5-81. Scientists hypothesized that dietary fiber would impact the blood cholesterol level of college students. They collected da

ta and found r = -0.45 with a scattered residual plot. Interpret the scientists' findings in context. Hint: r stands for correlation coefficient)

Step-by-step explanation:

It shows that the content of dietary fiber is negatively correlated to the blood cholesterol of college student, as the correlation coefficient is negative. However, the r=-0.45 shows the two factors are lowly correlated (absolute value of r between 0.3 and 0.5)

Many elementary school students in a school district currently have ear infections. A random sample of children in two different

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The summary of the given data includes;

sample size for the first school $n_1$ = 42

sample size for the second school $n_2$ = 34

so 16 out of 42 i.e $x_1$ = 16 and 18 out of 34 i.e $x_2$ = 18 have ear infection.

the proportion of students with ear infection Is as follows:

$\hat p_1 = \dfrac{16}{42}$ = 0.38095

$\hat p_2 = \dfrac{18}{34}$ = 0.5294

Since this is a two tailed test , the null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as :

$H_0 :p_1 -p_2 = 0 \\ \\ H_1 : p_1 - p_2 \neq 0$

level of significance ∝ = 0.05,

Using the table of standard normal distribution, the value of z that corresponds to the two-tailed probability 0.05 is 1.96. Thus, we will reject the null hypothesis if the value of the test statistics is less than -1.96 or more than 1.96.

The test statistics for the difference in proportion can be achieved by using a pooled sample proportion.

$\bar p = \dfrac{x_1 +x_2}{n_1 +n_2}$

$\bar p = \dfrac{16 +18}{42 +34}$

$\bar p = \dfrac{34}{76}$

$\bar p = 0.447368$

$\bar p + \bar q = 1 \\ \\ \bar q = 1 -\bar p \\ \\\bar q = 1 - 0.447368 \\ \\\bar q = 0.552632$

The pooled standard error can be computed by using the formula:

$S.E = \sqrt{ \dfrac{ \bar p \bar q}{ n_1} + \dfrac{\bar p \bar p}{n_2} }$

$S.E = \sqrt{ \dfrac{ 0.447368 * 0.552632}{ 42} + \dfrac{ 0.447368 * 0.447368}{34} }$

$S.E = \sqrt{ \dfrac{ 0.2472298726}{ 42} + \dfrac{ 0.2001381274}{34} }$

$S.E = \sqrt{ 0.01177284105}$

$S.E = 0.1085$

The test statistics is ;

$z = \dfrac{\hat p_1 - \hat p_2}{S.E}$

$z = \dfrac{0.38095- 0.5294}{0.1085}$

$z = \dfrac{-0.14845}{0.1085}$

z = - 1.368

Decision Rule: Since the test statistics is greater than the rejection region - 1.96 , we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion: There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that a difference exists between the proportions of students who have ear infections at the two schools

What is the value for f(x)4^2x -100 when x=2 ?<br><br> (the ^2x is a exponent)

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

156

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= 4^(2x) -100

Let x =2

f(2)= 4^(2*2) -100

= 4^4 - 100

= 256 -100

= 156

A boy flying a kite lets out 300 feet of string, which makes an angle of 38o with the ground. Assuming that the string is straig

Greeley [361]

Answer:

The answer is 184.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the distance from kite to ground

sin38°/1 = x/300

x = 300 · sin 38

Therefore your answer is 184.7

This is the best way I could explain it....Hope this helps:)

) Use the Laplace transform to solve the following initial value problem: y′′−6y′+9y=0y(0)=4,y′(0)=2 Using Y for the Laplace tra

artcher [175]

Answer:

$y(t)=2e^{3t}(2-5t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y(s) be the Laplace transform Y=L{y(t)} of y(t)

Applying the Laplace transform to both sides of the differential equation and using the linearity of the transform, we get

L{y'' - 6y' + 9y} = L{0} = 0

(*) L{y''} - 6L{y'} + 9L{y} = 0 ; y(0)=4, y′(0)=2

Using the theorem of the Laplace transform for derivatives, we know that:

$\large\bf L\left\{y''\right\}=s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0)\\\\L\left\{y'\right\}=sY(s)-y(0)$

Replacing the initial values y(0)=4, y′(0)=2 we obtain

$\large\bf L\left\{y''\right\}=s^2Y(s)-4s-2\\\\L\left\{y'\right\}=sY(s)-4$

and our differential equation (*) gets transformed in the algebraic equation

$\large\bf s^2Y(s)-4s-2-6(sY(s)-4)+9Y(s)=0$

Solving for Y(s) we get

$\large\bf s^2Y(s)-4s-2-6(sY(s)-4)+9Y(s)=0\Rightarrow (s^2-6s+9)Y(s)-4s+22=0\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow Y(s)=\frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}$

Now, we brake down the rational expression of Y(s) into partial fractions

$\large\bf \frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}=\frac{4s-22}{(s-3)^2}=\frac{A}{s-3}+\frac{B}{(s-3)^2}$

The numerator of the addition at the right must be equal to 4s-22, so

A(s - 3) + B = 4s - 22

As - 3A + B = 4s - 22

we deduct from here

A = 4 and -3A + B = -22, so

A = 4 and B = -22 + 12 = -10

It means that

$\large\bf \frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}=\frac{4}{s-3}-\frac{10}{(s-3)^2}$

and

$\large\bf Y(s)=\frac{4}{s-3}-\frac{10}{(s-3)^2}$

By taking the inverse Laplace transform on both sides and using the linearity of the inverse:

$\large\bf y(t)=L^{-1}\left\{Y(s)\right\}=4L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}-10L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}$

we know that

$\large\bf L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}=e^{3t}$

and for the first translation property of the inverse Laplace transform

$\large\bf L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}=e^{3t}L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s^2}\right\}=e^{3t}t=te^{3t}$

and the solution of our differential equation is

$\large\bf y(t)=L^{-1}\left\{Y(s)\right\}=4L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}-10L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}=\\\\4e^{3t}-10te^{3t}=2e^{3t}(2-5t)\\\\\boxed{y(t)=2e^{3t}(2-5t)}$
