The school librarian recorded the types of books students checked out on a typical day. Suppose there are 605 students enrolled

at the school. Predict the number that perfered humor books. Compare this to the number of students at the school who perfer nonfiction.
Graph shows:
humor- 13 out of 25
nonfiction- 8 out of 25
mystery- 15 out of 25
romance- 6 out of 25
adventure- 13 out of 25

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The entry in the graph are :

humor- 13 out of 25

nonfiction- 8 out of 25

mystery- 15 out of 25

romance- 6 out of 25

adventure- 13 out of 25

i.e. the probability of choosing humor books= 13/25

and the probability of choosing non-fiction= 8/25

Now there are a total of 605 students enrolled at the school.

Hence, the number of students preferring <u>humor books </u>is:

$\dfrac{13}{25}\times 605\\\\=314.6$

<em>which is approximately equal to 315 students</em>

and the number of students preferring <u>non-fiction</u> is:

$\dfrac{8}{25}\times 605\\\\=193.6$

<em>which is approximately equal to 194 students</em>

Students who party before an exam are twice as likely to fail as those who don't party (and presumably study). If 20% of the stu

True [87]

Answer:

The fraction of the students who failed to went partying = $\frac{1}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of students = 100

No. of students partied are twice the no. of students who not partied.

⇒ No. of students partied = 2 × the no. of students who are not partied

No. of students partied before the exam = 20 % of total students

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam = $\frac{20}{100}$ × 100

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam = 20

No. of students who not partied before the exam = $\frac{20}{2} = 10$

Thus the fraction of the students who failed to went partying = $\frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}$

A doctor is measuring the average height of male students at a large college. The doctor measures the heights, in inches, of a s

denpristay [2]

Answer:

For this case the 95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:

b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=40-1=39$

For this case the 95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:

b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.

It takes 8 minutes for Byron to fill the kiddie pool in the backyard using only a handheld hose. When his younger sister is impa

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Let us say that the procedure of completely filling up the pool with water is called “1 job”. Therefore the rates of the equipment in doing the job would be:

<span>Rate of handheld hose = 1 job / 8 minutes ---> 1</span>

<span>Rate of lawn sprinkler = r ---> 2</span>

<span>Rate of the two combines = 1 job/ 5 minutes ---> 3</span>

So we are to find the equation to use, in this case, we simply have to add equations 1 and 2 to get 3:

1 / 8 + r = 1 / 5

Multiplying both sides by 5:

<span>(5 / 8) + 5 r = 1 ---> ANSWER</span>
