Read the below scenario and then answer the questions that follow. The Ancestry Society of North Carolina is compiling records so they can learn about the history of African Americans in North Carolina from 1820 to 1980. They have complied records of all 15,125 gravestones in cemeteries across all 15 counties. They want to choose a sample of 600 records to check their accuracy by visiting the actual gravestones.
a) Using the hat method explain how they could gather a simple random sample of 600 gravestones to visit.
b) Explain why it would be better to take a sample 40 gravestones from all 15 counties.
c) For what population could they make inference about after gathering and examining the sample?

Answers

Answer 1

Using the hat method they can randomly choose the tombstones they are going to visit in each county, the best option is to visit 40 tombstones in each county so that it is the same number of tombstones analyzed in each county. This study will benefit the residents of these counties because the information is specific to them.

When conducting research, it is sometimes necessary to take samples to analyze and study and obtain a result. In the situation presented there are a large number of tombstones to study, however it is difficult for researchers to visit each of the tombstones.

Therefore, the best option is to take a sample, that is, to study a small proportional part of the tombstones to obtain an estimated result of the study. The best way to do this is by taking the same number of samples in each county.

Additionally, the information resulting from this study will directly impact the residents of these counties because they are issues related to their past and their evolution through the years, especially the African American population.

A race director is preparing for an upcoming marathon and estimates that the mean time to
finish is 310 minutes. Assume
that the times are normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 50 minutes.
Use a standard normal table or a calculator to find the percentage of times that are longer than 236 minutes. For your
intermediate computations, use four or more decimal places. Give your final answer to two decimal places (for example
98.23%).

Answers

93.06% of the race is longer than 236 minutes.

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

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score,\mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation[/tex]

Given that μ = 310, σ = 50

For x > 236:

[tex]z=\frac{236-310}{50}=-1.48[/tex]

From the normal distribution table:

P(x > 236) = P(z > -1.48) = 1 - P(z < -1.48) = 1 - 0.0694 = 0.9306 =  93.06%

93.06% of the race is longer than 236 minutes.

im giving my friends 9 cupcakes thats 60 percent of my order how many more cupcakes do i need to get my order to 100 percent

Answers

Answer:

6 more cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of 15 is 9, so 15-9 is 6.

The number of cupcakes needed to get the order to 100% is 6 cupcakes.

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

We have,

60% = 9 cupcakes

Multiply 100/60 on both sides.

100/60 x 60% = 100/60 x 9 cupcakes.

100% = 5 x 3 cupcakes

100% = 15 cupcakes

Thus,

6 more cupcakes are needed.

A professional guitarist charges a flat amount for performances at restaurants and events. He played 6 performances over 2 weeks and made a total of $420. Write an equation and solve for the amount he makes for each performance.

Answers

Answer:

The guitarist makes 70$ a performance

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much he makes per performance we need to make an equation where how much he makes per performance is x

The equation would be:

x=420

Then we would divide both sides by 6

6÷6×x=420÷6

which would make the equation

x=70

meaning that the guitarist makes 70$ per performance

Let performances be x

[tex]\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow 6x(2)=420[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow 12x=420[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow x=420/12[/tex]

y=x^2 translate 4 units down and 3 units left

Answers

Answer: Hello! When a graph is translated 4 units down you are moving all of the y values. This makes it the easiest translation that we do, other than no translation! All you have to do is subtract 4. Your equation is y=x2 - 4. If you wanted to move the graph up it is addition and if you want to move it down it is subtraction. When you translate right to left it is more complicated! Hope this helps.  :))

Answer:

y=1, x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x-5=0 is given already, give the x a value and switch the 5 to the other side x-5=0 ----> x=5

Now we have a value for x, so plug x into the original equation,

4(5)+3y=23,

20+3y=23

Subtract both sides by 20

20-20+3y=23-20

3y=3

dvide both sides by 3

y=1
