200 3. A technician charges $25 per hour plus $50 for a house call to repair home computers. Make a table and a graph to show th

Tju [1.3M]

Recall that for a home visit, the technician charges $50 regardless on the time spent in the repair.

So, to find out the rate, we should calculate the part that depends on the spent time, and the add 50. So for example, we know that the technician spents 1 hour. So, we multiply 1 times 25 and then add 50. So, 25*1 + 50 = 75, which is the rate for a 1-hour repair.

So, in general, if we know that the number of hours is x, we multiply x times 25 and then add 50. Then a table would like this:

x 25*x 25*x +50

1 25 75

2 50 100

3 75 125

4 100 150

Note that as the time increases by one hour, the fare increases by 25. This is an example of a direct variation, since as the independent variable increases (t

According to data released by FiveThirty Eight (data drawn on Monday, August 17th, 2020), Donald Trump wins an Electoral College

sineoko [7]

Answer:

a) P = 0.274925

b) required confidence interval = (0.2705589, 0.2793344)

c) FALSE

d) FALSE

e) TRUE

f) There is still probability that he would win. And it would be highly unusual if he wins assuming that the true population proportion is 0.274925.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

PROBABILITY

since total number of simulations is 40,000 and and number of times Donald Trump wins an Electoral College majority in the 2020 US Presidential Election is 10,997

so the required Probability will be 10,997 divided by 40,000

P = 10997 / 40000 = 0.274925

b)

To get 95% confidence interval for the parameter in question a

(using R)

>prop.test(10997,40000)

OUTPUT

1 - Sample proportion test with continuity correction

data: 10997 out of 40000, null probability 0.5

x-squared = 8104.5, df = 1, p-value < 2.23-16

alternative hypothesis : true p ≠ 0.5

0.2705589 0.2793344

sample estimate

p

0.274925

∴ required confidence interval = (0.2705589, 0.2793344)

c)

FALSE

This is a wrong interpretation of a confidence interval. It indicates that there is 95% chance that the confidence interval you calculated contains the true proportion. This is because when you perform several times, 95% of those intervals would contain the true proportion but as the confidence intervals will vary so you can't say that the true proportion is in any interval with 95% probability.

d)

FALSE

Once again, this is a wrong interpretation of a confidence interval. The confidence interval tells us about the population parameter and not the sample statistic.

e)

TRUE

This is a correct interpretation of a confidence interval. It indicates that if we perform sampling with same sample size (40000) several times and calculate the 95% confidence interval of population proportion for each of them, then 95% of these confidence interval should contain the population parameter.

f)

The simulation results obtained doesn't always comply with the true population. Also, result of one simulation can't be taken for granted. We need several simulations to come to a conclusion. So, we can never ever guarantee based on a simulation result to say that Donald Trump 'Won't' or 'Shouldn't' win.

There is still probability that he would win. And it would be highly unusual if he wins assuming that the true population proportion is 0.274925.

The graph below shows the height of a kicked soccer ball f(x), in feet, depending on the distance from the kicker x, in feet: Gr

siniylev [52]

Because the vertex of the parabola is at (16,0), its equation is of the formy = a(x-10)² + 15
The graph goes through (0,0), thereforea(0 - 10)² + 15 = 0100a = -15a = -0.15
The equation is y = f(x) = -0.15(x - 10)² + 15
The graph is shown below.
Part A
Note that y = f(x).
The x-intercepts identify values where the function or y=0. The x-intercepts occur at x=0 and x=20, or at (0,0) and (20,0).
The maximum value of y occurs at the vertex (10, 15) because the curve is down due to the negative leading coefficient of -0.15.
The curve increases in the interval x = (-∞, 10) and it decreases in the interval x = (10, ∞).
Part B
When x=12, y = -0.15(12 - 10)² + 15 = 14.4When x=15, y = -0.15(15 - 10)² + 15 = 11.25
The average rate of change between x =12 to x = 15 is(11.25 - 14.4)/(15 - 12) = -1.05
This rate of change represents the slope of the secant line from A to B. It approximates the rate at which f(x) decreases in the interval x =[12, 15].
