Answer:
The growth factor is approximately 0.11 or 11%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a 8-inch tall sunflower is planted in a garden and the height of the sunflower increases exponentially. 5 days after being planted the sunflower is 13.4805 inches tall.
We will use exponential growth formula to solve our given problem.
[tex]y=a\cdot (1+r)^x[/tex], where,
y = Final value,
a = Initial value,
r = Growth rate in decimal form,
x = Time.
Upon substituting initial value [tex]a=8[/tex], [tex]x=5[/tex] and [tex]y=13.4805[/tex], we will get:
[tex]13.4805=8\cdot(1+r)^5[/tex]
[tex]8\cdot(1+r)^5=13.4805[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8\cdot(1+r)^5}{8}=\frac{13.4805}{8}[/tex]
[tex](1+r)^5=\frac{13.4805}{8}[/tex]
Now, we will take 5th root of both sides of equation as:
[tex]\sqrt[5]{(1+r)^5} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{13.4805}{8}}[/tex]
[tex]1+r =\sqrt[5]{1.6850625}[/tex]
[tex]1+r =1.1100005724234515[/tex]
[tex]1-1+r =1.1100005724234515-1[/tex]
[tex]r=0.1100005724234515[/tex]
[tex]r\approx 0.11[/tex]
Therefore, the growth factor is approximately 0.11 or 11%.
The 5-day growth factor of the sunflower, which grows exponentially, is calculated by dividing the final height (13.4805 inches) by the initial height (8 inches) giving a growth factor of approximately 1.6850625.
Explanation:The 5-day growth factor of the sunflower that increases exponentially can be calculated by dividing the final height by the initial height. The formula is:
5-day growth factor = final height / initial height
To calculate the 5-day growth factor, we substitute the heights into the formula. We have:
5-day growth factor = 13.4805 inches (final height) / 8 inches (initial height)
So, 5-day growth factor = 1.6850625. This means that the height of the sunflower is multiplied by approximately 1.685 each day for 5 days, which accounts for the exponential growth.

Answer: Third answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Seven blue and four red balls are to be arranged in order. How many ways can this be done if (1) The blue balls are distinguishable (e.g. numbered) as are the red balls. (2) Blue balls are distinguishable, but the red balls are identical. (3) The balls of each color are indistinguishable.
Answer:
1) n = 39916800
2) n = 1663200
3) n = 330
Step-by-step explanation:
1) If the blue balls are distinguishable as are the red balls
Then you can arrange these balls in the following ways, we must use a permutation
In totally we have 11 balls, then
n = 11P11
[tex]n = \frac{11!}{(11-11)!} = 11! = 39916800\\[/tex]
2) If Blue balls are distinguishable, but the red balls are identical
In this case, we need to do a correction due to the red balls are identical and we cannot identify the difference when we interchange two red balls
[tex]n = \frac{11!}{4!} = \frac{39916800}{24} = 1663200[/tex]
3) If the balls of each color are indistinguishable
We proceed equal to the before case but we include a correction due to blue balls also
[tex]n = \frac{11!}{4!*7!} = \frac{39916800}{24*5040} = 330[/tex]
In a survey of 5100 randomly selected T.V. viewers, 40% said they watch network news programs. Find the margin of error for this survey if we want 95% confidence in our estimate of the percent of T.V. viewers who watch network news programs.
Answer:
Margin of error = 0.01344
Step-by-step explanation:
Margin of error = critical value × standard deviation.
critical value for 95% confidence interval = 1.96
Standard deviation = √[(p)(q)/n]
p = 0.4, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6, n = 5100
Standard deviation = √[(0.6×0.4)/5100] = 0.00686
Margin of error = 1.96 × 0.00686 = 0.0134
QUESTION 1 (0.5 POINTS) In a large restaurant an average of 3 out of every 5 customers ask for water with their meal. A random sample of 10 customers is selected. What is the probability that less than 3 customers ask for water with their meal? a). 0.012 b). 0.055 c). 0.042 d). 0.011
Answer:
Option A) 0.012
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information:
We treat customers asking for water as a success.
P(customers ask for water) = [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex] = 0.6
Then the number of customers follows a binomial distribution, where
[tex]P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.
Now, we are given n = 10
We have to evaluate:
[tex]P(x < 3) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2) \\= \binom{10}{0}(0.6)^0(1-0.6)^{10} +\binom{10}{1}(0.6)^1(1-0.6)^{9} + \binom{10}{2}(0.6)^2(1-0.6)^{8}\\= 0.0001 +0.0015 + 0.0106\\=0.012[/tex]
0.012 is the probability that less than 3 customers ask for water with their meal.
The correct answer is option a) 0.012
The probability of success in each trial is 3 out of 5 (or 0.6), and the probability of failure is 2 out of 5 (or 0.4). Denoting the number of customers who ask for water as a binomial random variable X with n = 10 and p = 0.6.
The binomial probability formula is given by:
[tex]P(X=k) ={n \choose k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}[/tex]
where:
n is the number of trials (10 in this case),
k is the number of successes (in this case, less than 3),
p is the probability of success (0.6), and
1−p is the probability of failure (0.4).
Probability that fewer than 3 customers ask for water needs to be found. This means we need to find:
P(X<3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)
Calculating each of these probabilities using the binomial formula:
For k=0:
[tex]P(X=0) ={10 \choose 0}(0.6)^0(0.4)^{10-0} = 1\times1\times0.4^{10} = 0.0001048576[/tex]
For k=1:
[tex]P(X=1) ={10 \choose 1}(0.6)^1(0.4)^{10-1} = 10\times0.6\times0.4^{9} = 0.001572864[/tex]
For k=2:
[tex]P(X=2) ={10 \choose 2}(0.6)^2(0.4)^{10-2} = 45\times0.36\times0.4^{8} = 0.010616832[/tex]
Now, we sum these probabilities to get the total probability that fewer than 3 customers ask for water:
P(X<3) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)
P(X<3) = 0.0001048576 + 0.001572864 + 0.010616832
P(X<3) = 0.0122945536
Therefore rounding this value results in a probability of approximately 0.012.

Answer:
0.44290869
Step-by-step explanation:
The Maclaurin series for sin⁻¹(x) is given by
sin⁻¹(x) = x + [tex]x^{\alpha } _{n=1}[/tex] [tex]\frac{1.3.5...(2n - 1)}{2.4.6...(2n)} * \frac{x^{2n + 1} }{2n + 1}[/tex]
Use the first five terms of the Maclaurin series above to approximate sin⁻¹ [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]. (Round your answer to eight decimal places.)
Answer
sin⁻¹(x) = x + [tex]x^{\alpha } _{n=1}[/tex] [tex]\frac{1.3.5...(2n - 1)}{2.4.6...(2n)} * \frac{x^{2n + 1} }{2n + 1}[/tex]
in the above equation [tex]x^{\alpha } _{n=1}[/tex] summation from n=1 to ∞
we are estimating this for the first 5 terms as follows
sin⁻¹(x) = x + [tex]\frac{1}{2} * \frac{x^{3} }{3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1*3}{2*4} * \frac{x^{5} }{5}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1*3*5}{2*4*6} * \frac{x^{7} }{7}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1*3*5*7}{2*4*6*8} * \frac{x^{9} }{9}[/tex]
sin⁻¹(x) = x + [tex]\frac{x^{3} }{6}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{3x^{5} }{40}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{15x^{7} }{336}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{105x^{9} }{3456}[/tex]
now to get
sin⁻¹([tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]) substitute
hence,
sin⁻¹([tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]) = [tex]\frac{3}{7} + \frac{\frac{3}{7} ^{3} }{6} + \frac{3 * \frac{3}{7} ^{5} }{40} + \frac{15* \frac{3}{7} ^{7} }{336} + \frac{105* \frac{3}{7} ^{9} }{3456}[/tex]
sin⁻¹([tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]) = 0.42857142 + 0.01311953 + 0.00108437 + 0.00011855 + 0.00001482

Step-by-step explanation: When you divid a data set in groups of 4 and measure the bulk of the values, this is called Interquatile Range (IQR).
It's calculated as follows:
1) Put the data in order;
week 1 : 39 50 58 63 72 81 104
week 2 : 34 54 62 68 72 79 110
2) Find the median of each data set:
*Note: Median is the middle value of a set.
week 1 : Median 63
week 2 : Median 68
3) Find Q1, which is the median in the lower half of the set:
week 1: the lower set is 39 50 58.
The middle value is 50.
So Q1 = 50.
week 2: the lower set is 34 54 62
The middle value is 54.
So Q1 = 54.
4) Find Q3, which is the middle value of the upper half:
week 1 : the upper half is 72 81 104
Q2 = 81
week 2 : the upper half is 72 79 110
Q2 = 79
5) To determine IQR, subtract Q1 and Q3:
week 1: 81 - 50 = 31
week 2 : 79 - 54 = 25
In conclusion, the IQR for week 1 is 31 and for week 2 is 25.

Which of the following is a quantitative continuous variable? a. Where a family goes on vacation b. Distance a family travels on vacation c. Number of vacations a family takes per year d. Number of consecutive years that a family goes on a vacation (Let a trip of at least 200 miles from home be defined as a "vacation") e. Amount spent on the vacation, to the nearest $100.
Answer:
Which of the following is a quantitative continuous variable?
b. Distance a family travels on vacation
e. Amount spent on the vacation, to the nearest $100.
Step-by-step explanation:
Quantitative variables use numbers to express attributes, there are 2 types:
1. Quantitave continuous variables use numbers to express the attributes but, could have an infinite value between its maximum and minimum values, and are able to be divided into smaller values, such as in options b and e.
2. Quantitative discrete, also use numbers to express attributes, but they may have some, but not all the values, and must be integers, such as in options:
c. Number of vacations a family takes per year
d. Number of consecutive years that a family goes on a vacation (Let a trip of at least 200 miles from home be defined as "vacation").
e. Amount spent on the vacation, to the nearest $100.
And there are the cualitative variables, which use words to express attributes, such as in:
a. Where a family goes on vacation.
A factory makes 10% defective items and items are independently defective. If a sample of 10 items is to be selected, find the probability that 9 or more are NOT defective in two ways. (Round to 3 decimal places) g
Answer:
[tex]P(x \geq 9)=P(X=9)+P(X=10)[/tex]
[tex]P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.9)^9 (1-0.9)^{10-9}=0.387[/tex]
[tex]P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.9)^{10} (1-0.9)^{10-10}=0.349[/tex]
And adding we got:
[tex]P(x \geq 9)=P(X=9)+P(X=10)=0.387+0.349=0.736[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:
[tex]X \sim Binom(n=10, p=1-0.1=0.9)[/tex]
Where 1-p = 1-0.1=0.9 represent the probability of being NOT defective
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]
And we want to find this probability:
[tex]P(x \geq 9)=P(X=9)+P(X=10)[/tex]
[tex]P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.9)^9 (1-0.9)^{10-9}=0.387[/tex]
[tex]P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.9)^{10} (1-0.9)^{10-10}=0.349[/tex]
And adding we got:
[tex]P(x \geq 9)=P(X=9)+P(X=10)=0.387+0.349=0.736[/tex]

Yvonne bought a new computer and printer for college. The total cost was 2500, which she put on her new credit card that has an interest rate of 13.5%. She makes a $75.00 monthly payment. How many months will it take to pay off the credit card balance? Enter your answer as a whole number such as: 23.
Answer:
43 months
Step-by-step explanation:
The amortization formula is ...
A = P(r/n)/(1 -(1 +r/n)^(-nt))
We want to find the value of t for monthly payment A, financed amount P, interest rate r, and compounding monthly (n=12). Filling in the values, we have ...
75 = 2500(0.135/12)/(1 -(1 +0.135/12)^(-12t))
1 -(1.01125^(-12t) = 2500·0.135/(12·75) = 0.375
1 -0.375 = 1.01125^(-12t) . . . . . add 1.01125^(-12t) -0.375
Next, take logarithms and divide by the coefficient of t.
log(0.625)/(-12log(1.01125)) = t ≈ 3.50106 . . . . years
In months, that is ...
3.50106×12 ≈ 42.01
The balance will be not quite zero after 42 payments. (It will be about $0.94.) It will take 43 payments to pay off the credit card balance.

Option C: The sum of the infinite geometric series is [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex]
Explanation:
The sum of infinite geometric series can be determined using the formula,
[tex]S_{\infty}=\frac{a}{1-r}[/tex]
Substituting the values [tex]a=5[/tex] and [tex]r=\frac{1}{3}[/tex] in the above formula, we have,
[tex]S_{\infty}=\frac{5}{1-\frac{1}{3} }[/tex]
Simplifying the denominator by taking LCM.

A study of consumer smoking habits includes 194194 people in the 18-22 age bracket (4848 of whom smoke), 142142 people in the 23-30 age bracket (3333 of whom smoke), and 8989 people in the 31-40 age bracket (2020 of whom smoke). If one person is randomly selected from this sample, find the probability of getting someone who is age 18-22 or does not smoke.
Answer:
0.8753
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Population=194+142+89=425
Population of those who smoke=48+33+20=101
Population of non smokers=425-101=324
Population of those in 18-22 bracket=194
Population of nonsmoker's in 18-22 age bracket=194-48=146
Probability of getting someone who is age 18-22 = [TeX]\frac{194}{425}[/TeX]
Probability of getting someone who does not smoke = [TeX]\frac{324}{425}[/TeX]
Let the event that the person is in age bracket 18-22 be A
Let the event that the person does not smoke be B
Therefore, the probability of getting someone who is age 18-22 or does not smoke
=Probability of getting someone who is age 18-22 + Probability of getting someone who does not smoke - Probability of those who do not smoke and are in the age bracket 18-22
P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A and B)
=[TeX]\frac{194}{425}+\frac{324}{425}-\frac{146}{425}[/TeX]

Suppose we are interested in analyzing the weights of NFL players. We know that on average, NFL players weigh 247 pounds with a population standard deviation of 47 pounds. Suppose we take a sample of 30 new players and we find that the average weight from that sample is 237 pounds. We are interested in seeing if the weight of NFL players is decreasing. What is the standard error? What is the margin of error at 90% confidence? Using my sample of 30, what would be the 90% confidence interval for the population mean? If I wanted to control my margin of error and set it to 5 at 90% confidence, what sample size would I need to take instead of the 30? What are the null and alternative hypotheses? What is the critical value at 90% confidence? Calculate the test statistic (using the sample of 30 and NOT the answer from part d). Find the p-value. What conclusion would be made here at the 90% confidence level?
Answer:
[tex] SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 8.58[/tex]
[tex] ME= 1.64 *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.64*\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 14.073[/tex]
[tex] \bar X - ME = 237- 14.073 = 222.927[/tex]
[tex] \bar X + ME = 237+ 14.073 = 251.073[/tex]
[tex]n=(\frac{1.640(47)}{5})^2 =237.65 \approx 238[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=238 rounded up to the nearest integer
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 247[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu <247[/tex]
[tex]z=\frac{237-247}{\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.165[/tex]
[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.165)=0.122[/tex]
If we compare the p value and the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.1[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can't conclude that the true mean is lower than 247 at 10% of significance.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following data given:
[tex] \bar X =237[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]\sigma = 47[/tex] represent the population deviation
[tex] n =30[/tex] represent the sample size selected
[tex]\mu_0 = 247[/tex] represent the value that we want to test.
The standard error for this case is given by:
[tex] SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 8.58[/tex]
For the 90% confidence the value of the significance is given by [tex] \alpha=1-0.9 = 0.1[/tex] and [tex] \alpha/2 = 0.05[/tex] so we can find in the normal standard distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.05 of the area on each tail and we got:
[tex] z_{\alpha/2}= 1.64[/tex]
And the margin of error would be:
[tex] ME= 1.64 *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.64*\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 14.073[/tex]
The confidence interval for this case would be given by:
[tex] \bar X - ME = 237- 14.073 = 222.927[/tex]
[tex] \bar X + ME = 237+ 14.073 = 251.073[/tex]
The margin of error is given by this formula:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (a)
And on this case we have that ME =5 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2[/tex] (b)
Replacing into formula (b) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{1.640(47)}{5})^2 =237.65 \approx 238[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=238 rounded up to the nearest integer
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is lower than 247 pounds, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 247[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu <247[/tex]
Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".
Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
[tex]z=\frac{237-247}{\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.165[/tex]
P-value
Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:

Credit sales are collected as follows:65 percent in the month of the sale.25 percent in the month after the sale.10 percent in the second month after the sale. The accounts receivable balance at the end of the previous quarter was $94,000 ($64,000 of which were uncollected December sales). a.Calculate the sale
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) November sales = (Total Uncollected Sales - Uncollected Sales from December) / Collection rate after two months
= ($121,100 - $87,300) / 0.20
November sales = $169, 000.00
b) December sales = Uncollected sales from December / Collection rate of the previous month sales,
Therefore: December sales = $87,300 / 0.45 = $194,000
December sales = $194,000.00
c) Each month's collection for the company are:
Collections for ech month = 0.20(Sales from 2 months ago) + 0.25(Last month's sales) + 0.55 (Current sales)
January collections = 0.20($169000.00) + 0.25($194,000.00) + 0.55($132,000)
January collections = $154,900.00
February collections = 0.20($194,000.00) + 0.25($132,000) + 0.55($149,000)
February collections = $153,750.00
March collections = 0.20($132,000) + 0.25($149,000) + 0.55($164,000)
March collections = $153,850.00

(6 pts) The average age of CEOs is 56 years. Assume the variable is normally distributed. If the SD is four years, find the probability that the age of randomly selected CEO will be between 50 and 55 years old.
Answer:
The probability that the age of a randomly selected CEO will be between 50 and 55 years old is 0.334.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a normal distribution with mean=56 years and s.d.=4 years.
We have to calculate the probability that a randomly selected CEO have an age between 50 and 55.
We have to calculate the z-value for 50 and 55.
For x=50:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{50-56}{4}=\frac{-6}{4}= -1.5[/tex]
For x=55:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{55-56}{4}=\frac{-1}{4}=-0.25[/tex]
The probability of being between 50 and 55 years is equal to the difference between the probability of being under 55 years and the probability of being under 50 years:
[tex]P(50<x<55)=P(x<55)-P(x<50)\\\\P(50<x<55)=P(z<-0.25)-P(z<-1.5)\\\\P(50<x<55)=0.40129-0.06681\\\\P(50<x<55)=0.33448[/tex]
Final answer:
The probability that the age of a randomly selected CEO will be between 50 and 55 years old is approximately 0.3345.
Explanation:
To find the probability that the age of a randomly selected CEO will be between 50 and 55 years old, we need to calculate the z-scores for both values and then use the standard normal distribution table.
Step 1: Calculate the z-score for 50 years old:
z = (50 - 56) / 4 = -1.5
Step 2: Calculate the z-score for 55 years old:
z = (55 - 56) / 4 = -0.25
Step 3: Use the standard normal distribution table to find the area to the left of each z-score:
P(z < -1.5) = 0.0668
P(z < -0.25) = 0.4013
Step 4: Calculate the probability between the two z-scores:
P(-1.5 < z < -0.25) = P(z < -0.25) - P(z < -1.5) = 0.4013 - 0.0668 = 0.3345
Therefore, the probability that the age of a randomly selected CEO will be between 50 and 55 years old is approximately 0.3345.

Before a strike prematurely ended the 1994 major league baseball season, Tony Gwynn of the San Diego Padres had 165 hits in 419 at bats, for a .394 batting average. Baseball fans argued over whether Gwynn was effectively a .400 hitter that year. Test this hypothesis
Answer:
yes, he was effectively a .400 hitter
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean rate of success ( ÿ ) is 0.394.
The total number of hits was 419.
Under table t the value at 5% confidence interval is 1.96.
Here se the asymptotic standard deviation is given as follows
se = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{y(1 - y)}{n} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.394(1 - 0.394)}{419} }[/tex]
= 0.02387
The confidence interval is calculated as follows:
y ± 1.96 * se
0.394 ± 1.96 * 0.02387
the answer is -0.347 or 0.4407)
meaning that the mean lies between -0.347 to 0.4407.
There is strong evidence that 0.4 lies between the above confidence interval.
This means that Gwynn was effectively a 0.4 hitter
Tony Gwynn's batting average was .394 with 165 hits in 419 at bats. He would have needed approximately 3 more hits to officially reach a .400 average. Despite his impressive performance, it is factually incorrect to label him a .400 hitter for that season.
To test the hypothesis that Tony Gwynn was a .400 hitter in 1994 before the strike ended the season, we need to see if his actual batting average could be considered close to .400 even though it was .394.
Gwynn had 165 hits in 419 at bats, which gives a batting average of 165/419, or approximately .394 when rounded to three decimal places. To have a .400 average, he would need to have 419 * .400 hits, which equals 167.6. Therefore, he needed approximately 3 more hits (rounding up from 2.6) to achieve a .400 average with the same number of at bats.
Given that batting averages are not rounded up after the season ends, stating that Gwynn was a .400 hitter would be incorrect. However, his achievement of .394 is remarkably high, and some may argue that rounding up for discussion purposes could informally suggest he was 'effectively' a .400 hitter.
Suppose that X has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 64. Approximate the following probabilities. Round the answers to 4 decimal places (e.g. 98.7654). a) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper X greater-than 84right-parenthesis equals b) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper X less-than 64 right-parenthesis equals
Answer:
(a) The probability of the event (X > 84) is 0.007.
(b) The probability of the event (X < 64) is 0.483.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable X follows a Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 64.
The probability mass function of a Poisson distribution is:
[tex]P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!};\ x=0, 1, 2, ...[/tex]
(a)
Compute the probability of the event (X > 84) as follows:
P (X > 84) = 1 - P (X ≤ 84)
[tex]=1-\sum _{x=0}^{x=84}\frac{e^{-64}(64)^{x}}{x!}\\=1-[e^{-64}\sum _{x=0}^{x=84}\frac{(64)^{x}}{x!}]\\=1-[e^{-64}[\frac{(64)^{0}}{0!}+\frac{(64)^{1}}{1!}+\frac{(64)^{2}}{2!}+...+\frac{(64)^{84}}{84!}]]\\=1-0.99308\\=0.00692\\\approx0.007[/tex]
Thus, the probability of the event (X > 84) is 0.007.
(b)
Compute the probability of the event (X < 64) as follows:
P (X < 64) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + ... + P (X = 63)
[tex]=\sum _{x=0}^{x=63}\frac{e^{-64}(64)^{x}}{x!}\\=e^{-64}\sum _{x=0}^{x=63}\frac{(64)^{x}}{x!}\\=e^{-64}[\frac{(64)^{0}}{0!}+\frac{(64)^{1}}{1!}+\frac{(64)^{2}}{2!}+...+\frac{(64)^{63}}{63!}]\\=0.48338\\\approx0.483[/tex]
Thus, the probability of the event (X < 64) is 0.483.
To approximate probabilities for a Poisson distribution with mean 64, one can use the cumulative distribution function of the Poisson distribution. But for large means like 64, using a Normal approximation to the Poisson might be more accurate.
Explanation:The question is about the Poisson distribution which is a probability distribution used often in statistical modelling where we are counting the number of times an event happens in a fixed interval of time or space. The mean is given as 64. To compute probabilities for values more than or less than a certain value, we use the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the Poisson distribution.
The cumulative distribution function gives us the probability that the random variable is less than or equal to a certain value. In other words, if we want to find P(X > 84), we can find it by subtracting P(X <= 83) from 1. Likewise, to find P(X < 64), we can directly use the cdf at 63.
Please note however, because of the large mean (64), it may be more accurate to use a Normal approximation to the Poisson with mean 64 and variance 64. In that case, standardize the variables and use the Standard Normal table for the probabilities.

8–8 If the derivative property of phasors is multiplication of the phasor by jω, the integral property of phasors is division of the phasor by jω. Use phasors and these properties to find the sinusoids in each of the following: υ 2 ( t ) = 1 100 d υ 1 ( t ) d t + 20 υ 1 ( t ) and υ1(t) = 10 cos(100t + 90°) V i 2 ( t ) = 10 ∫ i 1 ( t ) d t − 3 i 1 ( t ) and i1(t) = − 4 cos(5t) A
Answer:
solution attached below
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the sinusoids in the given equations, we can use the derivative and integral properties of phasors. For the first equation, υ2(t) = 1/100 dυ1(t)/dt + 20υ1(t), you can find the phasor representation of υ1(t) using the given equation υ1(t) = 10cos(100t + 90°) V and apply the derivative property of phasors. For the second equation, i2(t) = 10∫i1(t)dt - 3i1(t), you can find the phasor representation of i1(t) using the given equation i1(t) = -4cos(5t) A and apply the integral property of phasors. Therefore, the sinusoids in the given equations are υ2(t) ≈ 10cos(100t + 90°) + 2000cos(100t + 90°) V and i2(t) ≈ (4/5)cos(5t + 180°) + 12cos(5t + 180°) A·s.
Explanation:To find the sinusoids in the given equations, we can use the derivative and integral properties of phasors.
For the first equation, υ2(t) = 1/100 dυ1(t)/dt + 20υ1(t), we can start by finding the phasor representation of υ1(t) using the given equation υ1(t) = 10cos(100t + 90°) V:
υ1(t) = 10e^(j(100t + 90°))
Next, we differentiate υ1(t) with respect to t to find dυ1(t)/dt:
dυ1(t)/dt = -1000sin(100t + 90°) V/s
Using the derivative property of phasors (multiplying by jω), we have:
jωυ1(t) = j(100)(10)e^(j(100t + 90°)) = 1000ej(100t + 90°) V/s
Now, we can substitute these phasor representations back into the original equation:
υ2(t) = 1/100 (1000ej(100t + 90°) V/s) + 20(10e^(j(100t + 90°)) V
Simplifying, we get:
υ2(t) ≈ 10ej(100t + 90°) + 2000ej(100t + 90°) V
For the second equation, i2(t) = 10∫i1(t)dt - 3i1(t), we can find the phasor representation of i1(t) using the given equation i1(t) = -4cos(5t) A:
i1(t) = -4e^(j(5t + 180°))
Next, we can integrate i1(t) with respect to t to find ∫i1(t)dt:
∫i1(t)dt = (-4/5)e^(j(5t + 180°)) A·s
Using the integral property of phasors (dividing by jω), we have:
(1/jω)i1(t) = (-1/(j5))(4)e^(j(5t + 180°)) = (4/5)ej(5t + 180°) A·s
Substituting these phasor representations back into the original equation, we get:
i2(t) ≈ (4/5)ej(5t + 180°) - 3(-4)e^(j(5t + 180°)) A·s
Therefore, the sinusoids in the given equations are υ2(t) ≈ 10cos(100t + 90°) + 2000cos(100t + 90°) V and i2(t) ≈ (4/5)cos(5t + 180°) + 12cos(5t + 180°) A·s.

Find the slope of the line between the two points. (Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. If an answer is undefined, enter UNDEFINED.)
Answer:
The slope is -5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of a line given two points, we use the formula
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-1-4)/(4--2)
=-5/(4+2)
=-5/6
Answer: the slope of the line between the two points is - 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope, m = change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis.
change in the value of y = y2 - y1
Change in value of x = x2 -x1
y2 = final value of y
y 1 = initial value of y
x2 = final value of x
x1 = initial value of x
The line passes through (- 2, 4) and (4, - 1),
y2 = - 1
y1 = 4
x2 = 4
x1 = - 2
Slope,m = (- 1 - 4)/(4 - - 2) = - 5/6

Complete Question
Experiments on learning in animals sometimes measure how long it takes a gerbil to nd its way through a maze. The mean time is 14 seconds for one particular maze. A researcher thinks that playing soothing music will cause the gerbils to complete the maze slower. She measures how long each of 34 gerbils takes with a noise stimulus.
She measures how long each of 34 gerbils takes with a noise stimulus. The sample mean is x = 16.5 seconds.
The alternative hypothesis for the significance test is
a. Ha:μ≠14
b. Ha:μ=16.5.
c. Ha:μ>14
Answer:
Option C is correct.
The alternative hypothesis for the significance test is Ha:μ>14
Step-by-step explanation:
The researcher sets up a maze and notes that the mean time to complete the maze is 14 seconds for gerbils.
She then theorizes that playing soothing music for the gerbils while they complete the maze slows the gerbils down.
Using a sample of 34 gerbils, she tests her hypothesis, and truly, the sample mean, when she plays soothing noise in the background, rises from 14 to 16.5 seconds; indicating that the noise stimulus indeed, slows down the gerbils.
Alternative hypothesis theorizes that there is a relationship between two variables. A relationship that is significant enough statistically, that when the hypothesis is introduced, it affects the result of the experiment just in the way that the conductors of the experimemt have predicted.
So, if the alternative hypothesis for this 'gerbils completing maze experiment' is represented by Ha, just like the researcher theorizes, when Ha is introduced, the gerbils become slower and the mean time for completing the maze is evidently higher than the mean.
Mathematically, it can be written as
Ha:μ>14
Again, this is interpreted as, when Ha is introduced (soothing music), the mean time for the gerbils completing the maze is higher than the original mean (14).

An art history professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 5% of scores B: Scores below the top 5% and above the bottom 62% C: Scores below the top 38% and above the bottom 22% D: Scores below the top 78% and above the bottom 5% F: Bottom 5% of scores Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 73.3 and a standard deviation of 9.7. Find the numerical limits for a B grade. Round your answers to the nearest whole number, if necessary.
Answer:
76 ≤ B ≤ 89
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean score (μ) = 73.3
Standard deviation (σ) = 9.7
If B Scores are below the top 5% and above the bottom 62%, then:
62% ≤ B ≤ 95%
In a normal distribution, the 62nd percentile has a corresponding z-score of z = 0.305, while the 95th percentile has a corresponding z-score of z = 1.650.
The grades X1 and X2 which are the limits for a B grade are given by:
[tex]z= \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\0.305= \frac{X_1-73.3}{9,7}\\X_1=76.2\\1.650= \frac{X_2-73.3}{9,7}\\X_2=89.3[/tex]
Rounding to the nearest whole number, a B grade is given to grades between 76 and 89.
Final answer:
To calculate the numerical limits for a B grade in a normally distributed set of test scores with a mean of 73.3 and a standard deviation of 9.7, we find the z-scores corresponding to the top 5% and bottom 62%. The B grade range is approximately between 70 and 89.

To find the numerical limits for a B grade in a normally distributed set of test scores, we must determine the z-scores that correspond to the top 5% and the bottom 38% of scores since a B grade is assigned to scores below the top 5% and above the bottom 62% (which is equivalent to being below the top 38%). Given the mean score is 73.3 and the standard deviation is 9.7, we can use z-score formulas to convert these percentages to raw scores.
For the top 5% cutoff (z = 1.645), the score is calculated as follows:
Top 5% cutoff score = mean + (z x standard deviation)
Top 5% cutoff score = 73.3 + (1.645 x 9.7)
Top 5% cutoff score = 73.3 + 15.9565
Top 5% cutoff score ≈ 89
For the top 38% cutoff (z = -0.31), which is the bottom 62%, the score is calculated as:
Bottom 62% cutoff score = mean + (z x standard deviation)
Bottom 62% cutoff score = 73.3 + (-0.31 x 9.7)
Bottom 62% cutoff score = 73.3 + (-2.997)
Bottom 62% cutoff score ≈ 70
Therefore, a B grade on this test would be for scores roughly between 70 and 89.
