Answer:

15 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio of boys and girls be 5x and 7x

According to question-

no. of boys +no. of girls =total students

5x + 7x = 36

12x = 36

x = 36/12

x = 3

Therefore,

No. Of boys = 5x =5 * 3 =15

No. Of girls = 7x = 7 * 3 = 21

Answer:

There are 6 more girls than boys in a class of 36 with a boy ratio of 5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

5:7 where 5 + 7 = 12

therefore 12 x 3 = 36

3 x 5 = 15 boys

3 x 7 = 21 girls

21-15 = 6 more girls.

Start finding the slope of the line

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{then,} \\ m=\frac{5-4}{3-(-2)} \\ k=\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}$

using one of the points find the intercept and the standard form

$\begin{gathered} (-2,4) \\ 4=\frac{1}{5}(-2)+b \\ b=4+\frac{2}{5} \\ b=4.4 \end{gathered}$

the equation of the line is

$y=\frac{1}{5}x+4.4$

I'm not sure how to get the answer to this...

andreyandreev [35.5K]

If im not wrong. The answer would be 11.6 because you need to substract b-a which gives you 5.8. Then you multiply that by 2.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (5'1, 5'2, 5'3, 5'4, 5'5, 5'6, 5'7, 5'8, 5'9, 5'9, 5'10, 5'11, 5'12)

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:5

5 feet 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

first add all of the given together and then divide what you get by the number of terms given

(5'2+5'3+5'4+ 5'5+5'6+ 5'7+ 5'8+5'9+5'9,+5'10+5'11+5'12)/12 = 5'7 11/64 inches

then divide 11 by 64 on a calculator and then round the decimal you get to the nearest tenth which gives you the answer 5 feet 7 inches.

The following data lists the ages of a random selection of actresses when they won an award in the category of Best Actress, al

Valentin [98]

Answer:

a) $p_v =P(t_{(9)}$

The p value is higher than the significance level given 0.01, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. And we can say that the true difference for Best Actresses is not significantly lower than the mean for Best Actors at 1% of significance.

b) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (-21.469;2.069)

c) We got the same conclusion as part a, sicne the confidence interval contains the value 0, we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis that the difference between the two

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

Let put some notation

x=actor's age , y = actress's age

x: 58 41 36 36 34 33 48 37 37 43

y: 26 27 34 26 35 29 23 42 30 34

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_y- \mu_x \geq 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_y -\mu_x$

The first step is calculate the difference $d_i=y_i-x_i$ and we obtain this:

d: -32, -14, -2, -10, 1, -4, -25, 5, -7, -9

The second step is calculate the mean difference

$\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}= -9.7$

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

$s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1} =11.451$

The 4 step is calculate the statistic given by :

$t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{-9.7 -0}{\frac{11.451}{\sqrt{10}}}=-2.679$

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

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

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a left tailed test the p value is given by:

$p_v =P(t_{(9)}$

Part b

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar d \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,9)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=3.25$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$-9.7-3.25\frac{11.451}{\sqrt{10}}=-21.469$

$-9.7+3.25\frac{11.451}{\sqrt{10}}=2.069$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (-21.469;2.069)

Part c

We got the same conclusion as part a, sicne the confidence interval contains the value 0, we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis that the difference between the two means is 0.
