I've attached the complete question.
Answer:
Only participant 1 is not cheating while the rest are cheating.
Because only participant 1 has a z-score that falls within the 95% confidence interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Mean; μ = 3.3
Standard deviation; s = 1
Participant 1: X = 4
Participant 2: X = 6
Participant 3: X = 7
Participant 4: X = 0
Z - score for participant 1:
z = (x - μ)/s
z = (4 - 3.3)/1
z = 0.7
Z-score for participant 2;
z = (6 - 3.3)/1
z = 2.7
Z-score for participant 3;
z = (7 - 3.3)/1
z = 3.7
Z-score for participant 4;
z = (0 - 3.3)/1
z = -3.3
Now from tables, the z-score value for confidence interval of 95% is between -1.96 and 1.96
Now, from all the participants z-score only participant 1 has a z-score that falls within the 95% confidence interval.
Thus, only participant 1 is not cheating while the rest are cheating.
In order for the ball to be used in the game, it must be able to meet the minimum and maximum weight requirements. These are the limits of the weight of the ball. If it exceeds the maximum limit of 16 ounces or below the minimum limit of 14 ounces, the ball will not be approved.
So, by adding 1.5 ounces, that would mean that the initial weight of the ball did not reach the minimum limit. The initial weight of the ball, denoted as x, have two possible values. The first value is the initial weight plus added with 1.5 ounces would reach 14 ounces.
x + 1.5 = 14
x = 12.5 ounces
The other scenario is when the initial weight is added to reach the maximum requirement of 16 ounces
x + 1.5 = 16
x = 14.5 ounces
From both answer, we could conclude that the initial weight has to be 12.5 ounces. If the initial weight were 14.5 ounces to begin with, there should be no need for air. It cans till be approved to be used.
Y = 1/4x - 1....the slope here is 1/4....but for a perpendicular line we need a negative reciprocal slope...all that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. 1/4....flip it....4/1.....change the sign....-4/1 or just -4. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -4. The only one in ur answer choices with a slope of -4 is D.....so ur answer has to be D.
