Answer: 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation: Ratio describes the relative magnitudes between quantities. Their payment is given in the ratio of 1:3:4. Andy = 1, Taylor = 3, and Ben = 4

To figure out the ratio Andy receives, we first add the ratios together to get the sum of ratios.

Therefore, 1 + 3 + 4 = 8

Andy receives 1 out of 8 = ⅛

Representing fractions as percentages, we simply multiply by 100/1.

⅛ x (100/1) = 100/8 = 12.5%

Therefore, Andy receives 12.5% as his share of their team payment.

Andy receives 1 share out of 8 total.

$\frac{1}{8} *100=12.5 \text{ percent}$

Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form x2 + bx = c.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

x=9,-1 and $x^2+(-8)x=9$

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation $x^2-8x-9$

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is $ax^2+bx+c=0$

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant $D=b^{2}-4ac$

$D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100$

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$

Now, substituting the values we will get

$x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1$

And rewritting the given equation by shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

$x^2+bx=c$

g A sailing ship stopped at several islands, releasing one mating pair of goats onto each one. On the large island, the goats' g

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The goat population reaches 1000 in 12.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

After t years, the number of goats is given by

$N = N_0e^{bt}$

where $N_0$ is the initial number of goats and b is the per capita growth rate.

From the question,

$N_0 = 2$
b = 0.5
N = 1000

$1000 = 2e^{0.5t}$

$e^{0.5t} = 500$

$0.5t = \ln 500 = 6.214$

$t = \dfrac{6.2}{0.5} = 12.4$

A sample of 1714 cultures from individuals in Florida diagnosed with a strep infection was tested for resistance to the antibiot

Damm [24]

Answer:

a) $p$ represent the real population proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

b) $\hat p=\frac{973}{1714}=0.568$ represent the estimated proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

c) We are confident (95%) that the true proportion of individuals in Florida diagnosed with a strep infection was tested for resistance to the antibiotic penicillin present partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic is between 54.5% to 59.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Part a

Description in words of the parameter p

$p$ represent the real population proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

$\hat p$ represent the estimated proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

n=1714 is the sample size required

$z_{\alpha/2}$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Part b

Numerical estimate for p

In order to estimate a proportion we use this formula:

$\hat p =\frac{X}{n}$ where X represent the number of people with a characteristic and n the total sample size selected.

$\hat p=\frac{973}{1714}=0.568$ represent the estimated proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

Part c

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.568 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.568(1-0.568)}{1714}}=0.545$

$0.568 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.56(1-0.56)}{1714}}=0.591$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.545;0.591).

We are confident that about 54.5% to 59.1% of individuals in Florida diagnosed with a strep infection was tested for resistance to the antibiotic penicillin present partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

A Type II error is when the null hypothesis is failed to be rejected even when the alternative hypothesis is true.

In this case, it would represent that the new program really increases the pass rate, but the sample taken is not enough statistical evidence to prove it. Then, the null hypothesis is not rejected.

The consequence is that the new method would be discarded (or changed) eventhough it is a real improvement.

Laurissa rolls two number cubes, each with the numbers 1 through 6. Laurissa adds the numbers that appear in the roll. Which two

defon

Answer:

Let's analyze the possible sums of both dices, i will use the notation:

Dice1 + Dice 2 = sum.

also remember that we have 2 dices, with 6 options each.

So the total number of combinations is 6*6 = 36

we have 36 possible outcomes.

I will start at the extremes, the minimum that we can sum is 2, and the maximum is 12, then:

We can have 2 if:

1 + 1 = 2

only one permutation.

and 12 if:

6 + 6 = 12

Again, only one permutation.

so 2 and 12 have the same chance (1 out of 36)

now, to have 3 we can have:

2 + 1 = 3

1 + 2 = 3.

and to have 11

5 + 6 = 11

6 + 5 = 11

Again, 3 and 11 have the same probability (2 out of 36 options)

And now we can see a pattern.

4 and 10 will have the same chance.

5 and 9 will have the same chance

6 and 8 will have the same chance

7 is the only number that has an unique chance (and it has the largest one)
