On average, indoor cats live to 16 years old with a standard deviation of 2.5 years. Suppose that the distribution is normal. Let X = the age at death of a randomly selected indoor cat. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible.


a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N([],[])


b. Find the probability that an indoor cat dies when it is between 17.2 and 19.6 years old.[]



c. The middle 20% of indoor cats' age of death lies between what two numbers?

Low: [] years

High: [] years

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) N (16, 2.5²)

(b) 0.241

(c) Low: 15.4 years

    High: 16.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the age at death of a randomly selected indoor cat.

(a)

The distribution of X is:

[tex]X\sim N(\mu = 16, \sigma^{2}=2.5^{2})[/tex]

(b)

Compute the probability that an indoor cat dies when it is between 17.2 and 19.6 years old as follows:

[tex]P(17.2<X<19.6)=P(\frac{17.2-16}{2.5}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{19.6-16}{2.5})[/tex]

                            [tex]=P(0.48<Z<1.44)\\=P(Z<1.44)-P(Z<0.48)\\=0.92507-0.68439\\=0.24068\\\approx 0.241[/tex]

Thus, the probability that an indoor cat dies when it is between 17.2 and 19.6 years old is 0.241.

(c)

Compute the two numbers within which 20% of indoor cats' age of death lies as follows:

[tex]P(x_{1}<X<x_{2})=0.20\\\\\Rightarrow P(-z<Z<z)=0.20\\\\P(Z<z)-P(Z<-z)=0.20\\\\P(Z<z)-[1-P(Z<z)]=0.20\\\\2P(Z<z)-1=0.20\\\\2P(Z<z)=1.20\\\\P(Z<z)=0.60[/tex]

The corresponding value of z is, 0.25.

Compute the value of x₁ and x₂ as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\0.25=\frac{x_{1}-16}{2.5}\\\\x_{1}=16+(0.25\times 2.5}\\\\x_{1}=16.625\\\\x_{1}\approx 16.6[/tex]                [tex]z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-0.25=\frac{x_{2}-16}{2.5}\\\\x_{2}=16-(0.25\times 2.5}\\\\x_{2}=15.375\\\\x_{2}\approx 15.4[/tex]

Low: 15.4 years

High: 16.6 years

Question # 36

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $6.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

They said that there was an initial fee along with an hourly fee. They also said that the hourly fee depended on the number of hours put in. Which would be h. So the initial fee stays the same and is just added to the hourly fee. As you can see the fee added on to the hourly fee is $6.oo.

The initial fee to enter the garage is option (C) $6.00.

What is the linear equation?

The linear equation is the algebraic form of equation whose variables has the exponent of one. It is the combination of two variables and a constant value present in them.

For the given situation,

The equations is, T = 6 + 2.50 h

where, h is the parking hours and

T is the total charges in dollars.

The initial fee to enter the garage means there will be no fee for parking,

⇒ [tex]h=0[/tex]

Then the equation becomes,

⇒ [tex]T=6[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the initial fee to enter the garage is option (C) $6.00.

On a family outing, Tyler bought 5 cups of hot cocoa (x)
and 4 pretzels (y) for $18.40. Some of his family members
would like a second serving, so he went back to the same
food stand and bought another 2 cups of hot cocoa (x) and
4 pretzels (y) for $11.20.

Answers

Answers:

x = 2.40

y = 1.60

This means 1 hot cocoa costs $2.40 and 1 pretzel costs $1.60

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

Work Shown:

x = cost of 1 cup of hot cocoa

y = cost of 1 pretzel

5x = cost of 5 cocoas

4y = cost of 4 pretzels

5x+4y = cost of 5 cocoas+4 pretzels

5x+4y = 18.40

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

2x = cost of 2 cocoas

4y = cost of 4 pretzels

2x+4y = cost of 2 cocoas+4 pretzels

2x+4y = 11.20

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

The system of equations we have is

[tex]\begin{cases}5x+4y = 18.40\\2x+4y = 11.20\end{cases}[/tex]

Note how 4y shows up twice. This is handy to be able to get rid of the y terms completely.

How? By subtracting the equations straight down

The x terms subtract to 5x-2x = 3x

The y terms subtract to 4y-4y = 0y = 0 and they go away

The right hand sides subtract to 18.40 - 11.20 = 7.20

After those three separate subtractions, we have this new equation:

3x = 7.20

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

3x/3 = 7.20/3

x = 2.40

Each hot cocoa costs $2.40

Now use this x value to find y. You can pick any equation you want as long as it has x,y in it. I'll pick the first equation

5x+4y = 18.40

5(2.40)+4y = 18.40

12+4y = 18.40

4y = 18.40-12

4y = 6.40

y = 6.40/4

y = 1.60

Each pretzel costs $1.60

If we picked on the second equation, we should get the same y value

Let's find out

2x+4y = 11.20

2(2.40)+4y = 11.20

4.80+4y = 11.20

4y = 11.20-4.80

4y = 6.40

y = 6.40/4

y = 1.60

We get the same result as before.

To check the answers, you need to plug those values back into the two original equations and simplify. You should get the same thing on both sides.

The height of a stack of DVD cases is in a proportional relationship to the number of cases in the stack. A stack of 8 cases and its height are shown. Find the constant of proportionality. Then use the constant of proportionality to find the height of a stack of 13 cases.

Answers

Answer:

a. The equation is y = 19 x

b. The height of 13 DVD cases is 247 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

- A proportional relationship is about two quantities vary directly with

each other

- Ex: If y proportion to x, then y is varies directly with x

 That means y ∝ x ⇒ y = k x, where k is the constant of variation

- The height of a stack of DVD case is proportional to the number of

 case in the stack

- That means the height of DVD cases varies with the number of cases

- The height of 6 DVD case is 114 mm

a.

∵ The number of cases = x

∵ The height of the cases = y

∴ y ∝ x

∴ y = k x

- To find k lets use the first information above

∵ y = 114 mm when x = 6

- Substitute these values in the equation above to find k

∵ 114 = 6 k

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ k = 19

- Substitute the value of k in the equation above

∴ y = 19 x

* The equation is y = 19 x

b.

- We need to find the height of 13 DVD cases

∵ y = 19 x

∵ x = 13

- Substitute the value of x in the equation

∴ y = 19 × 13

∴ y = 247 mm

* The height of 13 DVD cases is 247 mm

The height will be 143 mm for a stack of 13 DVD cases.

What is the constant of proportionality?

The constant of proportionality is the constant value of the ratio of two proportional values. A proportionality relation exists between two changing quantities when either their ratio or product gives a constant.

The overall height of the 8 cases stacked on top of each other is 88 mm.

Because you need to know the height of each individual DVD case, divide the height (88 mm) by the number of DVD cases (8):

⇒ 88/ 8 = 13

⇒ 88 ÷ 8 = 13

Then it asks for the height of a stack of 13 cases, so multiply the 11 (the height of each DVD case) by 13:

11 × 13= 143

Therefore, 13 DVD cases stacked on top of each other have a height of 143 mm.

which explicit formula describes the sequence −9, −3, 3, 9, 15, …?
Group of answer choices

an = 9n + 6

an = 6n + 15

an = 6n - 15

an = 9n – 6

Answers

Answer:  an = 6n - 15   (Choice C)

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

Explanation:

This sequence is arithmetic

The first term is a = -9

The common difference is d = 6 since we're adding 6 to each term to get the next one (eg: -3+6 = 3 or 3+6 = 9 or 9+6 = 15)

Plug those values into the arithmetic nth term formula below

an = a + d*(n-1)

an = -9 + 6*(n-1)

an = -9 + 6n-6

an = 6n - 15

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

As a check, let's plug in something like n = 1

an = 6n - 15

a1 = 6*1 - 15

a1 = 6 - 15

a1 = -9

We see that the 1st term is -9, which matches the sequence given

Now let's plug in n = 2

an = 6n - 15

a2 = 6*2 - 15

a2 = 12 - 15

a2 = -3

The 2nd term is -3. This also matches.

I'll let you check the other values of n to confirm the answer.

we can work backwards by figuring out what 9(the answer) is multiplied by to get 111,111,102 (the starting number) we can do this by dividing by 9:

111,111,102/9 = 12,345,678

a mercury thermometer records a temperature of 8 degrees fahrenheit at 10 a.m. if the temperature drops by 3 degrees fahrenheit every hour what will be the temperature by 2 p.m. of the same day ​

Answers

Answer:

-4 Degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Initial\ Temperature = 8[/tex] ---- at 10am

[tex]Difference = -3[/tex]

Required

Determine the final temperature at 2pm

First, we need to determine the hour from 10am to 2pm (Both inclusive)

[tex]Interval = 2pm - 10am + 1hr[/tex]

[tex]Interval = 4hr + 1hr[/tex]

[tex]Interval = 5hr[/tex]

To solve further, we make use of the following Arithmetic Progression formula:

[tex]T_n = a + (n - 1)d[/tex]

Where

[tex]a = 8[/tex] --- Initial

[tex]d = -3[/tex] --- difference

[tex]n = 5[/tex] -- 5th term

[tex]T_n[/tex] --- Final temperature at 2pm

So: we have:

[tex]T_n = 8 + (5 - 1) * -3[/tex]

[tex]T_n = 8 + (4) * -3[/tex]

[tex]T_n = 8 + 4 * -3[/tex]

[tex]T_n = 8 -12[/tex]

[tex]T_n = -4[/tex]

Hence:

The temperature is -4 Degrees Fahrenheit
