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 1

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%.

Christine has always been weak in mathematics. Based on her performance prior to the final exam in Calculus, there is a 65% chance that she will fail the course if she does not have a tutor. With a tutor, her probability of failing decreases to 35%. There is only a 75% chance that she will find a tutor at such short notice. a. What is the probability that Christine fails the course? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

0.49

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply conditional probability to solve this question.

We have Events X and Events Y

P(X) = Probability Christine fails the course = ??? Unknown

P(Y) = Probability Christine finds a tutor

= 0.35

P(Y') = Probability Christine does not find a tutor = 1 - 0.35 = 0.75

P(X|Y) = Decrease in her probability of failing = 0.35

P(X|Y') = Probability that she will fail the course if she does not have a tutor

P(X) = P(X|Y) × P(Y) + P(X|Y') × P(Y')

P(X) = 0.35 × 0.75 + 0.65 × 0.35

P(X) = 0.2625 + 0.2275

P(X) = 0.49

The probability that Christine fails the course is 0.49

According to Masterfoods, the company that manufactures M&M’s, 12% of peanut M&M’s are brown, 15% are yellow, 12% are red, 23% are blue, 23% are orange and 15% are green. [Round your answers to three decimal places, for example: 0.123]


Compute the probability that a randomly selected peanut M&M is not yellow.


Compute the probability that a randomly selected peanut M&M is brown or red.


Compute the probability that three randomly selected peanut M&M’s are all brown.


If you randomly select three peanut M&M’s, compute that probability that none of them are blue.


If you randomly select three peanut M&M’s, compute that probability that at least one of them is blue.

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

P(brown) = 12% = 0.12

P(Yellow) = 15% = 0.15

P(Red) = 12% = 0.12

P(blue) = 23% = 0.23

P(orange) = 23% = 0.23

P(green) = 15% = 0.15

A.) Compute the probability that a randomly selected peanut M&M is not yellow.

P(not yellow) = P(Yellow)' = 1 - P(Yellow) = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

B.) Compute the probability that a randomly selected peanut M&M is brown or red.

P(Brown) or P(Red) :

0.12 + 0.12 = 0.24

C.) Compute the probability that three randomly selected peanut M&M’s are all brown.

P(brown) * P(brown) * P(brown)

0.12 * 0.12 * 0.12 =0.001728

D.) If you randomly select three peanut M&M’s, compute that probability that none of them are blue.

P(3 blue)' = 1 - P(3 blue)

P(3 blue) = 0.23 * 0.23 * 0.23 = 0.012167

1 - P(3 blue) = 1 - 0.012167 = 0.987833

If you randomly select three peanut M&M’s, compute that probability that at least one of them is blue.

P(1 blue) + p(2 blue) + p(3 blue)

(0.23) + (0.23*0.23) + (0.23*0.23*0.23)

0.23 + 0.0529 + 0.012167

= 0.295067

Answers

Answer:

True : It is an example of a continuous variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerical variables acn be classed as either being discrete or continuous based on whether the values in the data set are finite and countable or not.

Discrete variables are characterized by possessing a finite number of possible values which are countable and usually do not involve decimal numbers in between successive whole numbers.

On the other hand continuous variables are non finite and usually contains a lot of points in between possible whole numbers such as in the scenario above, the race time for the students take up any number within minutes, seconds and milliseconds. Hence, making the possible Numner of values impossible to predict or state.

Step-by-step explanation:

3y+21=4x.........now subtract 21 from each side

y=%284%2F3%29x-7......there ya go ...slope is 4/3 and y intercept is -7

Answer:

B (-3,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

awnser A is incorrect because if you switch out the x for 3 and the y for -8. The equation would look like -3+3×(-8)=21. and after multiplying 3×-8 which equals -24. The equation turns into -3+(-24)=21 . And after adding -3 and -24 you get -27=21

awnser B is correct because if you switch out the x for -3 and the y for 8. The equation would look like -3+3×8=21. After multiplying 3×8 which equals 24. The equation turns into -3+24=21. And after adding -3and 24 which is pretty much subtracting you get 21=21.

The population of a community is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people present at time t. The initial population P0 has doubled in 5 years. Suppose it is known that the population is 9,000 after 3 years.

Required:
a, What was the initial population P0?
b. How fast is the population growing at t = 10?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial population of a community be P0 and the population after time t is P(t).

If the population of a community is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people present at time t, this is expressed as:

[tex]P(t) = P_0e^{kt}[/tex]

at t = 5 years, P(t) = 2P0

substitute:

[tex]2P_0 = P_0e^{5k}\\2 = e^{5k}\\ln2 = lne^{5k}\\ln2 = 5k\\k = \frac{ln2}{5}\\k = 0.1386[/tex]

If the population is 9,000 after 3 years

at t = 3, P(t) = 9000

a) Substitute into the formula to get P0

[tex]9000 = P_0e^{0.1386\times 3}\\9000 = P_0e^{0.4158}\\9000 = 1.5156P_0\\P_0 = \frac{9000}{1.5156}\\ P_0 = 5938.24[/tex]

Hence the initial population is approximately 5938.

b) In order to know how fast the population growing at t = 10, we will substitute t = 10 into the formula as shown:

[tex]P(10) = 5938.24e^{0.1386(10)}\\P(10) = 5938.24e^{1.386}\\P(10) = 5938.24(3.9988)\\P(10) = 23,745.97[/tex]

Hence the population of the community after 10 years is approximately 23,746
