1) Suppose the heights of 18-year-old men are approximately normally distributed, with mean 71 inches and standard deviation 5 i

nches.
a)
What is the probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is between 70 and 72 inches tall? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
b)
If a random sample of twenty-six 18-year-old men is selected, what is the probability that the mean height x is between 70 and 72 inches? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
c)
Compare your answers to parts (a) and (b). Is the probability in part (b) much higher? Why would you expect this?
!) The probability in part (b) is much higher because the mean is larger for the x distribution.
!!) The probability in part (b) is much lower because the standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution.
!!!) The probability in part (b) is much higher because the standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution.
!!!!) The probability in part (b) is much higher because the mean is smaller for the x distribution.
!!!!!) The probability in part (b) is much higher because the standard deviation is larger for the x distribution.
2) Let x be a random variable that represents the level of glucose in the blood (milligrams per deciliter of blood) after a 12 hour fast. Assume that for people under 50 years old, x has a distribution that is approximately normal, with mean = 66 and estimated standard deviation = 45. A test result x < 40 is an indication of severe excess insulin, and medication is usually prescribed.
a)
What is the probability that, on a single test, x < 40? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
b)
Suppose a doctor uses the average x for two tests taken about a week apart. What can we say about the probability distribution of x? Hint: See Theorem 6.1.
!) The probability distribution of x is approximately normal with x = 66 and x = 45.
!!) The probability distribution of x is approximately normal with x = 66 and x = 22.50.
!!!) The probability distribution of x is approximately normal with x = 66 and x = 31.82.
!!!!) The probability distribution of x is not normal.

c) What is the probability that x < 40? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
d) Repeat part (b) for n = 3 tests taken a week apart. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
e) Repeat part (b) for n = 5 tests taken a week apart. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
f) Compare your answers to parts (a), (b), (c), and (d). Did the probabilities decrease as n increased?
Yes
NO
g) Explain what this might imply if you were a doctor or a nurse.
!) The more tests a patient completes, the weaker is the evidence for lack of insulin.
!!) The more tests a patient completes, the stronger is the evidence for lack of insulin.
!!!) The more tests a patient completes, the weaker is the evidence for excess insulin.
!!!!) The more tests a patient completes, the stronger is the evidence for excess insulin.

Answer:

Suppose the heights of 18-year-old men are approximately normally distributed, with mean 71 inches and standard deviation 4 inches.

(a) What is the probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is between 70 and 72 inches tall? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

z1 = (70-71)/4 = -0.25

z2 = (72-71/4 = 0.25

P(70<X<72) = p(-0.25<z<0.25) = 0.1974

Answer: 0.1974

(b) If a random sample of thirteen 18-year-old men is selected, what is the probability that the mean height x is between 70 and 72 inches? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

z1 = (70-71)/(4/sqrt(13)) = -0.9014

z2 = (72-71/(4/sqrt(13)) = 0.9014

P(70<X<72) = p(-0.9014<z<0.9014) = 0.6326

Answer: 0.6326

What is the circumference of the circle? Use 3.14 for x
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

C = 6.28r

Step-by-step explanation:

If the circumference of a circle is C, then C = 2(3.14)r, where r is the radius.

Then C = 6.28r

Spin a spinner numbered 1 to 5 and toss a coin. What is the probability of spinning an odd number
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. 3/10.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's calculate the probability of spinning an odd number:

We can spin an odd number (1, 3 or 5) out of 5 events, it means that the probability of spinning an odd number is:

3/5

2. Let's calculate the probability of getting tails on the coin:

We can toss a coin and get tails one out of 2 events, it means that the probability of getting tails on the coin is:

1/2

3. These are independent events because the fact that we spin an odd number does not affect the probability of getting tails on the coin, thus:

Probability of spinning an odd number  and getting tails on the coin =

3/5 * 1/2 = 3/10

<u>The correct answer is B. 3/10</u>

(12) (13) Geometry<br><br> Check Ans<br><br> 12) x = 5 y = 2<br> 13 x = 12 y = 13/3
brilliants [131]
Problem 12)

You are correct. You solve the system
x+1 = 3y
3x-4 = 5y+1
for x and y to find that x = 5 and y = 2

As a check
x+1 = 3y
5+1 = 3*2
6 = 6 ... true equation
and
3x-4 = 5y+1
3*5-4 = 5*2+1
11 = 11 ... true equation
Both equations are true when (x,y) = (5,2) so the answer is confirmed

Problem 13)

Unfortunately the diagram is cut off so its impossible to say at the moment. Please repost this one. Thank you.
