A candy company claims that 20% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects

one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies. If there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct. What is the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim? Use a TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 calculator to find the probability.

Answer:

The probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of green candies.

The probability of green candies is, <em>p</em> = 0.20.

Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies.

So, <em>n</em> = 30 candies are randomly selected.

All the candies are independent of each other.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> = 30 and <em>p</em> = 0.20.

It is provided that if there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct.

Compute the probability of 5, 6 and 7 green candies as follows:

P(X=5)={30\choose 5}(0.20)^{5}(1-0.20)^{30-5}=0.17228\\\\P(X=6)={30\choose 6}(0.20)^{6}(1-0.20)^{30-6}=0.17946\\\\P(X=7)={30\choose 7}(0.20)^{7}(1-0.20)^{30-7}=0.15328

Then the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is:

P (Accepting the claim) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6) + P (X = 7)

                                       = 0.17228 + 0.17946 + 0.15328

                                       = 0.50502

Thus, the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Amanda bought g gallons of paint for $16.55 per gallon and t pints of paint thinner for $5.97 per pint. Write an expression to r
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

total \ cost =16.55(8) +5.97(3)=150.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda bought g gallons of paint for $16.55 per gallon and t pints of paint thinner for $5.97 per pint

Total amount = rate per gallon times gallons + rate per pint times  pints

total amount =16.55 g +5.97 t

amanda bought 8 gallons of paint and 3 pints of paint thinner

g=8 and t=3, substitute the values and find total cost

total \ cost =16.55(8) +5.97(3)=150.31

____ [38]

Answer:

b) 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom=0.5Mike

in 15 minutes, Tom will have done 1/2 of the lawn

in 15 minutes, Mike will have done 1/4 of the lawn

in 15 minutes, they will have done 3/4 of the lawn

15/3=5 minutes for 1/4 of the lawn to be done

5x4=20 minutes for the entire lawn

A random sample of 20 individuals who graduated from college five years ago were asked to report the total amount of debt (in $)
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a. As college debt increases current investment decreases.

b. Y= 68778.2406 - 1.9112X

Every time the college debt increases one dollar, the estimated mean of the current investments decreases 1.9112 dollars.

c. There is a significant linear relationship between college debt and current investment because the P-value is less than 0.1.

d. Y= $59222.2406

e. R²= 0.9818

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the information on a random sample of 20 individuals who graduated from college five years ago. The variables of interest are:

Y: Current investment of an individual that graduated from college 5 years ago.

X: Total debt of an individual when he graduated from college 5 years ago.

a)

To see the relationship between the information about the debt and the investment is it best to make a scatterplot with the sample information.

As you can see in the scatterplot (attachment) there is a negative relationship between the current investment and the debt after college, this means that the greater the debt these individuals had, the less they are currently investing.

The statement that best describes it is: As college debt increases current investment decreases.

b)

The population regression equation is Y= α + βX +Ei

To develope the regression equation you have to estimate alpha and beta:

a= Y[bar] -bX[bar]

a= 44248.55 - (-1.91)*12829.70

a= 68778.2406

b= \frac{sumXY-\frac{(sumX)(sumY)}{n} }{sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} }

b=\frac{9014653088-\frac{(256594)(884971)}{20} }{4515520748-\frac{(256594)^2}{20} }

b= -1.9112

∑X= 256594

∑X²= 4515520748

∑Y= 884971

∑Y²= 43710429303

∑XY= 9014653088

n= 20

Means:

Y[bar]= ∑Y/n= 884971/20= 44248.55

X[bar]= ∑X/n= 256594/20= 12829.70

The estimated regression equation is:

Y= 68778.2406 - 1.9112X

Every time the college debt increases one dollar, the estimated mean of the current investments decreases 1.9112 dollars.

c)

The hypotheses to test if there is a linear regression between the two variables are two tailed:

H₀: β = 0

H₁: β ≠ 0

α: 0.01

To make this test you can use either a Student t or the Snedecor's F (ANOVA)

Using t=<u>  b - β  </u>=<u>  -1.91 - 0  </u>= -31.83

                 Sb         0.06

The critical region and the p-value for this test are two tailed.

The p-value is: 0.0001

The p-value is less than the level of signification, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Using the

F= \frac{MSTr}{MSEr}= \frac{4472537017.96}{4400485.72} =1016.37

The rejection region using the ANOVA is one-tailed to the right, and so is the p-value.

The p-value is: 0.0001

Using this approach, the decision is also to reject the null hypothesis.

The conclusion is that at a 1% significance level, there is a linear regression between the current investment and the college debt.

The correct statement is:

There is a significant linear relationship between college debt and current investment because the P-value is less than 0.1.

d)

To predict what value will take Y to a given value of X you have to replace it in the estimated regression equation.

Y/X=$5000

Y= 68778.2406 - 1.9112*5000

Y= $59222.2406

The current investment of an individual that had a $5000 college debt is $59222.2406.

e)

To estimate the proportion of variation of the dependent variable that is explained/ given by the independent variable you have to calculate the coefficient of determination R².

R^2= \frac{b^2[sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} ]}{sumY^2-\frac{(sumY)^2}{n} }

R^2= \frac{-1.9112^2[4515520748-\frac{(256594)^2}{20} ]}{43710429303-\frac{(884971)^2}{20} }

R²= 0.9818

This means that 98.18% of the variability of the current investments are explained by the college debt at graduation under the estimated regression model: Y= 68778.2406 - 1.9112X

I hope it helps!

Keenan currently does a total of 888 pushups each day. He plans to increase the number of pushups he does each day by 222 pushup
marishachu [46]

Answer:

8 + 2x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial number of push-ups he does in each day = 8,

And, the number of push-ups, he increases per day = 2,

Let x be the number of days after he will reach his target of 30 push-ups,

Since, the number of push-ups she will increase in x days = 2x,

Thus, the number of push-ups she will do after x days = 8 + 2x,

⇒ 8 + 2x = 30, which is the required equation.
