Answer:

0.75 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this one is more simple. To find the weight of each book, You have to solve this division problem:

15/20

If you divided it the other way around, you would be saying each book weighed 1.33 pounds. That wouldn't be correct because then you would have over 20 lbs. of books, when you only have 15.

So, the answer is 0.75 pounds.

A study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. The measurements are centimeters on a pain sca
blondinia [14]

The confidence interval for mean of the "before-after" differences is \fbox{(-0.4037,1.8037)}

Further explanation:

Find the difference between the before pain and the after pain.

Difference = before-after

Kindly refer to the Table for the difference of between the before and after pain.

Sum of difference = 5.6

Total number of observation = 8

Mean of difference = 0.7

Sample standard deviation s = 1.3201

Level of significance = 5\%

Formula for confidence interval = \left( \bar{X} \pm t_{n-1, \frac{\alpha}{2}\%} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \right)

confidence interval = \left( 0.7 \pm t_{8-1, \frac{5}{2}\%} \frac{1.3201}{\sqrt{8}} \right)

confidence interval = \left( 0.7 \pm t_{7, \frac{5}{2}\%} \frac{1.3201}{\sqrt{8}} \right)

From the t-table.

The value of t_{7, \frac{5}{2}\%=2.365

Confidence interval = ( 0.7 \pm 2.365}\times \frac{1.3201}{\sqrt{8}}) \right)

Confidence interval = \left( 0.7 - 2.365}\times \0.4667,0.7 + 2.365}\times \0.4667) \right

Confidence interval = (0.7-1.1037,0.7+1.1037)

Confidence interval = \fbox{(-0.4037,1.8037)}

The 95\% confidence interval tells us about that 95\% chances of the true mean or population mean lies in the interval.

Yes, the hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing pain as confidence interval include includes the positive deviation from the mean.

1)Why is the statement incorrect that probability can be used to predict the result of an activity?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer with explanation:

→The Exact meaning of Probability is Chance.It Means ,that Something will happen or not in terms of rational numbers.

→As, Probability of an event lies between ,0 to 1, means ,the result is not Precise ,whether it will happen surely that is exactly 100% or it will not, that is 0%.Percentage of happening of anything lies between 0% to 100%.

→0 ≤ Probability ≤ 1,shows that ,if we represent it on the number line, it is Scattered from ,0 to 1.

These three reasons are enough to verify that, Probability can't be used to Predict exactly ,the result of an Activity.It is just representation in terms of rational number.

5 divided by 485 3 digit by 1 digit
victus00 [196]

Answer:

  5\div485=\dfrac{5}{485}=\dfrac{1}{97}\\\\485\div 5=\dfrac{485}{5}=97

Step-by-step explanation:

When we say "a divided by b", we mean a/b. In this case, "5 divided by 485" is a 1-digit number divided by a 3-digit number. The result is the fraction 1/97 or a repeating decimal with a long repeat.

If you want to divide the 3-digit number 485 by the 1 digit number 5, then you need to formulate the problem as "485 divided by 5". The result is 97.
