Suppose we want to test the color distribution claim on the M&M’s website that a bag of plain M&M’s is made up of 10% blue, 10% orange, 10% green, 20% red, 20% yellow, and 30% brown. We select a sample of 400 plain M&M’s and found the following: Color Blue Orange Green Red Yellow Brown Frequency 30 48 55 66 70 131
Is there evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website? Use =0.05
Answer:
Calculated χ² = 13.425
χ² (5,0.025) >14.45 and χ²(5,0.975) <1.24
The given data does not fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude there is no evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website.
Step-by-step explanation:
Color Blue Orange Green Red Yellow Brown
Frequency 30 48 55 66 70 131
Expected 40 40 40 80 80 120
H0: The bag of plain M&Ms is made up of 10% blue, 10% orange, 10% green, 20% red, 20% yellow, and 30% brown
Ha: The color distribution is not equal to the distribution stated in the null hypothesis.
Calculate chi square
χ² = (30-40)² /40 + (48-40)²/40 + (55-40)²/40 + (66-80)²/80 + (70-80)²/80 + (131-120)²/120
χ² = 2.5 + 1.6 + 5.625 + 2.45 + 1.25= 13.425
The critical region for χ² for 5 degrees of freedom with ∝= 0.05 is
χ² (5,0.025) >14.45 and χ²(5,0.975) <1.24
The given data does not fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude there is no evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website.

Answer:
Apllying cos on the triangle
cos(angle)= Base/ Hyp
cos(34)= 29/ AB
AB= 29/0.8290
AB=34.98
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of AB is 34.98 units which the correct answer would be an option (D).
What is the right triangle?A right triangle is defined as a triangle in which one angle is a right angle or two sides are perpendicular.
What are Trigonometric functions?Trigonometric functions are defined as the functions which show the relationship between the angle and sides of a right-angled triangle.
Given that ΔABC
∠C = 90°
Here base = BC = 29 units and hypotenuse = AB
To determine the length of AB
Apply the cosine on the given right triangle
⇒ cos(θ) = Base/hypotenuse
⇒ cos(34) = 29/ AB
∴ cos(34°) = 0.8290
⇒ 0.8290 = 29/ AB
⇒ AB= 29/0.8290
⇒ AB = 34.98 units
Hence, the length of AB is 34.98 units

Megan has 12 pounds of cheesecake. On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. On Sunday, how many pounds of cheesecake does Megan have left?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we start with 12 pounds
On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.
On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.
On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15
On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.
On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.
On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.
On Sunday, she finally has 3 pounds.

Sherina wrote and solved the equation. x minus 56 = 230. x minus 56 minus 56 = 230 minus 56. x = 174. What was Sherina’s error?
Answer:
subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)
Step-by-step explanation:
She wrote ...
x - 56 = 230
x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*
x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification
Correctly done, the third line would be ...
x -112 = 174
This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...
x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality
x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides
__
There were two errors:
1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding
2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112
We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.
_____
* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.
Answer:
D: Sherina should have added 56 to both sides of the equation.

The table shows the height, in meters, of an object that is dropped as time passes until the object hits the ground. A 2-row table with 10 columns. The first row is labeled time (seconds), x with entries 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.6. The second row is labeled height (meters), h with entries 100, 98.8, 95.1, 89.0, 80.4, 69.4, 55.9, 40.0, 21.6, 0. A line of best fit for the data is represented by h = –21.962x + 114.655. Which statement compares the line of best fit with the actual data given by the table? According to the line of best fit, the object would have hit the ground 0.6 seconds later than the actual time the object hit the ground. According to the line of best fit, the object was dropped from a lower height. The line of best fit correctly predicts that the object reaches a height of 40 meters after 3.5 seconds. The line of best fit predicts a height of 4 meters greater than the actual height for any time given in the table.
Answer: A. According to the line of best fit, the object would have hit the ground 0.6 seconds later than the actual time the object hit the ground.
The statement first "According to the line of best fit, the object would have hit the ground 0.6 seconds later than the actual time the object hit the ground" is correct.
What is the line of best fit?A mathematical notion called the line of the best fit connects points spread throughout a graph. It's a type of linear regression that uses scatter data to figure out the best way to define the dots' relationship.
We have a line of best fit:
h = –21.962x + 114.655
As per the data given and line of best fit, we can say the object would have impacted the ground 0.6 seconds later than it did according to the line of best fit.
Thus, the statement first "According to the line of best fit, the object would have hit the ground 0.6 seconds later than the actual time the object hit the ground" is correct.

Find the number of pieces of floor tiles each measuring 26cm long and 10cm wide needed to lay a floor measuring 260m long and 15m wide
Answer:
150,000
Step-by-step explanation:
1 m = 100 cm
260 m = 260 * 100 cm = 26000 cm
15 m = 15 * 100 cm = 1500 cm
area of floor = LW = 26000 cm * 1500 cm = 39,000,000 cm^2
area of 1 tile = 26 cm + 10 cm = 260 cm^2
number of tiles needed = 39,000,000/260 = 150,000
Answer: 150,000 tiles
write a thirdthird-degree polynomial expression that has only two terms with a leading term that has a coefficient of five and a constant of negative two
Answer:
5x^3-2
[tex]ax^{3} +bx^{2} +cx+d\\5x^{3}-given\\ d=-2-given\\5x^{3} -2[/tex]
Explanation:
The two terms are [tex]5x^3[/tex] and [tex]2[/tex]. Terms are separated by either a plus or minus.
We can write it as [tex]5x^3+(-2)[/tex] which is an equivalent form. Here the two terms are [tex]5x^3[/tex] and [tex]-2[/tex]. This is because adding a negative is the same as subtracting.
The coefficient is the number to the left of the variable.
The degree is the largest exponent, which helps form the leading term.
The third degree polynomial written above is considered a cubic binomial. "Cubic" refers to the third degree, while "binomial" means there are 2 terms.
We can write something like [tex]5x^3[/tex] as 5x^3 when it comes to computer settings.
Musah stands at the centre of a rectangular field. He first takes 50 steps north, then 25 steps
west and finally 50 steps on a bearing of 3150
.
i. Sketch Musah’s movement
ii. How far west is Musah’s final point from the centre?
iii. How far north is Musah’s final point from the centre?
iv. Describe how you would guide a JHS student to find the bearing and distance of
Musah’s final point from the centre.
Answer:
ii. 75 steps
iii. 75 steps
iv. 106 steps, and [tex]315^{0}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Musah's starting point be A, his waiting point after taking 50 steps northward and 25 steps westward be B, and his stopping point be C.
ii. From the second attachment, Musah's distance due west from A to C (AD) can be determined as;
bearing at B = [tex]315^{0}[/tex], therefore <BCD = [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
To determine distance AB,
[tex]/AB/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/50/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/25/^{2}[/tex]
= 25000 + 625
= 3125
AB = [tex]\sqrt{3125}[/tex]
= 55.90
AB ≅ 56 steps
Thus, AC = 50 steps + 56 steps
= 106 steps
From ΔACD,
Sin [tex]45^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{106}[/tex]
⇒ x = 106 × Sin [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
= 74.9533
≅ 75 steps
Musah's distance west from centre to final point is 75 steps
iii. From the secon attachment, Musah's distance north, y, can be determined by;
Cos [tex]45^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y}{106}[/tex]
⇒ y = 106 × Cos [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
= 74.9533
≅ 75 steps
Musah's distance north from centre to final point is 75 steps.
iv. Musah's distance from centre to final point is AC = AB + BC
= 50 steps + 56 steps
= 106 steps
From ΔACD,
Tan θ = [tex]\frac{75}{75}[/tex]
= 1.0
θ = [tex]Tan^{-1}[/tex] 1.0
= [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
Musah's bearing from centre to final point = [tex]45^{0}[/tex] + [tex]270^{0}[/tex]
= [tex]315^{0}[/tex]

Answer:
Low Q1 Median Q3 High
6 9 11 12.5 14
The interquartile range = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Consider the following ordered data. 6 9 9 10 11 11 12 13 14
From the above dataset, the highest value = 14 and the lowest value = 6
The median is the middle number = 11
For Q1, i.e the median of the lower half
we have the ordered data = 6, 9, 9, 10
here , we have to values as the middle number , n order to determine the median, the mean will be the mean average of the two middle numbers.
i.e
median = [tex]\dfrac{9+9}{2}[/tex]
median = [tex]\dfrac{18}{2}[/tex]
median = 9
Q3, i.e median of the upper half
we have the ordered data = 11 12 13 14
The same use case is applicable here.
Median = [tex]\dfrac{12+13}{2}[/tex]
Median = [tex]\dfrac{25}{2}[/tex]
Median = 12.5
Low Q1 Median Q3 High
6 9 11 12.5 14
The interquartile range = Q3 - Q1
The interquartile range = 12.5 - 9
The interquartile range = 3.5

What is the shape of the distribution?
Answer:
The distribution is positively skewed.
Step-by-step explanation:
A measure of skewness is defined in such a way that the measure should always be zero when the distribution is symmetric and measure should be a pure number i.e independent of origin and units of measurement.
The shape of the distribution can be found by finding the coefficient of skewness.
The coefficient of skewness can be found by
Sk= 3(Mean-Median)/ Standard Deviation
Sk= 3( 50-40)5= 30/5=6
The shape will be positively skewed.
In a positively skewed distribution the mean > median > mode. It has a long right tail.
Using the skewness formula, it is found that the distribution is right-skewed.
------------------
The skewness of a data-set with mean M, median [tex]M_e[/tex] and standard deviation s is given by:[tex]S = \frac{3(M - M_e)}{s}[/tex]
If |S| < 0.5, the distribution is said to be symmetric.If S <-0.5, the distribution is left-skewed.If S > 0.5, the distribution is right-skewed.------------------
Mean of 50, thus, [tex]M = 50[/tex]Median of 40, thus [tex]M_e = 40[/tex]Standard deviation of 5, thus, [tex]s = 5[/tex]The coefficient is:
[tex]S = \frac{3(M - M_e)}{s} = \frac{3(50 - 40)}{5} = \frac{30}{5} = 6[/tex]
Thus, the distribution is right-skewed.

. A discount brokerage selected a random sample of 64 customers and reviewed the value of their accounts. The mean was $32,000 with a population standard deviation of $8,200. What is a 90% confidence interval for the mean account value of the population of customers
Answer:
The 90% confidence interval is [tex]\$ \ 30313.9< \mu < \$ \ 33686.13[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 64
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$ 32, 000[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma= \$ 8, 200[/tex]
Given that the confidence interval is 90% then the level of significance is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 10 \%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table , the value is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 1.645 * \frac{ 8200 }{ \sqrt{64} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 1686.13[/tex]
The 90% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

The chart shows a certain city's population by age. Assume that the selections are independent events. If 8 residents of this city are selected at random, find the probability that the first 2 are 65 or older, the next 3 are 25-44 years old, the next 2 are 24 or younger, and the last is 45-64 years old.
Answer:
0.000014
Step-by-step explanation:
The chart is not provided so i will use an example chart to explain the answer. Here is a sample chart:
City X's Population by Age
0-24 years old 33%
25-44 years old 22%
45-64 years old 21%
65 or older 24%
In order to find probability of independent events we find the probability of each event occurring separately and then multiply the calculated probabilities together in the following way:
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
probability that the first 2 are 65 or older
Let A be the event that the first 2 are 65 or older
The probability of 65 or older 24% i.e. 0.24
So the probability that first 2 are 65 or older is:
0.24(select resident 1) * 0.24(select resident 2)
P(A) = 0.24 * 0.24
= 0.0576
P(A) = 0.0576
probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old
Let B be the event that the next 3 are 25-44 years old
25-44 years old 22% i.e. 0.22
So the probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old is:
0.22 * 0.22* 0.22
P(B) = 0.22 * 0.22 * 0.22
= 0.010648
P(B) = 0.010648
probability that next 2 are 24 or younger
Let C be the event that the next 2 are 24 or younger
0-24 years old 33% i.e. 0.33
So the probability that the next 2 are 24 or younger is:
0.33 * 0.33
P(C) = 0.33 * 0.33
= 0.1089
P(C) = 0.1089
probability that last is 45-64 years old
Let D be the event that last is 45-64 years old
45-64 years old 21% i.e. 0.21
So the probability that last is 45-64 years old is:
0.21
P(D) = 0.21
So probability of these independent events is computed as:
P(A and B and C and D) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C) * P(C)
= 0.0576 * 0.010648 * 0.1089 * 0.21
= 0.000014

x^2+y^2 = -4
x^2+y^2 = 4
x^2+y^2 = -4y
Answer:
x^2 +y^2 = 4y
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the usual translation relations, we have ...
r^2 = x^2+y^2
x = r·cos(θ)
y = r·sin(θ)
Substituting for sin(θ) the equation becomes ...
r = 4sin(θ)
r = 4(y/r)
r^2 = 4y
Then, substituting for r^2 we get ...
x^2 +y^2 = 4y . . . . . matches the first choice
If f(x)=ax+b/x and f(1)=1 and f(2)=5, what is the value of A and B?
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{a=9 ; b = -8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{ax+b}{x}[/tex]
Putting x = 1
=> [tex]f(1) = \frac{a(1)+b}{1}[/tex]
Given that f(1) = 1
=> [tex]1 = a + b[/tex]
=> [tex]a+b = 1[/tex] -------------------(1)
Now,
Putting x = 2
=> [tex]f(2) = \frac{a(2)+b}{2}[/tex]
Given that f(2) = 5
=> [tex]5 = \frac{2a+b}{2}[/tex]
=> [tex]2a+b = 5*2[/tex]
=> [tex]2a+b = 10[/tex] ----------------(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1)
[tex]a+b-(2a+b) = 1-10\\a+b-2a-b = -9\\a-2a = -9\\-a = -9\\a = 9[/tex]
For b , Put a = 9 in equation (1)
[tex]9+b = 1\\Subtracting \ both \ sides \ by \ 9\\b = 1-9\\b = -8[/tex]
What is the difference? Complete the equation. -1 2/5 - (-4/5) = ?
Answer:
First convert them which will be
-7/5 - (-4/5)
so when you subtract a negative number from negative number they actually subtract ex = -4-(-2) = -2
so its simply 7/5-4/5 then add a negative sign
so
3/5
now add negative sign so
-3/5
The head of a computer science department is interested in estimating the proportion of students entering the department who will choose the new computer engineering option. Suppose there is not information about the proportion of students who might choose the option. What size sample should the department head take if he wants to be 95% confident that the estimate is within 0.10 of the true proportion
Answer:
96
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
At 95% Confidence interval level,Level of significance [tex]\alpha[/tex] 0.05, the value of Z from the standard normal tables = 1.96
Margin of Error = 0.10
Let assume that the estimated proportion = 0.5
therefore; the sample size n can be determined by using the formula: [tex]n =(\dfrac{Z}{E})^2 \times p\times (1-p)[/tex]
[tex]n =(\dfrac{1.96}{0.1})^2 \times 0.5\times (1-0.5)[/tex]
[tex]n =(19.6)^2 \times 0.5\times (0.5)[/tex]
n = 96.04
n [tex]\approx[/tex] 96
