What is a statistical error?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Statistical error is the difference between the estimated or approximated value and the true value.  

Two Possible Types of Statistical Error

Type I Errors occur when we reject a null hypothesis that is actually true; the probability of this occurring is denoted by alpha (a).

Type II Errors are when we accept a null hypothesis that is actually false; its probability is called beta (b).

Example

You test whether a new drug intervention can alleviate symptoms of an autoimmune disease.

A Type I error happens when you get false positive results: you conclude that the drug intervention improved symptoms when it actually didn’t. These improvements could have arisen from other random factors or measurement errors.

A Type II error happens when you get false negative results: you conclude that the drug intervention didn’t improve symptoms when it actually did. Your study may have missed key indicators of improvements or attributed any improvements to other factors instead.

In a group of students. 20 study Account. 21 Study mathematics 18 study history 7 study account only 10 study mathematics only 6 study account and mathematics only and 3 study mathematics and history only.how many student are there altogether

Answers

Answer:

In total there are 50 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in a group of students 20 study account, 21 study mathematics, 18 study history, 7 study account only, 10 study mathematics only, 6 study account and mathematics only and 3 study mathematics and history only, to determine how many student are there altogether the following calculation must be performed:

7 + 10 + 6 + 3 = 26

Account = 20 - 7 - 6 = 7

Mathematics = 21 - 10 - 6 - 3 = 2

History = 18 - 3 = 15

26 + 7 + 2 + 15 = X

50 = X

Therefore, in total there are 50 students.

so option C is the answer

Answer:

D. 80 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

If ∠6 is 120 and ∠5 is 100 we see a pattern forming for example, if we divide 120 by 6 we get 20 this is the same for if we divide 100 by 5, we get 20. Now all we need to do for ∠4 is to multiply it by 20 = 80, which is your answer!

A group of 12 friends bought tickets for an afternoon concert. However, not all of the friends were able to sit together. Tickets for floor seats cost $15 each, and tickets for tier seats cost $70 each. The total cost of the tickets was $345. How many tickets for tier seats did they purchase

Answers

Answer:

3 tier seats tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the friends that bought floor seats be x and let the friends that bought tier seats be y.

Thus;

x + y = 12 - - - (eq 1)

Floor seats tickets cost $15 each, and tier seats tickets cost $70 each. The total cost of the tickets was $345. Thus;

15x + 70y = 345 - - - (eq 2)

Let's make x the subject in eq (1)

x = 12 - y

Putting this for x in eq 2 gives;

15(12 - y) + 70y = 345

180 - 15y + 70y = 345

55y = 345 - 180

55y = 165

y = 165/55

y = 3

Put 3 for y in x = 12 - y to get;

x = 12 - 3

x = 9

Thus, they purchased 9 floor seats tickets and 3 tier seats tickets

Can y’all help me on question 11?!

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is choice C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the arrow, we must add together the areas of the rectangle and the triangle that make up the arrow.  The rectangle has a length of 10 inches and a width of 4 inches, and the triangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 2 inches.  Using this information, we can plug numbers into the following formula:

Area of arrow = area of rectangle + area of triangle

Area of arrow = (10*4)+(1/2*8*2)

Area of arrow = 40 inches squared + 8 inches squared

Area of arrow = 48 inches squared

Therefore, the correct answer is option C, 48 square units (in this case, inches).

We would apply the trigonometric function CAH since we are dealing with the Adjacent side (A) and the Hypotenuse (H). Thus:

Cos y° = Adj/Hyp

Cos y° = 18/20

Cos y° = 0.9

Answers

Answer:

x = 50 + 95 = 145

.........

Answer:

x = 145°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Measure of the first angle = 50°

Measure of the second angle = 95°

We know,

Sum of 3 angles of a triangle is equals to 180°

∴ The third angle = 180° - (50+95)°

                             = 180° - 145°

                             = 35°

Again,

Straight angle = 180°

∴ x = 180° - 35°

      = 145°

∴x = 145°

The number of households

To do this, we simply multiply the average households by the gallons.

A bag holds 20 red marbles and 40 green ones, for a total of 60 marbles. Ryan picks one marble from the bag at random, hoping to pick a red marble. Which of the following statements is true?
a. The probability that Ryan will pick a red marble on the first try is 67%. If he keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, the probability that he will pick a green marble decreases.
b. The probability that Ryan will pick a red marble on the first try is 33%. If he keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, the probability that he will pick a green marble increases.
c. The probability that Ryan will pick a red marble on the first try is 33%. If he keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, the probability that he will pick a green marble decreases.
d. The probability that Ryan will pick a red marble on the first try is 67%. If he keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, the probability that he will pick a green marble increases.

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability Ryan will pick a red marble on the first try is 33%. If he keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, that % will decrease.

The probability of picking a red marble on the first try is 33%, and if Ryan keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, the probability of picking a green marble decreases.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

In this case, there are 20 red marbles out of a total of 60 marbles.

So the probability of picking a red marble on the first try is 20/60, which simplifies to 1/3 or 33%.

If Ryan keeps the red marble and picks another one from the bag, the total number of marbles becomes 59.

The number of green marbles remains the same at 40.

Therefore, the probability of picking a green marble on the second try is 40/59, which is less than the probability of picking a green marble on the first try.

Hence, the probability of picking a red marble on the first try is 33%.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

is the spotted blue section considered "a blue sector"?

Assuming that "blue" or "red" is only a solid blue or red, this is the answer...

1)  (1/10)* (3/10) = .03

2) (3/10) * (3/10) = 9/100 = .09

3) (3/10) * (1/10) = 3/100 = .03

4) (4/10) * (3/10) = 12/100 = .12

if the spotted blue and the solid blue are considered blue then this would be the result ...

1)  (1/10)* (3/10) = .03

2) (4/10) * (3/10) = 12/100 = .12

3) (3/10) * (1/10) = 3/100 = .03

4) (8/10) * (3/10) = 24/100 = .24
