Overeating for just four weeks can increase fat mass and weight over two years later, a Swedish study shows.Researchers recruited 18 healthy and normal-weight people with an average age of 26. For a four-week period, participants increased calorie intake by (mostly by eating fast food) and limited daily activity to a maximum of 5000 steps per day (considered sedentary). Not surprisingly, weight and body fat of the participants went up significantly during the study and then decreased after the study ended. Participants are believed to have returned to the diet and lifestyle they had before the experiment. However, two and a half years after the experiment, the mean weight gain for participants was 6.8 lbs with a standard error of 1.2 lbs. A control group that did not binge had no change in weight.

Required:
a. Give a 95% confidence interval for parameter.
b. Give the margin of error.

Answer:

Esther made the right option which gives her maximum value at the end of 3 years than Vida and Clair.

Step-by-step explanation:

The life is all about making the right choices. Esther has made a decision to collect GH¢1000 now. To calculate future value of Esther choice at the end of 3 year we will use formula below,

FV = PV [tex](1 + r)^{t}[/tex]

discount factor at year 3 t 10% is 0.751

FV = 1000 (0.751) / (1.1)3

FV = GH¢2487.

Vidha choose to collect GH¢3000 at end of 3 year, the present value of GH¢3000 at 10% discount rate will be;

PV = FV [tex](1 + r)^{-t}[/tex]

PV = 3000 (0.751)

PV = GH¢2253.

Clair is indifferent from the choices given but this is also not a smart choice.

Esther has made the right choice among the three women and she gets maximum value of GH¢2487.

Answer:

a) [tex] P(X \geq 1) = 1-P(X<1) = 1-P(X=0)[/tex]

[tex]P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.99)^0 (1-0.99)^{9-0}=1x10^{-18}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(X \geq 1) =1 -1x10^{-18} \approx 1[/tex]

b) [tex]P(X=7)=(9C7)(0.99)^7 (1-0.99)^{9-7}=0.003355[/tex]

[tex]P(X=8)=(9C8)(0.99)^8 (1-0.99)^{9-8}=0.083047[/tex]

[tex]P(X=9)=(9C9)(0.99)^9 (1-0.99)^{9-9}=0.913517[/tex]

And adding we got:

[tex] P(X \geq 7) = 0.003355+0.083047+0.913517 =0.99992[/tex]

c) [tex] P(X \leq 8) =1 -P(X>8) = 1-P(X=9)[/tex]

[tex]P(X=9)=(9C9)(0.99)^9 (1-0.99)^{9-9}=0.913517[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(X \leq 8)= 1-0.913517=0.086483[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "numebr of times that an alarm is triggered", on this case we now that:

[tex]X \sim Binom(n=9, p=0.99)[/tex]

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]

Part a

We want to find this probability:

[tex] P(X \geq 1) = 1-P(X<1) = 1-P(X=0)[/tex]

[tex]P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.99)^0 (1-0.99)^{9-0}=1x10^{-18}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(X \geq 1) =1 -1x10^{-18} \approx 1[/tex]

Part b

[tex] P(X \geq 7)= P(X=7) +P(X=8)+ P(X=9) [/tex]

[tex]P(X=7)=(9C7)(0.99)^7 (1-0.99)^{9-7}=0.003355[/tex]

[tex]P(X=8)=(9C8)(0.99)^8 (1-0.99)^{9-8}=0.083047[/tex]

[tex]P(X=9)=(9C9)(0.99)^9 (1-0.99)^{9-9}=0.913517[/tex]

And adding we got:

[tex] P(X \geq 7) = 0.003355+0.083047+0.913517 =0.99992[/tex]

Part c

[tex] P(X \leq 8) =1 -P(X>8) = 1-P(X=9)[/tex]

[tex]P(X=9)=(9C9)(0.99)^9 (1-0.99)^{9-9}=0.913517[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(X \leq 8)= 1-0.913517=0.086483[/tex]

Probability of getting both tails and a four simultaneously is = 1/2×1/6=1/12.

hope this helped!

Please mark as Brainliest!

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of get a 4 in a die is 1/6 because a die has the following numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 ; we see each number occurs just once hence; 1/6 is the probability.

The probability of getting a tail is 1/2 because there are one tail and one head in a 2 side face coin.

Hence getting a tail and a four is ;

1/6 × 1/2 = 1/12

Answer:

Since there is no change in the height value over that time, the slope is 0

Answer:

4: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we have that there is a relationship between width and height, which is 16: 9, which means that any screen that has the same ratio would be an identical screen.

How would we do this? it must either be raised to a power or rationalized on both sides of the ratio.

If we raise to a power, it would give very large dimensions for an HDTV, therefore, it is best to remove the square root on both sides, since it has more common values for a TV.

[tex]\sqrt{16} :\sqrt{9}[/tex]

4: 3

Therefore, a 4: 3 screen is a good choice for an HDTV with the same ratio.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would determine the volume of the

pyramid-like paperweight. Formula for volume is expressed as

Volume = mass/density

From the information given,

mass = 400g

Density = 1.61g/cm³

Volume = 400/1.61 = 248.45cm³

The formula for determining the volume of a pyramid us expressed as

Volume = 1/3 × base area × height

From the information given,

Base area = 120 cm²

Volume = 248.45cm³

Therefore,

248.45 = 1/3 × 120 × height

248.45 = 40 × height

height = 248.45/40 = 6.2 cm

Answer:

a) 72

b) 9

c) 9

d) 54

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 12 * 6 = 72

b) 3 * 6 = 18. 18 ÷ 2 = 9

c) 3 * 6 = 18. 18 ÷ 2 = 9

d) 72 - 18 = 54

Answer:

13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, you can use the formula to calculate the volume of a cone and isolate the height:

V= πr^2[tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

V= volume= 218 cubic centimeters

π= 3.14

r= radius= 4 cm

h=height

218= 3.14*4^2*[tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

218*3=3.14*16*h

654=50.24*h

h=654/50.24

h=13

According to this, the height of the container is 13 cm.

Answer: 59

Step-by-step explanation:

On 15th day Kyle will do 59 crunches.

An equation is a statement that consists of algebraic expressions equated with other algebraic expressions by an equal sign.

The crunches Kyle did on Day 1 are 3

The rate by which he is increasing per day is 4 crunches/per day

let t represent the number of days

Let the number of crunches on t day be y

Then the equation formed will be

y = 3 + 4(t-1)

On 15th day, he will do

y = 3+ (15-1) *4

y = 3+56

y = 59

Therefore, on 15th day Kyle will do 59 crunches.

This, polynomial has order 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial

P(x) = 3 – 2x2 + 5x5 – 7x7

[tex]P(x) = 3 - 2x^2+ 5x^5 - 7x^7[/tex]

Order for any polynomial is highest exponential value for variables . The exponent for polynomial is also called as degree.

Hence in terms of degree, the term in polynomial which has  the highest degree . That degree is the order of the polynomial.

For example ,

in [tex]x^5 + x^8 + x^9[/tex]

here we see that variable x has highest power of 9. Thus, order of the given equation is 9.

Similarly for the polynomial given we see that

in the polynomial [tex]P(x) = 3 - 2x^2+ 5x^5 - 7x^7[/tex]

x has three power 2, 5 and 7 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's plug in -2 for x.

8 - 2 (-2) <12

8 + 4 < 12

12 < 12

Since this is a false statement, -2 is not a solution to the inequality.

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: To determine whether x = -2 is a solution to the inequality, substitute a -2 in for r.

So we have 8 - 2(-2) < 12.

Notice that I used parentheses.

This is a great habit to get into when

substituting numbers in for variables.

So we have 8 - (-4) which can be changed to 8 + (+4) or +12.

Since 12 is not less than 12, -2 is not a solution.

Answer: A=12, B=2, C=11

Step-by-step explanation:

With the given problem, you would first expand the numerator.

[tex]\frac{x^1^5y^3z^1^2}{x^3yz}[/tex]. Then you can simply from there. You can subtract the exponents. [tex]x^1^2y^2x^1^1[/tex]

The first two pieces are the same, let each of those equal x, so you have x + x = 2x

The 3rd piece is the sum of the first two + 4, so this would be 2x + 4

Now you have 2x + 2x + 4 = 100 cm

Combine like terms:

4x +4 = 100

Subtract 4 from both sides

4x = 96

Divide both sides by 4

X = 24

First piece is 24 cm

Second piece is 24 cm

Third piece is 52 cm

Answer: 10 questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The optimal aproach would be divide the total range in half, for example, she can ask:

Is the number equal or greater than 500?

if he answers no, now she knows that the numer is in the range 1 to 499

if he says yes, she can know that the number is in the range 500 to 1000.

Now, suppose that the answer is yes.

Now she can ask if the number is equal or greater than 750.

Now we have two possible sets. (500, 749) and (750 , 1000).

Now we can divide those sets again, depending on the answer.

suppose we got the set of (750, 1000)

we can divide it into two sets and so on.

So, we have 999 options and we want to divide it by 2 until we reach to 1., the number of divisions by 2 is the number of times that she asked a question.

999/2^n ≤ 1.

we must find the smaller n that keeps the above inequality true.

999 ≤ 2^n

knowing that 2^10 = 1024.

999/1024 = 1024

So in the worst case, she should ask 10 questions.
