1. The distribution of weekly work hours for the population all of women in the US in the year
2018 was close to Normal with standard deviation 13.25 hours. Suppose a SRS of 711 women gave a sample mean of 38.15 weekly work hours.
(a) Determine a 95% confidence interval for the average weekly work hours of women in 2018
(b) Suppose one of your classmates wrote the following conclusion about their confidence interval
from (c):
"We are 95% confident that a woman's weekly work hours in the year 2018 will fall within our
interval."
Explain why this statement is incorrect and how you would fix it.

Answers

Answer 1

Correctly reflects the interpretation of a confidence interval as a range of plausible values for the population mean.

(a) To determine a 95% confidence interval for the average weekly work hours of women in 2018, we can use the formula:

CI = X ± z*(σ/√n)

where X is the sample mean (38.15), σ is the population standard deviation (13.25), n is the sample size (711), and z* is the critical value from the standard Normal distribution that corresponds to a 95% confidence level.

Using a table or calculator, we find that z* = 1.96. Plugging in the values, we get:

CI = 38.15 ± 1.96*(13.25/√711) = (37.33, 38.97)

Therefore, we can be 95% confident that the true average weekly work hours of women in 2018 falls within the interval (37.33, 38.97).

(b) The statement "We are 95% confident that a woman's weekly work hours in the year 2018 will fall within our interval" is incorrect because it implies that we can make a statement about the individual weekly work hours of a single woman in 2018. However, confidence intervals are only valid for making statements about the population parameter (in this case, the population mean).

To fix the statement, we could rephrase it as "We are 95% confident that the true average weekly work hours of women in 2018 falls within our interval." This correctly reflects the interpretation of a confidence interval as a range of plausible values for the population mean.

point in rabbits, brown fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b) and short fur (H) is dominant to long fur (h). A brown. long-furred rabbit (Bbhh) is crossed with a white. short-furred rabbit (bbhh). Both the Band H traits assort independently from one another. What probability of the offspring will be brown with long fur?

Answers

The probability of the offspring being brown with long fur is 25%.

To determine the probability of offspring being brown with long fur from a cross between a brown, long-furred rabbit (Bbhh) and a white, short-furred rabbit (bbHh), we will use the terms dominant, recessive, and independent assortment.

Step 1: Set up the Punnett squares for each trait separately.
For fur color (B and b alleles):
Bb (brown, long-furred rabbit)×bb (white, short-furred rabbit)
Resulting in offspring genotypes:
Bb (brown fur)
Bb (brown fur)
bb (white fur)
bb (white fur)

For fur length (H and h alleles):
hh (brown, long-furred rabbit)×Hh (white, short-furred rabbit)
Resulting in offspring genotypes:
Hh (short fur)
Hh (short fur)
hh (long fur)
hh (long fur)

Step 2: Calculate the probabilities for each trait.
For brown fur: 2 out of 4 (50%)
For long fur: 2 out of 4 (50%)

Step 3: Calculate the combined probability.
Since both the B and H traits assort independently, we can multiply the probabilities of each trait occurring:
0.5 (brown fur) x 0.5 (long fur) = 0.25 (25%).

Students at Mendel middle school are planning a fair for their school’s fundraiser. Liam makes a poster for the fair. Maureen looks at the poster and says that the price per ticket decreases the more tickets a customer buys. Liam disagrees. Is Liam or Maureen correct? What is the y-intercept of the graph? Explain what it means in the problem situation.

Answers

Without additional information, we cannot determine whether Liam or Maureen is correct. However, we can answer the second question.

The y-intercept of the graph represents the price per ticket when no tickets are purchased. In other words, it is the value of the dependent variable (price per ticket) when the independent variable (number of tickets purchased) is zero.

If we assume that the price per ticket is a constant value regardless of the number of tickets purchased, then the y-intercept of the graph would be the price per ticket. For example, if the price per ticket is $5, then the y-intercept of the graph would be (0, 5). This means that if no tickets are purchased, the price per ticket is $5.

However, if the price per ticket decreases as more tickets are purchased, then the y-intercept of the graph would not represent the price per ticket. Instead, it would represent the minimum price per ticket when a large number of tickets are purchased. In this case, the y-intercept would not have a meaningful interpretation in terms of the problem situation.

Therefore, without additional information, we cannot determine the y-intercept of the graph or its interpretation in the problem situation.

a pizza parlor offers four sizes of pizza and 12 different toppings. a customer may choose any number of toppings (or no tipping at all). how many different pizzas does this parlor offer?

Answers

The pizza parlor offers 2^48, or approximately 281 trillion, different pizzas.

To calculate the total number of different pizzas offered, we need to consider all possible combinations of pizza sizes and toppings.

For each pizza size, there are 12 options for toppings (including no toppings). Therefore, the total number of pizzas for a single size is 2^12 (2 options for each of the 12 toppings). Since there are four different sizes, the total number of different pizzas offered by the parlor is:

2^12 x 2^12 x 2^12 x 2^12 = 2^(12+12+12+12) = 2^48

Thus, the pizza parlor offers 2^48, or approximately 281 trillion, different pizzas.

Solve the differential equation by variation of parameters. 4y'' − y = ex/2 8

Answers

The solution of the differential equation 4y'' − y = [tex] {e}^{x/2} [/tex] + 8 by variation of parameter method is y(x) = (15C - 16)[tex] {e}^{x/2} [/tex] + 15C' [tex] {ex}^{-x/2} [/tex]

To solve the differential equation by variation of parameters, we assume that the solution is of the form,

y(x) = u₁(x)y₁(x) + u₂(x)y₂(x), linearly independent solutions of the homogeneous equation are y₂(x) and y₂(x), and functions to be determined u₁(x) and u₂(x). The homogeneous equation associated with the given differential equation is,

4y'' - y = 0

The characteristic equation is,

4r² - 1 = 0 which has solutions r = ±1/2. Therefore, the general solution of the homogeneous equation is,

y(x) = C[tex] {e}^{x/2} [/tex] + C'[tex] {e}^{-x/2} [/tex]

C and C' are arbitrary constants.

Now, we need to find particular solutions of the non-homogeneous equation. We can guess that a particular solution has the form,

[tex] y_{p(x)} = A(x) {e}^{(x/2)} [/tex]

where A(x) is a function to be determined. We can find A(x) by substituting y_p(x) into the differential equation and solving for A(x). We have,

[tex] 4y_{p(x)} - y_{p(x)} = {e}^{(x/2)} +8 [/tex]

Differentiating twice and substituting these into the differential equation gives:

[tex]4( A"(x) + A'(x)) {e}^{2/y} 2 + \frac{A(x)}{4} - A(x) {e}^{(x/2)} = {e}^{(x/2)} + 8[/tex]

Simplifying and solving for A(x), we obtain,

A(x) = -16/15

Therefore, a particular solution of the differential equation is:

[tex]y_{p(x)} = \frac{ - 16}{15} {e}^{(x \div 2)} [/tex]

The general solution of the non-homogeneous equation is then,

y(x) = C[tex] {e}^{x/2} [/tex] + C'[tex] {e}^{-x/2} [/tex] [tex]\frac{ - 16}{15} {e}^{(x/2)} [/tex]

Simplifying and collecting terms, we get,

A quadratic equation has zeros at -6 and 2. Find standard form

Answers

The quadratic equation with zeros at -6 and 2 is y² + 4y - 12 = 0. This is in standard form, which is ax² + bx + c = 0, with a = 1, b = 4, and c = -12.

To find the quadratic equation with zeros at -6 and 2, we can start by using the fact that if a quadratic equation has roots x₁ and x₂, then it can be written in the form

(y - x₁)(y - x₂) = 0

where y is the variable in the quadratic equation.

Substituting the given values of the zeros, we get

(y - (-6))(y - 2) = 0

Simplifying this expression, we get

(y + 6)(y - 2) = 0

Expanding this expression, we get

y² - 2y + 6y - 12 = 0

Simplifying this expression further, we get

y² + 4y - 12 = 0

So the quadratic equation with zeros at -6 and 2 is

y² + 4y - 12 = 0

This is the standard form of a quadratic equation, which is

ax² + bx + c = 0

where a, b, and c are constants. In this case, a = 1, b = 4, and c = -12.

Answers

As per the given equation, the stone was dropped from a height of approximately 1.08 feet or about 13 inches.

The velocity of a free-falling object is an important concept in physics, and it is defined by the equation:

v = 2gh

In this equation, v represents the velocity of the object in feet per second, g represents the acceleration due to gravity in feet per second per second, and h represents the distance that the object has fallen in feet.

Suppose a stone is dropped from a certain height and strikes the water with a velocity of 138 feet per second. Our task is to estimate the height from which the stone was dropped.

To solve this problem, we need to rearrange the equation to solve for h. We start by dividing both sides of the equation by 2g:

h = v/2g

The hazard of exposure to radioactive chemicals is mitigated with 3 independent barriers. If only 1 barrier works, the exposure is prevented. The probability of each barrier to fail is 0.001 and the consequence of hazard exposure is 3000 cancer-deaths per year. Develop an event tree showing all branches and outcome. What is the probability of exposure. What is the risk (probability x consequence) due to the hazard?

Answers

The risk due to the hazard of exposure to radioactive chemicals is 6 cancer-deaths per year.  The probability of exposure is approximately 0.002. The event tree exposure with 1, 2, or 3 barriers failing, and no exposure if all 3 barriers work.

To calculate the probability of exposure and risk due to the hazard, we need to develop an event tree showing all the branches and outcomes.

The event tree for this scenario would look like this:

Barrier 1 fails (0.001 probability) -> Exposure -> 3000 cancer-deaths per year
Barrier 2 fails (0.001 probability) -> Barrier 1 works -> Exposure -> 3000 cancer-deaths per year
Barrier 3 fails (0.001 probability) -> Barrier 2 works -> Barrier 1 works -> Exposure -> 3000 cancer-deaths per year
All 3 barriers work -> No exposure -> No consequence

                               Start

                                |

                            Barrier 1

                           /     |     \

                    Fail (0.001)  |   Pass (0.999)

                      |            |

           Exposure    Barrier 2

(3000 cancer-deaths) /    |     \

                                    /     |     \

                      Barrier 2  |   Barrier 3

                     Fail (0.001)|   Pass (0.999)

                       |         |

                   Exposure  No exposure

            (3000 cancer-deaths)     |

                                   |

                              Barrier 3

                             Fail (0.001)

                               |

                            Exposure

                     (3000 cancer-deaths)


From this event tree, we can see that there are 4 possible outcomes: exposure with 1, 2, or 3 barriers failing, and no exposure if all 3 barriers work.

The probability of exposure can be calculated by adding up the probabilities of each branch that leads to exposure:
0.001 + (0.001 x 0.999) + (0.001 x 0.999 x 0.999) = 0.001997

Therefore, the probability of exposure is approximately 0.002 (or 0.2%).

To calculate the risk, we need to multiply the probability of exposure by the consequence:
0.002 x 3000 = 6

Therefore, the risk due to the hazard of exposure to radioactive chemicals is 6 cancer-deaths per year. However, it is important to continue to monitor and maintain these barriers to ensure their effectiveness and minimize the risk of exposure.

The table which contains only values that satisfy the equation of line defined as y = 0. 5x + 14, ( linear equation) is present in option(c). So, option(c) is right one.

We have a equation of line, y = 0.5x + 14, --(1) which is a equation of line . We have to recognise the table which satisfy the above line equation. The values are called roots of the equation. A value that is a solution of an equation is said to satisfy the equation, and the solutions of an equation create its solution set. The above table consists values of x and y, so we check which set of values form solution set of equation (1). Let x = 0 => y = 14 so, ( 0, 14) is solution of equation (1). Similarly, when x = 5

b. To compute the correlation between X1 and i/2X2 + 1/2X3, we first need to calculate the standard deviations of the variables:

σ1 = sqrt(4) = 2

σ2 = sqrt(9) = 3

σ3 = sqrt(25) = 5

Then, we can calculate the covariance between X1 and i/2X2 + 1/2X3:

cov(X1, i/2X2 + 1/2X3) = cov(X1, i/2X2) + cov(X1, 1/2X3)

= i/2 * cov(X1, X2) + 1/2 * cov(X1, X3)

Finally, we can compute the correlation using the formula:

corr(X1, i/2X2 + 1/2X3) = cov(X1, i/2X2 + 1/2X3) / (σ1 * σ2/2 + σ3/2)

= 1.5 / (2 * 3/2 + 5/2)

Find the dimensions of the rectangle with area 225 square inches that has minimum perimeter, and then find the minimum perimeter.
1. Dimensions: 2. Minimum perimeter: Enter your result for the dimensions as a comma separated list of two numbers. Do not include the units.

Answers

the dimensions of the rectangle are L = 15 inches and W = 15 inches, and the minimum perimeter is:    P = 2L + 2W = 60 inches.

Let the length and width of the rectangle be L and W, respectively, so that the area of the rectangle is A = LW = 225. We want to find the dimensions of the rectangle with minimum perimeter P = 2L + 2W, and then find the minimum perimeter.

Using the given area, we can solve for one of the variables in terms of the other:

L = 225/W

Substituting this expression for L into the expression for the perimeter, we get:

P = 2(225/W) + 2W

Taking the derivative of P with respect to W and setting it equal to zero to find the minimum, we get:

[tex]dP/dW = -450/W^2 + 2 = 0[/tex]

Solving for W, we get:

W^2 = 225

Since W must be positive (it is a length), we take the positive square root:

W = 15

Substituting this value of W back into the expression for L, we get:

L = 225/W = 15

How to write an equation to describe a proportional relationship

Answers

A proportional relationship is a type of linear relationship where the ratio of two variables is constant.

The number of hours studied (x) and the corresponding grade on a test (y) for a group of students. We observe that the grades are directly proportional to the number of hours studied. To write an equation to describe this proportional relationship, we can use the form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

To find the value of k, we can use any data point in the dataset. Let's say that when a student studies for 5 hours, they get a grade of 80. We can substitute these values into the equation:

[tex]80 = k[/tex] × [tex]5[/tex]

To solve for k, we can divide both sides by 5:

[tex]k = 80 / 5[/tex]

[tex]= 16[/tex]

Therefore, the equation to describe this proportional relationship is:

[tex]y = 16x[/tex]

This means that for every additional hour studied, the grade increases by 16 points.

H с Homework: 6.2 Homework Question 5, 6.2.11-T Construct the indicated confidence interval for the population mean y using the t-distribution. Assume the population is normally distributed. C= 0.98, *= 12.1, =0.95, n=15 (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Answers

We are 98% confident that the mean of the true population y lies between 10.8 and 13.4.

To construct the confidence interval, we first need to calculate the critical value of t using the given values of C and n. Since C = 0.98, we can find the level of significance as α = 1 - C = 0.02.

Using a t-table or calculator, the critical value of t for a two-tailed test with 14 degrees of freedom and

[tex]\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.01[/tex] is approximately 2.977.

Next, we can calculate the sample standard deviation as s = σ/√n = [tex]\frac{0.95}{\sqrt{15}}= 0.245[/tex].

Then, we can use the formula for a confidence interval for the population mean using the t-distribution:
(y ± t)×[tex]\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Substituting the given values, we get:


(12.1 ± 2.977)×[tex]\frac{0.245}{\sqrt{15}}[/tex]

Simplifying and rounding to one decimal place, we get the confidence interval: (10.8, 13.4)

Therefore, we are 98% confident that the true population mean y lies between 10.8 and 13.4.

Isabel is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices. Company A charges $90 and allows unlimited mileage. Company B has an initial fee of $75 and charges an additional $0. 60 for every mile driven. For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B? Use m for the number of miles driven, and solve your inequality for m

Answers

Therefore, if Isabel plans to drive inequality more than 25 miles, Company B will be more expensive than Company A. If she plans to drive 25 miles or less, Company A will be more expensive.

Let's start by setting up an inequality to represent the mileages for which Company A charges less than Company B.

For Company A, the cost is a flat fee of $90, regardless of the number of miles driven.

For Company B, the cost depends on the number of miles driven. The initial fee is $75, and then there is an additional charge of $0.60 for every mile driven. So, the total cost for Company B can be represented by the equation:

Cost(B) = 0.60m + 75

here m is the number of miles driven.

We want to find the mileages for which Company A charges less than Company B. In other words, we want to find the values of m for which:

Cost(A) < Cost(B)

Substituting in the expressions for the costs, we get:

90 < 0.60m + 75

Simplifying and solving for m, we get:

15 < 0.60m

25 < m

The three options with dimensions resulting in a surface area greater than 140 square feet are:

6 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet7 feet by 6 feet by 4 feet8 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet  

To determine whether the dimensions of a rectangular prism result in a surface area greater than 140 square feet, we can use the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism:

Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

    where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism, respectively.

Option 1: 6 feet by 2 feet by 3 feet

Surface Area = 2(6)(2) + 2(6)(3) + 2(2)(3) = 24 + 36 + 12 = 72 square feet

This option does not have a surface area greater than 140 square feet.

Option 2: 6 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet

Surface Area = 2(6)(5) + 2(6)(4) + 2(5)(4) = 60 + 48 + 40 = 148 square feet

This option has a surface area greater than 140 square feet.

Option 3: 7 feet by 6 feet by 4 feet

Surface Area = 2(7)(6) + 2(7)(4) + 2(6)(4) = 84 + 56 + 48 = 188 square feet

This option has a surface area greater than 140 square feet.

Option 4: 8 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet

Surface Area = 2(8)(3) + 2(8)(7) + 2(3)(7) = 48 + 112 + 42 = 202 square feet

This option has a surface area greater than 140 square feet.

Option 5: 8 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet

Surface Area = 2(8)(4) + 2(8)(3) + 2(4)(3) = 64 + 48 + 24 = 136 square feet

This option does not have a surface area greater than 140 square feet.

A factory
produces cylindrical metal bar. The production process can be
modeled by normal distribution with mean length of 11 cm and
standard deviation of 0.25 cm.
There is 14% chance that a randomly selected cylindrical metal bar has a length longer than K. What is the value of K?

Answers

To solve this problem, we need to find the z-score corresponding to the 14th percentile of the normal distribution. We can then use this z-score to find the corresponding value of K.

First, we find the z-score corresponding to the 14th percentile using a standard normal distribution table or calculator. The 14th percentile is equivalent to a cumulative probability of 0.14, which corresponds to a z-score of approximately -1.08.

Next, we use the formula z = (x - μ) / σ to find the corresponding value of K. Rearranging this formula, we get x = μ + z * σ. Plugging in the values we know, we get:

K = 11 + (-1.08) * 0.25
K = 10.73 cm

Therefore, there is a 14% chance that a randomly selected cylindrical metal bar has a length longer than 10.73 cm.

Answers

I)

[tex]~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad B(\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 3 +1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 9 +5}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 4 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 14 }{2} \right)\implies (2~~,~~7)[/tex]

II)

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the line AB

[tex](\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{9}-\stackrel{y1}{5}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{1}}} \implies \cfrac{ 4 }{ 2 } \implies 2 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill[/tex]

[tex]\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{ 2 \implies \cfrac{2}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{2} }}[/tex]

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/2 and it passes through (2 , 7)

How much does it take to cover the cylinder? How much does the cylinder contain?

Answers

How much does it take to cover the cylinder? is different from the rest, as it refers to the surface area of the cylinder, not its volume or capacity.

The term "cover" usually means to place something over the top or on the surface of something else, such as a lid covering a container.

In the context of a cylinder, "covering" would typically refer to finding the surface area of the cylinder, which includes both the top and bottom circles as well as the curved lateral surface.

In contrast, the other statements are related to the volume or capacity of the cylinder, which refers to how much space is contained inside the cylinder.

A Three-Point TurnChapter 1"You know, hardly anyone ever needs to do a three-point turn anymore," said Justin, trying to help Becky calm down."Oh, so it's not a useful skill AND I am probably going to fail the driving test because I can't do it anyway," Becky said, raising her voice for emphasis. "That should make me feel like a million bucks when I flunk."Justin was riding with Becky so she could take her driving test. He had volunteered for the job because he thought she would be less nervous with him than with their mom, but so far, he wasn't sure he was making any difference."Slow down, your turn is coming up here," he said, looking ahead."I know, I know," she replied, "I've been here before rememberthe last time I flunked."Justin was pretty sure if he had let her miss the turn, things would only have deteriorated further, but he wasn't sure he was fond of being the scapegoat for Becky's anxiety."Listen, you need to take a few deep breaths," he said, hoping he could help her at least relax a bit. "Being nervous won't help you with the three-point turn or anything else you have to do. Hey, did you just take that turn without your turn signal on?" This was going to be harder than he thought."Stop yelling at me," Becky replied, clearly frustrated, "I can't concentrate.""Look, you need to stop and get yourself together here," Justin started. "It is not just about passing the driving test. I don't want to get in an accident, so pull into that parking lot."Becky drove into the office building's parking lot where Justin was pointing. Justin knew they were less than a mile from the licensing office, and if she continued in this condition, he'd be having this same discussion three months from now when she tried the test again for the third time."You need to get a grip," he started after she put the car in park, "because you have studied and practiced driving all year. You know this stuff inside and out, backwards and forwards. What are you so nervous about?""I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing."Listening quietly as Becky sobbed, Justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. He also knew if he didn't find a way to help Becky things would just get worse.Chapter 2Justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-A student. It was Justin who got the bad grades in school, and Justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. It was Justin who wished he could get the grades Becky got. Some things came easier for Justin: He was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. Mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. But for the most part, Becky succeeded easily, whereas Justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade.Rather than having Becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed."Okay, Becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. What is the worst thing that could happen?" he asked."I would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. Justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan."Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?" he asked."Yes, but..." she started."And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?""Yes," she said quietly."So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?""I suppose not," she said.Justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "Besides," he said, "I would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm."Ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt.""So let's go do this, okay?"Okay," she said. Becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. Justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal.Using both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of "The Three-Point Turn," write a short essay explaining how Justin is able to convince Becky that flunking the driving test will not be all that bad.
