The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 247.9 and a standard deviation of

64.7. ​(All units are 1000 ​cells/μ​L.) Using the empirical​ rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3​? b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0​?

Answer:

A) Approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%

B) approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0 = 99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

mean;μ = 247.9

standard deviation;σ = 64.7

A) We want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3.

Now, from the image attached, we can see that from the empirical curve, the probability of 1 standard deviation from the mean is (34% + 34%) = 68 %.

While probability of 2 standard deviations from the mean is (13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5%) = 95%

Thus, approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%

B) Now, we want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0.

53.8 and 442.0 represents 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Let's confirm that.

Since mean;μ = 247.9

standard deviation;σ = 64.7 ;

μ = 247.9

σ = 64.7

μ + 3σ = 247.9 + 3(64.7) = 442

Also;

μ - 3σ = 247.9 - 3(64.7) = 53.8

Again from the empirical curve attached, we cans that at 3 standard deviations from the mean, we have a percentage probability of;

(2.35% + 13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5% + 2.35%) = 99.7%

A random variable X with a probability density function () = {^-x > 0
Sliva [168]

The solutions to the questions are

  • The probability that X is between 2 and 4 is 0.314
  • The probability that X exceeds 3 is 0.199
  • The expected value of X is 2
  • The variance of X is 2

<h3>Find the probability that X is between 2 and 4</h3>

The probability density function is given as:

f(x)= xe^ -x for x>0

The probability is represented as:

P(x) = \int\limits^a_b {f(x) \, dx

So, we have:

P(2 < x < 4) = \int\limits^4_2 {xe^{-x} \, dx

Using an integral calculator, we have:

P(2 < x < 4) =-(x + 1)e^{-x} |\limits^4_2

Expand the expression

P(2 < x < 4) =-(4 + 1)e^{-4} +(2 + 1)e^{-2}

Evaluate the expressions

P(2 < x < 4) =-0.092 +0.406

Evaluate the sum

P(2 < x < 4) = 0.314

Hence, the probability that X is between 2 and 4 is 0.314

<h3>Find the probability that the value of X exceeds 3</h3>

This is represented as:

P(x > 3) = \int\limits^{\infty}_3 {xe^{-x} \, dx

Using an integral calculator, we have:

P(x > 3) =-(x + 1)e^{-x} |\limits^{\infty}_3

Expand the expression

P(x > 3) =-(\infty + 1)e^{-\infty}+(3+ 1)e^{-3}

Evaluate the expressions

P(x > 3) =0 + 0.199

Evaluate the sum

P(x > 3) = 0.199

Hence, the probability that X exceeds 3 is 0.199

<h3>Find the expected value of X</h3>

This is calculated as:

E(x) = \int\limits^a_b {x * f(x) \, dx

So, we have:

E(x) = \int\limits^{\infty}_0 {x * xe^{-x} \, dx

This gives

E(x) = \int\limits^{\infty}_0 {x^2e^{-x} \, dx

Using an integral calculator, we have:

E(x) = -(x^2+2x+2)e^{-x}|\limits^{\infty}_0

Expand the expression

E(x) = -(\infty^2+2(\infty)+2)e^{-\infty} +(0^2+2(0)+2)e^{0}

Evaluate the expressions

E(x) = 0 + 2

Evaluate

E(x) = 2

Hence, the expected value of X is 2

<h3>Find the Variance of X</h3>

This is calculated as:

V(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2

Where:

E(x^2) = \int\limits^{\infty}_0 {x^2 * xe^{-x} \, dx

This gives

E(x^2) = \int\limits^{\infty}_0 {x^3e^{-x} \, dx

Using an integral calculator, we have:

E(x^2) = -(x^3+3x^2 +6x+6)e^{-x}|\limits^{\infty}_0

Expand the expression

E(x^2) = -((\infty)^3+3(\infty)^2 +6(\infty)+6)e^{-\infty} +((0)^3+3(0)^2 +6(0)+6)e^{0}

Evaluate the expressions

E(x^2) = -0 + 6

This gives

E(x^2) = 6

Recall that:

V(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2

So, we have:

V(x) = 6 - 2^2

Evaluate

V(x) = 2

Hence, the variance of X is 2

The price of a candy bar is $1.53. If this is three cents more than triple the price ten years ago, how much did the candy bar c
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

$0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Using what we know, the price of the candy bar at the moment is $1.53, triple the price from 10 years ago. So, triple cents would technically be $0.03. We divide $1.53 and $0.03 and get 51! But, it would not make sense for the price ten years ago to be 51 then go to 1.53, so we make 51 a decimal, 0.51. We can check to see if this correct, by doing 0.51 times 3, because the price is tripling, and we get $1.53! Have an awesome day! :)

Which graph shows the solution set of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bx-1%7D%7Bx-3%7D%20%5C%20%20%5Ctextless%20%5C%2
forsale [732]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x - 1)/(x - 3) < 0

The critical points are x = 1 and x = 3

When x < 1, f(x) > 0

When 1 < x < 3,  f(x) < 0  

When x > 3,   f(x) > 0

Note  when x = 3 f(x) has no value and when x = 1 f(x) = 0.

I can't see all the graphs very well  but there should be a red line between 1 and 3 with a clear circle on x = 1 and x = 3.

Looks like its the last choice.
