Kendra reads in Modern Dog Magazine that the average age of dogs currently alive is 4.8 years. To determine if this finding appl

ies to the customers in her pet store, Kendra surveys every fifth customer in her store who owns a dog and asks the age of their dog. She collects data for seven weeks and obtains the following averages.
Week Average Age (in years)
1 3.7
2 3.8
3 4.2
4 4.1
5 3.9
6 3.9
7 4.0

Answer:

The true statement about Kendra's sample is:

b) Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average age of dogs currently alive = 4.8 years

Average ages of dogs in Kendra's sample

Week   Average Age (in years)

1                    3.7

2                   3.8

3                   4.2

4                   4.1

5                  3.9

6                  3.9

7                  4.0

Total         27.6

Mean = 3.9 (27.6/7)

b) Accuracy refers to how close Kendra's sample mean age of dogs is to the average age value as stated in the Modern Dog Magazine.  While the Magazine stated an average age of 4.8 years, Kendra's sample produced a mean of 3.9 years.  On the other hand, precision refers to how close Kendra's sample measurements are to each other.  With a mean of 3.9 years, the sample measurements are very close to each other.  Therefore, we can conclude that "Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate."

(4.1.4) Let X and Y be Bernoulli random variables. Let Z = X + Y. a. Show that if X and Y cannot both be equal to 1, then Z is a
Fynjy0 [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a)

X ~ Bernoulli (p_x) and Y ~ Bernoulli (y_x)

X + Y = Z

The possible value for Z are Z = 0 when X = 0 and Y = 0

and Z = 1 when X = 0 and Y = 1 or when X = 1 and Y = 0

If X and Y can not be both equal to 1 , then the probability mass function of the random variable Z takes on the value of 0 for any value of Z other than 0 and 1,

Therefore Z is a Bernoulli random variable

b)

If X and Y can not be both equal to  1

then,

p_z = P(X=1 or Y=1)\\

p_z = P(X=1)+P(Y=1)-P(=1 and Y =1)

p_z = P(x=1)+P(Y=1)\\\\p_z=p_x+p_y

c)

If both X = 1 and Y = 1 then Z = 2

The possible values of the random variable Z are 0, 1 and 2.

since a  Bernoulli variable should be take on only values 0 and 1 the random variable Z does not have Bernoulli distribution

Give the domain of each of the following functions in interval notation.
balandron [24]

Answer:

the domain of f(x) is R  ⇒ ] -∞ , ∞[

the domain of h(x) is x ≤ -5 ⇒ ] -∞ , -5]

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = \sqrt[8]{-2x-10}

-2x - 10 ≥ 0

-2x ≥ 10

x ≤ -5

To determine a monthly budget for gasoline, Rachael determines that she can not spend more
IrinaK [193]

The solution of the given inequality is:

x ≤ 15.24

<h3>How to solve the inequality?</h3>

We know that the maximum that she can spend on gasoline is the 12% of $400.

That is:

(12%/100%)*$400 = 0.12*$400 = $48

Now, we know that each gallon of gas costs $3.15, then if x is the number of gallons of gas that she buys, we have the inequality:

x*$3.15 ≤ $48

To solve the inequality, we need to divide both sides by $3.15

x ≤ $48/$3.15

x ≤ 15.24

So the maximum number of gallons of gasoline that she can buy is 15 gallons (actually a little more).
