Winnie measured the length of her father's ranch four times and got four different distances. her measurements are shown in the

table.
A. To estimate the actual length, winnie first approximated each distance to the nearest hundredth.Then she averaged the four numbers.
Using a calculator, find winnie's estimate.
.
Distance across father's ranch (km)
Square root of 60, 58/8, 7.3, 7 3/5
.
B. Winnie's father estimated the distance across his ranch to be the square root of 56 km. How does this distance compare to Winnie's estimate?

(a) winnie first approximated each distance to the nearest hundredth.

$\sqrt{60} =7.75$

$\frac{58}{8} = 7.25$

7.3 = 7.33

$7\frac{3}{5} = 7.60$

Now we find the average of 4 numbers

$\frac{7.75+7.25+7.33+7.60}{4}$ = $\frac{29.93}{4} = 7.4825$

Winnie's estimate = 7.4825

B) Winnie's father estimated the distance across his ranch to be the square root of 56 km

$\sqrt{56} = 7.48331$

Winne's father estimate - Winne's estimate = 7.48331 - 7.48225= 0.00106

Winne's father estimate is 0.00106 more than winne's estimate

ryzh [129]

The choir members need $1500, but they have $600. Therefore, they need $1500-$600=$900 more.

Call a the average amount raised by a member. We see that 30a >= $900. Dividing by 30, we find that a >= $30, so the average member must raise at least $30.

The manager of an industrial plant is planning to buy a new machine. For each day’s operation, the number of repairs X, that the

horsena [70]

Answer: Expected value of the daily cost of operating the machine is 235.264.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

E[x]= 0.96 repairs per day

And Var[x] = 0.96 repairs per day.

$C=160+40x^2$

$E[c]=160+40E[x^2]\\\\E[c]=160+40(Var[x]+(E[x])^2)\\\\E[c]=160+40(0.96+0.96^2)\\\\E[c]=235.264$

Hence, Expected value of the daily cost of operating the machine is 235.264.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the table in the attached file.

mean and standard deviation difference: $\bar{d}=\frac{\Sigma d}{n} =\frac{-4-6-.......-4-4}{8}=-4.125 \\\\S_d=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma (d-\bar{d})^2 }{n-1}}=\sqrt{\frac{(-4 + 4.125)^2 +.......+(-4 +4.125)^2 }{8-1}}= 1.246$

For point a:

hypotheses are:

$H_0 : \mu_d \geq -3\\\\H_a : \mu_d < -3\\\\$

degree of freedom:

$df=n-1=8-1=7$

From t table, at $\alpha = 0.05$ , reject null hypothesis if $t$ .

test statistic:

$t=\frac{\bar{d}-\mu_d }{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{d}}}=\frac{ -4.125- (-3)}{\frac{1.246}{ \sqrt{8}}} =-2.55$

because the $t=-2.553$ , removing the null assumption. Data promotes a food product manufacturer's assertion with a likelihood of Type 1 error of 0.05.

For point b:

From t table, at $\alpha =0.01$ , removing the null hypothesis if $t$ .

because $t=-2.553 >-2.908$ , fail to removing the null hypothesis.

The data do not help the foodstuff producer's point with the likelihood of a .01-type mistake.

For point c:

Hypotheses are:

$H_0: \mu_d \geq -5\\\\H_a: \mu_d < -5$

Degree of freedom:

$df=n-1=8-1=7$

From t table, at $\alpha =0.05$ , removing the null hypothesis if $t$ .

test statistic: $t=\frac{\bar{d}-\mu_d}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}} =\frac{-4.125-(-5)}{\frac{1.246}{\sqrt{8}}}=1.986$

Since $t-1.986 >-1.895$ , The null hypothesis fails to reject. The results do not support the packaged food producer's claim with a Type 1 error probability of 0,05.

From t table, at $\alpha= 0.01$ , reject null hypothesis if $t$ .

Since $t=1.986>-2.998$ , fail to reject null hypothesis.

Data do not support the claim of the producer of the dietary product with the probability of Type 1 error of .01.

A. The average yearly salary of a lawyer is $24 thousand less than twice that of an architect.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The average yearly salary of the architect is <u>$62,000</u> and the lawyer is <u>$100,000</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The average yearly salary of a lawyer is $24 thousand less than twice that of an architect.

Combined, an architect and a lawyer earn $ 210 thousand.

Now, to find the average yearly salary of an architect and a lawyer.

Let the average yearly salary of an architect be $x.$

So, the average yearly salary of the lawyer = $2x-24,000.$

Combined, architect and lawyer earn = $\$210,000.$

Now, to get the average salary of the architect and lawyer:

$x+(2x-24000)=210000$

$x+2x-24000=210000\\\\3x-24000=210000$

<em>Adding both sides 24000 we get:</em>

$3x=186,000\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\ we\ get:\\\\x=62000.$

<u>The average salary of architect = $62,000.</u>

Now, to get the average salary of lawyer by substituting the value of $x$ :

$2x-24000\\\\=2(62000)-24000\\\\=124000-24000\\\\=\$100,000.$

<u>The average salary of lawyer = $100,000.</u>

Therefore, the average yearly salary of the architect is $62,000 and the lawyer is $100,000.
