Show that each conjecture is false by finding a counterexample.


1.For any integer n, n3 > 0.


2. Each angle in a right triangle has a different measure.


3.For many years in the U.S, each bank printed its own currency. The variety of different bills led to widespread counterfeiting. By the time of the Civil War, a significant fraction of the currency in circulation was counterfeit. If one soldier had 48 bills, 16 of which were counterfeit, and another soldier had 39 bills, 13 of which were counterfeit, make a conjecture about what fraction of bills were counterfeit at the time of the Civil War.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.   [tex]n: n^3 > 0[/tex] is not true for negative integers

2.  [tex]45\ and\ 45[/tex] show that all angles do not have different measure

3.  [tex]Fraction = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (1):

[tex]n: n^3 > 0[/tex]

Take

[tex]n = -1[/tex]

[tex]-1^3 = -1[/tex]

[tex]n: n^3 > 0[/tex] is not true for negative integers

Solving (2):

The angles of a right angled triangle are:

[tex]45, 45\ and\ 90[/tex]

[tex]45\ and\ 45[/tex] show that all angles do not have different measure

Solving (3):

When

[tex]Bills = 48[/tex]

[tex]Counterfeit = 16[/tex]

The fraction is calculated as thus:

[tex]Fraction = \frac{Counterfeit}{Bills}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{16}{48}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Similarly, when

[tex]Bills = 39[/tex]

[tex]Counterfeit = 13[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{Counterfeit}{Bills}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{13}{39}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Restless Leg Syndrome and Fibromyalgia
People with restless leg syndrome have a strong urge to move their legs to stop uncomfortable sensations. People with fibromyalgia suffer pain and tenderness in joints throughout the body. A recent study indicates that people with fibromyalgia are much more likely to have restless leg syndrome than people without the disease. The study indicates that, for people with fibromyalgia, the probability is 0.33 of having restless leg syndrome, while for people without fibromyalgia, the probability is 0.03. About 2% of the population has fibromyalgia. Create a tree diagram from this information and use it to find the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia is 0.183.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

F = a person with fibromyalgia

R = a person having restless leg syndrome

The information provided is as follows:

P (R | F) = 0.33

P (R | F') = 0.03

P (F) = 0.02

Consider the tree diagram attached below.

Compute the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia as follows:

[tex]P(F|R)=\frac{P(R|F)P(F)}{P(R|F)P(F)+P(R|F')P(F')}[/tex]

            [tex]=\frac{(0.33\times 0.02)}{(0.33\times 0.02)+(0.03\times 0.98)}\\\\=\frac{0.0066}{0.0066+0.0294}\\\\=0.183333\\\\\approx 0.183[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia is 0.183.

Aging workers of the Neotropical termite, Neocapritermes taracua, develop blue crystal containing glands ("backpacks") on their backs, When they fight intruding termites and are hampered, these "blue" termites explode, and the glands spew a sticky liquid (Sobotnik et al. 2012). The following data are from an experiment that measured the toxicity of the blue substance. A single drop of the liquid extracted from blue termites was placed on individuals of a second termite species, Labiotermes labralis, and the number that were immobilized (dead or paralyzed) within 60 minutes was recorded. The frequency of this outcome was compared with a control treatment in which liquid from glands of "white" termites lacking the blue crystals was dropped instead.
Is the blue liquid toxic compared to liquid from white termites?
Liquid source Unharmed Immobilized
Blue workers 3 37
White workers 31 9

Answers

Answer:

Yes blue liquid is toxic

Step-by-step explanation:

H0: p1 = p2

H1: p1>p2

For blue

We calculate proportion as

37/40 = 0.925

For white

9/40 = 0.2250

To get p

(X1 + x2)/(n1 + n2)

= 0.5750

After calculating the z as statistic (please check attachment) I got 6.33

P value = 0.0000

We reject null hypothesis and say in conclusion that enough evidence exists for us to say blu liquid is toxic!

The two types of instruction (standard curriculum, computer-based curriculum) were randomly assigned to the four sections in each of the three schools. At the end of the term, a standard mathematics achievement test was given to each of the 24 students in each section.
a. Is this study experimental, observational, or mixed experimental and observational? Why?
b. Identify important factors, factor levels, and/or factor-level combinations.
c. Classify these factors as within- or between-subjects
d. what’s the dependent measures?
e. What is the basic experiment unit of study?

Answers

Answer:

Given that;

There are three high schools, each having four sections of every 24 students

the 2 types of instructions are Standard curriculum  & computer based curriculum

a)

this study is experimental

this is because the study did not just observe the student's performance but randomly assign the performance to different techniques that have some certain control over the technique of teaching and then observe their performance afterwards

b)

-important  factors are; high schools, instruction type and scores

- Highschool has 2 levels: level one there are three high schools,  level 2 each having four sections of every 24 students

-instruction type: has one level which is  divided into two namely; standard base and computer based

Scores: doesn't have levels

c)

there are 3 schools and 4 sections  so the factor high school has between subjects components

factor instruction type also has between subjects because there are two different types available

there are 24 students in each section which are within subjects

d)

the score on the test  is the dependent measures

e)

“STUDENT” in each section is he basic experiment unit of study

Step-by-step explanation:

The weekly demand function for x units of a product sold by only one firm is
p = 800 − 0.5x dollars, and the average cost of production and sale is C(with a line on top) = 300 + 2x dollars.

(a) Find the quantity that will maximize profit.

(b) Find the selling price at this optimal quantity.

(c) What is the maximum profit?

Answers

Answer:

a) x = 798   is the quantity that maximizes the profit

b)po(x) = 401 $/unit

c)P(max ) = 636105 $

Step-by-step explanation:

The weekly demand function is equal to the price by unit and the Revenue function is weekly demand times quantity of units then:

R(x) = p(x) * x

R(x) = ( 800 - 0,5*x ) * x

R(x) = 800*x - 0,5*x²

The equation for the profit is:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = 800*x - 0,5*x² - ( 300 + 2*x)

P(x) = 798*x - 0,5*x² - 300

a) P(x) = 798*x - 0,5*x² - 300

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation:

P´(x) = 798 - x

If P´(x) = 0     then    798 - x = 0

x = 798   is the quantity that maximizes the profit

b) Selling price for the optimal quantity is:

p(x) = 800 - 0,5*x

p(x) = 800 - 0,5* 798

po (x) = 800 - 399

po(x) = 401 $/unit

c) Pmax = ?

P(x) = 798*x - 0,5*x² - 300    by subtitution of  x = 798

P(max) = 636804 - 399 - 300

P(max ) = 636105 $

a) The quantity that will maximize profit is [tex]100 \ units[/tex].

b) The selling of at this optimal quantity is [tex]\[/tex][tex]750[/tex] per unit.

c) So, the maximum profit is [tex]\[/tex][tex]25000[/tex].

Demand Function:

A demand function is a mathematical equation that expresses the demand for a product or service as a function of its price and other factors such as the prices of the substitutes and complementary goods, income, etc.

The given demand function,

[tex]P=800-\frac{1}{2}x[/tex]

So, the revenue function is,

[tex]R(x)=p.x\\R(x)=800-x-\frac{1}{2}x^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex]Average cost is

[tex]\bar{C}=300+2x[/tex]

So, the total cost function is,

[tex]C\left ( x \right )=\bar{C}.x \\ C\left ( x \right )=300x+2x^{2}[/tex]

a) Profit function:

[tex]P\left ( x \right )=R\left ( x \right )-C\left ( x \right ) \\ =800x-\frac{1}{2}x^{2}-300x-2x^{2} \\ P\left ( x \right )=500x-\frac{5}{2}x^{2}[/tex]

For maximum,

[tex]{P}'\left ( x \right )=0 \\ 500\left ( 1 \right )-\frac{5}{2}\left ( 2x \right )=0 \\ 500-5x=0 \\ x=100[/tex]

b) Selling Price:

[tex]P=800-\frac{1}{2}x \\ at \ x=100 \\ P=800-\frac{1}{2}\left ( 100 \right ) \\ =\$ 750[/tex]

c) Maximum Profit:

[tex]P\left ( x \right )=500x-\frac{5}{2}x^{2} \\ P\left ( 100 \right )=500\left ( 100 \right )-\frac{5}{2}\left ( 100 \right )^{2} \\ P\left ( 100 \right )=\$ 25000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an alternating p-series.  It is absolutely convergent if│an│converges.  1 / nᵖ⁺³ converges if the exponent is greater than 1.

p + 3 > 1

p > -2

The series is conditionally convergent if │an│diverges.  1 / nᵖ⁺³ diverges if the exponent is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1.

0 < p + 3 ≤ 1

-3 < p ≤ -2

Combining these two, we get p > -3.
