Answer: Variables
F and C are placeholders for numbers. They are called variables because they are allowed to vary, or change. If you change C then it affects F, and vice versa. If the values for the placeholders is not allowed to change, yet it holds a number, then it is considered a constant. In this case, we don't have constants or else the formula isn't too useful.
Graphs of y = x+- 1 and of y = x - 1 are shown in the figure below.
The intersection of the two graphs is the solution for the two equations.
Answer:
There is no solution.
Explanation:
It is clear that the two lines are parallel and will never intersect.
Note that the equation for a straight line is of the form
y = mx + b
where
m = slope,
b = y-intercept.
y = x + 1 has slope of m=1.
y = x - 1 has slope of m=1.
The two slopes are equal.
Because parallel lines do not intercept, there is no solution.
Answer:
(a) 0.5899
(b) 0.9166
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the random variable that represents the height of a woman. Then, X is normally distributed with
= 62.5 in
= 2.2 in
the normal probability density function is given by
, then
(a)
= 0.5899
(in the R statistical programming language) pnorm(63, mean = 62.5, sd = 2.2)
(b) We are seeking
where n = 37.
is normally distributed with mean 62.5 in and standard deviation
. So, the probability density function is given by
, and
= 0.9166
(in the R statistical programming language) pnorm(63, mean = 62.5, sd = 2.2/sqrt(37))
You can use a table from a book to find the probabilities or a programming language like the R statistical programming language.
