Answer:

Monica = 48.50

Samuel = 24.25

Kara = 17.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First you write equations as you are reading the text:

m = 2s ("Monica earned twice as much as Samuel")

s = k+7 ("Samual earned 7 more than Kara")

m = 48.50

Next, you convert these equations to solve for s and k respectively.

So, if m=2s, then s=m/2:

s = m/2 = 24.25

Likewise, if s=k+7, then k=s-7

k = s-7 = 17.25

The difference between greatest and least is 48.50 - 17.25 = 31.25

adoni [48]

Answer:

Independence and Exclusiveness are two topics which are important to probability and often confused. Discuss the difference between two events being independent and two events being mutually exclusive. Use examples to demonstrate the difference. Remember to explain as if you are talking to someone who knows nothing about the topic.

[my response: talk to them in formal language about the topic.]

If a straight line y = mx + c passes through the intersecting point of 3x - y = 8 and x+ 2y = 5 which is perpendicular to the li

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Point of intersection:

$3x - y = 8 - - - (a) \\ x + 2y = 5 - - - (b)$

2 × equation(b) + equation (a):

$7x = 21 \\ x = 3 \\ \\ y = 3x - 8 \\ y = 1$

Point of intersection = (3, 1)

Perpendicular line:

$3x + 6y - 11 = 0 \\ 6y = - 3x + 11 \\ y = - \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{11}{6}$

General equation of line:

$y = mx + c \\ 1 = (2 \times 3) + c \\ c = - 5$

Value of m:

$m \times m {}^{i} = - 1 \\ m \times - \frac{1}{2} = - 1 \\ m = 2$

Choose the best definition for the following phrase: like terms

prisoha [69]

Like terms

D) Terms that have identical variable parts.

An equation has the following parts:
1) Coefficient
2) Variable
3) Operator
4) Constants

4x + 3 = 11
4 is the coefficient
x is the variable
3 and 11 are the constants

4x - 3x + 8x ⇒ like terms ; they have identical variable parts, x.

Thirty-seven percent of all Americans drink bottled water more than once a week (Natural resources Defense Council, December 4,

lesantik [10]

Answer:

a) The sampling distribution for n=540 has a mean sample proportion of p=0.37 and a standard deviation of σs=0.0208.

b) probability = 0.99998

d) probability = 0.99874

e) You gain 0.12% in probability for an increase of 80% in sample size.

The increase in sample size is not justified by the increase in probability, for this margin of error (Δp=0.09).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have a known population proportion π=0.37 and we have to describe the sampling distribution when the sample size is n=540.

The mean sample proportion is expected to be the same as the population proportion:

$\bar p = \pi = 0.37$

The standard deviation of the sampling will be the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size:

$\sigma_s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.37*0.63}{540}}=\sqrt{0.000431667}=0.0208$

Then, we can say that the sampling distribution will have a p=0.37 and a standard deviation σs=0.0208.

b) We have to calculate the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.09 of the population proportion.

We can calculate the z-value as:

$z_1=\dfrac{p_1-\bar p}{\sigma_s}=\dfrac{0.09}{0.0208}=4.3269\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{p_2-\bar p}{\sigma_s}=\dfrac{-0.09}{0.0208}=-4.3269$

As the distribution is symmetrical, we can calculate the probabilty that he sample proportion will be within 0.09 of the population proportion as:

$P(|p-\bar p|$

probability = 0.99998

d. Now the sample is smaller (n=300), so the standard deviation of the samping distribution:

$\sigma_s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.37*0.63}{300}}=\sqrt{0.000777}=0.0279$

We have to recalculate the z-scores:

$z_1=\dfrac{p_1-\bar p}{\sigma_s}=\dfrac{0.09}{0.0279}=3.2258\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{p_2-\bar p}{\sigma_s}=\dfrac{-0.09}{0.0279}=-3.2258$

And the probability is:

$P(|p-\bar p|$

probability = 0.99874

e. The increase in sample size is 80%

$\Delta n\%=\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}-1=\dfrac{540}{300}-1=1.8-1=0.8=80\%$

and the increase in probability is 0.12%

$\Delta P\%=\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}-1=\dfrac{0.99998}{0.99874}-1=1.0012-1=0.0012=0.12\%$

You gain 0.12% in probability for an increase of 80% in sample size.

The increase in sample size is not justified by the increase in probability, for this margin of error (Δp=0.09).
