Alice and Bob each choose a number uniformly (and independently) from the interval [0, 10]. What is the probability that the abs

Answer:

The probability is zero (0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

interval of numbers to be chosen = 0, 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , 10

total possible outcome = 11

The possible numbers whose absolute difference is greater than ¹/₄ includes the following;

(0,1), (1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5), (5,6), (6,7), (7,8), (8,9), (9,10), (10,0)

The probability of this = 11 / 11 = 1

The probability that the absolute value of the difference between their two numbers is less than 1/4

$P(less \ than \ \frac{1}{4} ) = 1 - P(greater \ than \ \frac{1}{4} )\\\\P(less \ than \ \frac{1}{4} ) = 1 - 1 \\\\P(less \ than \ \frac{1}{4} ) = 0$

The sum of three odd consecutive numbers is fifty-one. What are the numbers?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

15,17,19

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation : $x+(x+2)+(x+4)=51$

Solve the equation: $3x+6=51$

$3x=51-6$

$3x=45$

$x=15$

Since x=15 then the second number is 17 and then 19

In a random sample of males, it was found that 28 write with their left hands and 210 do not. In a random sample of females, it

Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis: $p_{M} \geq p_{W}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{M} < p_{W}$

b) $z=\frac{0.118-0.125}{\sqrt{0.122(1-0.122)(\frac{1}{238}+\frac{1}{497})}}=-0.271$

c) $p_v =P(Z$

d) If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of men that write with their left hand is NOT significant lower than the proportion of female that write with their left hand

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$X_{M}=28$ represent the number of men that write with their left hand

$X_{W}=62$ represent the number of women that write with their left hand

$n_{M}=210+28=238$ sample of male selected

$n_{W}=62+435=497$ sample of female selected

$p_{M}=\frac{28}{238}=0.118$ represent the proportion of men that write with their left hand

$p_{W}=\frac{62}{497}=0.125$ represent the proportion of women that write with their left hand

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{M} \geq p_{W}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{M} < p_{W}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{M}-p_{W}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{M}}+\frac{1}{n_{W}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{M}+X_{W}}{n_{M}+n_{W}}=\frac{28+62}{238+497}=0.122$

3) Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.118-0.125}{\sqrt{0.122(1-0.122)(\frac{1}{238}+\frac{1}{497})}}=-0.271$

4) Statistical decision

We have a significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ , and now we can calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a one left side test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of men that write with their left hand is NOT significant loer than the proportion of female that write with their left hand .

Select the correct answer.

Radda [10]

Answer:

$(-1\frac{1}{3}, 4\frac{3}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the exact solution, find the equation for each line. And solve for x and y.

To do this, represent each equation in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. Where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

✍️Equation 1 for the line that slopes upwards from left to your right:

Slope = $m = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{2}{1} = 2$

b = the point at which the y-axis is intercepted by the line = 7

Substitute m = 2 and b = 7 in y = mx + b

Equation 1 would be:

✔️y = 2x + 7

✍️Equation 2 for the line that slopes downwards from left to your right:

Slope = $m = \frac{rise}{run} = -\frac{3}{1} = -3$

b = the point at which the y-axis is intercepted by the line = 1

Substitute m = -3 and b = 1 in y = mx + b

✔️Equation 2 would be:

y = -3x + 1

✍️Solve for x and y:

✔️To solve for x, substitute y = -3x + 1 in equation 1.

y = 2x + 7

-3x + 1 = 2x + 7

Collect like terms

-3x - 2x = 7 - 1

-5x = 6

Divide both sides by -5

$x = \frac{6}{-5} = -1\frac{1}{5}$

✔️To solve for y, substitute x = -1⅕ in equation 2.

y = -3x + 1

$y = -3\frac{-6}{5} + 1$

$y = \frac{18}{5} + 1$

$y = \frac{18 + 5}{5}$

$y = \frac{23}{5}$

$y = 4\frac{3}{5}$

✅The exact solution would be: $(-1\frac{1}{3}, 4\frac{3}{5})$
