Answer:

Rate of jogging is 4.6 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel jogs 20 feet in 3 seconds and we have to find the rate of jogging in miles per hour.

Since 1 feet = 0.000189394 miles

Therefore, 20 feet = 0.0037879 miles

Similarly, 1 second = \frac{1}{3600} hour

Therefor, 3 seconds = \frac{3}{3600}

                                  = \frac{1}{1200} hours

Formula to calculate the rate = \frac{\text{Total distance of jogging}}{\text{Time taken to cover the distance}}

                                                = \frac{0.0037879}{\frac{1}{1200} }                                                        

                                                = 1200 × 0.0037879

                                                = 4.545

                                                ≈ 4.6 miles per hour

Therefore, rate of jogging is 4.6 miles per hour.

A 5-digit combination lock with digits 0-9 can be opened only if a correct combination of digits is chosen. Find the probability
sammy [17]

The total number of combinations without restrictions is

10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 100000

Problem A

10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6  = 30240

the number of ways the combination can be set up with no repetition.

The probability of such an event is P = 30240 / 100000 = 0.3024

Problem B

The number of ways that can be done with repetition and no zeros is

9 * 9 * 9 * 9 * 9 = 59049

The probability of such an event is

P = 59049 / 100000 = 0.59049

A professor at a local university noted that the exam grades of her students were normally distributed with a mean of 73 and a s
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The minimum score of those who received C's is 67.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 73, \sigma = 11

If 69.5 percent of the students received grades of C or better, what is the minimum score of those who received C's?

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.695 = 0.305. So it is X when Z = -0.51.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.51 = \frac{X - 73}{11}

X - 73 = -0.51*11

X = 67.39

The minimum score of those who received C's is 67.39.

The sales price of a car is $12,590, which is 20% off the original price. What is the original price?
qaws [65]
We know that the final price after a discount of 20% is $12,590. If the original price was x, the price after discount is 80%<span> of x (</span>100%<span> - 20%). OP (original price) multiplied by (1-20/100) equals $15,737.5

(Sec. 8.4) In a sample of 165 students at an Australian university that introduced the use of plagiarism-detection software in a
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.667 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{165}}}=4.29  

The p value for this case is given by:

p_v =P(z>4.29)=8.93x10^{-6}  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.5 at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=165 represent the random sample selected

55 represent the students indicated a belief that such software unfairly targets students

X =165-55= 110 represent students who NOT belief that such software unfairly targets students

\hat p=\frac{110}{165}=0.667 estimated proportion of  students who NOT belief that such software unfairly targets students

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to check

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to check if the majority of students at the university do not believe that it unfairly targets them, and the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

The statistic for this case is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

After replace we got:

z=\frac{0.667 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{165}}}=4.29  

The p value for this case is given by:

p_v =P(z>4.29)=8.93x10^{-6}  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.5 at 5% of significance.
