WITCHER [35]
<span>65 = number of different arrangements of 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card slots equals 18. 416,154,290,872,320,000 = number of different ways of arranging 18 cards on the above 65 different arrangements of page sizes. ===== This is a rather badly worded question in that some assumptions aren't mentioned. The assumptions being: 1. The card's are not interchangeable. So number of possible permutations of the 18 cards is 18!. 2. That all of the pages must be filled. Since the least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, that means that 2 pages of 3 cards can only be interchanged with 3 pages of 2 cards. So with that said, we have the following configurations. 6x3 card pages. Only 1 possible configuration. 4x3 cards and 3x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 7!/4!3! = 35 different ways. 2x3 cards and 6x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 8!/2!6! = 28 ways 9x2 card pages. These can only be arranged in 1 way. So the total number of possible pages and the orders in which that they can be arranged is 1+35+28+1 = 65 possible combinations. Now for each of those 65 possible ways of placing 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card spaces is 18 has to be multiplied by the number of possible ways to arrange 18 cards which is 18! = 6402373705728000. So the total amount of arranging those cards is 6402373705728000 * 65 = 416,154,290,872,320,000</span>

A survey conducted five years ago by the health center at a university showed that 18% of the students smoked at the time. This
podryga [215]

Answer:

test statistic (Z) is 2.5767 and p-value of the test is .009975

Step-by-step explanation:

H_{0}: percentage of students who smoke did not change

H_{a}: percentage of students who smoke has changed

z-statistic for the sample proportion can be calculated as follows:

z=\frac{p(s)-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{N} } } where

  • p(s) is the sample proportion of smoking students (\frac{50}{200} =0.25)
  • p is the proportion of smoking students in the survey conducted five years ago (18% or 0.18)
  • N is the sample size (200)

Then, z=\frac{0.25-0.18}{\sqrt{\frac{0.18*0.82}{200} } } ≈ 2.5767

What is being surveyed is if the percentage of students who smoke has changed over the last five years, therefore we need to seek two tailed p-value, which is .009975.

This p value is significant at 99% confidence level. Since .009975 <α/2=0.005, there is significant evidence that the percentage of students who smoke has changed over the last five years

Members of a junior high basketball team want to brag about how tall they are. First, they measured each player’s height in inch
enyata [817]

First to find the median we need to put the numbers in order from least to greatest.

62, 64, 65, 66, 67, 69, 83

Now take a number from each side

64, 65, 66, 67, 69

Once again.

65, 66, 67

On last time

66

So the median is 66.

Now to find the mean we must add all the numbers up

64+67+83+65+66+62+69

which equals 476

Now divide 476 by the total number of heights which is 7

476/7=68

So the mean is 68

Answers: Mean; 68 Median; 66
