When do creative people get their best ideas? USA Today did a survey of 966 inventors (who hold U.S. patents) and obtained the following information.

Time of Day When Best Ideas Occur
Time Number of Inventors
6 A.M.-12 noon 271
12 noon-6 P.M. 123
6 P.M.-12 midnight 327
12 midnight-6 A.M. 245

Required:
a. Assuming that the time interval includes the left limit and all the times up to but not including the right limit, estimate the probability that an inventor has a best idea during each time interval: from 6 A.M. to 12 noon, from 12 noon to 6 P.M., from 6 P.M. to 12 midnight, from 12 midnight to 6 A.M.
b. Do the probabilities add up to 1? Why should they?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.

0.2805 = 28.05% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 6 A.M. to 12 noon.

0.1273 = 12.73% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 12 noon to 6 P.M.

0.3385 = 33.85% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 6 P.M. to 12 midnight.

0.2536 = 25.36% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 12 midnight to 6 A.M.

b. They do, as the the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes should be 1, as is in this question.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the total outcomes.

We have:

A total of 966 inventors.

Question a:

6 A.M. to 12 noon

271 out of 966, so:

[tex]p = \frac{271}{966} = 0.2805[/tex]

0.2805 = 28.05% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 6 A.M. to 12 noon.

12 noon to 6 P.M.

123 out of 966, so:

[tex]p = \frac{123}{966} = 0.1273[/tex]

0.1273 = 12.73% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 12 noon to 6 P.M.

6 P.M. to 12 midnight

327 out of 966, so:

[tex]p = \frac{327}{966} = 0.3385[/tex]

0.3385 = 33.85% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 6 P.M. to 12 midnight.

12 midnight to 6 A.M.

245 out of 966. So

[tex]p = \frac{245}{966} = 0.2536[/tex]

0.2536 = 25.36% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 12 midnight to 6 A.M.

b. Do the probabilities add up to 1? Why should they?

0.2805 + 0.1273 + 0.3385 + 0.2536 = 1

They do, as the the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes should be 1, as is in this question.

c) Give values different from those in part (c) for which Q(x, y) has the same truth values as in part.

Answers

Answer:

a) Q(-2,1) is false

b) Q(-5,2) is false

c)Q(3,8) is true

d)Q(9,10) is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is [tex]Q(x,y)[/tex] is predicate that [tex]x<y[/tex] then [tex]x^{2} <y^{2}[/tex]. where [tex]x,y[/tex] are rational numbers.

a)

when [tex]x=-2, y=1[/tex]

Here [tex]-2<1[/tex] that is [tex]x<y[/tex]  satisfied. Then

[tex](-2)^{2}<1^{2}[/tex]

[tex]4<1[/tex] this is wrong. since [tex]4>1[/tex]

That is [tex]x^{2}[/tex][tex]>y^{2}[/tex] Thus [tex]Q(x,y)[/tex] [tex]=Q(-2,1)[/tex]is false.

b)

Assume [tex]Q(x,y)=Q(-5,2)[/tex].

That is [tex]x=-5, y=2[/tex]

Here [tex]-5<2[/tex] that is [tex]x<y[/tex] this condition is satisfied.

Then

[tex](-5)^{2}<2^{2}[/tex]

[tex]25<4[/tex] this is not true. since [tex]25>4[/tex].

This is similar to the truth value of part (a).

Since in both [tex]x<y[/tex] satisfied and [tex]x^{2} >y^{2}[/tex] for both the points.

c)

if [tex]Q(x,y)=Q(3,8)[/tex] that is [tex]x=3[/tex] and [tex]y=8[/tex]

Here [tex]3<8[/tex] this satisfies the condition [tex]x<y[/tex].

Then [tex]3^{2} <8^{2}[/tex]

[tex]9<64[/tex] This also satisfies the condition [tex]x^{2} <y^{2}[/tex].

Hence [tex]Q(3,8)[/tex] exists and it is true.

d)

Assume [tex]Q(x,y)=Q(9,10)[/tex]

Here [tex]9<10[/tex] satisfies the condition [tex]x<y[/tex]

Then [tex]9^{2}<10^{2}[/tex]

[tex]81<100[/tex] satisfies the condition [tex]x^{2} <y^{2}[/tex].

Thus, [tex]Q(9,10)[/tex] point exists and it is true. This satisfies the same values as in part (c)

Solve using the zero-factor proper (13x + 7)(6x - 7) = 0​

Answers

Answer:

x = -7/13 and x = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the zero factor property, set each factor equal to zero, and solve for x:

13x + 7 = 0

13x = -7

x = -7/13

Solve the other factor:

6x - 7 = 0

6x = 7

x = 7/6

So, the solutions are x = -7/13 and x = 7/6

Answer is x=7/13 and x7/6

Answer:

x = 6, y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

First we take the equations side by side and put them like this:

 6x + 2y = 16

+ 2x - 2y = 32

8x = 48

Then solve for x.

x = 6

Then insert x back into either equation

2(5) - 2y = 32

10 - 2y = 32

solve for y,

y = -10

find the measure of one interior angle in a regular 23-gon

Answers

Answer: A polygon with 23 sides has a total of 3780 degrees. total interior angles = (n - 2)180°, where n is the number of sides.

The measure of one interior angle of the given regular polygon with 23 sides is 164.3 degrees

How to calculate the sum of the interior angle of a regular polygon?

The formula which is used to calculate the sum of the angle of regular polygon is given by

sum of the interior angles = ( n - 2 ) × 180 degrees

Where,

n is the number of sides

According to the given question.

We have a regular polygon with 23 sides.

⇒ n = 23

Therefore,

The sum of the interior angles of the given regular polygon

= (23-2) × 180

= 3,780 degrees

So, the measure of one interior angle = [tex]\frac{3780}{23} = 164.3 degrees[/tex]

Hence, the measure of one interior angle of the given regular polygon with 23 sides is 164.3 degrees.

there are 750 spectator in the stadium of which 420 are women and the rest are men​

Answers

Complete Question:

There are 750 spectator in the stadium of which 420 are women and the rest are men. What percent of the spectators are women?

Answer:

Percentage = 56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Total number of people = 750

Number of women = 420

To find the percentage of women;

First of all, we would determine the number of male spectators (men);

Number of men = Total number of people - Number of women

Number of men = 750 - 420

Number of men = 330

Next, we find the percentage of women;

[tex] Percentage = \frac {420}{750} * 100 [/tex]

[tex] Percentage = \frac {42}{75} * 100 [/tex]

[tex] Percentage = 0.56 * 100 [/tex]

Percentage = 56%

Therefore, the percentage of the spectators that are women is 56%.

prove by factorization √16×81=√16×√81

Answers

Answer:

√16×81 = 4×9 or √1296 = 36

√16×√81 = 4×9 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

√81×16

We simplify 81 and 16 by prime factorisation (expressing a number as a product of its prime factors).

√81 = √3×3×3×3 = √9×9 = √9² = 9

√16 = √2×2×2×2 = √4×4 = √4² = 4

A sample proportion of 0.36 is found. To determine the margin of error for this statistic, a simulation of 100 trials is run, each with a sample size of 50 and a point estimate of 0.36.

The margin of error of the population proportion is found using half the range.


What is the interval estimate of the true population proportion?

(0.20,0.52)


(0.24,0.48)


(0.22,0.50)

Answers

Answer:

(0.30, 0.42)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample proportion is = 0.36

Number of trials required for determining the margin of the error = 100

Sample size, n = 50

The point estimate = 0.36

The minimum sample proportion form the simulation = 0.28

The maximum sample proportion from the simulation = 0.40

Also the margin of the error of population proportion is found by using the half of the range.

Therefore, the interval estimate for the true population proportion is = (0.30, 0.42)
