Answer:

Nathan earned 100 points. he lost the trivia game by 5 points.

Step-by-step explanation

3\frac{1}{3} * 33 = 110 points earned

\frac{1}{2} * 20 = 10 points lost

110-10 = 100

Nathan earned 100 points. he lost the trivia game by 5 points.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of cancer diagnoses between the two groups is (0.3834, 0.5166).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction between normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

The randomly sampled 400 dogs from homes where an herbicide was used on a regular basis, diagnosing lymphoma in 230 of them.

This means that:

p_h = \frac{230}{400} = 0.575, s_h = \sqrt{\frac{0.575*0.425}{400}} = 0.0247

Of 200 dogs randomly sampled from homes where no herbicides were used, only 25 were found to have lymphoma.

This means that:

p_n = \frac{25}{200} = 0.125, s_n = \sqrt{\frac{0.125*0.875}{200}} = 0.0234

Distribution of the difference:

p = p_h - p_n = 0.575 - 0.125 = 0.45

s = \sqrt{s_h^2+s_n^2} = \sqrt{0.0247^2 + 0.0234^2} = 0.034

Confidence interval:

The confidence interval is:

p \pm zs

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower bound is 0.45 - 1.96(0.034) = 0.3834

The upper bound is 0.45 + 1.96(0.034) = 0.5166

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of cancer diagnoses between the two groups is (0.3834, 0.5166).

If you place a 24-foot ladder against the top of a 22-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bot
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the knowns

a² + 22² = 24²

Subtract 22² from both sides

a² = 24² - 22²

a² = 576 - 484

a² = 92

Take the square root of both sides

a = 9.591663046625438

Rounded

a = 9.6 ft

Solve the system by the substitution method.
Ghella [55]

Answer:

A) The solution set is (6,-8).

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - y = 26

-3x       - 3x        Subtract 3x from both sides

-y = -3x + 26     Divide both sides by -1

y = 3x - 26

Now plug this into 7x + 8y = -22 to solve for x

7x + 8(3x - 26) = -22        Distribute

7x + 24x - 208 = -22       Combine like terms

31x - 208 = -22

     + 208    + 208            Add 208 to both sides

31x = 186                           Divide both sides by 31

x  = 6

Plug this into y = 3x - 26 to solve for y

y = 3(6) - 26           Multiply

y = 18 - 26              Subtract

y = -8

Xelga [282]

Answer: 36+4h=60

36+4h-36=60-36

4h=24

4h÷4=24÷4

h=6

So, after the move they can spend 6 hours there. (6×4=24, 24+36=60, they will spend $60 if they spend 6 hours there, $56 if they spend 5 hours there and don't want to spend $60).
