Answer:

0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

These events are not mutually exclusive; this means they can happen at the same time.

For two events A and B that are not mutually exclusive,

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A)

Let A be the event "over 21 years old" and B be the event "drinks alcohol".  

The probability that a student is over 21 years old is 0.3; this is because 30% of the students are over 21 years old.

The probability that a student drinks alcohol given they are over 21 is 0.8.

This gives us

P(A and B) = 0.3(0.8) = 0.24

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years old is \boxed{0.24{\text{ or 24\% }}}. Option (c) is correct.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The probability of a college student drinking alcohol is 0.6.

The probability of drinking alcohol is 0.8.

30\% of the college students are over 21 years old.

Explanation:

Consider X be the event that a student is over 21 years old.

Consider Y be the event that a student drinks alcohol.

The probability of event X can be expressed as follows,

P\left( X \right) = 0.3

The probability of drinking alcohol is 0.8.

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years can be obtained  as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Probability}}&= P\left( X \right) \times P\left( {Y/X} \right)\\&= 0.3 \times 0.8\\&= 0.24\\\end{aligned}

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years old is \boxed{0.24{\text{ or 24\% }}}. Option (c) is correct.

The measure of an angle is 62.9 What is the measure of a complementary angle?
Llana [10]
By definition, complementary angles are "two angles whose sum is equal to 90 degrees." This can be expressed using the following formula:

(Angle 1) + (Angle 2) = 90

Substitute any known values into the equation:

62.9 + (A2) = 90

Subtract 62.9 from both sides if the equation:

A2 = 27.1

The measure of the complementary angle (A2) is 27.1 degrees.

Which graph represents the function f(x)=x4+4x3−12x2−32x+64?
sp2606 [1]

f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64

The degree of f(x) is 4. Also the leading coefficient is 1 and it is positive

So  as x approaches infinity then y approaches infinity

as x approaches -infinity then y approaches infinity

The first and fourth graph goes up and it satisfies the above . so we ignore the second and third graph.

Now we check the x intercepts of the first  graph

x intercepts of first graph is -4  and 2

Plug in -4 for x in f(x) and check whether we get 0

f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64

f(x)=(-4)^4+4(-4)^3-12(-4)^2-32(-4)+64=0

Now plug in 2 for x and check

f(x)=(2)^4+4(2)^3-12(2)^2-32(2)+64=0

So -4  and 2  are the x intercepts that satisfies f(x)

Hence first option is the graph of f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64

The College Board SAT college entrance exam consists of three parts: math, writing and critical reading (The World Almanac 2012)
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the math and writing SAT scores of twelve students.

There are two variables of interest X₁: Math SAT score of a student. and X₂: Writing the SAT score of a student.

These two variables aren't independent since both of them represent data corresponding to the same student, meaning, that the math and writing scores belong to the same students and not to two separate groups of students.

This is an example of paired samples, to make the statistical test you have to establish a third variable, this variable will be the difference between the other two:

Xd= X₁-X₂

Xd: "Difference between the Math and Writing SAT scores of a student.

This variable has a normal distribution Xd~N(μd;σd²)

a. Using a .05 level of significance and test for a difference between the population mean for the math scores and the population mean for the writing scores? Enter negative values as negative numbers. Round your answer to two decimal places.

The parameter of interest is μd is the population mean of the difference between the math and writing SAT scores of the students.

The hypotheses are:

H₀: μd=0

H₁: μd≠0

α: 0.05

The test statistic is a t-student for dependent samples and it's rejection region is two-tailed.

t= \frac{Xd[bar]-Mud}{Sd/\sqrt{n} } = \frac{25-0}{37.05/\sqrt{12} } = 2.33

What is the p-value? Round your answer to four decimal places.

The p-value for this test is: 0.0394

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

b. What is the point estimate of the difference between the mean scores for the two tests?

The sample mean for the variable "difference" is X[bar]d

You can calculate the point estimate of the sample mean of the variable Xd using two ways.

1) You calculate all the differences between the pairs of scores, add them and divide them by the sample size

X[bar]d= ∑di/n

∑di= 300

n=12

X[bar]d= 300/12= 25

2) You can calculate the sample mean for each variable and then calculate the difference between the two sample means

X[bar]₁= ∑X₁/n

∑X₁= 6168

X[bar]₁= 6168/12= 514

X[bar]₂= ∑X₂/n

∑X₂= 5868

X[bar]₂= 5868/12= 489

X[bar]d= X[bar]₁-X[bar]₂ = 514 - 489= 25

What are the estimates of the population mean scores for the two tests?

Math test X[bar]₁= 514

Writing test X[bar]₂= 489

Which test reports the higher mean score?

The Math test reports a higher mean score.

I hope it helps!
