To evaluate whether or not the intake of a vitamin or mineral is adequate, comparisons are made between the intake distribution and the requirement distribution. Here is some information about the distribution of vitamin C intake, in milligrams per day, for women aged 19 to 30 years:

Percentile (mg/d)
Mean 1st 5th 19th 25th 50th 75th 90th 95th 99th
84.2 31 43 47 60 79 103 126 141 180

Use the 5th, the 50th, and the 95th percentiles of this distribution to estimate the mean (±0.01) and standard deviation (±0.01) of this distribution assuming that the distribution is Normal.

μ = _________
σ = _________

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Mean=79[/tex]

[tex]\sigma=30.3951.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

[tex]Age Bracket :19-20[/tex]

[tex]5th\ percentile = 42[/tex]  

[tex]50th\ percentile = 79[/tex]  

[tex]95th\ percentile = 142.[/tex]

Generally the mean Median and mode of the 50th percentile is are all equal

[tex]Mean=Median=Mode[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]Mean=79[/tex]

Generally for Normal distribution

[tex]5th\ percentile\ = mean - 1.645*\sigma[/tex]  

[tex]95th\ percentile\ = mean + 1.645*\sigma[/tex]

Therefore

[tex](95th\ percentile\ - 5th\ percentile) = 2*(1.645*SD).[/tex]

[tex]\sigma=(95th\ percentile\ - 5th\ percentile)/3.29[/tex]

[tex]\sigma=\frac{142-42}{3.29}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma=30.3951.[/tex]

  Tim is correct. 5/8 > 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

By taking 5/8 of the lasagna, Tim will be taking more than half (4/8) of it. No remaining share can be larger. Any remaining share will be 3/8 or less, so will be smaller than a 5/8 share.

Tim's 5/8 share is the largest.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a particular game show, there are 8 covered buckets and 2 of them contain a ball.
To win the game, a contestant must select both buckets that contain a ball. Find the
probability that a contestant wins the game if he/she gets to select 4 of the buckets.

Answers

Answer:

0.2143 = 21.43% probability that a contestant wins the game if he/she gets to select 4 of the buckets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The buckets are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

8 covered buckets, so N = 8.

4 buckets are selected, so n = 4.

2 contain a ball, which means that k = 2.

Find the probability that a contestant wins the game if he/she gets to select 4 of the buckets.

This is P(X = 2). So

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = h(2,8,4,2) = \frac{C_{2,2}*C_{6,2}}{C_{8,2}} = 0.2143[/tex]

0.2143 = 21.43% probability that a contestant wins the game if he/she gets to select 4 of the buckets.

how can i solve the following

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+3)=x-4

2*x+2*3=x-4

2x+6=x-4

2x-x=-4-6

x=-10

Answer:

[tex]x = - 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve:

[tex]2(x+3)=x−4[/tex]

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

[tex]2(x+3)=x−4 \\ (2)(x)+(2)(3)=x+−4(Distribute) \\ 2x+6=x+−4 \\ 2x+6=x−4[/tex]

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

[tex]2x+6−x=x−4−x \\ x+6=−4[/tex]

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

[tex]x+6−6=−4−6 \\ x=−10[/tex]

Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

[tex]\dfrac{14x^4y^6}{7x^8y^2}[/tex]

The numerator contains 14x⁴y⁶ and the denominator is 7x⁸y².

We can write it as :

[tex]\dfrac{14x^4y^6}{7x^8y^2}=\dfrac{7\times 2\times x^4\times y^2\times y^4}{7x^4\times x^4\times y^2}[/tex]

Canceling the common terms,

[tex]=\dfrac{2y^4}{x^4}[/tex]

So, the correct option is (A).

Area and circumference of this circle

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The radius is 6 cm

To find the area + circumference we need to use 2 formulas:

Area: pi* radius^2

Circumference: 2*pi*r

First we can do the area

I will use "pi" for pi instead of 3.14

pi * 6^2

= 36 pi

The area is 36 pi

Next, circumference

2 * pi *r

2*pi*6

= 12 pi

So the area is 36 pi, and the circumference is 12 pi

ou want to obtain a sample to estimate a population proportion. At this point in time, you have no reasonable estimate for the population proportion. You would like to be 99% confident that you esimate is within 0.1% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required

Answers

Answer: the required sample size =1658944

Step-by-step explanation:

When the prior population proportion for the study is unknown , then the formula for sample size is [tex]Sample \ size = 0.25(\dfrac{z^*}{Margin\ of \ error})^2[/tex]

z-value for 99% confidence = 2.576

[tex]Sample \ size = 0.25(\dfrac{2.576}{0.001})^2\\\\=0.25(2576)^2\\\\=1658944[/tex]

Which of the following correctly names a side of the triangle below?


A. ZC
B. B
С. АВ
D. AABC

Answers

Answer:

C. [tex]\frac{}{AB}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this in two ways, firstly by eliminating all the wrong answers, and secondly by just knowing that the horizontal line in [tex]_[/tex][tex]\frac{}{AB}[/tex] means that we are talking about a line.

This is how we solve this question by using the eliminating process.

(A. ∠C) is not the right answer because the ∠ sign lets us know that this answer represents an angle, not a line

(B. B) is not the right answer because it represent a point, not a line (in math we use a singular capital letter to represent points)

(D. ΔABC) is not the right answer because the Δ sign lets us know that the answer represents a triangle, not a line.

Therefore, the only option left is C. [tex]\frac{}{AB}[/tex]
