Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 4.8 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.4 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) 0.0985 = 9.85% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm.

b) 0.0582 = 5.82% probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm.

c) 0.8433 = 84.33% probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Normally distributed, with a mean of 4.8 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.4 mm.

This means that [tex]\mu = 4.8, \sigma = 1.4[/tex]

a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{3 - 4.8}{1.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.29[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.29[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0985

0.0985 = 9.85% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm.

b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{7 - 4.8}{1.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.57[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.57[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9418

1 - 0.9418 = 0.0582

0.0582 = 5.82% probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm.

c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 7 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3. From questions a and b, we have these pvalues. So

0.9418 - 0.0985 = 0.8433

0.8433 = 84.33% probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm.

Answers

Answer:

442 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

To properly solve this question, I illustrate some given parameters using attached image

From the image, apply Pythagoras theorem

[tex]x^2 + 1^2 = y^2[/tex]

Differentiate w.r.t time (t)

[tex]2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 0 = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

From the question, we have that the plan travels are 510mi/h.

This implies that:

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = 510mi/h[/tex]

So, we then calculate the value of x when the distance (y) is 2mi i.e.:

[tex]y = 2mi[/tex]

Apply Pythagoras theorem

[tex]x^2 + 1^2 = y^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2 + 1^2 = 2^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2 + 1 = 4[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = 4-1[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = 3[/tex]

[tex]x = \sqrt 3[/tex]

So, the expression becomes:

[tex]x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt 3 * 510 = 2* \frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt 3 * 510}{2} = \frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt 3 * 255 = \frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 255\sqrt 3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 255 * 1.7321[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 441.655[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 442[/tex]

Hence, the distance is 442 miles

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

For an object at temperature T and supposing that the ambient temperature is Ta then we can write the differential equation that typifies the Newton law of cooling as follows;

dT/dt=-k(T-Tₐ)

So

dT/dt = 2 degrees Celsius per minute

T = 70 degrees Celsius

Ta = 25 degrees Celsius

2 = -k(70 - 25)

-k = 2/(70 - 25)

k = - 0.044

Hence we can write;

dT/dt=-(- 0.044)(95-25)

dT/dt= 3 degrees Celsius per minute

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much each apple costs, you have to divide the price by how many apples he brought.

1.12/4 = 0.28

Each apple costs $0.28

Now, you have to divide 2.52 by 0.28.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean and standard deviation of X is 0.4.0, 0.61. The correct option is B.

What is standard deviation and mean?

A standard deviation (or ) is a measurement of the degree of dispersion of the data from the mean. A low standard deviation implies that the data are grouped around the mean, whereas a large standard deviation shows that the data are more dispersed.

The average degree of variability in your data set is represented by the standard deviation. It reveals the average deviation of each score from the mean.

The average of a group of variables is referred to as the mean in mathematics and statistics. There are several methods for calculating the mean, including simple arithmetic means (adding the numbers together and dividing the result by the number of observations), geometric means, and harmonic means.

Mean = sum of terms/number of terms

Therefore, the correct option is B, 0.4.0, 0.61.

g The distribution of the monthly amount spent on childcare in a Midwestern city has a mean of $675 and a standard deviation of $80. A random sample of 64 families in this city paying for childcare is selected. Find the probability that the sample mean is less than $650. (Round the result to 4 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

0.0062 = 0.62% probability that the sample mean is less than $650.

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 z-score 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 p-value, 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.

Mean of $675 and a standard deviation of $80.

This means that [tex]\mu = 675, \sigma = 80[/tex]

A random sample of 64 families in this city paying for childcare is selected.

This means that [tex]n = 64, s = \frac{80}{\sqrt{64}} = 10[/tex]

Find the probability that the sample mean is less than $650.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 650.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{650 - 675}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0062

0.0062 = 0.62% probability that the sample mean is less than $650.

The probability that the sample mean is less than $650 is 0.62%.

The z score is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} } \\\\where\ x=raw\ score,\sigma=standard\ deviation,\mu=mean,n=sample\ size\\\\\\Given \ \mu=675,\sigma=80,n=84, hence:\\\\For\ x<650:\\\\z=\frac{650-675}{80/\sqrt{64} } =-2.5[/tex]

From the normal distribution table:

P(x < 650) = P(z < -2.5) = 0.0062 = 0.62%

The probability that the sample mean is less than $650 is 0.62%.
