Sociologists want to test whether the number of homeless people in a particular urban area is increasing. In 2010, the average n

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The test statistic value is 15.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis for this test is:

<em>H</em>₀: The average number of homeless people is not increasing, i.e. <em>μ</em> = 42.3.

<em>H</em>ₐ: The average number of homeless people is increasing, i.e. <em>μ</em> > 42.3.

Given:

$\bar x=45.3\\\sigma=6.2\\n=1000$

As the population standard deviation is provided use a single mean <em>z</em>-test for the hypothesis testing.

The test statistic is:

$z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{45.3-42.3}{6.2/\sqrt{1000}}=15.3$

Thus, the test statistic value is 15.3.

Triangle WXY is an Isosceles right triangle, since WX=XY.

First, we determine the length of WY using Pythagoras Theorem.

$WY=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}\\WY=\sqrt{32}$

Since triangle WXY is Isosceles, $\angle XYW=45^\circ$

$\angle XYZ=\angle XYW+\angle WYZ\\135^\circ=45^\circ+\angle WYZ\\\angle WYZ=135^\circ-45^\circ=90^\circ$

Therefore:

Triangle WYZ is a right triangle with WZ as the hypothenuse.

Applying Pythagoras Theorem

$WZ^2=WY^2+YZ^2\\9^2=(\sqrt{32})^2+a^2\\a^2=81-32\\a^2=49\\a^2=7^2\\$Therefore: a=7$

An article in Fire Technology, 2014 (50.3) studied the effectiveness of sprinklers in fire control by the number of sprinklers t

gregori [183]

Answer:

probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire: 0.0282

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we will use Binomial probability distribution because:

In the question it is given that the sprinklers activate correctly or not independently.
The number of outcomes are two i.e. sprinklers activate correctly or not.

A binomial distribution is a probability of a success or failures outcomes in an repeated multiple or n times.

Number of outcomes of this distributions are two.

The formula is:

b(x; n, P) = $C_{n,x}*p^{x} * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

b = binomial probability also represented as P(X=x)

x =no of successes

P = probability of a success on a single trial

n = no of trials

$C_{n,x}$ is calculated as:

$C_{n,x}$ = n! / x!(n – x)!

= 10! / 10!(10-10)!

= 1

According to given question:

probability of success i.e. p = 0.7 i.e. probability of a sprinkler to activate correctly.

number of trials i.e. n = 10 as number of sprinklers are 10

To find: probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire

X = 10 because we have to find the probability that "all" of the sprinklers will operate correctly and there are 10 sprinklers so all 10 of them

So putting these into the formula:

P(X=x) = $C_{n,x}*p^{x} * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

= C₁₀,₁₀ * 0.7¹⁰ * (1-0.7)¹⁰⁻¹⁰

= 1 * 0.0282 * (0.3) ⁰

= 1 * 0.0282 * 1

P(X=x) = 0.0282

Answer:

Perimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lee measures around the entire outside of the bulletin board and finds the distance is 32 units.

She is measuring the border of her bulletin board.

The sum of outer covering of any object is called its perimeter. Here, 32 unit shows the perimeter of the bulletin board.
