The University of Florida is interested in determining if there is a difference in the proportion of male students that work ver

sus female students, so they send out a survey with a question that asks, "Do you currently, or have you, worked a job while taking classes at UF?" Out of 874 males (group 2) that responded, 396 said yes, and out of the 902 females (group 1) that responded, 489 said yes. (Males - Females) Find the point estimate of the difference in the population proportion of females that work at UF versus males.

Answer:

-0.089

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Males - Group 2:

Total number of males, n = 874

Number that said yes, = 396

P1 = 396 / 874 = 0.453

Females - Group 1 :

Total number of Females, n = 902

Number that said yes, = 489

P2 = 489 / 902 = 0.542

Point estimate of the difference in sample proportion:

P1 - P2

0.453 - 0.542

= −0.089

Find the sum of the first 30 multiples of 8.

Anna11 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of the arithmetic sequence

a1 = 8

a2 = a1 + 8 = 8+8 = 16

...

an = 8×n

the sum of the first n elements of such a series is

n/2 × (2×a1 + (n - 1)×d]

with d being the difference between 2 consecutive elements (= the added constant).

so,

s30 = 30/2 × (2×8 + 29×8) = 15×(31×8) = 3720

Answer:

d(32) = 28.80

the price Marcus pays on an item with an original price of 32

Step-by-step explanation:

d(32) = 32 -0.1(32)

d(32) = 28.8

The problem statement tells you d(32) is the price Marcus pays when the original price is 32.

A box contains 3 green marbles, 5 blue marbles, and 7 red marbles. Three marbles are selected at random from the box, one at a t

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The probability is $P(K) = \frac{ 28 }{195}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of green marbles is $n_g = 3$

The number of red marbles is $n_b = 5$

The number of red marbles is $n_r = 7$

Generally the total number of marbles is mathematically represented as

$n_t = n_r + n_g + n_ b$

$n_t = 7 + 3 + 5$

$n_t = 5$

Generally total number of marbles that are not red is

$n_k = n_g + n_ b$

=> $n_k = 3 + 5$

=> $n_k = 8$

The probability of the first ball not being red is mathematically represented as

$P(r') = \frac{n_k}{n_t}$

=> $P(r') = \frac{ 8}{15}$

The probability of the second ball not being red is mathematically represented as

$P(r'') = \frac{n_k - 1}{n_t -1}$

=> $P(r'') = \frac{ 8 -1 }{15-1}$ (the subtraction is because the marbles where selected without replacement )

=> $P(r'') = \frac{ 7 }{14}$

The probability that the first two balls is not red is mathematically represented as

$P(R) = P(r') * P(r'')$

=> $P(R) = \frac{ 8}{15} * \frac{ 7 }{14}$

=> $P(R) = \frac{ 8 }{30}$

The probability of the third ball being red is mathematically represented as

$P(r) = \frac{n_r}{ n_t -2}$ (the subtraction is because the marbles where selected without replacement )

$P(r) = \frac{7}{ 15 -2}$

=> $P(r) = \frac{7}{ 13}$

Generally the probability of the first two marble not being red and the third marble being red is mathematically represented as

$P(K) = P(R) * P(r)$

$P(K) = \frac{ 8 }{30} * \frac{7}{ 13}$

=> $P(K) = \frac{ 28 }{195}$

The electrical charge on a metal plate is given

Katarina [22]

Answer:

after 10 seconds the charge is 1.624

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question missed key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the orginal one.

The electrical charge on a metal plate is given by the function below, where t is the time in seconds. What is the charge after 10 seconds?

C (t) = 12 $e^{\frac{-t}{5} }$

My answer:

Given the information:

C (t) = 12 $e^{\frac{-t}{5} }$

when t =10 we have:

C (10) = 12 $e^{\frac{-10}{5} }$

<=> C (10) = 12 $e^{-2}$

<=> C (10) = 12 $\frac{1}{e^{2} }$

<=> C (10) = 12 * 0.1353

<=> C (10) = 1.624

Hence, after 10 seconds the charge is 1.624
