Refer to the values described below, then identify which of the following is most appropriate: discrete random variable, a. Responses to the survey question "How many pets do you have?" b. Exact heights of the next 100 babies born in a region c. Responses to the survey question "What is your eye color?" d. Exact foot length of humans e. Number of people in families a. Since the outcomes are b. Since the outcomes are countable, this is this is a discrete random variable. random variable.
Answer:
Exact heights of the next 100 babies born in a region.
Step-by-step explanation:
A discrete random variable involves two key factors ; discrete and randomness ; Hence, a discrete random variable should have a finite or countable Number of outputs or values. It should also stem from a random procedure. Here, the height of the next hundred babies is a random procedure as the next 100 babies in the region are unknown until Given birth too and as such all pregnant women have the chance of having their babies among. Since, we are dealing with exact height values which are countable (100), then we this is a discrete random variable.
21. Gabe Amodeo, a nuclear physicist, needs 80 liters of a 30% acid solution. He currently has a 20% solution and a 60%
solution. How many liters of each does he need make the needed 80 liters of 30% acid solution?
Gabe needs
liters of the 20% solution.
He also needs
liters of the 60% solution.
Let x be the amount (in liters) of 20% solution that Gabe uses, and y the amount (also in L) of the 60% solution.
He needs 80 L of 30% solution, so that
x + y = 80
0.20x + 0.60y = 0.30 (80) = 24
Solve for y in terms of x :
y = 80 - x
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x :
0.20x + 0.60 (80 - x) = 24
0.20x + 48 - 0.60x = 24
24 = 0.40x
x = 60
Solve for y :
y = 80 - 60
y = 20
Engineers are designing a large elevator that will accommodate 44 people. The maximum weight the elevator can hold safely is 8228 pounds. According to the National Health Statistics Reports, the weights of adult U.S. men have mean 186 pounds and standard deviation 60 pounds, and the weights of adult U.S. women have mean 157 pounds and standard deviation 69 pounds.
a. If 44 people are on the elevator, and their total weight is 8228 pounds, what is their average weight?
b. If a random sample of 44 adult men ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?
c. If a random sample of 44 adult women ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?
Answer:
a) Their average weight is of 187 pounds.
b) 0.4562 = 45.62% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded.
c) 0.002 = 0.2% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
a. If 44 people are on the elevator, and their total weight is 8228 pounds, what is their average weight?
8228/44 = 187
Their average weight is of 187 pounds.
b. If a random sample of 44 adult men ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?
For men, we have that [tex]\mu = 186, \sigma = 60[/tex]
Sample of 44 means that [tex]n = 44, s = \frac{60}{\sqrt{44}}[/tex]
This probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 187. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{187 - 186}{\frac{60}{\sqrt{44}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.11[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.11[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5438.
1 - 0.5438 = 0.4562
0.4562 = 45.62% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded.
c. If a random sample of 44 adult women ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?
For women, we have that [tex]\mu = 157, \sigma = 69[/tex]
Sample of 44 means that [tex]n = 44, s = \frac{69}{\sqrt{44}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{187 - 157}{\frac{69}{\sqrt{44}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.88[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.998.
1 - 0.998 = 0.002.
0.002 = 0.2% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded

You are interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the average commute that non-residential students have to their college. The data below show the number of commute miles for 12 randomly selected non-residential college students. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible.
Answer:
(11.847 ; 15.813)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 12 samples which are :
8, 20, 20, 11, 18, 12, 6, 5, 7, 22, 12, 25
We use a T-distribution to find the confidence interval since the sample size. is small, n < 30
Using a calculator :
The sample mean, xbar = 13.83
Sample standard deviation, s = 6.87
The confidence interval, C.I
C.I = xbar ± Tcritical * s/√n)
Tcritical at 95%, df = n - 1, 12 - 1 = 11
Tcritical(0.05, 11) = 2.20
Hence,
C.I = 13.83 ± 2.20(6.87/√12)
C.I = 13.83 ± 1.9831981
C. I = (13.83 - 1.983 ; 13.83 + 1.983)
C. I = (11.847 ; 15.813)

If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 82% confidence interval to 25 points, how many students should the administrator sample
Answer:
The appropriate solution is "259".
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question,
[tex]\sigma = 300[/tex]
[tex]M.E=25[/tex]
At 82% CI,
[tex]\alpha = 0.18[/tex]
Critical value,
[tex]Z_c=1.341[/tex]
Now,
The sample size will be:
⇒ [tex]n=(Z_c\times \frac{\sigma}{E} )^2[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
[tex]=(1.341\times \frac{300}{25} )^2[/tex]
[tex]=(1.341\times 12)^2[/tex]
[tex]=259[/tex]

Matthew Travels 42/50 Meters In 26/30 Minutes. Find The Speed of Mathew In Meters Per Second.
Answer:
Matthew travels 0.0161 meters per second.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Matthew travels 42/50 meters In 26/30 minutes, to find the speed of Mathew in meters per second the following calculation must be performed:
42/50 = 0.84
26/30 = 0.86
0.86 x 60 = 52
0.84 meters in 52 seconds
0.84 / 52 = 0.01615
Therefore, Matthew travels 0.0161 meters per second.
You have 8 quarts of milk. You need 1.25 cups to make one serving of deep fried chicken. How many servings can you make?
Answer: 25.6 servings (partial serving) / 25 servings (whole serving)
Step-by-step explanation:
Concepts:
As we can see from the question, there are two units applied. [Quarts] and [cups]; therefore, we need to do the unit conversion.
1 quart = 4 cups
Solve:
Step one: Convert quarts into cups
1 quart = 4 cups8 quarts = 4 × 8 = 32 cupsStep two: Divide the cups to find the number of servings
32 cups / 1.25 cups = 25.6 servings**Disclaimer** I am not sure about the rules that you apply in mathematics. Here, the answer is not an integer. I am concerned whether you would allow partial servings. In my understanding, the servings shall be a whole, thus should be rounded. However, if you are fine with decimals, then you have the choice.
Hope this helps!! :)

The graph below shows a company's profit f(x), in dollars, depending on the price of pencils x, in dollars, sold by the company.
Part A: What do the x-intercepts and maximum value of the graph represent? What are the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing, and what do they represent about the sale and profit? (4 points)
Part B: What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x = 2 to x = 5, and what does this rate represent? (3 points)
Part C: Describe the constraints of the domain. (3 points)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
The x-intercept are the values of the variable "x" for which the value of the function, f(x) is zero (f(x) = 0)
The given parameters are;
The values of the function, f(x) = The company's profit
The values of the independent variable, "x" = The price of erasers
Therefore, at the x-intercept, where the values of the variable "x" are 0 and 8, the profit of the company, (f(x)) is 0 (the company does not make any profit)
2) The maximum value, which is the highest point of the graph with coordinate (4, 270), gives the company's maximum profit, f(x) = $270, and the price of the eraser, x-value, at which the company makes maximum profit which is at the price of an eraser, x = $4
3) The intervals where the function is increasing is 0 ≤ x ≤ 4
At the interval where the function is increasing, the sale price is increasing and the profits are increasing
The intervals where the function is decreasing is 4 ≤ x ≤ 8
At the interval where the function is decreasing, the sale price is increasing and the profits are decreasing
Part B
The appropriate average rate of change of the graph from x = 1 to x = 4 where f(x) = 120 and 270 respectively is given as follows
Rate of change of the graph from x = 1 to x = 4 is (270 -120)/(4 - 1) = 50
The average rate of change of the graph represents that the as the price of the eraser increases by $1.00 the profits increases by $50.00

Find the length of the missing side. triangle with an 8 inch side and 12 inch side with a right angle 8.9 in. 104 in. 4 in 14.4 in
Given:
In a triangle, length of one side is 8 inches and length of another side is 12 inches, and an angle is a right angle.
To find:
The length of the missing side.
Solution:
In a right angle triangle,
[tex]Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2[/tex]
Suppose the measures of sides adjacent to the right angle are 8 inches and 12 inches.
Substituting Perpendicular = 8 inches and Base = 12 inches, we get
[tex]Hypotenuse^2=8^2+12^2[/tex]
[tex]Hypotenuse^2=64+144[/tex]
[tex]Hypotenuse^2=208[/tex]
Taking square root on both sides, we get
[tex]Hypotenuse=\sqrt{208}[/tex]
[tex]Hypotenuse=14.422205[/tex]
[tex]Hypotenuse\approx 14.4[/tex]
The length of the missing side is 14.4 inches. Therefore, the correct option is D.

From a random sample of 20 bars selected at random from those produced, calculations gave a mean weight of = 52.46 grams and standard deviation of s = 0.42 grams. Assuming t distribution is followed, construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean weight of bars produced, giving the limits to two decimal places.
Answer:
(52.30 ; 52.62)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Sample size, n = 20
Mean, xbar = 52.46
Standard deviation, s = 0.42
We assume a t - distribution
The 90% confidence interval
The confidence interval relation :
C.I = xbar ± Tcritical * s/√n
To obtain the Tcritical value :
Degree of freedom, df = n - 1 ; 20 - 1 = 19 ; α = (1 - 0.90) /2 = 0.1/2 = 0.05
Using the T-distribution table, Tcritical = 1.729
We now have :
C.I = 52.46 ± (1.729 * 0.42/√20)
C. I = 52.46 ± 0.1624
C.I = (52.30 ; 52.62)
Find the area of the triangle which the line 2x – 3y +6=0 forms with the coordinate axis.
2x-3y+6=0 has an x intercept of 2 and a y intercept of -3.
That means the 2 sides of the right triangle are 2 and -3
Area of triangle= 1/2×base×height
= 1/2×-3×2
=-3
∴ Area of the triangle=-3
The area of the asked triangle is 3 sq units.
What is area?Area is defined as the total space taken up by a flat (2-D) surface or shape of an object.
Given that, a triangle is formed by the line 2x – 3y +6=0 and the coordinate axis.
When we plot the graph of the line, we get, y-intercept = 2 and x-intercept = -3
Hence, the height and base of the triangle will be 2 and 3 respectively.
Area of a triangle = 1/2 (base) (height)
Area = 1/2 (2)(3)
Area = 3
Hence, the area of the asked triangle is 3 sq units.
