A website randomly creates an initial password for people when they first sign up for an account. The password consists of five

letters, and cannot include numbers or special characters. The letters of the password cannot repeat. What is the approximate probability that a password will have no vowels? What is the approximate probability that the first letter of the password will be m?

This is a non replacement question, so each letter decreases by 1.

No vowels
The question actually starts right here. The preamble tells us that we can only use letters, no numbers, and no symbols. We are not asked to do anything. The first question makes no mention of there being anything special about m. It can be there or it most likely is not. This part of the problem is the first part.

First Part
I'm not going to deal with y. I will declare it to be a consonant.
There are 5 vowels. None of them can be chosen.
21 letters remain (including the m since it has not been limited in any way yet).

21 * 20 * 19 * 18 * 17
================
26 * 25 * 24 * 23 * 22

2441880 / 7893600
0.30934
Note: If your calculator has nPr on it, you can enter 21 nPr 5 to eliminate all the typing.

Second Part
No vowels and the first letter MUST be m
1 * 20 * 19 * 18 * 17/( 26 * 25 * 24 * 23 * 22)
116200/7893600 = 0.01473

Vowels and the first letter m.
1 * 25 * 24 * 23 * 22/ 7893600 = 0.03846

A rectangular prism is 3 units high, 2 units wide, and 5 units long. What is its surface area
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

62 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2 ( wl + hl + hw)

Where,

w = width = 2 units

h = height = 3 units

l = length = 5 units

Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2 ( wl + hl + hw)

= 2 (2*5 + 3*5 + 3*2)

= 2 (10 + 15 + 6)

= 2 (31)

= 62 square units

Surface area of the rectangular prism = 62 square units

Isaac is purchasing two pairs of shoes—one pair for $37.00 and the second pair for $42.00. The state sales tax applied to Isaac’
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Isaac's total bill is $84.53

Step-by-step explanation:

$37.00 + $42.00 = $79.00 < <em>b</em> (bill)

<em>b</em> + <em>t</em> (sales tax) = <em>c</em> (total cost)

(7%/100 = 0.07)

(0.07 * 79 = 5.53)

(<em>t</em> = $5.53)

$79.00 + $5.53 = $84.53

Good luck!!

The heights of 1000 students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of
yuradex [85]
A. The mean and standard deviation.

The mean of a sampling distribution is approximately equal to the mean of the population. Given that the mean of the population is equal to 174.5, the mean of the sampling distribution is also this value.

The standard deviation of a sample distribution is equal to,

                u(m) = u/sqrt n

Substituting the known values,

               u(m) = 6.9 / sqrt 25 = 1.38

b. Get the z-score of both items,
         
      z-score = (data point - mean) / standard deviation

 z-score of 172.5
     z-score = (172.5 - 174.5) / 1.38 = -1.49
This translates to 0.068.

z-score of 175.8
   z-score = (175.8 - 174.5) / 1.38 = 0.94
This translates to 0.83. 

The difference between the two z-scores is 0.762. 

 The number of samples with this height is 0.762(200) which is equal to approximately 152.

c. z-score of 172 centimeters
   
    z-score = (172 - 174.5) / 1.38
  
    z-score = -1.81
This translates to 0.03.

The number of people with this height from the sample is (0.03)(200) = 6

The diagram shows a scale drawing of a playground. In the scale drawing the playground has a length of 16 cm and a width of 8 cm
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

3 m : 4 cm, 3 m/4 cm, 3 m to 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual playground will have an area of 72 m², and have one side be double the other, because the scale drawing does so too.

We can make a system of equations: l * w = 72, l = 2w

Substitute: 2w * w = 72

Simplify: 2 * w² = 72

Divide: w² = 36

Square root: <em>w = 6 m</em> (no negatives due to distances always > 0)

Substitute: l = 2 * 6 m

Simplify: <em>l = 12 m</em>

This means that the relations of one side is <em>6 m : 8 cm</em>. That can be simplified to 3 m : 4 cm.

In the book Essentials of Marketing Research, William R. Dillon, Thomas J. Madden, and Neil H. Firtle discuss a research proposa
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500  

p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617  

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

X_{1}=25 represent the number of homeowners who would buy the security system

X_{2}=9 represent the number of renters who would buy the security system

n_{1}=140 sample 1

n_{2}=60 sample 2

p_{1}=\frac{25}{140}=0.179 represent the proportion of homeowners who would buy the security system

p_{2}=\frac{9}{60}= 0.15 represent the proportion of renters who would buy the security system

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the two proportions differs , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{25+9}{140+60}=0.17  

Calculate the statistic  

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:  

z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500  

Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided \alpha, but we can calculate the p value for this test.    

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617  

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.
