A company says its premium mixture of nuts contains 13​% Brazil​ nuts, 19​% ​cashews, 17​% ​almonds, and 8​% ​hazelnuts, and the

rest are peanuts. You buy a large can and separate the various kinds of nuts. Upon weighing​ them, you find there are 111 grams of Brazil​ nuts, 183 grams of​ cashews, 209 grams of​ almonds, 79 grams of​ hazelnuts, and 437 grams of peanuts. You wonder whether your mix is significantly different from what the company advertises.
a) Explain why the chi-square goodness-of-fit test is not an appropriate way to find out.
b) What might you do instead of weighing the nuts in order to use a
X2
test?

Answer:

A) There are no Counts

B) I'll count the number of each type of nut.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Yes, the Chi-square is not an appropriate method because the question gave us the weight of the nuts in grams and these are not counts. Whereas, the chi-square goodness-of-fit test requires that the data values are counts.

B) What i will do instead is that i will count the number of each type of nut and assume that the given percentages are also relevant for each type of nut.

A random variable can be either discrete or continuous. It is discrete it can assume only a finite number of values, or a countable infinity of values at most.

It is continuous if it can assume values in an interval, or in general, an uncountable infinity of values.

That being said, we have:

Option A is a discrete random variable, because the number of heads in 5 throws can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. So, we have finitely many possible values.

Option B is a discrete random variable, because the number you roll on a die is either1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. So, we have finitely many possible values.

Option C is a discrete random variable, because if there are n students in a class, the number of boys is an integer between 0 and n. So, we have finitely many possible values.

Option D is finally a continuous random variable, because the height of a 10-year-old can be any number (in a suitable range of course).

calcular lo que costará sembrar césped en un jardín de forma triangular de base 25 m y de altura 15m si cada metro cuadrado de c
olasank [31]

Answer:

$3,750

Step-by-step explanation:

In english:

First we need to calculate the area of the garden. As it is a triangle we calculate the area as:

area = (base*height)/2

The base is 25m and the height 15m, so the area is:

area = 25*15/2 = 187.5 m2

As each m2 costs $20, for the whole cost we need to calculate the product between 187.5 m2 and $20:

cost = 187.5 * $20 = $3,750

Total cost: $3,750

In spanish (en espanol):

Primero necesitamos calcular el área del jardín. Como es un triángulo calculamos el área como:

área = (base * altura) / 2

La base mide 25 my la altura 15 m, por lo que el área es:

área = 25 * 15/2 = 187.5 m2

Como cada m2 cuesta $ 20, para el costo total necesitamos calcular el producto entre 187.5 m2 y $ 20:

costo = 187.5 * $ 20 = $ 3,750

Costo total: $3,750

Find the mean, then subtract both the means.

0.54142857142-0.49428571428=x

x=0.047143

If estimated it is 0.05.
