Question: Scott made a casserole for dinner he gave equal portions of 1/2 the casserole to 3 friends what diagram could scott use to find the fraction of the whole casserole that each friend got?
Step-by-step explanation:
Find attached the diagram Scott used to find the portion each friend got.
The shaded part indicate the portion of the casserole.
When Scott prepared the dinner = 1 portion of casserole
He shared 1/2 the portion to 3 of his friends:
Divide the diagram of the full portion into 2 to get ½ of the casserole
1/2 of the casserole = ½ × 1 portion = ½ portion
Each of his 3 friends would have equal portions = ⅓ of the ½ portion
The diagram of the ½ portion would be divided into 3 equal part
In terms of calculation = ½ × ⅓
= 1/6
Each of his friends would have 1/6 portion of the casserole.

Solution
The attached image to the question is presented in the attached image to this Solution.
Symmetry is a concept where a figure/shape has half of its part being a mirror image of the other part.
About the line or axis of symmetry, the structure or figure can be rotated at right angles or whole number multiples of right angles and the resulting structure is still the same as the one we started with.
Of the 4 drawings, only drawing D satisfies this conditions/criteria. And Hence, it is the only drawing amongst the four with an axis of symmetry.

Find the value of x and y in the parallelogram below.
Answers
Answer:
x=4 and y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
A diagonal of a parallelogram cuts the other diagonal in exactly 2 equal parts. So, we can say that x+12 = 16. That would give us x=4. And, we can say that 3y-14 = 22. If we solve for y, we get y = 12.
Marine scientists categorize signature whistles of bottlenose dolphins by typelong dash—type a, type b, type c, etc. In one study of a sample of 185 whistles emitted from bottlenose dolphins in captivity, 100100 were categorized as type a whistles. a. Estimate the true proportion of bottlenose dolphin signature whistles that are type a whistles. Use a 9595% confidence interval.
Answers
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of bottlenose dolphin signature whistles that are type a whistles is (0.4687, 0.6123).
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
For this problem, we have that:
[tex]n = 185, \pi = \frac{100}{185} = 0.5405[/tex]
95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5405 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5405*0.4595}{185}} = 0.4687[/tex]
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5405 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5405*0.4595}{185}} = 0.6123[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of bottlenose dolphin signature whistles that are type a whistles is (0.4687, 0.6123).

Answers
We know that imaginary roots always come in pairs, so we already know 4 solutions
-2, 2, 4 + i and a pair of 4 + i
Since imaginary roots always come in pairs we wont have more than 2 imaginary roots, since its a fifth degree root and we can only have 5 roots
So for sure, we will have 3 real roots and 2 imaginary roots

c) If we only need to be 99% confident, will the margin of error be larger or smaller?
i) A 99% confidence interval requires a smaller margin of error. A wider interval leads to decreased confidence.
ii) A 99% confidence interval requires a larger margin of error. In order to increase confidence, the interval must be narrower.
iii) A 99% confidence interval requires a smaller margin of error. A narrower interval leads to decreased confidence.
iv) A 99% confidence interval requires a larger margin of error. In order to increase confidence, the interval must be wider.
d) Find that margin of error.
ME = ___ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
e) In general, if all other aspects of the situation remain the same, would smaller samples produce smaller or larger margins of error?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval is written as
Sample proportion ± margin of error
a) Margin of error = z × √pq/n
Where
z represents the z score corresponding to the confidence level
p = sample proportion. It also means probability of success
q = probability of failure
q = 1 - p
p = x/n
Where
n represents the number of samples
x represents the number of success
From the information given,
n = 1043
p = 14% = 14/100 = 0.14
q = 1 - 0.14 = 0.86
To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α
α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025
This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes
1 - 0.025 = 0.975
The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 1.96. Thus, the z score for a confidence level of 95% is 1.96
Therefore, margin of error is 1.96√(0.14)(0.86)/1043
Margin of error = 0.021
b) i) The pollsters are 95% confident that the margin of error contains the true proportion of adults who approve of attempts to clone a human.
c) iv) A 99% confidence interval requires a larger margin of error. In order to increase confidence, the interval must be wider.
d) The z score for 99% confidence interval is 2.58
margin of error is 2.58√(0.14)(0.86)/1043
Margin of error = 0.028
e) smaller samples would produce smaller margins of error.

Suppose that we want to estimate the mean reading speed of second graders. The random sample of students' reading speeds we choose has a mean of 31.6 words per minute and a standard deviation of 2.4 words per minute. For each of the following sampling scenarios, determine which test statistic is appropriate to use when making inference statements about the population mean. (In the table, Z refers to a variable having a standard normal distribution, and t refers to a variable having a t distribution.) Sampling Scenario could use either Zort unclear (1) The sample has size 100, and it is from a non-normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 2.6. (2) The sample has size 75, and it is from a non-normally distributed population. (3) The sample has size 12, and it is from a population with a distribution about which we know very little. (4) The sample has size 14, and it is from a normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 2.6. (5) The sample has size 16, and it is from a normally distributed population with unknown standard deviation.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Given the variable
X: reading speed of a second-grader. (words per minute)
From a random sample of second-grader the mean and standard deviation were:
X[bar]= 31.6 words per minute
S= 2.4 words per minute
To study the population mean (μ) you have the following sampling scenarios and need to choose the correct statistic.
Sampling scenarios:
(1) The sample has size 100, and it is from a non-normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 2.6.
For this scenario you have to remember the Central Limit Theorem. The variable of study has a non-normal distribution but the sample is large enough (As a rule, a sample of size greater than or equal to 30 is considered sufficient to apply the theorem and use the approximation) you can approximate the distribution of the sample mean to normal: X[bar]≈N(μ;σ²/n); Then it is valid to use an approximation to the standard normal distribution to make inference statements about the population mean.
Statistic: Z
(2) The sample has size 75, and it is from a non-normally distributed population.
Same explanation as the statement before, except that the population variance is unknown. Since the distribution is already an approximation you can use its estimation (sample variance) for the statistic. (It would be less accurate than using the population variance but still valid)
Statistic: Z
(3) The sample has size 12, and it is from a population with a distribution about which we know very little.
To use a student's t the population needs to have a normal distribution, which is not the case, same goes for the standard normal.
To apply the central Limit Theorem you need a sample size equal or greater to 30, this is not the case.
For this sampling example neither distribution is applicable.
(4) The sample has size 14, and it is from a normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 2.6.
The population has a normal distribution and the population standard deviation is known. The sample size is rather small but it isn't an impediment to apply the standard normal distribution. Also, even tough the population standard deviation is known, a student t is also applicable. In this case both statistics are a viable option.
Statistic: Z or t
(5) The sample has size 16, and it is from a normally distributed population with unknown standard deviation.
The population has a normal distribution, with unknown population standard deviation and the sample size is rather small. You can use a Student t to infer over the population mean.
Statistic: t

A chicken weighs t lbs. It needs to be cooked for 20 minutes per lb plus an extra 15 minutes. What is the total cooking time? Is this the correct written expression: 15t + 20? Why or why not?
Answers
Answer:
Total cooking time = 20t + 15
The expression 15t + 20 is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
weight of chicken = t lbs
cook time per lb = 20 minutes
This means that:
1 lb weight requires a cooking time of 20 minutes
1 lb = 20 minutes
∴ t lbs = 20 × t = 20t minutes.
We were also told that each chicken required an extra cooking time of 15 minutes, in addition to the total cooking time due to the weight. Therefore, the total cooking time is calculated thus:
Total cooking time = cooking time due to weight + 15 minutes
Total cooking time = 20t + 15
Hence the expression 15t + 20 is wrong, due to the explanation given above.

The area of one small circle is 4
The area of one small circle will be one-half of the area of the large circle.
The total area of the two small circles will equal that of the large circle
The total area of the two small circles will be one-half of the area of the large circle
Answers
Answer:
The area of the large circle is 16π
The area of one small circle is 4π
The total area of the two small circles will be one-half of the area of the large circle
Step by step explanation:
Area if circle = πr²
area of one large circle with a diameter of 8:
r = diameter/2 = 8/2 = 4
Area = π×4² = 16π
total area of 2 smaller diameter one-half that of the large circle.
Area = πr²
Diameter of small circle = 1/2(bigger circle diameter)
Diameter = 8/2 = 4
radius = 4/2 = 2
Area of one small circle = π×(2)² = 4π
Total Area of Two smaller circles= 2(4π) = 8π
Area of two smaller circle = 1/2(area of bigger circle) = 1/2(16π) 8π
Therefore, based on the answer:
The area of the large circle is 16π
The area of one small circle is 4π
The total area of the two small circles will be one-half of the area of the large circle
Answer:
The area of the large circle is 16 pi.
The area of one small circle is 4 pi.
The total area of the two small circles will be one-half of the area of the large circle.

Employees from Company A and Company B both receive annual bonuses. What information would you need to test the claim that the difference in annual bonuses is greater than $100 at the 0.05 level of significance? Write out the hypothesis and explain the testing procedure.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a test of the mean difference between 2 independent groups or populations.
Let μ1 be the mean annual bonus of Company A's employees and μ2 be the mean annual bonus of Company B's employees.
The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean annual bonus of Company A's employees and the mean annual bonus of Company B's employees
We would set up the hypothesis.
The null hypothesis is
H0 : μ1 ≤ μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 ≤ 100
The alternative hypothesis is
H1 : μ1 > μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 > 100
This is a right tailed test because of the inequality sign at the alternative hypothesis. We need to take samples of annual bonuses from both company's employees and find the averages. Then we would determine the test statistic as well as the p value. We would use the p value with the level of significance to make decisions
The pitcher releases the ball at the highest point in the curve, and the catcher is located at the y-axis. According to the table, how high is the ball when it reaches the catcher?
Answers
Answer: 2.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, we know that the catcher is located in the y-axis.
As you know, the y-axis cuts the x-axis at x = 0, so the catcher is located at x = 0.
To see the heigth of the ball at x = 0 we can see the table, where we can see that when x = 0, f(x) = 2.5 ft
Then the correct option is the second one, 2.5 ft.
Answer:
The answer is A. 2.5
The first option
Step-by-step explanation:
If we look at the question you'll see this phrase "X represents the horizontal distance the ball travels in feet" and "f(x) represents the height of the ball in feet."
The question is "The pitcher releases the ball at the highest point in the curve, and the catcher is located at the y-axis. According to the table, how high is the ball when it reaches the catcher?" the underlined words are your clue.
When the graph hit zero, its hit its mark "The catcher" it REACHES the catcher.
so, alas, the answer is 2.5 ft

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].
So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.96[/tex]
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population(square root of the variance) and n is the size of the sample.
What is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the population mean
36 students, so [tex]n = 36[/tex]
Variance of 10.24, so [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{10.24} = 3.2[/tex]
[tex]M = 1.96*\frac{3.2}{\sqrt{36}} = 1.05[/tex]
The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the population mean is of 1.05 years.
