The coach of a college basketball team records the resting pulse rates of the team's players. A confidence interval for the mean

resting pulse rate of all collegians based on these data is of little use because __________.
A) the sample size is small, so the margin of error will be large.
B) the members of the basketball team can't be considered a random sample from the entire collegiate population.
C) many of the students on the team may refuse to respond.
D) the coach has sampled the entire population so there is no need for inference.

Answer:

B) members of the basketball team do not represent a random sample of the entire collegiate population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coach aims to estimate a parameter of the broader population (the average resting pulse rates of all college students) using a statistic from a sample (the average resting pulse rate of the basketball players).

The confidence interval for this parameter is not useful since the sample of basketball team players lacks representation of the general collegiate population, making it non-random. Consequently, the parameter estimation will be biased.

Below is a probability distribution for the number of failures in an elementary statistics course. X 0 1 2 3 4 P(X=x) 0.41 0.18
AnnZ [11925]

Answer:

a) P(X=2)= 0.29

b) P(X<2)= 0.59

c) P(X≤2)= 0.88

d) P(X>2)= 0.12

e) P(X=1 or X=4)= 0.24

f) P(1≤X≤4)= 0.59

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To find P(X=2), we calculate: P(X=2)= 1 - P(X=0) - P(X=1) - P(X=3) - P(X=4) which equals 1 - 0.41 - 0.18 - 0.06 - 0.06, resulting in 0.29

b) For P(X<2), we sum P(X=0) and P(X=1): 0.41 + 0.18 yields 0.59

c) To obtain P(X≤2), we add P(X=0), P(X=1), and P(X=2): 0.41 + 0.18 + 0.29 equals 0.88

d) To calculate P(X>2), we find P(X=3) + P(X=4): 0.06 + 0.06 gives us 0.12

e) For P(X=1 or X=4), we use the union of probabilities: P(X=1) + P(X=4) which is 0.18 + 0.06, resulting in 0.24

f) P(1≤X≤4) is found by adding P(X=1), P(X=2), P(X=3), and P(X=4): 0.18 + 0.29 + 0.06 + 0.06 results in 0.59

A survey asked students whether they have any siblings and pets. the survey data are shown in the relative frequency table.
PIT_PIT [11929]

Response:

The probability that a student has a pet, given they do not have any siblings is:

Option: D ( 60%)

Step-by-step breakdown:

Let A represent the situation where a student lacks a sibling.

Let B signify the occurrence that a student has a pet.

Consequently, A∩B refers to the event in which a student is without siblings but possesses a pet.

Let P denote the chance of an event happening.

We need to determine:

P(B|A)

From our knowledge:

P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(A)}

From the data provided:

P(A)=0.25

and P(A∩B)=0.15

Thus,

P(B|A)=\dfrac{0.15}{0.25}\\\\P(B|A)=\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\P(B|A)=0.6

which expressed as a percentage is:

0.6\times 100=60\%

Therefore, the probability is:

60%

What is the product? (5r − 4)(r2 − 6r + 4)
Zina [11999]
(5r - 4)(r² - 6r + 4)

uses the distributive property for multiplication.

This expands to 5r(r² - 6r + 4) - 4(r² - 6r + 4)
which results in 5r³ - 30r² + 20r - 4r² + 24r - 16

as you combine like terms and simplify.

The outcome is 5r³ - 30r² - 4r² + 20r + 24r - 16

leading to a final expression of 5r³ - 34r² + 44r - 16. Choice A.

What integer is equivalent to 25 3/2
PIT_PIT [11929]
<span><span>Response
26 1/2 does not correspond to an integer but can be rounded to 27, which is an integer.

Clarification
An integer comprises whole numbers only. It does not include fractions.
253/2=25+3/2=25+1 1/2=26 1/2
