João claims he can read minds. His friend Pedro asked him to guess a number he was thinking of between 1 and 7 (inclusive). João

guessed Pedro's number correctly 4 out of 9 times.
Let's test the hypothesis that João cannot read minds and therefore has a chance of
1/7 of guessing the correct number each time versus the alternative that his chance is somehow greater.
The table below sums up the results of 1000 simulations, each simulating 9 guesses with a chance of 1/7 start fraction, 1, divided by, 7, end fraction of being correct.
According to the simulations, what is the probability of having 4 or more correct guesses out of ?




Let's agree that if the observed outcome has a probability less than 1\%1%1, percent under the tested hypothesis, we will reject the hypothesis.
What should we conclude regarding the hypothesis?

It can be deduced that the probability of having 4 or more correct guesses will be 0.0296.

<h3>How to calculate the probability</h3>

From the given information, the null hypothesis is p = 1/7 and the alternate hypothesis is p>1/7. In this case, the mind reader gets a 4 out of 9 chances.

In order to test the hypothesis, simulations for 10000 cases were run with a probability of the correct answer being 1/7.

In this case, the p-value is the probability of correct answers that are greater than 4, assuming the null hypothesis is true. Here the p-value is 0.0296.

Also, the significance level to reject the hypothesis is less than 0.01. Since p > 0.01, we then fail to reject the hypothesis. Therefore the null hypothesis stands and Joao is not a mind reader.

How many solutions does this equation have? 6x+5=4x+5
Travka [436]

:\implies \sf  6x +5 = 4x +5

: \implies \sf  6x +5 -4x = 5

:\implies \sf  2x = 5-5

:\implies \sf  2x = 0

:\implies \sf  x = 0

Seems like "6x+5=4x+5" has only one solution that's 0.

Find the value of x if ∡A and ∡B are supplementary angles.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

x = 30.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are supplementary when they add up to 180°.

So we know that:

C + D = 180

Supplanting we get:

(3x-44) + (5x-20) = 180

We add up the X's.

8x-44-20 = 180

8x-64 = 180

Then we send 64 to the other side adding:

8x = 180+64

8x = 180+64

8x = 244

And then the 8 goes dividing:

x = 244 : 8

x = 30.5

The perimeter of this Hexagon is 162 cm. Each longer side measures 1 cm more than twice a shorter side. Find the length of the l
Elis [28]
Let x represent the shorter sides, then 2x + 1 would represent the longer sides. There are four short sides and two long sides. The perimeter is 162 cm. The equation: 4x + 2(2x + 1) = 162 4x + 8x + 2 = 162 8x + 2 = 162 Subtract 2 from both sides. 8x = 160 Divide both sides by 8. x = 20 The shorter sides are 20 cm in length. The longer sides are 2x + 1, or 41 cm in length. Check: 4 * 20 + 2 * 41 = 162 80 + 82 = 162 162 = 162, values check.
