Answer:


\frac{1}{5}


Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Six out of every 10 tickets are winning tickets.

            Of the winning tickets, 1 out of every three awards is a larger prize.

Solution :

Since 10 tickets are drawn

Out of 10 ,  6 tickets are wining

All six will get awards

Out of three awards 1 is a larger pize and total there are six awards

So, out of six awards there are 2 larger awards

Thus out of 10 tickets there are 2 larger awards


⇒\frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}


Thus,  The probability that a ticket that is randomly chosen will award a larger prize is  


\frac{1}{5}

Lisa says that the indicated angles cannot have the same measure. Marita disagrees and says she can prove that they can have the
AlexFokin [52]
I agree with Marita, that the angles could have the same measure.  This can be proven if you set the two amounts equal and solve for x. 

9x - 25 + x = x + 50 + 2x - 12

To begin, we should combine like terms on both sides of the equation to start simplifying the equation.

10x - 25 = 3x + 38

Next, we should subtract 3x from both sides and add 25 to both sides to get the variable x alone on the left side of the equation.

7x = 63

Finally, we should divide both sides by 7, to get rid of the coefficient of x.

x = 9

If you plug in 9 for x in our first equation, you get that both of the angle measurements equal 65 degrees.  This means that Marita is correct, because if x = 9, then the angles would have the same measure.

If nothing is known about the shape of the distribution of a quantitative variable, what percentage of data fall within 2 standa
Nezavi [6.7K]
<span>At least 75% of the data will fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean. This is tricky problem. Usually when you're dealing with standard deviation, you have a bell curve, or something close to a bell curve and for such a data distribution, there will be approximately 95% of the data within 2 standard deviations of the mean. But if you don't know that you have a bell curve, you have to fall back to Chebyshev’s Theorem, which states that at least 75% of the data points will fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean for any set of numbers.</span>

Statistics can help decide the authorship of literary works. Sonnets by a certain Elizabethan poet are known to contain an avera
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

We conclude that the sonnets were written by by a certain Elizabethan poet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 8.9

Sample mean, \bar{x} =10.2

Sample size, n = 6

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 2.5

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 8.88\\H_A: \mu > 8.88

We use One-tailed z test to perform this hypothesis.

a) Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{10.2 - 8.9}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{6}} } = 1.28

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = 1.64

b) We calculate the p value with the help of z-table.

P-value = 0.1003

The p-value is greater than the significance level which is 0.05

c) Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.

Thus, we conclude that the sonnets were written by by a certain Elizabethan poet.
