Answer:

Slope is -2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

So...

(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,x₂) →(2,2) and (-5,4)

4-2= 2

-5-2= -7

The time between arrivals of customers at the drive-up window of a bank follows an exponential probability distribution with a m

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

a) 50.34% probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less.

b) 24.42% probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

Mean of 10 minutes:

This means that $m = 10, \mu = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1$

A. What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less?

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

$P(X \leq 7) = 1 - e^{-0.1*7} = 0.5034$

50.34% probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less.

B. What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes?

$P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X \leq 7) - P(X \leq 3)$

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

$P(X \leq 7) = 1 - e^{-0.1*7} = 0.5034$

$P(X \leq 3) = 1 - e^{-0.1*3} = 0.2592$

$P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X \leq 7) - P(X \leq 3) = 0.5034 - 0.2592 = 0.2442$

24.42% probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes

Sarah claims that the thickness of the spearmint gum she produces is 7.5 one-hundredths of an inch. A quality control specialist

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$t=\frac{7.55-7.5}{\frac{0.103}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.539$

$p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>1.539)=0.158$

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

Data: 7.65, 7.60, 7.65, 7.7, 7.55, 7.55, 7.4, 7.4, 7.5, 7.5

We can begin calculating the sample mean given by:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And the sample deviation given by:

$s=\sart{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And we got:

$\bar X=7.55$ represent the sample mean

$s=0.103$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=10$ sample size

$\mu_o =7.5$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is equal to 7.5 or no, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 7.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 7.5$

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{7.55-7.5}{\frac{0.103}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.539$

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>1.539)=0.158$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis.

What is the value of the expression 12(m−23n) when m=32 and n=12 ?

Verizon [17]

are those the options? something is wrong here and I'm not sure what. I'm sorry if this is wrong, I tried my best

Answer:

-2,928

Step-by-step explanation:

12 ( 32 - [ 23 • 12 ] )

order of operations PEMDAS ( parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction )

23 • 12 = 276

12 ( 32 - 276 )

12 ( -244 )

-2,928
