A nutritionist wants to estimate the average caloric content of the burritos at a popular restaurant. They obtain a random sample of 16 burritos and measure their caloric content. The sample mean and sample standard deviation of measured caloric contents of the 16 burritos are 700 calories and 50 calories, respectively. Suppose the caloric content of burritos is normally distributed. Based on the sample, which of the following is a 95% upper confidence bound for the mean caloric content of these burritos?
A. μ≤700+ t 0.05, 15x50/4
B. μ≤700+ t 0.025, 16x50/4
C. μ≤700+ t 0.025, 15x50/4
D. μ≤700+ z 0.05 x50/4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\mu \leq 700 + t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{50}{4}[/tex], option c

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

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 = 16 - 1 = 15

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 15 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and an [tex]\alpha[/tex] level of [tex]\frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex], thus, we have [tex]t_{(0.025,15)}[/tex]

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. For this question, we have [tex]s = 50,n = 16[/tex]. So

[tex]M = t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M = t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{50}{\sqrt{16}}[/tex]

[tex]M = t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{50}{4}[/tex]

Upper bound:

The upper bound is less than the sample mean of 700 added to the margin of error of M. Thus

[tex]\mu \leq 700 + t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{50}{4}[/tex]

And the correct answer is given by option c.

g-1(x)=3/2x+1

not equal to f(x)=½x+1

Given function are not function of each other .

Problem 1

Answer: You are correct. They are inverses

--------------------

Explanation:

One way to see if we have an inverse pair or not is to compute these two composite functions

f(g(x))g(f(x))

If both result in x, and just that, then we have shown that they are inverses of one another.

f(x) = (2x)/3

f(x) = (2/3)x

f(g(x)) = (2/3)*g(x)

f(g(x)) = (2/3)*(3/2)x

f(g(x)) = x

The steps to show that g(f(x)) = x are very similar

g(x) = (3/2)x

g(f(x)) = (3/2)*f(x)

g(f(x)) = (3/2)*(2/3)*x

g(f(x)) = x

So this verifies that you have the correct answer.

======================================================

Problem 2

Answer: These functions are inverses of each other.

--------------------

Explanation:

We'll use the same idea as problem 1

f(x) = 2 - (3/4)*x

f(g(x)) = 2 - (3/4)*( g(x) )

f(g(x)) = 2 - (3/4)*( (-4/3)x + 8/3 )

f(g(x)) = 2 - (3/4)*(-4/3)x  - (3/4)*(8/3)

f(g(x)) = 2 + x - 2

f(g(x)) = x

So far so good, but we need to check the other way around as well

g(x) = (-4/3)x + 8/3

g(f(x)) = (-4/3)*( f(x) ) + 8/3

g(f(x)) = (-4/3)*( 2 - (3/4)*x ) + 8/3

g(f(x)) = (-4/3)*(2) + (-4/3)*(-3/4)*x + 8/3

g(f(x)) = -8/3 + x + 8/3

g(f(x)) = x

This verifies that f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other.

Problems 3 and 4 will have similar steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find y when [tex]x = 50[/tex]

We have:

[tex]y\ \alpha\ \ x[/tex]

Express as equation

[tex]y = kx[/tex]

Solve for k

[tex]k = \frac{y}{x}[/tex]

When [tex]y=24; x =16[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{24}{16}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

15.  A triangle cannot be right-angled and obtuse angled at the same time. Since a right-angled triangle has one right angle, the other two angles are acute. Therefore, an obtuse-angled triangle can never have a right angle; and vice versa. ~I think it is false.

x and y are two integers and x ≠ 0. Which of the following is not a rational number? a) z b) y c)x/y d) y/x​

Answers

Answer: Choice A) z

==========================================================

Explanation:

x and y are two integers, with x being nonzero

This means x/y is rational as long as y is nonzero as well. If y = 0, then we have a division by zero error. Try something like 1/0 on your calculator and you'll find it doesn't work.

Similarly, y/x is rational as well. Any rational number is simply dividing two integers as a fraction like this. Other examples include stuff like 1/2, 4/5, 8/17, and so on.

Since y is an integer, this means we can write it like this: y = y/1. This shows any integer is also rational, but not the other way around. A fraction like 2/3 is rational but not an integer.

All of what was discussed above indicates that choices B, C and D can be ruled out. The only thing left is choice A. The variable z isn't defined, so it's not clear what it is exactly. But it's likely the answer as it's the only thing left after the eliminations.

Answer:

y = 3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3) ← 2 points on the line

m = [tex]\frac{3-0}{0+1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] = 3

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3 ) ⇒ c = 3

Average rate change to the nearest hundredth can be which answer ?

Answers

Answer:

0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x - 2)^(1/3)

average rate of change from x = -2 to x = 4 is [f(4) - f(-2)]/[4 - (-2)]

f(-2) = (-4)^(1/3) = -1.587401

f(4) = 2^(1/3) = 1.25992

[f(4) - f(-2)]/[4 - (-2)] = [1.25992 - (-1.587401)]/[4 - (-2)] = 0.47

What is a normal distribution?

An example of a continuous probability distribution is the normal distribution, in which the majority of data points cluster in the middle of the range, while the remaining ones taper off symmetrically toward either extreme. The distribution's mean is another name for the center

The study involves comparing the weight loss of four groups of participants (weight-loss pill alone, weight-loss pill with a low-fat diet, placebo pill alone, or placebo pill with a low-fat diet) after six months of treatment. ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is a statistical method used to analyze the differences among means of two or more groups.

In this case, ANOVA can be used to determine if there are significant differences in weight loss among the four treatment conditions.

A t-test or z-test would be appropriate if there were only two groups being compared.

A chi-square test is used to analyze categorical data, which is not applicable in this scenario where the data is continuous.

Therefore, an ANOVA F test would be used.

Two planes start from the same point and fly opposite directions. The first plane is flying 20 mph slower than the second plane in 2 h the planes are 540 mi apart. Find the rate of each plane

Answers

Answer:

This

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = rate of the slower plane (First plane!)

x+25 = rate of the faster plane (Second plane!)

The planes fly for 2 hours, where Distance = R*T

Distance between the planes = SUM of the distances.

R*T + R*T= 470 miles

2*x + 2*(x+25)=470

2x+2x + 50 = 470

4x+50=470
