A recent drug survey showed an increase in use of drugs and alcohol among local high school students as compared to the national

percent. Suppose that a survey of 100 local youths and 100 national youths is conducted to see if the percentage of drug and alcohol use is higher locally than nationally. Locally, 65 seniors reported using drugs or alcohol within the past month, while 61 national seniors reported using them. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level.

Answer:

The answer is "0.586"

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the solution to the given question:  

z= \frac{0.65-0.61}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65 \times 0.35}{100}+\frac{0.61 \times 0.39}{100}}}

  = \frac{0.04}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2275}{100}+\frac{0.2379}{100}}}\\\\= \frac{0.04}{\sqrt{0.002275+0.002379}}\\\\= \frac{0.04}{\sqrt{0.004654}}\\\\= \frac{0.04}{0.0682202316}\\\\=0.586336327\\\\

Kevlar epoxy is a material used on the NASA space shuttles. Strands of this epoxy were tested at the 90% breaking strength. The
Ratling [72]

Answer:

range = 7.87

X = 62.12, X²= 164.3516

mean = 1.2424

variance = 1.779

standard deviation = 1.33379

coefficient of variation = 107.3559%

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) The range =

highest number - lowest number

= 7.89 - 0.02

= 7.87

b.) from the attachment I solved for X and X²

∑X = 62.12

∑X² = 164.3516

c.)

the mean = ∑x/n

n = 50

= 62.12/50

= 1.2424

variance =

σ² = [∑x²-(∑x)²/n] / n-1

= [164.3516 - (62.12)²/50] / 50-1

= 164.3516 - 77.17788/49

= 87.173712/49

= 1.779

standard deviation = √σ

= √1.779

= 1.33379

d. coefficient of variation

= σ/mean * 100

= 1.33379/1.2424 * 100

= 107.3559

This number tells us that the the standard deviation of the time to failure is larger than the average time. option 3 is the correc4 answer here

6. Find the product:<br> (x² + 8x - 3)(x + 1)
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

x^3+9x^2-3x^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use a various of methods but when you use the box method you multiply each separately.

Like you would multiply x² by x, 8x by x, -3 by x (thats the first row)

x² by 1, 8x by 1, -3 by 1 ( for the second row)

Then you get those final variables and combine like terms getting the answer above

An attorney charges $250 for an initial meeting and $150 an hour. How many hours can Pablo afford if he has $500? Which equation
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1 Hour

250 + 150h = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the fee for the meeting is 250. The hourly fee is 150. Let h equal the number of hours.

250 + 150h

If pablo has 500, then we cannot exceed that amount. So, our equation becomes

250 + 150h = 500

Subtract 250 from both sides

150h = 250

And divide by 50 on both sides. You get x = about 1.67. Since this is a question about time and money, you would round down to 1.

The population of a species is modeled by the equation p(t)=-t^4+72t^2+225, where t is the number of years. find the approximate
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The approximate number of years until the species is extinct will be 9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

The population of a species is modeled by the equation

p(t)=-t^4+72t^2+225

where

t is the number of years

we have to find time when species extinct

we know that any species will be extinct only if population of that species becomes 0

so, we can set P(t)=0

and then we can solve for t

p(t)=-t^4+72t^2+225=0

we can factor it

(t^2+3)(t^2-75)=0

(t^2+3)=0

we get t value as imaginary for this equation

(t^2-75)=0

t=\sqrt{75}

t=8.660

So,

the approximate number of years until the species is extinct will be 9 years
