While preparing for their comeback tour, The Flaming Rogers find that the average time it takes their sound tech to set up for a show is 56.1 minutes, with a standard deviation of 6.4 minutes. If the band manager decides to include only the fastest 23% of sound techs on the tour, what should the cutoff time be for concert setup? Assume the times are normally distributed.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The cutoff time be for concert setup should be of 51.4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Average time it takes their sound tech to set up for a show is 56.1 minutes, with a standard deviation of 6.4 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 56.1, \sigma = 6.4[/tex]

If the band manager decides to include only the fastest 23% of sound techs on the tour, what should the cutoff time be for concert setup?

The cutoff time would be the 23rd percentile of times, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.23, so X when Z = -0.74.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-0.74 = \frac{X - 56.1}{6.4}[/tex]

[tex]X - 56.1 = -0.74*6.4[/tex]

[tex]X = 51.4[/tex]

The cutoff time be for concert setup should be of 51.4 minutes.

O The sample mean weight is 16.235 ounces, and the margin of error is 0.360 ounces.
O The sample mean weight is 16.235 ounces, and the margin of error is 0.720 ounces.
O The sample mean weight is 16 ounces, and the margin of error is 0.720 ounces.

Answers

Answer:

The sample mean weight is 16.235 ounces, and the margin of error is 0.360 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sample mean, we can find the mean of the confidence interval.

(15.875 + 16.595)/2 = 16.235

To find the margin of error, that is the difference between the mean and one of the edges of the confidence interval. 16.595 - 16.235 = 0.36

The sample mean weight is 16.235 ounces, and the margin of error is 0.360 ounces

Answer:

C. We are 90% confident that the interval from 15.875 ounces to 16.595 ounces captures the true mean weight of bags of grapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the points on the given curve where the tangent line is horizontal or vertical. (Assume 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π. Enter your answers as a comma-separated list of ordered pairs.) r = 1 − sin(θ) horizontal tangent

Answers

The tangent to the curve at a point P (x, y) has slope dy/dx at that point. By the chain rule,

dy/dx = (dy/dθ) / (dx/dθ)

We're in polar coordinates, so

y (θ) = r (θ) sin(θ)   ==>   dy/dθ = dr/dθ sin(θ) + r (θ) cos(θ)

x (θ) = r (θ) cos(θ)   ==>   dx/dθ = dr/dθ cos(θ) - r (θ) sin(θ)

We're given r (θ) = 1 - sin(θ), so that

dr/dθ = -cos(θ)

Then the slope of the tangent to the curve at P is

dy/dx = (dr/dθ sin(θ) + r (θ) cos(θ)) / (dr/dθ cos(θ) - r (θ) sin(θ))

dy/dx = (-cos(θ) sin(θ) + (1 - sin(θ)) cos(θ)) / (-cos²(θ) - (1 - sin(θ)) sin(θ))

dy/dx = - (cos(θ) - sin(2θ)) / (sin(θ) + cos(2θ))

The tangent is horizontal if dy/dx = 0 (or when the numerator vanishes):

cos(θ) - sin(2θ) = 0

cos(θ) - 2 sin(θ) cos(θ) = 0

cos(θ) (1 - 2 sin(θ)) = 0

cos(θ) = 0   or   1 - 2 sin(θ) = 0

cos(θ) = 0   or   sin(θ) = 1/2

[θ = π/2 + 2   or   θ = 3π/2 + 2]   or   [θ = π/6 + 2   or   θ = 5π/6 + 2]

where n is any integer.

In the interval 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, we get solutions of θ = π/6, θ = 5π/6, and θ = 3π/2. (We omit π/2 because the denominator is zero at that point and makes dy/dx undefined.) So the points where the tangent is horizontal are themselves (√3/4, 1/4), (-√3/4, 1/4), and (0, -2), respectively.

The tangent is vertical if 1/(dy/dx) = 0 (or when the denominator vanishes):

sin(θ) + cos(2θ) = 0

sin(θ) + (1 - 2 sin²(θ)) = 0

2 sin²(θ) - sin(θ) - 1 = 0

(2 sin(θ) + 1) (sin(θ) - 1) = 0

2 sin(θ) + 1 = 0   or   sin(θ) - 1 = 0

sin(θ) = -1/2   or   sin(θ) = 1

[θ = 7π/6 + 2   or   θ = 11π/6 + 2]   or   [θ = π/2 + 2]

Then for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, the tangent will be vertical for θ = 7π/6 and θ = 11π/6, which correspond respectively to the points (-3√3/4, -3/4) and (3√3/4, -3/4). (Again, we omit π/2 because this makes dy/dx non-existent.)

Answers

Answer:

y = -x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line (m) = -1.  ( because of the -x in y = -x - 5)

y - y1 = m (x - x1)    where (x1, y1) is a point on the line, so we get;

y - 2 = -1(x - (-2))

y - 2 = -x + -1 * +2

y - 2 = -x - 2

y = -x.

a. Find P (Y1< 1/2,y2>1/4)
b. Find P(Y 1+Y2<=1)
Are Y1 and Y2 independent?

Answers

(a) The region Y₁ < 1/2 and Y₂ > 1/4 corresponds to the rectangle,

{(y₁, y₂) : 0 ≤ y₁ < 1/2 and 1/4 < y₂ ≤ 1}

Integrate the joint density over this region:

[tex]P\left(Y_1<\dfrac12,Y_2>\dfrac14\right) = \displaystyle\int_0^{\frac12}\int_{\frac14}^1 (y_1+y_2)\,\mathrm dy_2\,\mathrm dy_1 = \boxed{\dfrac{21}{64}}[/tex]

(b) The line Y₁ + Y₂ = 1 cuts the support in half into a triangular region,

{(y₁, y₂) : 0 ≤ y₁ < 1 and 0 < y₂ ≤ 1 - y₁}

Integrate to get the probability:

[tex]P(Y_1+Y_2\le1) = \displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^{1-y_1}(y_1+y_2)\,\mathrm dy_2\,\mathrm dy_1 = \boxed{\dfrac13}[/tex]

Y₁ and Y₂ are not independent because

P(Y₁ = y₁, Y₂ = y₂) ≠ P(Y₁ = y₁) P(Y₂ = y₂)

To see this, compute the marginal densities of Y₁ and Y₂.

[tex]P(Y_1=y_1) = \displaystyle\int_0^1 f(y_1,y_2)\,\mathrm dy_2 = \begin{cases}\frac{2y_1+1}2&\text{if }0\le y_1\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]P(Y_2=y_2) = \displaystyle\int_0^1 f(y_1,y_2)\,\mathrm dy_1 = \begin{cases}\frac{2y_2+1}2&\text{if }0\le y_2\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]\implies P(Y_1=y_1)P(Y_2=y_2) = \begin{cases}\frac{(2y_1+1)(2y_2_1)}4&\text{if }0\le y_1\le1,0\ley_2\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

but this clearly does not match the joint density.

Choice 2) Angle ABC is bisected by ray BD.

Choice 3) BC = 1/2 AC

Choice 5) 2*(angle DBC) = angle ABC

================================================

Explanation:

Since B is the midpoint of AC, this means that AC is cut in half to form the smaller equal pieces AB and BC

We can then say

AB+BC = AC

BC+BC = AC

2BC = AC

BC = (1/2)*AC

which shows why choice 3 is one of the answers

----------------------

Angle ABD is shown to be 90 degrees. Let's say we didn't know angle DBC is also 90. Lets call it x

(angle ABD) + (angle DBC) = 180

90 + x = 180

x = 180 - 90

x = 90

So angle DBC is also 90.

We can see that the 180 degree angle (ABC) is cut in half into two smaller 90 degree angles (ABD and DBC). Therefore, angle ABC has been cut in half and that's why choice 2 is another answer.

------------------------

Using the angle addition postulate, we know that,

(angle ABD) + (angle DBC) = angle ABC

(angle DBC) + (angle DBC) = angle ABC

2*(angle DBC) = angle ABC

Showing why choice 5 is the third answer.

------------------------

Choice 1 isn't true since ray BD helps form angle DBC.

Choice 4 isn't true because there isn't a tickmark on segment BD to indicate it's the same length as BC.

b. Cluster sampling is used because students are divided into groups, groups are chosen at random, and every student in one of those groups is sampled.
c. Simple random sampling is used because students are chosen at random.
d. Stratified sampling is used because students are divided into groups, and students are chosen at random from these groups.
e. Convenience sampling is used because students are chosen due to convenience of location.

2. What potential sources of bias are present if any. Select all that apply.

a. University students may not be representative of all people in their age group.

Answers

Answer:

1.  e. Convenience sampling is used because students are chosen due to convenience of location.

2. a. University students may not be representative of all people in their age group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Convenient: Sample drawn from a conveniently available pool.

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

Questioning students as they leave an academic building, a researcher asks 341 students about their eating habits.

Students sampled as they leave the build, which is convenience, in this case convenience of location, which means that the correct answer to question 1 is given by option e.

2. What potential sources of bias are present if any. Select all that apply.

Only members of one group are asked(university students), and this may not be representative of the rest of the population, which means that the correct answer to question 2 is given by option a.

What is probability?

"Probability is a branch of mathematics which deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event."

Formula of the probability of an event A is:

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

where,  n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes, n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space.

What is the formula of combination?

"[tex]^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]"

For given question,

a bag contains 12 red, 3 white and 1 blue balls.

Total balls = 12 + 3 + 1

Total = 16

Two balls are drawn from a bag.

The number of possible ways of drawing 2 balls from the bag are:

Using combination formula,

[tex]^{16}C_2\\\\=\frac{16!}{2!(16-2)!}\\\\ =\frac{16!}{2!\times 12!}\\\\ =120[/tex]

So, n(S) = 120

Two balls are drawn with replacement from a bag.

We need to find the probability that both are red.

Let event A: both the balls are red

[tex]\Rightarrow n(A)=^{12}C_2[/tex]

Using combination formula,

[tex]^{12}C_2\\\\=\frac{12!}{2!\times (12-2)!}\\\\= \frac{12!}{2!\times 10!}\\\\ =66[/tex]

Using probability formula,

[tex]\Rightarrow P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\\\\Rightarrow P(A)=\frac{66}{120}\\\\\Rightarrow P(A)=\frac{11}{20}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that both the balls are red = [tex]\bold{\frac{11}{20}}[/tex]

  tan(∠CAE) = 6/20

  ∠CAE = arctan(6/20) ≈ 16.7°

Answers

Answer:

Relative minimum: [tex]\left(-\frac{5}{2}, -\frac{33}{4}\right)[/tex], Relative maximum: [tex]DNE[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we obtain the First and Second Derivatives of the polynomic function:

First Derivative

[tex]f'(x) = 2\cdot x + 5[/tex] (1)

Second Derivative

[tex]f''(x) = 2[/tex] (2)

Now, we proceed with the First Derivative Test on (1):

[tex]2\cdot x + 5 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

The critical point is [tex]-\frac{5}{2}[/tex].

As the second derivative is a constant function, we know that critical point leads to a minimum by Second Derivative Test, since [tex]f\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right) > 0[/tex].

Lastly, we find the remaining component associated with the critical point by direct evaluation of the function:

[tex]f\left(-\frac{5}{2} \right) = \left(-\frac{5}{2} \right)^{2} + 5\cdot \left(-\frac{5}{2} \right) - 2[/tex]

[tex]f\left(-\frac{5}{2} \right) = -\frac{33}{4}[/tex]

__

You need to be very careful with the wording here. Kim ran 1 1/2 times as far as Adrian. That is, she ran Adrian's distance plus 1/2 Adrian's distance.

If we take the wording "1/2 times farther" to mean that 1/2 of Adrian's distance is added to Adrian's distance, then Kim is correct.

_____

In many Algebra problems, you will see the wording "k times farther" to mean the distance is multiplied by k. If that interpretation is used here, neither claim is correct, as Kim's distance is 1 1/2 times farther than Adrian's.

On the other hand, if the value of "k" is expressed as a percentage, the interpretation usually intended is that that percentage of the original distance is added to the original distance. Using this interpretation, Kim's distance is 50% farther than Adrian's. (Note the word "times" is missing here.)

__

Since Adrian ran 1 5/10 the distance Kim ran, Adrian's claim is incorrect regardless of the interpretation. If you require one of the two to be correct, then Kim is.

Hannah would like to make an investment that will turn 8000 dollars into 33000 dollars in 7 years. What quarterly rate of interest, compounded four times per year, must she receive to reach her goal?

Answers

Answer:

20.76%

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]33000=8000(1+\frac{i}{4})^{4*7}\\4.125=(1+\frac{i}{4})^{28}\\\sqrt[28]{4.125}=1+\frac{i}{4} \\i= .207648169[/tex]

which rounds to 20.76%

Answer:

About 0.2076 or 20.76%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that compound interest is given by the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

Where A is the final amount, P is the principal, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times the interest is applied per year, and t is the number of years.

Since Hannah wants to turn an $8,000 investment into $33,000 in seven years compounded quarterly, we want to solve for r given that P = 8000, A = 33000, n = 4, and t = 7. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle \left(33000\right)=\left(8000\right)\left(1+\frac{r}{4}\right)^{(4)(7)}[/tex]

Simplify and divide both sides by 8000:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{33}{8}=\left(1+\frac{r}{4}\right)^{28}[/tex]

Raise both sides to the 1/28th power:

[tex]\displaystyle \left(\frac{33}{8}\right)^{{}^{1}\! / \! {}_{28}}= 1+\frac{r}{4}[/tex]

Solve for r. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle r= 4\left(\left(\frac{33}{8}\right)^{{}^{1}\! / \! {}_{28}}-1\right)[/tex]

Use a calculator. Hence:

[tex]r=0.2076...\approx 0.2076[/tex]

So, the quarterly rate of interest must be 0.2076, or about 20.76%.

from an observer o, the angles of elevation of the bottom and the top of a flagpole are 40° and 45° respectively.find the height of the flagpole?​

Answers

Answer:

Take a look of the image below, we can think on this problem as a problem of two triangle rectangles.

We can see that both triangles share the adjacent cathetus, then the height of the flagpole is just the difference between the opposite cathetus.

Remember the relation:

Tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

So, if we define H as the height of the cliff

X as the distance between the observer and the cliff

and h as the height of the flagopole

we can write:

tan(40°) = H/X

tan(45°) = (H + h)/X

Notice that we have two equations and 3 variables (we should have the same number of equations than variables) then here is missing information, and we can't get an exact solution for the height of the flagpole.

But we can write it in terms of the height of the cliff H, or in terms of the distance between the observer and the cliff.

We want to find the value of h.

If we take the quotient between both equations, we get:

Tan(45°)/Tan(40°) = (H + h)/H

1.192 = (H + h)/H

1.192*H = H + h

1.192*H - H = h

0.192*H = h

So the height of the flagpole is 0.192 times the height of the cliff.

Answer:

x = -4   or   x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the absolute value equation

|X| = k

where X is an expression in x, and k is a non-negative number,

solve the compound equation

X = k or X = -k

Here we have |2 - 4x| = 18

In this problem, the expression, X, is 2 - 4x, and the number, k, is 18.

We set the expression equal to the number, 2 - 4x = 18, and we set the expression equal to the negative of the number, 2 - 4x = -18. Then we solve both equations.

2 - 4x = 18  or  2 - 4x = -18

-4x = 16   or   -4x = -20

x = -4   or   x = 5

Answer:

x = -5 . x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

because |4| = 4 and |-4| = 4

you can see that TWO inputs can get an output of (lets say) 4

The absolute value function can be seen as a function that ignores negative signs

so to get an OUTPUT of "18" using the absolute value function

there are really two ways of getting there

"2-4x = 18"  AND "2-4x = -18"

if you solve both of those you will find that -5 and 4 will

produce the 18 and -18

Assisted-Living Facility Rent.Costs are rising for all kinds of medical care. The mean monthly rent at assisted-living facilities was reported to have increased 17% over the last five years to $3486 (the Wall Street Journal, October 27, 2012). Assume this cost estimate is based on a sample of 120 facilities and, from past studies, it can be assumed that the population standard deviation is s = $650. a. Develop a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean monthly rent.

Answer:

[tex]CI: 3388.39<X<3583.61[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample Size n=120

Mean \=x =3486

Standard Deviation \sigma=650

Confidence interval CI=0.9

Therefore

Level of sig [tex]\alpha=0.1[/tex]

Therfore

The Critical Value from table is

Z_c=1.645

Generally the equation for Standard error is mathematically given by

[tex]S.E=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]S.E=\frac{650}{\sqrt{120}}[/tex]

[tex]S.E=59.3366[/tex]

Generally the equation for Margin error is mathematically given by

[tex]M.E= = Z_c * SE[/tex]

[tex]M.E=1.65 * 59.34[/tex]

[tex]M.E= 97.61[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]CI= \=x \pm M.E[/tex]

[tex]CI= 3486 \pm 97.61[/tex]

Lower limit

[tex]LL= \=x-M.E=3486-97.6087[/tex]

[tex]LL= 3388.39[/tex]

Upper limit:

[tex]UL= \=x+E=3486+97.6087[/tex]

[tex]UL= 3583.61[/tex]

Therefore The  90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean monthly rent.

[tex]CI: 3388.39<X<3583.61[/tex]

Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.Which word from the text best describes memories from our childhood?AnswersSpecificFamiliarAccurateJumbled Phillip || dreamed of conquering Perisa but did not do so because Characteristics Comic Strip Read the following excerpt from the story, "The Royal House of Thebes".Oedipus of course resigned the throne. Polyneices, the elder son, did the same. The Thebans felt that this was wise because of the terrible position of the family, and they accepted Creon, Jocasta's brother, as the regent. For many years they treated Oedipus with kindness, but at last they decided to expel him from the city. What induced them to do this is not known, but Creon urged it and Oedipus' sons consented to it. The only friends Oedipus had were his daughters. Through all his misfortunes they were faithful to him. When he was driven out of the city Antigone went with him to guide him in his blindness and care for him, and Ismene stayed in Thebes to look out for his interests and keep him informed of whatever happened that touched him.After he had gone his two sons asserted their right to the throne, and each tried to be made king. Eteocles succeeded although he was the younger, and he expelled his brother from Thebes. Polyneices took refuge in Argos and did all he could to arouse enmity against Thebes. His intention was to collect an army to march against the city.What is the definition of the underlined term as it is used in the passage?hatredloverespectdevotion Simplify -4|-5| - [2(-17)]1. 542. 143. -14Add an explanation on how you got the answer Which character is the best example of a tragic hero?
