Paleomagnetic studies of Canadian volcanic rock known as the Carmacks Group have recently been completed. The studies revealed that the northward displacement of the rock units has an approximately normal distribution with a standard deviation of 500 kilometers (Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, Vol. 27, 1990). One group of researchers estimated the mean displacement at 1,200 kilometers, whereas a second group estimated the mean at 1,000 kilometers.
Required:
a. Assuming the mean is 1500 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?
b. Assuming the mean is 1200 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?
c. If, in fact, the northward displacement is less than 500 kilometers, which is the more plausible mean, 1200 or 1500 kilometers?
Answer:
a) 0.0228 = 2.28% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers
b) 0.0808 = 8.08% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers
c) 1200 kilometers, because in this case, the will be a higher probability of a northward displacement that is less than 500 kilometers.
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.
Standard deviation of 500 kilometers
This means that [tex]\sigma = 500[/tex]
a. Assuming the mean is 1500 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?
Mean of 1500 km means that [tex]\mu = 500[/tex]
The probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 500. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{500 - 1500}{500}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0228
0.0228 = 2.28% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers.
b. Assuming the mean is 1200 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?
Now [tex]\mu = 1200[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{500 - 1200}{500}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.4[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.4[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0808
0.0808 = 8.08% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers.
c. If, in fact, the northward displacement is less than 500 kilometers, which is the more plausible mean, 1200 or 1500 kilometers?
1200 kilometers, because in this case, the will be a higher probability of a northward displacement that is less than 500 kilometers.

Answer:
x = 63.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x in the given right triangle, we would apply trigonometric function.
Reference angle = x
Side length Opposite to x = 17
Hypotenuse length = 19
Apply SOH:
[tex] sin(x) = \frac{Opp}{Hyp} [/tex]
[tex] sin(x) = \frac{17}{19} [/tex]
[tex] x = sin^{-1}(\frac{17}{19}) [/tex]
x = 63.474648° ≈ 63.5° (nearest tenth)
an angle measures 176 degrees more than the measure of its supplementary angle. what is the measure of each angle
Answer:
One angle measures 178º, and the other measures 2º.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that an angle measures 176 degrees more than the measure of its supplementary angle, to determine what is the measure of each angle, the following calculation must be performed, knowing that the sum between two complementary angles gives 180º:
(180 - 176) / 2 = X
4/2 = X
2 = X
180 - 2 = 178
Thus, one angle measures 178º, and the other measures 2º.
A triangle has sides with lengths of 10 centimeters, 23 centimeters, and 26 centimeters. Is it
a right triangle?
Answer:
No, it is not a right triangle. It is an obtuse triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
How to know a right traingle
A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is a 90∘ angle. The "square" at the vertex of the angle indicates that it is 90 degrees. A triangle can be determined to be a right triangle if the side lengths are known. If the lengths satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem (a2+b2=c2) then it is a right triangle.
Which of the following lines is perpendicular to the line 8x + 6y = 12 and passes through the point (-12,-2)?
Answer:
y = 3/4x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 6y = 12
6y = -8x + 12
y = -4/3x + 2
Perpendicular slope: 3/4
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 2 = 3/4(x + 12)
y + 2 = 3/4x + 9
y = 3/4x + 7
Suppose that grade point averages of undergraduate students at one university have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 2.56 and a standard deviation of 0.43. Using the empirical rule, what percentage of the students have grade point averages that are between 2.13 and 2.99
Answer:
Approximately 68% of the students have grade point averages that are between 2.13 and 2.99.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this question, we have that:
Mean = 2.56
Standard deviation = 0.43
What percentage of the students have grade point averages that are between 2.13 and 2.99?
2.56 - 0.43 = 2.13
2.56 + 0.43 = 2.99
Within one standard deviation of the mean, so, by the Empirical Rule:
Approximately 68% of the students have grade point averages that are between 2.13 and 2.99.

A scientist measured a museum specimen. She recorded the measurement as 75 centimeters. What could the scientist have been measuring? length of a dinosaur bone
mass of a dinosaur bone
length of a gem
mass of a gem
Answer:
75cm is the measurment
Step-by-step explanation:
It would have had to have been the lenght of the gem because 75cm or 75 centimeters is a measurment not the mass of something. The mass is the amount of matter in an object.

The Jones family took a 16 mile canoe ride down the Indian River in two hours. After lunch, the return trip back up the river took four hours. Find the rate,
in mph, of the canoe in still water and the rate of the current.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
canoe 6 mphcurrent 2 mphStep-by-step explanation:
The speed downriver was (16 mi)/(2 h) = 8 mph. The speed upriver was (16 mi)/(4 h) = 4 mph. The canoe's speed in still water is the average of these speeds: (8+4)/2 = 6 miles per hour.
The current's speed is the difference between the actual speed and the canoe's speed: 8 -6 = 2 miles per hour.
The speed of the canoe in still water is 6 mph; the rate of the current is 2 mph.

Answer:
12 m³
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottom platform has dimensions 2m × 4m × 3m, so a volume of ...
V = LWH
V = (2 m)(4 m)(3 m) = 24 m³
The top platform has dimensions 2m × 3m × 2m, so a volume of ...
V = (2 m)(3 m)(2 m) = 12 m³
The bottom platform has a larger volume by ...
24 m³ -12 m³ = 12 m³
The bottom prism has a 12 m³ larger volume.
Answer:
the answer is 12m squared
The leading brand of cosmetics in the US had about 20% of the total sales in the industry. The total
sales were $2.6 billion. What was the leading brands sales? Show your work.
Answer:
The answer is $520,000,000
Step-by-step explanation:
To find twenty percent of the total $2.6 billion, all you need to do is multiply 2.6 billion * 20%
2.6, 000,000,000 * 20% (or 1/5) is 520,000,000
Since this answer is reasonable, the answer is $520,000,000
