Converse: False because he can live somewhere else but still belong in Hawaii

Inverse: False because he can live somewhere else but still belong in Hawaii

Contrapositive: True because Honolulu belongs to Hawaii so if he doesn't live in Hawaii he absolutely can't live in Honolulu

Suppose you take a 15 question True or False quiz and you guess on every problem. You only get 3 correct. (a) What is the probab

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

0.648

No, that is not an unusually low number of correct guesses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose you take a 15 question True or False quiz and you guess on every problem. You only get 3 correct. Then

$p=\dfrac{3}{15}=\dfrac{1}{5}=0.2$ - correct;
$q=1-p=1-0.2=0.8$ - o\incorrect.

The probability of getting 3 or fewer correct guesses is

$P(\text{3 or fewer})\\=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)\\ \\=C^{15}_0p^0q^{15-0}+C^{15}_1p^1q^{15-1}+C^{15}_2p^2q^{15-2}+C^{15}_3p^0q^{15-3}\\ \\=1\cdot q^{15}+15pq^{14}+105p^2q^{13}+455p^3q^{12}\\ \\=(0.8)^{15}+15\cdot 0.2\cdot (0.8)^{14}+105\cdot (0.2)^2\cdot (0.8)^{13}+455\cdot (0.2)^3\cdot (0.8)^{13}\\ \\\approx 0.648$

Using the criteria that a number 3 is unusually low if P(3 or fewer) ≤ 0.05, we can state that 3 is not an unusually low number of correct guesses.

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to the line y=3/4x-2 and passes through the point

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to plug numbers into point slope formula (make sure to use a slope of -4/3 since its perpendicular) and then solve for y.

The citizens of a certain community were asked to choose their favorite pet. The pie chart below shows the distribution of the c

Arturiano [62]

Incomplete Question:

The content of the pie chart is as follows:

Hamsters = 9% ; Snakes = 10% ; Cats = 23%

Birds = 21% ; Dogs = 26% ; Fish = 11%

Answer:

The number of citizens who chose cat or fish is 47,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of citizens = 140,000

Required

Determine the number of those that chose fish or cats

First, we need to calculate the percentage of those whose pets are either cats or fish

$Percentage = Cat + Fish$

Substitute 23% for cat and 11% for fish

$Percentage = 23\% + 11\%$

$Percentage = 34\%$

Next, is to multiply the calculated percentage by the number of citizens

$Cat\ or\ Fish = Percentage * Number\ of\ Citizens$

$Cat\ or\ Fish = 34\% * 140000$

$Cat\ or\ fish = 47600$

Hence, the number of citizens who chose cat or fish is 47,600

A person standing on level ground is 2000 feet away from the foot of a 420-foot-tall building, as shown in the accompanying diag

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the tangent of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side. Therefore, the tangent of angle x is 420/2000=0.21. Taking the arctangent of that to get the angle, you get about 12 degrees. Hope this helps!

An SRS of 350 high school seniors gained an average of x¯=21 points in their second attempt at the SAT Mathematics exam. Assume

Lynna [10]

Answer:

a) $21-2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=13.83$

$21+2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=28.17$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (13.83;28.17)

b) $ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=7.17$

c) $ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{100}}=13.42$

d) D. Decreasing the sample size increases the margin of error, provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Part a

$\bar X=21$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=52$ represent the population standard deviation

n=350 represent the sample size

99% confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$21-2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=13.83$

$21+2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=28.17$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (13.83;28.17)

Part b

The margin of error is given by:

$ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=7.17$

Part c

The margin of error is given by:

$ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{100}}=13.42$

Part d

As we can see when we reduce the sample size we increase the margin of error so the best option for this case is:

D. Decreasing the sample size increases the margin of error, provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same.
