Answer:

0.8278 = 82.78% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.7 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance) \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}};

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 183, \sigma = \sqrt{121} = 11, n = 78, s = \frac{11}{\sqrt{78}} = 1.2455

Probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.7 watts?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 183+1.7 =184.7 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 183 - 1.7 = 181.3.

X = 184.7

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{184.7 - 183}{1.2455}

Z = 1.365

Z = 1.365 has a pvalue of 0.9139

X = 181.3

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{181.3 - 183}{1.2455}

Z = -1.365

Z = -1.365 has a pvalue of 0.0861

0.9139 - 0.0861 = 0.8278

0.8278 = 82.78% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1.7 watts

Graph the function f(x) = - squared x + 2
MariettaO [177]

One of the ways to graph this is to use plug in a few x-values and get an idea of the shape. Since the x values keep getting squared, there is an exponential increase on either side of the y-axis. You can see this by plugging in a few values:

When

x=0,f(x)=0

x=1,f(x)=1^2=1

x=2,f(x)=2^2=4

x=3,f(x)=3^2=9

x=4,f(x)=4^2=16

The same holds true for negative x-values to the left of the y-axis since a negative value squared is positive. For example,

x=−1,f(x)=(−1)2=1*−1=1

x=2,f(x)=(−2)2=−2*−2=4

The graph of f(x)=x^2 is called a "Parabola." It looks like this:

Anyone, I need help... Just answer the 6 (c)....and also proper working.☺️
Ainat [17]

Answer:

(i) The area of the rabbit cage when the width is 5.2 m is 81.5 m²

(ii) The area of the rabbit cage if Wilson has 40 meters of wire mesh is 75 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) The given relation of the area, A to the width P of the rabbit cage is A = 3·p²

The graph of the function between the values of 0 and 6 inclusive is found as follows;

A,              3·p²

0,               0

1,                1

2,               12

3,               27

4,               48

5,               75

6,               108

Please find attached the graph of A to 3·p²

From the graph, we have when the the width, p, of the rabbit cage = 5.2, the area, A ≈ 81.5 m²

The area of the rabbit cage when the width is 5.2 m = 81.5 m²

(ii) Also from the graph given that the total wire mess with Wilson = 40 meters, we have;

The formula for the perimeter of the cage = The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle = 2×length + 2×width

The formula for the perimeter of the cage = 2×3×p + 2× p = 8·p

Where the total length of the wire mesh available = 40 meters for the cage

The 40 meters of wire mesh will be used round the perimeter of the cage

∴ 40 m. = 8·p

p = 40/8 = 5 m.

At p = 5 m. the area is given as A = 75 m².

Therefore, the area of the rabbit cage if Wilson has 40 meters of wire mesh = 75 m².
