Answer: Question 1.1: It is 1.5 standard deviations away from the mean.

Our value of 26 is 6 units about the mean of 20. If each standard deviation is 4, we just divide 6 by 4. This gives us the number of standard deviations.

Question 2.2 The correct answer is -0.52

If we are 0.52 standard deviations below the mean, then our z-score is simply -0.52. The definition of a z-score is the number of standard deviations from the mean.

Hello!

Given the variables

X: daily hotel room rate

Y: amount spent on the entertainment

See second attachment for scatter plot.

The population regression equation is E(Yi)= α + βXi

To estimate the y-intercept and the slope of the regression equation you have to apply the following formulas:

$b= \frac{sum XY-\frac{(sumX)(sumY)}{n} }{sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} }$

a= Y[bar]-bX[bar]

n= 9; ∑X= 945; ∑X²= 103325; ∑Y= 1134 ∑Y²= 148804; ∑XY= 123307

X[bar]= ∑X/n= 945/9= 105

Y[bar]= ∑Y/n= 1134/9= 126

$b= \frac{123307-\frac{945*1134}{9} }{103325-\frac{(945)^2}{9} }= 1.03$

a= 126 - 1.03*105= 17.49

^Y= 17.49 + 1.03Xi

Slope interpretation: The estimated average amount spent on entertainment increases 1.03 every time the daily hotel room rate increases one unit.

If the room rate for Chicago is $128 (X), to predict the mount spent in entertainment (Y) you have replace it in the estimated regression line:

^Y= 17.49 + 1.03Xi= 17.49 + 1.03*128= 149.33

The expected amount spent on entertainment for Chicago is $149.33

I hope this helps!

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The outcomes of this binomial distribution that would be considered unusual is {0, 1, 2, 8}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outcomes provided are:

(A) 0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 8

(B) 0, 1, 2, 7, 8

(D) 0, 1, 2, 8

Solution:

The random variable X can be defined as the number of employees who judge their co-workers by cleanliness.

The probability of X is:

P (X) = 0.65

The number of employees selected is:

n = 8

An unusual outcome, in probability theory, has a probability of occurrence less than or equal to 0.05.

Since outcomes 0 and 1 are contained in all the options, we will check for X = 2.

Compute the value of P (X = 2) as follows:

$P(X=2)={8\choose 2}(0.65)^{2}(0.35)^{8-2}$

$=28\times 0.4225\times 0.001838265625\\=0.02175\\\approx 0.022$

So X = 2 is unusual.

Similarly check for X = 6, 7 and 8.

P (X = 6) = 0.2587 > 0.05

X = 6 not unusual

P (X = 7) = 0.1373 > 0.05

X = 7 not unusual

P (X = 8) = 0.0319

X = 8 is unusual.

Thus, the outcomes of this binomial distribution that would be considered unusual is {0, 1, 2, 8}.

A 45 foot ladder is leaning against a building. If the bottom of the ladder is 27 feet from the base of the building, how tall i

taurus [48]

Answer:

The height of building to the nearest foot is h = 36 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

Length of ladder leaning against a building, l = 45 foot

Bottom length between ladder and the building , b = 27

Now, we need to find the height of building to the nearest foot.

Let the height of building be h.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

$l^{2} = b^{2} +h^{2}$

Here, l = 45 , b = 27 and h =?

So,

$45^{2} = 27^{2} +h^{2}$

h² = 45² - 27²

h = √(45² - 27²)

h = 36

The height of building to the nearest foot is h = 36 foot
