9. Your mathematics instructor claims that, over the years, 88% of his students have said that math is their favorite class. In

this year's class, however, only 21 out of 32 students named math as their favorite. The teacher decides to conduct a test of the hypothesis H0 : p = .88. If Ha : p < .88, what's the corresponding P-value?

Response:

Step-by-step breakdown:

For the null hypothesis,

H0: p = 88

For the alternative hypothesis,

Ha: p < 88

In terms of population proportion, where the probability of success is p = 0.88

q represents the probability of failure = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.88 = 0.12

Considering the sample,

Sample proportion, P = x/n

Where

x = number of successes = 21

n = total samples = 32

P = 21/32 = 0.66

Next, we determine the test statistic, which represents the z-score

z = (P - p)/√pq/n

z = (0.66 - 0.88)/√(0.88 × 0.12)/32 = - 3.83

The relevant p-value corresponds by referencing the normal distribution table for the area falling beneath the z-score. As a result,

P value = 0.00006

Jane is training for a triathlon. After swimming a few laps, she leaves the health club and bikes 16 miles south. She then runs
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

The formula to determine the distance Jane's trainer bikes is x=\sqrt{16^2+12^2}.

Detailed explanation:

A diagram has been included for clarity.

Known values:

Distance biked to the south = 16 miles

Distance ran west = 12 miles

We need to determine the distance covered by Jane's trainer.

Solution:

Let the biking distance be represented by 'x'.

We will assume it forms a right-angled triangle.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, it states that;

"The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides."

When set in equation form, this gives us;

x^2=16^2+12^2\\\\x=\sqrt{16^2+12^2}

Thus, the equation representing the distance biked by Jane's trainer is x=\sqrt{16^2+12^2}.

Upon solving, we find;

x=\sqrt{16^2+12^2}\\\\x= \sqrt{256+144}\\ \\x=\sqrt{400} \\\\x=20\ miles

Consequently, Jane's trainer covers a distance of 20 miles.

After a (not very successful) trick or treating round, Candice has 15 Tootsie rolls and 9 Twizzlers in her pillow case. Her moth
tester [12383]

Solution:

There are 4 ways.

Detailed explanation:

Candice has a total of 15 + 9 = 24 candies. Since she has three younger brothers, and 24 can be divided by 3 (24/3 = 8). Both 15 and 9 can also be divided by 3 (15/3 = 5 and 9/3 = 3).

- She can distribute 5 tootsie rolls to each brother.

- She can provide 3 twizzlers to each brother.

- She can give each brother 5 tootsie rolls and 3 twizzlers (if she decides to share all her candies).

- She can give them one of each type of candy, leaving her with 12 tootsie rolls and 6 twizzlers (this would be the best option if she wants to keep some for herself).

I see four methods to accomplish this, and two methods remain after her mother instructs her to share at least one of each candy type with all three brothers.

How much money, as a one-time deposit, PV, would you need to deposit into an account that earns 1.5% compounded monthly to earn
PIT_PIT [12445]

Response:

To accumulate $7,500 in three years, the required one-time deposit is $4388.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Basic Financial Formulas

A commonly used formula for calculating present and future values is

FV=PV(1+r)^{n}

Where FV represents the future value, PV denotes the present value, r signifies the interest rate, and n indicates the number of compounding periods. It’s essential to remember that r and n must correspond to the same compounding duration, e.g. r is compounded monthly while n is expressed in months.

The inquiry seeks to determine the PV necessary as a one-time deposit to achieve a future value of $7,500 in 3 years at an interest rate of 1.5% compounded monthly.

FV=7,500

r=1.5%=0.015

n=3*12=36 months

We have changed n to months since r is monthly compounded. The equation

FV=PV(1+r)^{n}

must be arranged to isolate PV.

PV=FV(1+r)^{-n}

PV=7,500(1+0.015)^{-36}

PV=\$4388.17

Response

: The amount necessary as a one-time deposit to accrue $7,500 in three years is $4388.17[[TAG_54]]

Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age. Suri is 17 years old. Which method can be used to find c, her cousin's age?
zzz [12365]

Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Suri is 17 years old.

Her cousin's age is c.

Suri's age is stated to be 4 less than 3 times her cousin’s age.

This means we take 3 times her cousin’s age and subtract 4.

17 = 3c - 4

We now need to solve for c, which represents her cousin's age.

Add 4 to each side:

17 + 4 = 3c - 4 + 4

17 + 4 = 3c

21 = 3c

Now divide both sides by 3:

21/3 = 3c/3

7 = c

Thus,

Her cousin is 7 years old.

The vertex of this parabola is at (-2, -3). When the y-value is -2, the x-value is -5. Determine the coefficient of the squared
Inessa [12570]
The task requires calculating the coefficient of the squared term in the parabolic equation, and based on my calculations and analysis, I found that the vertex of the parabola can be expressed as y =a(x-h)^2+k, leading me to a simplification that results in x^2.
