Below are the data collected from two random samples of 500 American adults on the number of hours they spend doing leisure and

sports activities per
day (rounded to the nearest hour)
Number of hours spent doing leisure and sports activities per day
Sample A: Number of adults
70 90 135 140 65
Sample B: Number of adults
80 80 130 135 75

Dan concludes that adults spend a mean of 3 hours each day doing leisure and sports activities. Bret thinks the mean is 4 hours. Who is correct-Dan or Bret?

From the question we are told that:

Total Sample size n=500

Dan's mean \=x_D= 3hr

Bret's mean \=x_D= 4hr

Generally, the  Total hours spent doing leisure and sports activities  is mathematically given by

For Sample A

T_a=(1*70)+(2*90)+(3*135)+(4*140)+(5*65)\\\\

T_a=1540 hours

For Sample B

T_b=(1*80)+(2*80)+(3*130)+(4*135)+(5*75)

T_b=1545

Therefore

Average Time spent doing leisure and sports activities by an American Adult

For Sample A

T_A=\frac{T_a}{n}

T_A=\frac{1540}{500}

T_A=3.08

T_A \approx 3

For Sample B

T_A'=\frac{T_b}{n}

T_A'=\frac{1545}{500}

T_A'=3.09

T_A' \approx 3

Therefore

Dan is Correct because 3.08 or 3.09 is approximately equal to 3

Fred the ant is on the real number line, and Fred is trying to get to the point $0.$
Pavlova-9 [17]

Complete question is;

Fred the ant is on the real number line, and Fred is trying to get to the point 0

If Fred is at 1 then on the next step, Fred moves to either 0 or 2 with equal probability. If Fred is at 2 then on the next step, Fred always moves to 1

Let e1 be expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0 given that Fred starts at the point 1. Similarly, let e2 be expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0 given that Fred starts at the point 2

Determine the ordered pair (e1, e2)

Answer:

(e_1,e_2) = (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can track the probabilities using the scenario that Ant gets to 0 after 1 steps, 2 steps, 3 steps, 4 steps, 5 steps and so on.

This gives us e_1 = 1(1/2^(1)) + 2(1/2²) + 3(1/2³) + 4(1/2⁴) + ...

By arithmetico-geometric series, which is given by;

S_(∞) = [a/(1 - r)] + dr/(1 - r)²

From the online calculator, i got;

e_1 = 2

Similarly, e_2 = 2(1/2^(1)) + 3(1/2²) + 4(1/2³) + 5(1/2⁴) + ...

By arithmetico-geometric series, e_2 = 3,

Thus, (e_1,e_2) = (2,3).
