Given: Sector BAC with r=8
Radius of inscribed circle O is 2
Find the area of the sector BAC
Answer:
21.75 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a radial line from O to the point where AB intersects the circle. We'll call this point P.
Draw another radial line from O to the point where arc BC intersects the circle. We'll call this point Q.
OQ is equal to the radius of the circle, 2. And AQ is equal to the radius of the sector, 8. Therefore, the length of AO is 6.
Next, OP is equal to the radius of the circle, 2. Since AB is tangent to the circle, it is perpendicular to OP.
So we have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 6 and a short leg of 2. Finding the angle ∠PAO:
sin ∠PAO = 2/6
∠PAO = asin(1/3)
That means the angle ∠BAC is double that:
∠BAC = 2 asin(1/3)
∠BAC ≈ 38.94°
Therefore, the area of the sector is:
A = (θ/360) πr²
A = (38.94/360) π(8)²
A ≈ 21.75
The area of the sector is approximately 21.75 square units.
Find parametric equations and a parameter interval for the motion of a particle that starts at (-a, 0 )and traces the circle x^2 + y^2 = a ^2.
a. once clockwise.
b. once counterclockwise.
c. three times clockwise.
d. three times counterclockwise.
Answer:
a) [tex]x=a\cdot cos(b), y=-a\cdot sin(b), 0 \leq b \leq 2\pi[/tex]
b) [tex]x=a\cdot cos(b), y=a\cdot sin(b), 0 \leq b \leq 2\pi[/tex]
c) [tex]x=a\cdot cos(b), y=-a\cdot sin(b), 0 \leq b \leq 6\pi[/tex]
d) [tex]x=a\cdot cos(b), y=a\cdot sin(b), 0 \leq b \leq 6\pi[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The parametric equation for a circle is:
[tex]x=a\cdot cos(b)[/tex]
[tex]y=a\cdot sin(b)[/tex]
Where a is the radius and b is the angular displacement.
a) If a is negative in y and 0 ≤ b ≤ 2π, we have clockwise moves.
[tex]x=a\cdot cos(b), y=-a\cdot sin(b), 0 \leq b \leq 2\pi[/tex]
b) If a is positive in y and 0 ≤ b ≤ 2π, we have counterclockwise moves.
[tex]x=a\cdot cos(b), y=a\cdot sin(b), 0 \leq b \leq 2\pi[/tex]
c) If a is negative in y and 0 ≤ b ≤ 6π, we have three times clockwise moves.
[tex]x=a\cdot cos(b), y=-a\cdot sin(b), 0 \leq b \leq 6\pi[/tex]
d) If a is positive in y and 0 ≤ b ≤ 6π, we have three times counterclockwise moves.
[tex]x=a\cdot cos(b), y=a\cdot sin(b), 0 \leq b \leq 6\pi[/tex]

The question requires finding parametric equations for a particle's motion along a circle of radius a, both clockwise and counterclockwise for one and three complete cycles. The equations are based on the standard circle parametric equations with adjustments to the angle parameter \(\theta\) and the interval according to the direction and number of cycles.
Explanation:The student is asking for the parametric equations and parameter intervals for the motion of a particle tracing a circle, both clockwise and counterclockwise, once and three times. A circle with radius a and center at the origin has standard parametric equations x = a cos(\theta) and y = a sin(\theta), where \(\theta\) is the parameter usually representing an angle in radians.
For one complete cycle clockwise (negative direction), we can set \theta = -t where t varies from 0 to 2\pi.For one complete cycle counterclockwise (positive direction), we can set \theta = t where t varies from 0 to 2\pi.For three complete cycles clockwise, multiply the interval by three, so t ranges from 0 to 6\pi.For three complete cycles counterclockwise, again multiply the interval by three, so t ranges from 0 to 6\pi.Therefore, the appropriate parametric equations for each situation are:
a. x(t) = a cos(-t), y(t) = a sin(-t); interval: t \in [0, 2\pi]b. x(t) = a cos(t), y(t) = a sin(t); interval: t \in [0, 2\pi]c. x(t) = a cos(-3t), y(t) = a sin(-3t); interval: t \in [0, 2\pi]d. x(t) = a cos(3t), y(t) = a sin(3t); interval: t \in [0, 2\pi]Listed below are the top 10 annual salaries (in millions of dollars) of TV personalities. Find the mean, median, mode, and midrange for the given sample data in millions of dollars.
Given that these are the top 10 salaries, do we know anything about the salaries of TV personalities in general?
Are such top lists valuable for gaining insight into the larger population?8.3 9.2 9.8 12.1 13.5 14.7 26.5 34.7 36.5 37a. the mean is______b.the median is ______c. Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes in your choice
A. The mode is______ ( use a comma to seperate answers as needed)B. There is no moded. the midrange is_____
Answer:
a. 20.23
b. 14.1
c. 8.3, 9.2, 9.8, 12.1, 13.5, 14.7, 26.5, 34.7, 36.5, 37
d. 22.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum = 202.3
Count = 10
Mean = 202.3 / 10
Mean = 20.23
Since there is an even number of data values the median is the mean of the two data values in the middle, calculated as follows;
8.3, 9.2, 9.8, 12.1, 13.5, 14.7, 26.5, 34.7, 36.5, 37
Median = (13.5 + 14.7) / 2
Median = 14.1
Mode is the value or values in the data set that occur most frequently. Since all are occurred once so all the values will be considered as Mode;
Mode = 8.3, 9.2, 9.8, 12.1, 13.5, 14.7, 26.5, 34.7, 36.5, 37
Midrange = (Highest Value + Lowest Value) / 2
Midrange = (37 + 8.3) / 2
Midrange = 22.65
You collect a random sample of 28 adult golfers and record two scores for each: one taken before the subject receives professional coaching and one taken after. What test statistic should you use in a significance test for the difference between the before-coaching scores and the after-coaching scores?
Answer:
Paired t test
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that you collect a random sample of 28 adult golfers and record two scores for each: one taken before the subject receives professional coaching and one taken after.
Here subject of interest is to study whether the professional coaching really improves the scores.
For this two groups are taken from golfers and they were given chances to play and scores were recorded before and after coaching. The same subject with two different scores recorded and the difference calculated. Hence here the appropriate test is paired t test
Statistic should be t because population std devition is not known.
Hence paired t test for comparison of mean differences before and after should be done.
Does involving a statistician to help with statistical methods improve the chance that a medical research paper will be published? A study of papers submitted to two medical journals found that 135 of 190 papers that lacked statistical assistance were rejected without even being reviewed in detail. In contrast, 293 of the 514 papers with statistical help were sent back without review. Find the value of the z-test statistic. Give your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
z-test statistic is 3.38
Step-by-step explanation:
Null and alternative hypotheses are:
[tex]H_{0}[/tex]: the proportion of papers that lacked statistical assistance sent back without review is the same as the proportion of papers with statistical help sent back without review
[tex]H_{a}[/tex]: the proportion of papers that lacked statistical assistance sent back without review is different than the proportion of papers with statistical help sent back without review
Test statistic can be found using the equation:
[tex]z=\frac{p1-p2}{\sqrt{{p*(1-p)*(\frac{1}{n1} +\frac{1}{n2}) }}}[/tex] where
p1 is the sample proportion of papers that lacked statistical assistance sent back without review ( ([tex]\frac{135}{190}=0.71[/tex])p2 is the sample proportion of papers with statistical help sent back without review ([tex]\frac{293}{514}=0.57[/tex])p is the pool proportion of p1 and p2 ([tex]\frac{135+293}{190+514}=0.61[/tex])n1 is the sample size of papers that lacked statistical assistance (190)n2 is the sample size of papers with statistical help (514)Then [tex]z=\frac{0.71-0.57}{\sqrt{{0.61*0.39*(\frac{1}{190} +\frac{1}{514}) }}}[/tex] ≈ 3.38
For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.
A random sample of 5020 permanent dwellings on an entire reservation showed that 1564 were traditional hogans. (a) Let p be the proportion of all permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans.
Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Answer:
[tex]p = \frac{1564}{5020} = 0.3116[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The point estimate for the population proportion is the number of sucesses divided by the size of the sample.
In this problem, we have that:
A success is being a tradition hogan in the reservation(the population). In a sample of 5020, 1564 are traditional hogans.
So [tex]p = \frac{1564}{5020} = 0.3116[/tex]
A recent study conducted by the state government attempts to determine whether the voting public supports a further increase in cigarette taxes to help the public schools. The opinion poll recently sampled 1500 voting age citizens. 622 of the sampled citizens were in favor of an increase in taxes. The state government would like to decide if there is enough evidence to establish whether the proportion of citizens supporting an increase in cigarette taxes is significantly greater than 66%. At what level of significance will the null hypothesis not be rejected?
Answer:
0.001%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a recent study conducted by the state government attempts to determine whether the voting public supports a further increase in cigarette taxes to help the public schools
n = 1500
favour x = 622
Sample proportion p = [tex]622/1500 = 0.4147[/tex]
[tex]H_0: p = 0.66\\H_a: p >0.66[/tex]
(right tailed test)
Assume H0 to be true.
Std error = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.66*0.34}{1500} } \\=0.01223[/tex]
p difference = -0.2453
Test statistic Z = [tex]\frac{-0.2453}{0.01223} \\=-20.05[/tex]
p value <0.00001
Hence fon ull hypothesis not to be rejected significant level should be greater than 0.00001 or 0.001%
When you construct a confidence interval for the difference between two proportions, what do you use as an unbiased estimate of the difference between the two proportions?
To construct a confidence interval for the difference between two proportions, you use an unbiased estimate of the difference between the two proportions.
Explanation:When constructing a confidence interval for the difference between two proportions, an unbiased estimate of the difference between the two proportions is obtained using the formula:
(p1 - p2) ± ME
Where:
p1 and p2 are the sample proportionsME is the margin of errorThe margin of error is calculated as:
ME = z * sqrt((p1*(1-p1)/n1) + (p2*(1-p2)/n2))
Where:
z is the z-score corresponding to the desired confidence leveln1 and n2 are the sample sizesUsing this formula, you can calculate the confidence interval for the difference between two proportions.
Determine the point estimate of the population mean and margin of error for the confidence interval.Lower bound is 22, upper bound is 28The point estimate of the population mean is ___The margin of error for the confidence interval is ___
Answer: The point estimate of the population mean is 25.
The margin of error for the confidence interval is 3 .
Step-by-step explanation:
The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-
[tex](\overline{x}-E , \overline{x}+E)[/tex] , here [tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the point estimate of the population mean and E is the margin of error .
As per given , we have
Lower bound of CI = [tex]\overline{x}-E =22[/tex] (1)
Upper bound of CI = [tex]\overline{x}+E =28[/tex] (2)
Add (1) and (2) , we get
[tex]2\overline{x}=50\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=25[/tex]
Subtract (1) from (2) , we get
[tex]2E=6\\\Rightarrow\ E=3[/tex]
Hence, the point estimate of the population mean is 25.
The margin of error for the confidence interval is 3 .
Answer:
1. The point estimate for population mean is 25.
2)
[tex]\text{Margin of error} = \pm 3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Confidence interval: (22,28)
Confidence interval is calculated as:
[tex]\text{Sample mean }\pm \text{ Margin of error}[/tex]
Thus, we can write the equations:
[tex]\bar{x} - \text{Margin of error} = 22\\\bar{x} + \text{Margin of error} = 28[/tex]
1) The point estimate of the population mean
To calculate the point estimate of the population mean we solve the two equations, to find the sample mean
Adding the two equations we get:
[tex]2\bar{x} = 22+ 28 = 50\\\bar{x} = 25[/tex]
Thus, the point estimate for population mean is 25.
2) The margin of error for the confidence interval
Putting the values from the equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Margin of error} = 28 - 25 = 3[/tex]
Thus, the margin of error f the given confidence interval is
[tex]\text{Margin of error} = \pm 3[/tex]
Patterson Electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. One of the components has an annual demand of 250 units, and this is constant throughout the year. Carrying cost is estimated to be $1 per unit per year, and the ordering cost is $30 per order.a. To minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed?
b. How many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy?
c. What is the average inventory if costs are minimized?
d. Suppose that the ordering cost is not $30, and B. Brady has been ordering 250 units each time an order is placed. For this order policy (of Q = 250 to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.
Answer:
a) Q = 122 units/order
b) Number of orders = 2.05 orders/year
c) Average inventory = 61 units
d) Ordering costs = 125 $/order
Step-by-step explanation:
The economic quantity order (EOQ) formula allow us to minimize the ordering cost, in function of the demand, ordering cost and holding cost.
The EOQ formula is:
[tex]EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} }[/tex]
where:
D: demand in units/year
S: Order costs, per order
H: holding or carrying cost, per unit a year
a) In this case:
D: 250 u/year
S: 30 $/order
H: 1 $/year-unit
[tex]EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} }=\sqrt{\frac{2*250*30}{1} }=\sqrt{15000}=122.47\approx122[/tex]
b) If we have a demand of 250 units/year and we place orders of 122 units, the amount of orders/year is:
[tex]\#orders=\frac{D}{EOQ}=\frac{250\,units/year}{122\,units/order}=2.05\, \frac{orders}{year}[/tex]
c) We assume that there is no safety stock, so everytime the stock hits 0 units, a new order enter the inventory.
In this case, the average inventory can be estimated as the average between the inventory when a new order enters the inventory (122 u.) and the inventory right before a order enters (0 u.)
[tex]\#av.inventory=\frac{122+0}{2}=61[/tex]
The average inventory is 61 units.
d) If 250 units is the optimal quantity for an order, it means it is equal to the EOQ. We can calculate the new ordering costs as:
[tex]EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} }=\sqrt{\frac{2*250*S}{1} }=250\\\\2*250*S=250^2\\\\S=250/2=125\,\$/order[/tex]
A) To minimize cost, the number of units that should be ordered each time an order is placed is; 122 units
B) The number of orders per year needed with the optimal policy is; 2 orders per year.
C) The average inventory if costs are minimized is; 61 units
D) For the order policy of Q = 250 to be optimal, the ordering cost would have to be; $125 per order
The formula for economic quantity order (EOQ) is given as;
EOQ = √(2DS/H)
Where;
D is demand rate S is set up costs H is holding costWe are given;
Annual demand; D = 250 units/year
Holding Cost; H = $1 per unit per year
Set up costs; S = $30 per order
A) EOQ here is;EOQ = √(2 × 250 × 30/1)
EOQ = 122.47
But EOQ has to be a whole number and so we approximate to the nearest whole number to get;
EOQ = 122
B) With the optimal policy, the number of orders per year is gotten from the formula;n = D/EOQ
Plugging in the relevant values gives;
n = 250/122
n = 2.049
But number of orders has to be a whole number. Thus, we approximate to the nearest whole number to get;
n = 2 orders per year
C) If costs are minimized, the average inventory is defined as the average between of the inventory when a new order enters and the inventory just before a new order enters.Before a new order enters the inventory is 0 if we assume that there is no safe stock. Thus;
average inventory = (122 + 0)/2 = 61 units
D) We are told that ordering cost is not $30 but Optimal order EOQ is 250 and so;EOQ = √(2DS/H)
⇒ 250 = √(2 × 250 × S/1)
Square both sides to get;
250² = 500S
S = 250²/500
S = $125 per order

What kinds of functions can be integrated using partial fraction decomposition? Choose the correct answer below
A. Inverse functions
B. Rational functions
C. Periodic functions
D. Logarithmic functions
Answer:
B. Rational functions
Step-by-step explanation:
The partial fraction decomposition is used for functions there are described by fractions, and for which the substitution method is not possible. These are rational functions, in which both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials.
So the correct answer is:
B. Rational functions
Partial fraction decomposition is used to simplify complex rational functions to make them easier to integrate. Rational function is the correct answer.
Explanation:The correct answer is B. Rational functions. Partial fraction decomposition is a mathematical technique used essentially to simplify complex rational functions. A rational function is a function that can be defined as the ratio of two polynomials. By breaking down a complex rational function into simpler fractions (which is what partial fraction decomposition does), integration becomes more manageable. For example, it's easier to integrate simple fractions like 1/x or 2/x^2, which would be the result of a partial fraction decomposition, than complex, intertwined expressions.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the change in the cost of goods over time. If 1982 is used as the base year of comparison in some country, (CPI =100 in 1982), then the CPI of 191.2 in 2006 would indicate that an item that cost $ 1.00 in 1982 would cost $ 1.91 in 2006 in this country. It is known that the CPI in this country has been increasing at an approximately linear rate for the past 30 years.
a. Use this information to determine a linear function for this data, letting x be the years since 1982.
b. Based on your function, what was the CPI in 2000? Compare this estimate to the actual CPI of 167.5 for this country.
c. How is the annual CPI changing?
Answer:
a) [tex]y = 3.8 x +100[/tex]
b) [tex]Abs. change= |168.4-167.5|=0.9[/tex]
So the calculated value is 0.9 points above the actual value.
[tex]Relative. Change =\frac{|168.4 -167.5|}{167.5}x100 =0.537[/tex]%
And the calculated value it's 0.537% higher than the actual value.
c) For this case we can use the slope obtained from the linear model to answer this question, and we can conclude that the CPI is increasing at approximate 3.8 units per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given
1982 , CPI=100
1986, CPI = 191.2
Notation
Let CPI the dependent variable y. And the time th independent variable x.
For this case we want to adjust a linear model givn by the following expression:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
Solution to the problem
Part a
For this case we can find the slope with the following formula:
[tex] m =\frac{CPI_{2006}-CPI_{1982}}{2006-1982}[/tex]
And if we replace we got:
[tex] m =\frac{191.2-100}{2006-1982}=3.8[/tex]
Let X represent the number of years after. Then for 1982 t = 0, and if we replace we can find b:
[tex] 100 = 3.8(0)+b[/tex]
And then [tex]b=100[/tex]
So then our linear model is given by:
[tex]y = 3.8 x +100[/tex]
Part b
For this case we need to find the years since 1982 and we got x = 2000-1982=18, and if we rpelace this into our linear model we got:
[tex]y = 3.8(18) +100=168.4[/tex]
And the actual value is 167.5 we can compare the result using absolute change or relative change like this:
[tex]Abs. change= |168.4-167.5|=0.9[/tex]
So the calculated value is 0.9 points above the actual value.
And we can find also the relative change like this:
[tex]Relative. Change =\frac{|Calculated -Real|}{Real}x100[/tex]
And if we replace we got:
[tex]Relative. Change =\frac{|168.4 -167.5|}{167.5}x100 =0.537[/tex]%
And the calculated value it's 0.537% higher than the actual value.
Part c
For this case we can use the slope obtained from the linear model to answer this question, and we can conclude that the CPI is increasing at approximate 3.8 units per year.
Given an actual demand this period of 61, a forecast value for this period of 58, and an alpha of 0.3, what is the experimential smoothing forecast for the next period?
Answer:
Experimental smoothing forecast for the next period will be 58.9
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given actual demand is [tex]A_{t-1}=61[/tex]
Initial forecast [tex]f_{t-1}=61[/tex] and [tex]\alpha =0.3[/tex]
We have to find the experimental smoothing forecast [tex]f_t[/tex]
Experimental forecast is given by
[tex]f_t=(1-\alpha )f_{t-1}+\alpha A_{t-1}=(1-0.3)\times 58+0.3\times 61=58.9[/tex]
So experimental smoothing forecast for the next period will be 58.9
The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is a standardized test for college admissions in the U.S. Scores on the SAT can range from 600 to 2400.
Suppose that PrepIt! is a company that offers classes to help students prepare for the SAT exam. In their ad, PrepIt! claims to produce "statistically significant" increases in SAT scores. This claim comes from a study in which 427 PrepIt! students took the SAT before and after PrepIt! classes. These students are compared to 2,733 students who took the SAT twice, without any type of formal preparation between tries.
We also conduct a hypothesis test with this data and find that students who retake the SAT without PrepIt! also do significantly better (p-value < 0.0001). So now we want to determine if PrepIt! students improve more than students who retake the SAT without going through the PrepIt! program. In a hypothesis test, the difference in sample mean improvement ("PrepIt! gain" minus "control gain") gives a p-value of 0.004. A 90% confidence interval based on this sample difference is 3.0 to 13.0.
What can we conclude?
A. The PrepIt! claim of statistically significant differences is valid. PrepIt! classes produce improvements in SAT scores that are 3% to 13% higher than improvements seen in the comparison group.
B. Compared to the control group, the PrepIt! course produces statistically significant improvements in SAT scores. But the gains are too small to be of practical importance in college admissions.
C. We are 90% confident that between 3% and 13% of students will improve their SAT scores after taking PrepIt! This is not very impressive, as we can see by looking at the small p-value.
Answer:
A. The PrepIt! claim of statistically significant differences is valid. PrepIt! classes produce improvements in SAT scores that are 3% to 13% higher than improvements seen in the comparison group.
False, We conduct a confidence interval associated to the difference of scores with additional preparation and without preparation. And we can't conclude that the results are related to a % of higher improvements.
B. Compared to the control group, the PrepIt! course produces statistically significant improvements in SAT scores. But the gains are too small to be of practical importance in college admissions.
Correct, since we net gain is between 3.0 and 13 with 90% of confidence and if we see tha range for the SAT exam is between 600 to 2400 and this gain is lower compared to this range of values.
C. We are 90% confident that between 3% and 13% of students will improve their SAT scores after taking PrepIt! This is not very impressive, as we can see by looking at the small p-value.
False, we not conduct a confidence interval for the difference of proportions. So we can't conclude in terms of a proportion of a percentage.

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,df)
The standard error is given by the following formula:
[tex]SE=\sqrt{(\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{s^2_2}{n_2})}[/tex]
After replace in the formula for the confidence interval we got this:
[tex]3.0 < \mu_1 -\mu_2 <13.0 [/tex]
And we need to interpret this result:
A. The PrepIt! claim of statistically significant differences is valid. PrepIt! classes produce improvements in SAT scores that are 3% to 13% higher than improvements seen in the comparison group.
False, We conduct a confidence interval associated to the difference of scores with additional preparation and without preparation. And we can't conclude that the results are related to a % of higher improvements.
B. Compared to the control group, the PrepIt! course produces statistically significant improvements in SAT scores. But the gains are too small to be of practical importance in college admissions.
Correct, since we net gain is between 3.0 and 13 with 90% of confidence and if we see tha range for the SAT exam is between 600 to 2400 and this gain is lower compared to this range of values.
C. We are 90% confident that between 3% and 13% of students will improve their SAT scores after taking PrepIt! This is not very impressive, as we can see by looking at the small p-value.
False, we not conduct a confidence interval for the difference of proportions. So we can't conclude in terms of a proportion of a percentage.
Find an equation of the sphere with center s23, 2, 5d and radius 4. What is the intersection of this sphere with the yz-plane?
Answer:
Equation: [tex](x+3)^2+(y-2)^2+(z-5)^2=16[/tex]
Intersection: [tex](y-2)^2+(z-5)^2=7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to write an equation of the sphere with center center [tex](-3,2,5)[/tex] and radius 4.
We know that equation of a sphere with radius 'r' and center at [tex](h,k,l)[/tex] is in form:
[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2+(z-l)^2=r^2[/tex]
Since center of the given sphere is at point [tex](-3,2,5)[/tex], so we will substitute [tex]h=-3[/tex], [tex]k=2[/tex], [tex]l=5[/tex] and [tex]r=4[/tex] in above equation as:
[tex](x-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2+(z-5)^2=4^2[/tex]
[tex](x+3)^2+(y-2)^2+(z-5)^2=16[/tex]
Therefore, our required equation would be [tex](x+3)^2+(y-2)^2+(z-5)^2=16[/tex].
To find the intersection of our sphere with the yz-plane, we will substitute [tex]x=0[/tex] in our equation as:
[tex](0+3)^2+(y-2)^2+(z-5)^2=16[/tex]
[tex]9+(y-2)^2+(z-5)^2=16[/tex]
[tex]9-9+(y-2)^2+(z-5)^2=16-9[/tex]
[tex](y-2)^2+(z-5)^2=7[/tex]
Therefore, the intersection of the given sphere with the yz-plane would be [tex](y-2)^2+(z-5)^2=7[/tex].
Sue and Kathy were doing their algebra homework. They were asked to write the equation of
the line that passes through the points (-3,4) and (6,1). Sue wrote y - 4 = -(x + 3) and Kathy
wrote y = -x + 3. Justify why both students are correct.
Answer:both students are incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as
y = mx + c
Where
m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)
Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
y2 = 1
y1 = 4
x2 = 6
x1 = - 3
Slope = (1 - 4)/(6 - -3) = -3/9 = -1/3
To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = -1/3, x = 6 and y = 1 into y = mx + c. It becomes
1 = -1/3 × 6 + c = -2 + c
c = 1 + 2 = 3
The equation becomes
y = -x/3 + 3
If the equation was written in the slope intercept form which is expressed as
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
It becomes
y - 4 = -1/3(x - - 3)
y - 4 = -1/3(x + 3)
Both students are incorrect
Listed below are student evaluation ratings of courses, where a rating of 5 is for "excellent." The ratings were obtained at one university in a state. Construct a confidence interval using a 95% confidence level. What does the confidence interval tell about the population of all college students in the state?
3.63.6,
2.92.9,
3.83.8,
4.54.5,
3.23.2,
3.93.9,
3.33.3,
4.64.6,
4.14.1,
4.34.3,
4.44.4,
3.93.9,
3.23.2,
4.24.2,
3.83.8
Answer:
3.573 to 4.127
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Sample size = 15
Mean = Sum of ratings/ sample size
Mean = 57.7/15
Mean = 3.85
Degree of freedom = sample size - 1
Degree of freedom = 15 - 1 = 14
df = 14
Then we calculate the standard deviation
(x - mean)² ||
(3.6 - 3.85)² || 0.0625
(2.9 - 3.85)² || 0.9025
(3.8 - 3.85)² || 0.0025
(4.5 - 3.85)² || 0.4225
(3.2 - 3.85)² || 0.4225
( 3.9 - 3.85)² || 0.0025
( 3.3 - 3.85)² || 0.3025
( 4.6 - 3.85)² || 0.5625
(4.1 - 3.85)² || 0.0625
(4.3 - 3.85)² || 0.2025
4.4 - 3.85)² || 0.3025
( 3.9 - 3.85)² || 0.0025
(3.2 - 3.85)² || 0.4225
( 4.2 - 3.85)² || 0.1225
( 3.8 - 3.85)² || 0.0025
Total || 3.7975
Variance = 3.7975/15 = 0.253167
Standard Deviation = √0.253167 = 0.50315703314174194
Standard Deviation = 0.5 ------- Approximated
The next step is to subtract the confidence level from 1, then divide by two.
i.e (1 - 0.95)/2 = 0.025
α = 0.025
Then we look up this answer to step in the t-distribution table.
For 14 degrees of freedom (df) and α = 0.025, my result is 2.145
The next step is to divide the sample standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.
0.5 / √15 = 0.129
Next is to multiply this result by step 2.145 (from the t table)
0.129 × 2.45 = 0.277
For the lower end of the range, subtract 0.277 from the sample mean.
3.85 – 0.277 = 3.573
Step 7: For the upper end of the range, add step 0.277 to the sample mean.
3.85 + 0.277 = 4.127
Golf course designer Roberto Langabeer is evaluating two sites, Palmetto Dunes and Ocean Greens, for his next golf course. He wants to prove that Palmetto Dunes residents (population 1) play golf more often than Ocean Greens residents (population 2). Roberto plans to test this hypothesis using a random sample of 81 individuals from each suburb. His alternative hypothesis is __________.
Answer:
a) Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu_{1} \leq \mu_{2}[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu_{1} > \mu_{2}[/tex]
b) [tex]z_{crit}=2.33[/tex]
And since the calculated value is lower than the critical value we have enough evidence at 0.01 of significance to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a
A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".
The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".
The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".
We want to test this:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu_{1} \leq \mu_{2}[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu_{1} > \mu_{2}[/tex]
Part b
Golf course designer Roberto Langabeer is evaluating two sites, Palmetto Dunes and Ocean Greens, for his next golf course. He wants to prove that Palmetto Dunes residents (population 1) play golf more often than Ocean Greens residents (population 2). Roberto commissions a market survey to test this hypothesis. The market researcher used a random sample of 64 individuals from each suburb, and reported the following: X 1 = 15 times per month and X 2 = 14 times per month. Assume that σ 1 = 2 and σ 2 = 3 . With α = .01 , the critical z value is _____.
Data given and notation
[tex]\bar X_{1}=15[/tex] represent the mean for the sample 1
[tex]\bar X_{2}=14[/tex] represent the mean for the sample 2
[tex]\sigma_{1}=2[/tex] represent the population deviation for 1
[tex]\sigma_{2}=3[/tex] represent the population deviation for 2
[tex]n_{1}=64[/tex] sample size selected for 1
[tex]n_{2}=64[/tex] sample size selected for 2
[tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
The statistic is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}}[/tex] (1)
[tex]z=\frac{15-14}{\sqrt{\frac{2^2}{64}+\frac{3^2}{64}}}}=2.22[/tex]
In order to find the critical value we need a value that accumulates 0.01 of the area on the right tail, since we are conducting a right tailed test. And the critical value is:
[tex]z_{crit}=2.33[/tex]
And since the calculated value is lower than the critical value we have enough evidence at 0.01 of significance to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.
Nonpregnant women have an average fasting blood glucose level of about 80 mg/100mL of blood. Researchers want to determine if pregnancy causes a change in blood glucose level. They take a random sample of 25 third trimester women and find their average fasting blood glucose level is 75 mg/100mL with sample standard deviation of 9.68.(a) Find 90% and 95% confidence intervals for average fasting blood glucose level of third trimester women. (b) Write a suitable nul and alternate hypothesis and then determine if pregnancy has a statistically significant effect on blood glucose level.
Answer:
a) The 90% confidence interval would be given by (71.689;78.311)
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (71.012;78.988)
b) [tex]p_v =2*P(t_{24}<-2.583)=0.016[/tex]
If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. So we have a significant effect.
Step-by-step explanation:
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
[tex]\bar X=75[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
[tex]s=9.68[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation
n=25 represent the sample size
Assuming the X follows a normal distribution
[tex]X \sim N(\mu, \sigma=0.15[/tex]
The sample mean [tex]\bar X[/tex] is distributed on this way:
[tex]\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]
Part a
The confidence interval on this case is given by:
[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
We can find the degrees of freedom like this:
[tex]df=n-1=25-1=24[/tex]
confidence 90%
The next step would be find the value of [tex]\t_{\alpha/2}[/tex], [tex]\alpha=1-0.90=0.1[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2=0.05[/tex]
Using the t distribution with 24 df, excel or a calculator we see that:
[tex]t_{\alpha/2}=1.71[/tex]
Since we have all the values we can replace:
[tex]75 - 1.71\frac{9.68}{\sqrt{25}}=71.689[/tex]
[tex]75 + 1.71\frac{9.68}{\sqrt{25}}=78.311[/tex]
So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (71.689;78.311)
Confidence 95%
The next step would be find the value of [tex]\t_{\alpha/2}[/tex], [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2=0.025[/tex]
Using the t distribution with 24 df, excel or a calculator we see that:
[tex]t_{\alpha/2}=2.06[/tex]
Since we have all the values we can replace:
[tex]75 - 2.06\frac{9.68}{\sqrt{25}}=71.012[/tex]
[tex]75 + 2.06\frac{9.68}{\sqrt{25}}=78.988[/tex]
So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (71.012;78.988)
Part b
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu = 80[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu \neq 80[/tex]
Since we don't know the population deviation, is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".
Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
[tex]t=\frac{75-80}{\frac{9.68}{\sqrt{25}}}=-2.583[/tex]
P-value
The degrees of freedom are 25-1=24
Since is a two tailed test the p value would given by:
[tex]p_v =2*P(t_{24}<-2.583)=0.016[/tex]
Conclusion
If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v<\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. So we have a significant effect.
Which of the following is a polynomial function? Select all correct answers. Select all that apply: f(x)=4⋅11x f(x)=3⋅18x f(x)=10⋅17x f(x)=−4x3−4x2+5x+1 f(x)=−2x−1
Answer:
All of them are polynomial functions
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that a polynomial function of x is a function whose value f(x) is always equal to [tex]f(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+\cdots a_nx^n[/tex] for a fixed n≥0 (the degree of f) and fixed coefficients [tex]a_i\in\mathbb{R}[/tex]
For example, [tex]f(x)=x^2+3x[/tex] is a polynomial function, but [tex]g(x)=2^x+x[/tex] is not because [tex]2^n[/tex] is not a nonnegative power of x. Another example of a non-polynomial function is [tex]g(x)=x^{-1}=\frac{1}{x}[/tex].
f(x)=4⋅11x is polynomial with degree 1 and [tex]a_0=0,a_1=4\cdot 11[/tex]. For the same reasons, f(x)=3⋅18x and f(x)=10⋅17x are polynomial functions.
f(x)=−4x³−4x²+5x+1 is a polynomial function of degree 3 with [tex]a_0=1,a_1=5, a_2=a_3=-4[/tex]. and f(x)=−2x−1 is a polynomial function of degree 1 and coefficients [tex]a_0=-1,a_1=-2[/tex].
In mathematics, a polynomial function involves operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative, whole-number exponents of variables. Here, the polynomial functions from the given list are: f(x)=−4x3−4x2+5x+1 and f(x)=−2x−1.
Explanation:In the realm of mathematics, a polynomial function is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, using only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative, whole-number exponents of variables. When asked to determine which of the given functions are polynomial functions, we can apply this definition. Your options were: f(x)=4⋅11x, f(x)=3⋅18x, f(x)=10⋅17x, f(x)=−4x3−4x2+5x+1, and f(x)=−2x−1.
By our definition, the polynomial functions from the list are: f(x)=−4x3−4x2+5x+1 and f(x)=−2x−1. The other three functions are not polynomial functions as they do not comply with the characteristics of polynomial functions.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a random sample of 250 men yielded 175 who said they'd ridden a motorcycle at some time in their lives, while a similar sample of 215 women yielded only 43 that had done so.
For proportions since binomial and sample size large we can use z critical values.
Sample I II
N 250 215 465
X 175 43 218
p 0.7 0.2 0.4688
p difference = 0.5
Std error of difference = [tex]\sqrt{p(1-p)(\frac{1}{n_1}+ \frac{1}{n_2} }\\=\sqrt{0.4688*0.5312)(\frac{1}{250} + \frac{1}{215} )}\\=0.0409[/tex]
Margin of error for 99% = 2.58*std error = 0.105
Confidence interval 99% = (0.5±0.105)

A newsletter for investors recently reported that the average stock price for a blue chip stock over the past 12 months was $72. No standard deviation was given. Is the standard deviation more likely to be $6, $26, or $60? Explain.
Answer:
$6
Explanation:
The standard deviation gives an idea of the dispertion of values in those 12 month. A hight value of standard deviation means that the prices changed in big increments ( for example one month is $20, other month is $60 and other $85). If that would be the case, is important to investors to know it and the deviation should be reported.
So, given that it isnt reported, we can say that the price vary but only a few dollars, resulting in a small standard deviation such as $6.
Final answer:
A standard deviation of $6 for a blue chip stock is more likely than $26 or $60, as blue chip stocks are typically stable with less price volatility.
Explanation:
Regarding the standard deviation of the blue chip stock price, it is unlikely that the standard deviation would be very high considering the nature of blue chip stocks. Blue chip stocks are known for their stability and are typically less volatile than other types of stocks. Therefore, a standard deviation of $60 would suggest a very high level of volatility, which is uncharacteristic of blue chip stocks. A standard deviation of $6 is more plausible because it indicates minor fluctuations around the average price of $72, which is more in line with the expected behavior of blue chip stocks. A standard deviation of $26 is possible but less likely than $6, given that such a value still represents a fairly high level of volatility for blue chip stocks, which are commonly considered as safe, long-term investments with relatively steady prices.

What type of variable is the number of auto accidents reported in a given month?
Select one:
A. Interval
B. Ratio
C. Continuous
D. Discrete
Answer:
D. Discrete
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of reported car accidents is a countable variable, that can only be natural values.
You can have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 100, ..., 1000 reported car accidents in a given month.
You cannnot have 4.5 reported car accidents in a given month, for example.
So the correct answer is:
D. Discrete
The type of variable that represents the number of auto accidents reported in a given month is a discrete variable, as it can only take certain values (0, 1, 2, etc.), and never a fraction or decimal.
Explanation:The type of variable that best describes the number of auto accidents reported in a given month is Discrete.
In statistics, variables are classified into different types based on their properties. A discrete variable is one that can only take certain values. This is the case for the number of auto accidents in a month, which could be 0, 1, 2, 3, etc., but never a fraction or decimal value like 2.5.
In contrast, a continuous variable could take any value within a certain range, including fractions and decimals. Meanwhile, interval and ratio are types of data measurements that don't apply in this context.

a. The need for precise information is less important.
b. The number of items comprising the population is smaller.
c. The likelihood of selecting a representative sample is relatively low.
d. The use of sampling would be appropriate in all of these situations.
Sampling is most appropriate
option c
Explanation:In the given multiple choice situations, the use of sampling would most probably be appropriate in the situation where 'The need for precise information is less important'. Sampling is a procedure of statistical analysis where a predetermined number of observations are taken from a larger population. It is typically used when it is impracticable or expensive to study the entire population. It's an ideal method when having precise and exact information is not as crucial, however, the results will be sufficient to make accurate predictions or conclusions about a larger group.
On the other hand, sampling may not be substantially beneficial for smaller populations or where the likelihood of selecting a representative sample is low because the results might be skewed or non-representative of the larger group. In such conditions, examining the entire population or utilizing another form of data collection would be more advantageous.

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.
6x−13−5x=5x+8−5x
x−13=8
Step 3: Add 13 to both sides.
x−13+13=8+13
x=21
Answer:
D. 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation: [tex]\[3(2x – 1) – 10 = 8 + 5x\] [/tex]
Simplifying:
[tex]\[6x – 3 – 10 = 8 + 5x\] [/tex]
=> [tex]\[6x – 13 = 8 + 5x\] [/tex]
=> [tex]\[6x – 5x = 8 + 13\] [/tex]
=> [tex]\[(6 – 5)x = 21\] [/tex]
=> [tex]\[x = 21\] [/tex]
Verifying by substituting the value of x in the equation:
Left Hand Side: [tex]\[3(2x – 1) – 10\][/tex]
[tex]\[3(2*21 – 1) – 10\][/tex]
= [tex]\[3(42 – 1) – 10\][/tex]
= [tex]\[3(41) – 10\][/tex]
= [tex]\[123 – 10\][/tex]
= [tex]\[113\][/tex]
Right Hand Side: [tex]\[8 + 5x\][/tex]
= [tex]\[8 + 5*21\][/tex]
= [tex]\[8 + 105\][/tex]
= [tex]\[113\][/tex]
So, Left Hand Side = Right Hand Side when x=21.
Sydney is playing a game on a map with a marked grid. To start, she places a game piece at (1, 4). She moves 3 units east and 2 units north and places a second game piece at (4, 6). She continues playing game pieces so that each piece is 3 units east and 2 units north in relation to the previous piece. What is the location of the third game piece she places?
Answer:
(7, 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
If Sidney places each piece 3 units east and 2 units north of the last one, we can figure out which coordinate comes first by subtracting the position of the second piece (S) by the position of the first piece (F):
[tex]S - F = (4,6) - (1,4) = (3,2)[/tex]
We can conclude that coordinates are in the (East, North) format.
Therefore, the location of the third piece (T) is:
[tex]T = S(E,N) +(3,2)= (4,6)+(3,2)\\T = (7,8)[/tex]
A prisoner on trial for a felony is presumed innocent until proven guilty. (That is, innocent is the null hypothesis.) Which of the following represents the risk involved in making a Type II error?
a. The prisoner is actually guilty and the jury sends him to jail.
b. The prisoner is actually innocent and the jury sends him to jail.
c. The prisoner is actually innocent and the jury sets him free.
d. The prisoner is actually guilty and the jury sets him free.
e. The prisoner is sent to jail.
Answer:
Option D) The prisoner is actually guilty and the jury sets him free.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Null Hypothesis:
The null hypothesis states that the prisoner is innocent
Alternate Hypothesis:
The alternate hypothesis states that the prisoner is guilty and not innocent.
Type II error:
It is the type error made when we fail to reject the ll hypothesis when it is actually false.
That is we accept a false null hypothesis.
Thus a type II error in the above scenario will be to accept that the prisoner is innocent (accepting the null hypothesis) when actually he is guilty( the alternate hypothesis)
Thus, type II error would be setting free a guilty prisoner.
Option D) The prisoner is actually guilty and the jury sets him free.
"The prisoner is actually guilty and the jury sets him free" represents the risk involved in making a Type II error. The correct option is d) The prisoner is actually guilty and the jury sets him free.
In statistical hypothesis testing, particularly in the context of a trial, we have two competing hypotheses:
Null Hypothesis (H₀): The prisoner is innocent (presumed innocent until proven guilty).
Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): The prisoner is guilty.
A Type II error, in this scenario, occurs when the jury fails to reject the null hypothesis (fails to convict the prisoner) when the alternative hypothesis is true (the prisoner is actually guilty).
Let's analyze the options in the context of Type II error:
(a) The prisoner is actually guilty and the jury sends him to jail. This is not a Type II error. This describes a correct decision where the jury convicts the guilty prisoner.
(b) The prisoner is actually innocent and the jury sends him to jail. This is a Type I error, where the jury convicts an innocent person (rejects the null hypothesis when it is true).
(c) The prisoner is actually innocent and the jury sets him free. This is the correct outcome when the jury correctly fails to reject the null hypothesis (the prisoner is innocent).
(d) The prisoner is actually guilty and the jury sets him free. This is a Type II error. Here, the jury fails to reject the null hypothesis (prisoner is innocent) when it is false (prisoner is guilty).
(e) The prisoner is sent to jail. This could happen in both correct decisions (prisoner is guilty) and Type I errors (prisoner is innocent but convicted).
Therefore, the answer that represents the risk involved in making a Type II error is d. The prisoner is actually guilty and the jury sets him free.
