Answer:

a. Inferential statistics

b. Descriptive statistics

Step-by-step explanation:

statistics can be categorized into descriptive an inferential statistics. descriptive statistics makes use of a set of data for numerical calculations and provides conclusion based on those numerical calculation. this data could be collected using tables,graphs, and other means of data representation.

Inferential statistics however come up with conclusions and assumptions base on a sample data.

Examples of descriptive statistics are mean, median, mode, quartile, percentile. Thus option B is descriptive.

Option A however is inferential statistics since some assumptions were made based on the effect of garlic on blood pressure.

What is the vertex of the graph of y = 1/3 (x-9)2 + 5 Question 1 options: (9,5) (3,3) (3,5) (-9,5)

svlad2 [7]

ANSWER

The vertex of the graph of
$y = \frac{1}{3} {(x - 9)}^{2} + 5$
is

$(9,5)$

EXPLANATION

The vertex form of a parabola is given by

$y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k$

where
$V(h,k)$
is the vertex of the parabola.

The function given to us is

$y = \frac{1}{3} {(x - 9)}^{2} + 5$
This is already in the vertex form.

When we compare this to the general vertex form, we have,

$a = \frac{1}{3}$

$h = 9$
and

$k = 5$

Therefore the vertex of the parabola is

$V(9,5)$

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Lacie wants to paint her bedroom walls. She gas to cover 1,165.5 square feet. About how many gallons of paint will she need? Gal

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

1. 4.66 gallons 2. 2.33 gallons 3. 1.55 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If her gallons cover is 250 square feet, the number of gallons of paint Lacie would need to cover 1,165.5 square feet of bedroom walls is

1,165.5/250 = 4.66 gallons

2. If her gallons cover is 500 square feet, the number of gallons of paint Lacie would need to cover 1,165.5 square feet of bedroom walls is

1,165.5/500 = 2.33 gallons

3. If her gallons cover is 750 square feet, the number of gallons of paint Lacie would need to cover 1,165.5 square feet of bedroom walls is

1,165.5/750 = 1.55 gallons

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

And for this case we want to find this probability:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

Answer:

Experimental probability is likely to be slightly different from theoretical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because there is a 50-50 chance, but it is unlikely to be exactly 100-100. That is just to hypothesis!

8 3/8 would be the answer because first off you would have to find the 8th of the 1/2 and 1/4. Then after you get all of them then you would add them together which would be 8 3/8.
