Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a)0.099834

b) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for this question we would be using , z.score formula.

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

A candy maker produces mints that have a label weight of 20.4 grams. Assume that the distribution of the weights of these mints is normal with mean 21.37 and variance 0.16.

a) Find the probability that the weight of a single mint selected at random from the production line is less than 20.857 grams.

Standard Deviation = √variance

= √0.16 = 0.4

Standard deviation = 0.4

Mean = 21.37

x = 20.857

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 20.857 - 21.37/0.4

z = -1.2825

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<20.857) = 0.099834

b) During a shift, a sample of 100 mints is selected at random and weighed. Approximate the probability that in the selected sample there are at most 5 mints that weigh less than 20.857 grams.

z score formula used = (x-μ)/σ/√n

x = 20.857

Standard deviation = 0.4

Mean = 21.37

n = 100

z = 20.857 - 21.37/0.4/√100

= 20.857 - 21.37/ 0.4/10

= 20.857 - 21.37/ 0.04

= -12.825

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<20.857) = 0

c) Find the approximate probability that the sample mean of the 100 mints selected is greater than 21.31 and less than 21.39.

g Researchers studied 208 infants whose brains were temporarily deprived of oxygen due to complications at birth. When researchers detected oxygen deprivation, they randomly assigned babies to either usual care or to a whole-body cooling group. The goal was to see whether reducing body temperature for three days after birth increased the rate of survival without brain damage. What is the response variable

Answers

Answer:

The rate of survival without brain damage

Step-by-step explanation:

The response variable (or dependent variable) is the variable that is measured and which depends on other variables. In this experiment, the researchers are investigating the impact of reducing body temperature on rate of survival without brain damage. The variable that they were 'measuring' was the rate of survival without brain damage, which depended on the variable of reducing body temperature, therefore the response variable here is the 'rate of survival without brain damage.'

Xavier climbs 9 feet up into an apple tree. What integer represents the direction and how far he will climb to get back down to the ground? What does the integer 0 represent in this situation?

Answers

Answer:

He started climbing 9 feet up into the tree, so we can assume that the initial position is 9ft above the ground.

Then if he wants to get back into the ground, he must "descend" or climb down 9 ft again.

Then the integer is -9 (because he is climbing down now).

In this case, the 0 represents that he does not move.

So the integer 0 is related to: +0ft or -0ft

This means that he climbs up 0ft or down -0ft, which is the same as not moving at all.

Just multiply 10 times 10 times 10 times 10 then multiply 2.87 and it’ll get you A, or just use Siri like me

The general form of the number is 28,700. The correct option is A.

What is a standard form?

Any value between 1.0 and 10.0 that can be expressed as a decimal number and multiplied by a power of 10 is referred to as being in standard form.

The given number is 2.87 x 10⁴. The general form of the number can be written as:-

2.87 x 10⁴ = 2.87 x 10000

2.87 x 10⁴  = 28700

Multiply 2.87 by 10000 we will get the general form 28700 for the number.

Therefore, the general form of the number is 28,700. The correct option is A.

Your laptop died and you need a new one for work NOW! The one you need will cost $500. You do not have the cash in your checking account, so you decide to borrow the money from your savings account. You have $9,000 in your savings account gaining 3% interest per year. If you don't replace the $500 in the savings account, how long will it take before the balance again reaches $9,000?

Answers

Answer:

2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have $9000 in the saving account, and you take $500, you are left with:

$9000 - $500 = $8500

in one year you will have 3% more of the 8500 which is:

8500/100*3 = $255

so in one year the number on your savings account is:

8500 + 255 = $8755

and by the next year you will have 3% more of the 8755 which is:

8755/100*3 = $262.65

so in two years the number on your savings account is:

8755 + 262.65 = $9017.65

which is a little bit more than the $9000.

so it will take 2 years until the calance again reaches $9000

b) P(x < 15)
c) P(16 < x < 25)

Answers

Answer:

a)0.09176

b)0.22065

c)0.62551

Step-by-step explanation:

a) p(x>21) = p(z> (21-17)/3)=p(z>1.333) = 1-.90824= 0.09176 (subtracting from one because we are looking at the right side of the graph from the Z-table)

b)p(x<15) = p(z< (15-17)/3)=p(z<-.6667) = 0.22065

c)p(16 < x < 25)= (z(16-17)/3 < p < z(25-17)/3)= z(-.333) < p < z(2.667)=.99621 -.37070 = 0.62551
