George believes the Art Club students at his school have an unfair advantage in being assigned to the art class they request. He

asked 500 students at his school the following questions: "Are you in the Art Club?" and "Did you get the art class you requested?" The results are shown in the table below:
Art Club Not in Art Club Total
Received art class requested 100 265 365
Did not get art class requested 65 70 135
Total 165 335 500


Help George determine if all students at his school have an equal opportunity to get into the art class they requested. Show your work, and explain your process for determining the fairness of the class assignment process.

Answer:

  class assignment seems to discriminate against Art Club members

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting the requested assignment given that the student was in Art Club was ...

  P(got class | art club) = P(got class & art club)/P(art club)

  P(got class | art club) = (100/500)/(165/500) ≈ 60.6%

__

  P(got class | not club) = P(got class & not club)/P(not club)

  P(got class | not club) = (265/500)/(335/500) ≈ 79.1%

It looks like George's theory may be incorrect, as a significantly greater percentage of non-club students got their requested class than did club students. The class assignment process and art club membership are not independent, suggesting an unfair disadvantage for club students.

What are the domain and range of f (x) = (one-fifth) Superscript x?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The domain of the function is all real numbers (-\infty,\infty) and the range is all positive real numbers (0,\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function f(x)=(\frac{1}{5} )^x and we want to find the domain and the range.

The function we have is an example of an exponential function f(x)=b^x with b > 0 and b ≠ 1. This types of functions in general have the following properties:

  • It is always greater than 0, and never crosses the x-axis
  • Its domain is the set of real numbers
  • Its Range is the Positive Real Numbers (0,\infty)

The domain of a function is the specific set of values that the independent variable in a function can take on.

When determining domain it is more convenient to determine where the function would not exist.

This function has no undefined points nor domain constraints. Therefore the domain is (-\infty,\infty).

The range is the resulting values that the dependent variable can have as x varies throughout the domain. Therefore the range is (0,\infty).

We can check our results with the graph of the function.

Two commuters leave the same city at the same time but travel in opposite directions. One car is traveling at an average speed o
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to relate speed, distance and time is:

D = V * t

Where D is the distance, V is the speed and t is the time.

As they are in opposite directions, we need to sum the speed.

So the total speed is:

V = 63 + 59 = 122 mph

So using this value and V and using D = 610, we have:

610 = 122 * t

t = 610 / 122 = 5 hours

So they will be 610 miles apart after 5 hours.

noname [10]

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis for this test are

H_0: \mu\ge 215\\\\H_1: \mu< 215

Step-by-step explanation:

If we perform a hypothesis test, we can reject or not reject the null hypothesis.

To conclude that the tires have a decreased stopping distance (μ<215), we should state the null hypothesis H_0: \mu\ge 215 and then go on with the analysis to reject it (or not).

If the null hypothesis is rejected, the claim of the manufacturer is rigth.

The alternative hypothesis would be H_1: \mu, that would turn rigth if the null hypothesis is rejected.
