1.)Convert into Proportion: 3.5/1.7=x/36.5
2.)Cross Multiply: 1.7x=127.75
3.)Simplify and Solve: x=75.14

x=75.14m tall

A business school has a goal that the average number of years of work experience of its MBA applicants is more than three years.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

z=\frac{3.1-3}{\frac{2.449}{\sqrt{47}}}=0.280    

p_v =P(z>0.280)=0.390  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the height of men actually its NOT significant higher than 0.3 at 1% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=3.1 represent the sample mean

\sigma=\sqrt{6} represent the sample standard deviation for the sample

n=47 sample size  

\mu_o =3 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha 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 higher than 3, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 3  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 3  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-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:  

z=\frac{3.1-3}{\frac{2.449}{\sqrt{47}}}=0.280    

P-value

Since is a one side test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>0.280)=0.390  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the height of men actually its NOT significant higher than 0.3 at 1% of signficance.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Kindly check attached picture and explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) The tree diagram is attached in the picture below.

B.) Number less than 3 :

Event A:

A = {1HH, 1HT, 1TT, 1TH, 2H, 2T}

C.)

Event B:

B = {1TT, 3TT, 5TT}

D.)

Event C:

C = {1HT, 1TH, 3HT,3TH,5HT, 5TH}

E.)  

A' = Elements not in A = number ≥ 3

A' = {3HH,3HT, 3TT, 3TH, 4H, 4T, 5HH, 5HT, 5TH, 5TT, 6H, 6T}

Question f and G are not well formatted ;

h. Check attached picture

I) i. Are A and B mutually exclusive? Are A and C mutually exclusive? Are B and C mutually exclusive?

A and B are mutually exclusive if AnB = ∅

Check :

AnB = {1TT}

Hence, A and B are not mutually exclusive

A and C

AnC = {1HT, 1TH}

A and C are not mutually exclusive.

B and C

BnC = ∅

B and C are mutually exclusive

there are 30 flowers in a vase 2.5 of flowers are roses. 1/6 of the flowers are daisies. the rest of the flowers are carnations.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

13 carnations

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you meant 2/5 because 2.5 would mean there are more roses in the vase than there are flowers in the vase, heres how to solve this.

Understanding

Each fraction is referring to "flowers" not "remaining flowers" and as such each time we will be comparing to the total.

2/5 of the total flowers are roses. This is written in words as for every 5 flowers two are roses, which means we will multiply 2 by how many sets of five we have in 30 flowers.

(30/5) x 2 =

(6) x 2 = 12 roses

Though with fractions its written as 30/1*2/5 which is the same as (30 x 2)/5

60/5 = 12 roses

Following this logic for every 6 flowers one is a daisy.

30/1 * 1/6 = (30 x 1)/6 = 30/6 = 5 daisies

Because the rest are carnations we want to subtract the amount of daisies and roses from the total amount of flowers to find the remaining flowers.

30 - 5 - 12 = 13 carnations

Hope this helps,
