Answer: Yes, he makes a reasonable inference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students = 60

Number of chosen science students = 12

Percentage of students who chose science is given by

12/60 x 100

= 1/5 x 100

= 20%

Since Mr. Rodriguez used the data to draw the inference that about 20% of middle school students prefer to read science fiction.

So yes, he makes a reasonable inference.

Answer:

Mr. Rodriguez made a reasonable estimate for the approximate percentage of students that prefer science fiction, because if 12/60 is equivalent to 30/150 which refers to the number of students who can be assumed to prefer science Fiction out of the whole school. Considering we need to identify what 30/150 as a percentage is, we can reduce it down to 1/5 to make I easier, then divide 1 by 5 to get .2

.2 as a percentage is 20%, so his inference was indeed reasonable

Which of the following ordered pairs belongs to the graph of f(x)
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The second choice, (-1,\, 12).

Step-by-step explanation:

Note, that the expression y = f(x) is an equation. A point (x,\, y) is on the graph of y = f(x)\! if and only if the value of x and y satisfy this equation; that is: in other words, the y\!-coordinate of that point (the second number in the tuple) should be equal to f(x), which is equal to (-3\, x +9) (evaluated where x\! is equal to the first number in the tuple.

For each tuple in the choices, calculate the value of f(x) where x is equal to the first number of each tuple. Compare the result to the second number in that tuple. That choice corresponds to a valid point on y = f(x) only if these two numbers match.

  • First choice: x = 1, f(x) = f(1) = -3 + 9 = 6. That's not the same as the second number, -10. Therefore, this point isn't on the graph of y = f(x).
  • Second choice: x = -1, f(x) = f(-1) = (-3)\times (-1) + 9 = 3 + 9 = 12. That matches the second number in the tuple. Therefore, this point is on the graph of y = f(x).
  • Third choice: x = 2, f(x) = f(2) = (-3)\times 2 + 9 = 3. That's not the same as the second number, (-3). Therefore, this point isn't on the graph of y = f(x).
  • Fourth choice: x = -2, f(x) = f(-2) = (-3)\times (-2) + 9 = 15. That's not the same as the second number, 13. Therefore, this point isn't on the graph of y = f(x).

The distribution of heights of adult males has a mean of 69 inches and a standard deviation of 4 inches. A random sample of 36 a
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

P(\bar X >70)= P(Z>\frac{70-69}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{36}}})= P(Z>1.5)

And for this case we can use the complement rule and the normal standard distribution of excel and we got:

P(Z>1.5)=1-P(Z,1.5) = 1-0.933=0.0668

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(69,4)  

Where \mu=69 and \sigma=4

And we select a sample size of n =70

From the central limit theorem  (n>30)we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we want to find this probability:

P(\bar X >70)

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z= \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And using this formula we got:

P(\bar X >70)= P(Z>\frac{70-69}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{36}}})= P(Z>1.5)

And for this case we can use the complement rule and the normal standard distribution of excel and we got:

P(Z>1.5)=1-P(Z,1.5) = 1-0.933=0.0668

Find the values of both x and y?
dlinn [17]

Answer: \\ 2x + 3y = 12 \: \vee \: 30x + 11y = 112 \\\Leftrightarrow 30x + 45y = 180 \: (1)\: \vee \:30x + 11y = 112 \: (2) \\ (1) - (2)\Rightarrow 34y = 68\Rightarrow y = 2 \\ 2x  + 3 \times 2 = 12\Rightarrow x = 3
