An economics instructor would like to test the theory that spraying lavender essential oil in a room while studying will improve test scores. One group of participants studies in a room that releases 2 ounces of lavender every 3 to 4 hours. The second group studies in a room that does not release any essential oils. Both groups study the same amount of time leading up to all course exams. The instructor records the number of points each group gets on a total of 4 exams during a 5 week summer course. What is the dependent variable?
a. Number of ounces of lavender sprayed every 3 to 4 hours.
b. The number of weeks of the course.
c. If students are allowed to use open notes.
d. The average exam scores for each group.
Answer:
d. The average exam scores for each group.
Step-by-step explanation:
The dependent variable, also called the measured or predicted variable is the variable which is being tested or measured in an experiment. It is the variable with which an experiment is being conducted. The outcome of the dependent variable however, relies on another variable called the independent variable.changes in the independent variable affects the outcome of the dependent variable. In the scenario above, the dependent variable is the average exam scores obtained which depends on how the amount of lavender sprayed brings an effect. Ounces of lavender sprayed is the independent variable.

Answer:
a = 4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value
cos60° = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , then
cos60° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{a}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
a = 4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 57 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 5.2 hours of exercise each week. The 70 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 4.5 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.6 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.4 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening.
Step 1 of 2: Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts of time spent exercising each week by people who work out in the morning and those who work out in the afternoon or evening at the three health centers. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts of time spent exercising each week by people who work out in the morning and those who work out in the afternoon or evening at the three health centers is (0.5, 0.9).
Step-by-step explanation:
Before building the confidence intervals, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
In the morning:
Sample of 57, mean of 5.2, standard deviation of 0.6, so:
[tex]\mu_1 = 5.2[/tex]
[tex]s_1 = \frac{0.6}{\sqrt{57}} = 0.0795[/tex]
In the afternoon/evening:
Sample of 70, mean of 4.5, standard deviation of 0.4, so:
[tex]\mu_2 = 4.5[/tex]
[tex]s_2 = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{70}} = 0.0239[/tex]
Distribution of the difference:
[tex]\mu = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 5.2 - 4.5 = 0.7[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.0795^2 + 0.0239^2} = 0.083[/tex]
Confidence interval:
The confidence interval is:
[tex]\mu \pm zs[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
The lower bound of the interval is:
[tex]\mu - zs = 0.7 - 1.96*0.083 = 0.5[/tex]
The upper bound of the interval is:
[tex]\mu + zs = 0.7 + 1.96*0.083 = 0.9[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts of time spent exercising each week by people who work out in the morning and those who work out in the afternoon or evening at the three health centers is (0.5, 0.9).
A bag of M&M's has 6 red, 5 green, 4 blue, and 8 yellow M&M's. What is the probability of randomly picking: (give answer as a reduced fraction) 1) a yellow? w 2) a blue or green? 3) an orange?
Answer:
P( yellow) = 8/23
P( blue or green) = 9/23
P(orange) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
6 red, 5 green, 4 blue, and 8 yellow M&M's = 23 total
P( yellow) = yellow / total = 8/23
P( blue or green) = (blue+green) / total = (5+4)/23 = 9/23
P(orange) = orange/ total = 0/23
Answer:
there are 23 m&m's.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of getting red is 6/23
Probability of getting green is 5/23
Probability of getting blue is 4/23
Probability of getting yellow is 8/23
Orange = red + yellow = 6+8/23
Probability of getting Orange = 14/23

Answer:
[tex]s=6\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In any 30-60-90 triangles, the sides are in ratio [tex]x:x\sqrt{3}:2x[/tex], where [tex]x[/tex] is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle and [tex]2x[/tex] is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
In the given diagram, the hypotenuse is marked as 12 miles. Therefore, the side opposite to the 30 degree angle must be [tex]12 \div 2=6[/tex] miles. The final leg, [tex]s[/tex], must then represent the [tex]x\sqrt{3}[/tex] part of our ratio, hence [tex]\implies \boxed{6\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

A simple random sample of 400 individuals provides 112 Yes responses. (a) What is the point estimate of the proportion of the population that would provide Yes responses
Answer:
The point estimate of the proportion of the population that would provide Yes responses is 0.28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Point estimate of the proportion of the population that would provide Yes
The sample proportion of yes responses.
In the sample:
112 yes responses in the sample of 400, so:
[tex]p = \frac{112}{400} = 0.28[/tex]
The point estimate of the proportion of the population that would provide Yes responses is 0.28.
A boat has a rip-hole in the bottom while 20 miles away from the shore. The water comes in at a rate of 1.5 tons every minute, and the boat would sink after 70 tons of water came in. How fast must the boat go in order to reach the shore before sinking?
Answer:
t = 70 tons/1.5 tons/min = 46.7 min = 2800 sec before boat sinks
S = V * t
V = S / t = 20 mi * 5280 ft/mi / 2800 sec = 37.7 ft/sec
Since 88 ft/sec = 60 mph
the speed is 60 * 37.7 / 88 = 25.7 mph

The pair of figures to the right are similar. The area of one figure is given. Find the area of the other figure to the nearest whole number. Area of larger triangle = 165 ft^2 Thank you!!
9514 1404 393
Answer:
73 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions.
smaller area = larger area × ((10 ft)/(15 ft))² = 165 ft² × (4/9)
smaller area = 73 1/3 ft² ≈ 73 ft²
Answer:
Area of the smaller triangle = 73 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the larger triangle = 165 square feet
Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})=165[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(15)(\text{Height})=165[/tex]
Height = 22 ft
Since, both the triangles are similar.
By the property of similar triangles,
Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.
Let the height of smaller triangle = h ft
Therefore, [tex]\frac{h}{22}=\frac{10}{15}[/tex]
h = [tex]\frac{22\times 10}{15}[/tex]
h = 14.67 ft
Area of the smaller triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(10)(14.67)[/tex]
= 73.33
≈ 73 square feet

Answer:
Hi! I'll provide the answers in the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The table is in the attachment.
b) The percentage is 40%. Looking at the table, we can see that the total of teachers who voted is 30. You'll be able to find the percentage if you divide 30/75, since 75 is the total people who took the survey.
c) The percentage is 40%. For this situation, we have to divide the total of the people who voted for NO by the teachers who voted NO. So it'll be 20/50, which is 0.4. We can simplify that and the solution is 40%.
d) It represents the students who took the survey voted NO for a later start.

Find the local linear approximation L(x) of the function f(x) = 5−x^2 at x = 2.
Use this to estimate f(2.1).
Answer:
L(x)=-4x+9
L(2.1)=0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
It's asking us to find the tangent line to curve f(x) = 5−x^2 at x = 2.
Theb use this to estimate f(2.1).
To find slope of tangent line, we must differentiate and then plug in 2 for x.
f'(x)=0-2x by constant and power rule.
f'(x)=-2x
So the slope of the tangent line is -2(2)=-4.
A point on this tangent line shared by the curve is at x=2. We can find it's corresponding y-value using f(x)=5-x^2.
f(2)=5-(2)^2
f(2)=5-4
f(2)=1
So let's rephrase the question a little.
What's the equation for a line with slope -4 and goes through point (2,1).
Point-slope form y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
Plug in our information: y-1=-4(x-2).
Distribute: y-1=-4x+8
Add 1 on both sides: y=-4x+9
Let's call this equation L(x), an expression to approximate value for f near x=2.
L(x)=-4x+9
Now the appropriation at x=2.1:
L(2.1)=-4(2.1)+9
L(2.1)=-8.4+9
L(2.1)=0.6
If we did plug in 2.1 into given function we get 5-(2.1)^2=0.59 . This is pretty close to our approximation above.

Answer:
2x + 30° = 40°
4x + 30° = 50°
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 30° and 4x + 30° are complementary angles.
Complementary angles sum up to give 90°.
Therefore,
2x + 30° + 4x + 30° = 90°
Add like terms
6x + 60 = 90
6x = 90 - 60
6x = 30
6x/6 = 30/6
x = 5
