A manufacturer claims that its drug test will detect steroid use (that is, show positive for an athlete who uses steroids) 95% of the time. Further, 15% of all steroid-free individuals also test positive. 10% of the rugby team members use steroids. Your friend on the rugby team has just tested positive.

                  [tex](S_{no})[/tex]    

                             0.85         [tex](-)[/tex]        

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

10% of the rugby team members use steroids

so Probability of using steroid; P( use steroid ) = 10% = 0.10

Probability of not using steroid; P( no steroid use ) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

Since the test show positive for an athlete who uses steroids, 95% of the time.

Probability of using steroids and testing positive = 95% = 0.95

Probability of using steroids and testing Negative = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Also from the test, 15% of all steroid-free individuals also test positive.

so

Probability of not using steroids and testing positive = 15% = 0.15

Probability of not using steroids and testing negative = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

To set up the probability tree, Let;

[tex](S)[/tex] represent steroid use

[tex](S_{no})[/tex] represent no steroid use

[tex](+)[/tex] represent test positive

[tex](-)[/tex] represent test negative

so we have;

                            0.95        [tex](+)[/tex]

                   [tex](S)[/tex]

          0.1              0.05        [tex](-)[/tex]

What are the zeros of the polynomial function f(x)=x3-7x2+8x+16

Answers

Answer: x=4, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you meant [tex]x^3-7x^2+8x+16[/tex], the zeros of the question are x = 4 and -1.

Step 1. Replace f(x) with y.

[tex]y = x^3-7x^2+8x+16[/tex]

Step 2. To find the roots of the equation, replace y with 0 and solve.

[tex]0 = x^3-7x^2+8x+16[/tex]

Step 3. Factor the left side of the equation.

[tex](x-4)^2 (x+1)=0[/tex]

Step 4. Set x-4 equal to 0 and solve for x.

[tex]x-4=0[/tex]

Step 5. Set [tex]x+1[/tex] equal to 0 and solve for x.

[tex]x=-1[/tex]

The solution is the result of [tex]x-4=0[/tex] and [tex]x+1=0[/tex].

CUSTOMERS AT A STORE

The bar graph above shows the number of customers who shopped at a store Monday through Thursday of

Thursday, how many customers shopped at the store on Friday?
O 480
O 500
O 525
O 600

Answers

Answer:

480

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the total number of customers in the store on Friday using a chart and a fractional increase.

On Thursday there were 400 customers, so we need to find the amount of the increase.

1/5 of 400 =80

Increase Thursday's amount, 400, by the amount of the increase, 80, to find the number of customers on Friday.

400+80 = 480

Friday has 480

Answer:

480

Step-by-step explanation:

400 + 1/5(400) = 400 + 80 = 480

Barack Obama 47
Donald Trump 70
a. Find the mean of the data set. (Round to one decimal place.)
b. Find the standard deviation of the data set. (Do not round until the final answer. Round final answer to 1 decimal place.)
c. What percentage of presidents' ages fall within one standard deviation of the mean

Answers

Answer:

a) The mean of the data set is 58.3.

b) The standard deviation of the data-set is of 10.8.

c) 50% of presidents' ages fall within one standard deviation of the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Sum of all values divided by the number of values.

[tex]M = \frac{69 + 64 + 46 + 54 + 47 + 70}{6} = 58.3[/tex]

The mean of the data set is 58.3.

Question b:

Square root of the sum of the difference squared between each value and the mean, divided by the number of values subtracted by 1. So

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(69-58.3)^2 + (64-58.3)^2 + (46-58.3)^2 + (54-58.3)^2 + (47-58.3)^2 + (70-58.3)^2}{5}} = 10.8[/tex]

The standard deviation of the data-set is of 10.8.

Question c:

Between 58.3 - 10.8 = 47.5 and 58.3 + 10.8 = 69.1.

3 out of 6(Reagan, Bush and W. Bush), so:

3*100%/6 = 50%

50% of presidents' ages fall within one standard deviation of the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for graph

Solving (a): Solution to p(x) and f(x)

Curve p(x) and line f(x) do not intersect.

So, there is no solution to the pair of p(x) and f(x)

Solving (b): Two solutions to f(x)

This means that we select any two point on straight line f(x)

From the line of f(x), we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) =(-3,-3)\\(x_2,y_2) =(4,4)[/tex]

Solving (c): Solution to p(x) = g(x)

A sample of 42 observations is selected from one population with a population standard deviation of 3.3. The sample mean is 101.0. A sample of 53 observations is selected from a second population with a population standard deviation of 3.6. The sample mean is 99.0. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.04 significance level.
H0 : μ1 = μ2
H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2
a. State the decision rule.
b. Compute the value of the test statistic.
c. What is your decision regarding H0?
d. What is the p-value?

Answers

Answer:

a)

[tex]|z| < 2.054[/tex]: Do not reject the null hypothesis.

[tex]|z| > 2.054[/tex]: Reject the null hypothesis.

b) [tex]z = 2.81[/tex]

c) Reject.

d) The p-value is 0.005.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before testing the hypothesis, we need to understand the central limit theorem and the subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Population 1:

Sample of 42, standard deviation of 3.3, mean of 101, so:

[tex]\mu_1 = 101[/tex]

[tex]s_1 = \frac{3.3}{\sqrt{42}} = 0.51[/tex]

Population 2:

Sample of 53, standard deviation of 3.6, mean of 99, so:

[tex]\mu_2 = 99[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \frac{3.6}{\sqrt{53}} = 0.495[/tex]

H0 : μ1 = μ2

Can also be written as:

[tex]H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0[/tex]

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2

Can also be written as:

[tex]H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \neq 0[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error .

a. State the decision rule.

0.04 significance level.

Two-tailed test(test if the means are different), so between the 0 + (4/2) = 2nd and the 100 - (4/2) = 98th percentile of the z-distribution, and looking at the z-table, we get that:

[tex]|z| < 2.054[/tex]: Do not reject the null hypothesis.

[tex]|z| > 2.054[/tex]: Reject the null hypothesis.

b. Compute the value of the test statistic.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]

From the samples:

[tex]X = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 101 - 99 = 2[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.51^2 + 0.495^2} = 0.71[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{2 - 0}{0.71}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2.81[/tex]

c. What is your decision regarding H0?

[tex]|z| = 2.81 > 2.054[/tex], which means that the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

d. What is the p-value?

Probability that the means differ by at least 2, either plus or minus, which is P(|z| > 2.81), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -2.81.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.81 has a p-value of 0.0025.

2*0.0025 = 0.005

The p-value is 0.005.

You have collected data about the fasting blood glucose (FBG) level of participants in your study. You are delighted to find that the variable is normally distributed. If the mean FBG is 82 and the standard deviation is 2.8 in what range would you expect to find the FBG of 68% of your study participants

Answers

Answer:

Between 79.2 and 84.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 82, standard deviation of 2.8.

In what range would you expect to find the FBG of 68% of your study participants?

By the Empirical Rule, within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so:

82 - 2.8 = 79.2

82 + 2.8 = 84.8

Between 79.2 and 84.8.
