A drug made by a pharmaceutical company comes in tablet form. Each tablet is branded as containing 105 mg of the particular active chemical. However, variation in manufacturing results in the actual amount of the active chemical in each tablet following a normal distribution with mean 105 mg and standard deviation 1.513 mg.
A) Calculate the percentage of tablets that will contain less than 104 mg of the active chemical.
B) Suppose samples of 15 randomly selected tablets are taken and the amount of active chemical measured. Calculate the percentage of samples that will have a sample mean of less than 104 mg of the active chemical.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 25.46% of tablets will contain less than 104 mg of the active chemical.

b) 0.52% of samples will have a sample mean of less than 104 mg of the active chemical.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Normal distribution with mean 105 mg and standard deviation 1.513 mg.

This means that [tex]\mu = 105, \sigma = 1.513[/tex]

A) Calculate the percentage of tablets that will contain less than 104 mg of the active chemical.

The proportion is the pvalue of Z when X = 104. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{104 - 105}{1.513}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.66[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.66[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.2546

0.2545*100 = 25.46

25.46% of tablets will contain less than 104 mg of the active chemical.

B) Suppose samples of 15 randomly selected tablets are taken and the amount of active chemical measured. Calculate the percentage of samples that will have a sample mean of less than 104 mg of the active chemical.

Sample means from samples of 15. So, by the Central Limit Theorem:

[tex]n = 15, s = \frac{1.513}{\sqrt{15}} = 0.39[/tex]

The proportion is the pvalue of Z when X = 104. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{104 - 105}{0.39}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.56[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.56[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0052

0.0052*100 = 0.52

0.52% of samples will have a sample mean of less than 104 mg of the active chemical.

After how many seconds will the ball be 2 feet in the air?

a. 0.125

b. 0.5

c. 0.71

d. 0.625

Answers

Answer:

c. 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

[tex]ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0[/tex].

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]

The height of the candy after t seconds is given by the following equation:

[tex]h(t) = -16t^2 + 10t + 3[/tex]

After how many seconds will the ball be 2 feet in the air?

This is t for which [tex]h(t) = 2[/tex]

So

[tex]h(t) = -16t^2 + 10t + 3[/tex]

[tex]2 = -16t^2 + 10t + 3[/tex]

[tex]-16t^2 + 10t + 1 = 0[/tex]

So

[tex]a = -16, b = 10, c = 1[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac = 10^2 -4(-16)(1) = 164[/tex]

[tex]t_{1} = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{164}}{2*(-16)} = -0.09[/tex]

[tex]t_{2} = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{164}}{2*(-16)} = 0.71[/tex]

Since time is a positive measure, the answer is 0.71, which is option c.

An element with mass 510 grams decays by 26.3% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 7 minutes, ?

Answers

Answer: The element is remaining after 7 minutes = 60.23 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for mass decay :

[tex]A=A_0(1-r)^t[/tex], where [tex]A_0[/tex] = initial mass, A = mass after t minutes.

Given: [tex]A_0=510\ grams[/tex]

r = 26.3% = 0.263

t = 7 minutes

[tex]A=510(1-0.263)^7\\\\=510(0.737)^7\\\\=510(0.118106123435)\approx60.23\ grams[/tex]

Hence, the element is remaining after 7 minutes = 60.23 grams

Answer:

vertical shrink by a factor of 1/3shift right 2 unitsshift down 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformations of interest here are ...

  g(x) = k·f(x) . . . . . vertically scale f(x) by a factor of k

  g(x) = f(x -h) . . . . shift f(x) right by h units

  g(x) = f(x) +k . . . . shift f(x) up by k units

__

Working left to right, the first factor we encounter is 1/3, multiplying the value that is cubed. This means the vertical scale factor of f(x) = x^3 is 1/3. A scale factor less than 1 represents a shrink, so ...

  transformation #1 = shrink by a factor of 1/3

The next number we encounter is -2 in the factor (x -2)^3. This means h=2 in f(x -h) = (x -2)^3. The horizontal shift right is 2 units:

  transformation #2 = right shift 2 units

Finally, we encounter the number -4. This means k=-4 in g(x)=f(x)+k. The up-shift is negative, so ...

  transformation #3 = shift down 4 units

__

The right- and down-shifts can be done in either order. Here, we have done them as we see them when scanning the equation left-to-right. The vertical scaling must be done before the down-shift, so that it does not affect the amount of down-shift.

Law of Sines to be more specific

So basically [tex]\frac{7}{sin(70)} = \frac{x}{sin(90)}[/tex]

Step on multiply each side by sin(90)

now we have

[tex]x=\frac{7*sin(90)}{sin(70)}[/tex]

7*sin90=7

You go to Giant to buy some candy. You decide to buy snickers because they have a special deal on snickers. A pound of snickers costs $3.45, but if you buy 4 or more pounds, they only cost $3.00per bag. Write a piecewise function to represent this situation.​

Answers

Answer:

y = x*$3.45 if   0 ≤ x < 4

y = x*$3.00 if   4 ≤ x

Step-by-step explanation:

A piecewise function is a function that behaves differently in diferent intervals of it's domain.

We know that 1lb of candy costs $3.45

But if you buy 4 lb or more, the cost of each lb is $3.00

Then if x represents the number of pounds of candy that you buy, we have the equation:

y = x*$3.45     if     0 ≤ x < 4

y = x*$3.00     if     4 ≤ x
