a) Probability-Above 30 min = 5.72% = .0572

b) Probability-Above 15 min =  99.11% = .9911

c) *Probability-Between  1 - 59.49% = .4051

d) 19.136 minutes  z = -1.28

Answer 2

a) The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour will be 0.0606.

b) The percentage of time the lawyer is late for work will be 99.18%.

c) The probability that lawyer misses coffee will be 0.3659.

d) The length of time above which we find the slowest 10​% of trips will be 0.5438.

e) The probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half

1/2 hour is 0.0103.

What do you mean by normal distribution ?

A probability distribution known as a "normal distribution" shows that data are more likely to occur when they are close to the mean than when they are far from the mean.

Let assume the time taken for a one way trip be x .

x ⇒ N( μ , σ ²)

x  ⇒ N( 24 , 3.8 ²)

a)

The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour or 30 minutes will be :

P ( x ≥ 30)

= P [ (x - μ) / σ ≥ (30 - μ) / σ ]

We know that , (x - μ) / σ = z.

= P [ z ≥ (30 - 24) / 3.8)]

= P [ z ≥ 1.578 ]

= 1 - P [  z ≤ 1.578 ]

Now , using the standard normal table :

P ( x ≥ 30)

= 1 - 0.9394

= 0.0606

b)

The percentage of the time the lawyer is late for work will be :

P ( x  ≥ 15)

= P [ z ≥ -2.368 ]

= P [  z ≤ 2.368]

= 0.9918

or

99.18%

c)

The probability that lawyer misses coffee :

P ( 15 < x < 25 ) = P ( x < 25 ) - P ( x < 15)

= P [  z < 0.263] - P ( z < -2.368)

or

= 0.3659

d)

The length of time above which we find the slowest 10​% of trips :

P( x ≥ X ) ≤ 0.10

=  0.5438

e)

Let's assume that y represents the number of trips that takes at least half hour.

y ⇒ B ( n , p)

y ⇒ B ( 3 , 0.0606)

So , the probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half

1/2 hour is :

P ( Y = 2 )

= 3C2 × (0.0606)² × ( 1 - 0.0606)

= 0.0103

Therefore , the answers are :

a) The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour will be 0.0606.

b) The percentage of time the lawyer is late for work will be 99.18%.

c) The probability that lawyer misses coffee will be 0.3659.

d) The length of time above which we find the slowest 10​% of trips will be 0.5438.

e) The probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half

1/2 hour is 0.0103.

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin the solution by squaring both sides of the given equation.  We get:

9x^2 - 24x + 16 = 2x ^2 - 2x + 2

Combining like terms results in:

and the coefficients are a = 7, b = -22, c = 14, so that the discriminant of the quadratic formula, b^2 - 4ac becomes (-22)^2 - 4(7)(14) = 92

You measure 49 turtles' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 80 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 6.1 ounces. Based on this, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight is between 77.76 and 82.24 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a p-value of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 2.575\frac{6.1}{\sqrt{49}} = 2.24[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 80 - 2.24 = 77.76 ounces.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 80 + 2.24 = 82.24 ounces.

The 99% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight is between 77.76 and 82.24 ounces.

So the first two questions are asking for points of intercept. a is asking where the function crosses the x, in this case it is where y=0. So your x intercept is at x= 1,5. Then to find the y intercept it is where x=0, so just substitute 0 for x. Then you get your y intercept as y=5. Because your coefficient for the quadratic function is positive your function has a minimum since it opens upward. I’m not sure what is means by C coordinate, but your vertex is at (3,-4) and lime of symmetry is at x=3.

X intercepts: (1,0) and (5,0)

A consumer advocate agency is concerned about reported failures of two brands of MP3 players, which we will label Brand A and Brand B. In a random sample of 197 Brand A players, 33 units failed within 1 year of purchase. Of the 290 Brand B players, 25 units were reported to have failed within the first year following purchase. The agency is interested in the difference between the population proportions, , for the two brands. Using the data from the two brands, what would be the standard error of the estimated difference, Dp = A – B, if it were believed that the two population proportions were, in fact, equal (i.e., )?

Answers

Answer:

The standard error of the estimated difference is of 0.0313.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the central limit theorem, and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Brand A:

33 out of 197, so:

[tex]p_A = \frac{33}{197} = 0.1675[/tex]

[tex]s_A = \sqrt{\frac{0.1675*0.8325}{197}} = 0.0266[/tex]

Brand B:

25 out of 290, so:

[tex]p_B = \frac{25}{290} = 0.0862[/tex]

[tex]s_B = \sqrt{\frac{0.0862*0.9138}{290}} = 0.0165[/tex]

What would be the standard error of the estimated difference?

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_A^2+s_B^2} = \sqrt{0.0266^2+0.0165^2} = 0.0313[/tex]

The standard error of the estimated difference is of 0.0313.

Answer:

 (36°, 67°, 77°)

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement lets us write the equations ...

  x + y + z = 180 . . . . sum of angles in a triangle

  y + z = 4x . . . . . 2nd and 3rd total 4 times the first

  z = y +10 . . . . . . 3rd is 10 more than 2nd

__

Substituting for z in the second equation, we have ...

  y +(y +10) = 4x

  y +5 = 2x . . . . . . divide by 2

  y = 2x -5 . . . . . . rearranged

  z = 2x +5 . . . . . . substitute for y in the last equation

Now, we can write the first equation entirely in terms of x:

  x +(2x -5) +(2x +5) = 180

  5x = 180

  x = 36

  y = 2(36) -5 = 67

  z = 67 +10 = 77

The three angles are (x, y, z) = (36°, 67°, 77°).

What is the probability that z equals 1.5

Answers

Answer:

0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability value corresponding to z = 1.5 is 0.9332.

What is probability?

Probability is a number that expresses the likelihood or chance that a specific event will take place. Both proportions ranging from 0 to 1 and percentages ranging from 0% to 100% can be used to describe probabilities.

The standard normal curve is a special case of a normal curve with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Since it is symmetric around the mean, 50% of the observations lie under the mean while the other 50% of the observations lie above the mean.

Thus the probability value corresponding to z = 1.5 is 0.9332.

Since the total probability value under the curve is 1, we subtract 0.9332 from 1 to calculate the area to the right.

Let a represent the price per pound of apples, b represent the price per pound of bananas, and c represent the price per pound of oranges. The system represents the number of pounds of each type of fruit and the total price of each fruit basket. How much per pound does each type of fruit cost Given the enormous heterogeneity of antigen receptors expressed on the populations of naive B and T lymphocytes, the adaptive immune response relies on a process whereby the rare lymphocyte that binds to the antigen is first induced to proliferate, before it can perform its effector function. For B cells, there is a clever mechanism that ensures that the specificity of the antibody secreted by the plasma cell will recognize the same pathogen that initially stimulated the B cell antigen receptor and induced B cell proliferation. This mechanism is:
