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.

Over 4 days, Krista deposited $45 into
her bank account, transferred $30 to a
friend, deposited $59, and withdrew
$18. What was the mean change per day
to Krista's account during that week?

Answers

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

45 - 30 = 15

15 + 59 = 74

74 - 18 = 56

The mean change per day to Krista's account during the week is $ 14

What is Average?

The average value in a set of numbers is the middle value, calculated by dividing the total of all the values by the number of values.

Given data ,

The total sum of money in Krista's account = $45 - $30 + $59 - $18

                                                                             = $56

Total number of days = 4 days

Now ,

Mean change per day = Sum of money in Krista's account / Total number of days

Mean change per day  = 56 / 4

                                      = $ 14

Hence , The mean change per day to Krista's account during the week is $ 14

So Vertical angle proof, QPR is essentially (2x-30) but we need to find x. We know a triangle is 180 degrees and if it's a right angle then two angles add to 90.

So x+(2x+30)=90, 3x+30=90, 90-30=60, 3x=60, x=20. So there you have it. Now put x into the equation, 2(20)+30=70

find the greatest 5 digit number which exactly divide by 16, 56 and 120​

Answers

five-digitsinceStep-by-step explanation:

Ummm.....I have never done this before but I THINK what your supposed to do is find the lcm of all the pairs you can get from those 3 numbers.

so lcm(16,56)=112

lcm(56,120)=840

lcm(16,120)=240

Now take any number from this and take the lcm of that

lcm(112,840)=1680

that is the number if you take the lcm of any of them so it is the lcm of them all but it is not a  number. so  16,56, and 120 are divisible by 2 I just multiplied 1680 by 2 until I got the highest possible 5 digit number which was 53760

Hope that helps :)

Answer:

  99120

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of 16, 56, 120 can be found from their factors:

  16 = 2^4

  56 = 2^3 · 7

  120 = 2^3 · 3 · 5

So, the least common multiple is 2^4×3×5×7 = 1680.

10^5/1680 = 59 r 880

The largest 5-digit number divisible by 16, 56, and 120 is 59×1680 = 99120.

The first four terms of a sequence are shown below:

B.) f(1) = 9, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 4; for n ≥ 1
C.) f(1) = 9, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 5; for n ≥ 1
D.) f(1) = 9, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 5; for n ≥ 1

Answers

Answer:

A.) f(1) = 9, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 4; for n ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first four terms of a sequence are shown below.

Let

f(1) = 9

f(2) = 5

f(3) = 1

f(4) = -3

Therefore we know that

f(2) - f(1) = 5 - 9

f(2) - f(1) = - 4

f(2) = f(1) - 4

f(3) - f(2) = 1 - 5

f(3) - f(2) = - 4

f(3) = f(2) - 4

f(4) - f(3) = -3 - 1

f(4) - f(3) = - 4

f(4) = f(3) - 4

Hence the answer is A.) f(1) = 9, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 4; for n ≥ 1

A brochure claims that the average maximum height a certain type of plant is 0.7 m. A gardener suspects that this estimate is not accurate locally due to soil conditions. A random sample of 43 plants is taken. The mean height of the plants in the sample is 0.65m. Using a 1% level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m. Assume that the population standard deviation is 0.2 m.

Answers

Answer:

We accept the null hypothesis, that is, that the population mean is not different from 0.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

A brochure claims that the average maximum height a certain type of plant is 0.7 m.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{0}: \mu = 0.7[/tex]

A gardener suspects that this estimate is not accurate locally due to soil conditions.

Hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m, which means that the alternate hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{a}: \mu \neq 0.7[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.7 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.7[/tex]

A random sample of 43 plants is taken. The mean height of the plants in the sample is 0.65m.

This means, respectively, that [tex]n = 43, X = 0.65[/tex]

Assume that the population standard deviation is 0.2 m.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.2[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.65 - 0.7}{\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{43}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.64[/tex]

Pvalue of the test:

Since we are testing that the mean is different of a value, and z is negative, the pvalue of the test is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -1.64

z = -1.64 has a pvalue of 0.0505

2*0.0505 = 0.101

Using a 1% level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m.

0.101 > 0.01, which means that we accept the null hypothesis, that is, that the population mean is not different from 0.7.

Answer:

C. 73° and 73°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180° and

Isosceles triangles has two angles with same measurement

it stated in the question that exactly one angle has measure of 34°

So the other two angles must be equal for the triangle to be isosceles

180 - 34 = 146 and this divided by 2

73° and 73° is the answer.
