A family has two cats named Gordo and Flaco. Gordo weighs 15 pounds and Flaco weighs 8 pounds. A cat’s weight is classified as unhealthy if the weight is located in the top 5% or bottom 5% of all cat weights. The distribution of cat weights is approximately normal with mean 9.5 pounds and standard deviation 1.5 pounds. Which of the following is the best description of Gordo’s and Flaco’s weights?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Gordo's weight = 15 pounds

It is outside the healthy weight range and is in the top 5% of weights of cats.

Gordo's weight makes Gordo unhealthy.

Step-by-step explanation:

μ = mean weight = 9.5 pounds

σ = standard deviation = 1.5 pounds

This is a normal distribution problem

We first calculate the limit of the bottom 5% of weights

Let the z-score for this limit be z'

P(z < z') = 0.05

From the normal distribution table,

z' = -1.645

And the limit for the top 5% which is z" = 1.645.

The weight that corresponds to these scores are then calculated.

Standardized scores are given as

z = (x - μ)/σ

So,

z' = (limit for the bottom 5% - μ)/σ

-1.645 = (limit for the bottom 5% - 9.5)/1.5

limit of the bottom 5% = (-1.645)(1.5) + 9.5 = 7.033 pounds

z" = ( (limit for the top 5% - μ)/σ

1.645 = (limit for the top 5% - 9.5)/1.5

limit of the bottom 5% = (1.645)(1.5) + 9.5 = 11.968 pounds

Therefore the healthy weight range for cats is (7.033 < x < 9.968)

Gordo's weight = 15 pounds

It is outside the healthy weight range and is in the top 5% of weights of cats.

Gordo's weight makes the cat unhealthy.

Flaco's weight = 8 pounds

Flaco's weight lies in the healthy weight range for cats. Hence, Flaco is a healthy cat.

A college information pamphlet provides some statistics about the students and the professors to help high school seniors decide if they want to attend the college. The pamphlet lists the ratio of students to professors as 18 to 1. If there are 702 students at the college, how many professors are there?

Answers

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Setting up your problem and solving:

In the question it says the ratio is students to professors right? So 18 to 1.

Write that down: Students to Professors is 18 to 1.

We know that there are 702 students in that college correct?

Write that down: 702 students in the college

We are trying to find how many professors there are so...let's do that.

Number 1:

Set your equation: have your fraction bar and equal sign like this: --- = ---

On the top, we have 1 so... 1/? = ?/?

On the other top we have the x...: 1/? = x/?

Why? Because we do not know the total of professors there are so that is X.

We put the number 1 on the other side because we know that there is only 1 out of 18 professors to students.

Number 2:

On the bottom, we will have 18...: 1/18 = x/?

On the other bottom we have 702...: 1/18 = x/702

Why? Because we know that there is a total number of 18 to 1 students on the ratio and a real total of 702 students.

Number 3.

Now you have your equation set up: 1/18 = x/702

The next step is yours: cross multiple, divide on the bottom or top or find the comparison.

I'm going to divide by the bottom okay? so.. 18/702

Set that up.

(702/18)

702/18 is 39!

SO in the end there is a total of 39 professors!

'x=39'

A plane flies at an altitude of 3.5 kilometers and then starts to descend when it is 60
kilometers from the runway. What is the angle of depression for the descent of the plane?
Round to the nearest degree.

Answers

Answer:

Angle of depression = 3.37°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that A plane flies at an altitude of 3.5 kilometers and then starts to descend when it is 60

kilometers from the runway.

I've attached an image of a triangle depicting this question.

From the triangle, we can find the angle of depression θ from trigonometric ratio since it's a right angle triangle.

Thus;

3.5/60 = tan θ

tan θ = 0.0583

θ = tan^(-1) 0.0583

θ = 3.37°

Identify the variable(s), set up your equation(s), and solve. Richard has an elder sister who is twice his age and a younger sister who is two years younger than him. If the product of his sisters' ages is 70, how old is Richard?

Answers

Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Let Richard's age = x

Elder sister's age = 2x

Youngwr sister's age = x - 2

Product of sisters ages = 70

2x * (x - 2) = 70

2x² - 4x = 70

2x² - 4x - 70 = 0

x² - 2x - 35 = 0

x² - 7x + 5x - 35 = 0

x(x - 7) +5(x - 7) = 0

(x - 7) or (x + 5) = 0

x = 7 or x = - 5

X can't be negative

Hence, x = 7

Richard is 7 years

f/13 = 6.2 what is the value of f

Answers

Answer:

The value of f is 80.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation and asked to solve for f.

If we are given a fraction with a variable in the numerator, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator to isolate it.

For example, if you look at this equation:

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{a}{26}=17.9[/tex]

We can multiply both sides by 26 to get the a by itself so the equation can be solved.

[tex]\displaystyle26\times\frac{a}{26}=17.9\times26\\\\a = 465.4[/tex]

Therefore, we can apply this same technique to the equation [tex]\frac{f}{13}=6.2.[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{f}{13}=6.2\\\\13\times\frac{f}{13}=6.2\times13\\\\f = 80.6\ \text{or} \ \frac{403}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of f is 80.6.

Answer:

f = 80.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 13.

f /13 =6.2

( f /13 )*(13)=(6.2)*(13)

f = 80.6

Educators in Michigan have been trying to raising math achievement scores for several years without success. Results from the state assessment test given in fourth grade show that 52% of all fourth graders cannot subtract when borrowing from zero (regrouping with zero in the subtrahend). Two new techniques for teaching this concept have been developed by teachers who belong to the Michigan Council of Teachers of Mathematics. It is decided that each technique be used in randomly selected classrooms throughout the state. Sixty third-grade classrooms are selected to try each of the techniques. Results from the state assessment test will then be monitored for each of the next two years to see whether either of the two techniques will be effective in teaching subtraction from zero. Sixty-three percent of the students who were taught with first technique passed the objective. Only 32% of students who were taught with the second technique passed the objective.
1. The population is:______.
A. All fourth graders in Michigan.
B. All third graders in Michigan.
C. The students who were in the 60 third-grade classrooms that used each technique.
D. All students in fourth grade who were taught with one of the techniques.
2. The sample is:______.
A. All fourth graders in Michigan.
B. All third graders in Michigan.
C. The students who were in the 60 third-grade classrooms that used each technique.
D. All students in fourth grade who were taught with one of the techniques.
3. An example of a parameter in the study is:______.
A. 63% of the students taught using technique 1 achieved the objective of subtracting from zero.
B. 32% of the students taught using technique 2 passed the state objective test.
C. 52% of all fourth graders in Michigan cannot subtract from zero.
D. 52% of all fourth graders in Michigan cannot pass the fourth-grade mathematics state assessment test.
4. An example of a statistic in the study is:_______.
a. 63% of the students taught using technique 1 achieved the objective of subtracting from zero.
b. 32% of the students taught using technique 2 passed the state objective test.
c. 52% of all fourth graders in Michigan cannot subtract from zero.
d. both a & b.
e. all of the above.
5. The dependent variable is the:______.
A. Results from the fourth-grade state assessment test in mathematics state assessment.
B. Instruction in math in third grade.
C. Two new techniques for teaching subtraction from zero.
D. Percentage of children who passed the objective subtraction from zero.
6. The independent variable is the:______.

B. Instruction in math in third grade.
C. Two new techniques for teaching subtraction from zero.
D. Percentage of children who passed the objective subtraction from zero.

Answers

Answer:

1. A. All fourth graders in Michigan.

2. C. The students who were in the 60 third-grade classrooms that used each technique.

3. C. 52% of all fourth graders in Michigan cannot subtract from zero.

4. d. both a & b.

5. D. Percentage of children who passed the objective subtraction from zero.

6. C. Two new techniques for teaching subtraction from zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can make this conclusion since an assessment test often comes after students undergo the required lessons (that is using taught the new techniques, so when they entered the fourth grade the assessment would be taken to determine their performance. Hence, the population of the study is the entire fourth-graders in Michigan.

2. The sample includes only students who made up the "60 third-grade classrooms that used each technique". In other words, they were the subject of the study.

3. Remember, a parameter often refers to numbers that summarize the entire data of a particular population. So we could say, that 52% of all fourth graders in Michigan that cannot subtract from zero make up the parameter.

4. A statistic is usually any resulting values gotten from a sample. Hence, both statements a and b are statistics from the sample.

5. Remember, the dependent variable is a variable that can be influenced by another variable; the independent variable. In other words, the percentage of children who passed the objective subtraction from zero could be affected by the independent variable.

6. The independent variable is the variable that could influence the dependent variable. In other words, the two new techniques for teaching subtraction from zero could influence "the percentage of children who passed the objective subtraction from zero."
