A fair coin is tossed 6 times. Compute the probability of tossing 6 tails in a row.

The 1992 world speed record for a bicycle (human-powered vehicle) was set by Chris Huber. His time through the measured 200 m st

Reil [10]

Answer:

a) 30.726m/s and b) 5.5549s

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) What was Chris Huber’s speed in meters per second(m/s)?

Given the distance and time, the formula to obtain the speed is

$v=\frac{d}{t}$ .

Applying this to our problem we have that

$v=\frac{200m}{6.509s}= 30.726m/s$ .

So, Chris Huber’s speed in meters per second(m/s) was 30.726m/s.

b) What was Whittingham’s time through the 200 m?

In a) we stated that $v=\frac{d}{t}$ . This formula implies that

$t=\frac{d}{v}$ .

First, observer that $19\frac{km}{h} =19,000\frac{m}{h}=\frac{19,000}{3,600}m/s= 5.2777m/s$ .

Then, Sam Whittingham speed was equal to Chris Huber’s speed plus 5.2777 m/s. So, $v=30.726\frac{m}{s} +5.2777\frac{m}{s}= 36.003 m/s.$

Then, applying 1) we have that

$t=\frac{200m}{36.003m/s}=5.5549s.$

So, Sam Whittingham’s time through the 200 m was 5.5549s.

A researcher working in a Human Resources department was interested in gender and sales figures so he conducted a t-test. The me

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$d = \frac{78.24 -66.25}{\sqrt{\frac{7^2 +7^2}{2}}}= 1.713$

For the interpretation we consider a value for d small is is between 0-0.2, medium if is between 0.2-0.8 and large if is higher than 0.8.

And on this case 1.713>0.8 so we have a large effect size

This value of d=1.713 are telling to us that the two groups differ by 1.713 standard deviation and we will have a significant difference between the two means.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The Effect size is a "quantitative measure of the magnitude of the experimenter effect. "

The Cohen's d effect size is given by the following formula:

$d = \frac{\bar X_1 -\bar X_2}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1 +s^2_2}{2}}}$

Solution to the problem

And for this case we can assume:

$\bar X_1 =78.24$ the mean for females

$\bar X_2 =66.25$ the mean for males

$s_1 = s_2= 7$ represent the deviations for both groups

And if we replace we got:

$d = \frac{78.24 -66.25}{\sqrt{\frac{7^2 +7^2}{2}}}= 1.713$

For the interpretation we consider a value for d small is is between 0-0.2, medium if is between 0.2-0.8 and large if is higher than 0.8.

And on this case 1.713>0.8 so we have a large effect size

This value of d=1.713 are telling to us that the two groups differ by 1.713 standard deviation and we will have a significant difference between the two means.

the longest side of an acute isosceles triangle 8 centimeters . Round to the nearest tenth, what is the smallest possible length

Triss [41]

Let x be the <span>length of each of two congruent sides.

</span>The triangle will be аcute if:
x² + x² > 8²
2x² > 64
x² > 32
x > √32
x > 5.657

So, the smallest possible length of one of two congruent sides have to be 5.7 cm (<span>to the nearest tenth)</span>
