An engineering school reports that 53% of its students were male (M), 35% of its students were between the ages of 18 and 20 (A)

, and that 21% were both male and between the ages of 18 and 20. What is the probability of choosing a random student who is a female or between the ages of 18 and 20? Assume P(F) = P(not M). Your answer should be given to two decimal places.

Answer: Our required probability is 0.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

                      18-20                  Not 18-20           Total

Male                0.23                    0.35                 0.58

Female            0.16                     0.26                0.42

Total                0.39                    0.61                   1

P(female or between 18-20) = P(female) + P(18-20) - P(Female and 18-20)

P(female or between 18-20) =  0.42+0.39-0.16

P(female or between 18-20) = 0.65

Hence, our required probability is 0.65.

Suppose you were exploring the hypothesis that there is a relationship between parents’ and children’s party identification. Wou
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

No

It could be purely due to chance.

Step-by-step explanation:

A population is defined as the whole group which has the same characteristics. For example a population of the college belongs to the same college . But a sample may be an element of a population.

So it is not necessary for a population to have the same characteristics as the sample.

But it is essential for the sample to have at least one same characteristics as the population.

So we would not be correct in inferring that such a relationship also exists in the population.

It is a hypothesis which can be true or false due to certain conditions or limitations as the case maybe.

For example in a population of smokers some may be in the habit of taking cocaine. But a sample of cocaine users does not mean the whole population uses it.

It could be purely due to chance if we find out that there is a relationship between parents’ and children’s party identification in the population.

Radium-226, an isotope of radium, has a half-life of 1,601 years. Suppose your chemistry teacher has a 50-gram sample of radium-
Sholpan [36]
We know that
Half-life is modeled by the formula
An=A0*(0.5)<span>^[t/h)]
where
An----------> </span>is the amount remaining after a time t
A0----------> is the initial quantity
t------------> is the time
h------------> is the half-life of the decaying quantity

in this problem
h=1601 years
A0=50 g
An=?
t=100 years
An=A0*(0.5)^[t/h)]---------> An=50*(0.5)^[100/1601)]-----> 47.88 gr

the answer is 47.88 g

A length is measured as 21cm correct to 2 significant figures. what is the upper bound for the length?​
Leno4ka [110]

the upper bound for the length is  21.5  cm .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Lower and Upper Bounds

  • The lower bound is the smallest value that will round up to the approximate value.
  • The upper bound is the smallest value that will round up to the next approximate value.

Ex:- a mass of 70 kg, rounded to the nearest 10 kg, The upper bound is 75 kg, because 75 kg is the smallest mass that would round up to 80kg.

Here , A length is measured as 21cm correct to 2 significant figures. We need to find what is the upper bound for the length . let's find out:

As discussed above , upper bound for any number will be the smallest value in decimals which will round up to next integer value . So , for 21 :

⇒ 21.5  cm

21.5 cm on rounding off will give 22 cm . So , the upper bound for the length is  21.5  cm .
