The average time it takes a certain brand of ibuprofen to start working is 25 minutes, with a standard deviation of 13 minutes,

distributed normally. A pharmacist randomly samples 20 pills from this brand, because she is researching different brands in order to find the quickest acting ibuprofen to recommend to her customers. Identify the following to help her make her recommendations, rounding to the nearest hundredth if necessary:

The following to help her make her recommendations.

\mu = 25 min

\sigma=  13 min

n= 20.

\mu_{\bar{x}}=\mu = 25 min

<h3>What is standard deviation?</h3>

An indicator of how much a group of numbers vary or are dispersed is the standard deviation. When the standard deviation is low, the values tend to fall within a narrow range of the set's mean, but when it is large, the values tend to deviate from that mean more.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

The random variable X should stand in for how long it takes for a specific brand of ibuprofen to start working.

(a)

A certain brand of ibuprofen typically starts acting after 25 minutes.

Which is. \mu = 25 min

(b)

A specific brand of ibuprofen has a 13-minute standard variation for when it begins to work.

Which is. \sigma= 13 min

(c)

A pharmacist has chosen a 20-piece sample.

Which is. n= 20.

(d)

The sample means' mean is:

\mu_{\bar{x}}=\mu = 25 min

I understand that the question you are looking for is:

The average time it takes a certain brand of ibuprofen to start working is 25 minutes, with a standard deviation of 13 minutes, distributed normally. A pharmacist randomly samples 20 pills from this brand, because she is researching different brands in order to find the quickest acting ibuprofen to recommend to her customers. Identify the following to help her make her recommendations, rounding to the nearest hundredth if necessary:

a. mu = ______ minute

b. sigma = ______ minute

c. n = ______

d. mu-x = _______ minute

melomori [17]

Answer:

26.5265

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Confidence Interval</u>

When the population standard deviation \sigma is known, the formula for a confidence interval for a population mean \bar x is:

\displaystyle \bar x \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Where n is the sample size and z is the corresponding z-value from the standard normal distribution for the selected confidence level. The value of z for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96. The rest of the values are

\bar x=28.2,\ \sigma=2.7, \ n=10

Calculating the confidence interval

\displaystyle 28.2 \pm 1.96\frac{2.7}{\sqrt{10}}

\displaystyle 28.2 \pm 1.6735

Or, equivalently

It takes a train 60 seconds to completely drive through a bridge of 1260 m, and 90 seconds to completely drive through a tunnel
Olegator [25]

The length of train is 120 meters

The speed of train is 25 meter per second

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

The speed is given by formula:

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Given that,

It takes a train 60 seconds to completely drive through a bridge of 1260 m

And 90 seconds to completely drive through a tunnel of 2010 m

Let the length of the train be "x"

<em><u>The total distance travelled by the train across the bridge is given by:</u></em>

total distance = x + 1260 + x = 2x + 1260

[ here we use x + x to represent that train completely drives through bridge ]

The time taken is given as 60 seconds

<em><u>Therefore, the speed is given as:</u></em>

speed = \frac{2x+ 1260}{60}

<em><u>The total distance travelled by the train through the tunnel is given by:</u></em>

total distance = x + 2010 + x = 2x + 2010

The time taken is given as 90 seconds

<em><u>Therefore, the speed is given as:</u></em>

speed = \frac{2x+ 2010}{90}

The speed of the train was the same in both cases.

Equate both speeds

\frac{2x+ 1260}{60} = \frac{2x+ 2010}{90}

\frac{x+630}{30} = \frac{x+1005}{45}

45(x+630) = 30(x+1005)\\\\45x + 28350 = 30x + 30150\\\\45x - 30x = 30150 - 28350\\\\15x = 1800\\\\x = 120

Thus length of train is 120 meters

<em><u>Find the speed of train:</u></em>

speed = \frac{2x+ 1260}{60}\\\\speed = \frac{2(120) + 1260)}{60}\\\\speed = 25

Thus speed of train is 25 meter per second

Describe two different ways that you could find the product 8 x 997 using mental math. Find the product and explain why your met
jolli1 [7]
One method is to round 997 up to 1000, multiply by 8, and then subtract 8 times 3. This would give you the solution of 7976.

Another method (Which I personally wouldn't use) is to recursively double 997. This is more difficult, although effective. After you double 997, double the resulting number, and then double the resulting number from that, you have the solution. This is because 2^3 is 8.
