Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 3.55

(b) 3.45 and 1.86

(c) 0.25

(d) 0.016

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X denotes the number of people in a group (party) at a restaurant.

(a)

The formula to compute the mean is:

[tex]\mu=\sum {x\cdot P(X=x)}[/tex]

Consider the Excel sheet attached.

The mean is, 3.55.

(b)

The formula to compute the variance is:

[tex]\sigma^{2}=[\sum {x^{2}\cdot P(X=x)}]-(\mu)^{2}[/tex]

Consider the Excel sheet attached.

Compute the variance as follows:

[tex]\sigma^{2}=[\sum {x^{2}\cdot P(X=x)}]-(\mu)^{2}\\\\=16.05-(3.55)^{2}\\\\=3.4475\\\\\approx 3.45[/tex]

The variance is, 3.45.

Compute the standard deviation as follows:

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{\sigma^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{3.45}\\\\=1.85742\\\\\approx 1.86[/tex]

The standard deviation is, 1.86.

(c)

Compute the probability that the next party will be over 4 people as follows:

[tex]P(X>4)=P(X=5)+P(X=6)+P(X=7)+P(X=8)\\\\=0.10+0.05+0.05+0.05\\\\=0.25[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the next party will be over 4 people is 0.25.

(d)

Compute the probability that the next three parties will each be over 4 people as follows:

It is provided that the three parties are independent.

P (Next 3 parties will be each over 4) = [P (X > 4)]³

                                                           [tex]=(0.25)^{3}\\=0.015625\\\approx 0.016[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the next three parties will each be over 4 people is 0.016.

P1=(-1,3) and P2=(5,-1)

Find the distance from p1 to P2

Answers

Answer:

7.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

P1=(-1,3) and P2=(5,-1)

Distance between two points :

d = Sqrt[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

x1 = - 1 ; y1 = 3

x2 = 5 ; y2 = - 1

d = Sqrt[(5 - (-1))² + ((-1) - 3)²]

d = Sqrt[(5 + 1)² + (-1 - 3)²]

d = sqrt[(6)^2 + (-4)^2]

d = sqrt(36 + 16)

d = sqrt(52)

d = 7.21

the y< -2x + 6 is the one that crosses at 6 on the y-axis. the < indicates that you shade BELOW it, so the left side of that line is shaded because it has a negative slope.

the y> 5/4x - 6 is the one that crosses at -6 on the y-axis. the > indicates that you shade ABOVE it, so the left side would also be shaded because it has a positive slope.

so whatever point is in both of those shaded areas would satisfy both inequalities

Three Rivers publishes a catalog each year, last year it had 198 pages back and front. We

print 150 copies. How much does it cost the college if a ream, 500 pages, cost

$7.40 each?

Answers

Answer:

$222

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how many ream was used in the printing forts, to determine how much the College spent.

The catalog is 198 pages, back and front, which means, 1 leaf will take 2 pages. Therefore, 99 pages were used in printing 1 copy of the catalog.

No of pages that were used in printing 150 copies = 150*99 = 14,850 pages.

If 500 pages = 1 realm, therefore,

14,850 pages = 14,850/500 = 29.7.

Since, it's a full team that is sold, let's approximate the number of reams bought to be 30 reams.

If 1 ream costs $7.40, therefore,

30 reams = 30*7.40 = $222

The population of weights of a particular fruit is normally distributed, with a mean of 464 grams and a standard deviation of 6 grams. If 27 fruits are picked at random, then 2% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than how many grams?

Answers

Answer:

If 27 fruits are picked at random, then 2% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than 466.37 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = [tex]\mu = 464[/tex]

Standard deviation =[tex]\sigma = 6[/tex]

We are supposed to find If 27 fruits are picked at random, then 2% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than how many grams i.e.P(X>x)=0.02

The mean weight is in the highest 2%, you want to go to a z-table and find the z-score that where the area to the left of the curve is closest to 0.98.

n = 27

Refer the z -table

P(Z>x)=2.06

[tex]\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}=2.06\\\frac{x-464}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{27}}}=2.06\\x-464=2.06 \times \frac{6}{\sqrt{27}}\\x=(2.06 \times \frac{6}{\sqrt{27}})+464\\x=466.37[/tex]

So, If 27 fruits are picked at random, then 2% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than 466.37 grams

c. Mean: 1.292. Standard Deviation: 0.2211
d. Mean: 1.228, Standard Deviation: 0.2098
e. Mean: 1.292, Standard Deviation: 0.2135

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the ratio of sum of the dataset to the sample size. Mathematically:

[tex]\overline x = \frac{\sum Xi}{N}[/tex]

Xi are the individual periods

N is the sample size

[tex]\sum Xi = 1.06+1.31+1.28+0.99+1.48+1.37+0.98+1.31+1.59+1.55\\\sum Xi = 12.92[/tex]

N = 10

Substitute

[tex]\overline x = \frac{12.92}{10}\\\overline x = 1.292[/tex]

hence the mean of the samples is 1.292

For the standard deviation:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x-\overline x)^2}{N} } \\[/tex]

[tex]\sum (x-\overline x)^2 = (1.06-1.292)^2+ (1.31-1.292)^2+ (1.28-1.292)^2+ (10.99-1.292)^2+ (1.48-1.292)^2+ (1.37-1.292)^2+ (0.98-1.292)^2+ (1.31-1.292)^2+ (1.59-1.292)^2+ (1.55-1.292)^2\\\sum (x-\overline x)^2 = 0.43996[/tex]

Substitute into the formula:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.43996}{10} }} \\\sigma = \sqrt{{0.043996}}} \\\sigma = 0.2098[/tex]

Hence the standard deviation is 0.2098

The equations of sides of a triangle are 2x-3y+5=0, 2x+y=7 and 2x+5y=3. Find the coordinates of the vertices.

Answers

Answer:

Vertices A B y C

A ( 2 , 3 )    B ( -1 , 1 )  C ( 3, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve a two-equation system, by pair of equations as follows

equation (1)   2x - 3y + 5 = 0

equation (2)  2x + y -7    = 0

Solving this system we find let´s say vertex A

0x - 4y +12 = 0      y = 3

Then x ?

2x - 3y + 5 = 0

2x - 9 + 5 = 0     ⇒ 2x = 4     x = 2

Then vertex A ( 2 , 3 )

From equation (1) and (3)

2x - 3y + 5 = 0

2x + 5y - 3 = 0

Agan subtracting (1) - (2)

0x -8y + 8 = 0

y = 1    and      

2x + 5y = 3

2x + 5 = 3

2x = -2

x = -1

Vertex B ( -1 , 1 )

Finally from equation (2) and (3) we get the third vertex C

2x + y - 7 = 0

2x + 5y - 3 = 0

0x -4y -4 = 0

y = 1

2x + y = 7

2x + 1 = 7

2x = 6

x = 3

Low‑density lipoprotein, or LDL, is the main source of cholesterol buildup and blockage in the arteries. This is why LDL is known as "bad cholesterol." LDL is measured in milligrams per deciliter of blood, or mg/dL. In a population of adults at risk for cardiovascular problems, the distribution of LDL levels is normal, with a mean of 123 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 41 mg/dL. If an individual's LDL is at least 1 standard deviation or more above the mean, he or she will be monitored carefully by a doctor. What percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean?

Answers

Answer:

The percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean is 16%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the LDL levels.

It is provided that [tex]X\sim N(123, 41^{2})[/tex].

Compute the probability that a randomly selected individual is will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean as follows:

[tex]P(X\geq \mu+\sigma)=P(X\geq 123+41)[/tex]

                      [tex]=P(X\geq 164)\\\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq \frac{164-123}{41})\\\\=P(Z>1)\\\\=1-P(Z<1)\\\\=1-0.84134\\\\=0.15866\\\\\approx 0.16[/tex]

Thus, the percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean is 16%.

A brother and a sister have a ladder up against an apple tree. One is picking apples and placing them in a sack tied around her waist. The other is holding the ladder steady.Mischa: (standing on the ladder and looking at an apple) I'm not so sure about these. They have a ton of spots and are not quite ripe.Luke: That's alright, we're just making a pie for Sunday dinner anyway. No one will see the spots, and we can add sugar to sweeten them up.Mischa: (Nodding in approval) Yeah, I guess you're right. Mom always likes her pie apples to be a little firm anyways.Suddenly, the wind begins to blow strongly making the ladder tip back and forth slightly.Mischa: (With an alarmed look on her face.)
