Answer:

f(- 10) = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

f(- 10) with t = - 10 corresponds to t ≤ - 10 with f(t) = t² - 5t , then

f(- 10) = (- 10)² - 5(- 10) = 100 + 50 = 150

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

D. 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A frozen dinner is divided into 3 sections on a circular plate with a 12-inch diameter.

That means complete angle having 360° is divided into 3 section.

The central angle formed by the peach cobbler is 105 degrees.

The central angle formed by the pasta is 203 degrees.

<u>Question asked:</u>

What is the approximate length of the arc of the section containing the peas?

<u>Solution:</u>

The central angle formed by the peas = 360° - 105° - 203°

= 52°

$Ridius,r=\frac{Dameter}{2} =\frac{12}{2} =6\ inches$

As we know:

$Length\ of\ arc=2\pi r\times\frac{\Theta }{360}$

$=2\times\frac{22}{7} \times6\times\frac{52}{360} \\ \\ =\frac{13728}{2520} \\ \\ =5.44\ inches$

Therefore, the approximate length of the arc of the section containing the peas are 5 inches.

A tobacco company claims that the amount of nicotene in its cigarettes is a random variable with mean 2.2 and standard deviation

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

0% probability that the sample mean would have been as high or higher than 3.1 if the company’s claims were true.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 2.2, \sigma = 0.3, n = 100, s = \frac{0.3}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.03$

What is the approximate probability that the sample mean would have been as high or higher than 3.1 if the company’s claims were true?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.1. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{3.1 - 2.2}{0.03}$

$Z = 30$

$Z = 30$ has a pvalue of 1.

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that the sample mean would have been as high or higher than 3.1 if the company’s claims were true.

An experimenter flips a coin 100 times and gets 59 heads. Find the 98% confidence interval for the probability of flipping a hea

lara [203]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the probability of flipping a head with this coin is (0.4756, 0.7044).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
