What is the probability against drawing a 7 from a standard deck of 52 cards ? ( percentage% )

1 answer:

7 0

In a standard deck of cards, there are 48 cards that are not sevens. Therefore the probability of not drawing a seven is 48/52 = 12/13 (92.31%).

What is the value of x in the proportion (x - 1)/5 = (4x + 2)/35?

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. cross multiply to get

5(4x+2)= 35(x-1)

2. distribute

20x+10=35x-35

3. combine like terms

45=15x

4. divide :)

A study sampled 350 upperclassmen (Group 1) and 250 underclassmen (Group 2) at high schools around the city of Houston. The stud

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

$-0.048$

Do not reject $H_0:P_1-P_2=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Sample size $n_1=350$

Sample size $n_2=250$

Sample proportion 1 $\hat P= \frac{25}{350} =>0.07$

Sample proportion 2 $\hat P= \frac{19}{250} =>0.076$

95% confidence interval

Generally for 95% confidence level

Level of significance

$\alpha = 1-0.95=>0.05$

$\alpha /2=\frac{0.05}{2} =>0.025$

Therefore

$Z_a_/_2=1.96$

Generally the equation for confidence interval between $P_1 - P_2$ is mathematically given as

$(\hat P_1-\hat P_2)\pm Z_a_/_2\sqrt{\frac{\hat P_1(1-\hat P_1)}{n_1}+\frac{\hat P_2(1-\hat P_2)}{n_2} }$

$(0.07-0.076)\pm 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{350}+\frac{0.076(1-0.076)}{250} }$

$(0.07-0.076)\pm 1.96\sqrt{4.66896*10^-^4 }$

$(-0.006)\pm 0.042$

$(-0.006)- 0.042=>-0.048$

$(-0.006)+ 0.042=>0.036$

Therefore

Confidence interval is

$-0.048$

Conclusion

Given the confidence interval has zero

Therefore do not reject $H_0:P_1-P_2=0$

A city police officer using radar checked the speed of 26 cars as they were travelling down a city street and the data is given

pychu [463]

Answer: The distribution of the data set is positively skewed.

<u>Explanation: </u>

In order to see whether the given data set is symmetric, positively skewed or negatively skewed, we will find the mean, median and mode of the given data set.

For symmetric distribution, $Mean = Median=Mode$

For positively skewed distribution, $Mean > Median>Mode$

For negatively skewed distribution, $Mean < Median$

The mean of the given data set is given below:

$Mean = \frac{27+23+22+38+43+24+25+23+22+54+31+30+29+48+27+25+29+28+26+33+25+21+23+34+20+23}{26}$

$=\frac{753}{26}$

$=28.96$

Now, the Median is:

To find the median we need to sort the data in ascending order as:

$20,21,22,22,23,23,23,23,24,25,25,25,26,27,27,28,29,29,30,31,33,34,38,43,48,54$

$Median=\left(\frac{N+1}{2} \right)^{th} item$

$=\left(\frac{26+1}{2}\right)^{th} item$

$=13.5^{th} item$

$=26+0.5 \times (27-26)$

$=26.5$

$\therefore Median = 26.5$

The mode is the most frequently occurring observation. Therefore the mode is:

$Mode=23$

Since the $Mean >Median>Mode$ , therefore the distribution of the given data set is positively skewed.

The area of rectangle ABCD is 28 cm^2

Sonbull [250]

The length of AB is (x + 4) cm and the values of a and be are a = 10, b = 4

A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other. The area of a rectangle is:

Area = length * width

From the image:

Length of AB = x + 4

Length of BC = x + 6

The area of rectangle ABCD = Length of AB * Length of BC

28 = (x + 4)(x + 6)

x² + 10x + 24 = 28

x² + 10x = 4

Comparing with x² + ax = b gives:

a = 10, b = 4

Therefore the length of AB is (x + 4) cm and the values of a and be are a = 10, b = 4
