Is there a relationship between science club membership and recycling habits?
Statistics students took a simple random sample of 100 students at their large high school in order to find out. 90% of the students in the survey reported that they recycle on a regular basis. Of the 54% of the students in the sample who were members of the science club, approximately 94.4% responded that they recycle on a regular basis.
Is science club membership independent from recycling habits in this sample?


answer is no

Answers

Answer 1

Science club membership and recycling habits is 0.511.

Science club membership independent from recycling habits is 0.486.

P(A and B) is not equal to P(A) x P(B), we can conclude that science club membership is dependent on recycling habits in this sample.

Independence between two variables, we compare their joint probability to the product of their individual probabilities.

If the joint probability equals the product of the individual probabilities, then the variables are independent, but if they are not equal, then the variables are dependent.

P(A) x P(B) = 0.54 x 0.90 = 0.486.

Let A be the event that a student is a member of the science club and B be the event that a student recycles on a regular basis.

Given that 90% of the students in the sample recycle on a regular basis, we can say that P(B) = 0.90.

Also, given that 54% of the students in the sample were members of the science club and 94.4% of those students recycle on a regular basis, we can say that P(A and B) = 0.54 x 0.944

= 0.511.

If A and B are independent, then P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B).

But, in this case, we have:

P(A) = 0.54

P(B) = 0.90

P(A and B) = 0.511

P(A) x P(B) = 0.54 x 0.90 = 0.486.

The science club are more likely to recycle on a regular basis than those who are not members of the science club.

The linear inequality of the graph is: -x + 2y + 1 > 0

How to determine the linear inequality?

First, we calculate the slope of the dashed line using:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

Two points on the graph are:

(1, 0) and (3, 1)

The slope (m) is:

[tex]m = \frac{1 - 0}{3 - 1}[/tex]

This gives

m = 0.5

The equation of the line is calculated as:

[tex]y = m(x -x_1) + y_1[/tex]

So, we have;

[tex]y = 0.5(x -1) + 0[/tex]

This gives

[tex]y = 0.5x -0.5[/tex]

Multiply through by 2

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

Now, we convert the equation to an inequality.

The line on the graph is a dashed line. This means that the inequality is either > or <.

Also, the upper region of the graph that is shaded means that the inequality  is >.

So, the equation becomes

2y > x - 1

Rewrite as:

-x + 2y + 1 > 0

So, the linear inequality is: -x + 2y + 1 > 0

If a school opens at 10 am and closes at 3.30pm. if the lunch interval is of 30 minutes, find the ratio of lunch interval to the total times of class periods.

Answers

The ratio of lunch interval to the total times of class periods is 1:10

Given that timing of school opens is 10am , the timing of school closes is 3:30pm and the lunch interval is 30 minutes

We need to find the ratio of lunch interval to the total times of class periods.

Now,

Timing of a school(10.a.mto3.30p.m)=5hours30minutes

Timing for lunch interval=30minutes

Total time of the class periods=5hours30minutes−30minutes

=5hours

=60×5=300 minutes.

Ratio of lunch interval to total time of the class period=30minutes:300 minutes=1:10

The distribution of results from a cholesterol test has a mean of 180 and a standard deviation of 20. A sample size of 40 is drawn randomly. Find the probability that the sum of the 40 values is less than 7,100. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Using the normal distribution, there is a 0.2148 = 21.48% probability that the sum of the 40 values is less than 7,100.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For this problem, these parameters are given as follows:

[tex]\mu = 180, \sigma = 20, n = 40, s = \frac{20}{\sqrt{40}} = 3.1623[/tex]

A sum of 7100 is equivalent to a sample mean of 7100/40 = 177.5, which means that the probability is the p-value of Z when X = 177.5, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{177.5 - 180}{3.1623}[/tex]

Z = -0.79

Z = -0.79 has a p-value of 0.2148.

There is a 0.2148 = 21.48% probability that the sum of the 40 values is less than 7,100.

Proportionate Stratified Sample

A proportionate stratified sample is one in which the size of the strata in the sample is proportional to the size of the strata in the population; in other words, the chance of selecting a unit from a stratum depends on the relative size of that stratum in the population.

Calculating the Proportionate Stratified Sample

The given percentage of -

Whites = 60%

Latinos = 20%

Blacks = 5%

The difference in length of a spring on a pogo stick from its non-compressed length when a teenager is jumping on it after θ seconds can be described by the function f of theta equals 2 times cosine theta plus radical 3.

Part A: Determine all values where the pogo stick's spring will be equal to its non-compressed length.

Part B: If the angle was doubled, that is θ became 2θ, what are the solutions in the interval [0, 2π)? How do these compare to the original function?

Part C: A toddler is jumping on another pogo stick whose length of their spring can be represented by the function g of theta equals 1 minus sine squared theta plus radical 3 period At what times are the springs from the original pogo stick and the toddler's pogo stick lengths equal?

Answers

The given function for the difference in length is presented as follows;

[tex]f( \theta) = 2 \cdot cos( \theta) + \sqrt{3} [/tex]

When the pogo stick will be equal to its non compressed length, the difference is zero, therefore;

[tex]f( \theta) = 2 \cdot cos( \theta) + \sqrt{3} = 0[/tex]

[tex] 2 \cdot cos( \theta) = - \sqrt{3} [/tex]

[tex]\theta= arccos \left( \frac{ - \sqrt{3} }{2} \right) [/tex]

Which gives;

[tex] \theta = \frac{12 \cdot \pi \cdot n1 + 5\cdot \pi}{6} [/tex]

[tex] \theta = -\frac{12 \cdot \pi \cdot n1 + 5\cdot \pi}{6} [/tex]

Part B; If the angle was doubled, we have;

[tex]f( \theta) = 2 \cdot cos(2 \cdot \theta) + \sqrt{3} = 0[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex] 2 \cdot cos(2 \cdot \theta) = - \sqrt{3} [/tex]

Which gives;

[tex] \theta = \frac{12 \cdot \pi \cdot n1 + 5\cdot \pi}{12} [/tex]

[tex] \theta = -\frac{12 \cdot \pi \cdot n1 + 5\cdot \pi}{12} [/tex]

Between 0 and 2•π, we have;

[tex] \theta = \frac{5\cdot \pi}{12} [/tex]

Part C;

The toddler's pogo stick is presented as follows;

[tex]g( \theta) = 1- son^2( \theta) + \sqrt{3} [/tex]

Integrating the original function between 0 and theta gives;

[tex]2 \cdot sin( \theta) + \sqrt{3}\cdot \theta [/tex]

Chocolate costing $\$10$ per pound is mixed with nuts costing $\$4$ per pound to make a mixture costing $\$6$ per pound. What fraction of the mixture's weight is chocolate

Answers

1/3 portion of the mixture, costing $\$6$ contains chocolate.

Calculation of the weight of the chocolate in the mixture:

Assume that, in a mixture:

chocolate = x pound

nuts = y pound

mixture= x+y

The desired value is found by dividing the weight of the chocolate by the overall weight, or x/(x+y).

From the given data,

cost of x pound chocolate at $\$10$per pound = 10x

cost of y pound nuts at $\$4$ per pound = 4y

cost of x+y pound mixture at $\$6$ = 6(x+y)

As per condition,

10x + 4y = 6(x+y)

⇒10x + 4y = 6x+ 6y

⇒4x = 2y

⇒y = 2x

The fraction of the chocolate in the mixture is

[tex]x/(x+y)[/tex] = [tex]x/(x+2x)[/tex] = [tex]x/3x[/tex] = 1/3

Answers

The value of λ in the vector is 0.2

What are vectors?

Vectors are the opposite of scalar quantities and they are quantities that have directions and magnitude

How to determine the value of λ?

The vector a is given as:

a = (−6, 8)

The magnitude of vector a is calculated using

|a| = √(x^2 + y^2)

So, the equation becomes

|a| = √((-6)^2 + 8^2)

Evaluate the exponent

|a| = √(36 + 64)

Evaluate the sum

|a| = √100

Take the square root of both sides

|a| = 10

Given that

λa = 5

This means that

λ * 10 = 5

Divide both sides by 10

λ = 0.2

Hence, the value of λ is 0.2

The dimensions of the rectangle are: length= 18 in and width =1 in.

Quadrilaterals

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.  Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle,  the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The area of a rectangle can be found for the formula : l*w, where b = length and w =width. The question gives that the area is 18 in².

For this question, the length exceeds its width by 17 inches - l=w+17. Thus,  from the value of area given, you can find the values of the length and width of the rectangle.

A=l*w

18=(w+17)*w

18=w²+17w

w²+17w-18=0

Next step will be solve the previous equation ( W²+17W-18=0)

[tex]w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-18\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\ \\ w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \:19}{2\cdot \:1}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]w_1=\frac{-17+19}{2\cdot \:1}=1\\ \\ \\ w_2=\frac{-17-19}{2\cdot \:1}=-18[/tex]

For dimensions, only positive numbers must be used. Then, the width is equal to 1 inch.

As, the area (l*w) is 18 in², you have.

18=l*w

18=l*1

l=18 in
