A certain test preparation course is designed to help students improve their scores on the USMLE exam. A mock exam is given at the beginning and end of the course to determine the effectiveness of the course. The following measurements are the net change in 3 students' scores on the exam after completing the course:
15,20,18
Using these data, construct a 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course. Assume the population is approximately normal.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course is (13.42, 21.92).

Step-by-step explanation:

Average change in the sample:

[tex]M_{s} = \frac{15+20+18}{3} = 17.67[/tex]

Standard deviation of the sample:

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{(15-17.67)^2+(20-17.67)^2+(18-17.67)^2}{2}} = 2.52[/tex]

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so the t distribution is used.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 3 - 1 = 2

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 2 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 2.92

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.92\frac{2.52}{\sqrt{3}} = 4.25[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 17.67 - 4.25 = 13.42

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 17.67 + 4.25 = 21.92

The 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course is (13.42, 21.92).

Answers

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's draw the center of the circle S and the segments SE and SD.

SE is perpendicular to EF (as EF is tangent to circle).

That means FED + DES = 90deg

We also know that DSE = 120deg

And because the SED is an isosceles triangle, we know that angle measures for DES and SDE are equal.

DES = (180deg - 120deg) / 2 = 30deg

FED = 90deg - DES = 90deg - 30deg = 60deg

at time t, the position of a body moving along the s-axis is s=t^3 - 12t^2 + 36t m. Find the total distance traveled by the body from t=0 to t=3.

Answers

Answer:

27 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The position of a body is given by :

[tex]s=t^3 - 12t^2 + 36t[/tex]

We need to find the total distance traveled by the body from t=0 to t=3.

At t = 0,

[tex]s=0^3 - 12(0)^2 + 36(0)=0\ m[/tex]

At t = 3 s,

[tex]s=(3)^3 - 12(3)^2 + 36(3)\\\\=27\ m[/tex]

So, the total distance from t=0 to t=3 is equal to 27 m.

The sum of two numbers is -25. One number is 101 less than the other. Find the numbers

Answers

Answer:

-63, 38

Step-by-step explanation:

1st number = x

2nd number = x+101

x+x+101=-25

2x=-126

x=-63

1st number = x = -63

2nd number = x+101 = 38

Answer:

x=38

y= -63

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=-25

y=x-101

x+(x-101)= -25

2x=-25+101

2x=76

x=76/2

x=38

y=x-101

y=38-101

y= -63

F(x)=8x sqrt(x-x^2) Find the exact maximum

Answers

First take note of the domain of f(x) ; the square root term is defined as long as x - x ² ≥ 0, or 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.

Check the value of f(x) at these endpoints:

f (0) = 0

f (1) = 0

Take the derivative of f(x) :

[tex]f(x)=8x\sqrt{x-x^2}=8x\left(x-x^2\right)^{\frac12}[/tex]

[tex]\implies f'(x)=8\left(x-x^2\right)^{\frac12}+4x\left(x-x^2\right)^{-\frac12}(1-2x)=4\left(x-x^2\right)^{-\frac12}\left(2\left(x-x^2)\right)+x(1-2x)\right)=\dfrac{4(3x-4x^2)}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}[/tex]

For x ≠ 0, we can eliminate the √x term in the denominator:

[tex]x\neq0\implies f'(x)=\dfrac{4\sqrt x (3-4x)}{\sqrt{1-x}}[/tex]

f(x) has critical points where f '(x) is zero or undefined. We know about the undefined case, which occurs at the boundary of the domain of f(x). Check where f '(x) = 0 :

x (3 - 4x) = 0

x = 0   or   3 - 4x = 0

The first case gives x = 0, which we ignore. The second leaves us with x = 3/4, at which point we get a maximum of max{f(x) } = 3√3 / 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can immediatly rule out A and B because the Quotient is bigger than the Divisor.

We can then rule out D because 2,016 does not round to 2,200.

The answer is C. 2,184 can round to 2200 and the Divisor is bigger than the quotient.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite simple as we can find the answer out on the first hint itself. The first hint says the divisor, 2 number in the equation or number you are dividing by, can be rounded to 50, which means it is in the range of 45-54. We can see the only divisor in that range is C. To go with the other hints, though, the dividend, first number, can be rounded to 2,200 which means it is in the range of 2,151-2,250. All of them pass that, so on to the next hint. It says the quotient, number you get as answer, is smaller than the divisor, which we found is in the range of 45-54. Answer choices A and B do not follow this as the divisors of their equation are obviously smaller than the quotient, so we can conclude C to be our answer

Okay so starting off I get that this math can be really confusing but you’ll get it if you keep working at it. Don’t give up you got this. For part it it is asking for the volume in cubic feet to do this you multiple H•W•L

H=hight

W=Width

L=Length

Now you don’t really need to know exactly which side is the H,L, or W but since you only have 3 sides with domentions you know that you multiply all three sides now it doesn’t matter what order you do it in.

Help! Quick! Find the area of the composite figure

Answers

Answer:

60m

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the triangle you multiply the base by height and divide by two, but we don’t know the base of the triangle!

Luckily, the bottom of the triangle is a rectangle. Rectangles are symmetrical, and the other side of the rectangle is 8.

So, the base of the triangle is 8.

Now let’s find the area of the triangle:

8 x 5 = 40

40/2 = 20

20 is the area of the triangle

Now, we must find the area of the rectangle!

The formula for rectangle area is just width x length:

8 x 5 = 40

Add them together:

40 + 20 = 60

Therefore, the area is 60m.

A person's level of blood glucose and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood.

Answers

Answer:

The pvalue of Z when X = 104.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

What is the probability that, for an adult after a 12-hour fast, x is less than 104?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 104.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{104 - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]\mu[/tex] and [tex]\sigma[/tex] are the values of the mean and of the standard deviation, respectively.

the radius of the inner circle is 2.5. which  is half of the diameter of 5

Answers

Answer:

B is True

A, C. D are false

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 120

Mean diameter, m = 10

Standard deviation, s = 0.24

Confidence level, Zcritical ; Z0.05/2 = Z0.025 = 1.96

The confidence interval represents how the true mean value compares to a set of values around the mean computed from a set of sample drawn from the population.

The population here is N = 10000

To obtain

Confidence interval (C. I) :

Mean ± margin of error

Margin of Error = Zcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.24/sqrt(120)

Confidence interval for the 10,000 ball bearing :

10 ± 1.96 * (0.24) / sqrt(120)

Hence. The confidence interval defined as :

10 ± 1.96 * (0.24) / sqrt(120) is the 95% confidence interval for the mean diameter of the 10,000 bearings in the box.

Eli has $640 to spend at a bicycle store for some new gear and biking outfits. Assume all prices listed include tax.
He buys a new bicycle for $356.89.
He buys 2 bicycle reflectors for $16.70 each and a pair of bike gloves for $27.47.
He plans to spend some or all of the money he has left to buy new biking outfits for $74.08 each.

Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine oo, the number of outfits Eli can purchase while staying within his budget.

Answers

Answer:
He can buy 3 outfits
Step-by-step explanation:
Total: $640
New Bicycle: $356.89
Reflector(2)=$16.70(each)
Gloves:$27.47
First, we calculate the amount left.
Amount=total - (new bicycle + reflector * 2 + gloves)
Amount=$640 - ($356.89 + $16.70 * 2 + $27.47)
Amount=$640 - ($356.89 + $33.40 + $27.47)
Amount=$640 - $417.76
Amount=$222.24
An outfit costs $74.08 and he plans to buy x outfits.
The inequality is as follows:
$74.08x <_(less than or equal to) $222.24
The amount spent on outfits cannot exceed $222.24.
Divide both sides by $74.08.
$74.08x <_ $222.24
/$74.08 /$74.08
X <_ 3
To stay within budget, Eli can buy exactly 3 outfits on top of everything else.
