Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to present growth as a function of time; the growth depends upon the number of days that go by. So, growth(y) is the dependent variable and time (in days, x) is the independent variable.

we know that
<span>The construction shown is an angle bisector
m<XAB=m<CAX
</span>so

A stereo store is offering a special price on a complete set of components (receiver, compact disc player, speakers, turntable).

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a) 240 ways

b) 12 ways

c) 108 ways

d) 132 ways

e) i) 0.55

ii) 0.4125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the components:

Receiver, compound disk player, speakers, turntable.

Then a purcahser is offered a choice of manufacturer for each component:

Receiver: Kenwood, Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Sherwood => 5 offers

Compact disc player: Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Technics => 4 offers

Speakers: Boston, Infinity, Polk => 3 offers

Turntable: Onkyo, Sony, Teac, Technics => 4 offers

a) The number of ways one component of each type can be selected =

$\left(\begin{array}{ccc}5\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right)$

$= 5 * 4 * 3 * 4 = 240 ways$

b) If both the receiver and compact disk are to be sony.

In the receiver, the purchaser was offered 1 Sony, also in the CD(compact disk) player the purchaser was offered 1 Sony.

Thus, the number of ways components can be selected if both receiver and player are to be Sony is:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right)$

$= 1 * 1 * 3 * 4 = 12 ways$

c) If none is to be Sony.

Let's exclude Sony from each component.

Receiver has 1 sony = 5 - 1 = 4

CD player has 1 Sony = 4 - 1 = 3

Speakers had 0 sony = 3 - 0 = 3

Turntable has 1 sony = 4 - 1 = 3

Therefore, the number of ways can be selected if none is to be sony:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right)$

$= 4 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 108 ways$

d) If at least one sony is to be included.

Number of ways can a selection be made if at least one Sony component is to be included =

Total possible selections - possible selections without Sony

= 240 - 108

= 132 ways

e) If someone flips switches on the selection in a completely random fashion.

i) Probability of selecting at least one Sony component=

Possible selections with at least one sony / Total number of possible selections

$\frac{132}{240} = 0.55$

ii) Probability of selecting exactly one sony component =

Possible selections with exactly one sony / Total number of possible selections.

$\frac{\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) + \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) + \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right)}{240}$

$= \frac{(1*3*3*3)+(4*1*3*3)+(4*3*3*1)}{240}$

$\frac{27 + 36 + 36}{240} = \frac{99}{240} = 0.4125$

Refer to the following scenario:You want to see if there is a difference between the exercise habits of Science majors and Math

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

1. H0: P1 = P2

2. Ha: P1 ≠ P2

3. pooled proportion p = 0.542

4. P-value = 0.0171

5. The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

At a signficance level of 0.01, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is significant difference between the exercise habits of Science majors and Math majors .

6. The 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.012, 0.335).

Step-by-step explanation:

We should perform a hypothesis test on the difference of proportions.

As we want to test if there is significant difference, the hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: there is no significant difference between the proportions (p1-p2 = 0).

Alternative hypothesis: there is significant difference between the proportions (p1-p2 ≠ 0).

The sample 1 (science), of size n1=135 has a proportion of p1=0.607.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=82/135=0.607$

The sample 2 (math), of size n2=92 has a proportion of p2=0.446.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=41/92=0.446$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.162.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.607-0.446=0.162$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{82+41}{135+92}=\dfrac{123}{227}=0.542$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.542*0.458}{135}+\dfrac{0.542*0.458}{92}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.001839+0.002698}=\sqrt{0.004537}=0.067$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.162-0}{0.067}=\dfrac{0.162}{0.067}=2.4014$

This test is a two-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

$\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(z>2.4014)=0.0171$

As the P-value (0.0171) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

At a signficance level of 0.01, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is significant difference between the exercise habits of Science majors and Math majors .

We want to calculate the bounds of a 99% confidence interval of the difference between proportions.

For a 99% CI, the critical value for z is z=2.576.

The margin of error is:

$MOE=z \cdot s_{p1-p2}=2.576\cdot 0.067=0.1735$
