Assume that blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 117and a standard deviation of 6.4.If 64people are randomly​ selected, find the probability that their mean blood pressure will be less than 119.Round to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.9938

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find this probability using a test statistic.

The test statistic to use is the z-scores

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD/√n

from the question, x = 119 , mean = 117 , SD = 6.4 and n = 64

Plugging these values in the z-score equation above, we have;

z-score = (119-117)/6.4/√64

z-score = 2/6.4/8

z-score = 2.5

The probability we want to find is;

P(z < 2.5)

we can get this value from the standard normal distribution table

Thus; P(z < 2.5) = 0.99379

Which to four decimal places = 0.9938

Answers

First find the critical points of f :

[tex]f(x,y)=2x^2+3y^2-4x-5=2(x-1)^2+3y^2-7[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2(x-1)=0\implies x=1[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=6y=0\implies y=0[/tex]

so the point (1, 0) is the only critical point, at which we have

[tex]f(1,0)=-7[/tex]

Next check for critical points along the boundary, which can be found by converting to polar coordinates:

[tex]f(x,y)=f(10\cos t,10\sin t)=g(t)=295-40\cos t-100\cos^2t[/tex]

Find the critical points of g :

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dt}=40\sin t+200\sin t\cos t=40\sin t(1+5\cos t)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies\sin t=0\text{ OR }1+5\cos t=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies t=n\pi\text{ OR }t=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)+2n\pi\text{ OR }t=-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)+2n\pi[/tex]

where n is any integer. We get 4 critical points in the interval [0, 2π) at

[tex]t=0\implies f(10,0)=155[/tex]

[tex]t=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)\implies f(-2,4\sqrt6)=299[/tex]

[tex]t=\pi\implies f(-10,0)=235[/tex]

[tex]t=2\pi-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)\implies f(-2,-4\sqrt6)=299[/tex]

So f has a minimum of -7 and a maximum of 299.

Answers

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{8}{\pi}[/tex] .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the rate of change of function f(x) from x=a to x= b is given by :-

[tex]k=\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

The given points on graph  :  (0, -4) and (pi over 2, 0) and (pi, 4) and (3 pi over 2, 0) and (2 pi, -4).

The rate of change from x = 0 to x = pi over 2 will be :-

[tex]\dfrac{0-(-4)}{\dfrac{\pi}{2}-0}=\dfrac{4}{\dfrac{\pi}{2}}[/tex]     [By using points (0, -4) and (pi over 2, 0) ]

[tex]=\dfrac{8}{\pi}[/tex]

Hence, the rate of change from x = 0 to x = pi over 2 is [tex]\dfrac{8}{\pi}[/tex] .

Consider the given vertices of triangle are A(-3,-3), B(-3,2) and C(1,2).

Distance formula:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Using distance formula, we get

[tex]AB=\sqrt{(-3-(-3))^2+(2-(-3))^2}[/tex]

[tex]AB=\sqrt{(0)^2+(5)^2}[/tex]

[tex]AB=\sqrt{25}[/tex]

[tex]AB=5[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]BC=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(2-2)^2}=4[/tex]

[tex]AC=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(2-(-3))^2}=\sqrt{16+25}=\sqrt{41}[/tex]

From the above calculation it is clear that AC>AB and AC>BC.

According to Pythagoras theorem, in a right angle triangle, the square of largest side is equal to the sum of squares of two small sides.

[tex]hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2[/tex]

[tex]AC^2=(\sqrt{41})^2=41[/tex]

[tex]AB^2+BC^2=(5)^2+4^2=24+16=41=AC^2[/tex]

So, given triangle is a right angle triangle and AC is its hypotenuse.

Therefore, the correct options are 2, 5 and 7.

Answers

Answer:

D. [tex]f(x) = 2\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Any parabola is modelled by a second-order polynomial, whose standard form is:

[tex]y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c[/tex]

Where:

[tex]x[/tex] - Independent variable, dimensionless.

[tex]y[/tex] - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

[tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], [tex]c[/tex] - Coefficients, dimensionless.

In addition, a system of three linear equations is constructed by using all known inputs:

(-2, 0)

[tex]4\cdot a -2\cdot b + c = 0[/tex] (Eq. 1)

(4, 0)

[tex]16\cdot a + 4\cdot b +c = 0[/tex] (Eq. 2)

(0,-16)

[tex]c = -16[/tex] (Eq. 3)

Then,

[tex]4\cdot a - 2\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 4)

[tex]16\cdot a + 4\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 5)

(Eq. 3 in Eqs. 1 - 2)

[tex]a - 0.5\cdot b = 4[/tex] By Eq. 4 (Eq. 4b)

[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot b[/tex]

Then,

[tex]16\cdot (4+0.5\cdot b) + 4\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 4b in Eq. 5)

[tex]64 + 12\cdot b = 16[/tex]

[tex]12\cdot b = -48[/tex]

[tex]b = -4[/tex]

The remaining coeffcient is:

[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot b[/tex]

[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot (-4)[/tex]

[tex]a = 2[/tex]

The function that represents a parabola with zeroes at x = -2 and x = 4 and y-intercept (0,16) is [tex]f(x) = 2\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -16[/tex]. Thus, the right answer is D.

Does this system have a solution?

Answers

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Write out systems of equations

-x + 3y = 3

x - 3y = 3

Step 2: Rewrite equations into slope-intercept form

3y = 3 + x

y = 1 + x/3

-3y = 3 - x

y = -1 + x/3

Step 3: Rewrite systems of equations

y = x/3 + 1

y = x/3 - 1

Since we have the same slope for both equations but different y-intercepts, we know that both lines are parallel. If that is the case, they will never touch or intersect each other. Therefore, we have no solution.

On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. On Sunday, how many pounds of cheesecake does Megan have left?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start with 12 pounds

On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.

On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.

On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15

On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.

On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.

On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.

On Sunday, she finally has 3 pounds.

If 8 residents of this city are selected at random, find the probability that the first 2 are 65 or older, the next 3 are 25-44 years old, the next 2 are 24 or younger, and the last is 45-64 years old.

Answers

Answer:

0.000014

Step-by-step explanation:

The chart is not provided so i will use an example chart to explain the answer. Here is a sample chart:

City X's Population by Age

0-24 years old 33%

25-44 years old 22%

45-64 years old 21%

65 or older 24%

In order to find probability of independent events we find the probability of each event occurring separately and then multiply the calculated probabilities together in the following way:

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

probability that the first 2 are 65 or older

Let A be the event that the first 2 are 65 or older

The probability of 65 or older 24% i.e. 0.24

So the probability that first 2 are 65 or older is:

0.24(select resident 1) * 0.24(select resident 2)

P(A) = 0.24 * 0.24

       = 0.0576

P(A) = 0.0576

probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old

Let B be the event that the next 3 are 25-44 years old

25-44 years old 22%  i.e. 0.22

So the probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old is:

0.22 * 0.22* 0.22

P(B) = 0.22 * 0.22 * 0.22

      = 0.010648

P(B) = 0.010648

probability that next 2 are 24 or younger

Let C be the event that the next 2 are 24 or younger

0-24 years old 33% i.e. 0.33

So the probability that the next 2 are 24 or younger is:

0.33 * 0.33

P(C) = 0.33 * 0.33

       = 0.1089

P(C) = 0.1089

probability that last is 45-64 years old

Let D be the event that last is 45-64 years old

45-64 years old 21%  i.e. 0.21

So the probability that last is 45-64 years old is:

0.21

P(D) = 0.21

So probability of these independent events is computed as:

P(A and B and C and D) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C) * P(C)

                                        = 0.0576 * 0.010648  * 0.1089  * 0.21

                                        = 0.000014

A study of 200 computer service firms revealed these incomes after taxes: Income After Taxes Number of Firms Under $1 million 102 $1 million up to $20 million 61 $20 million or more 37 What is the probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes is 49%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a study of 200 computer service firms revealed these incomes after taxes below;

         Income After Taxes                  Number of Firms

           Under $1 million                              102

      $1 million up to $20 million                    61

           $20 million or more                          37      

                 Total                                           200    

Now, the probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes is given by;

Total number of firms = 102 + 61 + 37 = 200

Number of firms having $1 million or more in income after taxes = 61 + 37 = 98  {here under $1 million data is not include}

So, the required probability =  [tex]\frac{\text{Firms with \$1 million or more in income after taxes}}{\text{Total number of firms}}[/tex]

                                           =  [tex]\frac{98}{200}[/tex]

                                           =  0.49 or 49%

The probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes is 0.49 or 49%.

What is probability?

Probability means possibility. It deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value of probability can only be from 0 to 1. Its basic meaning is something is likely to happen. It is the ratio of the favorable event to the total number of events.

A study of 200 computer service firms revealed these incomes after taxes:

Income After Taxes Number of Firms Under

$1 million 102

$1 million up to $20 million 61

$20 million or more 37.

Then the total event will be

Total event = 102 + 37 +61 = 200

The probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes will be

Favorable event = 37 + 61 = 98

Then the probability will be

[tex]\rm P = \dfrac{98}{200} \\\\P = 0.49 \ or \ 49 \%[/tex]

Sherina wrote and solved the equation. x minus 56 = 230. x minus 56 minus 56 = 230 minus 56. x = 174. What was Sherina’s error?

Answers

Answer:

  subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)

Step-by-step explanation:

She wrote ...

  x - 56 = 230

  x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*

  x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification

Correctly done, the third line would be ...

  x -112 = 174

This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...

  x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality

  x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides

__

There were two errors:

  1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding

  2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112

We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.

_____

* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.

Answer:

D: Sherina should have added 56 to both sides of the equation.
