The physician tells a woman who usually drinks 5 cups of coffee daily to cut down on her coffee consumption by 75%. If this woma

n is compliant with the physician's instruction, how many ounces of coffee is she allowed daily?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 cups per day.....1 cup = 8oz.....so 5 cups = (5 * 8) = 40 oz

cut down by 75%....means ur only drinking 25%

25% of 40 oz =

0.25(40) = 10 oz per day <===

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (14444.04;33657.30)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Data: $26,650 $6,060 $52,820 $8,490 $13,660$25,840 $49,840 $23,790 $51,480 $18,960$990 $11,450 $41,810 $21,060 $7,860

We can calculate the mean and the deviation from these data with the following formulas:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

$\bar X=24050.67$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=17386.13 represent the sample standard deviation

n=15 represent the sample size

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=15-1=14$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,14)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.14$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$24050.67-2.14\frac{17386.13}{\sqrt{15}}=14444.04$

$24050.67+2.14\frac{17386.13}{\sqrt{15}}=33657.30$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (14444.04;33657.30)

Answer:

310

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum possible number is obtained when each family owns one appliance only. That total is ...

60 + 85 +70 +95 = 310

The maximum possible number of families is 310.

The following exercise refers to choosing two cards from a thoroughly shuffled deck. Assume that the deck is shuffled after a ca

dem82 [27]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{663}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that from a well shuffled set of playing cards (52 in number) a card is drawn and without replacing it, next card is drawn.

A - the first card is 4

B - second card is ace

We have to find probability for

$A\bigcap B$

P(A) = no of 4s in the deck/total cards = $\frac{4}{52} =\frac{1}{13}$

After this first drawn if 4 is drawn, we have remaining 51 cards with 4 aces in it

P(B) = no of Aces in 51 cards/51 = $\frac{4}{51}$

Hence

$P(A\bigcap B) = \frac{1}{13} *\frac{4}{51} \\=\frac{4}{663}$

(Here we see that A and B are independent once we adjust the number of cards. Also for both we multiply the probabilities)

The table shows y as a function of x. Suppose a point is added to this table. Which choice gives a point that preserves the func

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

<em>A) (-5,7)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Functions and Relations</u>

A set of values A can have a relation with another set B as long as at least one element of A has at least one image in B. Functions are special relations where each element of A (the domain of the function) has one and only one image on B (the range of the function).

By looking at the options, we can see that x=9, x=-8, and x=-1 already have defined values in Y, so if we define another value for any of them the relation will stop being a function. The only possible choice to preserve the function is the option

$\boxed{A)\ (-5,7)}$
