Answer: B. 0.036

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for standard error :

SE=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

, where p = Population proportion and n= sample size.

Let p be the population proportion of the people who favor new taxes.

As per given , we have

n= 170

p=\dfrac{55}{170}\approx0.324

Substitute these values in the formula, we get

SE=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.324(1-0.324)}{170}}\\\\=\sqrt{0.00129}\\\\=0.0359165699921\approx0.036

Hence, the standard error of the estimate is 0.036.

∴ The correct answer is OPTION B. 0.036

A baseball player gets 16 hits in 40 at bats. What percent of his at bats did not result
Katarina [22]

Answer:

40 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Now percentage formula

Whatever

- - - - - - - - - - x 100

Total whatever

In this case your whatever is the hits. according to the question, if i said he had 40 hits in 40, that's a 100percent. So... Your whatever is 16, total whatever is 40

16

- - - - - - x 100

40

= 40 percent

A laptop producing company also produces laptop batteries, and claims that the batteries
gregori [183]

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours. (P-value = 0).

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=4\\\\H_a:\mu< 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete: To test this claim a sample or population standard deviation is needed.</em>

<em>We will estimate that the sample standard deviation is 2 hours, and use a t-test to test that claim.</em>

<em> NOTE (after solving): The difference between the sample mean and the mean of the null hypothesis is big enough to reject the null hypothesis, even when we have a sample standard deviation of 3.5 hours, which can be considered bigger than the maximum standard deviation for the sample.</em>

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=4\\\\H_a:\mu< 4

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=500.

The sample mean is M=3.5.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{500}}=0.0894

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{3.5-4}{0.0894}=\dfrac{-0.5}{0.0894}=-5.5902

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=500-1=499

This test is a left-tailed test, with 499 degrees of freedom and t=-5.5902, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t

As the P-value (0) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours.

Find the Volume of this Octagonal Pyramid.<br> "B" represents the Area of the octagon base.
Dominik [7]

Answer:

7.06 x 10^(-7) ft 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the formula to calculate the volume of an octagonal Pyraamid as following:

<em>+) Volume of octagonal pyramid = 1/3 * Area of the base * Height</em>

As given, the base of the pyramid is an octagon with area equal to 15mm2

=> Area of the base = 15 mm2

The height of the pyramid is the length of the line segment which is perpendicular to the base - which is the red line.

=> Height = 4mm

So we have:

<em>Volume of octagonal pyramid = 1/3 * Area of the base * Height</em>

<em>= 1/3 * 15 * 4 = 20 mm3</em>

<em />

As: 1 mm3 = 3.53 x 10^(-8) ft 3

=> 20 mm3 = 7.06x10^(-7) ft 3

So the volume of the pyramid is :  7.06 x 10^(-7) ft 3

1b) Answer the following: *<br> If arc WX = 40' and arc Y Z = 92, find m23.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

m<3 = 66°

Step-by-step explanation:

<3 is an angle with its vertex inside the circle shown in the diagram. This, it's an internal angle.

The measure of an internal angle is equal to half the sum of the measure of the arcs intercepted.

Thus, the equation that shows relationship between <3 and arc WX and arc YZ is shown below:

m<3 = ½(40 + 92)

m<3 = ½(132)

m<3 = 66°
