The mean is 36 and the standard deviation is 5.02.

The mean is given by
μ = np = 120*0.3 = 36.

The standard deviation is given by
σ = √(n*p*(1-p)) = √(120*0.3*0.7) = √25.2 = 5.02.

) for a particular diamond mine, 77% of the diamonds fail to qualify as "gemstone grade". a random sample of 112 diamonds is ana
sweet [91]

We use the z statistic:

z = (x – u) / s

 

But first let us calculate the standard deviation s, sample x and mean u.

s = sqrt (n p q)

s = sqrt (112 * 0.77 * (1 – 0.77))

s = 4.45

 

x = 0.81 * 112 = 90.72

 

u = 0.77 * 112 = 86.24

 

So the z score is:

z = (90.72 – 86.24) / 4.45

z = 1.00

 

From the standard tables, the P value at z = 1.00 using right tailed test is:

<span>P = 0.1587 = 15.87%</span>

If you are constructing a 95% confidence interval for a normally distributed population when your sample size is 10, what value
Nuetrik [128]

This is something you'll need a T table for, or a calculator that can compute critical T values. Either way, we have n = 10 as our sample size, so df = n-1 = 10-1 = 9 is the degrees of freedom.

If you use a table, look at the row that starts with df = 9. Then look at the column that is labeled "95% confidence"

I show an example below of what I mean.

In that diagram, the row and column mentioned intersect at 2.262 (which is approximate). This value then rounds to 2.26

<h3>Answer:  2.26</h3>

Two hockey teams, the Winnipeg Jets (yay!) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (boo!), miraculously make it to
monitta

Answer:

There is a 54% chance that the Jets will win the Stanley Cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two hockey teams, the Winnipeg Jets and the Toronto Maple Leafs, miraculously make it to the Stanley Cup finals, where as soon as a team wins 3 games, the championship is over, and the schedule for the playoffs for home games is: Jets - Leafs - Jets - Leafs - Jets; since if the Jets are playing at home, there is a 60% chance they'll win, while if they are playing on the road, there is a 45% chance they'll win, to find the probability that the Jets win the Stanley Cup the following calculation must be performed:

(0.60 + 0.45 + 0.60 + 0.45 + 0.60) / 5 = X

2.70 / 5 = X

0.54 = X

Thus, there is a 54% chance that the Jets will win the Stanley Cup.

The projectile motion of an object can be modeled using s(t) = gt2 + v0t + s0, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is
NeX [460]
S(t) =  -4.9t^2 + 19.6t + 24.5

when it reaches the ground s(t) = 0 


so we have -4.9t^2 + 19.6t + 24.5 = 0

solve this for t:-

-4.9(t^2 - 4t - 5) = 0

(t + 1)(t - 5) = 0

so required time t = 5 seconds  

answer 5 seconds
