Malcolm has been watching a roulette-style game at a local charity bazaar. The game has only ten numbers on the wheel, and every

number except 8 has come up as a winner during the last 15 minutes. Malcolm decides to bet $10 on number 8, because it eventually has to come up. In this case, Malcolm is showing evidence of…

Answer:

Malcolm is showing evidence of gambler's fallacy.

This is the tendency to think previous results can affect future performance of an event that is fundamentally random.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each round of the roulette-style game is independent of each other. The probability that 8 will come up at any time remains the same, equal to the probability of each number from 1 to 10 coming up. That it has not come up in the last 15 minutes does not increase or decrease the probability that it would come up afterwards.

Which Postulate/Theorem below would prove that the triangles shown below are congruent?
velikii [3]

Answer:

Correct answer is <em>D. ASA</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first define <em>ASA congruence</em> rule:

2 triangles are called congruent according to ASA congruence rule if 2 angles of the triangle and the corresponding side between these two angles are <em>equal </em>to each other.

In the question figure, we can figure out following conclusions from Triangles \triangle SRT\text{ and }\triangle WXY respectively:

  1. \angle TRS = \angle YXW
  2. Side RS = Side WX
  3. \angle TSR = \angle YWX  

As per the definition of option d) ASA congruence, the triangles are congruent.

A lathe is set to cut bars of steel into lengths of 6 cm. The lathe is considered to be in perfect adjustment if the average len
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

t=\frac{5.97-6}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{93}}}=-0.723    

E. -0.723

df=n-1=93-1=92  

p_v =2*P(t_{(92)}  

Since the p value is very high we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for the lengths is different from 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

\bar X=5.97 represent the sample mean for the length

s=0.4 represent the sample standard deviation

n=93 sample size  

\mu_o =6 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic  

p_v represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the lathe is in perfect adjustment (6cm), then the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 6  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 6  

since we don't know the population deviation the statistic is:

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

Replacing in formula (1) we got:

t=\frac{5.97-6}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{93}}}=-0.723    

E. -0.723

P value

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=93-1=92  

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

p_v =2*P(t_{(92)}  

Since the p value is very high we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for the lengths is different from 6 cm.

Joe owns a stock which has probability .5 of going up. This morning, he bought a ticket in a lottery game which gives him a prob
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The probability that Joe's stock will go up and he will win in the lottery  is 0.00005.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the events be denoted as:

<em>X</em> = the stock goes up

<em>Y</em> = Joe wins the lottery

Given:

P (X) = 0.50

P (Y) = 0.0001

The events of the stock going up is not dependent on the the event of Joe winning the lottery.

So the events <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> are independent of each other.

Independent events are those events that can occur together at the same time.

The joint probability of two independent events <em>A</em> and <em>B </em>is,

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

Compute the value of P (<em>X ∩ Y</em>) as follows:

P(X\cap Y)=P(X)\times P(Y)=0.50\times 0.0001=0.00005

Thus, the probability that Joe's stock will go up and he will win in the lottery  is 0.00005.
