A simple random sample of eight high school students' ACT scores gave the following data: What is a point estimate for μ, the mean test score for the population? a. A point estimate cannot be computed since the data for the whole population are not available. b. 235 c. 29.38 d. 4.84

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: c, is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample mean is the best point estimate for the population mean in a particular study.

Given data of scores: [tex]$\begin{array}{llllllll}27 & 30 & 20 & 29 & 28 & 36 & 34 & 31\end{array}$[/tex]

Sample mean = [tex]\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{27+30+20+29+28+36+34+31}{8}\approx29.38[/tex]

Hence, a point estimate for μ, the mean test score for the population is 29.38

Thus , c. is the correct option.

The cost of a shirt decreases by 18%. After the discount, the shirt costs $61.91. How much did the shirt cost before the
discount?

Answers

Answer:

$75.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the percentage decrease

= 100-18

= 82%

Therefore the original cost of the shirt before the discount can be calculated as follows

= 82/100 × x = 61.91

= 82x/100= 61.91

Cross multiply

82x= 100×61.91

82x= 6191

x = 6191/82

= 75.5

Hencd the original cost of the shirt is $75.5

Answer:

75.50

You wondered if the sugar content in energy dinks is really the same as labeled in the products. The disclosure on Red Bull 12 oz. dink state it contains 34g sugar.

Answers

Answer:

The null hypothesis should be [tex]H_0: \mu = 12[/tex]

The alternate hypothesis should be [tex]H_1: \mu \neq 12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You wondered if the sugar content in energy drinks is really the same as labeled in the products. The disclosure on Red Bull 12 oz.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the sugar content is the same labeled, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 12[/tex]

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if the sugar context is different from the labeled, that is, different of 12.

To estimate the mean length of rattlesnakes, 10 such snakes are randomly selected. Their lengths, in inches, are as follows: 40.2 43.1 45.4 44.5 39.5 40.2 41.0 41.6 43.1 44.9 Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean length of all rattlesnakes.

Answers

Answer:

The confidence interval will be "41.04, 43.81".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Sample size,

n = 10

Sample total,

423.5

Sample mean,

[tex]\bar X =\frac{423.5}{10}[/tex]

   [tex]=42.35[/tex]

Sample variance,

[tex]s = \sqrt{4.5894}[/tex]

  [tex]=2.1423[/tex]

[tex]df=n-1[/tex]

   [tex]=9[/tex]

[tex]t^*=18331[/tex]

Now,

The margin of error will be:

⇒ [tex]E=\frac{s\times t^*}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

       [tex]=\frac{2.1423\times 1.8331}{\sqrt{9} }[/tex]

       [tex]=\frac{3.928}{3 }[/tex]

       [tex]=1.309[/tex]

hence,

The 90% confidence level will be:

= [tex](\bar X-E),(\bar X+E)[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

= [tex](42.35-1.309),(42.35+1.309)[/tex]

= [tex](41.04),(43.81)[/tex]

|x-4| if x>4
can you please help me

Answers

Answer:  x - 4  without the absolute value bars surrounding it

=================================================

Explanation:

If x is larger than 4, then x-4 is positive. For example, if x = 5, then

x-4 = 5-4 = 1

So for cases when x > 4, the |x-4| and x-4 are the same identical expression. Try out more values of x to compare the two outputs. I recommend making a table with 3 columns. You'll have x in column 1, then |x-4| in column 2, and x-4 in column 3. You should find that the outputs for columns 2 and 3 are identical when x is larger than 4.

It's only when x < 4 is when |x-4| and x-4 differ. Instead we would say |x-4| = -(x-4). But we aren't focused on this case.

In short, when x > 4, we simply drop the absolute value bars to get the answer  x - 4

6. a) $4.05, b) $6.75, c) $10.80

7. a) $14.85, b) $24.75, c) $39.60

Explanations:

Whatever we multiply the item by, we multiply the cost by. If we double the number of socks, we double the price. If we triple the number of socks, we triple the price.

1. a) 3 costs $12, and 3 x 2 = 6, so we do the same to the price: $12 x 2 = $24

b) 3 times 3 is 9, so 3 x 12 gives you that cost, $36

c) 3 x 4 = 12, so 12 x 4 = $48

2. a) 3 pairs is $9, and we need 6 pairs. 3 x 2 = 6, so we also multiply the price x 2 = $18

b) 3 x 3 = 9 pairs, multiply the cost times 3 as well. 9 x 3 = $27

c) 3 x 4 = 12, multiply the cost x 4. 9 x 4 = 36

3. 4 apples cost $0.82

a) 4 x 2 = 8 apples, $0.82 x 2 = $1.64

b) 4 x 3 = 12 apples, $0.82 x 3 = $2.46

c) 4 x 4 = 16 apples, $0.82 x 4 = $3.28

The rate at which a chemical decomposes is increasing at a continuous 6.6 % % . What is the actual hourly percent increase

Answers

Answer:

the actual hourly percent increase is 6.823 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that data in the question;

rate chemical decomposes increasing continuously at 6.6 %,

r = 6.6% = 0.066

actual hourly percent increase = ?

Now,

hourly percent increase = ( [tex]e^r[/tex] - 1 ) × 100%

we substitute

hourly percent increase = ( [tex]e^{0.066[/tex] - 1 ) × 100%

hourly percent increase = ( 1.06823 - 1 ) × 100%

hourly percent increase = 0.06823 × 100%

hourly percent increase = 6.823 %

Therefore, the actual hourly percent increase is 6.823 %

Five candy bars and two cupcakes cost $12. Three candy bars and three cupcakes cost $11.25. Find the cost of each item

Answers

Answer:

$23.25

Step-by-step explanation:

12+11.25

Answer:

candy bars = a

cupcakes = b

a=1.5$

b=2.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

candy bars = a

cupcakes = b

1)5a+2b = 12

2)3a + 3b = 11.25

We can understand

3a + 3b = 3(a+b)= 11.25

a+b = 11.25÷3 = 3.75

from No.2 equation.

than we do

(5a+2b) - 2(a+b)

and we got 3a

so

12 - 7.5 = 4.5 = 3a

a=1.5$

b=2.25$

Need Help With My Geometry Work Plz Help

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(number of sides-2)*180 = (6-2)*180 = 720°

a= 720/6= 120°

lines form 180° angles

b= 180-120= 60°

sum of angles in a triangle is 180, and the angles are ≡

c=180/3 = 60°

c and d are supplementary angles (they add to 180)

d= 180-60 = 120°

d ≡ e+e because are vertical angles

e= 120/2 = 60°

sum of angles in a triangle is 180

f= 180 -90-60 = 30°

(number of sides-2)*180 = (5-2)*180 = 540°

g= 540/5= 108°
