SOLUTION

From the given data the mean is 62 and standard deviation is 4

It is required to find the probability that a data value is between 57 and 62

That is:

$P(57\lt x\lt65)$

The z scores is calculated using:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Using the x values it follows:

$z=\frac{57-62}{4}=-1.25$

Also,

$z=\frac{65-62}{4}=0.75$

Thus the required probability is:

$P(-1.25The proability is:[tex]P(-1.25This can be expressed as percentage as:[tex]P(-1.25\lt z\lt0.75)=66.8\%$

Therefore the correct option is C

Determine weather randomly picking a blue card from a bag containing all blue cards is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, l

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is certain with probability equal to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is a mathematical framework which helps us to analyze chance of the outcome in a particular experiment. The value of probability is given by the ratio of the possible outcomes favorable to a certain experiment to the total outcomes.

We say an event is certain when the probability is 1 and the probability is zero when the event is uncertain.

Here the experiment is picking a blue card from a bag containing all blue cards.

Possible outcomes are all the cards colored blue in the bag.

Total outcomes are also all the blue cards in the bag.

∴ The value of probability is 1 as the event is certain because if we pick a card from the bag containing only blue cards, it would certainly give us a blue card.

I cant seem to get one of these answers when i work it out. please help

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

first option

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain ( f ￮ g)(x) substitute x = g(x) into f(x) , that is

f( $\frac{1}{2x}$ )

= $\frac{2}{\frac{1}{2x}+3 }$ ( multiply numerator/ denominator by 2x to clear the fraction

= $\frac{2(2x)}{2x(\frac{1}{2x}+3) }$

= $\frac{4x}{1+6x}$

All vectors are in Rn. Check the true statements below:

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A), B) and D) are true

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can prove it as follows:

$Proy_{cv}y=\frac{(y\cdot cv)}{||cv||^2}cv=\frac{c(y\cdot v)}{c^2||v||^2}cv=\frac{(y\cdot v)}{||v||^2}v=Proy_{v}y$

B) When you compute the product Ax, the i-th component is the matrix of the i-th column of A with x, denote this by Ai x. Then, we have that $||Ax||=\sqrt{(A_1 x)^2+\cdots (A_n x)^2}$ . Now, the colums of A are orthonormal so we have that (Ai x)^2=x_i^2. Then $||Ax||=\sqrt{(x_1)^2+\cdots (x_n)^2}=||x||$ .

C) Consider $S=\{(0,2),(2,0)\}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ . This set is orthogonal because $(0,2)\cdot(2,0)=0(2)+2(0)=0$ , but S is not orthonormal because the norm of (0,2) is 2≠1.

D) Let A be an orthogonal matrix in $\mathbb{R}^n$ . Then the columns of A form an orthonormal set. We have that $A^{-1}=A^t$ . To see this, note than the component $b_{ij}$ of the product $A^t A$ is the dot product of the i-th row of $A^t$ and the jth row of $A$ . But the i-th row of $A^t$ is equal to the i-th column of $A$ . If i≠j, this product is equal to 0 (orthogonality) and if i=j this product is equal to 1 (the columns are unit vectors), then $A^t A=I$

E) Consider S={e_1,0}. S is orthogonal but is not linearly independent, because 0∈S.

In fact, every orthogonal set in R^n without zero vectors is linearly independent. Take a orthogonal set $\{u_1,u_2\cdots u_p\}$ and suppose that there are coefficients a_i such that $a_1u_1+a_2u_2\cdots a_nu_n=0$ . For any i, take the dot product with u_i in both sides of the equation. All product are zero except u_i·u_i=||u_i||. Then $a_i||u_i||=0$ then $a_i=0$ .
