Find p(-3) if p(x)= 4x^3 - 5x^2 + 7x

In a recent poll, 778 adults were asked to identify their favorite seat when they fly, and 492 of them chose a window seat. Use

seropon [69]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.5$

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

$p_v =P(Z>7.36)=9.19x10^{-14}$

Since the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of adults prefer window seats when they fly is significantly higher than 0.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=778 represent the random sample taken

X=492 represent the people that chose a window seat.

$\hat p=\frac{492}{778}=0.632$ estimated proportion of people that chose a window seat.

$p_o=0.5$ 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)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the majority of adults prefer window seats when they fly:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.5$

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 $p_o$ .

3) Calculate the statistic

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

$z=\frac{0.632 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{778}}}=7.36$

4) 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 $\alpha=0.01$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z>7.36)=9.19x10^{-14}$

5) Conclusion

Since the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of adults prefer window seats when they fly is significantly higher than 0.5 .

A group of college students built a self-guided rover and tested it on a plane surface. They programmed the vehicle to move alon

makkiz [27]

Answer:

B. 40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

— Estimating

The rectangle enclosing the path has sides of length 9 m and 14 m, so its perimeter is 2(9+14) = 46 m. The distance covered will be shorter than that.

The distance from A to C is longer than the distance from D to C, so we know the distance will be longer than 2·14+9 = 37 m.

Only one answer choice fits in the range 37 < d < 46.

____

— Detailed calculation

The distance from B to C is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 9 and 12. You will recognize that these side lengths are 3 times the side lengths of a 3-4-5 right triangle, so the hypotenuse distance is 3·5 = 15 meters.

The circuit length is ...

AB +BC +CD +DA = 2 + 15 + 14 + 9 = 40 . . . . meters

A water tank already contained 24 gallons of water before a pump was switched to fill it. The pump started at 10:00 am and by 10

grigory [225]

Answer:

The equation to represent the amount of water that the tank contains $(W)$ after the pump was working for $T$ hours can be given as:

$W=32T+24$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Water tank initially contained = 24 gallons of water

The pump to fill the tank was switched to fill it.

From 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM the tank contained 40 gallons of water.

By 1:00 PM the tank contained 120 gallons of water.

To write an equation which will tell the amount of water that the tank contains $(W)$ after the pump was working for $T$ hours

Solution:

Initially, gallons of water in tank = 24

From 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM the tank had 40 gallons of water.

Thus, in half an hour the pump filled = $40-24$ = 16 gallons

Using unitary method:

If in $\frac{1}{2}$ of an hour water filled = 16 gallons

So, in 1 hour the water filled will be = $16\times 2$ = 32 gallons

In 3 hours the water filled will be = $32\times 3$ = 96 gallons

Thus, by 1:00 PM the water in the tank will be = $96+24$ = 120 gallons

This confirms the data given for 1:00 PM.

This shows that the rate at which the pump fills the tank is 32 gallons of water per hour.

The equation to represent the amount of water that the tank contains $(W)$ after the pump was working for $T$ hours can be given as:

$W=32T+24$

Cual temperatura es mas caliente ( 25°C , 280°K ó 40°F)

Vikki [24]

Answer:

25 Celsius es igual a 77 F, 77 es mas grande que 40 F

Step-by-step explanation:

Espero que la info. ayude

El símbolo de grado no se usa para informar la temperatura usando la escala Kelvin, sino que se indican como Kelvin. El agua hierve a 100 grados Celsius o 212 grados Fahrenheit, o 373,15 Kelvins. El agua se congela a 0 grados Celsius o 32 grados Fahrenheit, o 273,15 Kelvins. El cero absoluto es 0 Kelvin.
