Answer:

at least 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>If the question was similar to the one given below </em></u>

A researcher plans to identify each participant in a certain medical experiment with a code consisting of either a single letter or a pair of distinct letters written in alphabetical order. What is the least number of letters that can be used if there are 12 participants, and each participant is to receive a different code?

<em><u>The answer would be as follows</u></em>

If we use 3 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get

4C2= 6 ways to use these letters and the comma

If we use 4 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get

5C2= 10 ways to use these letters and the comma

If we use 5 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get

6C2= 15 ways to use these letters and the comma

We need the least number of the alphabets to assign codes to 12 participants.

So the least number of alphabets is 5 because it can give codes to at least to  12 people .

Pair of alphabets + distinct letter ≥ 12

5 + 1  ≥ 12

6c2  ≥ 12

15  ≥ 12

Fantom [35]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

the probability that a randomly chosen flight arrives on time = number of flights that arrive on time/ total number of flights

Part B

The same as part A but applied for each carrier and then comparing who has the closest number to 1

Part C

total number of flights that arrives on time in PHL/ total number of flights that are on time for all airports

Part D

look for the carrier Hawaiian Airlines (HA) first and then number of flights that arrives on time for HA/ total number of flights HA has

Part E

look for OO and WN in table

add up all flights made ( all airports) for OO and WN

add up all flights on time for OO and WN

divide flights on time by all flights made

Hope this will help you. :)

A professor would like to test the hypothesis that the average number of minutes that a student needs to complete a statistics e
professor190 [17]

Answer:

\chi^2 =\frac{15-1}{25} 16 =8.96

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1 = 15-1=14

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not ignificantly lower than 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=15 represent the sample size

\alpha=0.05 represent the confidence level  

s^2 =16 represent the sample variance

\sigma^2_0 =25 represent the value that we want to  verify

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true deviation for this case is lesss than 5minutes, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: \sigma^2 \geq 25

Alternative hypothesis: \sigma^2

The statistic is given by:

\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2

And replacing we got:

\chi^2 =\frac{15-1}{25} 16 =8.96

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1 = 15-1=14

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not ignificantly lower than 5 minutes

The recursive definition for the geometric sequence is given as follows:

a_n = 3a_{n-1}, a_1 = 1.7

<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = a_1q^{n-1}

In which a_1 is the first term.

The recursive definition of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = qa_{n-1}

In this problem, we have that the first term and the common ratio are given, respectively, by:

a_1 = 1.7, q = \frac{15.3}{5.1} = \frac{5.1}{1.7} = 3.

Hence the recursive definition is given by:

a_n = 3a_{n-1}, a_1 = 1.7

HELP ASAP 25 POINTS!!!
DedPeter [7]
The diameter of a circle by definition goes from one "side" of the circle to the other "side" and goes through the center.  If we are given the coordinates of the endpoints of the diameter, we need to find the midpoint of that segment to find the center of the circle.  The midpoint formula is as follows  M=( \frac{ x_{1}+ x_{2}  }{2}, \frac{ y_{1}+ y_{2}  }{2}).  Filling in accordingly, we have  M=( \frac{-3+(-11)}{2}, \frac{-5+(-7)}{2}).  Doing the math on that gives us a midpoint of (-7, -6), which is also the center of the circle.
