Solution:

Corresponding income of salespersons before and after form matched pairs.

The data for the test are the differences between the income is salespersons.

μd = the​ income before minus their income after.

360 365 - 5

431 431 0

506 525 - 19

505 619 - 114

Sample mean, xd

= (- 20 + 5 - 54 + 0 + 0 - 98 - 6 + 0 - 5 + 0 + - 19 - 114)/12 = - 25.92

xd = - 25.92

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n

n = 12

Summation(x - mean)² = (- 20 + 25.92)^2 + (5 - 25.92)^2 + (- 54 + 25.92)^2+ (0 + 25.92)^2 + (0 + 25.92)^2 + ( - 98 + 25.92)^2 + ( - 6 + 25.92)^2 + (0 + 25.92)^2 + (- 5 + 25.92)^2 + (0 + 25.92)^2 + (- 19 + 25.92)^2 + (- 114 + 25.92)^2 = 17784.5168

Standard deviation = √(17784.5168/12

sd = 38.5

For the null hypothesis

H0: μd ≥ 0

For the alternative hypothesis

H1: μd < 0

1) The distribution is a students t. Therefore, degree of freedom, df = n - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11

2) The formula for determining the test statistic is

t = (xd - μd)/(sd/√n)

t = ( - 25.92- 0)/(38.5/√12)

t = - 2.33

3) We would determine the probability value by using the t test calculator.

p = 0.02

4) Assume alpha = 0.05

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.02, then we would reject the null hypothesis. We can conclude that at 5% significance level, there is a significant increase in the typical salesperson’s weekly income due to the innovative incentive plan

Which of the following is an example of a matched pairs design? A. A teacher calculates the average scores of students on a pair of tests and wishes to see if this average is larger than 80%. B. A teacher compares the pre-test and post-test scores of students. C. A teacher compares the scores of students using a computer based method of instruction with scores of other students using a traditional method of instruction. D. A teacher compares the scores of students in her class on a standardized test with the national average score.

Answers

Answer:

B. A teacher compares the pre-test and post-test scores of students

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is true, because it is a good example to compare the tests between students, we know that a matching pair design is a random model and is used when the experiment allows grouping subjects in pairs based on a variable and each pair will receive randomly a different handling, the answer A is not true because in the example all students are uniformly averaged and the variable is not correlated with subgroups, option c is incorrect because the variable was not randomized and generates classification bias and the option d is incorrect because the teacher compares a small sample as her class with a score of a total sample, but does not intervene on her students when selecting the corresponding group

Matched pair design describes an experimental technique whereby subjects having certain variable or characteristic are paired or matched based on that variable, usually called the key variable. Hence, an example of a matched pair design is "a teacher compares the pre-test and post-test scores of students."

In these type of experimental design, the key or common variable pertinent to both matched subjects is of utmost importance.

The only option where, the variable shared is common is the pretest and posttest scores.

In the other options, comparing traditional and computer based instructions doesn't match ; similarly, standardized score and national average do not match perfectly.

Hence, the most appropriate option is A.

Kumar has $10.00 to spend. He decided to buy a candy bar for $1.75 and spend the rest on bags of chips. If each bag of chips costs $2.99, how many bags of chips can kumar buy ?

Answers

Answer:

2 bag of chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Money Kumar had = $10.00

Money spent on buying candy bar = $1.75

Money left with Kumar after buying candybar  can be obtained by subtracting

Money spent on buying candybar  from Total Money Kumar had.

Money left with Kumar after buying candybar  =  $10.00- $1.75 = $8.25.

It is given that rest of money( $8.25 as calculated) is spent on buying bag of chips.

cost of one bag of chips = $2.99

Let no of bag of chips  kumar can buy be x .

Therefore total money spent on buying x bag of chips  is $2.99 time no. of  bag of chips bought

Mathematically it can be expressed as

Total money spent on buying x bag of chips = $2.99 * x = $2.99 x

It is given that he can spent only $8.25 to buy bag of chips.

which means

$2.99 x = $8.25

=> x = 8.25/2.99 = 2.75

Thus he can buy  2.75 bag of chips.

But bag of chips can be only integral number as bag cannot be in fraction .

hence 2 bag of chips can bought which will cost 2*2.99=$ 5.98

Rest of the money will be left which will be 8.25 - 5.98 = $2.27

A celebrity called Wayne East has been having some money problems recently. He is thinking of investing in the greatest record in the world, and wants to know how the value will change over time. He has an exponential regression model where his predictor is time in months, and response variable is money, measured in thousands of dollars. The alpha value is 4.2, and beta is 1.03. Based on this model, how much money (in thousands) will he have after six months

Answers

Answer:

Wayne west would have $5,015 in six months

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for exponential regression model is y = αβˣ

Where y is amount of money in 1000 dollars

           x is time in months

We are given that α = 4.2 and  β = 1.03 and x = 6 months

Therefore, based on this model, y = αβˣ, the amount he would have in 6 months, y = [tex]4.2*(1.03) ^{6}[/tex]

y = 5.015 × 1000 = $ 5,015

Convert the polar coordinates to rectangular form (√2,-π\4)

Answers

Answer:

(1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert polar to rectangular coordinates, use these identities:

x = rcos(Ф)y = rsin(Ф)x² + y² = r²  

Here we were given the point [tex](\sqrt{2},-\frac{\pi}{4})[/tex] which is our (r, Ф) point

We can now plug these values into our x and y equations to convert to rectangular and find our (x, y) point

x = [tex](\sqrt{2} )cos(-\frac{\pi}{4} )= (\sqrt{2})(\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2})=\frac{2}{2}=1[/tex] y = [tex](\sqrt{2} )sin(-\frac{\pi}{4} )= (\sqrt{2})(-\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2})=-\frac{2}{2}=-1[/tex]

So our (x, y) point is (1, -1)

[tex](\sqrt{2},-\frac{\pi}{4}) = (1, -1)[/tex]

The owner of a bicycle store had a sale on bicycles (two-wheelers) and tricycles (three-wheelers). Each cycle had two pedals. When he counted the total number of pedals of the cycles, he got 50. When he counted the total number of wheels of the cycles, he got 64. Explain how you figured out how many tricycles were offered in the sale.

Answers

Let x represent number of bicycles and y represent number of tricycles.

We know that a bicycle has 2 pedals and a tricycle has 32 pedals as well.

We have been given that when the owner counted the total number of pedals of the cycles, he got 50. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]2x+2y=50...(1)[/tex]

[tex]2x=50-2y...(1)[/tex]

We know that a bicycle has 2 wheels and a tricycle has 3 wheels.

We have been given that when the owner counted the total number of wheels of the cycles, he got 64. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]2x+3y=64...(2)[/tex]

Upon substituting equation (1) in equation (2), we will get:

[tex]50-2y+3y=64[/tex]

[tex]50+y=64[/tex]

[tex]50-50+y=64-50[/tex]

[tex]y=14[/tex]

Therefore, 14 tricycles were offered in the sale.

Which best explains whether a triangle with side lengths 2 inches 5 inches in 4 inches is an acute triangle

Answers

Answer:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a helpful tool that best explains whether a triangle with side lengths 2 inches, 5 inches, and 4 inches is an acute triangle or an obtuse type of triangle. Under the Pythagorean Theorem, a certain triangle is an acute triangle if a^2 + b^2 is greater than c^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

im not sure if this helps but....

Triangle with side 2 in , 4 in and 5 in is an Obtuse angled triangle; it is not an Acute angles triangle.

How are triangles discriminated based on angles?

If all of three angles of a triangle are < 90° then triangle is acute.

If one of the angle is of 90°  then the triangle is right angled triangle.

If one of the angle is  > 90°  then triangle is called obtuse triangle.

How to identify if a triangle is acute, right angled or obtuse?

Let we have:

H = biggest side of the triangle

And let we get  A and B as rest of the two sides.

Then we get:

If A^2+B^2 > H^2  , then triangle is obtuse

Given:

Length of the sides of the triangle; 2 , 5 and 4inches

If a , b and c is sides of the triangle such that c is the longest side then;

1). if c² > a² + b² implies that triangle is Acute angled.

2). if c² = a² + b²  implies that triangle is Right angled.

3). if c² < a² + b²  implies that triangle is Obtuse angled.

We have, a = 2 in , b = 4 in  and c = 5 in

So, c² = 5² = 25

a² + b² = 2² + 4² = 4 + 16 = 20

therefore; c² > a² + b²

Therefore, Triangle with side 2 in , 4 in and 5 in is an Obtuse angled triangle. It is not an Acute angles triangle.
