Business Week conducted a survey of graduates from 30 top MBA programs. On the basis of the survey, assume that the mean annual salary for male and female graduates 10 years after graduation is $168,000 and $117,000, respectively. Assume the standard deviation for the male graduates is $40,000 and for the female graduates it is $25,000. 1. In which of the preceding two cases, part a or part b, do we have a higher probability of obtaining a smaple estimate within $10,000 of the population mean? why? 2. What is the probability that a simple random sample of 100 male graduates will provide a sample mean more than $4,000 below the population mean?

There is a missing content in the question.

After the statements and before the the options given; there is an omitted content which says:

Referring to Table 16-5, in testing the coefficient of X in the regression equation (0.117) the results were a t-statistic of 9.08 and an associated p-value of 0.0000. Which of the following is the best interpretation of this result?

Answer:

C. The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question:

The resulting regression equation can be represented as:

[tex]\hat Y = 3.37 + 0.117 X - 0.083 Q_1 + 1.28 Q_2 + 0.617Q_3[/tex]

where;

the estimated number of contracts in a quarter X is the coded quarterly value with X = 0

the first quarter of 2010 Q1 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the first quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Q2 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the second quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Q3 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the third quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Our null and alternative hypothesis can be stated as;

Null hypothesis :

[tex]H_0 :[/tex]  The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is not  significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

[tex]H_a:[/tex]  The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

The decision rule is to reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is less than 0.05.

From the missing omitted part we added above; we can see that the   t-statistics value = 9.08 and the p-value = 0.000 .

Conclusion:

Thus; we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. i.e

The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

Answer:

a) Probability the fatality resulted from a fall = 0.1422

b) Probability the fatality resulted from a transportation incident = 0.3958

c(i) The cause of fatality that is least likely to occur is fatality due to fires and explosions with the lowest number of fatalities, 113.

c(ii) Probability that the fatality resulted from fires and explosions = 0.0249

Step-by-step explanation:

Data on U.S, Work-Related fatalities by cause follow (The World Almanac, 2012)

Cause of Fatality | Number of Fatalities Transportation Incidents | 1795

Assaults and violent acts | 837

Contacts with objects and equipment | 741

Falls | 645

Exposure to harmful substances | 404

Fires and explosions | 113

Total number of fatalities = 1795+837+741+645+404+113 = 4,535

Assume that a fatality will be randomly chosen from this population.

a. What is the probability the fatality resulted from a fall?

The probabilty of an event is given mathematically as the number of elements in that event divided by the Total number of elements in the sample space.

P(E) = n(E) ÷ n(S)

Probability the fatality resulted from a fall = (645/4535) = 0.14223 = 0.1422

b. What is the probability the fatality resulted from a transportation incident?

Probability the fatality resulted from a transportation incident = (1795/4535) = 0.39581 = 0.3958

c(i) What cause of fatality is least likely to occur?

The cause of fatality that is least likely to occur is the cause of fatality with the lowest frequency or number of fatalities. And this is fatality due to fires and explosions with the lowest fatalities of 113

c(ii). What is the probability the fatality resulted from this cause?

This is the probability that the fatality resulted from fires and explosions.

Probability that the fatality resulted from fires and explosions = (113/4535) = 0.02492 = 0.0249

I do questions like these everyday so I have too much experience. Let me explain step by step for you.

Brainliest?

First lets set 2 variables x and y

Lets make 2 equations.

x=3+2*y

Thats because it says 'x' is 3 more (+) than 2 times(*) 'y'

Now lets set second, we know both of them add up to 27.

x+y = 27

Since we know what x is equal to (look above equation)

We can replace it.

x is replaced with 3+2*y

3+2y+y = 27

3+4y = 27

Simplify 27-3 = 24

24/4 = 6

Now lets plug in for x

3+2*6 = 15

15 - x

6 - y

Answer:

a) 38

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal distribution can be applied if:

[tex]np \geq 5[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 5[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]p = 0.27[/tex]

Then

a) 38

n = 38.

Then

38*0.27 = 10.26

38*0.73 = 27.74

Satisfies. But is this the smallest sample of the options which satisfies.

b) 14

n = 14

Then

14*0.23 = 3.22

14*0.77 = 10.78

Does not satisfy

c) 10

Smaller than 14, which also does not satisfy, so 10 does not satisfy.

d) 48

Greater than 38, which already satisfies. So the answer is a)

Answer:

79.91% of loaves are between 26.94 and 32.18 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 30, \sigma = 2[/tex]

What percentage of loaves are between 26.94 and 32.18 centimeters

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 32.18 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 26.94.

X = 32.18:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{32.18 - 30}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.09[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.09[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8621

X = 26.94:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{26.94 - 30}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.53[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.53[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0630

0.8621 - 0.0630 = 0.7991

79.91% of loaves are between 26.94 and 32.18 centimeters

Answer:

63.45

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it should be noted that the question is incorrect because 64 can't be divided by 11 but assuming that the question is correct, the solution is as follows

Given

LCM = 368

HCF = 11

One number = 64

Required

The other number

Let both numbers be represented by m and n, such that

[tex]m = 64[/tex]

From laws of HCF and LCM

The product of both numbers = Product of HCF and LCM

i.e.

[tex]m * n = HCF * LCM[/tex]

By substituting 68 for m; 368 for LCM and 11 for HCF

[tex]m * n = HCF * LCM[/tex] becomes

[tex]64 * n = 368 * 11[/tex]

[tex]64n = 4048[/tex]

Divide both sides by 64

[tex]\frac{64n}{64} = \frac{4048}{64}[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{4048}{64}[/tex]

[tex]n = 63.25[/tex]

Answer:

The answer is "[tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex] is not a perfect square".

Step-by-step explanation:

12 is not a perfect square because it is the natural number, and no other natural number would square the number 12, that's why it is not a perfect square.

If we calculate the square root of [tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex]. so, it is will give [tex]2\sqrt{3}[/tex] that is not a perfect square root which can be described as follows:

[tex]\Rightarrow \sqrt{12}= \sqrt{2\times 2\times 3}[/tex]

            [tex]= \sqrt{2^2\times 3}\\\\= 2\sqrt{3}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\bold{\sqrt{12}}[/tex] is not a perfect square root.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can infer than angles 1, 4, 5, 8 are all equal and angles 2, 3, 6, 7 are also equal to eachother. These two sets of angles are supplementary(you’d get 180 by adding them)

So 3x+10=4x-15

if you rearrange you'll get

angle 1 and 7 are supplementary

thus angle 7 equals

c) P(X > 35) = 0.1190

d) P(X > 31) = 0.8810

e) At least 35.7965 mpg

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 33, \sigma = 1.7[/tex]

a. P(X<30)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 30. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{30 - 33}{1.7}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.76[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.76[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0392.

Then

P(X < 30) = 0.0392.

b) P(28 < X < 32)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 32 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 28. So

X = 32

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{32 - 33}{1.7}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.59[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.59[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.2776.

X = 28

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{28 - 33}{1.7}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.94[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.94[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0016.

0.2776 - 0.0016 = 0.2760.

So

P(28 < X < 32) = 0.2760

c) P(X>35)

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 35. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{35 - 33}{1.7}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.18[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.18[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8810.

1 - 0.8810 = 0.1190

So

P(X > 35) = 0.1190

d. P(X>31)

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 31. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{31 - 33}{1.7}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.18[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.18[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1190.

1 - 0.1190 = 0.8810

So

P(X > 31) = 0.8810

e. the mileage rating that the upper 5% of cars achieve.

At least the 95th percentile.

The 95th percentile is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So it is X when Z = 1.645. Then

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 33}{1.7}[/tex]

[tex]X - 33 = 1.645*1.7[/tex]

[tex]X = 35.7965[/tex]

At least 35.7965 mpg

The upper 5% of cars have a mileage rating of 35.805 mpg

Z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

z = (raw score - mean) / standard deviation

Given;  mean of 33 mpg and a standard deviation of 1.7

a) For < 30:

z = (30 - 33)/1.7 = -1.76

P(x < 30) = P(z < -1.76) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.0392

b) For < 28:

z = (28 - 33)/1.7 = -2.94

P(x < 28) = P(z < -2.94) = 0.0016

c) For > 35:

z = (35 - 33)/1.7 = 1.18

P(x > 35) = P(z > 1.18) = 1 - P(z < 1.18) = 1 - 0.8810 = 0.119

d) For > 31:

z = (31 - 33)/1.7 = -1.18

P(x > 31) = P(z > -1.18) = 1 - P(z < -1.18) = 0.8810

e) The  upper 5% of cars achieve have a z score of 1.65, hence:

1.65 = (x - 33)/1.7

x = 35.805 mpg

The upper 5% of cars have a mileage rating of 35.805 mpg

Question:

A sports physician conducts an observational study to learn the average amount of time that 3,000 swimmers in the town can hold their breath underwater. He uses 150 sampling of 60 people. The average of the means of all the samplings is 72.7, and the standard deviation is 0.92. This is a histogram of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. Based on this data, with a 95% confidence interval the researchers can determine that the actual average amount of time the entire population can hold their breath under water is?

Given Information:

sample mean time = 72.7

sample standard deviation = 0.92

Sampling size = n = 150

Confidence level = 95%

Required Information:

95% confidence interval = ?  

Answer:

[tex]\text {confidence interval} = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\\text {confidence interval} = 72.7 \pm 0.14836\\\\\text {confidence interval} = 72.7 - 0.14836, \: 72.7 + 0.14836\\\\\text {confidence interval} = (72.552, \: 72.848)\\\\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval is given by

[tex]\text {confidence interval} = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\[/tex]

Where [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] is the sample mean time and Margin of error is given by

[tex]$ MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) $ \\\\[/tex]

Where n is the sampling size, s is the sample standard deviation, and [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] is the t-score corresponding to 95% confidence level.

The t-score corresponding to 95% confidence level is

Significance level = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 150 - 1 = 149

From the t-table at α = 0.025 and DoF = 149

t-score = 1.975

[tex]MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\\\MoE = 1.975\cdot \frac{0.92}{\sqrt{150} } \\\\MoE = 1.96\cdot 0.07512\\\\MoE = 0.14836\\\\[/tex]

So the required 95% confidence interval is

[tex]\text {confidence interval} = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\\text {confidence interval} = 72.7 \pm 0.14836\\\\\text {confidence interval} = 72.7 - 0.14836, \: 72.7 + 0.14836\\\\\text {confidence interval} = (72.552, \: 72.848)\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, we are 95% confident that actual average amount of time the entire population can hold their breath under water is within the range of (72.552, 72.848)

The total number of cats were 12.

Based on the ratio of dogs to cats in the shelter, we know that out of 27 animals, there are 12 cats.

The ratio of cats to dogs is 4:5 which means that there are 5 dogs for every 4 cats.

This means that out of 9 animals, 4 would be cats and 5 would be dogs. If there was 27 animals therefore:

= 4 / 9 x 27

= 108 / 9

= 12 cats

Whereby the picture is 12 inches above the wall trim and the Sun is casting a shadow on the wall, therefore, the edges of the shadow of a straight edged object is straight

If the picture is level, the shadow cast by the sun is transversal to the wall trim and the line formed by extending the bottom or top of the picture in the direction of the shadow. That is, if the picture is parallel, the shadow cast by the Sun on the wall is transversal to the picture and the wall trim if or when the shadow eventually crosses the picture

With the protractor, the angle between the shadow and the wall trim and the shadow and the top or bottom is measured

The angles measured should be the same if the picture is level.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

) Do you expect the distribution of number of friends made online to be symmetric, skewed to the right, or skewed to the left?

Skewed to the left.

Symmetric

Skewed to the right.

(b) Two measures of center for this distribution are 1 friend and 5.3 friends. Which is most likely to be the mean and which is most likely to be the median?

Mean=

Median=

a)

as proportion of people with 0 friends is 43% whcih is on left side and maximum ; and % decrease with increasing number of friends

skewed to the right

b)

as it is skewed to the right ; therefore mean is greater than median

mean=5.3

median=1

[since for skwewed to the right distribution :mean is always greater than median, therefore higher value should be mean which is 5.3 and lower value is median which is 1]

Part(a): Skewed to the right

Part(b) The required values are,

mean=5.3

median=1

a)

As a proportion of people with 0 friends are 43% which is on the left side and maximum; and % decrease with an increasing number of friends

skewed to the right

b)

As it is skewed to the right; therefore mean is greater than the median

mean=5.3

median=1

Answer:

Are there any choices?..

The correct statement the describes the equation is The lines intersect at (1, 0) and the lines are parallel.

x - y = 1.............equation 1

y - x = 1.............equation 2

Add equations (1) and (2):

(x - y) + (y - x) = 1 + 1

Simplifying

0 = 2

Since 0 = 2, the system is inconsistent, meaning there is no solution. The lines represented by the equations are parallel and will never intersect.

The system of equations has no solution, as the lines represented by the equations are parallel and will never intersect.

Answer:

20.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Force A = 16 pounds

direction = N75E = 75° in the first quadrant

Force B = 20 pounds

direction = S20E = 180° - 20° = 160° in the fourth quadrants

we resolve the forces into their x and y resultant forces.

For the y axis forces,

-(16 x sin 75°) + (20 x sin 160°) = Fy

-15.45 + 6.84 = Fy

Fy = -8.61 N

For the x axis forces'

(16 x cos 75°) + (20 x cos 160°) = Fx

-4.14 - 18.79 = Fx

Fx = -22.93 N

Resultant force = [tex]\sqrt{(Fx)^{2} + (Fy)^{2} }[/tex] =  [tex]\sqrt{(-8.61)^{2} + (-22.93)^{2} }[/tex]

Resultant force = 24.49 N

angle made by the resultant force is,

∅ = [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex] [tex]\frac{Fy}{Fx}}[/tex]

∅  =  [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex] [tex]\frac{-8.61}{-22.93}}[/tex]

∅ =  [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex] 0.3755

∅ = 20.58
