Ms Davis is doing an activity with her statistic students where she gives them a 20 question multiple top choice test and they know none of the answers. Students need to guess on every question and each question has 5 possible choices, 1 of the which is correct.

What is the mean and standard deviation of the number of questions that each student gets correct?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The mean and standard deviation of the number of questions that each student gets correct are 4 and 1.789 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X be defined as the number of correct answers marked by a student.

It is provided that each question has 5 possible choices, 1 of the which is correct.

Then the probability of marking thee correct option is:

[tex]P(X)=\frac{1}{5}=0.20[/tex]

There are a total of n = 20 questions to be answered.

As the students does not the answer to any question, they would be guessing for each question. This implies that for a random question, all the five options has the equal probability of being correct and each of the five options can be correct independently from the other.

All these information above indicates that the random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 20 and p = 0.20.

The mean and standard deviation of a Binomial distribution are:

[tex]\mu=np\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Compute the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X as follows:

[tex]\mu=np=20\times 0.20=4\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{20\times 0.20\times(1-0.20)}=1.789[/tex]

Thus, the mean and standard deviation of the number of questions that each student gets correct are 4 and 1.789 respectively.

Answer 2
The mean will be "4" and the standard deviation will "1.789".

According to the question,

The probability of making 3 correct options will be:

→ [tex]P(X) = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

            [tex]= 0.20[/tex]

Total number of questions,

n = 20

As we know,

The mean will be:

→ [tex]\mu = np[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

     [tex]= 20\times 0.20[/tex]

     [tex]= 4[/tex]

and,

The standard deviation will be:

→ [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

      [tex]= \sqrt{20\times 0.20\times (1-0.20)}[/tex]

      [tex]= 1.789[/tex]

Thus the responses above are correct.

Answer:

Luke worked 7 hours and Joshua worked 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number of hours that Luke worked l, and the number of hours that Joshua worked j. Since we know that Luke worked for 3 more hours than Joshua, we can express the amount of hours he worked as (j+3). Now, you can set up the following equation:

25j+35(j+3)=345

Expand parentheses:

25j+35j+105=345

Subtract 105 from both sides and combine like terms:

60j=240

j=4

Since Luke worked 3 more hours, he worked 7 hours. Hope this helps!

There were 208 tickets purchased for a major league baseball game. The lower box  tickets cost ​$12.50 and the upper box tickets cost ​$10.00. The total amount of money spent was ​$2187.50. How many of each kind of ticket were​ purchased?

Answers

Answer:

so 189(from 189.66) lower box tickets are sold and 18 upper box tickets are sold

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take "x" as the # of lower box tickets

and "y" as the number of upper box tickets

so in total the number of tickets sold was 208

so  x+y=208

next, we know that each lower box ticket costs 12.50 and each upper box tickets costs 10 and the total amount of money spent was $2187.50 so:

12.5x+10y=2187.50

lets subtract "x" from both sides in first equation to find value of y

y=208-x

now substitute y in equation number 2:

12.5x-10(208-x)=2187.5

12.5x-2080+10x=2187.5

22.5x-2080=2187.5

22.5x=4267.5

x=189.666

so 189 tickets lower box tickets were purchased now, substitute 190 in equation 1 to find value of "y"

y=208-190

y=18

so 189(from 189.66) lower box tickets are sold and 18 upper box tickets are sold

A manufacturer of bolts has a​ quality-control policy that requires it to destroy any bolts that are more than 4 4 standard deviations from the mean. The​ quality-control engineer knows that the bolts coming off the assembly line have mean length of 13 13 cm with a standard deviation of 0.10 0.10 cm. For what lengths will a bolt be​ destroyed?

Answers

Answer:

13.4 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case to calculate the distance we must take into account the data that they give us in the exercise.

The final length would be equal to the initial length added to the product of standard deviations from the mean and standard deviation given by the engineer, like this:

L = 13 + 4 * 0.10

L = 13 + 0.4

L 13.4

That means that lengths will a bolt be destroyed when the value is 13.4 centimeters

Dixon and his little sister Ariadne stand next to each other on the playground on a sunny afternoon. Their mother measures their shadows. Ariadne’s shadow is 15 feet long and Dixon’s shadow is 18 feet long. If Ariadne is 5 feet tall , how tall is Dixon ?

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help you!

To solve this, we can set up a proportion below! I will put the data in table, fraction, and ratio form so you can see different ways to visualize it.

                       HEIGHT         LENGTH OF SHADOW

DIXON               ?                              18

ARIADNE           5                              15

 

                     or

[tex]\frac{height}{length} =\frac{5}{15} =\frac{h}{18}[/tex]

                     or

5:15= h:18

As we can see, we see that Ariadne's length of shadow is three times as large as her height. Therefore, that means that Dixon's height will be 1/3 of the length of his shadow!

18/3= 6

We can also use the cross multiplying method with our proportion and then solve for h!

h=5*18/15

h=90/15

h=6

Therefore, Dixon is six feet tall.

I hope that this helps! Have a great day!

FInd the permiter of a square with an area of 702.25 square yards

Answers

Answer:

The perimeter of the square is 106yd

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we first have to know the formula to calculate the area of ​​a square

a = area = 702.25yd²

s = side

a = s * s

we replace the values

702.25yd² = s * s

702.25yd² = s²

√(702.25yd²) = s

26.5yd = s

The side of the square is 26.5yd

Now we have to use the formula to calculate the perimeter of ​​a square

p = perimeter

s = side = 26.5yd

p = 4 * s

we replace with the known values

p = 4 * 26.5yd

p = 106yd

The perimeter of the square is 106yd

Answer:106 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Length=L

Area=702.5

Area of square=L x L

702.5=L X L

702.5=L^2

L=√(702.5)

L=26.50

perimeter of square=4 x L

Perimeter of square=4 x 26.50

Perimeter of square=106

Perimeter of square=106 yards

Micah is filling up his cone-shaped cup with water. The cup (as shown) has a diameter of 72 millimeters and a slant height of 45

millimeters. How much water can Micah fill in his cup?

Answers

Answer:

  36.644 mL . . . . depending on your value of π (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of Micah's cup is found from the radius and slant height. The radius is half the diameter, so is 36 mm. Then the height h is ...

  45² = 36² +h²

  h = √(45² -36²) = 27 . . . . . mm

The volume is given by the formula ...

  V = (1/3)πr²h

  V = (1/3)π(36 mm)²(27 mm) = 11664π mm³

For π = 3.14

  11664(3.14) mm³ ≈ 36,625 mm³ = 36.625 mL

For π = 3.14159265

  11665π mm³ = 36,644 mm³ = 36.644 mL

Help timed test! At which root does the graph...

Answers

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The way you can tell if the graph is going to cross the x-axis or just touch the x-axis is by looking at the power of the factor.

(x - 5)^3 has a power of 3 which is an ODD number. An ODD power means that the graph will cross through the x-axis.

(x + 2)^2 has a power of 2 which is an EVEN number. An EVEN power means that the graph will touch the x-axis.

To find where it will touch the axis set the factor equal to zero and solve.

(x + 2) = 0

subtract 2 from both sides

x = -2

When you say "triangular prism" it means the base is a triangle and the lateral faces are all rectangles. It doesn't matter which side is lying on the ground.

So, we see this is a triangular prism with a 3-4-5 right triangle as a base, and a "height" of 8 feet.

Its total surface area is the area of the two triangle bases plus the area of the three rectangular faces:

Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed. Step 1 of 3: Find the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Answers

Answer:

The point of estimate for the true difference would be:

[tex] 186-171= 15[/tex]

And the confidence interval is given by:

[tex] (186-171) -1.77 \sqrt{\frac{33^2}{8} +\frac{23^2}{7}}= -10.753[/tex]

[tex] (186-171) +1.77 \sqrt{\frac{33^2}{8} +\frac{23^2}{7}}= 40.753[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

[tex] \bar X_1 = 186[/tex] the sample mean for the first sample

[tex] \bar X_2 = 171[/tex] the sample mean for the second sample

[tex]s_1 =33[/tex] the sample deviation for the first sample

[tex]s_2 =23[/tex] the sample deviation for the second sample

[tex]n_1 = 8[/tex] the sample size for the first group

[tex]n_2 = 7[/tex] the sample size for the second group

The confidence interval for the true difference is given by:

[tex] (\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1} +\frac{s^2_2}{n_2}}[/tex]

We can find the degrees of freedom are given:

[tex] df = n_1 +n_2 -2 =8+7-2= 13[/tex]

The confidence level is given by 90% so then the significance would be [tex]\alpha=1-0.9=0.1[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2=0.05[/tex] we can find the critical value with the degrees of freedom given and we got:

[tex] t_{\alpha/2}= \pm 1.77[/tex]

The point of estimate for the true difference would be:

[tex] 186-171= 15[/tex]

And replacing into the formula for the confidence interval we got:

[tex] (186-171) -1.77 \sqrt{\frac{33^2}{8} +\frac{23^2}{7}}= -10.753[/tex]

[tex] (186-171) +1.77 \sqrt{\frac{33^2}{8} +\frac{23^2}{7}}= 40.753[/tex]
