Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since its a horizontal parabola opening to the right we use a formula for the directrix

 x=h-p 4p=5/4 p=5

X= -3 v(h,k)=(2,0)

Twenty-five students from Harry High School were accepted at Magic University. Of those students, 10 were offered athletic schol
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

For Athletic scholarship,

Mean = (16 + 24 + 20 + 25 + 24 + 23 + 21 + 22 + 20 + 20)/10 = 21.5

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

n = 10

Summation(x - mean)² = (16 - 21.5)^2 + (24 - 21.5)^2 + (20 - 21.5)^2 + (25 - 21.5)^2 + (24 - 21.5)^2 + (23 - 21.5)^2 + (21 - 21.5)^2 + (22 - 21.5)^2 + (20 - 21.5)^2 + (20 - 21.5)^2 = 64.5

Standard deviation = √64.5/10 = 2.54

For non athletic scholarship,

Mean = (23 + 25 + 26 + 30 + 32 + 26 + 28 + 29 + 26 + 27 + 29 + 27 + 22 + 24 + 25)/15 = 26.6

n = 15

Summation(x - mean)² = (23 - 26.6)^2 + (25 - 26.6)^2 + (26 - 26.6)^2 + (30 - 26.6)^2 + (32 - 26.6)^2 + (26 - 26.6)^2 + (28 - 26.6)^2 + (29 - 26.6)^2 + (26 - 26.6)^2 + (27 - 26.6)^2 + (29 - 26.6)^2 + (27 - 26.6)^2 + (22 - 26.6)^2 + (24 - 26.6)^2 + (25 - 26.6)^2 = 101.6

Standard deviation = √101.6/15 = 2.6

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. it is a two-tailed test. Let 1 be the subscript for scores of athletes and 2 be the subscript for scores of non athletes.

Therefore, the population means would be μ1 and μ2

The random variable is x1 - x2 = difference in the sample mean scores of athletes and non athletes.

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

x1 = 21.5

x2 = 26.6

s1 = 2.54

s2 = 2.6

n1 = 10

n2 = 15

t = (21.5 - 26.6)/√(2.54²/10 + 2.6²/15)

t = - 4.65

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [2.54²/10 + 2.6²/15]²/[(1/10 - 1)(2.54²/10)² + (1/15 - 1)(2.6²/15)²] = 1.2008/0.1039

df = 12

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.00056

Since alpha, 0.1 > than the p value, 0.00056, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, these data provide convincing evidence of a difference in ACT scores between athletes and nonathletes.

Part B

The formula for determining the confidence interval for the difference of two population means is expressed as

Confidence interval = (x1 - x2) ± z√(s²/n1 + s2²/n2)

For a 90% confidence level, the z score from the normal distribution table is 1.645

x1 - x2 = 21.5 - 26.6 = - 5.1

√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2) = √(2.54²/10 + 2.6²/15) = 1.05

The confidence interval is - 5.1 ± 1.05

This analysis provides evidence that the mean scores for non athletes is higher than the mean scores for athletes, and that the difference between means in the population is likely to be between 4.05 and 6.15

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Bimodal (Having two modes)

Step-by-step explanation:

- Symmetric distribution is a situation in which the values of variables occur at regular frequencies, and the mean, median and mode occur at the same point.

- In a negatively skewed distribution, the mean is usually less than the median because the few low scores tend to shift the mean to the left.

- In a positively skewed distribution, the mode is always less than the mean and median.

- A bimodal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with two different modes, that is, two different values with the highest and equal frequencies.

mojhsa [17]

Question is Incomplete;

Complete question is given below;

Tracy had a total of $200 to spend while shopping. She has already spent $122 on clothes. She wants to buy some video games that are on sale for $20 each, including tax. Enter the maximum number of video games Tracy can buy with the remaining money.

Answer:

Tracy can buy maximum of 3 video games with the remaining money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total money to spend on shopping = $200

Money spend on clothes = $122

Cost of each video game = $20

We need to find the number of Video games she could buy.

Solution:

Let the number of video games be 'x'.

So we can say that;

Money spend on clothes plus Cost of each video game multiplied by number of Video games should be less than or equal to Total money to spend on shopping.

framing in equation form we get;

122+20x\leq 200

Now by subtraction property of Inequality we will subtract both side by 122 we get;

122+20x-122\leq 200-122\\\\20x\leq 78

Now dividing both side by 20 using division property of inequality we get;

\frac{20x}{20}\leq \frac{78}{20}\\\\x\leq 3.9

Hence Tracy can buy maximum of 3 video games with the remaining money.
