s 29.6 years with a standard deviation of 6.35 years. Assume the distribution of the actresses' ages is approximately unimodal and symmetric. Between what two values would you expect to find about 95% of the lead actresses ages

Answer:

You should expect to find about 95% of the lead actresses ages between 16.9 years and 42.3 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 29.6 years, Standard deviation = 6.35 years.

Between what two values would you expect to find about 95% of the lead actresses ages

By the Empirical Rule, within 2 standard deviations of the mean. So

29.6 - 2*6.35 = 16.9 years

29.6 + 2*6.35 = 42.3 years

You should expect to find about 95% of the lead actresses ages between 16.9 years and 42.3 years.

Which radical expression is an irrational number? A. √ 121 B. √ 65 C. √ 36 D. √ 64
alina1380 [7]

We will verify each options

option-A:

\sqrt{121}

we can factor it

\sqrt{121}=\sqrt{11*11}

\sqrt{121}=\sqrt{11^2}

\sqrt{121}=11

so, this is not irrational.........Answer

option-B:

\sqrt{65}

Since, it can not be factored

so, this is irrational.........................Answer

option-C:

\sqrt{36}

we can factor it

\sqrt{36}=\sqrt{6*6}

\sqrt{36}=\sqrt{6^2}

\sqrt{36}=6

so, this is not irrational.........Answer

option-D:

\sqrt{64}

we can factor it

\sqrt{64}=\sqrt{8*8}

\sqrt{64}=\sqrt{8^2}

\sqrt{64}=8

so, this is not irrational.........Answer

A genetic experiment involving peas yielded one sample of offspring consisting of 420 green peas and 174 yellow peas. Use a 0.01
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a) z=\frac{0.293 -0.23}{\sqrt{\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{594}}}=3.649  

b) For this case we need to find a critical value that accumulates \alpha/2 of the area on each tail, we know that \alpha=0.01, so then \alpha/2 =0.005, using the normal standard table or excel we see that:

z_{crit}= \pm 2.58

Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=420+174=594 represent the random sample taken

X=174 represent the number of yellow peas

\hat p=\frac{174}{594}=0.293 estimated proportion of yellow peas

p_o=0.23 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of yellow peas is 0.23:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.23  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.23  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.293 -0.23}{\sqrt{\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{594}}}=3.649  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>3.649)=0.00026  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

b) Critical value

For this case we need to find a critical value that accumulates \alpha/2 of the area on each tail, we know that \alpha=0.01, so then \alpha/2 =0.005, using the normal standard table or excel we see that:

z_{crit}= \pm 2.58

Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

A 33 gram sample of a substance that's
Mazyrski [523]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume your "k-value" is the k in the exponential decay term ...

  e^(-kt) . . . where t is the number of time units

This is 1/2 when ...

  ln(1/2) = -kt

  t = ln(1/2)/(-k) = ln(2)/k

  t = 0.69315/0.1124 ≈ 6.2

The half life is about 6.2 time units.

A gas station stores its gasoline in a tank underground. The tank is a cylinder lying horizontally on its side. The radius is 5
atroni [7]

Answer:

The exact work required to pump all the gasoline to the surface of the ground is π × 5.094 × 10⁶ j

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we note that volume of a slice is given by

Length × Width × Height

Length of slice = Length of cylinder = 15 ft

Since the slice height is Δy ft thick and located y ft above the center of the cylinder, then

Width of slice = 2 × √(r² - y²)

Where:

r = Radius of the cylinder =5 ft

∴ Width of slice = 2 × √(25 - y²)

∴Volume of slice = 15 ×2 × √(25 - y²)×Δy

Mass of slice then = 42 × 15 ×2 × √(25 - y²)×Δy = 1260 × √(25 - y²)×Δy

The force required to lift the slice is the weight of the slice, which is given by

32.2 × 1260 × √(25 - y²)×Δy = 40572 × √(25 - y²)×Δy N (Newtons)

The work done by the force is the product of the force and the distsnce through which the force acts.

Work done = 40752×(10-y) × √(25 - y²)×Δy

Therefore total work done is given by

W = \int\limits^5_{-5} {40752\times (10-y) \times \sqrt{ (25 - y^{2} )} } \, dy

 

= 5094000·π J = π × 5.094 × 10⁶ j

The exact work required to pump all the gasoline to the surface of the ground = π × 5.094 × 10⁶ j
