Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

if, the southbound train is going at a speed of say " r " mph, since we know that the northbound one is going faster by 4 miles, than is really going at " r + 4 " mph then.

now, we know in 2.5 hours, they're 330 miles from each other, thus the southbound train has been rolling for 2.5 hours, and the northbound train has also been rolling for 2.5 hours.

if the northbound train has covered on those 2.5 hours say " d " miles, then the southbound train has covered the slack, or " 330 - d ".

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{t}\\
&------&------&------\\
Northbound&d&r+4&2.5\\
Southbound&330-d&r&2.5
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=2.5(r+4)\\
330-d=2.5r\\
----------\\
330-\boxed{2.5(r+4)}=2.5r
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
330-2.5r-10=2.5r\implies 320=5r\implies \cfrac{320}{5}=r\implies 64=r

how fast is the northbound going?  well, r + 4.

The center of a circle is (4, 6), and an endpoint of a diameter is (2, 5). What is the other endpoint of the diameter?
valentinak56 [21]
Consider this option:
1. if the point (4;6) is the centre of the circle and the point (2;5) is the first endpoint of its diameter, then point (4;6) is the middle point of the diameter (it means that is the middle between the 1st and the 2d endpoints of diameter).
2. using the property described above:
for x of the 2d endpoint of the diameter: x=4*2-2=6;
for y of the 2d endpoint of the diameter: y=6*2-5=7.

answer: (6;7)

 <span>Length of outer track = sum of length of 10 pieces = circumference of the outer circle 


if R is the Radius of outer circle then... 

Circumference of the outer track = 2pi*R 


Similarly the circumference of the inner track (with radius r) = 2pi*r 


length of each outer piece is 3.4 inch more than length of inner piece 

So total outer length is 10*3.4 =34 inches more than the inner length. 


=> Outer Circumference - Inner Circumference = 34 inches 

=> 2pi*R - 2pi*r = 34 

=> 2pi(R -r) = 34 

=> R-r = 34/2pi = 5.41 inches 

=> R-r = Width of the track = 5.41 inches</span>

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The least number of hours that she would have to work is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make the equation be "12.75x +100=235". Then, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation. You would get

"12.75x= 135". Then, divide both sides of the equation by 12. 75x, and the equation turns out to say, "x=10.59".

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

a)\chi^2 = \frac{(40-35)^2}{35}+\frac{(35-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(25-25)^2}{25}+\frac{(25-24.5)^2}{24.5}+\frac{(35-28)^2}{28}+\frac{(25-17.5)^2}{17.5}+\frac{(5-10.5)^2}{10.5}+\frac{(10-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(15-7.5)^2}{7.5} =17.03

p_v = P(\chi^2_{4} >17.03)=0.0019

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(17.03,4,TRUE)"

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that we have association or dependence between the two variables.

b)

P(E|Ex)= P(EΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (40/215)/ (70/215)= 40/70=0.5714

P(E|Gx)= P(EΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (35/215)/ (80/215)= 35/80=0.4375

P(E|Fx)= P(EΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (25/215)/ (50/215)= 25/50=0.5

P(G|Ex)= P(GΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (25/215)/ (70/215)= 25/70=0.357

P(G|Gx)= P(GΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (35/215)/ (80/215)= 35/80=0.4375

P(G|Fx)= P(GΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (10/215)/ (50/215)= 10/50=0.2

P(F|Ex)= P(FΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (5/215)/ (70/215)= 5/70=0.0714

P(F|Gx)= P(FΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (10/215)/ (80/215)= 10/80=0.125

P(F|Fx)= P(FΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (15/215)/ (50/215)= 15/50=0.3

And that's what we see here almost all the conditional probabilities are higher than 0.2 so then the conclusion of dependence between the two variables makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Assume the following dataset:

Quality management        Excellent      Good     Fair    Total

Excellent                                40                35         25       100

Good                                      25                35         10         70

Fair                                         5                   10          15        30

Total                                       70                 80         50       200

Part a

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:

H0: There is independence between the two categorical variables

H1: There is association between the two categorical variables

The level of significance assumed for this case is \alpha=0.05

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

\chi^2 = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}

The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula E_i = \frac{total col * total row}{grand total}

And the calculations are given by:

E_{1} =\frac{70*100}{200}=35

E_{2} =\frac{80*100}{200}=40

E_{3} =\frac{50*100}{200}=25

E_{4} =\frac{70*70}{200}=24.5

E_{5} =\frac{80*70}{200}=28

E_{6} =\frac{50*70}{200}=17.5

E_{7} =\frac{70*30}{200}=10.5

E_{8} =\frac{80*30}{200}=12

E_{9} =\frac{50*30}{200}=7.5

And the expected values are given by:

Quality management        Excellent      Good     Fair       Total

Excellent                                35              40          25         100

Good                                      24.5           28          17.5        85

Fair                                         10.5            12           7.5         30

Total                                       70                 80         65        215

And now we can calculate the statistic:

\chi^2 = \frac{(40-35)^2}{35}+\frac{(35-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(25-25)^2}{25}+\frac{(25-24.5)^2}{24.5}+\frac{(35-28)^2}{28}+\frac{(25-17.5)^2}{17.5}+\frac{(5-10.5)^2}{10.5}+\frac{(10-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(15-7.5)^2}{7.5} =17.03

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(3-1)(3-1)=4

And we can calculate the p value given by:

p_v = P(\chi^2_{4} >17.03)=0.0019

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(17.03,4,TRUE)"

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that we have association or dependence between the two variables.

Part b

We can find the probabilities that Quality of Management and the Reputation of the Company would be the same like this:

Let's define some notation first.

E= Quality Management excellent     Ex=Reputation of company excellent

G= Quality Management good     Gx=Reputation of company good

F= Quality Management fait     Ex=Reputation of company fair

P(EΛ Ex) =40/215=0.186

P(GΛ Gx) =35/215=0.163

P(FΛ Fx) =15/215=0.0697

If we have dependence then the conditional probabilities would be higher values.

P(E|Ex)= P(EΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (40/215)/ (70/215)= 40/70=0.5714

P(E|Gx)= P(EΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (35/215)/ (80/215)= 35/80=0.4375

P(E|Fx)= P(EΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (25/215)/ (50/215)= 25/50=0.5

P(G|Ex)= P(GΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (25/215)/ (70/215)= 25/70=0.357

P(G|Gx)= P(GΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (35/215)/ (80/215)= 35/80=0.4375

P(G|Fx)= P(GΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (10/215)/ (50/215)= 10/50=0.2

P(F|Ex)= P(FΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (5/215)/ (70/215)= 5/70=0.0714

P(F|Gx)= P(FΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (10/215)/ (80/215)= 10/80=0.125

P(F|Fx)= P(FΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (15/215)/ (50/215)= 15/50=0.3

And that's what we see here almost all the conditional probabilities are higher than 0.2 so then the conclusion of dependence between the two variables makes sense.
