Answer: The answer is provided below

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is a diagram which consist of rectangles whereby the area is proportional to frequency of a variable and the width is equal to class interval. A histogram is a commonly used graph that is used to show frequency distributions.

The cumulative histogram is a histogram whereby the vertical axis doesn't gives only the counts for a single bin, but gives the counts for that bin and all the bins for the maller values of a response variable.

Cumulative histograms are similar to normal histograms, but the main difference is that they graph cumulative frequencies unlike histograms that graph just frequencies.

a small rocket is shot from the edge of a cliff suppose that after t seconds the rocket is y meters above the cliff where y=30t-

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Greatest height: 45 meters

Time for greatest height: 3 seconds

Height after 5 seconds: 25 meters above the cliff

Time for height of 40 meters: 7.123 seconds

Height after 7 seconds: -35 meters (35 meters below the cliff)

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the maximum height, we need to calculate the derivative of y in relation to t and then find when dy/dt = 0:

dy/dt = 30 - 10t = 0

10t = 30

t = 3 seconds

In this time, the height is:

y = 30*3 - 5*3^2 = 45 meters

After 5 seconds, the height is:

y = 30*5 - 5*5^2 = 25 meters

The time for the height of 40 meters is:

40 = 30t - 5t^2

t^2 - 6t - 8 = 0

Using Bhaskara's formula, we have:

Delta = 6^2 + 4*8 = 68

sqrt(Delta) = 8.246

t1 = (6 + 8.246) / 2 = 7.123 seconds

t2 = (6 - 8.246) / 2 = -1.123 seconds (negative value for time is not valid)

So the time when the rocket reaches 40 meters is 7.123 seconds

After 7 seconds, the height is:

y = 30*7 - 5*7^2 = -35 meters

The rocket will be 35 meters below the cliff.

Sylvia has a total of 16 trading cards: 8 superhero cards, 4 princess cards,2 villain cards, and 2 wildlife cards. what is the r

balu736 [363]

There as 16 cards, 2 of which are wildlife cards, so the ratio is 16 : 2. We can simplify it by dividing both sides by 2, so we'll get the ratio of 8 : 1.

I hope this helps! :)

Sulfur compounds cause "off-odors" in wine, so winemakers want to know the odor threshold, the lowest concentration of a compoun

aev [14]

Answer:

a) $29.4-1.96\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}=25.06$

$29.4+1.96\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}=33.74$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (25.06;33.74)

b) $z=\frac{29,4-25}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.988$

$p_v =P(z>1.988)=0.0234$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=Step-by-step explanation:Previous conceptsA confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval". 
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval. 
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean". 
Part a
Data given: 30 30 42 35 22 33 31 29 19 23
We can calculate the sample mean with the following formula:[tex] \bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}= 29.4$ the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=7$ represent the population standard deviation

n=10 represent the sample size

95% 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 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

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

$29.4-1.96\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}=25.06$

$29.4+1.96\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}=33.74$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (25.06;33.74)

Part b

What are H0 and Ha for this study?

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 25$

Alternative hypothesis : $\mu>25$

Compute the test statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{29,4-25}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.988$

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test

Since is a one side right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>1.988)=0.0234$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
