At the .005 significance level with a one-tailed test, the critical z-value is 2.33. Since our calculated z-value (2.58) is greater than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is evidence to support the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is larger than 90% at the .005 significance level.

To test the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is larger than 90% at the .005 significance level, we can conduct a one-tailed hypothesis test. Our null hypothesis (H0) is that the proportion of men who own cats is less than or equal to 90%, while our alternative hypothesis (Ha) is that the proportion is greater than 90%.

We can use a z-test for proportions to calculate the test statistic and p-value. Let's assume we sample 200 men and find that 186 own cats. This gives us a sample proportion of 0.93.

Using the formula for the z-test for proportions, we get:

z = (0.93 - 0.9) / sqrt(0.9 * 0.1 / 200) = 2.58

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here A be n×n matrix with real enties

y={x=n×n matrix with real enties | Ax=xA} is vector space.

Let m be set of all n*n matrix with real enties then m is vector space over IR.

we show y is vector subspace of m.

Here [tex]I_{n*n\\}[/tex] identity matrix

IA=AI

∴ I ∈ y

∴ y is non empty subset of m.

Also if [tex]x_{1}[/tex],[tex]x_{2}[/tex] ∈ y ⇒ A[tex]x_{1}[/tex]=[tex]x_{1}[/tex]A ,A[tex]x_{2}[/tex]=[tex]x_{2}[/tex]A

for [tex]\alpha[/tex] ∈ IR arbitrary

[tex](\alpha x_{1} +x_{2} )A=\alpha (x_{1}A)+x_{2} A\\=\alpha (Ax_{1})+Ax_{2}\\ =A(\alpha x_{1} +x_{2})\\[/tex]

Hence [tex]\alpha x_{1}+x_{2}[/tex] ∈ y ∀ [tex]x_{1},x_{2}[/tex] ∈ y

∴ y is subspace of m.

∴ y is vector space.

The sum of squares of the real roots of p(x) = x³ - x² - 18x +18 is 37 for k= 18.

The cubic equation is given as,

p(x) = x³ - x² - 18x +k

To find the real roots of the cubic equation p(x) we can equate p(x) =0 , we get,

x³ - x² - 18x +k = 0

⇒ x² (x -1) - 18(x - k/18) = 0

For factoring the equation we can equate  (x -1) = (x - k/18) by comparing it with solving of general equations.

That is by arranging the cubic equation after equating (x -1) = (x - k/18)  we will get,

(x-1)(x² -18) =0

Thus we get,

(x -1) = (x - k/18)

⇒ k/18 =1

⇒ k =18

The cubic equation which will give us real roots will become,

p(x) = x³ - x² - 18x +18

By factoring we can find the real roots as,

x³ - x² - 18x +18 =0

⇒ (x² -18)(x -1) =0

⇒x= 1 , x = 3√2 and x= -3√2

Let us say, a = 1 , b = 3√2 and c = -3√2 are the required real roots.

The square of real roots are as follows,

a² = 1

b² = 18

c² = 18

Thus, the sum of squares of the real roots of p(x) = x³ - x² - 18x +18 is

We can expect that in a random draw of 4 peas from this cross, the number of yellow peas is likely to fall within the range of 2 to 4, with a typical range of 2.134 to 3.866.

The ratio of 3 yellow to 1 green suggests that the cross is between two heterozygous pea plants, each carrying one dominant (yellow) and one recessive (green) allele. This type of cross is called a monohybrid cross.

We can use the binomial distribution to calculate the probability of obtaining a certain number of yellow pea plants in a sample of four. Let p be the probability of obtaining a yellow pea plant, and q be the probability of obtaining a green pea plant, where p + q = 1. Since the ratio is 3 yellow to 1 green, we have p = 3/4 and q = 1/4.

The probability of obtaining exactly k yellow pea plants out of n trials is given by the binomial probability formula:

P(k) = (n choose k) * p^k * q^(n-k)

where (n choose k) is the binomial coefficient, which represents the number of ways to choose k items out of n without regard to order. It can be calculated as:

(n choose k) = n! / (k! * (n-k)!)

where n! is the factorial of n.

To find the typical range of the number of yellow peas drawn from a random draw of 4 peas expressed as the 1st SD window, we need to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the binomial distribution. The mean is given by:

μ = n * p

and the standard deviation is given by:

σ = sqrt(n * p * q)

where sqrt represents the square root function.

Substituting n = 4, p = 3/4, and q = 1/4, we have:

μ = 4 * 3/4 = 3

and

σ = sqrt(4 * 3/4 * 1/4) = sqrt(3/4) = 0.866

The typical range of the number of yellow peas drawn from a random draw of 4 peas expressed as the 1st SD window is given by:

[μ - σ, μ + σ] = [3 - 0.866, 3 + 0.866] = [2.134, 3.866]

Therefore, we can expect that in a random draw of 4 peas from this cross, the number of yellow peas is likely to fall within the range of 2 to 4, with a typical range of 2.134 to 3.866.

When the depth of water in the vase is 9 cm, there are 81 mL of water in the vase.

Since the volume of water in the vase is proportional to the depth, we can write:

The volume of water in the vase = constant x depth of water

Let's call the constant of proportionality "k". Then we have:

The volume of water in the vase = k x depth of water

To find the value of "k", we can use the information given in the problem. When there are 63 mL of water in the vase, the depth is 7 cm. So we have:

63 mL = k × 7 cm

Solving for "k", we get:

k = 63/7  = 9 mL/cm

Now we can use this value of "k" to find how much water is in the vase when the depth is 9 cm:

The volume of water in the vase = k × depth of water

Volume of water in vase = 9 × 9

The volume of water in the vase = 81 mL

It's important to note that this proportionality assumes that the vase has a constant cross-sectional area. If the shape of the vase changes with depth, the relationship between volume and depth will not be proportional.

B is correct.

The coordinates of the point (-7,-3) after a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin are (-3,-7).

To rotate a point 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, we need to swap its x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate.

So, starting with point (-7,-3):

Swap the x and y coordinates to get (3,-7)

Negate the new x coordinate to get (-3,-7)

Therefore, the coordinates of the point (-7,-3) after a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin are (-3,-7).

In mathematics, coordinates are used to specify the position of a point or an object in a particular space. The number of coordinates needed depends on the dimension of the space in which the point or object exists.

The integral has a value of 27.

To calculate this integral using Laplace transforms, we can first apply the Laplace transform to both sides of the equation:

L{0∫[infinity] t[tex]e^{(-54t)}[/tex] sin(t) dt} = L{0}

Using the property of Laplace transform for integration, we get:

[tex]L{te^{(-54t)} sin(t)} = -F'(s)[/tex]

where F(s) is the Laplace transform of sin(t).

Using the property of Laplace transform for differentiation, we can find F(s):

F(s) = L{sin(t)} = 1 / (s² + 1)

Now we can differentiate F(s) to find -F'(s):

-F'(s) = L{t [tex]e^{(-54t)[/tex] sin(t)} = (s² + 54) / (s² + 1)²

Finally, we can apply the inverse Laplace transform to get the solution:

0∫[infinity] [tex]te^{(-54t)[/tex] sin(t) dt = [tex]L^{-1}{(s^2 + 54) / (s^2 + 1)^2}[/tex]

Using partial fraction decomposition and inverse Laplace transform tables, we can simplify this expression to:

0∫[infinity] [tex]te^{(-54t)[/tex] sin(t) dt = (1/2) [cos(t) - 54 sin(t)] from 0 to infinity

Since cos(infinity) and sin(infinity) both do not converge, we can substitute infinity with a large value L and take the limit as L approaches infinity:

0∫[infinity] [tex]te^{(-54t)[/tex] sin(t) dt = (1/2) [cos(0) - cos(L) - 54(sin(0) - sin(L))] = 27

The A value from the given equation is CE = (io^0.118)/10.

To find the A value from the equation 0.242 = log of  CRnx CF ICF Rn= 1.334X10 CE=?, we need to isolate the variable A on one side of the equation. We can start by using the definition of logarithms, which states that log of CRnx CF ICF Rn= A is equivalent to CRnx CF ICF Rn= io^A.

Substituting the given values, we get:

1.334X10 CE= io^A

Taking the logarithm of both sides with base 10, we get:

logio (1.334X10 CE) = logio (io^A)

Using the logarithmic identity logio (a^b) = b*logio (a), we can simplify the left-hand side to:

logio (1.334X10 CE) = logio (1.334) + logio (10 CE)

Now we can substitute the given value of logio CRnx CF ICF Rn= 0.242:

0.242 = logio (1.334) + logio (10 CE)

Solving for logio (10 CE), we get:

logio (10 CE) = 0.242 - logio (1.334)

logio (10 CE) = 0.242 - 0.124

logio (10 CE) = 0.118

Finally, we can solve for CE by exponentiating both sides with base 10:

10 CE = io^0.118

CE = (io^0.118)/10

Therefore, the A value from the given equation is CE = (io^0.118)/10.

Answer:

$5,920.44

Step-by-step explanation:

The most general form to compute the amount accrued when interest is compounded with periodic contributions is given by the formula

[tex]A = P \dfrac{\left(1 + \dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}-1}{\dfrac{r}{n}}[/tex]

where
A = Accrued amount (principal + interest)

P = Periodic contribution to the sinking fund,

r = Annual nominal interest rate as a decimal

R = Annual nominal interest rate as a percent

r = R/100

n = number of compounding periods per unit of time

We are given A as 412,000 (amount at the end of 4 years) and asked to compute P(monthly contribution)

We have R = 18%, so r = 18/100 = 0.18

t = 4 years

n = 12 because we are compounding monthly so in 1 year we compound 12 times

Plugging these values into the equation we get

[tex]412000 = P \dfrac{\left(1 + \dfrac{0.18}{12}\right)^{12 \cdot 4}-1}{\dfrac{0.18}{12}}\\\\[/tex]

We have

r/n = 0.18/12 = 0.015

1 + r/n = 1.015

nt = 12 x 4 = 48

[tex]412000 = P\dfrac{ (1.015)^{48} -1 } {0.015}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]412000 = P \dfrac{1.043478}{0.015}\\\\412000 = P \cdot 69.5652\\\\\P = \dfrac{412000}{69.5652}\\\\[/tex]

$5,920.44

Answer:

  (a)  $5920.44

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the monthly payment required to a sinking fund that is expected to have a value of $412,000 in 4 years if the account pays 18% interest.

A table of sinking fund payment values will tell you that the monthly payment required at an 18% interest rate for 4 years is $14.37 per thousand of account value.

We want the account value to be 412 thousand, so the monthly payment will need to be ...

  412 × $14.37 = $5,920.44

__

Additional comment

The actual payment required is $5922.50. Using a multiplier rounded to cents understates the payment because of rounding error.

If the more precise multiplier $14.375 per thousand is used, then the payment value would be correctly computed.

If you simply divide the desired $412000 into 48 equal payments, each would be $8,583.33. Since interest is earned, you know the payment is less than this amount. $5,920.44 is the only reasonable answer choice.

When the popularity of grapefruits increases, it leads to a higher demand for them in the market. Consequently, the price of grapefruits rises due to this increased demand. In response to the price increase, several changes occur in the market for grapefruits.

Firstly, as the price of grapefruits increases, the quantity demanded by consumers will likely decrease, as some individuals might be deterred by the higher cost. This is in accordance with the law of demand, which states that as the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded decreases, and vice versa.

Secondly, the higher price of grapefruits may encourage producers to increase their supply to take advantage of the increased revenue potential. As a result, the quantity supplied in the market will likely rise, following the law of supply, which states that as the price of a good increases, the quantity supplied increases, and vice versa.

In the long run, the market will seek to achieve equilibrium, where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. This process will involve adjustments in both supply and demand until a new equilibrium price and quantity are established. The ultimate outcome will depend on the elasticity of both supply and demand for grapefruits, which determine how responsive they are to price changes.

In conclusion, an increase in the popularity of grapefruits resulting in a higher price leads to changes in the market, including decreased quantity demanded, increased quantity supplied, and eventually, a new market equilibrium.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 2)²/16 - (y - 1)²/4 = 1

(x - 2)² - 4(y - 1)² = 16

x² + 4 - 4x - 4(y² + 1 - 2y) = 16

x² + 4 - 4x - 4y² - 4 + 8y = 16

x² - 4x + 8y - 4y² = 16

x² - 4x = 16  ,  -4y² + 8y = 16

x(x - 4) = 16  ,  4y(-y + 2) = 16

x = 16, x = 20,  y = 4, y = -14

The simplified expression after simplification is 3x² - 3x - 2.

To simplify the expression, we need to distribute the negative sign to the second polynomial and then combine like terms.

So,

(2xx² - 4) - (-x²+ 3x - 6)

= 2x² - 4 +x²- 3x + 6 (distributing the negative sign)

= 3x²- 3x + 2 (combining like terms)

To simplify the given expression, we first need to distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the second parentheses:

(2x² - 4) - (-x² + 3x - 6)

= 2x² - 4 + ² - 3x + 6 (distributing the negative sign changes the signs of all terms inside the second parentheses)

Year 2: 350 Airwing bicycles sold

Average annual demand = (300 + 350) / 2 = 325

Next, we need to calculate the cost of placing one order. The question states that each time an order is placed, ZBC incurs a cost of $65. Therefore, S = $65.

Finally, we must compute the annual holding cost per unit. According to the question, ZBC's inventory carrying cost is 1% per month (12% per year) of the purchase price. ZBC paid 60% of the suggested retail price of $170 for the purchase. Therefore, the purchase price paid by ZBC is 0.6 x $170 = $102.

Holding cost per unit per year = 12% x $102 = $12.24

Now we can plug these values into the EOQ formula:

EOQ = √((2 x 325 x $65)/$12.24) ≈ 68

Therefore, the economic order quantity for Zhou Bicycle Company's Airwing bicycle is approximately 68.

Complete question:

Zhou Bicycle Company​ (ZBC), located in​ Seattle, is a wholesale distributor of bicycles and bicycle parts. Formed in 1981 by University of Washington Professor​ Yong-Pin Zhou, the​ firm’s primary retail outlets are located within a​ 400-mile radius of the distribution center. These retail outlets receive the order from ZBC within 2 days after notifying the distribution​ center, provided that the stock is available.​ However, if an order is not fulfilled by the​ company, no backorder is​ placed; the retailers arrange to get their shipment from other​ distributors, and ZBC loses that amount of business.

The company distributes a wide variety of bicycles. The most popular​ model, and the major source of revenue to the​ company, is the Airwing. ZBC receives all the models from a single manufacturer in​ China, and shipment takes as long as 4 weeks from the time an order is placed. With the cost of​ communication, paperwork, and customs clearance​ included, ZBC estimates that each time an order is​ placed, it incurs a cost of​ $65. The purchase price paid by​ ZBC, per​ bicycle, is roughly​ 60% of the suggested retail price for all the styles​ available, and the inventory carrying cost is​ 1% per month​ (12% per​ year) of the purchase price paid by ZBC. The retail price​ (paid by the​ customers) for the Airwing is​ $170 per bicycle.

ZBC is interested in making an inventory plan for 2019. The firm wants to maintain a​ 95% service level with its customers to minimize the losses on the lost orders. The data collected for the past 2 years are summarized in the following table. A forecast for Airwing model sales in 2019 has been developed and will be used to make an inventory plan for ZBC.

We can say with 99% confidence that the true mean length of all Hollywood movies made in the last 10 years is between 107.2 and 116.0 minutes.

We are given:

Sample size (n) = 45

Sample mean (x) = 111.6 minutes

Sample standard deviation (s) = 14.3 minutes

Confidence level = 99%

To construct the confidence interval, we can use the formula:

Confidence interval = x ± zα/2 * (s/√n)

Where:

x = sample mean

zα/2 = the z-score associated with the desired confidence level (in this case, 99% corresponds to a z-score of 2.576)

s = sample standard deviation

n = sample size

Substituting the given values, we get:

Confidence interval = 111.6 ± 2.576 * (14.3/√45)

Confidence interval = 111.6 ± 4.36

Confidence interval = (107.2, 116.0)

Therefore, we can say with 99% confidence that the true mean length of all Hollywood movies made in the last 10 years is between 107.2 and 116.0 minutes.
