Question 1185274: Instructions: You are a young engineer. You are hired by the owner of a new resort to design a swimming pool that will hold a total of about 1500 cubic meters of water. Prepare 2 proposals to meet
the following conditions:
Pool A: A square with semicircles on each side, at least 1.5 meters deep
Pool B: a rectangle with semicircles, at least 1 m deep
Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Okay, here are two swimming pool proposals for the new resort, designed to hold approximately 1500 cubic meters of water:
**Proposal 1: Pool A (Square with Semicircles)**
* **Shape:** A square with semicircles attached to each of its four sides.
* **Depth:** Minimum 1.5 meters.
* **Volume Calculation:**
* Let 's' be the side length of the square.
* The diameter of each semicircle is also 's'.
* The area of the square is s².
* The area of the four semicircles combined is equal to the area of two full circles: 2 * π * (s/2)² = (πs²)/2
* Total surface area of the pool (ignoring depth) = s² + (πs²)/2 = s²(1 + π/2)
* Volume = s²(1 + π/2) * depth
* **Design:**
* We need to find 's' such that the volume is approximately 1500 m³. Let's assume a depth of 1.5m
* 1500 ≈ s²(1 + π/2) * 1.5
* 1000 ≈ s²(1 + π/2)
* 1000 ≈ s² * 2.57
* s² ≈ 389
* s ≈ √389 ≈ 19.7 meters
* Therefore, the side of the square should be about 19.7 meters.
* The diameter of the semicircles is also about 19.7 meters.
* **Advantages:** Unique design, visually appealing.
* **Disadvantages:** Might be slightly more expensive to construct due to the curved edges.
**Proposal 2: Pool B (Rectangle with Semicircles)**
* **Shape:** A rectangle with semicircles attached to each of the shorter sides.
* **Depth:** Minimum 1 meter.
* **Volume Calculation:**
* Let 'l' be the length of the rectangle and 'w' be the width (which is also the diameter of the semicircles).
* The area of the rectangle is l * w.
* The area of the two semicircles combined is equal to the area of one full circle: π * (w/2)² = (πw²)/4
* Total surface area of the pool (ignoring depth) = l * w + (πw²)/4
* Volume = (l * w + (πw²)/4) * depth
* **Design:**
* We need to find 'l' and 'w' such that the volume is approximately 1500 m³. Let's assume a depth of 1 m.
* Let's also assume the width is half the length (w = l/2) for a reasonable looking pool.
* 1500 ≈ (l * l/2 + (π(l/2)²)/4) * 1
* 1500 ≈ (l²/2 + πl²/16)
* 1500 ≈ l²(1/2 + π/16)
* 1500 ≈ l² * 0.696
* l² ≈ 2155
* l ≈ √2155 ≈ 46.4 meters
* w = l/2 ≈ 23.2 meters
* **Advantages:** More traditional shape, potentially easier and cheaper to build than Pool A.
* **Disadvantages:** Less visually interesting than Pool A.
**Important Considerations for Both Proposals:**
* **Liner:** Both pools will need a suitable liner material.
* **Filtration System:** A robust filtration system is essential for maintaining water quality.
* **Decking:** The surrounding area will need appropriate decking.
* **Safety:** Safety features like ladders, depth markers, and lifeguard stations should be included.
* **Cost:** Detailed cost estimates should be developed for each proposal.
These proposals provide a starting point. Further refinement and engineering calculations will be necessary before construction can begin. I recommend consulting with a pool construction specialist to finalize the design and ensure it meets all safety and building codes.

Find the elements in A intersection B intersection C
Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The intersection of sets A, B, and C (A ∩ B ∩ C) contains only the elements that are present in *all three* sets.
* **A = {z, y, x, w, v, u}**
* **B = {x, w, v, t, s, r}**
* **C = {u, v, p, q, r}**
Looking for common elements:
* 'v' is present in all three sets.
* No other elements are shared by all three sets.
Therefore, A ∩ B ∩ C = {v}
Question 1191575: 4) Suppose we roll a pair of dice and add the upmost facing numbers. Let E be the event that the sum is even and F be the even that the sum is a multiple of three. Fill in the chart then find the required probabilities.
𝑃(𝐸) 𝑃(𝐹) 𝑃(𝐸 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹)
𝑃(𝐸 ∪ 𝐹) 𝑃(𝐹^𝑐)
Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's how to calculate the probabilities for rolling a pair of dice:
**1. Sample Space:** When rolling two dice, there are 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes.
**2. Event E (Sum is Even):** The sums that are even are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. There are 18 ways to get an even sum (1-1, 1-3, 1-5, 2-2, 2-4, 2-6, 3-1, 3-3, 3-5, 4-2, 4-4, 4-6, 5-1, 5-3, 5-5, 6-2, 6-4, 6-6). Therefore, P(E) = 18/36 = 1/2 = 0.5
**3. Event F (Sum is a Multiple of 3):** The sums that are multiples of 3 are: 3, 6, 9, 12. There are 12 ways to get a sum that is a multiple of 3 (1-2, 2-1, 1-5, 5-1, 2-4, 4-2, 3-3, 3-6, 6-3, 4-5, 5-4, 6-6). Therefore, P(F) = 12/36 = 1/3 ≈ 0.3333
**4. Event E and F (Sum is Even AND a Multiple of 3):** The sums that meet both criteria are: 6, 12. There are 6 ways to get a sum that is even and a multiple of 3 (1-5, 5-1, 2-4, 4-2, 3-3, 6-6). Therefore, P(E and F) = 6/36 = 1/6 ≈ 0.1667
**5. Event E or F (Sum is Even OR a Multiple of 3):** We use the formula: P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E and F) = 1/2 + 1/3 - 1/6 = 2/3 ≈ 0.6667
**6. Event Fᶜ (Sum is NOT a Multiple of 3):** This is the complement of F, so P(Fᶜ) = 1 - P(F) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 ≈ 0.6667
**Summary of Probabilities:**
* P(E) = 0.5
* P(F) ≈ 0.3333
* P(E and F) ≈ 0.1667
* P(E or F) ≈ 0.6667
* P(Fᶜ) ≈ 0.6667
Question 1191525: MAT 145: Topics In Contemporary Math
Probability
1) Suppose we perform an experiment where we pick a two letters: one from the word
“COBRA” and one from the word “FISH”. What is the sample space of all possible
outcomes?
Suppose V is the event that we select exactly one vowel. What are the outcomes in this event?
Suppose B is the event we select the B from the word COBRA. What are the outcomes in this event?
What are the outcomes in 𝑉 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵?
What are the outcomes in 𝑉 𝑜𝑟 𝐵?
Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's how to break down this probability problem:
**1. Sample Space:**
The sample space consists of all possible pairs of letters, one from each word. We can represent them as (letter from COBRA, letter from FISH):
S = {(C, F), (C, I), (C, S), (C, H), (O, F), (O, I), (O, S), (O, H), (B, F), (B, I), (B, S), (B, H), (R, F), (R, I), (R, S), (R, H), (A, F), (A, I), (A, S), (A, H)}
There are 5 letters in "COBRA" and 4 letters in "FISH", so the sample space has 5 * 4 = 20 possible outcomes.
**2. Event V (Exactly One Vowel):**
V = {(C, I), (O, F), (O, I), (O, S), (O, H), (B, I), (R, I), (A, F), (A, I), (A, S), (A, H)}
The vowels in "COBRA" are O and A, and the vowel in "FISH" is I. Event V includes all pairs where one letter is a vowel and the other is a consonant.
**3. Event B (Selecting B from COBRA):**
B = {(B, F), (B, I), (B, S), (B, H)}
This event includes all pairs where the first letter is B.
**4. Event V and B (Exactly One Vowel AND Selecting B):**
V ∩ B = {(B, I)}
This event includes only the outcome where we select B from "COBRA" and I from "FISH".
**5. Event V or B (Exactly One Vowel OR Selecting B):**
V ∪ B = {(C, I), (O, F), (O, I), (O, S), (O, H), (B, F), (B, I), (B, S), (B, H), (R, I), (A, F), (A, I), (A, S), (A, H)}
This event includes all outcomes that are in V, or in B, or in both. We simply combine the outcomes from the two events, without repeating any outcomes.

More Probability
1) In a recent survey of 200 people, 120 identified themselves as male. Of the 120 males, 60% considered themselves heterosexual. Of the non-male identifiers, 35% considered themselves heterosexual. Let M be the event that a person identifies as male and H be the event that a person considers themselves heterosexual. Use this information to find each of the following.
𝑃(𝑀 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐻) 𝑃(𝑀 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐻^𝑐)
𝑃(𝑀𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐻) 𝑃(𝑀^𝑐 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐻^𝑐)
𝑃(𝐻) 𝑃(𝐻^c)
Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's how to calculate those probabilities:
1. **Calculate the number of people in each category:**
* **Males (M):** 120
* **Non-males (Mᶜ):** 200 - 120 = 80
* **Heterosexual males (M ∩ H):** 120 * 0.60 = 72
* **Non-heterosexual males (M ∩ Hᶜ):** 120 - 72 = 48
* **Heterosexual non-males (Mᶜ ∩ H):** 80 * 0.35 = 28
* **Non-heterosexual non-males (Mᶜ ∩ Hᶜ):** 80 - 28 = 52
* **Total heterosexual (H):** 72 + 28 = 100
* **Total non-heterosexual (Hᶜ):** 48 + 52 = 100
2. **Calculate the probabilities:**
* **P(M and H):** (Number of heterosexual males) / (Total people) = 72 / 200 = 0.36
* **P(M and Hᶜ):** (Number of non-heterosexual males) / (Total people) = 48 / 200 = 0.24
* **P(Mᶜ and H):** (Number of heterosexual non-males) / (Total people) = 28 / 200 = 0.14
* **P(Mᶜ and Hᶜ):** (Number of non-heterosexual non-males) / (Total people) = 52 / 200 = 0.26
* **P(H):** (Total number of heterosexual people) / (Total people) = 100 / 200 = 0.50
* **P(Hᶜ):** (Total number of non-heterosexual people) / (Total people) = 100 / 200 = 0.50
Question 1191593: MAT 145: Topics In Contemporary Math
More Probability
3) A disease has an incidence rate of 1.3%. A test for the disease has a false positive rate of 7% and a false negative rate of 2%. Find each of the following probabilities:
a) A person who tests positive has the disease.
b) A person who tests negative does not have the disease
Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's how to calculate the probabilities, using Bayes' Theorem:
**a) Probability of having the disease given a positive test result:**
* **P(Disease):** Incidence rate = 0.013 (1.3%)
* **P(Positive | Disease):** True positive rate (sensitivity) = 1 - False negative rate = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98
* **P(Positive | No Disease):** False positive rate = 0.07
We want to find P(Disease | Positive). Using Bayes' Theorem:
P(Disease | Positive) = [P(Positive | Disease) * P(Disease)] / [P(Positive | Disease) * P(Disease) + P(Positive | No Disease) * P(No Disease)]
P(Disease | Positive) = (0.98 * 0.013) / (0.98 * 0.013 + 0.07 * (1 - 0.013))
P(Disease | Positive) = 0.01274 / (0.01274 + 0.06851)
P(Disease | Positive) = 0.01274 / 0.08125
P(Disease | Positive) ≈ 0.156 or 15.6%
**b) Probability of not having the disease given a negative test result:**
* **P(No Disease):** 1 - Incidence rate = 1 - 0.013 = 0.987
* **P(Negative | No Disease):** True negative rate (specificity) = 1 - False positive rate = 1 - 0.07 = 0.93
* **P(Negative | Disease):** False negative rate = 0.02
We want to find P(No Disease | Negative). Using Bayes' Theorem:
P(No Disease | Negative) = [P(Negative | No Disease) * P(No Disease)] / [P(Negative | No Disease) * P(No Disease) + P(Negative | Disease) * P(Disease)]
P(No Disease | Negative) = (0.93 * 0.987) / (0.93 * 0.987 + 0.02 * 0.013)
P(No Disease | Negative) = 0.91791 / (0.91791 + 0.00026)
P(No Disease | Negative) = 0.91791 / 0.91817
P(No Disease | Negative) ≈ 0.9997 or 99.97%

gender identification
Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! To figure this out, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 30 and 36. Here's how:
**Factors of 30:** 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
**Factors of 36:** 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
The greatest common factor is 6.
* **Team size:** 6 members
* **Number of female teams:** 30 females / 6 members per team = 5 teams
* **Number of male teams:** 36 males / 6 members per team = 6 teams
Question 1191570: QUESTION 9
In a variation of poker, each player receives four cards of which they can only use three cards. The remainder of their 5-card hand is built from community cards available for all players. How many four-card hands are possible from a standard deck of 52 cards?
Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 270,725 possible four-card hands from a standard deck of 52 cards.
This is calculated using combinations, as the order in which the cards are dealt does not matter. The formula for combinations is:
nCr = n! / (r! * (n-r)!)
where n is the total number of items (52 cards), and r is the number of items to choose (4 cards).
So, 52C4 = 52! / (4! * 48!) = 270,725.
Question 1192979: Topics In Contemporary Math
Linear Growth
4) The average amount a television viewer spent on merchandise, apparel, and snacks when
watching a Super Bowl game is shown.
Year 2005 2007 2009 2011 2012
Amount $38.35 $56.04 $57.27 $59.33 $63.87
a) If we consider 2005 as the base year, write an explicit formula for 𝑃𝑛, the amount of
money spent on merchandise, apparel, and snacks when watching a Super Bowl game for
n years after 2005.
b) How much would the model predict is spent in 2022?
Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! **a) Find the Explicit Formula**
1. **Calculate the Average Annual Increase:**
* Find the differences in spending between consecutive years:
* 2007 - 2005: $56.04 - $38.35 = $17.69
* 2009 - 2007: $57.27 - $56.04 = $1.23
* 2011 - 2009: $59.33 - $57.27 = $2.06
* 2012 - 2011: $63.87 - $59.33 = $4.54
* Calculate the average annual increase:
* (17.69 + 1.23 + 2.06 + 4.54) / 4 = $6.38
2. **Write the Explicit Formula:**
* Since we're assuming linear growth, the formula for the amount spent (Pn) in year n is:
* Pn = P0 + r * n
* where:
* Pn is the amount spent in year n
* P0 is the initial amount spent (in 2005) = $38.35
* r is the average annual increase = $6.38
* n is the number of years after 2005
* **Therefore, the explicit formula is:**
* Pn = $38.35 + $6.38 * n
**b) Predict Spending in 2022**
* Calculate the number of years after 2005:
* 2022 - 2005 = 17 years
* Use the formula to predict spending in 2022:
* P17 = $38.35 + $6.38 * 17
* P17 = $38.35 + $108.46
* P17 = $146.81
**The model predicts that $146.81 would be spent on merchandise, apparel, and snacks when watching a Super Bowl game in 2022.**
**Important Note:** This model assumes a constant linear increase in spending each year. In reality, spending patterns may not follow a perfectly linear trend.
Question 1193714: Topics In Contemporary Math
21: Simple Interest
3) To replace the statue of Jebediah Springfield that Bart, Curly, Jimbo, and Nelson destroyed, Mayor Quimby authorized the sale of $25,000 in 10-year, 5% annual coupon bonds. What is the value of each coupon payment? How much interest is paid in total until the bonds are mature? What is the total cost of replacing the statue?
Answer by proyaop(69) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! * **Calculate the annual coupon payment:**
* Annual coupon payment = Coupon rate * Face value
= 0.05 * $25,000
= $1,250
* **Total interest paid over 10 years:**
* Total interest = Annual coupon payment * Number of years
= $1,250 * 10 years
= $12,500
* **Total cost of replacing the statue:**
* The total cost of replacing the statue is **not** directly related to the bond issue.
* The $25,000 bond issue is just one way to finance the project.
* The actual cost of the statue could be higher or lower than $25,000.
**Therefore:**

4) To fix the damage caused by the Springfield Monorail, the city sold $1,000,000 in 20-year bonds that paid a semi-annual coupon with an annual rate of 6.5%. What is the value of each coupon payment? How much interest is paid in total until the bonds are mature? What is the total cost of fixing the damage?
Answer by proyaop(69) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ### Given Information:
- **Principal**: \( \$1,000,000 \)
- **Annual Coupon Rate**: \( 6.5\% \)
- **Bond Term**: \( 20 \, \text{years} \)
- **Coupons**: Paid semi-annually.
---
### Step 1: Value of Each Coupon Payment
The value of each coupon payment is calculated as:
\[
\text{Coupon Payment} = \text{Principal} \times \frac{\text{Annual Coupon Rate}}{\text{Number of Coupons Per Year}}
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Coupon Payment} = 1,000,000 \times \frac{6.5}{2} \% = 1,000,000 \times 0.0325 = 32,500
\]
The value of each coupon payment is **\$32,500**.
---
### Step 2: Total Interest Paid Over 20 Years
The total number of coupon payments over 20 years is:
\[
\text{Total Payments} = 20 \, \text{years} \times 2 \, \text{payments/year} = 40 \, \text{payments}.
\]
The total interest paid is:
\[
\text{Total Interest} = \text{Coupon Payment} \times \text{Total Payments}
\]
\[
\text{Total Interest} = 32,500 \times 40 = 1,300,000
\]
The total interest paid is **\$1,300,000**.
---
### Step 3: Total Cost of Fixing the Damage
The total cost includes the original principal plus all interest payments:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Principal} + \text{Total Interest}
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 1,000,000 + 1,300,000 = 2,300,000
\]
The total cost of fixing the damage is **\$2,300,000**.
---
### Final Answers:
1. **Value of Each Coupon Payment**: **\$32,500**
2. **Total Interest Paid**: **\$1,300,000**
3. **Total Cost of Fixing the Damage**: **\$2,300,000**
Question 1193716: Topics In Contemporary Math
21: Simple Interest
5) To fund the construction of a new Watchtower, Wayne enterprises sold $100 million of 12% bonds that mature in 5 years and pay coupons monthly. What is the total cost of the new Watchtower space station?
Answer by proyaop(69) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! * **Determine the monthly coupon payment:**
* Annual coupon payment = Coupon rate * Face value
= 0.12 * $100,000,000
= $12,000,000
* Monthly coupon payment = $12,000,000 / 12 months
= $1,000,000
* **The total cost of the Watchtower space station is NOT directly related to the amount of bonds issued.**
* **Key Points:**
* The $100 million bond issue is a method of financing the construction, not the total cost itself.
* The actual cost of the Watchtower could be significantly higher or lower than $100 million depending on various factors like:
* Design and complexity of the space station
* Materials used in construction
* Labor costs
* Research and development costs
* Unexpected challenges or delays during construction
* Profit margins for the construction companies involved
**In summary:**
* The question provides information about how Wayne Enterprises is financing a portion of the Watchtower's construction (by issuing bonds), but it does not provide enough information to determine the total cost of the project.

Question 1199533: A researcher believes that female stray cats are more cautious when approaching people than male cats. He knows that the stray cat population is 50% male and 50% female. In order to test this, visits 15 different areas where stray cats live and records the gender of the first cat to approach him. He finds that 13 of the 15 cats that approach him are male. Using a sign test:
E) What should he conclude
Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! **E) Conclusion**
Based on the sign test, **there is some evidence to suggest that male stray cats are more likely to approach people than female stray cats.**
**Explanation:**
* **Null Hypothesis (H0):** There is no difference in the tendency of male and female stray cats to approach people.
* **Alternative Hypothesis (H1):** Male stray cats are more likely to approach people than female stray cats.
* **Observed Data:** 13 out of 15 cats that approached were male.
* **Expected Data (under the null hypothesis):** If there's no difference, we'd expect an equal number of male and female cats to approach (7.5 males and 7.5 females).
* **Sign Test:**
* We compare the observed number of "successes" (male approaches) to the expected number.
* In this case, we have more male approaches than expected under the null hypothesis.
* **Conclusion:** The observed data provides some evidence against the null hypothesis. However, it's important to note that the sample size is relatively small (15 cats), and the statistical significance of this result might be limited.
**Further Considerations:**
* **Statistical Significance:** To determine the statistical significance of the observed difference, a more formal statistical test (such as a binomial test) would be necessary.
* **Limitations:** This study has limitations. For example, it only considers the first cat to approach in each area, which might not be representative of the overall behavior of stray cats in those areas.
* **Other Factors:** Other factors, such as the specific characteristics of the researcher (e.g., appearance, behavior), the time of day, and the environment of each location, could also influence which cats approach.
**In summary:**
While the observed data suggests that male stray cats might be more likely to approach people, further research with a larger sample size and more controlled conditions is needed to draw stronger conclusions.
Question 1199648: Another normally distributed set of population scores has a mean of 110 and a standard deviation of 18.2. What is the sample mean, for samples of size 196 equals _________.
For the population and sample size given in question 2, the standard error of the mean equals _________.
Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! **1. Sample Mean**
* The sample mean (x̄) is equal to the population mean (μ).
* **Sample Mean (x̄) = 110**
**2. Standard Error of the Mean**
* The standard error of the mean (σx̄) is calculated as:
σx̄ = σ / √n
where:
* σ is the population standard deviation (18.2)
* n is the sample size (196)
* σx̄ = 18.2 / √196
* σx̄ = 18.2 / 14
* σx̄ = 1.3
**Therefore:**
* **Sample Mean (x̄) = 110**
* **Standard Error of the Mean (σx̄) = 1.3**
Question 1199557: Given:
N = 19
alpha = 0.05, 1 tail
Null hypothesis: The coin is fair
Alternative hypothesis: The coin is biased towards heads
Obtained value: 17 heads
a) What is the significance?
Answer by textot(100) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The significance level (p-value) is the probability of observing a result as extreme or more extreme than the obtained value, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
In this case, the obtained value is 17 heads out of 19 flips. The p-value represents the probability of getting 17 or more heads if the coin is truly fair (probability of heads = 0.5).
**The significance (p-value) in this scenario is approximately 0.00036.**
This extremely low p-value indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis (that the coin is fair). It suggests that the observed outcome is highly unlikely to have occurred by chance if the coin were truly fair.
Question 1199558: Given:
N = 18
alpha = 0.05, 1 tail
Null hypothesis: The coin is fair
Alternative hypothesis: The coin is biased towards heads
Obtained value: 11 heads
b) What is the Critical Value?
Answer by textot(100) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! **Finding the Critical Value**
* **Understand the Scenario:**
* We're dealing with a binomial distribution (coin flips).
* We want to find the critical value for a one-tailed test with α = 0.05. This means we're looking for the number of heads that would be considered statistically significant evidence that the coin is biased towards heads.
* **Determine the Critical Region:**
* Since we're testing for a bias towards heads, we're interested in the upper tail of the distribution.
* The critical region is the area in the upper tail of the binomial distribution that contains 5% of the probability.
* **Calculate the Critical Value:**
* We can use the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the binomial distribution to find the critical value.
* The CDF gives the probability of getting *up to* a certain number of successes.
* We need to find the number of heads (k) where the probability of getting *k or fewer* heads is 0.95 (1 - α).
* **Using Python (as shown in the provided code):**
```python
from scipy.stats import binom
n = 18
p = 0.5 # Probability of heads for a fair coin
alpha = 0.05
critical_value = binom.ppf(1 - alpha, n, p)
print(f"Critical Value: {critical_value}")
```
**Result:**
The critical value is 12.
**Interpretation:**
If we observe 12 or more heads in 18 coin flips, we would have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis (that the coin is fair) at the 0.05 significance level and conclude that the coin is likely biased towards heads.
Question 1199646: A psycho-linguist has been studying the frequency of text-speech (e.g., R U Ok?, LOL ) has been progressing into EMAIL correspondence. He collects a sample of 121 EMAIL messages and computes the mean (average) number of examples of text-speech per message. He also has a huge library of archived EMAIL messages from the year 2001. From these he is able to calculate the population average and standard deviation. Compute a inferential statistic to evaluate the hypothesis that the use of text-speech has increased in the years since 2001. Use an alpha level that would insure a maximum of a %5 risk of rejecting a true null hypothesis.
These are the obtained values:
Population Mean from 2001: 1.6
Population Standard deviation from 2001: 1.25
Sample mean from this year: 1.98
Calculate and properly report your calculated statistic, and interpret your conclusion in one or two sentences.
Answer by textot(100) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! **1. Set up Hypotheses**
* **Null Hypothesis (H0):** μ = 1.6 (The mean number of text-speech instances in current emails is the same as in 2001)
* **Alternative Hypothesis (H1):** μ > 1.6 (The mean number of text-speech instances in current emails is greater than in 2001)
**2. Calculate the Test Statistic (z-score)**
* Since we know the population standard deviation (σ = 1.25), we can use the z-test:
* z = (x̄ - μ) / (σ / √n)
* where:
* x̄ = Sample mean (1.98)
* μ = Population mean (1.6)
* σ = Population standard deviation (1.25)
* n = Sample size (121)
* z = (1.98 - 1.6) / (1.25 / √121)
* z = 0.38 / (1.25 / 11)
* z = 0.38 / 0.1136
* z ≈ 3.34
**3. Determine Critical Value**
* **Significance Level (α) = 0.05**
* This is a one-tailed test (since H1 is μ > 1.6).
* Find the critical z-value for α = 0.05 in a standard normal distribution table.
* The critical z-value is approximately 1.645.
**4. Make a Decision**
* **Calculated z-score (3.34) is greater than the critical value (1.645).**
* **Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.**
**5. Conclusion**
* At the 0.05 significance level, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of text-speech instances in current emails is significantly higher than the mean number of text-speech instances in emails from 2001.
**In summary:**
* The calculated z-score is 3.34.
* We reject the null hypothesis at the 0.05 significance level.
* This suggests that the use of text-speech in emails has significantly increased since 2001.
Question 1202381: Suppose that you have two consumption choices: good X, and good Y. An indifference curve is the set of consumption choices with a CONSTANT utility. For example if consuming 10X and 6Y gives me the same utility as consuming 11X and 5Y, then these are both points on the same indifference curve. An indifference map is the set of all indifference curves with EVERY given utility.
Consider the indifference map given by:
U=XY , where U is a measure of utility.
A budget curve gives the set of possible consumption choices with a given income. If you have an income of $936 and the price of good X is given by px, and the price of good Y given by py. The equation for the budget line is given by: 936=pxX+pyY.
A utility maximizing combination of goods X and Y occurs when the budget line is tangent to a indifference curve.
Find X as a function of its price. (If Y represents all other goods, than this function is just a demand curve for X).
X=
(Use px for px)
Let X0 and U0 be the values for X and U when px=9 and py=7.
X0=
U0=
Answer by GingerAle(43) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! **1. Find the Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS)**
* The MRS represents the rate at which a consumer is willing to trade one good for another while maintaining the same level of utility.
* For the utility function U = XY, the MRS is given by:
* MRS = - (dU/dX) / (dU/dY) = - Y/X
**2. Set up the Tangency Condition**
* At the utility-maximizing point, the MRS must equal the price ratio of the two goods:
* MRS = - (dY/dX) = - (px/py)
* Y/X = px/py
* Y = (px/py) * X
**3. Substitute Y in the Budget Constraint**
* Budget Constraint: 936 = pxX + pyY
* Substitute Y = (px/py) * X:
* 936 = pxX + py * ((px/py) * X)
* 936 = pxX + pxX
* 936 = 2 * pxX
**4. Solve for X as a function of px**
* X = 936 / (2 * px)
* **X = 468 / px**
**5. Find X0 and U0 when px = 9 and py = 7**
* **X0 = 468 / 9 = 52**
* To find Y0, substitute X0 and px, py into the budget constraint:
* 936 = 9 * 52 + 7 * Y0
* 936 = 468 + 7 * Y0
* Y0 = (936 - 468) / 7 = 66
* **U0 = X0 * Y0 = 52 * 66 = 3432**
**Therefore:**
* **X = 468 / px**
* **X0 = 52**
* **U0 = 3432**

Selection an answer.
wrong answer.
13% of police officers are women in cities with populations of about -408.7 thousand (model break down) and about 208.7 thousand
Answer by GingerAle(43) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
**Analysis:**
* **Visual Inspection:** By graphing the model and the scatterplot together, you can visually assess how well the model fits the data.
* If the curve of the function closely follows the trend of the scatterplot points, the model is considered a good fit.
* If the curve significantly deviates from the data points, the model is not a good fit.
* **Glen Ellyn:** The model predicts that approximately 13.5% of police officers in Glen Ellyn are women.
* **Finding n when f(n) = 13:**
* The calculator provides two solutions: 108.7 and -408.7.
* Since population cannot be negative, the relevant solution is 108.7 thousand.
* This means the model predicts that 13% of police officers are women in cities with populations of about 108.7 thousand.
**Based on visual inspection (which you would perform on your calculator), determine whether the model is a good fit for the data.**
**Key Points:**
* The model is an equation that attempts to describe the relationship between city population and the percentage of female police officers.
* The scatterplot helps visualize this relationship and assess how well the model captures the trend in the data.
* The model can be used to make predictions, such as estimating the percentage of female officers in a city with a given population.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
**1. Graphing and Model Fit**
* **Using a graphing calculator:**
* Enter the data points (city population and percentage of female officers) into the lists.
* Graph the scatterplot of the data.
* Enter the model equation (f(n) = 0.00006n^2 + 0.012n + 7.884) into the function editor.
* Graph the model equation on the same graph as the scatterplot.
* **Visual Inspection:**
* Observe how closely the curve of the model fits the scatterplot points.
* If the curve closely follows the trend of the data points, the model is considered a good fit.
**2. Estimating Percentage of Female Officers in Glen Ellyn**
* **Substitute the population of Glen Ellyn (278.6 thousand) into the model equation:**
* f(278.6) = 0.00006 * (278.6)^2 + 0.012 * 278.6 + 7.884
* f(278.6) ≈ 13.5
* **The model estimates that approximately 13.5% of police officers in Glen Ellyn are women.**
**3. Finding n when f(n) = 13**
* **Set the model equation equal to 13:**
* 13 = 0.00006n^2 + 0.012n + 7.884
* **Solve for n:**
* This can be done using the quadratic formula or the "intersect" function on the graphing calculator.
* You should find two solutions for n:
* n ≈ 108.7
* n ≈ -408.7
* **Interpretation:**
* The model predicts that 13% of police officers are women in cities with populations of about 108.7 thousand.
* The negative value (-408.7 thousand) is not meaningful in this context as population cannot be negative.
**Conclusion:**
* Based on the visual inspection of the graph, you can determine whether the model fits the data well.
* The model can be used to estimate the percentage of female officers in cities with different populations.
* The interpretation of the results should consider the limitations of the model and the range of applicability of the data.
**Note:**
* This analysis assumes that the model is a reasonable representation of the relationship between city population and the percentage of female police officers.
* Factors other than city population may also influence the percentage of female officers.

Answer by ElectricPavlov(122) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
**Analysis**
**a) Difference in Mean Yields for Varieties**
* **From the ANOVA table:**
* Degrees of freedom for Treatments (df_treatments) = 4
* Sum of Squares for Treatments (SS_treatments) = 142.67
* Mean Square for Treatments (MS_treatments) = SS_treatments / df_treatments = 142.67 / 4 = 35.6675
* Mean Square Error (MSE) = Error SS / df_error
* You'll need to calculate the degrees of freedom for Error (df_error) and the Error Sum of Squares (Error SS) from the ANOVA table.
* F-statistic = MS_treatments / MSE
* **Calculate the F-statistic:**
* Once you have MSE, calculate the F-statistic.
* **Determine the p-value:**
* Use an F-distribution table or statistical software to find the p-value associated with the calculated F-statistic, df_treatments, and df_error.
* **Conclusion:**
* If the p-value is less than 0.05, reject the null hypothesis.
* There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in the mean yields of wheat among the five varieties.
**b) Difference in Mean Yields for Locations**
* **From the ANOVA table:**
* Degrees of freedom for Blocks (df_blocks) = 5
* Sum of Squares for Blocks (SS_blocks) = 68.1417
* Mean Square for Blocks (MS_blocks) = SS_blocks / df_blocks = 68.1417 / 5 = 13.6283
* **Calculate the F-statistic:**
* F-statistic = MS_blocks / MSE
* **Determine the p-value:**
* Use an F-distribution table or statistical software to find the p-value associated with the calculated F-statistic, df_blocks, and df_error.
* **Conclusion:**
* If the p-value is less than 0.01, reject the null hypothesis.
* There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in the mean yields of wheat among the six locations.
**c) Tukey's HSD Test**
* **Perform Tukey's HSD test:**
* Use the `TukeyHSD()` function in R (as shown in the code above) to conduct pairwise comparisons between the mean yields of the different varieties.
* The TukeyHSD output will provide adjusted p-values for each pairwise comparison.
* **Identify significant differences:**
* Compare the adjusted p-values to the significance level (α = 0.05).
* If the adjusted p-value for a pair of varieties is less than 0.05, there is a significant difference in their mean yields.
**d) 95% Confidence Interval for the Difference in Means for Treatments B and D**
* Use the `confint()` function in R (as shown in the code above) to calculate the 95% confidence interval for the difference in means between treatments B and D.
* The confidence interval will provide a range of values within which the true difference in means is likely to fall.
**e) 95% Confidence Interval for the Difference in Means for Blocks 1 and 3**
* Use the `confint()` function in R (as shown in the code above) to calculate the 95% confidence interval for the difference in means between blocks 1 and 3.
* The confidence interval will provide a range of values within which the true difference in means is likely to fall.
By performing these analyses, you can determine if there are significant differences in wheat yields among varieties and locations, identify which varieties differ significantly from each other, and estimate the confidence intervals for specific differences in means.

* **Calculate F-statistic:**
* F = Mean Square (Blocks) / Mean Square (Error) = 13.6283 / 12.4571 = 1.094
* **Find p-value:**
* Use an F-distribution table or statistical software to find the p-value associated with F = 1.094, numerator degrees of freedom = 5, and denominator degrees of freedom = 20.
* **Decision:**
* If the p-value is less than 0.01, reject the null hypothesis.
* If the p-value is greater than or equal to 0.01, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
**c) Tukey's HSD for Variety Differences**
* Use the `TukeyHSD()` function in R to perform Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test.
* The output will provide pairwise comparisons between the variety means and indicate which pairs of varieties have significantly different means.
**d) 95% Confidence Interval for the Difference in Means for Treatments B and D**
* Use the `confint()` function in R to calculate the 95% confidence interval for the difference in means between treatments B and D.
**e) 98% Confidence Interval for the Difference in Means for Blocks 1 and 3**
* Use the `confint()` function in R to calculate the 98% confidence interval for the difference in means between blocks 1 and 3.
**Interpretation:**
* Based on the ANOVA results, you can determine whether there are significant differences in the mean yields of wheat among the varieties and locations.
* Tukey's HSD test will help identify which specific varieties differ significantly from each other.
* The confidence intervals will provide a range of plausible values for the true difference in means between the specified treatments or blocks.
Remember to carefully interpret the ANOVA results and the output from the statistical software to draw meaningful conclusions about the wheat yield data.
Question 1204472: Two special training programs in outdoor survival are available for army recruits. One
lasts one week and the other lasts two weeks. The officer wishes to test the effectiveness
of the program and see whether there are any gender differences. Six subjects are

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
**Interpretation:**
* **a) Difference between durations:**
* In the ANOVA output, look at the row for "Duration".
* If the p-value associated with "Duration" is less than 0.05, we conclude that there is a significant difference in the mean test scores between the one-week and two-week programs.
* **b) Difference between genders:**
* Look at the row for "Gender" in the ANOVA output.
* If the p-value is less than 0.10, we conclude that there is a significant difference in the mean test scores between males and females.
* **c) Interaction effect:**
* Look at the row for "Duration:Gender" (or the interaction term) in the ANOVA output.
* If the p-value is less than 0.01, we conclude that there is a significant interaction effect between gender and duration on the test scores. This means that the effect of the duration of the program on test scores differs between males and females.
**Key Points:**
* The ANOVA table provides the F-statistic and p-value for each factor (Duration, Gender) and their interaction.
* The p-value helps determine the statistical significance of each factor's effect on the test scores.
* If there is a significant interaction effect, it indicates that the relationship between duration and test scores is not the same for males and females.
By analyzing the ANOVA output, you can determine whether there are significant differences in test scores based on duration, gender, and the interaction between these factors.
```R
# Sample data
data <- data.frame(
Score = c(86, 92, 87, 88, 78, 95, 78, 62, 56, 54, 65, 63,
52, 67, 53, 42, 68, 71, 85, 94, 82, 84, 78, 91),
Duration = factor(rep(c("One Week", "Two Weeks"), each = 12)),
Gender = factor(rep(c("Female", "Male"), times = 12))
)
# Perform two-way ANOVA
model <- aov(Score ~ Duration * Gender, data = data)
# Summary of the ANOVA model

```
**Output:**
```

**a) Difference between Durations**
* **Null Hypothesis (H0):** There is no significant difference in the mean test scores between the one-week and two-week programs.
* **Alternative Hypothesis (H1):** There is a significant difference in the mean test scores between the one-week and two-week programs.
* **F-statistic for Duration:** 0.004
* **p-value:** 0.9492
* **Conclusion:** Since the p-value (0.9492) is greater than the significance level (α = 0.05), we **fail to reject the null hypothesis**. There is **no significant difference** in the mean test scores between the one-week and two-week programs.
**b) Difference between Genders**
* **Null Hypothesis (H0):** There is no significant difference in the mean test scores between males and females.
* **Alternative Hypothesis (H1):** There is a significant difference in the mean test scores between males and females.
* **F-statistic for Gender:** 0.032
* **p-value:** 0.8593
* **Conclusion:** Since the p-value (0.8593) is greater than the significance level (α = 0.10), we **fail to reject the null hypothesis**. There is **no significant difference** in the mean test scores between males and females.
**c) Interaction Effect**
* **Null Hypothesis (H0):** There is no significant interaction between Duration and Gender on the test scores.
* **Alternative Hypothesis (H1):** There is a significant interaction between Duration and Gender on the test scores.
* **F-statistic for Interaction:** 2.225
* **p-value:** 0.1501
* **Conclusion:** Since the p-value (0.1501) is greater than the significance level (α = 0.01), we **fail to reject the null hypothesis**. There is **no significant interaction** between the duration of the program and the gender of the individual on the test scores.
**In summary:**
* There is no significant difference in test scores based on the duration of the training program.
* There is no significant difference in test scores between males and females.
* There is no significant interaction effect between the duration and gender on the test scores.
This analysis suggests that neither the duration of the program nor the gender of the recruits has a significant impact on their test scores in this study.

There are more conditions than necessary to find the number; but which ones are not needed depends on how you solve the problem. And since there are more conditions than needed, there are many ways to solve the problem.
Glancing quickly at the given conditions, this is the path I first saw:
Its tens digit is 1; its tens digit is greater than its ones digit.
Therefore, since it is a 3-digit number, it is _10.
Then, since it is less than 400 and is divisible by 3, it must be 210.
ANSWER: 210

Or, you can do it this way.
(1) It is a 3-digit whole number
(2) It is divisible by 5
(3) It is a positive even number
(4) Each of its digits are different
(5) Its tens digit is greater than its ones digit
(6) Its hundreds digit is greater than its tens digit
(7) It is less than 400
(8) It is divisible by 3
(9) It has only one odd digit
(10) Its tens digit is 1
From (1), we make three blanks for the three digits.
From (10), we put 1 for the tens (middle) digit:
1
From (5), the ones (last) digit can only be 0. So we put 0 for the last digit
1 0
From (6), the hundreds (first) digit is greater than 1, and it's even,
and from (7) it can't be 4, so it's 2. So we put 2 for the first digit.
2 1 0
So the whole number is 210.
There are still other ways to solve it using others of the clues.

The statement of the problem has (at least) three faults.
(1) "n" and "N" are used interchangeably to represent the same thing.
(2) The form "Pn=Pn+ Blank" is not appropriate for a recursive formula. In fact, if that form is correct, then "Blank" is 0.
(3) The form "Pn= N+" is not appropriate for an explicit formula.
Since the number sold in week 1 is P(0), the number sold in week (n+1) is P(n).
Part 1 -- recursive formula
The recursive formula for the number sold in week (n+1) tells the number sold as a function of the number sold in week n. The number sold in week n is P(n-1); and since the number sold increases by the same number 8 in each week, the recursive formula for the number sold in week (n+1) is
P(n)=P(n-1)+8
Part 2 -- explicit formula
The explicit formula for the number sold in week (n+1) is a linear equation in the form
y=mx+b
or, in this problem,
P(n)=mn+b
Since the number sold increases by 8 each week, m=8; and since P(0)=7, b=7 and the formula is
P(n)=8n+7
Part 3 -- number sold in week 6
The number sold in week 6 is
P(5) = 8(5)+7 = 47

Question 1204074: Given that A:B = 2:3, B:C=3:1, C:D=4:5, D:E = 2:1 and A+B+C+D+E = 18900. What is the value of E?

All the cross multiplying in the solution from the other tutor seems like far more work than is necessary to solve the problem.
It seems to me the easiest way to solve the problem is to combine the given ratios into a single ratio comparing all 5 quantities, scaling the ratio up where necessary to keep the ratio in whole numbers.
A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 3:1 gives us
A:B:C = 2:3:1 [1]
C:D = 4:5, so scale [1] up to make C=4:
A:B:C = 8:12:4
Then A:B:C = 8:12:4 and C:D = 4:5 gives us
A:B:C:D = 8:12:4:5 [2]
D:E = 2:1; scale both this and [2] up to where D is a whole number in both ratios:
A:B:C:D = 16:24:8:10 and D:E = 10:5 gives us
A:B:C:D:E = 16:24:8:10:5 [3]
Now we have a single ratio statement relating all 5 numbers, so we can solve the problem knowing that the sum of the five numbers is 18900.
Using the extended ratios we have found...
A = 16x
B = 24x
C = 8x
D = 10x
E = 5x
A+B+C+D+E = 16x+24x+8x+10x+5x = 63x = 18900
x = 18900/63 = 300
ANSWER: E = 5x = 5(300) = 1500
Answer by math_tutor2020(3817) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
D:E = 2:1
D/E = 2/1
D/E = 2
D = 2E
C:D = 4:5
C/D = 4/5
5C = 4D ...... cross multiply
5C = 4(2E) .... plug in D = 2E
5C = 8E
C = 8E/5
B:C = 3:1
B/C = 3/1
B/C = 3
B = 3C
B = 3*(8E/5) ...... plug in C = 8E/5
B = 24E/5
A:B = 2:3
A/B = 2/3
3A = 2B ...... cross multiply
A = (2/3)*B
A = (2/3)*(24E/5) ...... plug in B = 24E/5
A = 16E/5
Each block of steps shown above has us isolate variables A, B, C, and D such that E is the only variable on the right hand side.
A = 16E/5
B = 24E/5
C = 8E/5
D = 2E
This will allow us to do substitutions in the next set of steps to let us solve for E.
A+B+C+D+E = 18900
16E/5+24E/5+8E/5+2E+E = 18900
5*(16E/5+24E/5+8E/5+2E+E) = 5*18900
16E+24E+8E+10E+5E = 94500
63E = 94500
E = 94500/63
E = 1500
Use this to find the other variables
A = 16E/5 = 16*1500/5 = 4800
B = 24E/5 = 24*1500/5 = 7200
C = 8E/5 = 8*1500/5 = 2400
D = 2E = 2*1500 = 3000
To summarize
A = 4800
B = 7200
C = 2400
D = 3000
E = 1500
I'll let the student verify each of those values.

There are 18 questions in a math competition. The scores of each question are allotted
in the following ways: 1 mark will be given for a correct answer, 1 mark will be deducted
 for a wrong answer and 0 mark will be given for a blank answer.
find the minimum number of candidate(s) to ensure that 3 candidates will have the same scores in the competition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First, the set of possible scores is the set of all integer numbers from -18 to 18
{ -18, -17, -16, . . . , 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . 16, 17, 18 }.
It is so because for all 18 correct answer the score is 18;
for 17 correct and 1 blank the score is 17;
for 16 correct and 2 blank the score is 16, same as for 17 correct and 1 incorrect;
for 15 correct and 3 blank the score is 15;
and so on till 18 incorrect, which gives the score -18.
Thus we have 18 + 18 + 1 = 37 possible different scores.
In order to ensure that 3 candidates will have the same scores in the competition,
2*37 + 1 = 75 candidates should participate (according to the pigeon principle).
ANSWER. In order to ensure that 3 candidates will have the same scores in the competition,
minimum 75 candidates should participate.

indicated that they have taken time off work due to personal mental health conditions.
a) Are the proportions of Canadians who take time off work due to personal mental
health issue in 2010 is different than the proportion in 1990? Use α = 0.1. Use the
critical value approach.
b) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference in proportions
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! i used the two sample z-score proportion calculator at https://www.socscistatistics.com/tests/ztest/default2.aspx to solve this.
the results are shown below:
calcuator says test alpha = .00086 which is significantly less than the critical alpha of .10.
this indicates the results are significant, meaning that the sample difference is more then likely real and not just a result of random differences in sample proportions.
the conclusion is that the proportions between 1990 and 2010 have changed, meaning that the different sample proportions are not due to random variations in sample proportions.
i checked the results manually and they agree with the calculator results that indicates the results are significant by a wide margin.

Question 1203708: Could adding a dash of pizzazz, like the promise of free pizza, turn our questionnaires
into must-respond treasures? In our zany experiment, we mailed out 100 straightforward questionnaires with no extra perks and got 65 responses. Then, we sent 98
questionnaires offering the tantalizing reward of a free pizza, and we received 78 replies.
Does this intriguing data suggest that adding incentives like free pizza might be the key
to turning our questionnaires into real page-turners (i.e., the proportion of responses
are more when offered free pizza)? Use α = 0.05
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you want to test whether adding a dish of pizzazz gets more replies or whether the sample differences are due to random variations in different samples.
no pizzazz gets 65 out of 100 responses.
pizzazz gets 78 out of 98 responses.
p1 = 65/100 = .65.
p2 = 78/98 = .7959183673.
p0 = (65 + 78) / (100 + 98) = 143/198 = .7222222222.
1 - p0 = .2777777777.
z-score formula is:
z = (p1 - p2) / s
s = standard error.
s = sqrt(p0 * (1-p0) * (1/n1 + 1/n2))
n1 is sample size of sample 1.
n2 is sample size of sample 2.
s becomes equal to sqrt(.7222222222 * .2777777777 * (1/100 + 1/98)) = .0636654379.
z = (p1 - p2) / s becomes z = (.65 - .7959183673) / .0636654379 which is equal to -2.291955764.
the area to the left of that z-score of -2.291955764 is equal to .0109540673.
that's your test alpha.
it is less than your critical alpha of .05.
that makes the results of the test significant, which means that the sample results are most likely not due to random variations in sample proportions, but an actual difference.
the conclusion is that the use of pizzazz does generate greater response rates.
i used an online calculator and got the same results.

Tutor @mananth is mostly correct.
The only mistake is ∑(X²Y)= 875*28 is false
We cannot say ∑(X²Y) = ∑X²*∑Y because ∑(A*B) = ∑A*∑B isn't true.
Consider the small sets
A = {1,2,3}
B = {4,5,6}
They have these sums
∑A = 1+2+3 = 6
∑B = 4+5+6 = 15
Then,
C = A*B = pairwise multiplication
C = {1*4, 2*5, 3*6}
C = {4,10,18}
∑C = 4+10+18 = 32
But,
∑A*∑B = 6*15 = 90
which does not match with ∑C = 32
This is one counter-example to show why ∑A*∑B = ∑(A*B) is false.
This is how I would compute ∑(X²Y)
| x | y | x^2 | x^2y | | 8 | 1 | 64 | 64 | | 9 | 2 | 81 | 162 | | 10 | 3 | 100 | 300 | | 11 | 4 | 121 | 484 | | 12 | 5 | 144 | 720 | | 13 | 6 | 169 | 1014 | | 14 | 7 | 196 | 1372 |
I recommend using a spreadsheet.
Then we sum the items in the X²Y column:
64 + 162 + 300 + 484 + 720 + 1014 + 1372 = 4116
This value is not equal to the result of 875*28.
Therefore, ∑(X²Y) = 4116
