A student determines the density of a chunk of metal to be 5.1 g/cm3. She then repeats the measurement four more times on the same chunk of metal and obtains values of 5.0, 4.9, 5.4, and 5.2 g/cm3 for the density. What is the standard deviation of the five measurements?
A. 0.148
B. 0.19
C. 0.037
D. 0.22
E. 0.17

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

E. 0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean:

Sum of all values divided by the number of values, so:

[tex]\overline{x} = \frac{5.1 + 5 + 4.9 + 5.4 + 5.2}{5} = 5.12[/tex]

Standard deviation:

Square root of the sum of the difference squared between each value and the mean, divided by the sample size, so:

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{(5.1-5.12)^2 + (5-5.12)^2 + (4.9-5.12)^2 + (5.4-5.12)^2 + (5.2-5.12)^2}{5}} = 0.172[/tex]

Thus the correct answer is given by option E.

Ryanair provides cheap flights in Europe but prides itself on their on-time record. Ryanair quotes a flight time of 2 hours, 5 minutes. Suppose we believe that actual flight times are uniformly distributed between 2 hours and 2 hours, 20 minutes.

What is the expected flight time in minutes?

Answers

Answer:

The expected flight time is 2 hours 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = 2\ hours[/tex]

[tex]b = 2\ hours\ 20\ mins[/tex]

Required

The expected flight time

To do this, we simply calculate the mean using:

[tex]Mean = \frac{a + b}{2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Mean = \frac{2\ hours + 2\ hours\ 20\ mins}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{4\ hours\ 20\ mins}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 2\ hours\ 10\ mins[/tex]

Determine whether or not the given procedure results in a binomial distribution. If not, identify which condition is not met. Spinning an American roulette wheel 8282 times and recording the number the ball lands on.

Answers

Answer:

No, binomial distribution cannot be applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

We known that a Binomial Distribution depends on provided experiment , a binomial distribution have only 2 outcomes. For example, when we flip a coin in the air, then the possible outcomes are Head and Tail.

But in the context, an American roulette wheel has [tex]37[/tex] outcomes. It means when we spin the American Roulette wheel, ball may lend on any of the numbers between 0 to 36. So there are more than [tex]2[/tex] outcomes.

Therefore, binomial distribution can not be applied here.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of non-cardholder tickets sold. Then total revenue is ...

  2.00n +1.25(578 -n) = 880.00

  0.75n + 722.50 = 880.00

  0.75n = 157.50 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 722.50

  n = 210 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.75. Number of non-cardholder tickets

  578 -n = 368 . . . . . number of cardholder tickets

368 cardholder and 210 non-cardholder tickets were sold.

SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300. An administrator at a college is interested in estimating the average SAT score of first-year students. If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample? Make sure to give a whole number answer.

Answers

Answer:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.88}{2} = 0.06[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a p-value of [tex]1 - 0.06 = 0.94[/tex], so Z = 1.555.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation of 300.

This means that [tex]n = 300[/tex]

If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample?

This is n for which M = 15. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]15 = 1.555\frac{300}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]15\sqrt{n} = 300*1.555[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 15

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 20*1.555[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (20*1.555)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 967.2[/tex]

Rounding up:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

Abdul's gas tank is 1/3 full. After he buys 12 gallons of gas, it is 7/9 full. How many gallons can abdul's tank hold

Answers

Answer:

Abdul's tank can hold 27 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Abdul's gas tank is 1/3 full, and after he buys 12 gallons of gas, it is 7/9 full, to determine how many gallons can Abdul's tank hold the following calculation must be performed:

1/3 = 0.3333

7/9 = 0.7777

0.777 - 0.333 = 0.444

0.444 = 12

1 = X

12 / 0.444 = X

27 = X

Therefore, Abdul's tank can hold 27 gallons of gas.

Joe nas to take two quizzes tomorrow. He nas only enough time to study one of them. • The science quiz has 7 true-or-false questions. • The English quiz has 3 multiple-choice questions. Joe calculates the probability that he will get each question correct by guessing. ?​

Answers

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Science questions are T/F. That's .5 or [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] chance to get it right.

7 questions. Each with a [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

That's [tex](\frac{1}{2})^{7}[/tex]  

[tex](\frac{1}{2})^{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{128}[/tex] = .0078 = .008 rounded

English questions are multiple choice. 4 choices. That's .25 or [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

3 questions. Each [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

That's [tex](\frac{1}{4})^{3}[/tex]

[tex](\frac{1}{4})^{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{64}[/tex] = .0156 = .016 rounded

The probability of getting all questions correct is 0.004 which is lower than for science (0.016).

Science questions are said to have a 6 out of 6 correct answer range and a 0.5 chance of being answered properly.

So, P(6) = 0.5⁶

P(6) = 0.016

We are informed that there are 4 out of 4 correct answers for English, with a 0.25 chance of getting it right.

Thus; P(4) = 0.25⁴ = 0.004

Thus, we conclude that they will have to study English.

The entrance ticket for a carnival costs $89.97, which includes a royal meal
that costs $10.85, 1 play station game, and 3 water rides (Each water ride
costs the same price). The cost of a water ride is twice as that of a play
station game. Find the cost of a water ride. Estimate to the nearest tenths.

Answers

Subtract the meal:

89.97- 10.85 = 79.12

Let the play station game = x

A water ride is twice that so a water ride is 2x

There is 3 water rides : 3 x 2x =6x

The PlayStation game and water rides = 79.12

6x + x = 79.12

Simplify:

7x = 79.12

Divide both sides by 7:

X = 11.30

The PlayStation game is 11.30

The water ride = 2 x 11.30 = 22.60

Answers

Answer:

25 cm.

Step-by-step explaination:

Given,

Two sides of a triangle:

a = 7cm

b = 24 cm

To find,

Third side:

c = ?

By Pythagorean Theorem;

a² + b² = c²

[where c is the longest side,hypotenuse]

Putting the value of a and b;

we get,

7² + 24² = c²

49 + 576 = c²

625 = c²

25² = c² (square root)

25 = c

c = 25

Therefore, the length of the third side will be equal to 25 cm.

Question:-

The lengths of two sides of the right triangle ABC shown in the illustration given

a= 7cm and b= 24cm

Given,

> a= 7cm

> b= 24cm

To find?

Side c (third side)

Solution:-

Using Pythagoras theorem,

▶️ a² + b² = c

▶️ 7cm ² + 24cm² = c²

▶️ 49cm + 576cm = c²

▶️ 625cm = c²

▶️ 25² = c² (25×25 = 625)

▶️ c = 25

The value of c is 25 cm.

Find the square root of (2-36i)/(2+3i)​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]-8-6i[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{2-36i}{2+3i} * \frac{2-3 i}{2-3i}[/tex]

-104-78i /13

-8-6i

The square root of (2-36i)/(2+3i)​ is √(112-66i)/13.

The given expression is [tex]\frac{2-36i}{2+3i}[/tex].

What is the square root?

The square root of a number is the inverse operation of squaring a number. The square of a number is the value that is obtained when we multiply the number by itself, while the square root of a number is obtained by finding a number that when squared gives the original number.

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 2-3i.

Now, [tex]\frac{2-36i}{2+3i}\times\frac{2-3i}{2-3i}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(2-36i)(2-3i)}{(2+3i)(2-3i)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(4-72i+6i-108i^2)}{4-9i^2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(4-66i+108)}{4+9}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(112-66i)}{13}[/tex]

Now square root is √(112-66i)/13

Therefore, the square root of (2-36i)/(2+3i)​ is √(112-66i)/13.
