Exercise 5.16.1: Coin flips and events. About A coin is flipped four times. For each of the events described below, express the event as a set in roster notation. Each outcome is written as a string of length 4 from {H, T}, such as HHTH. Assuming the coin is a fair coin, give the probability of each event. (a) The first and last flips come up heads. Solution (b) There are at least two consecutive flips that come up heads.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex](a)\ Pr = 0.25[/tex]

[tex](b)\ Pr = 0.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Flips = 4[/tex]

First, we calculate the sample size;

The coin has two possible outcomes (i.e. head or tail) and the number of flips is 4.

So, the sample size (N) is:

[tex]N = 2^4[/tex]

[tex]N = 16[/tex]

Solving (a): Probability the outcome of the first and last flip is head.

The possible outcomes for this event are:

[tex]n = \{(HHHH), (HHTH), (HTHH),(HTTH)\}[/tex]

[tex]n(n) = 4[/tex]

The probability is:

[tex]Pr = \frac{n(n)}{N}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{4}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.25[/tex]

 

Solving (a): Probability that the outcome of at least 2 consecutive flips is head.

The possible outcomes for this event are:

[tex]n = \{(HHHH), (HHHT),(HHTH), (HTHH),(THHH),(TTHH),(HHTT), (THHT)\}[/tex]

[tex]n(n) = 8[/tex]

The probability is:

[tex]Pr = \frac{n(n)}{N}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{8}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.50[/tex]

Using the same scenario as above, but now you do not know the population variance. You collect a random sample of n = 21 cereal boxes and find the sample mean is 12.8 and the sample standard deviation to be 0.5. Test the null hypothesis H0: µ = 13 against the alternative hypothesis HA: µ < 13 at level of significance α = 0.01.

Required:
a. Find the test statistic.
b. Using the rejection region, do you reject or not reject the null hypothesis?
c. Find the p-value.
d. Using the p-value, do you reject or not reject the null hypothesis?
e. In context of your problem, what is your conclusion about the ounces contained in cereal boxes?

Answers

Answer:

-1.833 ; we do not reject the Null.

Pvalue = 0.0409 ; We do not reject the Null

There is no significant evidence to conclude that the number of ounces contained in the cereal boxes is less than 13

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μ = 13

HA : μ < 13

Test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ s/sqrt(n)

(12.8 - 13) ÷ 0.5/sqrt(21)

-0.2 / 0.1091089

= - 1.833

The critical value at α = 0.01 ; df = 21 - 1 = 20 = 2.528

-1.833 > - 2. 528 (left tailed test) ; Hence we do not reject the Null.

Test statistic :

Pvalue from Test statistic at DF = 20 ; α = 0.01

Pvalue = 0.0409

Pvalue > α

0.0409 > 0.01 ; Hence, we do not reject H0.

There is no significant evidence to conclude that the number of ounces contained in the cereal boxes is less than 13

What is the fraction?

In Mathematics, fractions are represented as a numerical value, which defines a part of a whole. A fraction can be a portion or section of any quantity out of a whole, where the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing.

Let the unknown number be x.

Here, 1/3 = x/12

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 4, we get

4/12

So, 4/12 = x/12

x=12

Therefore, the unknown number is 12.

Answer:

Graph #1 - y=-20x+40

Graph #2 - y=5x+10

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing that you do is pull two points from each of the graphs and find the slope. To find the slope you use

M = y2-y1/x2-x1

FROM GRAPH #1:

(3,40) (2,80)

(x1,y1)    (x2,y2)

   80-40/2-3

      20/-1

    M = -20

FROM GRAPH #2:

(1,10) (3,20)

(x1,y1)  (x2,y2)

  20-10/3-1

     10/2

    M = 5

2. Now once you find the slope you will use the equation of a line formula to form an equation.

y=mx+b

The (mx) is your slope, the (b) is the y-intercept. (any value on the y-axis)

3. Since we now know the equation of a line and the slope we will substitute the variables.

Graph #1:

y=mx+b

y=-20x+40

Graph #2:

y=mx+b

y=5x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a gumball machine consists of a base and a glass sphere, and the gumballs are stored in the glass sphere, if each gumball has a diameter of 1.5 inches, to determine how many gumballs can be stored in a gumball machine whose glass sphere measures 10 inches in diameter, the following calculation must be made:

10 / 1.5 = X

6.666666 = X

Thus, 6 gumballs can be stored in the gumball machine.

The perimeter of a rectangular plot of land for a new housing development is 270 m.

The width of the site is 60 m.

Calculate the length of the building site.

Answers

The length of the building site is 75 meters.

To calculate the length of the rectangular plot of land, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is given by:

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

In this case, the width is given as 60 m, and the perimeter is given as 270 m. We can substitute these values into the equation and solve for the length.

270 = 2 * (Length + 60)

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 gives:

135 = Length + 60

Subtracting 60 from both sides of the equation gives:

Length = 135 - 60

Length = 75

It's important to note that the length of the building site is specific to this particular rectangular plot of land with a given width and perimeter. If the width or perimeter were to change, the length would also change accordingly. Additionally, this calculation assumes that the shape of the plot is a rectangle and that the perimeter only includes the sides of the plot, not any internal structures or obstacles.
