QUESTION 1 The Senator of Azenator State, is worried about the rising numbers in high blood pressure related deaths in his Juris

diction and wants an end to this canker. A reputable medical research officer has claimed that, the situation is probably as a result of the ageing population of his State. The blood pressures, Y (mmHg), and Ages, X (years) of 10 hospital patients were sampled from Azenator State and summarized below. Patient A B C D E F G H I J Age (X) in Years 20 25 50 30 45 60 10 15 35 70 BP(Y) in (mmHg) 80 85 125 90 100 135 80 70 100 140 NB: Approximate to 2 decimal places Use the table to answer the questions that follow; i) Calculate the product moment correlation coefficient for the data and interpret your result. (3 Marks) ii) If the Senator decides to purchase and distribute Norvasc (a medicine that reduces blood pressure), based on your results in (i), which age group (youth or old adults) should be given priority? Briefly explain your answer.

Answera and Step-by-step explanation: Correlation Coefficient is the measure of how strong two variables are. There are numerous types of correlation coefficients and the product moment correlation coefficient, also known as <em>Pearson's correlation</em> or <em>Pearson's R</em> is most commonly used in linear regression. The formula to calculate it is:

r = n(∑xy) - (∑x)(∑y) / √[∑x² - (∑x)²].[n∑y² - (∑y)²]

To find the value of R:

1) Separate the values of X and Y and out them in 2 columns.

2) Add 3 more columns: for xy, x² and y²;

3) Find the values of each column;

4) Add each column;

5) Put the sum of each column in its place on the formula above;

6) Find the correlation.

i) For this question, r = 0.9645. As it's <u>positive</u>, means that the two variables are directly linked, i.e., an increase in one variable will produce an increase in the other variable in the same proportion.

ii) The Senator should distribute Norvasc to the old adults groups, because, as the <u>population grows</u>, the death associated with high blood pressure will <u>also grow</u>, as explained by the correlation coefficient.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

p hat≈N(0.34,0.0273)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information p=0.34

Number of random samples=300

The sampling distribution of p hat is

p∧≈N(0.34,\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{300}})

    ≈N(0.34,0.0273)

How many 5-member chess teams can be chosen from 15 interested players? Consider only the members selected, not their board posi
ryzh [129]

<u>Answer</u>:

3003 number of 5-member chess teams can be chosen from 15 interested players.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

Number of the interested players =  15

To Find:

Number of 5-member chess teams that can be chosen = ?

Solution:

Combinations are a way to calculate the total outcomes of an event where order of the outcomes does not matter. To calculate combinations, we will use the formulanCr = \frac{n!}{r!(n - r)!}

where

n represents the total number of items,

r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

Now  we have n = 15 and r = 5

Substituting the values,

15C_5 = \frac{15!}{5!(15- 5)!}

15C_5 = \frac{15!}{5!(10)!}

15C_5 = \frac{15!}{5!(10)!}

15C_5 = \frac{15\times \times 14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 }{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1(10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1)}

15C_5 = \frac{15\times \times 14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11}{(5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1)}

15C_5 = \frac{360360}{120}

15C_5 = 3003

Angelina wants to buy the same number of pens and pencils. Pens come in 8 packs and pencils come in packs of 9. What is the leas
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Angelina should buy 9 packs of pens and 8 packs of pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pack of pens = 8 pens

Each pack of pencils = 9 pencils.

Also we know that, Commutative Property of Multiplication states that

a x b = b x a for any two numbers a and b.

So, 8 x 9 = 72 = 9 x 8

Hence, she should buy 9 packs of pens, so she will have 9 x 8 = 72 pens.

And she should buy 8 packs of pencils, she will have 8 x 9 = 72 pencils.

ABC est un triangle rectangle en B.<br> On donne : AB = 7:BC = a et AC = a +5.<br> Calcule a
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

salut :

en utilisant le theorem de Pythagore on obtient :

AC²= AB² + BC²

(a+5)² = 7²+a²

a²+10a+25 = 49+a²

10a+25 =49

10a =24

donc : a = 24/10 = 12/5 = 2.4 unit
