Lake Snider High School surveyed its student population about if they prefer pizza or sushi. The students who prefer pizza repre

sent twenty-seven fewer students than five times the number of students who prefer sushi. If 1,528 students prefer pizza, how many students prefer sushi?

Answer:

311 students prefer sushi

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of students who prefer pizza

y -----> the number of students who prefer sushi

we know that

$x=5y-27$ -----> equation A

$x=1,528$ -----> equation B

Substitute the equation B in equation A and solve for y

$1,528=5y-27\\ 5y=1,528+27\\ 5y=1,555\\ y=311\ students$

6. Two observers, 7220 feet apart, observe a balloonist flying overhead between them. Their measures of the

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

h the height of the ballonist above the ground,

a the distance between the two observers,

$a_1$ the horizontal distance between the first observer and the ballonist

$a_2$ the horizontal distance between the second observer and the ballonist

$\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ the angles of elevation meassured by each observer

S the area of the triangle formed with the observers and the ballonist

So, the area of a triangle is the length of its base times its height.

$S=a*h$ (equation 1)

but we can divide the triangle in two right triangles using the height line. So the total area will be equal to the addition of each individual area.

$S=S_1+S_2$ (equation 2)

$S_1=a_1*h$

But we can write $S_1$ in terms of $\alpha _1$ , like this:

$\tan(\alpha _1)=\frac{h}{a_1} \\a_1=\frac{h}{\tan(\alpha _1)} \\S_1=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}$

And for $S_2$ will be the same:

$S_2=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}$

Replacing in the equation 2:

$S=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}\\S=h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})$

And replacing in the equation 1:

$h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})=a*h\\h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}$

So, we can replace all the known data in the last equation:

$h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}\\h=\frac{7220 ft}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(35.6)}+\frac{1}{\tan(58.2)})}\\h=3579,91 ft$

Then, the ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

a. We reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 0.05

b. The p-value is zero for practical applications

c. (-0.0225, -0.0375)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bottles from machine 1 be the first population and the bottles from machine 2 be the second population.

Then we have $n_{1} = 25$ , $\bar{x}_{1} = 2.04$ , $\sigma_{1} = 0.010$ and $n_{2} = 20$ , $\bar{x}_{2} = 2.07$ , $\sigma_{2} = 0.015$ . The pooled estimate is given by

$\sigma_{p}^{2} = \frac{(n_{1}-1)\sigma_{1}^{2}+(n_{2}-1)\sigma_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2} = \frac{(25-1)(0.010)^{2}+(20-1)(0.015)^{2}}{25+20-2} = 0.0001552$

a. We want to test $H_{0}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} = 0$ vs $H_{1}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} \neq 0$ (two-tailed alternative).

The test statistic is $T = \frac{\bar{x}_{1} - \bar{x}_{2}-0}{S_{p}\sqrt{1/n_{1}+1/n_{2}}}$ and the observed value is $t_{0} = \frac{2.04 - 2.07}{(0.01246)(0.3)} = -8.0257$ . T has a Student's t distribution with 20 + 25 - 2 = 43 df.

The rejection region is given by RR = {t | t < -2.0167 or t > 2.0167} where -2.0167 and 2.0167 are the 2.5th and 97.5th quantiles of the Student's t distribution with 43 df respectively. Because the observed value $t_{0}$ falls inside RR, we reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 0.05

b. The p-value for this test is given by $2P(T$ 0 (4.359564e-10) because we have a two-tailed alternative. Here T has a t distribution with 43 df.

c. The 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference is given by (if the samples are independent)

$(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})\pm t_{0.05/2}s_{p}\sqrt{\frac{1}{25}+\frac{1}{20}}$ , i.e.,

$-0.03\pm t_{0.025}0.012459\sqrt{\frac{1}{25}+\frac{1}{20}}$

where $t_{0.025}$ is the 2.5th quantile of the t distribution with (25+20-2) = 43 degrees of freedom. So

$-0.03\pm(2.0167)(0.012459)(0.3)$ , i.e.,

(-0.0225, -0.0375)
