A tortoise and a hare are competing in a 2000-meter race. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 820-meter head start. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 7.5 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 4.5 meters per second.
a. Write an expression in terms of t that represents the hare's distance from the starting line (in meters)
b. Write an expression in terms of t that represents the tortoise's distance from the starting line (in meters).
c. Write an expression in terms of t that represents the number of meters the tortoise is ahead of the hare.

Answers

Answer 1

a. The hare's distance from the starting line is represented by the expression 7.5t.

b. The tortoise's distance from the starting line is represented by the expression 4.5t+820.

c. The number of meters the tortoise is ahead of the hare is represented by the expression 4.5t+820-7.5t.

In the race, the hare is running at a constant speed of 7.5 meters per second, so their distance from the starting line is equal to their speed multiplied by the time it takes them to run that distance. This is represented by the expression 7.5t, where t is the time in seconds it takes the hare to run.

Similarly, the tortoise is crawling at a constant speed of 4.5 meters per second, so their distance from the starting line is equal to their speed multiplied by the time it takes them to crawl that distance, plus the 820-meter head start they were given. This is represented by the expression 4.5t+820, where t is the time in seconds it takes the tortoise to crawl.

To find the number of meters the tortoise is ahead of the hare, we subtract the hare's distance from the starting line from the tortoise's distance from the starting line, which gives us the expression 4.5t+820-7.5t.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

  A = (1/2)(6 ft +5 ft)(10 ft) = 55 ft²

The numerical value of the answer would be 110 if we "forgot" to multiply by 1/2.

According to exit polling from the 2014 U.S. midterm elections, 36% of voters had a household income less than $50,000, while 64% had a household income of at least $50,000. Forty-three percent of voters from house-holds making less than $50,000 voted for the Republican party in the election, while 55% percent of voters from households making at least $50,000 voted Republican. What is the probability that a randomly selected Republican voter from the exit poll is from a household that makes at least $50,000

Answers

Answer:

0.6946 = 69.46% probability that a randomly selected Republican voter from the exit poll is from a household that makes at least $50,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Republican

Event B: From a household that makes at least $50,000.

Probability of Republican:

43% of 36%(makes less than $50,000).

55% of 64%(makes more than $50,000).

So

[tex]P(A) = 0.43*0.36 + 0.55*0.64 = 0.5068[/tex]

Republican and from a household that makes at least $50,000.

55% of 64%. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.55*0.64 = 0.352[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly selected Republican voter from the exit poll is from a household that makes at least $50,000?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.352}{0.5068} = 0.6946[/tex]

0.6946 = 69.46% probability that a randomly selected Republican voter from the exit poll is from a household that makes at least $50,000.

Answers

Answer:

A. Compound Interest

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest is interest paid on both the principal and previously earned interest.

Compound interest earned on both the principal and any previously earned interest. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

What is the rate of interest?

An interest rate tells you how high the cost of borrowing is, or high the rewards are for saving. So, if you're a borrower, the interest rate is the amount you are charged for borrowing money, shown as a percentage of the total amount of the loan.

Compound interest is the interest on savings calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.

The formula used to find the compound interest = [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^{nt}[/tex]

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

An initial investment of $2,000 earns 7% interest compounded continuously. What will the investment be worth in 17 years? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer:

Future value, A = $6,317.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal = $2,000

Interest rate = 7%

Time = 17 years

To find the future value, we would use the compound interest formula;

[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100})^{t}[/tex]

Where;

A is the future value.

P is the principal or starting amount.

r is annual interest rate.

t is the number of years for the compound interest.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] A = 2000*(1 + \frac{7}{100})^{17}[/tex]

[tex] A = 2000*(1 + 0.07)^{17}[/tex]

[tex] A = 2000*(1.07)^{17}[/tex]

[tex] A = 2000 * 3.1588 [/tex]

Do mice show a preference for using one paw over the other? Attempting to answer this question, a researcher tested a random sample of 48 mice and observed which forepaw (right or left) the mice used to retrieve food from a narrow tube. Eighteen of the mice used their right paw, while the rest used their left paw.
Does this data suggest that mice show a preference towards one paw over the other? Carry out the appropriate test and include all steps for full credit.
During the course of the experiment, the researcher noticed that individual mice sometimes switched which forepaw they used to retrieve the food. So she repeated this study on the same 48 mice, but measured each one 10 times and she recorded which forepaw was used each time. With her new dataset of 480 observations, would you be able to run the same analysis as in part (a)? If so, carry out the analysis and compare the results. If not, why not?

Answers

Answer:

It all depends on the food they are going for, just like humans, mice have instincts. For example, if you were falling forward, which foot would you put out? Most likely the opposite one. I hope this helps you!

Step-by-step explanation:

Using hypotheses testing,

In both cases, we fail to reject the null hypothesis, indicating that there is not enough evidence to suggest that mice show a preference towards one paw over the other.

We have,

(a)

To test whether the data suggest that mice show a preference towards one paw over the other, we can use a one-sample proportion test.

The null hypothesis (H0) is that the proportion of mice that use their right paw is 0.5 (indicating no preference towards one paw over the other).

The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is that the proportion of mice that use their right paw is different from 0.5 (indicating a preference towards one paw over the other).

We can use a significance level (alpha) of 0.05.

To conduct the test, we can calculate the test statistic using the formula:

z = (p - 0.5) / √(0.5 x 0.5 / n)

where p is the proportion of mice that use their right paw, and n is the sample size.

Using the given data, we have:

p = 18/48 = 0.375

n = 48

Plugging in the values, we get:

z = (0.375 - 0.5) / √(0.5 x 0.5 / 48) = -1.714

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator,

We can find the p-value associated with this test statistic.

The p-value is the probability of observing a test statistic as extreme as -1.714 or more extreme, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

The p-value for this test is 0.0869.

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level of 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

This means that we do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that mice show a preference towards one paw over the other, based on the given sample.

(b)

With the new dataset of 480 observations, we can still conduct a similar analysis using a one-sample proportion test.

However, since each mouse was measured 10 times, the observations are no longer independent.

Therefore, we need to use a different test that accounts for the dependency between observations, such as McNemar's test.

McNemar's test is a test of the marginal homogeneity of a two-way table, where the same subjects are measured twice on a binary outcome.

In this case, we can create a 2x2 contingency table of the number of times each mouse used their right or left paw, and conduct a McNemar's test on this table.

The null hypothesis for McNemar's test is that there is no difference in the proportions of mice that use their right or left paws.

The alternative hypothesis is that there is a difference.

To conduct the test, we can calculate the test statistic using the formula:

chi-squared = (|b-c|-1)² / (b+c)

where b is the number of mice that used their right paw more often, and c is the number of mice that used their left paw more often.

Using the given data, we have:

b = 214

c = 244

Plugging in the values, we get:

chi-squared = (|214-244|-1)² / (214 + 244) = 2.417

Using a chi-squared distribution table or calculator with 1 degree of freedom (since we have a 2x2 table), we can find the p-value associated with this test statistic.

The p-value is the probability of observing a test statistic as extreme as 2.417 or more extreme, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

The p-value for this test is 0.119.

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level of 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

This means that we do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the proportions of mice that use their right or left paws, based on the new dataset.

Thus,

In both cases, we fail to reject the null hypothesis, indicating that there is not enough evidence to suggest that mice show a preference towards one paw over the other.
