The dotplot below displays the difference in scores for 18 games between a high school soccer team and its opponent.

A dotplot titled difference in Score. A number line going from negative 2 to 4 is labeled Team score minus opponent score. Negative 2, 1; negative 1, 2; 0, 2; 1, 3; 2, 6; 3, 3; 4, 1.

Which of the following is the best explanation for the dots at –1?

In one game, the team beat the opponent by 1 goal.
In two games, the team beat the opponent by 1 goal.
In one game, the team lost to the opponent by 1 goal.
In two games, the team lost to the opponent by 1 goal.

Answers

Answer: Choice D

In two games, the team lost to the opponent by 1 goal.

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

Explanation:

Negative scores indicate the team lost, and the absolute value of those values represent how much of a loss.

So a difference of -1 means the team lost by 1 point.

We have 2 dots over this value, so there are 2 occasions where the team lost  to the opponent by 1 goal.

An example would be that say the team scored 3 goals and the opponent scored 4 goals. So we have a differential of 3-4 = -1. The order is important because we would not say 4-3 = 1.

Among various ethnic groups, the standard deviation of heights is known to be approximately three inches. We wish to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean height of male Swedes. Forty-eight mile Swedes are surveyed. The sample mean is 71 inches. The sample standard deviation is 2.8 inches.

Required:
a. Calculate the error bound.
b. What will happen to the level of confidence obtained if 1,000 male Swedes are surveyed instead of 48? Why?

Answers

Answer:

a) The error bound of the confidence interval is of 0.66.

b) The confidence interval will be narrower.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have to find the margin of error. Considering that we have the standard deviation for the sample, the t-distribution is used.

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

df = 71 - 1 = 70

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 70 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.9944

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\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 problem, [tex]s = 2.8, n = 71[/tex]. So

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9944\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{71}} = 0.66[/tex]

The error bound of the confidence interval is of 0.66.

b. What will happen to the level of confidence obtained if 1,000 male Swedes are surveyed instead of 48? Why?

The margin of error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size, so increasing the sample size leads to a smaller margin  of error and a narrower confidence interval.

How to find the inverse of this matrix
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&3\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Here we have the matrix:

[tex]M = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&3\end{array}\right][/tex]

And we want to find its inverse.

The inverse of a 2x2 matrix A is:

(1/det(A))*adj(A)

where det(A) is the determinant of the matrix.

Such that for a matrix:

[tex]A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}a_{11}&a_{12}\\a_{21}&a_{22}\end{array}\right][/tex]

The determinant is:

det(A) = a₁₁*a₂₂ - a₁₂*a₂₁

in the case of our matrix M, the determinant is:

det(M) = 1*3 - 0*0 = 3

and adj(A) is a transposition along the diagonal, and for the other elements, we just change its sign.

Then for our matrix A we would have:

[tex]adj(A) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}a_{22}&-a_{12}\\-a_{21}&a_{11}\end{array}\right][/tex]

Then for our matrix M, we have:

[tex]adj(M) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-0\\-0&1\end{array}\right][/tex]

Then the inverse of the matrix M is:

[tex]M^{-1} = \frac{1}{det(M)} *adj(M) = \frac{1}{3}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&0\\0&1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1/3\end{array}\right][/tex]

The population of Americans age 55 and older as a percentage of the total population is approximated by the function f(t) = 10.72(0.9t + 10)^0.3 (0 <= t < = 20)

where t is measured in years, with t=0 corresponding to the year 2000.

Required:
a. At what rate was the percentage of Americans age 55 and older changing at the beginning of 2002?
b. At what rate will the percentage of Americans age 55 and older be changing in 2017?
c. What will be the percentage of the population of Americans age 55 and older in 2017?

Answers

Answer:

Part A)

About 0.51% per year.

Part B)

About 0.30% per year.

Part C)

About 28.26%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population of Americans age 55 and older as a percentange of the total population is approximated by the function:

[tex]f(t) = 10.72(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\text{ where } 0 \leq t \leq 20[/tex]

Where t is measured in years with t = 0 being the year 2000.

Part A)

Recall that the rate of change of a function at a point is given by its derivative. Thus, find the derivative of our function:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = \frac{d}{dt} \left[ 10.72\left(0.9t+10\right)^{0.3}\right][/tex]

Rewrite:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 10.72\frac{d}{dt} \left[(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\right][/tex]

We can use the chain rule. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [u(v(x))] = u'(v(x)) \cdot v'(x)[/tex]

Let:

[tex]\displaystyle u(t) = t^{0.3}\text{ and } v(t) = 0.9t+10 \text{ (so } u(v(t)) = (0.9t+10)^{0.3}\text{)}[/tex]

Then from the Power Rule:

[tex]\displaystyle u'(t) = 0.3t^{-0.7}\text{ and } v'(t) = 0.9[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}\left[(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\right]= 0.3(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}\cdot 0.9[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 10.72\left( 0.3(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}\cdot 0.9 \right)[/tex]

And simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 2.8944(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}[/tex]

For 2002, t = 2. Then the rate at which the percentage is changing will be:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(2) = 2.8944(0.9(2)+10)^{-0.7} = 0.5143...\approx 0.51[/tex]

Contextually, this means the percentage is increasing by about 0.51% per year.

Part B)

Evaluate f'(t) when t = 17. This yields:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(17) = 2.8944(0.9(17)+10)^{-0.7} =0.3015...\approx 0.30[/tex]

Contextually, this means the percetange is increasing by about 0.30% per year.

Part C)

For this question, we will simply use the original function since it outputs the percentage of the American population 55 and older. Thus, evaluate f(t) when t = 17:

[tex]\displaystyle f(17) = 10.72(0.9(17)+10)^{0.3}=28.2573...\approx 28.26[/tex]

So, about 28.26% of the American population in 2017 are age 55 and older.

Onetta goes to the food court to get a salad and sandwich for lunch. The Daily Deli has 8 varieties of sandwiches and 3 salads. Better Bites has 2 varieties of sandwiches and 7 salads. The Lunch Spot has 5 varieties of sandwiches and 8 salads. Determine the number of ways Onetta can select a sandwich and a salad.

Answers

Answer:

Onetta can salect a sandwich and a salad in 78 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Onetta goes to the food court to get a salad and sandwich for lunch, and the Daily Deli has 8 varieties of sandwiches and 3 salads, while Better Bites has 2 varieties of sandwiches and 7 salads, and the Lunch Spot has 5 varieties of sandwiches and 8 salads, to determine the number of ways Onetta can select a sandwich and a salad, the following calculation must be performed:

8 x 3 + 2 x 7 + 5 x 8 = X

24 + 14 + 40 = X

78 = X

Therefore, Onetta can salect a sandwich and a salad in 78 different ways.

1
C
D. There is no real solution.

Answers

I believe the question is:

What is the solution to 5x + 1 +9 - 3

In this case, we solve for X.

5x + 1 + 9 - 3

5x + 10 - 3

5x + 7

5x = -7

x = -7/5

Unfortunately, It is not one of the answer choices it looks like.

Maybe you should reword your question but hopefully this is correct.

If you meant to say 5x+1 + 9 < 3 --> 5x + 10 < 3 --> 5x < -7 --> x < -7/5

The value of x in a given expression is -7/5.

We have given that,

5x + 1 + 9 - 3

We have to determine the value of x.

What is the variable?

A variable is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types. Scientists try to figure out how the natural world works

In this case, we solve for X.

5x + 1 + 9 - 3

5x + 10 - 3

5x + 7

5x = -7

x = -7/5

If you meant to say 5x+1 + 9 < 3 --> 5x + 10 < 3 --> 5x < -7 --> x < -7/5.

Therefore we get the value of x is -7/5.

Answers

Answer:

the third option (a=1, h=0, k=6)

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand correctly what your teacher wants from you, then you need find a (the factor of x² in the equation) and the vertex (turnaround point) of the parabola represented by such a quadratic equation.

the vertex point coordinates are called (h, k).

the general form of such an equation equation is

y = ax² + bx + c

so, we have a right away : a=1

now we can make this quickly by using common sense, or a bit more complex by going through mathematical formulas.

the fast, practical way is to know that y=x² is the very basic parabola with its vertex at (0, 0).

y = x² + 6 is simply the same parabola just lifted up (y direction) by 6 units, that makes the vertex (0, 6).

in pure theory, though, we need to find the transformation from the general y = ax² + bx + c form to

y = a(x - h)² + k

we see right away that k = f(h) = h² + 6

y = a(x² - 2xh + h²) + k

a=1

y = x² - 2xh + h² + k = x² - 2xh + h² + h² + 6 =

= x² - 2xh + 2h² + 6

comparing with y = x² + 6

we know that

-2×h = 0

as we have no term with just x.

=> h = 0

2h² + 6 = k

2×0² + 6 = 6 = k

Define mean and median for a set of data

Answers

Answer:

The mean is the average number of a data set gotten by adding all the numbers then dividing by two.

the median is the middle number in a sorted set of data,either sorted in ascending order or descending order.

I hope this helps

To calculate mean:

• add up all the numbers,

• then divide by how many numbers there are.

Example:

Data: 5, 6, 10, 1

Add these all together, which is 22, then divide by 4 (because that is how many numbers there are), so:

the mean is 5.5

To calculate median:

Arrange your numbers in order.

Cross off numbers until you get to the middle.

If there is an even number of data, then find the two in the middle and find the middle of that.

Example:

Data: 5, 6, 10, 1

Arrange: 1, 5, 6, 10

So, the middle 2 are 5 and 6. In between these would be 5.5, so that is the median.

If the data was: 1, 5, 6, 8, 10,

then the median would be 6.
