how can you apply statistics in your everyday life?​

Using the normal distribution, there is a 0.6826 = 68.26% probability that the sample mean will be within 2 points of the population mean.

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]

For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

[tex]\mu = 40, \sigma = 8, n = 16, s = \frac{8}{\sqrt{16}} = 2[/tex]

The probability that the sample mean will be within 2 points of the population mean is the p-value of Z when X = 40 + 2 = 42 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 40 - 2 = 38, hence:

X = 42:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = (42 - 40)/2

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a p-value of 0.8413.

X = 38:

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

Z = (38 - 40)/2

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a p-value of 0.1587.

0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826 = 68.26% probability that the sample mean will be within 2 points of the population mean.

The median is the middle value of an ascending sequence of numbers.

As there is an even number of values the median is the mean of the 2 middle ones:

So here it is (96 + 98) / 2

= 97.

Answer: the answer is c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 95 percent confidence interval for the mean is (266.76,426.24).

A confidence interval is how much uncertainty there is with any particular statistic. Confidence intervals are often used with a margin of error. It tells you how confident you can be that the results from a poll or survey reflect what you would expect to find if it were possible to survey the entire population. Confidence intervals are intrinsically connected to confidence levels.

The formula of Confidence Interval =  Mean ±   [tex]t\frac{Standard Deviation}{\sqrt{number of observations} }[/tex]

where t is a constant

Given:

Mean = 346.5

Standard Deviation = 170.378

t-critical value for 95% Confidence interval with degrees of freedom(df)=n-1= 19 is 2.093

∴ Substituting values in formula we get

E = [tex]2.093 X170.378/\sqrt{20}[/tex] = 2.0931.96 x 38.0976=79.74

The inverse of the function f(x)= 2x/7 + 4 is y = 7x/2 - 14.

Given the function; f(x)= 2x/7 + 4

First. we write the function as an equation then interchange the variables.

y = 2x/7 + 4

x = 2y/7 + 4

We solve for y.

2y/7 = x - 4

2y = 7x - 28

y = 7x/2 - 28/2

y = 7x/2 - 14

For Part A the probability is 0.0095 and for Part B the probability is

Probability of defect is perhaps the most important indicator of a manufacturing process's quality. It's a statistical technique used to indicate how often a product will fail during its lifespan, which in turn allows you to estimate the likelihood that an item will result in customer dissatisfaction.

Part A:

The number of rivets=22 rivets

Probability that no rivet is defective= [tex](1-p)^{22}[/tex]

The probability that at least one rivet is defective=1-[tex](1-p)^{22}[/tex]

For 19% of all seams need reworking, probability that a rivet is defective is given by

1-[tex](1-p)^{22}[/tex] = 0.19

[tex](1-p)^{22} = 1-0.19\\(1-p)^{22} = 0.81\\ p=1-\sqrt[22]{0.81} \\p=0.0095[/tex]

Part B:

For 9% of all seams need reworking, probability of a defective rivet is:

1-[tex](1-p)^{22}[/tex] = 0.09

[tex](1-p)^{22} = 1-0.09\\(1-p)^{22} = 0.91\\ p=1-\sqrt[22]{0.91} \\p=0.0043[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{15}{2} }[/tex] or 2.738

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s just look at the triangle on the top with the [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex] on the top and x on the bottom. (Basically the top half to the equilateral triangle)

There is a small square in the bottom right corner, which indicates that this triangle is a right triangle. This means that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem: [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]

We know that \sqrt{10} is our hypotenuse, and therefore our c in our equation. Let’s say that x=a in our equation. Therefore we are left to find b. However, b is half the length of the side of the original equilateral triangle. An equilateral triangle means that all three sides are the same length. Therefore our side would also be \sqrt{10} units long. However we know that b is half of that value, so b=[tex]\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{10})[/tex] or [tex]\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2}[/tex]

Plugging these values into the equation:

x^2+ (\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2})^{2}=\sqrt{10} ^{2}

[tex]x^{2}=\sqrt{10} ^{2}-\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2} ^{2}[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} =10-\frac{10}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} =\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\sqrt{\frac{15}{2} }[/tex]

This approximately equals 2.738

Answer:

[tex]x=\sqrt{\frac{15}{2} }[/tex]. Another form of this answer is [tex]x=\frac{\sqrt{15} }{\sqrt{2} }[/tex](it's the same thing)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the triangle is equilateral, all other sides of the triangle are also [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex]. Also, x is the altitude of this triangle as it forms a right angle with the base and is therefore perpendicular. We know that this triangle is equilateral and in any triangle that has at least two sides that are equal(in other words isosceles), the altitude is also the median and angle bisector. A median would cut the side it reaches into half. So, x would cut the base into two equal parts. Since the base is [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex], divide it by two and both halves are [tex]\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}[/tex]. What we are left with is two right triangles, both with legs [tex]\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2}[/tex] and x. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we know that [tex]a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}[/tex], with [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] being the legs and [tex]c[/tex] being the hypotenuse. So, we plug in the values and get [tex]\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2} ^{2}[/tex][tex]+x^{2}=\sqrt{10}^{2}[/tex]. Squaring, we get [tex]\frac{10}{4}+x^{2}=10[/tex]. This becomes [tex]x^{2}=10-\frac{10}{4}[/tex] which equals [tex]x^{2}=\frac{40}{4}-\frac{10}{4}[/tex]. Finally, [tex]x^{2}=\frac{30}{4}[/tex]. This is [tex]x^{2}=\frac{15}{2}[/tex]. Square rooting this we get [tex]x=\sqrt{\frac{15}{2} }[/tex]. Another form of this answer is [tex]x=\frac{\sqrt{15} }{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

Average speed of Alishia is 19 kilometers per hour

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance that something has traveled by the total amount of time it took it to travel that distance. Speed is how fast something is going at a particular moment. Average speed measures the average rate of speed over the extent of a trip

Given :

Distance = 45.3 km

Time taken = 143 minutes = 143/60 =2.384 hours

∴ Average speed = 45.3/2.384 = 19 kilometers per hour

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation tells us the dispersion of data/scores around the mean.

We can say that the standard deviation tells us the dispersion of the scores, making option D the correct choice.

A standard deviation (or σ) is a measure of how widely distributed the data is about the mean (μ). A low standard deviation suggests that data is grouped around the mean, whereas a large standard deviation shows that data is more spread out. A standard deviation around 0 suggests that data points are close to the mean, whereas a high or low standard deviation indicates that data points are above or below the mean, respectively.

We use the following formula to compute the standard deviation:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt\frac{{\sum_{i=1}^{N}\left | x_i - \mu \right | }^2}{N}[/tex]

In this formula, σ is the standard deviation, [tex]x_i[/tex] is the data point in the set we are solving for, μ is the mean, and N is the total number of data points.

In the question, we are asked to tell what standard deviations tell us from the given options.
