The data set below is a random sample of the heights (in meters) of women belonging to a certain ethnic subgroup. Assume the population is normally distributed 1.63 1.62 1.61 162 1.39 1.55 a) Find the mean and standard deviation of the data.

Answers

Answer 1

The mean of the data set is approximately 1.57 meters. The standard deviation of the data set is approximately 0.0968 meters, indicating the average deviation of data points from the mean.

To compute the mean and standard deviation of the data set, we'll use the following formulas:

Mean (μ) = (sum of all data values) / (total number of data values)

Standard Deviation (σ) = sqrt((sum of squared differences from the mean) / (total number of data values))

Let's calculate the mean and standard deviation for the given data set:

Data set: 1.63, 1.62, 1.61, 1.62, 1.39, 1.55

Mean (μ) = (1.63 + 1.62 + 1.61 + 1.62 + 1.39 + 1.55) / 6 = 9.42 / 6 ≈ 1.57

Next, we calculate the sum of squared differences from the mean:

(1.63 - 1.57)^2 + (1.62 - 1.57)^2 + (1.61 - 1.57)^2 + (1.62 - 1.57)^2 + (1.39 - 1.57)^2 + (1.55 - 1.57)^2 ≈ 0.0666

Finally, we calculate the standard deviation:

Standard Deviation (σ) = sqrt(0.0666 / 6) ≈ 0.0968

Therefore, the mean of the data set is approximately 1.57 meters and the standard deviation is approximately 0.0968 meters.

A "pay-what-you-pull" raffle is an alternative to a standard raffle where a person blindly draws a raffle ticket, say out of bag, and agrees to pay the amount written on the raffle ticket (as opposed to having one fixed price for each raffle ticket). The raffle ticket is then entered into a draw for a prize. Suppose you draw 2 raffle tickets without replacement from a bag with 4 tickets which have prices $1, $2, $3 and $4. How much can you expected to pay for your 2 raffle tickets?

Answers

To find the expected amount you would pay for your two raffle tickets, we need to calculate the expected value of the sum of the prices on the tickets.

Let's denote the prices on the tickets as follows:

Ticket 1: $1

Ticket 2: $2

Ticket 3: $3

Ticket 4: $4

Since you are drawing two tickets without replacement, there are a total of 4C2 = 6 possible combinations of two tickets.

The expected value (E) can be calculated by summing up the products of each combination and its corresponding probability. The probability of each combination is 1/6 since all combinations are equally likely.

The expected amount you would pay for your two raffle tickets is given by:

[tex]\[E = \frac{1}{6}(\$1 + \$2) + \frac{1}{6}(\$1 + \$3) + \frac{1}{6}(\$1 + \$4) + \frac{1}{6}(\$2 + \$3) + \frac{1}{6}(\$2 + \$4) + \frac{1}{6}(\$3 + \$4)\][/tex]

Simplifying the expression, we find:

[tex]\[E = \frac{\$3 + \$4 + \$5 + \$5 + \$6 + \$7}{6} = \$5\][/tex]

To estimate the average service time at a hamburger fast-food restaurant, a management

consultant noted the times that it took for 35 counter persons, a random sample, to complete a

standard order. It took, on average, 72.2 seconds with a standard deviation of 12.8 seconds to

complete the orders.

a)

What can the consultant assert with 95% confidence about the maximum error, if he uses

X bar = 72.2 seconds as an estimate of the true average time to complete a standard order?

b)

Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the true average time that it takes a counter

person to complete the standard order/

Answers

The consultant can assert with 95% confidence that the true average time to complete a standard order is within 4.23 seconds of the sample average time of 72.2 seconds.

With 95% confidence, the true average time it takes for a counter person to complete the standard order is between 68.0 and 76.4 seconds.

How to solve the problems

The standard error of the mean is given by the formula:

SE = s / sqrt(n)

where s is the sample standard deviation and n is the sample size.

In this case, the standard error is:

SE = 12.8 / sqrt(35) = 2.16 seconds (approximately)

The Z-value that corresponds to a 95% confidence level is approximately 1.96 (this value can be looked up in a standard Z-table).

Therefore, the maximum error E can be calculated as:

E = Z * SE = 1.96 * 2.16 = 4.23 seconds (approximately)

This means that the consultant can assert with 95% confidence that the true average time to complete a standard order is within 4.23 seconds of the sample average time of 72.2 seconds.

b) To construct a 95% confidence interval for the true average time, the consultant can use the formula:

CI = x ± E

where x is the sample mean and E is the maximum error.

Substituting the given values:

CI = 72.2 ± 4.23 = (68.0, 76.4)

So, with 95% confidence, the true average time it takes for a counter person to complete the standard order is between 68.0 and 76.4 seconds.

Let V be the set of all ordered triples of real numbers with addition and scalar multiplication defined as follows: (x, y, z) + (x'. y' z') = (x + x'.0,2 + z!) and k(x,y,z) (kx,ky, kz) for all real numbers k. Prove that V is not a vector space.

Answers

The set V, defined as the set of all ordered triples of real numbers with the given addition and scalar multiplication operations, is not a vector space. Therefore, we can conclude that V is not a vector space, as it does not fulfill the required vector space axioms.

To prove that V is not a vector space, we need to demonstrate that it fails to satisfy at least one of the vector space axioms.

Let's consider the closure under scalar multiplication axiom. According to the given scalar multiplication operation, k(x, y, z) = (kx, ky, kz) for all real numbers k. However, in a vector space, scalar multiplication should be distributive over both addition of vectors and scalar addition.

Let's choose a specific example to illustrate the issue. Consider the vector (x, y, z) = (1, 1, 1) in V and the scalar k = 2. According to the defined scalar multiplication operation, 2(x, y, z) = 2(1, 1, 1) = (2, 2, 2).

Now, let's compute (1 + 1)(x, y, z) = 2(x, y, z) = 2(1, 1, 1) = (2, 2, 2).

However, in a vector space, the distributive property should hold, meaning that (1 + 1)(x, y, z) should equal (1, 1, 1) + (1, 1, 1) = (2, 2, 2).

Since (1 + 1)(x, y, z) ≠ (1, 1, 1) + (1, 1, 1), V fails to satisfy the closure under scalar multiplication axiom.

Therefore, we can conclude that V is not a vector space, as it does not fulfill the required vector space axioms.

Answers

(a) f(36) is equal to 6.

(b) (g+f)(4) = g(4) + f(4) = 9/4

(c) we cannot compute (f · g)(0).

(a) To find f(36), we substitute x = 36 into the function f(x) = √x:

f(36) = √36 = 6

Therefore, f(36) is equal to 6.

(b) To find (g+f)(4), we need to evaluate g(4) and f(4), and then add the results:

g(4) = 1/4

f(4) = √4 = 2

(g+f)(4) = g(4) + f(4) = 1/4 + 2 = 1/4 + 8/4 = 9/4

Therefore, (g+f)(4) is equal to 9/4 or 2.25.

(c) To find (f · g)(0), we need to evaluate f(0) and g(0), and then multiply the results:

f(0) = √0 = 0

g(0) = 1/0

However, g(0) is undefined because division by zero is not defined in mathematics.

Therefore, we cannot compute (f · g)(0) in this case.

Answers

Answer:

13 km

Step-by-step explanation:

By Triangle Inequality Theorem: The sum of two smallest sides is greater than the third side.

Small Values of X:

X + 26 > 38

X > 38 - 26

X > 12

If we know that 38 km is the longest side, then the sum of other two sides must be greater than 38 km. Therefore the minimum value of X is 13 km.

Answers

The percentage of tires will have a life of 34,000 to 46,000 miles is the correct answer is d. None of the alternative answers is correct.

The provided percentages do not offer a precise estimate of the proportion of tires with a life of 34,000 to 46,000 miles.

Determining the percentage of tires falling within a specific mileage range requires access to accurate statistical data from tire manufacturers or comprehensive studies. Several factors affect tire lifespan, such as driving habits, road conditions, maintenance, and the type of tire itself.

These variables make it difficult to provide an exact percentage without specific information about the tire population in question. To obtain a more accurate estimate, it would be necessary to analyze relevant data, such as tire industry reports or studies on tire longevity.

Tire manufacturers often provide estimated mileage ratings for their products, but these figures are averages and can vary depending on the factors mentioned above.

Test whether there is a difference in the pattern of freshman class ranks (an ordinal scale variable) of the newly-inducted sophomore members across five sororities at Mega University.

Answers

The required answer is by conducting the Kruskal-Wallis test, we can determine if there are statistically significant differences in the pattern of freshman class ranks among the sophomore members across the five sororities at Mega University.

To test whether there is a difference in the pattern of freshman class ranks among the sophomore members across five sororities at Mega University, we can use a statistical test called the Kruskal-Wallis test. The Kruskal-Wallis test is a non-parametric test used to compare the distributions of three or more independent groups.

In this case, the five sororities represent the independent groups, and the freshman class ranks of the sophomore members within each sorority are the ordinal scale variable of interest. The Kruskal-Wallis test will assess whether there are statistically significant differences in the distribution of freshman class ranks across the five sororities.

Here is a step-by-step explanation of how to conduct the Kruskal-Wallis test:

Step 1: Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses.

Null hypothesis (H₀): There is no difference in the pattern of freshman class ranks across the five sororities.

Alternative hypothesis (H₁): There is a difference in the pattern of freshman class ranks across the five sororities.

Step 2: Collect the data.

Gather the freshman class ranks of the sophomore members for each sorority. Ensure that the data is properly coded and organized.

Step 3: Perform the Kruskal-Wallis test.

Apply the Kruskal-Wallis test to the data. The test will compare the distributions of the ordinal data across the five sororities and determine if there are significant differences.

Step 4: Interpret the results.

Analyze the output of the Kruskal-Wallis test, which typically provides a test statistic and a p-value. If the p-value is below a predetermined significance level (e.g., 0.05), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is evidence of a difference in the pattern of freshman class ranks across the five sororities.

Step 5: Post-hoc analysis (if necessary).

If the Kruskal-Wallis test indicates significant differences, further analyses, such as pairwise comparisons or Dunn's test, can be conducted to identify which specific sororities differ from each other.

By conducting the Kruskal-Wallis test, we can determine if there are statistically significant differences in the pattern of freshman class ranks among the sophomore members across the five sororities at Mega University.

Cody did not understand the concepts of the “special cases” when factoring. Explain the concept of the perfect square binomial. Use an example to help explain to her how it is a special case and how to factor it using the special case rules.

Answers

A binomial expression of the form (a + b)² or (a - b)² is called a perfect square binomial.

This expression can be factored using the special case rules by rewriting it in the form

(a + b)(a + b) or (a - b)(a - b), respectively.

A perfect square binomial is a quadratic trinomial in which the first term is a perfect square and the second term is twice the product of the square root of the first term and the square root of the last term.

In the context of special cases, the perfect square binomial is a binomial that is formed by squaring a binomial.

This is a special case because it has a unique factorization, as we will see later.

An example of a perfect square binomial is (x + 4)².

This is because the first term, x², is a perfect square, and the second term, 8x, is twice the product of the square root of x² and the square root of 4, which is 2.

Hence, (x + 4)² can be factored using the special case rules as:

(x + 4)(x + 4),

which simplifies to

(x + 4)².

A perfect square binomial is a quadratic trinomial in which the first term is a perfect square and the second term is twice the product of the square root of the first term and the square root of the last term.

It is a special case because it has a unique factorization, which is given by the formula:

(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

           or

(a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b².
