Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 5.4 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 0.8 mm. For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities.

a. the thickness is less than 3.0 mm
b. the thickness is more than 7.0 mm
c. the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the required probability is 0.0013

b) the required probability is 0.0288

c) the required probability is 0.9759

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

let x be the thickness measurements

Given that X follows a Normal distribution with mean μ = 5.4

standard deviation σ = 0.8

then z = x-μ / σ = x-5.4 / 0.8   follows standard Normal

 

a) probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

P( x<3 ) = P( x-5.4 / 0.8  <  3-5.4 / 0.8 ) = P( Z < -3.00 ) = 0.0013

Therefore, the required probability is 0.0013

b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm

P( x>7 ) = P( x-5.4 / 0.8  >  7-5.4 / 0.8 ) = P( Z > 2.00)

= 1 - P( Z ≤ 2)

= 1 - 0.9772

= 0.0288

Therefore, the required probability is 0.0288

c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

P(3< x<7 ) = P( x<7) - P(x<3)

= P( x-5.4 / 0.8  >  7-5.4 / 0.8 )  - P( x-5.4 / 0.8  <  3-5.4 / 0.8 )

= P( Z< 2 ) - P( Z < -3)

= 0.9772 - 0.0013

= 0.9759

Therefore, the required probability is 0.9759

Call the response Y for short. Based on a large sample survey, here is a probability model for the answer you will get:8

Answers

Solution :

Days :              0           1        2         3         4          5        6         7

Probability : 0.68     0.05   0.07   0.08   0.05    0.04   0.01    0.02

This is a valid probability distribution.

In the question it is given that call for a response of Y for short of a sample of people aged between 19 years to 25 years.

Also the event that describes the value of call for response greater than 3 i.e. (Y < 3) is a randomly chosen people between the age 19 to 25 years old who has gone to fitness center or did exercise fewer than 3 days.

Valid probability models add up to 1

The probability is a valid probability model

The probability model is given as:

Days :              0           1        2         3         4          5        6         7

Probability : 0.68     0.05   0.07   0.08   0.05    0.04   0.01    0.02

To determine if the model is a valid probability model, or not

We make use of:

[tex]\mathbf{\sum P(x) = 1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{0.68 + 0.05 + 0.07 + 0.08 + 0.05 + 0.04 + 0.01 + 0.02 = 1}[/tex]

Add the probabilities

[tex]\mathbf{ 1= 1}[/tex]

The above equations shows that:[tex]\mathbf{\sum P(x) = 1}[/tex]

Hence, the probability is a valid probability model

A political action committee wanted to estimate the proportion of county residents who support a change to the county leash law. They took a random sample of 600 county residents and found that the proportion who wanted to change the law was 33% with a margin of error of +/- 4% (with 95% confidence). This implies:_____

a. If we took another sample of 600 residents the sample proportion would definitely be between 29% and 37%.
b. If we take many other samples from this population 95% of them will have a sample proportion that is between 29% and 37%.
c. We can not conclude anything about the population parameter since this is only a sample.
d. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 29% and 37%.
e. There is a 95% chance that the true parameter is 33%.

Answers

Answer:

d. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 29% and 37%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meaning of a confidence interval:

A x% confidence interval being between a and b means that we are x% sure that the true population proportion is between a and b.

In this question:

Sample of 600, proportion who wanted to change the law was 33% with a margin of error of +/- 4% (with 95% confidence). This implies:

From the concept of confidence interval above, the correct answer is:

d. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 29% and 37%.

Events A and B are dependent. Find the missing probability.

P(A) = 0.6
P(B\A) = 0.2
P(A and B) = ???

Answers

Answer:

P(A and B) = 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

Is a measure of the probability of the occurrence of an event, given that another event has already occurred. If event A has occurred, then the probability that event B occurs is given by:

[tex]{\displaystyle P(B\mid A)={\frac {P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}}}[/tex]

Where [tex]P(B\cap A)[/tex] is the probability that both events occur and P(A) is the probability that A occurs.

We are given P(A)=0.6, P(B\mid A)=0.2, and it's required to find P(B\cap A). Solving for the required variable:

[tex]P(B\cap A)=P(B\mid A)*P(A)[/tex]

[tex]P(B\cap A)=0.2*0.6=0.12[/tex]

P(A and B) = 0.12

4 weeks. Find the ratio of the first​ movie's filming time to the second​ movie's filming time. Compare in weeks.

Answers

Answer:

26 /33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of days taken filming first movie = 45 1/2

Number of weeks spent filming second movie = 8 1/4

Concerning days to weeks ;

45 1/2 days = 91/2 days = 91/2 ÷ 7 ;

91 / 2* 1/7 = 91/14 = 6. 5 weeks

Hence,

Ratio of first week fuming to second week filming ;

6.5 weeks : 8 1/4 weeks

6 1/2 : 8 1/4

13 / 2 : 33 /4

13 / 2 * 4 /33

52 / 66

If Log 20 = 1.301 what is the value of Logsub100 20?

I need the step by steps! I can’t find anything videos online to teach this to me

Answers

Answer:

[tex]log_{100}20 = 0.6505[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

log20 = 1.301 (when you see only "log" with no base, it is taken as a base 10)

This basically means:

[tex]10^{1.301} = 20[/tex]  (This is the log in exponential form)

Since we don't know what  [tex]log_{100}20[/tex]  is equal to, we will say  [tex]log_{100}20[/tex] = x

So to solve for [tex]log_{100}20[/tex] = x, you do the same thing. (convert to exponential form)

[tex]100^{x} =20[/tex]

Now you will notice that both of these equations are equal to 20.

Since 20 = 20,

we can say [tex]100^{x}[/tex] = [tex]10^{1.301}[/tex]

Another way of saying 100, is [tex]10^{2}[/tex] (make the bases the same)

Now we get [tex]10^{2x} = 10^{1.301}[/tex]      

(we get 2x because an exponent to the power of an exponent ([tex]2^{x}[/tex]) is the same as 2 * x)

Because you have the same base, you can just ignore the 10s and focus on the exponents. So you get:

2x = 1.301

x = 0.6505

From the given graph, it is clear that the coordinates of A and B are A(1,3) and B(5,1).

The rule of translation is

Using this rule, we get
