Super Turbo Mega Double Double Extra Credit: The Earth’s total diameter is 12700 kilometers, with the solidified, ocean-covered

crust that is at its thickest 35 kilometers wide. These massive sizes and the difference between them may be hard to imagine, so scale-model globes of the Earth shrink our tremendous planet down to a more manageable size. If the Earth’s diameter was shrunken to the size of a basketball (24.2 centimeters across), how thick would the Earth’s crust be in this model Earth, in centimeters?

Answer:

In this model, the Earth's crust would be 0.067 cm thick

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion between the Earth's diameter and the Earth's crust is 12700km/35km = 363

so

D/C = 363, where D is the diameter and C is the crust

If we solve for C having a diameter of 24.2 cm we obtain:

C = 24.2cm/363 = 0.067 cm

If 32 teams participate in a standard single elimination tournament, how many games must be played to decide a champion?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<h3>Answer: 31 games</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

  • 32/2 = 16 games will happen in round 1. Afterward, 16 teams are left.
  • 16/2 = 8 games will happen in round 2. Afterward, 8 teams are left.
  • 8/2 = 4 games happen in round 3.
  • 4/2 = 2 games in round 4.
  • 2/2 = 1 game as the final championship.

Count the number of times you divide by two and we have five occurrences of this. So there five rounds overall.

To get the total number of games played, we add up the quotients

16+8+4+2+1 = 31

----------------

Or as a shortcut we can simply subtract off 1 since 1+2+4+...+2^n = 2^(n+1)-1

We can write that rule as

\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n}2^k = 2^{n+1}-1

which is equivalent to

\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n}2^{k-1} = 2^n-1

Audryn added a $12 tip to a $68.73 restaurant bill. What percent tip did she leave? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Elena L [17]
What percent of $68.73 is $12? We can find out what we have to multiply to $68.73 to get $12. We can substitute this with "x". So then, our equation becomes 68.73x = 12. From there, you just do basic algebra. 

You should get <span>17.4596246% which can then be rounded down to 17% depending on which place you're rounding it by.</span>

A company surveyed 2400 men where 1248 of the men identified themselves as the primary grocery shopper in their household. ​a) E
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

a) With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

b) The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

c) \alpha =1-0.98=0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

If np' and n(1-p') are higher than 5, a confidence interval for the proportion is calculated as:

p'-z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }\leq  p\leq p'+z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

Where p' is the proportion of the sample, n is the size of the sample, p is the proportion of the population and z_{\alpha/2} is the z-value that let a probability of \alpha/2 on the right tail.

Then, a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper can be calculated replacing p' by 0.52, n by 2400, \alpha by 0.02 and z_{\alpha/2} by 2.33

Where p' and \alpha are calculated as:

p' = \frac{1248}{2400}=0.52\\\alpha =1-0.98=0.02

So, replacing the values we get:

0.52-2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\leq  p\leq 0.52+2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\\0.52-0.0238\leq p\leq 0.52+0.0238\\0.4962\leq p\leq 0.5438

With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

Finally, the level of significance is the probability to reject the null hypothesis given that the null hypothesis is true. It is also the complement of the level of confidence. So, if we create a 98% confidence interval, the level of confidence 1-\alpha is equal to 98%

It means the the level of significance \alpha is:

\alpha =1-0.98=0.02
