Answer:

a) 0.280

b) 0.300

c) No, preference is not independent of gender. Since the P(N) (0.29) is not equal to P(N|M) (0.28) and/or P(N|F) (0.30), the preference and gender are not completely, statistically independent. It's very close though.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the probability that the somebody surveyed is a male be P(M)

Let the probability that somebody surveyed is female be P(F)

Let the probability that somebody surveyed picked the name-brand milk be P(N)

Let the probability that somebody surveyed picked the store-brand milk be P(St)

Let the probability that somebody surveyed picked the something else be P(So)

a) Given that an American is a male, what is the probability that he prefers name-brand milk = P(N|M) = 319/1138 = 0.280

b) Given that an American is a female, what is the probability that she prefers name-brand milk = P(N|F) = 341/1138 = 0.300

c) To investigate if the preference and gender are independent or not, we need the P(N)

P(N) = probability that an average an Average American (male or female) will prefer a nam-brand milk = 660/2276 = 0.290.

Since the P(N) (0.29) is not equal to P(N|M) (0.28) and/or P(N|F) (0.30), the preference and gender are not statistically independent. It's very close though.

the right answer is 170

Step-by-step explanation:

so the 90° angle had been divided into 2 so x is 45°

therefore 45×4 is 180 -10= 170

Determined if the graph represents a polynomial function if it does determine the number of turning points and the least degree
skelet666 [1.2K]
  • <em>The graph of f is a polynomial function</em>
  • <em>There are two turning points, namely, x = 0  and x = -2</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A polynomial function in one variable is given by the form:

f(x)=a_{n}x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots +a_{2}x^2+a_{1}x+a_{0}

Since you haven't provided any expression, I'll choose the following function:

f(x)=x^{3}+3x^{2}+3

So this is indeed a polynomial function. A turning point is an x-value where we have either a local maximum or local minimum. So we need to take the derivative of this functions:

f'(x)=3x^2+6x \\ \\ Finding \ turning \ points: \\ \\ 3x^2+6x=0 \\ \\ x(3x+6)=0 \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ x=0 \\ \\  and \\ \\ \ 3x+6=0 \therefore \ \boxed{x=-2}

Conclusion:

  • <em>The graph of f is a polynomial function</em>
  • <em>There are two turning points, namely, x = 0  and x = -2</em>
