From production records, the data in the table below were collected. At the .05 level of significance test to determine if the number of breakdowns is independent of the shift.
Machine
Shift A B C D

2 31 11 9 14
3 15 17 16 10
A. The number of breakdowns is dependent on the shift, because the test value 11.649 is less than the critical value of 12.592.
B. The claim that the number of breakdowns is independent of the shift cannot be rejected, because the test value 11.649 is less than the critical value of 12.592.
C. The number of breakdowns is dependent on the shift, because the p-value is .07.
D. The number of breakdowns is independent of the shift, because the test value 12.592 is greater than the critical value of 11.649.

Ho: row and column factors are independent
Ha: they are not independent
----------------
I ran a Chi-Sq test on the data and got the following:
test stat: Chi-Sq = 11.649
p-value:: 0.07
-----
conclusion: Since the p-value is greater than 5%, fail to reject Ho.

Probability-and-statistics/758602: Multiple myeloma or blood plasma cancer is characterized by increased blood vessel formulation in the bone marrow that is a prognostic factor in survival. One treatment approach used for multiple myeloma is stem cell transplantation with the patient’s own stem cells. The following data represent the bone marrow microvessel density for a sample of 7 patients who had a complete response to a stem cell transplant as measured by blood and urine tests. Two measurements were taken: the first immediately prior to the stem cell transplant, and the second at the time of the complete response.
Patient 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Before 158 189 202 353 416 426 441
After 284 214 101 227 290 176 290
At the .01 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean bone marrow microvessel density is higher before the stem cell transplant than after the stem cell transplant?
A. No
B. Yes
C. Cannot Determine

You can put this solution on YOUR website!If something is thrown straight up at a height of 2ft and thrown at an velocity of 35ft/second, what would be the function that can be used to determine the height of this object.
-------------------------------
h(t) = -gt^2/2 + vt + s
g = acceleration due to gravity (negative because it's downward)
v = initial speed at launch
s = starting height
------------
32 ft/sec/sec is commonly used for g
-----
h(t) = -16t^2 + 35t + 2

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/758680: The gasoline gauge on a van initially read 1/8 full. When 9 gallons were added to the tank, the gauge read 1/2 full. How many more gallons are needed to fill the tank? 2 solutions
Answer 461620 by Edwin McCravy(8999) on 2013-06-17 08:09:51 (Show Source):
Answer 461619 by Cromlix(708) on 2013-06-17 08:07:43 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!1/2 - 1/8 = 3/8
Therefore 3/8 = 9 galls
1 full tank = 9*8/3
1 full tank = 24 gallons
1/8 of 24 galls = 3 gallons
So, 3 gallons in initially
9 gallons added to 1/2 mark
12 gallons require to be added to
the tank to fill it.
Hope this helps.

Quadratic_Equations/758673: in a triangle ABC,if angle A+angle B =150 degree and angle B+angle C=100.find the measure of each angle of the triangle 1 solutions
Answer 461616 by Cromlix(708) on 2013-06-17 07:54:46 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!If angle A + angle B = 150 degrees
then angle C = 180 - 150 = 30 degrees.
If angle B + angle C = 100 degrees
then angle A = 180 - 100 = 80 degrees.
Then angle B = 180 - (30 + 80)
= 180 - 110
= 70 degrees
Angle A = 80 degrees
Angle B = 70 degrees
Angle C = 30 degrees
Hope this helps.

Equations/758585: m=(6)/(7),(4,-2)Find the equation of the line. 1 solutions
Answer 461611 by Cromlix(708) on 2013-06-17 07:31:03 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!y - b = m(x - a)
y -(-2) = 6/7(x - 4)
y + 4 = 6/7x - 24/7
y = 6/7x - 24/7 - 28/7 (4)
y = 6/7x -52/7
This is the equation or
you can multiply through by 7
7y = 6x - 52

Linear-equations/758587: Can you answer this for me
Elimination: 3x+2y=12
5x-4y=-2 1 solutions
Answer 461610 by Cromlix(708) on 2013-06-17 07:25:47 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!3x + 2y = 12......1
5x - 4y = -2......2
Multiply (1) by 2
6x + 4y = 24......3
5x - 4y = -2......2
Add (1) to(2)
11x = 22
x = 2
Substitute x = 2
into Eq(1)
3x + 2y = 12
3(2) + 2y = 12
6 + 2y = 12
2y = 12 - 6
2y = 6
y = 3
x = 2 y = 3

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/758618: Determine the roots of the equation x^2+4x=45 can you help me in the first steps 1 solutions
Answer 461608 by Cromlix(708) on 2013-06-17 07:08:16 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!x^2 + 4x = 45
Change the side of the 45
changing its sign
x^2 + 4x - 45= 0
Now you need to find two numbers
that multiply together to give you -45
and add together to give you +4
5 x 9 = 45
Keep the larger number positive
and make the smaller on negative
-5 x +9 = -45
-5 + 9 = 4
(x - 5)(x + 9) = 0
Hope this helps.

Triangles/758661: the vertices of a triangle ABC are A(2,1) and B(6,-1) and C(4,11).find the equation of altitude through A of triangle ABC
1 solutions
Answer 461605 by Cromlix(708) on 2013-06-17 06:45:24 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Find the gradient of BC
Formula: y2 - y1/x2 - x1
11-(-1)/4 - 6
12/-2
-6
As an altitude is at right angles
to the line it emerges from, the
gradient of the line BC and the
gradient of the altitude will
multiply together to give -1
m1 x m2 = -1
So, if the gradient of BC is -6
then the gradient of the altitude
is 1/6.
Setting up the equation:
Using y - b = m(x - a) with m = 1/6 Coords of A (2,1)
y - 1 = 1/6(x - 2)
y - 1 = 1/6x - 2/6
y = 1/6x - 2/6 + 6/6 (1)
y = 1/6x + 4/6
This is the equation but you can
multiply through by 6
6y = x + 4
Hope this helps.

Numbers_Word_Problems/758646: If the sum of five different prime numbers is an even number, what is the smallest of the five?
THANK YOU!
1 solutions
Answer 461603 by fcabanski(889) on 2013-06-17 03:38:18 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!2 is the only even prime number. All other prime numbers are odd.
The sum of an odd number of odd numbers is odd. Since there are five prime numbers (that's an odd number of numbers), if they were all odd then the sum would be odd.
Since the sum is even, one of the five prime numbers must be even. It must be 2, the only even prime number.
