My four-year-old son loves playing out in the garden. His favourite activity is digging up and inspecting creepy crawlies, especially snails. If he is patient enough, after the initial shock of being uprooted, they will emerge cautiously from the safety of their shells and start to glide over his little hands leaving viscid trails of mucus. Eventually, when he tires of them, he will discard them, somewhat callously, in the compost heap or on the woodpile behind the shed. Late last September, after a particularly busy session in which he had unearthed and disposed of five or six large specimens, he came to me as I was sawing up wood for the fire and asked ‘Daddy, how many snails is [sic] there in the garden?’ A deceptively simple question for which I had no good answer. It could have been 100 or it could have been 1000. To be quite honest, he would not have comprehended the difference. Nevertheless, his question piqued an interest in me. How could we figure this out together? We decided to conduct an experiment. The next weekend, on Saturday morning, we went out to collect snails. After ten minutes, we had a total of 23 of the gastropods. I took a sharpie from my back pocket and proceeded to place a subtle cross on the back of each one. Once they were all marked up, we tipped up the bucket and released the snails back into the garden. A week later we went back out for another round. This time, our ten-minute scavenge brought us just 18 snails. When we inspected them closely we found that three of them had the cross on their shells, while the other 15 were unblemished. This was all the information we needed to make the calculation. What is the total amount of snails

The mean output of a certain type of amplifier is 466 watts with a standard deviation of 10 watts. If 32 amplifiers are sampled, what is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.6 watts? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

0.8186

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to use to solve this question is given as:

z = (x-μ)/σ/√n, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

n is the random number of samples

P(z < (x-μ)/σ/√n)

(x-μ) = 1.6 watts

σ = 10 watts

n = 32 amplifiers

Hence,

P(z < 1.6/10/√32)

P(z < 1.6/1.767766953)

P(z < 0.9050966799)

Approximately to 2 decimal places)

P(z < 0.91)

= 0.81859

Rounded to four decimal places, the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.6 watts is 0.8186.

A directed segment ST¯¯¯¯¯ is partitioned from S (−5,0) to T in a 32 ratio at point M (10, 15). What are the coordinates of point T? (20, 25) (15, 20) (7, 3) (5, 15

Answers

Answer:

[tex]T = (20,25)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]S = (-5,0)[/tex]

[tex]M = (10,15)[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 3:2[/tex]

Required

Determine the coordinate of T

Line division by ratio is calculated using:

[tex]M(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n})[/tex]

Where:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-5,0)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (10,15)[/tex]

[tex]m:n = 3:2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](10,15) = (\frac{3 * x_2 + 2 * -5}{3+2},\frac{3 * y_2 + 2 * 0}{3+2})[/tex]

[tex](10,15) = (\frac{3x_2 -10}{5},\frac{3y_2}{5})[/tex]

Multiply through by 5

[tex]5 * (10,15) = (\frac{3x_2 -10}{5},\frac{3y_2}{5}) * 5[/tex]

[tex](50,75) = (3x_2 -10,3y_2)[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]3x_2 - 10 = 50[/tex]

[tex]3y_2 = 75[/tex]

[tex]3x_2 - 10 = 50[/tex]

[tex]3x_2 = 50 + 10[/tex]

[tex]3x_2 = 60[/tex]  --- Divide through by 3

[tex]x_2 = 20[/tex]

[tex]3y_2 = 75[/tex]

[tex]y_2 =75/3[/tex] --- Divide through by 3

[tex]y_2 =25[/tex]

Hence:

The coordinates of T is

[tex]T = (20,25)[/tex]

The term confidence interval and confidence level are not the same but they are related. Confidence interval refers to a range of values that makes up part of the statistic's mean data which contains an unknown population parameter.

However, the Confidence level is the level of certainty that the confidence interval would contain the true population parameter if a random sample is drawn.

Factor each of the following quadratic expression.
1. x² + x
2. 5x2 - 25x
3. x2 - 16
4. x² + 4x + 4
5. x2 - 5x + 6

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expressions:

1. x² + x

2. 5x² - 25x

3. x² - 16

4. x² + 4x + 4

5. x² - 5x + 6

   Problem: Factor each of the quadratic expression

Solution:

A quadratic expression is an expression whose highest power is two.

1. x² + x

     For this expression:

       x² + x

    Factorizing x since  it is a common term;

       x(x + 1)          

   

2. 5x² - 25x

    For this expression;

   Factorize 5x since it common to both of them;

      5x(x - 5)

3. x² - 16

    For this expression;

  Apply the differences of two squares;

     x² - 16

     x² - 4²;

    Note;  x² - y²  = (x-y)(x+y)

So, x² - 4² = (x-4)(x + 4)

4. x² + 4x + 4

   To solve this,

     Find two numbers whose product will be 4 and sum also 4;

  x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 2x + 2x + 4

                    = x(x + 2) + 2(x + 2)

                     = (x + 2)(x + 2)

5. x² - 5x + 6

    To factorize this expression, simply find two numbers whose sum is -5 and product is 6;

            x² - 5x + 6 = x² - 3x - 2x + 6

                              = x (x - 3) -2(x - 3)  

                              = (x -2)(x-3)

The variables x and y are related proportionally. When x = 8, y = 20. Find y when x = 80.

Answers

Answer:

y = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation y = kx, where k is a constant.

Plug in the given x and y values, then solve for k:

y = kx

20 = k(8)

2.5 = k

Then, plug in k and the given x value, and find y:

y = 2.5x

y = 2.5(80)

y = 200

So, y = 200 when x = 80

Find the area of the shaded region. The graph to the right depicts IQ scores of adults, and those scores are normally distributed with a
mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
106 124
The area of the shaded region is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Answers

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is 0.2898.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the IQ scores of adults.

It is provided that [tex]X\sim N(100,15^{2})[/tex].

Compute the probability of an adult having an IQ between 106 and 124 as follows:

[tex]P(106<X<124)=P(\frac{106-100}{15}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{124-100}{15})[/tex]

                             [tex]=P(0.40<Z<1.60)\\=P(Z<1.60)-P(Z<0.40)\\=0.94520-0.65542\\=0.28978\\\approx 0.2898[/tex]

*Use a z-table.

Thus, the area of the shaded region is 0.2898.

I would say the answer is C. a strong negative correlation.

Firstly, the graph is 'going downwards', meaning that the relationship is negative. This is because one variable decreases when the other is increased. I think it is a strong relationship because the trend is quite clear through the points and the slope is moderately steep.

5) The price of a gallon of gas was $4.00. The price went up by 10% and then went down by 10%.

Explain why Antonio's reasoning is incorrect. (1 point) Determine the price of a gallon of gas after the 10% rise and 10% fall. (1 point) Total of 2 points. *

Answers

Answer:

Antonio is wrong because 10% of 4.00 is .40 and if the price goes up then the price is $4.40 and since the price is going down by ten percent, ten percent if $4.40 is .44 and therefore the price is $3.96.
