Of all individual tax returns, 37 percent include errors made by the taxpayer. If IRS examiners are assigned randomly selected r

eturns in batches of 12, find the mean and standard deviation for the number of erroneous returns per batch.

The mean is 4.44 and the standard deviation is 1.67. Step-by-step explanation: To derive the mean and standard deviation for the number of erroneous returns per batch, we use binomial distribution due to the following reasons: i) There are two possible outcomes (error or no error) classifiable as success and failure. ii) The experiment occurs a fixed number of times, specifically 12. iii) The probability of success is constant at each trial, which is 37%. iv) The trials are independent. The mean and standard deviation of binomial distribution are derived as np and √npq, respectively. Here, n=12, p=0.37, and q=1-0.37=0.63. Thus, the calculations yield a mean of 12*0.37=4.44 and a standard deviation of √(12*0.37*0.63)=√2.8=1.67.

The formula F=9/5(k-273.15)+32 converts a temperature from kelvin K to degrees Fahrenheit F.
Svet_ta [12734]

Step One

Deduct 32 from both sides.

F - 32 = \frac{9}{5}(k - 273.15)

Step Two

Multiply each side by \frac{5}{9}.

\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) = \frac{5}{9} \times \frac{9}{5}(k - 273.15)

\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) = k - 273.15

Step Three

Add 273.15 to both sides.

\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) + 273.15 = k

Problem B

F = 180

Solve for k

k = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32) + 273.15

k = \frac{5}{9}(180 - 32) + 273.15

k = \frac{5}{9} \times 148 + 273.15

k = 82.2222 + 273.15

k = 355.3722

k = 355.4  <<< Answer

To get the best deal on a microwave oven, Jeremy called six appliance stores and asked the cost of a specific model. The prices
babunello [11817]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices he received quotes for are as follows: $663, $273, $410, $622, $174, $374

To begin, we will find the average.

Average = total of data points/ number of data points.

Total of data points =

663 + 273 + 410 + 622 + 174 + 374

= 2516

Total count = 6

Average = 2516/6 = 419.33

Standard deviation = √summation(x - m)^2/n

summation(x - m)^2/n = (663 - 419.33)^2 + (273 - 419.33)^2 + (410 - 419.33)^2 + (622 - 419.33)^2 + (174 - 419.33)^2 + (374 - 419.33)^2

= 179417.9334/6 = 29902.9889

Standard deviation = √29902.9889

= 172.9

A certain pen has been designed so that true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions (involving the use of awriting
tester [12383]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 10

b) p_v =P(t_{17}

Given that the p-value is lower than the significance threshold in this situation, we have sufficient grounds to reject the null hypothesis.

c) p_v =P(t_{17}

In this case, since the p-value exceeds the significance threshold, we have adequate evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.

d) p_v =P(t_{17}

Here again, with the p-value being less than the significance level, we can reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Provided data and references

\bar X represents the average of the samples

s denotes the standard deviation of the samples

n=18 indicates the number of samples

\mu_o =10 is the value we are examining

\alpha defines the significance level for the test.

t represents the specific statistic of interest

p_v indicates the p-value relevant to the test (the variable of concern)

Define the null and alternative hypotheses.

To assess if the true mean is at least 10 hours, we must set up a hypothesis:

Part a

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 10

If we consider the sample size being less than 30 and the population deviation unknown, it’s more appropriate to use a t-test to compare the actual mean with the reference value, calculated as:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)

Part b

In this scenario t=-2.3, \alpha=0.05

Initially, we need to calculate the degrees of freedom df=n-1=18-1=17

Since this is a left-tailed test, the p-value is determined by:

p_v =P(t_{17}

In this instance, with the p-value being less than the significance level, we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Part c

For this situation t=-1.8, \alpha=0.01

We need to find the degrees of freedom df=n-1=18-1=17

For the left-tailed test, the p-value is given by:

p_v =P(t_{17}

In this case, since the p-value is above the significance level, we have enough grounds to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.

Part d

For this case t=-3.6, \alpha=0.05

Firstly, we find the degrees of freedom df=n-1=18-1=17

Since we are conducting a left-tailed test, the p-value is calculated as:

p_v =P(t_{17}

Here, with the p-value being lower than the significance threshold, we can reject the null hypothesis.

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.
Leona [12618]

Solution:

x=8

Detailed explanation:

This isosceles triangle consists of two right triangles with sides equal to 8,\sqrt{80}, and y

Considering we possess two sides of a right triangle, determining the third side can be achieved using the Pythagorean Theorem

(\sqrt{80} )^2=8^2+y^2\\\\80=64+y^2\\\\y^2=16\\\\y=4

Because it is an isosceles triangle, these two right triangles are the same, thus x=2y

Hence, x=2(4)=8
