Answers

Answer 1

Finding the values of d and the value of m with the algebraic working will give us the the value of d to be 7 and the value of m to be 3.

How do we calculate the values using the algebraic expression?

Finding the value of d, we know that the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is given by:

S = n/2 * (2a + (n-1)d)

Since the sum of the first n terms is S and the sum of the first 2m terms is S2m, we can set up the following equation:

S = m/2 * (2a + (m-1)d)

S2m = 2m/2 * (2a + (2m-1)d)

Substituting the given values for S and S2m into these equations, we get:

39 = m/2 * (2a + (m-1)d)

320 = 2m/2 * (2a + (2m-1)d)

Solving for d in each equation, we find that d = -7 in the first equation and d = 7 in the second equation. Since d must be a prime number, the only possible value for d is 7.

Now that we know the value of d, we can solve for m. Substituting the value of d back into one of the equations and solving for m, we get:

39 = m/2 * (2a + (m-1)7)

78 = m * (2a + (m-1)7)

78 = m * 2a + 7m^2 - 7m

7m^2 - m - 78 = 0

We can solve for m using the quadratic formula:

m = (-1 +/- sqrt(1^2 - 4*7*(-78)))/(2*7)

= (-1 +/- sqrt(2521))/14

= (-1 + 49)/14 = 3

= (-1 - 49)/14 = -7

Since m must be a positive integer, the only possible value for m is 3.

Therefore, the value of d is 7 and the value of m is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student researcher compares the ages of cars owned by students and cars owned by faculty at a local state college. A sample of 138 cars owned by students had an average age of 5.13 years. A sample of 111 cars owned by faculty had an average age of 7.75 years. Assume that the population standard deviation for cars owned by students is 3.45 years, while the population standard deviation for cars owned by faculty is 2.08 years. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the true mean ages for cars owned by students and faculty. Step 1 of 3: Find the point estimate for the true difference between the population means.

Answers

Answer:

The point estimate for the true difference between the population means is of -2.62 years.

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the true mean ages for cars owned by students and faculty is between -3.4 years and -1.84 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem, and subtraction between normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction of normal variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the mean, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of variances.

A sample of 138 cars owned by students had an average age of 5.13 years. The population standard deviation for cars owned by students is 3.45 years.

This means that:

[tex]\mu_{s} = 5.13, \sigma_{s} = 3.45, n = 138, s_s = \frac{3.45}{\sqrt{138}} = 0.2937[/tex]

A sample of 111 cars owned by faculty had an average age of 7.75 years.  The population standard deviation for cars owned by faculty is 2.08 years.

This means that [tex]\mu_{f} = 7.75, \sigma_{f} = 2.08, n = 111, s_f = \frac{2.08}{\sqrt{111}} = 0.2658[/tex]

Difference between the true mean ages for cars owned by students and faculty.

s - f

Mean:

[tex]\mu = \mu_s - \mu_f = 5.13 - 7.75 = -2.62[/tex]

This is the point estimate for the true difference between the population means.

Standard deviation:

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_s^2+s_f^2} = \sqrt{0.2937^2+0.2658^2} = 0.3961[/tex]

Confidence interval:

We have that 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 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = zs = 1.96*0.3961 = 0.78[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is -2.62 - 0.78 = -3.4

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is -2.62 + 0.78 = -1.84

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the true mean ages for cars owned by students and faculty is between -3.4 years and -1.84 years.

A sequence of Bernoulli trials consists of choosing components at random from a batch of components. A selected component is either classified as defective or nondefective. If the probability that a selected component is non-defective is 0.8, find the following probabilities: a) Three non-defective components in a batch of seven components. b) 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0287 = 2.87% probability that three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

b) 0.0336 = 3.36% probability that 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of Bernoulli trials composes the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that a selected component is non-defective is 0.8

This means that [tex]p = 0.8[/tex]

a) Three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.8)^{3}.(0.2)^{4} = 0.0287[/tex]

0.0287 = 2.87% probability that three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

b) 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Now the order is important, so the we just multiply the probabilities.

8 non-defective, each with probability 0.8, and then a defective, with probability 0.2. So

[tex]p = (0.8)^8*0.2 = 0.0336[/tex]

0.0336 = 3.36% probability that 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

The length of rectangular garden is 3 feet longer than the width. If the area of the garden is 40 square feet, find the length and width of the garden.

The length is _____________ ft

The width is ______________ ft

Answers

Answer:

length = 8 ft

width = 5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

width = w

length = w + 3

Area of rectangular garden = 40 square feet

length  *width = 40

(w + 3) *w = 40

w*w + 3*w = 40

w² + 3w = 40

w² + 3w - 40 = 0

w² + 8w - 5w - 8*5 = 0

w(w + 8) - 5 (w +8) =0

(w + 8) (w - 5) = 0

w - 5 = 0       {Ignore w + 8 =0, as measurement will not be in -ve}

w = 5 ft

l = 5 + 3

l = 8 ft

What is the value? 3/4 + 7/12 - (-4)

Answers

Answer: 3/4 + 7/12 - (-4) = 3/4 + 7/12 + 4 (two minuses make a plus)

3/4 + 7/12 + 4/1 = 9/12 + 7/12 + 48/12           (4 = 4/1 or 4 divided by 1)  

(to add the fractions the denominators need to be the same. Multiply both the denominator and numerator by the same number)

(9+7+48)/12 = 64/12 = 5 and 1/3 or 16/3

We can also get this answer by leaving the 4 as a whole number:

9/12 + 7/12 +4 = 16/12 + 4 = 1 and 1/3 + 4 = 5 and 1/3

If you put the sum in a calclator you also get 5 and 1/3.
