Error Analysis: Mr. Hasson is buying a new bike for the summer time. The bike originally costs $150 but he sees it's on sale for

30% off. Mr. Hasson thinks that this means the price is $149.70 because 30% means 0.30 and 150 - 0.30 = $149.70.
What is the error that Mr. Hasson made?
What is the correct way to calculate the sale price?

Answer:

$45

Step-by-step explanation:

30% ÷100 =0.3. 0.3×150= 45

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

a)\chi^2 = \frac{(40-35)^2}{35}+\frac{(35-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(25-25)^2}{25}+\frac{(25-24.5)^2}{24.5}+\frac{(35-28)^2}{28}+\frac{(25-17.5)^2}{17.5}+\frac{(5-10.5)^2}{10.5}+\frac{(10-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(15-7.5)^2}{7.5} =17.03

p_v = P(\chi^2_{4} >17.03)=0.0019

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(17.03,4,TRUE)"

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that we have association or dependence between the two variables.

b)

P(E|Ex)= P(EΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (40/215)/ (70/215)= 40/70=0.5714

P(E|Gx)= P(EΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (35/215)/ (80/215)= 35/80=0.4375

P(E|Fx)= P(EΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (25/215)/ (50/215)= 25/50=0.5

P(G|Ex)= P(GΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (25/215)/ (70/215)= 25/70=0.357

P(G|Gx)= P(GΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (35/215)/ (80/215)= 35/80=0.4375

P(G|Fx)= P(GΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (10/215)/ (50/215)= 10/50=0.2

P(F|Ex)= P(FΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (5/215)/ (70/215)= 5/70=0.0714

P(F|Gx)= P(FΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (10/215)/ (80/215)= 10/80=0.125

P(F|Fx)= P(FΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (15/215)/ (50/215)= 15/50=0.3

And that's what we see here almost all the conditional probabilities are higher than 0.2 so then the conclusion of dependence between the two variables makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Assume the following dataset:

Quality management        Excellent      Good     Fair    Total

Excellent                                40                35         25       100

Good                                      25                35         10         70

Fair                                         5                   10          15        30

Total                                       70                 80         50       200

Part a

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:

H0: There is independence between the two categorical variables

H1: There is association between the two categorical variables

The level of significance assumed for this case is \alpha=0.05

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

\chi^2 = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}

The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula E_i = \frac{total col * total row}{grand total}

And the calculations are given by:

E_{1} =\frac{70*100}{200}=35

E_{2} =\frac{80*100}{200}=40

E_{3} =\frac{50*100}{200}=25

E_{4} =\frac{70*70}{200}=24.5

E_{5} =\frac{80*70}{200}=28

E_{6} =\frac{50*70}{200}=17.5

E_{7} =\frac{70*30}{200}=10.5

E_{8} =\frac{80*30}{200}=12

E_{9} =\frac{50*30}{200}=7.5

And the expected values are given by:

Quality management        Excellent      Good     Fair       Total

Excellent                                35              40          25         100

Good                                      24.5           28          17.5        85

Fair                                         10.5            12           7.5         30

Total                                       70                 80         65        215

And now we can calculate the statistic:

\chi^2 = \frac{(40-35)^2}{35}+\frac{(35-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(25-25)^2}{25}+\frac{(25-24.5)^2}{24.5}+\frac{(35-28)^2}{28}+\frac{(25-17.5)^2}{17.5}+\frac{(5-10.5)^2}{10.5}+\frac{(10-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(15-7.5)^2}{7.5} =17.03

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(3-1)(3-1)=4

And we can calculate the p value given by:

p_v = P(\chi^2_{4} >17.03)=0.0019

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(17.03,4,TRUE)"

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that we have association or dependence between the two variables.

Part b

We can find the probabilities that Quality of Management and the Reputation of the Company would be the same like this:

Let's define some notation first.

E= Quality Management excellent     Ex=Reputation of company excellent

G= Quality Management good     Gx=Reputation of company good

F= Quality Management fait     Ex=Reputation of company fair

P(EΛ Ex) =40/215=0.186

P(GΛ Gx) =35/215=0.163

P(FΛ Fx) =15/215=0.0697

If we have dependence then the conditional probabilities would be higher values.

P(E|Ex)= P(EΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (40/215)/ (70/215)= 40/70=0.5714

P(E|Gx)= P(EΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (35/215)/ (80/215)= 35/80=0.4375

P(E|Fx)= P(EΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (25/215)/ (50/215)= 25/50=0.5

P(G|Ex)= P(GΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (25/215)/ (70/215)= 25/70=0.357

P(G|Gx)= P(GΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (35/215)/ (80/215)= 35/80=0.4375

P(G|Fx)= P(GΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (10/215)/ (50/215)= 10/50=0.2

P(F|Ex)= P(FΛEx )/ P(Ex) = (5/215)/ (70/215)= 5/70=0.0714

P(F|Gx)= P(FΛGx )/ P(Gx) = (10/215)/ (80/215)= 10/80=0.125

P(F|Fx)= P(FΛFx )/ P(Fx) = (15/215)/ (50/215)= 15/50=0.3

And that's what we see here almost all the conditional probabilities are higher than 0.2 so then the conclusion of dependence between the two variables makes sense.

Solve for x. 4(2-x)+13=2x+3
gregori [183]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2-x)+13=2x+3

distribute the 4.

8 - 4x + 13 = 2x + 3

combine like terms.

21 - 4x = 2x + 3

18 = 6x

divide by 6.

x = 3

check.

4(2 - 3) + 13 = 2(3) + 3

4(-1) + 13 = 6 + 3

-4 + 13 = 9

9 = 9

correct!

There are 212.5 grams of sugar in a 2-liter bottle of soda. How much sugar is there in 4.5 bottles? please HELP ME ​
drek231 [11]
956.25 is the answer

Because 1 bottle is 212.5 grams of sugar you can just multiply that by 4.5 because there are 4 bottles and a half of a bottle

How could you use coordinate geometry to prove that segment BD and segment AC bisect one another?
____ [38]

Answer:

I think it's prove the midpoints are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not completely sure but I'm taking it right now and I believe that's the most logical answer because if they meet up at the same midpoint then they could bisect each other.
