You score a 65% on your AP Statistics Exam and a 78% on your Economics Exam. The AP Statistics scores were normally distributed with an average of 60% and a standard deviation of 6%. The Economics scores were also normally distributed with an average of 75% and standard deviation of 2.5%. In which class did you perform better relative to the class average? Be sure to justify your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

His economics grade had a higher z-score, so you performed better relative to the class average in economics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In which class did you perform better relative to the class average?

In whichever class you had the higher z-score.

Statistics:

Scored 65, mean 60, standard deviation 6. So [tex]X = 65, \mu = 60, \sigma = 6[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{65 - 60}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.83[/tex]

Economics:

Scored 78, Mean 75, Standard deviation 2.5. So [tex]X = 78, \mu = 75, \sigma = 2.5[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{78 - 75}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.2[/tex]

His economics grade had a higher z-score, so you performed better relative to the class average in economics.

A local eat-in pizza restaurant wants to investigate the possibility of starting to deliver pizzas. The owner of the store has determined that home delivery will be successful if the average time spent on the deliveries does not exceed 34 minutes. The owner has randomly selected 23 customers and has delivered pizzas to their homes in order to test if the mean delivery time actually exceeds 34 minutes. Suppose the P-value for the test was found to be 0.0290. State the correct conclusion

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that the mean delivery time actually exceeds 34 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the owner of the store has determined that home delivery will be successful if the average time spent on the deliveries does not exceed 34 minutes.

The owner has randomly selected 23 customers and has delivered pizzas to their homes in order to test if the mean delivery time actually exceeds 34 minutes. Suppose the P-value for the test was found to be 0.0290.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = average time spent on the deliveries.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 34 minutes    {means that the mean delivery time is less than or equal to 34 minutes}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] > 34 minutes     {means that the mean delivery time actually exceeds 34 minutes}

Now, the decision rule based on the P-value to whether null hypothesis should be accepted or rejected is given by;

If the P-value of test statistics is less than the level of significance, then we will reject our null hypothesis.If the P-value of test statistics is more than the level of significance, then we will not reject our null hypothesis.

Here, we assume that the level of significance is 5%.

Since, the P-value of test statistics is less than the level of significance as 0.029 < 0.05, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean delivery time actually exceeds 34 minutes.

Jessica bought the ingredients to make chicken soup, and wanted to make a double batch, which would be 18 cups of soup. A quick Google search told her that this was 259.9 cubic inches. She hoped the soup pot below would be big enough. The soup pot is 9 inches tall with a radius of 3.5 inches. What is the volume of the soup pot? Answer choices are rounded to the nearest tenth cubic inch. 169.6 cubic inches 890.6 cubic inches 197.9 cubic inches 346.4 cubic inches

Answers

Answer: 346.4 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The pot can be thinked as a cylinder:

The volume of a cylinder is equal to:

V = (pi*r^2)*h

where h is the height, r is the radius and pi = 3.1416

Here we have that: r = 3.5in, h = 9in.

Then the volume is:

V = 3.1416*(3.5in)^2*9in = 346.4in^3

Identify Y, inscribed angels

Answer:

The answer is that the y-coordinate should be -3 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, look at the graph. On the x-axis, the dot is at -5, since it is 5 units to the left of the origin. On the y-axis, the dot is at -3 1/2. It is between -3 and -4, not -4 and -5. Therefore, the answer is that the y-coordinate should be -3 1/2, not -4 1/2. You can also check by seeing if -4 1/2 is reasonable. -4 1/2 would mean the dot would be more than 4 units below the origin. On the graph, the dot is clearly above the -4 mark, so the -4 1/2 must not be correct.

Answers

Answer:

12.12%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the formula is given by:

A = p * e ^ (r * t)

From here, we know that A = 200000; p = 20000 and the time we can calculate 40 - 21 = 19

if we replace we have:

200000 = 20000 * e ^ (19 * r)

we must calculate r:

e ^ (19 * r) = 200000/20000

e ^ (19 * r) = 10

19 * r = ln 10

r = ln 10/19

r = 0.1212

In other words, the rate of growth is 12.12%

Two trains leave stations 390 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 70 miles per hour while the other travels at 80 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet?
Do not do any rounding.

Answers

Answer:

Let's denote:

x: the time both trains traveled.

Then, we have:

70x + 80x = 390

=> 150x = 390

=> x = 390/150 = 2.6 hour

Answer:

2.6 hours ( or 2 hours 36 minutes).

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined speed is 70+80 = 150 mph.

Speed = distance / time,  so time = distance / speed.

So the time when they will meet

=  390 / 150

= 2.6 hours.

Two figures are arranged as shown. Which of the following can be used to the area of the figure
shaded light gray?
9

Answers

Answer:

[tex]9^{2} -x^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is shown in the image attached.

Notice that the shaded light gray area can be calculated by the difference of the bigger square and the smaller square.

The area of the bigger square is: [tex]A_{big}=9^{2}[/tex]

The area of the smaller square is: [tex]A_{small}: x^{2}[/tex]

The difference between these areas is: [tex]A=9^{2} -x^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the expression that can be used to find the light gray area is: [tex]9^{2} -x^{2}[/tex]

Additionally, the expression [tex]x(9-x)+9(9-x)[/tex] is also a right answer, because it's equivalent to the first answer.

[tex]x(9-x)+9(9-x)=9x-x^{2} +81-9x=81-x^{2} =9^{2} -x^{2}[/tex]

What is Ratio?

The ratio can be expression as how many times one number contain another number.

For example, If any bag contain 4 apples and 8 oranges then the ratio of apple to orange is 4:8 while the ratio of the orange to the apple is 8:2

How to find ratio?

Consider M denote the number student present in the Mr. Moore's class

then we have given that

M : H = 5 : 4 or

[tex]\frac{M}{H} = \frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Also we have H : W = 8 : 9

[tex]\frac{H}{W} = \frac{8}{9}[/tex]

Now multiply these two equations we have

[tex]\frac{M}{H}\times \frac{H}{W}=\frac{5}{4}\times\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{M}{W}= \frac{10}{9}[/tex]

Create a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of people the company contacts who may buy something. (Show your work. Step by step)

Answers

Answer:

The interval is (.0817, .118).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make this interval! The easy way is to go to STAT->TEST->A, 1-prop z-int, but I will show the long way.

1. Conditions

First we must check the conditions.

Randomization condition: The sample is given to be random, so we can assume independence.

Success/failure condition: Both np>10 and nq>10 must be met.

np = 1030(103/1030) = 103 ✓ nq = 1030(927/1030) = 927 ✓

10% condition: The sample cannot be greater than 10% of the population.

10n < N, 10(1030) < 200000 ✓

All conditions are met, so we can use a 1-proportion z-interval to represent the data.

2. Mechanics

Find [tex]\hat{p}[/tex], the sample proportion.

103/1030 = .1

[tex]\hat{q}[/tex], then, the probability of not p, is 1 - .1 = .9

Find z* (z star), the critical z-value.

You can do this on your calculator using 2nd->VARS->3 (or you can memorize it - it's 1.96. Winky face.) This is called the invNorm function, that takes the left side area under the normal curve. But what do we plug in to the invNorm function?

invNorm(.975) = 1.96

Plug values into the equation.

[tex]\hat{p}[/tex] ± z*[tex]\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}\hat{q}}{n} }[/tex]

.1 ± 1.96[tex]\sqrt{\frac{.1*.9}{1030} }[/tex]

.1 ± 1.96(.00935)

.1 - .0183 = .0817

.1 + .0183 = .118

(.0817, .118)

3. Conclusion

Based on this sample, we are 95% confident that the proportion of people the company contacts who may buy something is between .0817 and .118. That isn't very likely, but maybe they'll make a little profit!
