Answer:

The theoretical probability of spinning a head = 1/2 = 0.5

Therefore, if Gina spins a penny 100 times, the theoretical number of times it will land head side up = 0.5 x 100 = 50 times

Gina's experimental probability is 38/100 = 0.38

Therefore, the experimental probability is less than the theoretical probability.

The main difference between experimental and theoretical probability is that experimental probability is based on the actual results of an experiment (gathered by experimenting repeatedly), whereas theoretical probability is based on possible outcomes based on assumptions.

If Gina continued to spin the penny, as the number of times she spun it increased, you would expect for the experimental probability to get nearer to the theoretical probability of 0.5.

The random nature of the process is why Gina doesn't get the theoretical probability. If she were to repeat this experiment say 1000 or perhaps 10,000 times, then her experimental probability value should get closer to 1/2. It likely won't land *exactly* on 1/2 because again of the random nature of the outcomes.

An SRS of 450 450 high school seniors gained an average of ¯ x = 20 x¯=20 points in their second attempt at the SAT Mathematics
maria [59]

Answer: (15.47, 24.53)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the confidence interval for population mean is given by :_

\overline{x}\pm z^*\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

, where n= sample size.

\sigma = standard deviation.

\overline{x}= sample mean.

z*= Critical value.

Given : n= 450

\overline{x}=20

\sigma=49

Critical value for 95% confidence = z*=1.96     [From z-value table]

Then, the 95% confidence interval will be :-

20\pm (1.96)\dfrac{49}{\sqrt{450}}

\approx 20\pm (1.96)(2.31)

\approx 20\pm 4.53

=(20-4.53,\ 20+4.53)=(15.47,\ 24.53)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the mean change in score μ μ in the population of all high school seniors. : (15.47, 24.53)

A chemistry teacher needs to mix a 20% salt solution with an 80% salt solution to make 20 qt of a 40% salt solution. How many qu
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

  • 6 2/3 qt 80%
  • 13 1/3 qt 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often convenient to solve a mixture problem by letting a variable represent the quantity of the higher-concentration contributor to the mix.

__

We can let x represent the number of quarts of 80% solution needed. Then (20-x) is the number of quarts of 20% solution needed. The amount of salt in the final mix is ...

  0.80x +0.20(20-x) = 0.40(20)

  0.60x = 0.20(20) . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20(20) and simplify

  x = 20/3 = 6 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.60; quarts of 80% solution

  (20 -x) = 13 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . amount of 20% solution needed

The teacher should mix 6 2/3 quarts of 80% solution with 13 1/3 quarts of 20% solution.

You drink a beverage with 120 mg of caffeine. Each hour, the caffeine in your system decreases by about 12%. How long until you
uysha [10]

Answer:

  19.44 hours, about 19 hours 26 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation that describes your caffeine level can be written as ...

  c(t) = 120·(1 -0.12)^t . . . . where t is in hours and c(t) is in mg

We want to find t for c(t) = 10, so ...

  10 = 120(0.88^t)

  10/120 = 0.88^t . . . . . . . divide by 120

  log(1/12) = t·log(0.88) . . . take logarithms

  t = log(1/12)/log(0.88) ≈ 19.4386

It will take about 19.44 hours, or 19 hours 26 minutes, for the caffeine level in your system to decrease to 10 mg.
