Which percentage is the best estimate for the shaded area under this normal curve?
Answers
=========================================================
Explanation:
It appears that -20 is the mean. It's not entirely clear however. If that assumption is correct, then the distance from -30 to -20 is 10 units. So the left endpoint is 1 standard deviation below the mean (because the standard deviation is 10 units).
Recall that through the empirical rule, roughly 68% of the distribution is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. This cuts in half to 34%. So the area from x = -30 to x = -20 is roughly 0.34
We'll use this value later so let A = 0.34
-------------------
The area under the curve from x = -20 to x = -10 is also 0.34
The area under the curve from x = -20 to x = 0 is 0.95/2 = 0.475
For the second part there, I'm using the idea that 95% of the normal distribution (roughly) is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
So the area from x = -20 to x = -5 is somewhere between 0.34 and 0.475
Let B = 0.34 and C = 0.475
-------------------
The full shaded blue area is somewhere between A+B = 0.34+0.34 = 0.68 and A+C = 0.34+0.475 = 0.815
Based on that alone, the answer is between B and C.
-------------------
Unfortunately, we can't nail down an actual value unless we use a Z table or a calculator.
When I use a calculator, I'm getting 0.7745 (approximate) which rounds to 0.775 and converts to 77.5%
As for how to get this without a table or calculator, I'm not entirely sure what your teacher wanted you to do.

Answer as an improper fraction = 16/5
Answer as a mixed number = 3 & 1/5
Answer in decimal form = 3.2
All of those values represent the same thing, but written in a different way.
=============================================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming HM stands for Harmonic Mean in this case.
If so, then we apply the reciprocal operation to each value to get 1/2 and 1/8 (from 2 and 8 respectively).
Add up those fractions:
1/2 + 1/8 = 4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8
Now we'll divide n = 2 over that result. The n = 2 refers to the number of items in the original set.
n divide over (5/8) = 2*(8/5) = 16/5 which is the answer as an improper fraction
-----------
To convert to a mixed number, we can do the following:
16/5 = (15+1)/5
16/5 = 15/5 + 1/5
16/5 = 3 + 1/5
16/5 = 3 & 1/5
Or if you need the answer in decimal form, then using a calculator would get you 16/5 = 3.2
Charlene is a video game designer and wants to make sure that her games can be played on all types of screens. In order for the games to work on both devices with a standard aspect ratio and those with widescreen aspect ratios, the playable area of the games should have an aspect ratio of 3:2. This means that the width is equal to times the height. On one type of tablet, the playable area of the game on the screen is 54 square inches. Write and solve a system of equations to determine the dimensions of the playable area. A. The playable area has a width of 13.5 inches and a height of 9 inches. B. The playable area has a width of 6 inches and a height of 9 inches. C. The playable area has a width of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches. D. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.
Answers
Answer:
The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a number of ways you can get there.
1. Check the answers to see which have the right area and aspect ratio.
A: area = 24 in² — does not match 54 in²
B: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 6:9 = 2:3 — does not match 3:2 aspect ratio
C: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 9:6 = 3:2 — matches problem statement
D: area = 121.5 in² — does not match 54 in²
2. If the screen were 3:2 (inches), its area would be 6 in². The area of 54 in² is 9 times that value, so the actual screen dimensions are √9 = 3 times 3:2. That is, they are width:height = 9:6 inches — matches selection C.
3. You can write equations for width and height and solve.
w/h = 3/2
wh = 54
Substituting w=3/2·h into the second equation gives
... (3/2)h·h = 54
... h² = 36 . . . . . multiply by 2/3
... h = √36 = 6 . . . . square root, result in inches
Answer:
D. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
if the playable area is 54 and that such ratio of dimensions is 3:2
Then we are basically being asked to find the factor of ratios below that also multiply to get 54
54 = 9 x 6 and this is also a ratio of 3:2
As 3(3 + 2) = 54
and as width was asked first when ratio was given 3:2
The width therefore is 9 and the height is 6
So answer is D

Volume Range [tex]\triangle V= 914 cm^3 to 1492cm^3[/tex]
Exact standard deviation [tex]\sigma_E 186.4 cm^3,[/tex]
Generally the equation for range rule of thumb is mathematically given by
Where
[tex]\triangle V=1492cm^3- 914 cm^3[/tex]
[tex]\triangle V=578cm^2[/tex]
Therefore
Estimate Standard deviation
[tex]\sigma_e=\frac{578}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_e=144.5cm^3[/tex]
Since
Exact standard deviation is 186.4 cm^3
Comparing
[tex]X=\sigma_E- \sigma_e[/tex]

Answer:
Cost for 50 songs: $64
Cost for s songs: s + 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is $1 per song, if he downloaded 50 songs, it would be $50 extra dollars.
Add this to the monthly charge of 14:
50 + 14
= 64
So, the cost of 50 songs would be $64.
Now, find the cost for downloading s songs.
Each song is $1, so the cost can be represented by s + 14.
The answer is:
Cost for 50 songs: $64
Cost for s songs: s + 14

Five cards are drawn randomly from a standard deck of 52 cards
Determine the probability that exactly 3 of these cards are Aces. Write your answer in decimal form, rounded to 5 decimal
places
Answer
Answers
Answer:
there are 4 aces in the deck of 52 cards
so the probability to draw one ace is 4/52
if we draw an ace, there are 3 left in 51 cards.
so the next probability will be 3/51
we need to multiply probabilities to know how likely it is that this happens in a row.
for three in a row that's
[tex] \frac{4}{52} \times \frac{3}{51} \times \frac{2}{50} [/tex]
rewritten its:
[tex] \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2}{52 \times 51 \times 50} [/tex]
we'll see soon why this is easier to write.
we also have to account for the two cards that are no aces. it doesn't matter if the first two cards are no aces, the last two, or any rodney. just the ammount of non-aces is important.
there are 48 non-aces in the deck.
so the probability to draw one of them in the first step is 48/52.
wich each draw the number of cards left in the deck decreases by 1. and depending what we draw, that ammount also decreases.
we draw 5 cards, so we know what the denominators will be. the numerator will be the rest-ammounts of each event, like shown in the complicated fraction above.
let's write it most easily as this:
[tex] \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 48 \times 47}{52 \times 51 \times 50 \times 49 \times 48} [/tex]
this scenario looks like it only describes 3 aces, then two non-aces, but the order of multiplication isn't important. you could put the 48 and 47 to the left, same solution. so this expression represents all permutations of "3 aces when drawing 5 cards", including the two cards that are not aces.
that's why writing it as one convoluted fraction is indeed better and simpler than many fraction multiplied in row.
time to grap a calculator.
our probability for the event is
54144 possible valid outcomes out of
311875200 possible combinations.
luckily the calculator can reduce that to a simpler form of
[tex] \frac{47}{270725} [/tex]
(reduced with 2^6*3^, big number, but tried it out by hand stacking up prime factors until hittinga prime in the numerator)
written as a readable kind of number you probably know and like it's
0.0001736079047

A random sample of 50 male employees is taken at the end of a year and the mean
number of hours of absenteeism for the years is found to be 63 hours. A similar sample of
50 female employees has mean of 66 hours. Could these samples be drawn from a
population with the same mean and standard deviation 10 hours?
Answers
Answer:
Yes the samples can be drawn from a population with the same mean and standard deviation 10 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Sample mean for male employees; x1¯ = 63
Sample mean for female employees; x2¯ = 66
Sample size = 50
Standard deviation; σ = 10
First,let's define the hypotheses of the question;
Null hypothesis; H0: μ1 = μ2
Alternative hypothesis; Ha: μ1 ≠ μ2
Now, let's find the test statistic from the formula;
z = (x1¯ - x2¯)/(σ√(2/n))
Thus;
z = (63 - 66)/(10√(2/50))
z = -3/2 = - 1.5
Now, we are not given the significance value but usually when it is not given, we can adopt α = 0.05.
Thus, from online p-value from z-score calculator using; z = -1.5; α = 0.05; two tailed test; we have;
p-value = 0.13364
The p-value is greater than the significance value and thus we will fial to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that these samples can be drawn from a population with the same mean and standard deviation

At midday the temperature in Moscow was 7°C.
At midnight it was -3°C.
By how many degrees did the temperature fall?
Answers
Answer:
10 degrees C
Step-by-step explanation:
the difference between both temperatures is expressed by a subtraction
7 - -3 = 7 + 3 = 10
you could also do the subtraction the other way around :
-3 - 7 = -10
but the negative sign has no meaning for a distance between two points (a distance itself has no direction).
so, we are always using the absolute value of such difference calculations (when it is about lengths, distances, and so on, where the direction had no meaning).
and so, also the -10 is actually simply 10 for our problem here.
the temperature fell by 10 degrees.

C. The p-value is of 0.1636.
D. The critical value is [tex]t_c = 1.711[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Question a:
Customers at Costco spend an average of $130 per trip (The Wall Street Journal, October 6, 2010). One of Costco's rivals would like to determine whether its customers spend more per trip.
At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is the same as Costco's, that is:
[tex]H_0: \mu = 130[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is more than 130, that is:
[tex]H_a: \mu > 130[/tex]
B. Calculate the value of the test statistic.
The test statistic is:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, so the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
130 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 130[/tex]
A survey of the receipts of 25 customers found that the sample mean was $135.25. Assume that the population standard deviation is $10.50 and that spending follows a normal distribution.
This means that [tex]n = 25, X = 135.25, s = 10.50[/tex]
Then
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{135.25 - 130}{\frac{10.50}{\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = 1[/tex]
The value of the test statistic is [tex]t = 1[/tex]
C. Calculate the p-value.
Test if the mean is more than a value, so a right-tailed test.
Sample of 25, so 25 - 1 = 24 degrees of freedom.
Test statistic of t = 1.
Using a t-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.1636.
D. Calculate the critical value
24 df, using the standard 0.05 significance level.
Using a critical value calculator, the critical value is [tex]t_c = 1.711[/tex]

Find angle X in the angle diagram.
Answers
Answer:
80*
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle x + 80* add up to the vertical angle of 160*
So, 160* = x + 80*
80* = x
Answer:
80°
Step-by-step explanation:
160 is vertically opposite the x and 80, which means they have the same value. This makes x+80=160.
This can be solved to x=80.
Write equation for the line with a slope "undefined" and has the same x-intercept as x−y−1=0
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Lines with undefined slopes are perfectly vertical, of the form "x = ". A line with "the same x-intercept" as the given line that has an undefined slope will be the line that we want. I know that sounds confusing; we'll work through it then I'll explain it better. In order to find the x-intercep of the given line, solving it for y will make it a bit easier to "see". Therefore,
-y = -x + 1 and
y = x - 1. The x-intercept exists when y = 0, so setting y equal to 0 and solving for x:
0 = x - 1 and
1 = x. That's the x-intercept. It's also the line that we want that has an undefined slope, because "x = " lines are lines vertical lines and vertical lines have undefined slopes.
x = 1 is the line you want.
