At a large company banquet for several thousand employees and their families, many of the attendees became ill the next day. The

company doctor suspects that the illness may be related to the fish, one of three options for the main course. Because all the dinner guests had to preorder their meal, the doctor was able to randomly select and contact 80 people that ate the fish, of which 64 people got sick. The doctor also randomly selected (and contacted) 60 people that did not eat the fish, of which 39 people got sick. The doctor also knows that at least 1000 attendees ordered the fish.
Required:
a. Is this convincing evidence that the true proportion of all attendees who ate the fish that got sick is more than the true proportion of all attendees who did not eat the fish that got sick?
b. Which mistake (a Type I error or a Type II error) could you have made? Interpret the potential error in context.

Answer:

a. Yes.  This provides convincing evidence that the true proportion of all attendees who ate the fish that got sick (80%) is more than the true proportion of all attendees who did not eat the fish that got sick.

b. The mistake here would have been the rejection of the Doctor's theory or hypothesis to the effect that more attendees who ate the fish got sick than those who did not eat the fish. This is a Type 1 error.   A Type 1 error occurs when a null hypothesis is rejected when it is true. On the other hand, a Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is accepted when it should be rejected.  While a Type I error is equivalent to a false positive, a Type II error is equivalent to a false negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of attendees who ordered fish = 1,000

Sample size of the attendees who ate fish = 80

Number of attendees who ate the fish and got sick = 64 (80% or 64/80)

Sample size of attendees who did not eat fish = 60

Number of attendees who did not eat fish and got sick = 39 (65% or 39/60)

A paved walkway around a garden has an outer diameter of 80 ft and an inner diameter of 40 ft. A diagram is shown below.
k0ka [10]

Given:

  • Outer diameter = D = 80 ft
  • Inner diameter = d = 40 ft

So,

Outer radius = R = D/2

=> R = (80 ft)/2

=> R = 40 ft

Inner radius = r = d/2

=> r = (40 ft)/2

=> r = 20 ft

Area of paved pathway = πR² - πr²

= π(R² - r²)

= π(R + r)(R - r)

= π(40 + 20)(40 - 20) ft²

= π(60)(20) ft²

= 3.14 * 1200 ft²

= 3768 ft²

2x^2+2=3x complete the square i need full explaination ASAP
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

x = 3/4 + √7i/4

x = 3/4 - √7i/4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² + 2 = 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides so it equals 0:

2x² - 3x + 2 = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

x² - 3/2x + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x² - 3/2x = -1

Take -3/2 and multiply it by 1/2 then square it:

(-3/2 • 1/2)²

9/16

Add this to both sides:

x² - 3/2x + 9/16 = -1 + 9/16

Rewrite the perfect square on the left and add the terms on the right:

(x - 3/4)² = -7/16

Square root both sides to get rid of the square:

x - 3/4 = ± √-7/16

Simplify the radical:

x - 3/4 = ± √7i/4

Add 3/4 to both sides:

x = 3/4 ± √7i/4

Your two solutions are:

x = 3/4 + √7i/4

x = 3/4 - √7i/4

You can also convert to decimal if you need to (but I don’t recommend it):

x = 0.75 + 0.661438i

x = 0.75 - 0.661438i

Hope this helps!
