32 students were asked which of the sciences they enjoy the most. 4 of the boys said they enjoy Physics. The ratio between boys

and girls is 1 : 1 . The probability of picking a girl at random who enjoys Chemistry is 0.25 . Twice as many of the boys said they enjoy Chemistry compared to the girls. The ratio of students who said they enjoyed Physics, Biology and Chemistry was 5 : 5 : 6 respectively.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Total number of students = 32

Total number of ratio of students that enjoy Physics, Biology and Chemistry = 5 + 5 + 6 = 16

Number of boys that enjoy the three subjects = 16

Number of girls that enjoy the three subjects = 16

Number of students that enjoy Physics = 5/16 X 32 = 10

Number of students that enjoy Biology = 5/16 X 32 = 10

Number of students that enjoy Chemistry = 6/16 X 32 = 12

If number of boys that enjoy Physics = 4

∴ Number of girls that enjoy Physics = 10 - 4 = 6

The probability of girls that enjoy Chemistry = 0.25 = 1/4

∴ The number of girls that enjoy Chemistry = 1/4 X 12 = 3

Hence, the number of boys that enjoy Chemistry = 12 - 3 = 9

Number of boys that enjoy Biology = 9 + 4 - 10 = 13 - 10 = 3

∴ Number of girls that enjoy Biology = 10 - 3 = 7

Answer:

0.0623 ± ( 2.056 )( 0.0224 ) can be used to compute a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line of y on x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

sample size n = 28

slope of the least squares regression line of y on x or sample estimate = 0.0623

standard error = 0.0224

95% confidence interval

level of significance ∝ = 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

degree of freedom df = n - 2 = 28 - 2 = 26

∴ the equation will be;

⇒ sample estimate ± ( t-test) ( standard error )

⇒ sample estimate ± ( $t_{\alpha /2, df$ ) ( standard error )

⇒ sample estimate ± ( $t_{0.05 /2, 26$ ) ( standard error )

⇒ sample estimate ± ( $t_{0.025, 26$ ) ( standard error )

{ from t table; ( $t_{0.025, 26$ ) = 2.055529 = 2.056

so we substitute

⇒ 0.0623 ± ( 2.056 )( 0.0224 )

Therefore, 0.0623 ± ( 2.056 )( 0.0224 ) can be used to compute a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line of y on x

Answer:

√(23)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a² + b² = c²

so...

a = 7

b = 3

7² + 3² = c²

14 + 9 = c²

√(23) = c

Wilma can mow a lawn in 60 minutes. Rocky can mow the same lawn in 40 minutes. How long does it take for both Wilma and Rocky to

UNO [17]

<h3>Answer: 24 minutes</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

Let's say the lawn is 120 square feet. I picked 120 as it is the LCM (lowest common multiple) of 60 and 40.

Since Wilma can mow the lawn in 60 minutes, her rate is 120/60 = 2 sq ft per minute. In other words, each minute means she gets 2 more square feet mowed. Rocky can do the full job on his own in 40 minutes, so his rate is 120/40 = 3 sq ft per minute.

Their combined rate, if they worked together (without slowing each other down), would be the sum of the two rates. So we get 2+3 = 5 sq ft per minute as the combined rate. The total time it would take for this 120 sq ft lawn is 120/5 = 24 minutes.

--------------------------

Another approach

Wilma takes 60 minutes to do the full job, so her rate is 1/60 of a lawn per minute. Rocky's rate is 1/40 of a lawn per minute. Their combined rate is

1/60 + 1/40 = 2/120 + 3/120 = 5/120 = 1/24 of a lawn per minute

x = number of minutes

(combined rate)*(time) = number of jobs done

(1/24)*x = 1

x = 1*24

x = 24 is the time it takes if they worked together without getting in each other's way.

Effectively, we are solving the equation

1/A + 1/B = 1/C

with

A = time it takes Wilma to do the job on her own

B = time it takes Rocky to do the job on his own

C = time it takes the two working together to get the job done

The equation above is equivalent to C*(1/A + 1/B) = 1 or (1/A + 1/B)*C = 1.

So basically you find the value of 1/A + 1/B, then find the reciprocal of this to get the value of C.
