Answers

Answer 1

Answer

a. 0.856

b. 0.78071

c. It is not unusual

d. 13.65 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

The life span of a domestic cat is normally distributed with a mean of 15.7 years and a standard deviation of 1.6 years.

We solve this question using z score formula:

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

a. Find the probability that a cat will live to be older than 14 years.

For x > 14 years

z = 14 - 15.7/1.6

z = -1.0625

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<14) = 0.144

P(x>14) = 1 - P(x<14) = 0.856

b. Find the probability that a cat will live between 14 and 18 years.

For x = 14 years

z = 14 - 15.7/1.6

z = -1.0625

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 14) = 0.144

For x = 18 years

z = 18 - 15.7/1.6

z= 1.4375

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 18) = 0.92471

The probability that a cat will live between 14 and 18 years is calculated as:

P(x = 18) - P(x = 14)

0.92471 - 0.144

= 0.78071

c. If a cat lives to be over 18 years, would that be unusual? Why or why not?

For x > 18 years

z = 18 - 15.7/1.6

z= 1.4375

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<18) = 0.92471

P(x>18) = 1 - P(x<18) = 0.075288

Converting this to percentage:

0.075288 × 100 = 7.5288%

Hence, 7.5288% of the cats live to be over 18 years. Hence, it is not unusual.

d. How old would a cat have to be to be older than 90% of other cats?

From the question above, 10% of the cats would be older than 90% of other cats.

Hence, we find the z score of the 10th percentile

= -1.282

Hence,

-1.282 = x - 15.7/1.6

Cross Multiply

-1.282 × 1.6 = x - 15.7

- 2.0512 = x - 15.7

x = 15.7 -2.0512

x = 13.6488 years old

Approximately = 13.65 years old

What is the value of y if f||n
?????

Answers

Answer:

y = 148°

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 18 = 2x + 12 (alternate exterior angles are congruent)

Collect like terms

4x - 18 = 2x + 12

4x - 2x = 18 + 12

2x = 20

Divide both sides by 2

x = 10

y = 180 - (2x + 12) (linear pair theorem)

Plug in the value of x

y = 180 - (2(10) + 12)

y = 180 - (20 + 12)

y = 148°

The graph below shows two functions f(x) and g(x)
such that g(x) = f(x) +k
Enter the value of kin the box below.
k=

Answers

Answer:

The value of k is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The image shows the graph of g(x) and f(x). g(x) is shifted up f(x) by a number k such that:

g(x) = f(x) +k

To know the value of k, we select a value for x and calculate the value of k.

For example, for x=0, f(0)=-6, g(0)=1, and:

g(0) = f(0) +k

1 = -6 +k

k = 7

We can select any other value for x which g and f values can be clearly seen. For example, for x=-5, f(-5)=0, g(-5)=7, thus:

g(-5) = f(-5) +k

7 = 0 +k

k = 7

The value of k is 7

Richard is walking around her neighborhood. If he walks

3
mile in

6
hour, how fast is Richard walking, in miles per hour?

Answers

Answer:2 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 times 6

To determine how fast is Richard walking, the concept of average speed comes into picture. The average speed of Richard is 2 miles per hour. Therefore the correct option is option B

What is Average speed?

Average speed can be calculated by dividing total distance traveled by a body to the total time taken for the body to reach its destination.

Now determine how fast is Richard walking, in miles per hour

We have to calculate the average speed which is the ratio of the total distance traveled by a body to the total time

Total distance traveled by Richard = 1/3 mile

Total time taken = 1/6 hour

Average speed =  total distance /  total time

Average speed = (1/3) / (1/6)

Reciprocal the denominator term, and we get

Average speed = (1/3) × 6

Average speed = 2 miles per hour

Therefore, Richard is at an average speed of 2 miles per hour
