\sqrt{[14\cdot52775-(825)^{2}][14\cdot 47094-(778)^{2}]}}\\\\= -0.7062\\\\\approx -0.71[/tex]
Thus, the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient is -0.71.
(e)
A correlation coefficient between ± 0.50 and ±1.00 is considered as a strong correlation.
The correlation between Advanced Mathematics and English results is -0.71.
This implies that there is a strong negative correlation.
Write the null and alternative hypotheses you would use to answer this question. Are Americans getting fatter? Researchers interested in this question take a random sample of 500 people and record an average weight of 190 pounds. Ten years ago, the average weight was 185 pounds.
Answer:
H0: u = 185 against Ha: u > 185
or
H0: u ≤ 185 against Ha: u > 185
Step-by-step explanation:
The null and alternative hypotheses for this experiment would be
H0: u = 185 against Ha: u > 185
or
H0: u ≤ 185 against Ha: u > 185
This is a one tailed test .
If the results are such that we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis it means that the Americans are getting fatter as the mean weight is increasing day by day.
The null hypothesis deals with all the values equal to or less than 185 pounds and the alternative with all the values greater than 185 pounds.

Find the sum of 1 + 3/2 + 9/4 + …, if it exists.
Answer:
Option (4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given sequence is,
[tex]1+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{9}{4}..........[/tex]
We can rewrite this sequence as,
[tex]1+\frac{3}{2}+(\frac{3}{2})^2.............[/tex]
There is a common ratio between the successive term and the previous term,
r = [tex]\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{1}[/tex]
r = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, it's a geometric sequence with infinite terms. In other words it's a geometric series.
Since sum of infinite geometric sequence is represented by the formula,
[tex]S_{n}=\frac{a}{1-r}[/tex] , when r < 1
where 'a' = first term of the sequence
r = common ratio
Since common ratio of the given infinite series is greater than 1 which makes the series divergent.
Therefore, sum of infinite terms of a series will be infinite Or the sum is not possible.
Option (4) will be the answer.
An engineer wishes to determine the width of a particular electronic component. If she knows that the standard deviation is 3.6 mm, how many of these components should she consider to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ± 0.1 ±0.1 mm?
Answer:
She must consider 3507 components to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ± 0.1 mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that an engineer wishes to determine the width of a particular electronic component. If she knows that the standard deviation is 3.6 mm.
And she considers to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ±0.1 mm.
As we know that the margin of error is given by the following formula;
The margin of error = [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
Here, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 3.6 mm
n = sample size of components
[tex]\alpha[/tex] = level of significance = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10 or 10%
[tex]\frac{\alpha}{2} = \frac{0.10}{2}[/tex] = 0.05 or 5%
Now, the critical value of z at a 5% level of significance in the z table is given to us as 1.645.
So, the margin of error = [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
0.1 mm = [tex]1.645 \times \frac{3.6}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{3.6\times 1.645}{0.1 }[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex] = 59.22
n = [tex]59.22^{2}[/tex] = 3507.0084 ≈ 3507.
Hence, she must consider 3507 components to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ± 0.1 mm.

Given that:
Side of an equilateral triangle = 8 cm
To find:
Area of the triangle will be:
[tex]A.\ 16\sqrt3\ cm^2[/tex]
[tex]B.\ \dfrac{32}{3} cm^2[/tex]
[tex]C.\ 48\ cm^2[/tex]

A ladder leans against a vertical at angle of 60° to the wall of the foot of the ladder is 5m away from the wall calculate the length of the ladder
Answer:
Your question indicates the ladder is at an angle of 60° to the wall, meaning the angle between the wall and the ladder is 60° and the angle between the ladder and the ground must be 30°. Not a very efficient way to set up a ladder.
5.7735 meters. The top of the ladder is 2.8868 meters off the ground.
Now, if you meant the ladder is 60° from the ground, that’s a different story.
Then, the ladder is 10 meters long and reaches 8.6603 meters from the ground.
A 30–60–90 right triangle is half of an equalateral triangle. Therefore the hypotenuse is double the length of the short leg, and by the Pythagorean theorum, we can determine that the other leg is the length of the short leg times the square root of 3.
All lengths in this answer are rounded to the nearest tenth of a millimeter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Design a nonlinear system that has at least two solutions. One solution must be the ordered pair: (-2, 5). Tell how you came up with your system and give the entire solution set for the system.
Answer:
[tex] \begin{cases} (x - 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 25 \\ y = 5 \end{cases} [/tex]
Solutions: x = 6, y = 5 or x = -2, y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use a graph.
Plot point (-2, 5). That will be a point on a circle with radius 5.
From point (-2, 5), go right 4 and down 3 to point (2, 2). (2, 2) is the center of the circle.
You now need the equation of a circle with center (2, 2) and radius 5.
Use the standard equation of a circle:
[tex] (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 [/tex]
where (h, k) is the center and 5 is the radius.
The circle has equation:
[tex] (x - 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 25 [/tex]
To have a single solution, you need the equation of the line tangent to the circle at (-2, 5), but since you want more than one solution, you need the equation of a secant to the circle. For example, use the equation of the horizontal line through point (2, 5) which is y = 5.
System:
[tex] \begin{cases} (x - 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 25 \\ y = 5 \end{cases} [/tex]
To solve, let y = 5 in the equation of the circle.
(x - 2)^2 + (5 - 2)^2 = 25
(x - 2)^2 + 9 = 25
(x - 2)^2 = 16
x - 2 = 4 or x - 2 = -4
x = 6 or x = -2
Solutions: x = 6, y = 5 or x = -2, y = 5
An example of a nonlinear system that has at least two solutions, one of which is (-2,5) are,
⇒ x² + y² = 29
⇒ 3x + 4y = -2
What is an expression?Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Now, This system by starting with the equation of a circle centered at the origin with radius sqrt(29), which is,
⇒ x² + y² = 29.

A bike wheel is 26 inches in diameter. What is the bike wheel's diameter in millimeters (1 inch = 25.4 millimeters)?
Answer:
Diameter of wheel in millimetres is 660.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Diameter of wheel in inches = 26
given
1 inch = 25.4 millimeters
multiplying RHS and LHS by 26
26*1 inch = 26*25.4 millimeters
=>26 inch = 660.4 mm.
Thus, diameter of wheel in millimetres is 660.4
the amount of gas in sarahs car is uniformly distributed between 1 and 16 gallons. Calculate the probability that the amount of gas is exactly 7 gallons
Answer:
The probability that the amount of gas in Sarah's car is exactly 7 gallons is 0.067.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X represent the amount of gas in Sarah's car.
It is provided that [tex]X\sim Unif(1, 16)[/tex].
The amount of gas in a car is a continuous variable.
So, the random variable X follows a continuous uniform distribution.
Then the probability density function of X is:
[tex]f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{b-a};\ a<X<b[/tex]
For a continuous probability distribution the probability at an exact point is 0.
So, to compute the probability that the amount of gas in Sarah's car is exactly 7 gallons use continuity correction on both sides:
P (X = 7) = P (7 - 0.5 < X < 7 + 0.5)
= P (6.5 < X < 7.5)
[tex]=\int\limits^{7.5}_{6.5} {\frac{1}{16-1}} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{15}\times |x|^{7.5}_{6.5}\\\\=\frac{1}{15}\times (7.5-6.5)\\\\=\frac{1}{15}\\\\=0.0666667\\\\\approx 0.067[/tex]
Thus, the probability that the amount of gas in Sarah's car is exactly 7 gallons is 0.067.
