In a bag of candies there are 13 red candies, 13 green candies, 13 yellow candies, and 13 blue candies. If you choose 1 candy fr

om the bag, what is the probability the candy will not be blue?

Answer:

As a fraction, the answer is 3/4

In decimal form that is equivalent to 0.75, which converts to 75%

===============================================

Work Shown:

13 red

13 green

13 yellow

13 blue

13+13+13+13 = 52 total

52 - 13 = 39 non-blue

--------

There are 39 non-blue candies out of 52 total.

39/52 = 3/4 is the probability, as a fraction, that we pick a non-blue candy.

3/4 = 0.75 = 75%

A doctor released the results of clinical trials for a vaccine to prevent a particular disease. In these clinical trials, 200,0

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

1) No, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the vaccine was effective (P-value=0.104) .

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2< 0$

being the subindex 1 for the experimental group and subindex 2 for the control group.

2) Test statistic z=-1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the vaccine was effective.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2< 0$

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample 1 (experimental group), of size n1=100000 has a proportion of p1=0.0002.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=21/100000=0.0002$

The sample 2 (control group), of size n2=100000 has a proportion of p2=0.0003.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=30/100000=0.0003$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.0001.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.0002-0.0003=-0.0001$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{21+30}{100000+100000}=\dfrac{51}{200000}=0.00026$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.00026*0.99974}{100000}+\dfrac{0.00026*0.99974}{100000}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0+0.0000000025}=\sqrt{0.0000000051}=0.000071$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{-0.00009-0}{0.000071}=\dfrac{-0.00009}{0.000071}=-1.26$

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

$P-value=P(z$

As the P-value (0.104) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the vaccine was effective.

For which function is f(x) equal to f^1(x) ( answer choices in picture )

Sonja [21]

Answer:

C. $f(x)=\frac{x+1}{x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the inverse of each of the given options.

Option A:

$f(x)=\frac{x+6}{x-6}\\y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}$

To find $f^{-1}(x)$ , replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

$x=\frac{y+6}{y-6}$

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

$x(y-6)=y+6\\xy-6x=y+6\\xy-y=6x+6\\y=\frac{6x+6}{x-1}$

The given function $y=\frac{6x+6}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}$

So, option A is incorrect.

Option B:

$f(x)=\frac{x+2}{x-2}\\y=\frac{x+2}{x-2}$

To find $f^{-1}(x)$ , replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

$x=\frac{y+2}{y-2}$

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

$x(y-2)=y+2\\xy-2x=y+2\\xy-y=2x+2\\y=\frac{2x+2}{x-1}$

The given function $y=\frac{2x+2}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+2}{x-2}$

So, option B is incorrect.

Option C:

$f(x)=\frac{x+1}{x-1}\\y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}$

To find $f^{-1}(x)$ , replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

$x=\frac{y+1}{y-1}$

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

$x(y-1)=y+1\\xy-x=y+1\\xy-y=x+1\\y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}$

The given function $y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}\ equals\ y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}$

So, option C is correct.

Option D:

$f(x)=\frac{x+5}{x-5}\\y=\frac{x+5}{x-5}$

To find $f^{-1}(x)$ , replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

$x=\frac{y+5}{y-5}$

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

$x(y-5)=y+5\\xy-5x=y+5\\xy-y=5x+5\\y=\frac{5x+5}{x-1}$

The given function $y=\frac{5x+5}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}$

So, option D is incorrect.

Therefore, only option C is correct.

Angle D and Angle F are supplementary. The measure of Angle D is (3x + 5), and the measure of angle F is (2x). What is the measu

olga55 [171]

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are called suplementary when their measures add to 180 degrees.

D+F= 180

3x+5+2x= 180

5x+5=180

5x= 175

x= 35°

angle D = 3x+5= 3(35)+5= <u>110°</u>
