The number of major earthquakes in a year is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 20.8 and a standard deviation of 4.5. a) Find the probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes. b) Find the probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 51.60% probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.

b) 49.35% probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 20.8, \sigma = 4.5[/tex]

a) Find the probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 21. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{21 - 20.8}{4.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.04[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.04[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.5160.

So there is a 51.60% probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.

b) Find the probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 23 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 18. So:

X = 23

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{23 - 20.8}{4.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.71[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.71[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7611

X = 18

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{18 - 20.8}{4.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.62[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.62[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.2676

So there is a 0.7611 - 0.2676 = 0.4935 = 49.35% probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.

Answer 2

Final answer:

To find the probability of specific numbers of earthquakes occurring within a year using a normal distribution, one calculates the Z-scores for those numbers and looks up or calculates the corresponding probabilities.

Explanation:

The question involves finding probabilities related to the number of earthquakes in a year, which is modeled using a normal distribution. To find these probabilities, we'll use the mean μ = 20.8 and the standard deviation σ = 4.5 of the distribution.

a) Probability of less than 21 earthquakes

To find the probability of there being less than 21 earthquakes in a year, we calculate the Z-score for 21:

Z = (X - μ) / σ = (21 - 20.8) / 4.5 ≈ 0.04

Looking up this Z-score on a standard normal distribution table or using a calculator, we find the corresponding probability and note that it's slightly more than 0.5, indicating a little over a 50% chance.

b) Probability of 18 to 23 earthquakes

Finding the Z-scores for 18 and 23:

Z for 18 = (18 - 20.8) / 4.5 ≈ -0.62

Z for 23 = (23 - 20.8) / 4.5 ≈ 0.49

You then look up these Z-scores on a standard normal distribution table to find the probabilities for each and subtract the smaller from the larger to get the probability of having between 18 and 23 earthquakes in a year. This method shows that there's a significant chance, typically around 40% to 50%, though the specific value requires precise Z-score to probability conversion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is arranged in ascending order so, the lower quartile denoted as Q1 can be calculated as under

Q1=((n+1)/4)th score=(41/4)th score=(10.25)th score

Q1=10th score+0.25(11th-10th)score

Q1=57+0.25(59-57)=57+0.5=57.5

Q1=57.5

The data is arranged in ascending order so, the third quartile denoted as Q3 can be calculated as under

Q3=(3(n+1)/4)th score=(3*41/4)th score=(30.75)th score

Q3=30th score+0.75(31th-30th)score

Q3=81+0.75(81-81)=81+0=81

Q3=81

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Echelon form.Reduced Echelon form.Neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective is to determine which of the following matrices are in reduced echelon form and which others are only in echelon form. The given matrices are

                       [tex]\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0& 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0& 0 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}[/tex],  [tex]\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 0& 1& 1 & 1 \\ 0& 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}[/tex]  and   [tex]\begin{bmatrix} 0& 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1& 3 & 0 & 0 \\ 0& 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0& 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}[/tex].

First, recall what is an echelon and reduced echelon form of a matrix.

A matrix is said to be in a Echelon form if

If there is any zero rows, all nonzero rows are placed above them;Each first non-zero entry in a row, which is the leading entry, is placed to the right of the leading entry of the row above it;All elements below the leading entry must be equal to zero in each column.

A matrix is said to be in  a Reduced Echelon form if

In each non-zero row, the leading entry is 1.In its column, each leading 1 is actually the only non-zero element.

A column that contains a leading 1 which is the only non-zero element is called a pivot column.

Now, let's have a look at the first matrix

                                 [tex]\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0& 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0& 0 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}[/tex]

As we can see, it doesn't have any zero rows. Each leading entry in a row is placed to the right of the leading entry from the row above and all elements below the leading entries in all columns are equal to zero. Therefore, this matrix is in an Echelon form.

In the second row, the leading entry is 2, not 1, so because of the first property of the Reduced Echelon form, it is not in a Reduced Echelon form.

Notice that it can be transformed to the Reduced Echelon form by multiplying the second row by [tex]\frac{1}{2}.[/tex]

The second matrix is

                                         [tex]\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 0& 1& 1 & 1 \\ 0& 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}[/tex]

There is a zero row, and all non-zero rows are placed above it. Each leading entry in a row, which is the first non-zero entry, is placed to the right of the entry of the row above it and all elements below the leading entry are equal to zero in each column, so it is in the Echelon form.

It is also in the Reduced Echelon form, since all non-zero rows the leading entry is 1 and it is the only non zero element in each column.

The least given matrix is

                                        [tex]\begin{bmatrix} 0& 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1& 3 & 0 & 0 \\ 0& 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0& 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}[/tex]

This matrix doesn't satisfy the condition that if there is any zero-row, it must be below all other non-zero rows, so it is not in Echelon form.

A matrix that is not in an Echelon form, it is not in an Reduced Echelon form either.

Therefore, this matrix is not in an Reduced Echelon form.

You and your friend play a game. You answer 80% of the questions correctly and your friend answers 0.60 of the questions correctly. What is the minimum number of questions in the game?

Answers

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming both players can answer the same question, the minimum number of questions is the smallest number that when multiplied by either 0.60 or 0.80 yields a whole number.

Let x be the number of questions, solving by trial and error:

[tex]if\ x=2\\x*0.8=1.6\\x*0.6=1.2\\\\if\ x=3\\x*0.8=2.4\\x*0.6=1.8\\\\if\ x=4\\x*0.8=3.2\\x*0.6=2.4\\\\if\ x=5\\x*0.8=4\\x*0.6=3\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, the minimum number of questions in the game is 5.

To find the minimum number of questions in a game where one person answers 80% correctly and another answers 60% correctly, calculate the LCM of the fractions' denominators. The result is 5 questions.

You and your friend have different accuracy rates when answering questions in a game. You answer 80% of the questions correctly, while your friend answers 60% of the questions correctly. To find the minimum number of questions in the game, we need to ensure that both percentages can correspond to whole numbers of questions.

Convert the percentages to fractions: You:  [tex]\( \frac{80}{100} = \frac{4}{5} \)[/tex] and your friend: [tex]\( \frac{60}{100} = \frac{3}{5} \)[/tex]To find the smallest number of questions (N) that allows both fractions to be whole numbers, find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators (5 in both cases).The LCM of 5 is 5 since it’s the same for both.Thus, the minimum number of questions in the game is 5.

In a game with 5 questions:

You would answer 4 out of 5 questions correctly (80%).Your friend would answer 3 out of 5 questions correctly (60%).

Therefore, the minimum number of questions in this game is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Probability of burglary, p = [tex]\frac{661}{400,000}[/tex]

q = 1 - p

or                    

q = 0.99835                              

Now,

P(r ≥ 2) = 1 - P(r < 2)

A student who has created a linear model is disappointed to find that herR2 value is a very low 13%. a) Does this mean that a linear model is not appropriate? Explain. b) Does this model allow the student to make accurate predictions? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

a) No it doesn't mean that linear model is inappropriate

b) No. The prediction using this model will not be accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

For answering this part, firstly consider the concept of [tex]R^{2}[/tex]

The [tex]R^{2}[/tex] also known as coefficient of determination is used to determine the amount of variability in dependent variable is explained by the linear model. Lower [tex]R^{2}[/tex] depicts that less variation of dependent is explained by the independent variable using the linear model. The linearity of model is determined by scatter plot. Thus, if the [tex]R^{2}[/tex] is lower, it doesn't mean that linear model is inappropriate.

b)

The predictions made by the model having lower [tex]R^{2}[/tex] value are erroneous. The model is used for prediction if the linear model explains the larger portion of variability in dependent variation. If the predictions made from the model that have lower [tex]R^{2}[/tex] value then the predicted values will not be close to the actual value and thus residuals will not be minimum as residuals are the difference of actual and predicted values.

Answers

Answer:

a) a binomial distribution with mean 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an  airplane has a front nad a rear door that are bother opened to allow passengers to exit when the plane lands. the plane has 100 passengers.

These 100 passengers can select either back door or front door with equal probability (assuming)

so probability for selecting front door = 0.5

No of passengers =100

Each passenger is independent of the other

Hence X no of passengers exiting through the front door is binomial with

p =0.5 and n =100

Mean of the variable X = np = 100(0.5) = 50

Variance of X = 100(0.5)(0.5)

Hence std dev = 10(0.5) = 5

So correct answers are

a) a binomial distribution with mean 50

And the limit on this case exists.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the following limit:

[tex] lim_{x \to 8} (1+3\sqrt{x})(1-6x^2 +x^3)[/tex]

First we can distribute the polynomials like this:

[tex] lim_{x \to 8} (1-6x^2 +x^3+3\sqrt{x} -18 x^{5/2} +3x^{7/2})[/tex]

And Now we can use the distributive property for the limit and we got:

[tex] lim_{x \to 8} 1 - 6 lim_{x \to 8} x^2 + lim_{x \to 8} x^3 +3 lim_{x \to 8} \sqrt{x} -18 lim_{x \to 8} x^{5/2} + 3 lim_{x \to 8} x^{7/2}[/tex]

And now we can evaluate the limit and we got:

[tex] [tex] lim_{x \to 8} (1+3\sqrt{x})(1-6x^2 +x^3)[/tex]=[tex]1-384 +512+3\sqrt{8} -18(8)^{5/2} +3 (8)^{7/2} =1223.601[/tex]

And the limit on this case exists.

Final answer:

To solve limit problems in mathematics, limit laws are often very useful. In this specific case, as the function is a polynomial and defined for all real number values, a direct substitution of x=8 into the function is sufficient. Therefore, the limit as x approaches 8 for function 1 + 3x5 - 6x2 + x3 is calculable.

Explanation:

In the field of mathematics, limit laws are used quite frequently for evaluating limits. In this case, we want to calculate the limit as x approaches 8 for the function 1 + 3x5 - 6x2 + x3.

For a given polynomial function like this one, an easy and very straightforward approach is to substitute the value x is approaching (in this scenario, x = 8) directly into the polynomial function.

So, after substitution, our function becomes: 1 + 3*(8)^5 - 6*(8)^2 + (8)^3. Simplifying it further, the limit as x approaches 8 of this function gives us a definite numeric value.

Always remember while applying limit laws, you might at times need the limit laws to evaluate complex limit problems but in this given scenario, direct substitution works perfectly fine because this polynomial function is defined for all real number values of X.

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

There are four questions, so n = 4.

Each question has 5 options, one of which is correct. So [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]

What is the probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions?

This is [tex]P(X = 1)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}*(0.2)^{1}*(0.8)^{3} = 0.4096[/tex]

There is a 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

Your office has just received 140 insurance claims to be processed in the next few days. What is the probability that from 45 to 47 of the claims have been padded?

a. 0.222
b. 0.167
c. 0.119
d. 0.104
e. 0.056

Answers

Answer:

For x=45

sample proportion=45/140=0.321

z=(0.321-0.30)/sqrt(0.3*(1-0.3)/140)

z=0.54

For x=47

sample proportion=47/140=0.336

z=(0.336-0.30)/sqrt(0.3*(1-0.3)/140)

z=0.93

Now,

P(0.54<z<0.93)=P(z<0.93)-P(z<0.54)

=0.8238-0.7054

=0.118

So,correct option is 0.119

For each part, give a relation that satisfies the condition. a. Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive b. Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric c. Symmetric and transitive but not reflexive

Answers

Answer:

For the set X = {a, b, c}, the following three relations satisfy the required conditions in (a), (b) and (c) respectively.

(a) R = {(a,a), (b,b), (c, c), (a, b), (b, a), (b, c), (c, b)} is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive .

(b) R = {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c), (a, b)} is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric .

(c) R = {(a,a), (a, b), (b, a)} is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive .

Step-by-step explanation:

Before, we go on to check these relations for the desired properties, let us define what it means for a relation to be reflexive, symmetric or transitive.

Given a relation R on a set X,

R is said to be reflexive if for every [tex]a \in X, (a,a) \in R[/tex].

R is said to be symmetric if for every [tex](a, b) \in R, (b, a) \in R[/tex].

R is said to be transitive if [tex](a, b) \in R[/tex] and [tex](b, c) \in R[/tex], then [tex](a, c) \in R[/tex].

(a) Let R = {(a,a), (b,b), (c, c), (a, b), (b, a), (b, c), (c, b)}.

Reflexive: [tex](a, a), (b, b), (c, c) \in R[/tex]

Therefore, R is reflexive.

Symmetric: [tex](a, b) \in R \implies (b, a) \in R[/tex]

Therefore R is symmetric.

Transitive: [tex](a, b) \in R \ and \ (b, c) \in R[/tex] but but (a,c) is not in  R.

Therefore, R is not transitive.

Therefore, R is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive .

(b) R = {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c), (a, b)}

Reflexive: [tex](a, a), (b, b) \ and \ (c, c) \in R[/tex]

Therefore, R is reflexive.

Symmetric: [tex](a, b) \in R \ but \ (b, a) \not \in R[/tex]

Therefore R is not symmetric.

Transitive: [tex](a, a), (a, b) \in R[/tex] and [tex](a, b) \in R[/tex].

Therefore, R is transitive.

Therefore, R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric .

(c) R = {(a,a), (a, b), (b, a)}

Reflexive: [tex](a, a) \in R[/tex] but (b, b) and (c, c) are not in R

R must contain all ordered pairs of the form (x, x) for all x in R to be considered reflexive.

Therefore, R is not reflexive.

Symmetric: [tex](a, b) \in R[/tex] and [tex](b, a) \in R[/tex]

Therefore R is symmetric.

Transitive: [tex](a, a), (a, b) \in R[/tex] and [tex](a, b) \in R[/tex].

Therefore, R is transitive.

Therefore, R is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive .

How many 7/8 cup servings are in 1/2 of a cup of juice? (in simplest fraction form)

Answers

The result is [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are asked to find how many 7/8 cup servings are in 1/2 of a cup of juice.

Mathematically, this is equivalent to divide 1/2 by 7/8. So we can write:

[tex]\frac{1/2}{7/8}[/tex]

This can be rewritten as a multiplication by reversing the denominator:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{8}{7}[/tex]

Now we can perform the multiplication of both the numerator and the denominator:

[tex]\frac{1\cdot 8}{2\cdot 7}=\frac{8}{14}[/tex]

And simplifying (dividing by 2),

[tex]\frac{8}{14}=\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

There are 4/7 servings of 7/8 cup in 1/2 cup of juice.

To determine the number of 7/8 cup servings in 1/2 of a cup of juice, divide the 1/2 cup of juice by 7/8 cup.

Now, the reciprocal of 7/8 and multiplying it by 1/2.

Reciprocal of 7/8 = 8/7

Now, perform the multiplication:

= (1/2 cup) * (8/7)

= (1 * 8) / (2 * 7)

= 8/14

= 4/7

Therefore,4/7 servings of 7/8 cup in 1/2 cup of juice.

indicate if the following systems are lineare or non linjear systems d^2x/dt+5dx/dt+10x = 0

Answers

Answer: You have only provided one Differential Equation (DE), it looks like you intended listing more.

The equation you wrote contains an incorrect d²x/dt, it is likely to be d²x/dt² + 5dx/dt + 10x = 0, which is linear. Unless it is (dx/dt)² + 5dx/dt + 10x = 0, then it is nonlinear.

Not to worry though, I will explain what linear and nonlinear DE's are.

Step-by-step explanation:

LINEAR DE: This is the kind of DE in which the functions of the dependent variable are linear. There are no powers of the dependent variable and/or its derivatives, there are no products of the dependent variable and its derivative, there are no functions of the dependent variable like cos, sin, exp, etc.

Example:

* 5d²x/dt² + dx/dt - x = 2t

This is linear, as it satisfies all the conditions.

NONLINEAR DE: If any condition explained for linear DE is not satisfied, then it is called nonlinear.

Example:

* d²x/dt² - sinx = 0

This is nonlinear because of the presence of sinx.

* d²x/dt² + xdx/dt = 0

This is nonlinear because of the product of the dependent variable, x, and its derivative, dx/dt.

* d²x/dt² + x² = 0

This is nonlinear because a function of the dependent variable is not linear. You shouldn't have x².

* (dx/dt)³ + 3dx/dt = 0 is equally nonlinear. You can't have nonlinear functions of the dependent variable or its derivatives.

I hope this helps answer the remaining parts of your question.

Suppose the coefficient matrix of a linear system of four equations in four variables has a pivot in each column. Explain why the system has a unique solution. What must be true of a linear system for it to have a unique​ solution? Select all that apply.

Answers

If the coefficient matrix has a pivot in each column, it means that it is shaped like this:

[tex]A=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}a_{1,1}&a_{1,2}&a_{1,3}&a_{1,4}\\0&a_{2,2}&a_{2,3}&a_{2,4}\\0&0&a_{3,3}&a_{3,4}\\0&0&0&a_{4,4}\end{array}\right][/tex]

So, the correspondant system

[tex]Ax = b[/tex]

will look like this:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}a_{1,1}&a_{1,2}&a_{1,3}&a_{1,4}\\0&a_{2,2}&a_{2,3}&a_{2,4}\\0&0&a_{3,3}&a_{3,4}\\0&0&0&a_{4,4}\end{array}\right]\cdot \left[\begin{array}{c}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}b_1\\b_2\\b_3\\b_4\end{array}\right][/tex]

This turn into the following system of equations:

[tex]\begin{cases}a_{1,1}x_1+a_{1,2}x_2+a_{1,3}x_3+a_{1,4}x_4=b_1\\a_{2,2}x_2+a_{2,3}x_3+a_{2,4}x_4=b_2\\a_{3,3}x_3+a_{3,4}x_4=b_3\\a_{4,4}x_4=b_4\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]x_3 = \dfrac{b_3-a_{3,4}x_4}{a_{3,3}}[/tex]

0.5 is the probability that a randomly selected home will have a Jacuzzi given that it has a swimming pool.              

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

S: Homes in Miami have a swimming pool

J: Homes in Miami have a jacuzzi

[tex]P(S) = 60\% = 0.6\\P(S\cap J) = 30\% = 0.3[/tex]

We have to find the probability that a randomly selected home will have a Jacuzzi given that it has a swimming pool.

Thus, we have to calculation the conditional probability of having a jacuzzi given the house has a swimming pool.

[tex]P(J|S) = \dfrac{P(J\cap S)}{P(S)}\\\\P(J|S) = \displaystyle\frac{0.3}{0.6} = 0.5[/tex]

An SRS of 350 350 high school seniors gained an average of ¯ x = 22.61 x¯=22.61 points in their second attempt at the SAT Mathematics exam. Assume that the change in score has a Normal distribution with standard deviation σ = 53.63 . σ=53.63. We want to estimate the mean change in score μ μ in the population of all high school seniors. (a) Using the 68 68 – 95 95 – 99.7 99.7 Rule or the z - z- table (Table A), give a 95 % 95% confidence interval ( a , b ) (a,b) for μ μ based on this sample.

Answers

Answer:  (16.9914, 28.2286).

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

[tex]\overline{x}\pm z^*\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

, where [tex]\overline{x}[/tex] = Sample mean

[tex]\sigma[/tex]= Population standard deviation

n= Sample size.

z* = Critical value.

Let μ be the mean change in score  in the population of all high school seniors.

As per given ,  we have

n= 350

[tex]\overline{x}=22.61[/tex]

[tex]\sigma=53.63[/tex]

The critical z-value for 95% confidence interval is z*= 1.96 [From z-table]

Substitute all the value in formula , we get

[tex]22.61\pm (1.96)\dfrac{53.63}{\sqrt{350}}[/tex]

[tex]=22.61\pm (1.96)\dfrac{53.63}{18.708287}[/tex]

[tex]=22.61\pm (1.96)(2.8666)[/tex]

[tex]=22.61\pm (5.6186)[/tex]

[tex]=(22.61-5.6186,\ 22.61+5.6186) =(16.9914,\ 28.2286)[/tex]

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for [tex]\mu[/tex] is (16.9914, 28.2286).
