Answer 1

Answer:

a.

[tex]P(X=3)=0.2903\\\\P(X \geq 3)=0.5801\\\\P(X\leq 3)0.7102[/tex]

b.

[tex]P(2\leq x\leq 4 )=0.7451[/tex]

c. mean=2.8

d . standard deviation=1.2961

Step-by-step explanation:

We determine that the accident rates follow a binomial distribution. The rate of success p=0.4 and sample n=7:

[tex]P(x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

#the probability of exactly​ three;

[tex]P(x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(X=3)={7\choose 3}0.4^3(0.6)^{4}\\\\=0.2903[/tex]

#At least(more than 2)

[tex]P(x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(X\geq 3)=1-P(X\leq 2)\\\\=1-{7\choose 0}0.4^0(0.6)^{7}-{7\choose 1}0.4^1(0.6)^{6}-{7\choose 2}0.4^2(0.6)^{5}\\\\=1-0.0280-0.1306-0.2613\\\\=0.5801[/tex]

#At most 3;

[tex]P(x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(X \leq 3)={7\choose 0}0.4^0(0.6)^{7}+{7\choose 1}0.4^1(0.6)^{6}+{7\choose 2}0.4^2(0.6)^{5}+{7\choose 3}0.4^3(0.6)^{4}\\\\\\\=0.0280+0.1306+0.2613+0.2903\\\\=0.7102[/tex]

b. Between 2 and 4:

Using the binomial expression, this probability is calculated as:

[tex]P(x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(2\leq x\leq 4 )={7\choose 2}0.4^2(0.6)^{5}+{7\choose 3}0.4^3(0.6)^{4}+{7\choose 4}0.4^4(0.6)^{3}\\\\\\\\\=0.2613+0.2903+0.1935\\\\=0.7451[/tex]

Hence,the probability of between 2 and four is 0.7451

c. From a above, we have the values of n=7 and p=0.4.

-We substitute this values in the formula below to calculate the mean:

-The mean of a binomial distribution is calculated as the product of the probability of success by the sample size, mean=np:

[tex]\mu=np, n=7, p=0.4\\\\\mu=7\times 0.4\\\\=2.8[/tex]

Hence, the standard deviation of the sample is 2.8

d. From a above, we have the values of n=7 and p=0.4

--We substitute this values in the formula below to calculate the standard deviation

-The standard deviation a binomial distribution is given as:

[tex]\sigma={\sqrt {np(1-p)}\\\\=\sqrt{7\times 0.4\times 0.6}\\\\=1.2961[/tex]

Hence, the standard deviation of the sample is 1.2961

Answer 2
Final answer:

We can calculate the probabilities of having exactly 3 fatalities, at least 3 fatalities, and at most 3 fatalities using the formula. The mean and standard deviation of the random variable Y can be calculated using specific formulas for a binomial distribution.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we will use the binomial probability formula. The probability of exactly 3 traffic fatalities involving an intoxicated or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant can be calculated by plugging in the values of n (total number of trials) and p (probability of success in a single trial) into the formula. The probability of at least 3, or more than 3 traffic fatalities involving an intoxicated or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant can be calculated by summing the probabilities of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 fatalities. The probability of at most 3 traffic fatalities involving an intoxicated or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant can be calculated by summing the probabilities of 0, 1, 2, and 3 fatalities. The mean of the random variable Y can be calculated by multiplying the number of trials (7) by the probability of success (0.4). The standard deviation of Y can be calculated using the formula for the standard deviation of a binomial distribution.

Function Point
w = y3 − 9x2y
x = es, y = et

Evaluate each partial derivative at the given values of s and t.

Answers

Answer:

The value of [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}[/tex] is [tex]e^{3t}-18e^{2s+t}[/tex]The value of [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}[/tex] is [tex]3e^{3t}-9e^{2s+t}[/tex]The partial derivative at s=-5 and t=10 is [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}[/tex] is [tex]e^{30}-18[/tex]The partial derivative at s=-5 and t=10 is [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=3(e^{30}-3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Function point are [tex]w=y^3-9x^2y[/tex]

[tex]x=e^s[/tex], [tex]y=e^t[/tex] and s = -5, t = 10

To find [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}[/tex]using the appropriate Chain Rule :

[tex]w=y^3-9x^2y[/tex]  

Substitute the values of x and y in the above equation we get

[tex]w=(e^t)^3-9(e^s)^2(e^t)[/tex]

[tex]w=e^{3t}-9e^{2s}.e^t[/tex]

Now  partially differentiating w with respect to s by using chain rule we have

[tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial ∂s}=e^{3t}-9(e^{2s}).2(e^t)[/tex]

[tex]=e^{3t}-18e^{2s}.(e^t)[/tex]

[tex]=e^{3t}-18e^{2s+t}[/tex]

Therefore the value of [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}[/tex] is [tex]e^{3t}-18e^{2s+t}[/tex]

[tex]w=e^{3t}-9e^{2s}.e^t[/tex]

Now  partially differentiating w with respect to t by using chain rule we have

[tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=e^{3t}.(3)-9e^{2s}(e^t).(1)[/tex]

[tex]=3e^{3t}-9e^{2s+t}[/tex]

Therefore the value of [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}[/tex] is [tex]3e^{3t}-9e^{2s+t}[/tex]

Now put s-5 and t=10 to evaluate each partial derivative at the given values of s and t :

[tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}=e^{3t}-18e^{2s+t}[/tex]

[tex]=e^{3(10}-18e^{2(-5)+10}[/tex]

[tex]=e^{30}-18e^{-10+10}[/tex]

[tex]=e^{30}-18e^0[/tex]

[tex]=e^{30}-18[/tex]

Therefore the partial derivative at s=-5 and t=10 is [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial s}[/tex] is [tex]e^{30}-18[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=3e^{3t}-9e^{2s+t}[/tex]

[tex]=3e^{3(10)}-9e^{2(-5)+10}[/tex]

[tex]=3e^{30}-9e{-10+10}[/tex]

[tex]=3e^{30}-9e{0}[/tex]

[tex]=3e^{30}-9[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=3(e^{30}-3)[/tex]

Therefore the partial derivative at s=-5 and t=10 is [tex]\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=3(e^{30}-3)[/tex]

Using the Chain Rule, it is found that:

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s}(-5,10) = -18[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s}(-5,10) = 3e^{30} - 9[/tex]

w is a function of x and y, which are functions of s and t, thus, by the Chain Rule:

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s} = \frac{\partial W}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial s} + \frac{\partial W}{\partial y}\frac{\partial y}{\partial s}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial t} = \frac{\partial W}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial W}{\partial y}\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}[/tex]

Then, the derivatives are:

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial x} = -18xy[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial x}{\partial s} = e^s[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial y} = 3y^2 - 9x^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial y}{\partial s} = 0[/tex]

Then

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s} = \frac{\partial W}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial s}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s} = -18xy(e^s)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s} = -18e^se^t(e^s)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s} = -18e^{2s}e^t[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s} = -18e^{2s + t}[/tex]

At s = -5 and t = 10:

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s}(-5,10) = -18e^{2(-5) + 10} = -18[/tex]

Then, relative to t:

[tex]\frac{\partial x}{\partial t} = 0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial y}{\partial t} = e^t[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial t} = \frac{\partial W}{\partial y}\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial t} = (3y^2 - 9x^2)e^t[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial t} = (3e^{2t} - 9e^{2s})e^t[/tex]

At s = -5 and t = 10:

[tex]\frac{\partial W}{\partial s}(-5,10) = (3e^{20} - 9e^{-10})e^{10} = 3e^{30} - 9[/tex]

The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) in a exhaust of cars of a particular model varies normally with mean 0.25 grams per miles and standard deviation 0.05 g/mi. government regulations call for NOX emissions no higher than 0.3 g/mi.
a. What is the probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement?
b. A company has 4 cars of this model in its fleet. What is the probability that the average NOX level of these cars are above 0.3 g/mi limit?

Answers

Answer:

a) 15.87% probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement.

b) 2.28% probability that the average NOX level of these cars are above 0.3 g/mi limit

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem to solve this question.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 0.25, \sigma = 0.05[/tex]

a. What is the probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement?

Emissions higher than 0.3, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.3. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.3 - 0.25}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8417.

1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587.

15.87% probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement.

b. A company has 4 cars of this model in its fleet. What is the probability that the average NOX level of these cars are above 0.3 g/mi limit?

Now we have [tex]n = 4, s = \frac{0.05}{\sqrt{4}} = 0.025[/tex]

The probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.3. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.3 - 0.25}{0.025}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

2.28% probability that the average NOX level of these cars are above 0.3 g/mi limit

The probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement is 15.87%.

What is z score?

Z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

z = (raw score - mean) / standard deviation

Given;  mean of 0.25 g and a standard deviation of 0.05 g/mi

a) For > 0.3:

z = (0.3 - 0.25)/0.05 = 1

P(z > 1) = 1 - P(z < 1) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

b) For > 0.3, sample size = 4

z = (0.3 - 0.25)/(0.05 ÷√4) = 2

P(z > 2) = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

The probability that a single car of this model fails to meet the NOX requirement is 15.87%.

Some scientists believe that the average surface temperature of the world has been rising steadily. The average surface temperature can be modeled by T = 0.02t + 15.0. where T is temperature in ∘C and t is years since 1950.
(a) What do the slope and T-intercept represent?
(b) Use the equation to predict the average global surface temperature in 2050.

Answers

Answer:

(a)

The slope of the equation = 0.02

Therefore T-intercept equals 15

(b)

Therefore the average global surface temperature in 2050 is 17°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a equation is in the form

y= mx+c........(1)

Then the slope of the equation is m.

Slope: The tangent of the angle which is made with the positive x-axis.

If θ be the angle , Then slope (m)= tanθ.

If a equation in the form

[tex]\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} =1[/tex]............(2)

Then x-axis intercept equals a and y-axis intercept equals b.

Given equation is

T=0.02t+15.0

Comparing with equation (1)

The slope of the equation = 0.02

Again we can rewrite the equation as

[tex]T-0.02t=15[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{T}{15} -\frac{0.02t}{15}=1[/tex]

Comparing with (2)

Therefore T-intercept equals 15

(b)

Here t= 2050-1950 =100

Putting t=100 in the given equation

T=0.02(100)+15 = 2+15 =17

Therefore the average global surface temperature in 2050 is 17°C.

Consider the four points used in Problem 1: (-9,13), (-3, 9), (3, 6) and (9, 1) Three out of four of these points lie on one line. Which one of the four points does not lie on the same line as the other three? Justify your answer using slope. b) Find the equation of the line that contains three out of the four points

Answers

Answer:

a) ( 3 , 6 )

b) y = -2*x / 3 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The four points are:

                        (-9,13), (-3, 9), (3, 6) and (9, 1)

- Three points lie on the same line.

Find:

Which one of the four points does not lie on the same line as the other three?

Solution:

- Compute the slope between each pair of point:

                                 (-9,13), (-3, 9)

                        m_1 = ( 9 - 13 ) / ( -3 + 9 ) = - 2/3

                                 (-9,13), (3, 6)

                        m_2 = ( 6 - 13 ) / ( 3 + 9 ) = - 0.5833

                                 (-9,13), (9, 1)

                        m_3 = ( 1 - 13 ) / ( 9 + 9 ) = - 2/3

- We see that m_1 = m_3 ≠ m_2 . Hence, point ( 3 ,6 ) does not lie on the same line.

- The equation of line is expressed as:

                        y = m*x + C

                        m = -2/3

                        y = -2*x / 3 + C

                        1 = -2*9 / 3 + C ....... ( 9 , 1 )

                        C = 7

- The equation of the line is:

                        y = -2*x / 3 + 7

    Points A(-9, 13), B(-3, 9) and D(9, 1) are colinear.

b). Equation of the line passing through these points will be [tex]y=-\frac{2}{3}x+7[/tex]

Property for the colinear points:If three points are colinear, slope of the lines joining these points will be equal.Slope of a line joining two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by,

        [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Given points in the question,

A(-9, 13), B(-3, 9), C(3, 6) and D(9, 1)

If the slopes of the lines joining these points are same, points will be colinear.

Slope of AB = [tex]\frac{13-9}{-9+3}=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Slope of AC = [tex]\frac{13-6}{-9-3}=-\frac{7}{12}[/tex]

Slope of AD = [tex]\frac{13-1}{-9-9}=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Since, slopes of AB and AD are equal, points A, B and D will be colinear.

b). Let the equation of the line passing through A, B and D is,

    y - y' = m(x - x')

    Since, this line passes through D(9, 1) and slope = [tex]-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

    Equation of the line → [tex]y-1=-\frac{2}{3}(x-9)[/tex]

                                    [tex]y=-\frac{2}{3}x+6+1[/tex]

                                    [tex]y=-\frac{2}{3}x+7[/tex]

       Therefore, points A(-9, 13), B(-3, 9) and D(9, 1) are colinear and equation of the line passing through these points will be [tex]y=-\frac{2}{3}x+7[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Remember that multiplication is a simplification of the sum, so, when you say for example, 4*3, that actually means 3+3+3+3, similarly, when you say, 27x, that means x+x+x...+x  27 times.

2. From the image you can see that  

The 36 is NOT taken, and then you go all the way to infinity, therefore we say [tex](36,\infty)[/tex].  Suppose that 36 was taken, then we would say [tex][36,\infty)[/tex].

3. From the attached photo

you can see that we can compute first the area of the rectangle with length = 15 and height = 7, and also note that at the top a triangle with base 15 and height 5 is formed, so the area of the whole figure would be the area of the rectangle at the bottom plus the area of the triangle on top. That would be 7*15+(15*5)/2 = 285/2

4. Remember that in general the formula for surface area would be

How much should Marc deposit weekly into an account at 8% compounded weekly in order to have
$4500 available for a round trip plane ticket, hotel, and spending money for a trip to Sweden in 2 years?

Please give step by step!

Answers

Answer:

ooh i just learned this,  not 100% sure but the amount he should have to deposit is $3835.12

if the weekly one means depositing money every week then  it would be $36.88 I think.

Step-by-step explanation:

p=?

r=.08

n=52

t=2

4500 = P(1+.08/52)^(52 x 2)

divide both sides by (1+.08/52)^(52 x 2)

and you are left with $3835.12

if i take into account that Marc is depositing the money every week the i would divide it by 104  (that is 52 x 2 because 52 weeks in a year and it says 2 years) you would be left with $36.88.

Hope I was any help.

Answer: Marc should deposit $39.87 weekly.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining future value involving deposits at constant intervals. It is expressed as

S = R[{(1 + r)^n - 1)}/r][1 + r]

Where

S represents the future value of the investment.

R represents the regular payments made(could be weekly, monthly)

r = represents interest rate/number of interval payments.

n represents the total number of payments made.

From the information given,

S = $4500

Assuming there are 52 weeks in a year, then

r = 0.08/52 = 0.0015

n = 52 × 2 = 104

Therefore,

4500 = R[{(1 + 0.0015)^104 - 1)}/0.0015][1 + 0.0015]

4500 = R[{(1.0015)^104 - 1)}/0.0015][1.0015]

4500 = R[{(1.169 - 1)}/0.0015][1.0015]

4500 = R[{(0.169)}/0.0015][1.0015]

4500 = R[112.67][1.0015]

4500 = 112.839R

R = 4500/112.839

R = 39.87

In human resource management, performance of employees is measured as a numerical score which is assumed to be normally distributed. The mean score is 150 and the standard deviation 13. What is the probability that a randomly selected employee will have a score less than 120?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(X<120)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{120-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{120-150}{13})=P(z<-2.308)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

[tex]P(z<-2.308)=0.0105[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(150,13)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=150[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=13[/tex]

We are interested on this probability

[tex]P(X<120)[/tex]

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

[tex]P(X<120)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{120-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{120-150}{13})=P(z<-2.308)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

[tex]P(z<-2.308)=0.0105[/tex]

Suppose Team A has a 0.75 probability to win their next game and Team B has a 0.85 probability to win their next game. Assume these events are independent. What is the probability that Team A wins and Team B loses

Answers

The probability that Team A wins and Team B loses is 0.112.

Given that,

Suppose Team A has a 0.75 probability to win their next game and Team B has a 0.85 probability to win their next game.

Assume these events are independent.

We have to determine,

What is the probability that Team A wins and Team B loses?

According to the question,

In an independent event and probability, the outcomes in an experiment are termed as events. Ideally, there are multiple events like mutually exclusive events, independent events, dependent events, and more.

Team A has a 0.75 probability to win their next game,

And Team B has a 0.85 probability to win their next game.

Therefore,

The probability that Team A wins and Team B loses is

[tex]\rm The \ probability \ of \ A \ wins \ and \ team \ B \ loses = Probability \ of \ team \ A winning \ game \times (1- Probability \ of \ team B \ lose \ the \ game)\\\\ The \ probability \ of \ A \ wins \ and \ team \ B \ loses = 0.75 \times (1-0.85)\\\\ The \ probability \ of \ A \ wins \ and \ team \ B \ loses =0.75 \times 0.15\\\\ The \ probability \ of \ A \ wins \ and \ team \ B \ loses =0.112[/tex]

Hence, The probability that Team A wins and Team B loses is 0.112.

For more details refer to the link given below.

https://brainly.com/question/743546

Final answer:

The probability that Team A wins and Team B loses is calculated by multiplying the probability of Team A winning (0.75) with the probability of Team B losing (1 - 0.85). The result is 0.1125 or 11.25%.

Explanation:

To calculate the probability that Team A wins and Team B loses, we use the rules of independent events. The event of Team A winning has a probability of 0.75, and the event of Team B losing is the complement of Team B winning, which has a probability of 0.85. Since these are independent events, we multiply the probabilities:

P(Team A wins and Team B loses) = P(Team A wins) × P(Team B loses)

P(Team B loses) = 1 - P(Team B wins) = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

Therefore, P(Team A wins and Team B loses) = 0.75 × 0.15 = 0.1125.

The probability that Team A wins and Team B loses is 0.1125, or 11.25%.

An investment earns 13% the first year, earns 20% the second year, and loses 15% the third year. The total compound return over the 3 years was ______.

Answers

Answer:

The total compound return over the 3 years is 15.26%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial investment sum be assumed to be X

The total return after each year can be calculated as follows:

After First year: X + (13% of X) = 1.13X

After Second year: 1.13X + (20% of 1.13X) = 1.13X + 0.226X = 1.356X

After Third year: 1.356X - (15% of 1.356X) = 1.356X - 0.2034X = 1.1526X

It is apparent from here that after the third year, the investment has increased the initial X, by 0.1526X, which is 15.26%.

The total compound return over the 3 years is 15.26%

Step-by-step explanation:

The sampling distribution of the proportion of damaged trees is approximately Normal

Answer:B. The sampling distribution of the proportion of damaged trees is approximately Normal.

Step-by-step explanation: Sampling distribution is a probability distribution of a statistic which is gotten through the collection of a large number of samples from the population of interest.

A normal distribution is a distribution of the samples symmetrically around the mean, when a Statistical metric shows that the outcome is distributed around the central region it shows that the distribution is normal.

FOR A FORTY PERCENT INCIDENCE, THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROPORTION OF DAMAGED TREES IS APPROXIMATELY NORMAL AS IT IS CLOSE TO 50% WHICH IS THE MEAN OF 100%.

Incomplete question check attachment for complete question

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function,

F(x, y)=x²+y²

The La Grange is theorem

Solve the following system of equations.

∇f(x, y)= λ∇g(x, y)

g(x, y)=k

Fx=λgx

Fy=λgy

Fz=λgz

Plug in all solutions, (x,y), from the first step into f(x, y) and identify the minimum and maximum values, provided they exist and

∇g≠0 at the point.

The constant, λ, is called the Lagrange Multiplier.

F(x, y)=x²+y²

∇f= 2x i + 2y j

So, given the constraint is xy=1.

g(x, y)= xy-1=0

∇g= y i + x j

gx= y.   And gy=x

So, here is the system of equations that we need to solve.

Fx=λgx;     2x=λy.     Equation 1

Fy=λgy;     2y=λx.     Equation 2

xy=1    

Solving this

x=λy/2.   From equation 1, now substitute this into equation 2

2y=λ(λy/2)

2y=λ²y/2

2y-λ²y/2 =0

y(2-λ²/2)=0

Then, y=0. Or (2-λ²/2)=0

-λ²/2=-2

λ²=4

Then, λ= ±2

So substitute λ=±2 into equation 2

2y=2x

Then, y=x

So inserting this into the constraint g will give

xy=1.    Since y=x

x²=1

Therefore,

x=√1

x=±1

Also y=x

Then, y=±1

Therefore, there are four points that solve the system above.

(1,1)   (-1,-1)    (1,-1)    and (-1,1)

The first two points (1,1)   (-1,-1) shows the minimum points because they show xy=1

The other points does not give xy=1

They give xy=-1.

Now,

F(x, y)=x²+y²

F(1,1)=1²+1²

F(1,1)=2

F(-1,-1)=  (-1) ²+(-1)²

F(-1,-1)=1+1

F(-1,-1)=2

Then

F(1,1)= F(-1,-1)=2 is the minimum point  

This gives the same four points as we found using Lagrange multipliers above.

Two hikers come to a ravine and want to know how wide it is. They set up two similar triangles as shown in the diagram. How far is it across the ravine?

Answers

Answer:

d = 80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with angle BCA, tan(BCA) = 30/15 so BCA = 63.43 degrees.

BCA = ECD since they are opposite angles.

tan ECD = d/40

40 tan(63.4degrees) = d

d = 80 ft

Alternatively, you can use similar triangles since the angles are the same, BCA = ECD, CED = CAB, and CBA = EDC. In that case use proportions to get 30/15 = d/40 so 2 = d/40 and d = 80.

Answers

Answer: blue is 25% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

8+11+5+3+9=36 then blue would be 9/36 of all the yarn and 9/36 converted into a percentage is 25%

Final answer:

Beth has a total of 36 yarn bags. The probability of her drawing a blue yarn is 9 out of 36, or 0.25. Similarly, the probability of her drawing a white yarn is 11 out of 36, or 0.306.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is probability. The total number of yarn bags is the sum of all the different colors bags Beth has, which is 8 + 11 + 5 + 3 + 9 = 36 bags. The probability of an event occurring is determined by dividing the number of preferred events by the total number of outcomes. So, if Beth wants to pick a blue yarn, the number of favorable outcomes is 9 (blue yarn bags) and the total number of outcomes is 36 (total bags).

So, the probability of Beth picking a blue yarn is calculated as such 9/36 = 0.25.

Similarly, the probability of Beth picking a white yarn bag is calculated as 11/36 = 0.306. Hence, out of all the bags, she has a slightly higher chance of picking a white yarn bag.

16. A car depreciates in value at a rate of 10%. The car currently has a value of $12,000.
What will be its value in 10 years?

Answers

Answer: $4,184.14

Step-by-step explanation:

If a car depreciates, it mean the the car is losing it's marketable worth and sometimes at a constant rate. The worth of the car after some years does not remain the same.

The formula for this depreciation when at a constant rate is denoted as:

D = P × [1 - r/100]^n

Where:

D=the Depreciated value of the car after n period which is what is being determined.

P = initial value of the car before depreciation is considered and in this case, P = $12,000

r = constant Rate Of depreciation and in this case = 10%

n = period being considered, which in this case, n = 10years.

Hence,

D = 12,000 × [1 - 10/100]^10

D = $4,184.14

The owner of a fish market determined that the mean weight for a catfish is 3.2 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.8 pound. Assuming the weights of catfish are normally distributed, the probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is ________.

Answers

Answer: The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is 0.596

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the weights of catfish are assumed to be normally distributed,

we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = weights of catfish.

µ = mean weight

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 3.2 pounds

σ = 0.8 pound

The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is is expressed as

P(x ≤ 3 ≤ 5.4)

For x = 3

z = (3 - 3.2)/0.8 = - 0.25

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.401

For x = 5.4

z = (5.4 - 3.2)/0.8 = 2.75

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.997

Therefore,.

P(x ≤ 3 ≤ 5.4) = 0.997 - 0.401 = 0.596

Final answer:

To determine the probability that a catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds, we calculate the z-scores for these weights and find the corresponding probabilities. The probability is approximately 0.5957 or 59.57%.

Explanation:

The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds can be calculated using the standard normal distribution.

First, we convert the weights to z-scores using the formula:

Z = (X - μ) / σ

For 3 pounds:


Z = (3 - 3.2) / 0.8 = -0.25


For 5.4 pounds:


Z = (5.4 - 3.2) / 0.8 = 2.75

Next, we look up these z-scores on the z-table or use a calculator with normal distribution functions to find the probabilities.

P(Z < 2.75) = 0.9970 (rounded to four decimal places)

P(Z < -0.25) = 0.4013 (rounded to four decimal places)

Then we find the difference to determine the probability of a catfish weighing between these two values:

Probability = P(Z < 2.75) - P(Z < -0.25)

Probability = 0.9970 - 0.4013 = 0.5957

The probability that a randomly selected catfish will weigh between 3 and 5.4 pounds is approximately 0.5957 or 59.57%.

What is the probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life. Report your answer as a decimal accurate to 3 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is 0.426.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of Americans who believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life.

The probability of the random variable X is,

P (X) = 0.574

The event of a person not believing that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is the complement of the event X.

The probability of the complement of an event, E is the probability of that event not happening.

[tex]P(E^{c})=1-P(E)[/tex]

Compute the value of [tex]P(X^{c})[/tex] as follows:

[tex]P(X^{c})=1-P(X)\\=1-0.574\\=0.426[/tex]

Thus, the probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is 0.426.

Answer:

Probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life = 0.426 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a poll showed that 57.4% of Americans say they believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life.

Let the above probability that % of Americans who believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life = P(A) = 0.574

Now, probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is given by = 1 - Probability of randomly selecting someone who believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life = 1 - P(A)

So, required probability = 1 - 0.574 = 0.426 .

A brochure claims that the average maximum height for a certain type of plant is 0.7 m. A gardener suspects that this is not accurate locally due to variation in soil conditions, and believes the local height is shorter. A random sample of 40 mature plants is taken. The mean height of the sample is 0.65 m with a standard deviation of 0.20 m. Test the claim that the local mean height is less than 0.7 m using a 5% level of significance.

Answers

Answer:

As [tex]Z<-Z_{\alpha}[/tex], it is possible to reject null hypotesis. It means that the local mean height is less tha 0.7 m with a 5% level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Relevant data:

[tex]\mu=0.70\\N=40\\\alpha=0.05\\X=0.65\\s=0.20[/tex]

2. Hypotesis testing

[tex]H_{0}=\mu=0.70[/tex]

[tex]H_{1} =\mu< 0.70[/tex]

3. Find the rejection area

From the one tail standard normal chart, whe have Z-value for [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] is 1.56

Then rejection area is left 1.56 in normal curve.

4. Find the test statistic:

[tex]Z=\frac{X-\mu_{0} }{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]Z=\frac{0.65-0.70}{0.20/\sqrt{40}}\\Z=-1.58[/tex]

5. Hypotesis Testing

[tex]Z_{\alpha}=1.56\\Z=-1.58[/tex]

[tex]-1.58<-1.56[/tex]

As [tex]Z<-Z_{\alpha}[/tex], it is possible to reject null hypotesis. It means that the local mean height is less tha 0.7 m with a 5% level of significance.

The probability of a train arriving on time and leaving on time is 0.8. The probability that the train arrives on time and leaves on time in 0.24. What is the probability that the train arrives on time, given that it leaves on time?

Answers

Answer:

0.9524

Step-by-step explanation:

Note enough information is given in this problem. I will do a similar problem like this. The problem is:

The Probability of a train arriving on time and leaving on time is 0.8.The probability of the same train arriving on time is 0.84. The probability of the same train leaving on time is 0.86.Given the train arrived on time, what is the probability it will leave on time?

Solution:

This is conditional probability.

Given:

Probability train arrive on time and leave on time = 0.8 Probability train arrive on time = 0.84 Probability train leave on time = 0.86

Now, according to conditional probability formula, we can write:

[tex]P(Leave \ on \ time | arrive \ on \ time)[/tex] = P(arrive ∩ leave) / P(arrive)

Arrive ∩ leave means probability of arriving AND leaving on time, that is given as "0.8"

and

P(arrive) means probability arriving on time given as 0.84, so:

0.8/0.84 = 0.9524

This is the answer.

The grade point averages for 10 randomly selected high school students are listed below. Assume the grade point averages are normally distributed. 2.0 3.2 1.8 2.9 0.9 4.0 3.3 2.9 3.6 0.8 Find a 98% confidence interval for the true mean.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2.54-2.82\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10}}=1.55[/tex]    

[tex]2.54+2.82\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10}}=3.53[/tex]    

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (1.55;3.53)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

[tex]\bar X[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample  

[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]   (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

[tex]\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}[/tex] (2)  

[tex]s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}[/tex] (3)  

The mean calculated for this case is [tex]\bar X=2.54[/tex]

The sample deviation calculated [tex]s=1.110[/tex]

In order to calculate the critical value [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

[tex]df=n-1=10-1=9[/tex]

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.02[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.01[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.01,9)".And we see that [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=2.82[/tex]

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

[tex]2.54-2.82\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10}}=1.55[/tex]    

[tex]2.54+2.82\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10}}=3.53[/tex]    

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (1.55;3.53)    

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (1.55;3.53)

A range of values that, with a particular level of confidence, is likely to encompass a population value is called a confidence interval. A population mean is typically stated as a percentage that falls between an upper and lower interval.

The range of values in a confidence interval below and above the sample statistic is called the margin of error.

The normal distribution is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

show the sample mean for the given sample.  

population mean (the relevant variable)

The sample standard deviation is denoted by s.

n stands for the number of samples.  

Resolution of the issue

The following formula produces the mean's confidence interval:

[tex]\bar x[/tex] ± [tex]\frac{t_a}{2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex] ____________(1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

[tex]\bar x =[/tex] [tex]\sum_{i =1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}[/tex]_______(2)

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum^n_{i=1}(x_i-\bar x)}{n-1} }[/tex] ____________(3)

The mean calculated for this case is X = 2.54

The sample deviation calculated s = 1.110

t In order to calculate the critical value [tex]\frac{t_a}{2}[/tex] we need freedom, given by: to find first the degrees of

df = n-1=10-19

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the value of a = 0.02 and a/2 = 0.01, and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value.

[tex]\frac{t_a}{2}[/tex]  = 2.82

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

2.54 - 2.82 [tex]\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10} }[/tex] = 1.55

2.54 +  2.82 [tex]\frac{1.110}{\sqrt{10} }[/tex]  = 3.53
