Answer:

There is reason to suspect that the poll is biased.

Step-by-step explanation:

This poll is being sponsored by the Idaho Potato Commission, and the favorite vegetable was found to be the potato according to the poll. This might be seen as a conflict of interests since it is plausible to believe that the Idaho Potato Commission would have wanted the potato to be selected as the favorite vegetable. Therefore, there is reason to suspect that the poll is biased.

You finally get an allowance! You put $2.00 away in January, $4.00 away in February, $8.00 away in March, $16.00 away in April a
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$8190

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that were putting away $2 each month from  our allowance.

Jan-$2

Feb-$4

March-$8

April-$16

Ok so we already put away 4 months of our allowance from 12. So we need 8 more months to count how much.

So lets add: 2 + 4 + 8 + 16=30

Now we need to figure out how much in May and so on.

May- 16x2=32

June-32x2=64

July-64x2=128

August-128 x 2=256

September-256 x 2=512

October-512 x 2=1024

November-1024 x 2=2048

December-2048 x 2=4096

In total to add:

2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 +64 + 128 + 256 + 512 + 1024 + 2048 + 4096 = 8190

Hope this helps :)

The manager of a fleet of automobiles is testing two brands of radial tires and assigns one tire of each brand at random to the
Darya [45]

Answer:

Brand 1    Brand 2    Difference

37734       35202        2532

45299      41635         3664

36240      35500        740

32100      31950         150

37210       38015       −805

48360     47800        560

38200    37810          390

33500    33215        285

Sum of difference = 2532+ 3664+740+150 −805+  560 +390 +285 = 7516

Mean = d=\frac{7516}{8}

Mean = d=939.5

a) d= 939.5

\text{Sample Standard deviation, s} = \sqrt{\dfrac{(x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}

=\sqrt{\dfrac{(2532-939.5)^2+(3664-939.5)^2+(740-939.5)^2 ...+(285-939.5)^2}{8-1}}

=1441.21

b)SD= 1441.21

c)Calculate a 99% two-sided confidence interval on the difference in mean life.

confidence level =99%

significance level =α= 0.01

Degree of freedom = n-1 = 8-1 =7

So, t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=3.499

Formula for confidence interval = \left( \bar{X} \pm t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \right)

Substitute the values

confidence interval = 939.5 \pm 3.499 \times \frac{1441.21}{\sqrt{8}} \right)

confidence interval = 939.5 - 3.499 \times \frac{1441.21}{\sqrt{8}} \right) to  = 939.5 + 3.499 \times \frac{1441.21}{\sqrt{8}} \right)

Confidence interval −843.396\ to  2722.396

Answer: Answer is in the step.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student made a mistake by identifying the maximum point by the x coordinate value of the vertex. Minimum or maximum points are determine using the y coordinate value.The student can determine the difference between a maximum and minimum by identifying the y coordinate of the vertex.
