Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

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

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation for this problem are given as follows:

[tex]\mu = 247, \sigma = 60[/tex]

For item a, the proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 167, hence:

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

Z = (167 - 247)/60

Z = -1.33.

Z = -1.33 has a p-value of 0.0918.

Hence the percentage is of 9.18%.

For item b, the proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 367, hence:

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

Z = (367 - 247)/60

Z = 2.

Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.

Hence the percentage is of 97.72%.

For item c, the proportion is one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 247, hence:

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

Z = (247 - 247)/60

Z = 0.

Z = 0 has a p-value of 0.5.

1 - 0.5 = 0.5.

Hence the percentage is of 50%.

For item d, the proportion is one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 350, hence:

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

Z = (350 - 247)/60

Z = 1.72

Z = 1.72 has a p-value of 0.9573.

1 - 0.9573 = 0.0427.

Hence the percentage is of 4.27%.

For item e, the proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 67, hence:

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

Z = (67 - 247)/60

Z = -3.

Z = -3 has a p-value of 0.0013.

Hence the percentage is of 0.13%.

For item f, the proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 300 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 200, hence:

X = 300:

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

Z = (300 - 247)/60

Z = 0.88.

Z = 0.88 has a p-value of 0.8106.

X = 200:

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

Z = (200 - 247)/60

Z = -0.78.

Z = -0.78 has a p-value of 0.2177.

0.8106 - 0.2177 = 0.5929.

Hence the percentage is of 59.29%.

For item g, the proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 400 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 360, hence:

X = 400:

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

Z = (400 - 247)/60

Z = 2.55.

Z = 2.55 has a p-value of 0.9946.

X = 360:

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

Z = (360 - 247)/60

Z = 1.88.

Z = 1.88 has a p-value of 0.97.

0.9946 - 0.97 = 0.0246.

Hence the percentage is of 2.46%.

For items h and i, the distribution is symmetric and the mean and the median are equal, hence both percentages are 50%.

Tom and ben both get paid the same amount for every hour they work. tom worked 5 hours and ben worked 6 hours. together, they received r1 430. how much money did each receive?

Answers

Tom and Ben received 650 and 780 respectively.

Let the amount paid to each for every hour they work be x. Now, forming the equation as per the given information in question.

5x + 6x = 1430

Performing addition to find the value of x.

11x = 1430

Shifting 11 to Right Hand Side of the equation

x = 1430 ÷ 11

Performing division to find the value of x

x = 130

Now finding the amount received by Tom and Ben based on the number of hours they worked.

Amount received by Tom = 5x

Amount received by Tom = 5 × 130

Amount received by Tom = 650

Amount received by Ben = 6x

Amount received by Ben = 6 × 130

Amount received by Ben = 780

Therefore, the amount received by Tom and Ben are 650 and 780 respectively.

Answers

In the first pair of numbers  15/x² + 6 is larger and in the second pair of numbers (s² + 2)/(s² + 1) is larger

What is Expression in Mathematics?

Expressions in math are mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing numbers or variables, or both, connected by an operator in between.

Given is two pairs of expressions. From the image given , we can write them as -

Pair 1 f(x) = 15/x² + 6     and       h(x) = 15/x² + 7

Pair 2 → f(s) = (s² + 2)/(s² + 1)    and       h(s) = (s² + 4)/(s² + 3)  

We can compare which expression is larger in both the pairs without substituting any specific value as follows -

Pair 1 →  f(x) = 15/x² + 6     and       h(x) = 15/x² + 7.

The numerator is same in both the functions.

Now, for any value of x ∈ R →  x² + 6 < x² +7  by 1. Therefore, f(x) > h(x)

Pair 2f(s) = (s² + 2)/(s² + 1)    and      h(s) = (s² + 4)/(s² + 3)  

f(s) = (s² + 2)/(s² + 1) = [(s² + 1) + 1]/(s² + 1) = 1 + 1/(s² + 1)

h(s) =  (s² + 4)/(s² + 3) =  [(s² + 3) + 1]/(s² + 3) = 1 + 1/(s² + 3)  

So, we can write that -

f(s) = 1 + 1/(s² + 1)

h(s) = 1 + 1/(s² + 3)  

Now for any value of s →  (s² + 1) < (s² + 3)  by 2. So →  1/(s² + 1) > 1/(s² + 3). Therefore → 1 + 1/(s² + 1) > 1 + 1/(s² + 3). Finally, we can write -

(s² + 2)/(s² + 1) > (s² + 4)/(s² + 3)

Therefore, in the first pair of numbers  15/x² + 6 is larger and in the second pair of numbers (s² + 2)/(s² + 1) is larger.

Part C: Find the falcon's rate in kilometers per hour. (3 points)


Part D: Which unit, meters, or kilometers, makes more sense to use in this scenario, and why? (2 points)

Answers

The answers are :

Part A: r = d/t, Part B: 200,000 meters per hour, Part C: 200 kilometres per hour Part D: Kilometres is more appropriate.

Part A: To rearrange the distance formula for the value of rate, rate will be on Left Hand Side of the equation and other variables will be on Right Hand Side of the equation.

rate = distance/time.

Part B: Rate in meter per hour can be calculated by keeping the values in formula formed in Part A.

Rate = 800,000 ÷ 4

Rate = 200,000 meters per hour.

Part C: To find the rate in kilometres per hour, we will simply convert the calculated rate from meters to kilometres. As per the known fact, 1000 meters = 1 kilometre.

Rate = 200,000 ÷ 1000

Rate = 200 kilometres per hour

Part D: The use of unit kilometre is more appropriate in this problem. This is because the speed is fast and contains many zeroes. Reading and understanding in the form of kilometres is more practical in comparison to meters.

Hence, Part A: r = d/t, Part B: 200,000 meters per hour, Part C: 200 kilometres per hour Part D: Kilometres is more appropriate

The numbers ordered from least to greatest are- 2.14, 2.2, 2.221, 2.276, 2.26, 2.291.

Here, we are given 6 numbers-

2.2, 2.276, 2.291, 2.14, 2.26, 2.221

Now, we can add as many zeroes as we want after the decimal, it does not change the value of the number.

Thus, let us make all the numbers 3 digit decimal numbers

2.200,  2.276,  2.291,  2.140,  2.260,  2.221

Here, all the numbers have 2 in the units place, so we just need to compare the decimals

The first digit after decimal is 2 in all the numbers except 2.140, thus it is the smallest.

Then, the second digit after decimal is 0 in 2.200, thus it is the next smallest number.

By similar logic, looking at the second digit after the decimal only we can arrange the remaining numbers as 2.221, 2.276, 2.260, 2.291.

Thus, the numbers ordered from least to greatest are- 2.14, 2.2, 2.221, 2.276, 2.26, 2.291.

A farmer has 120 bushels of apples to sell at his stand. he sells an average of 16 3/5 bushels each day. represent the total change in the number of bushels he has for sale after 7 days

Answers

The total change in the number of bushels he has for sale after 7 days = 116.2

In this question,

A farmer sells an average of 16 3/5 bushels each day.

We write above improper fraction 16 3/5 in proper fraction as 83/5

And the decimal form of given fraction 83/5 is:

83/5 = 16.6

After 7 days, he would sold (16 3/5) × 7 bushels.

We simplify an expression (16 3/5) × 7

(16 3/5) × 7 = 16.6 × 7

                  = 116.2

As a result, the farmer would have only 120 - 116.2 = 3.8 bushels for sale.

Therefore, the total change in the number of bushels he has for sale after 7 days = 116.2

The lengths of the three sides of a triangle (in centimeters) are consecutive odd
integers. If the perimeter is 45 centimeters, find the value of the shortest of the three
side lengths.

Answers

Answer:

13, 15,17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the first number

Let x + 2 = the second number

Let x + 4 = the third number

Consecutive means in order like 1,2,3 or 20,21,22. Consecutive odd means that you want three numbers in order that are odd.  Each number would be 2 more than the number before.  For example 5 + 2 = 7.  We would have to add 4 to 5 to find the next consecutive odd number.

x + (x + 2) + (x +4)  = 45  I put the numbers in parentheses so you could see the first number plus the second number plus the third number equals 45

x + x+ 2 + x+ 4 = 45  Combine like terms

3x + 6 = 45  Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.

3x = 39  Divide both sides by 3

x = 13

Add 2 to that to get the next odd number.

Add 4 to 13 to get the third odd number.

Answer: 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the value of the shortest of the three side lengths is x.

Since the three sides of a triangle are consecutive odd

integers, hence: x, x+2, x+4.

Thus,

[tex]P=x+(x+2)+(x+4)\\45=x+x+2+x+4\\45=3x+6\\45-6=3x+6-6\\39=3x\\[/tex]

What is the product of −2 1/4 and 2 1/2?
help me

Answers

The problem is asking for the product, meaning we need to multiply.

-2 1/4 * 2 1/2

To make multiplying easier, we can convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

2 * 4 = 8, + 1 = 9/4

2 * 2 = 4, + 1 = 5/2

Now, we have this:

-9/4 * 5/2

Since the denominators are different, we can find the least common multiple of the denominators to make them the same. In this case, the least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4.

-9/4 * 1 = -9/4

5/2 * 2 = 10/4

Now, we have this:

-9/4 * 10/4

We can now multiply!

-9 * 10 = -90

/4 * /4 = /16

= -90/16

You can simply the improper fraction if you'd like.

-90 / 16 = -5.625

So, our answer is -90/16, or -5.625.

Kiara has $250 in her bank account. Each week she deposits $80 and withdraws $35. Gael has $310 in his account. Each week he deposits $95 and withdraws
$20. Write and solve an equation to determine the week w when Gael and Kiara have the same amounts of money in their account

Answers

The equation to determine the week w when Gael and Kiara have the same amounts of money in their account is 45w + 250 = 75w + 310

What is an equation?

An equation is used to show the relationship between numbers and variables. An equation can be linear, quadratic depending on the degree.

Let w represent the number of weeks.

For Kiara:

Money in account = (80 - 35)w + 250 = 45w + 250

For Gael:

Money in account = (95 - 20)w + 310 = 75w + 310

For both to have same amount of money:

45w + 250 = 75w + 310

The equation to determine the week w when Gael and Kiara have the same amounts of money in their account is 45w + 250 = 75w + 310

Answer:

60 percent

I think it is 60 but you might need a more certifyd answer

Answer:  250%

==================================================

Explanation:

A is 40% of B

This translates to the equation A = 0.40B or A = 0.4B

This is because 40% converts to 0.40 in decimal form

Let's divide both sides by 0.4 to isolate B

A = 0.4B

A/0.4 = B

B = (1/0.4)A

B = 2.5A

This shows that B is 250% of A

------------

Another approach:

40% = 40/100 = 2/5

"A is 40% of B" is the same as "A is 2/5 of B

So,

A = (2/5)*B

5A = 2B

2B = 5A

B = 5A/2

B = (5/2)A

B = 2.5A

which is another way to show that B is 250% of A
