If the temperature is dropping at a rate of 2° per hour how many hours will it take to drop 15°

Suppose you take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and your score is the 32nd percentile. How do you interpret this resu

ExtremeBDS [4]

In Statistics, percentiles are a representation of the relative position of a particular value within a data set. For example, if your exam score is better than k% of the rest of the class. That means your exam score is at the kth percentile.

If your test score is at the 32nd percentile it can be interpreted as follows:

-Your test score is better than only 32 percent of the other scores recorded for the test.

-32 percent of the people who took the admission test have scores which are lower than yours.

You always need some time to get up after the alarm has rung. You get up from 10 to 20 minutes later, with any time in that inte

Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) P(x<5)=0.

b) E(X)=15.

c) P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) P=0.216.

e) P=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

$f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{10},\, \, \, 10\leq x\leq 20 } \atop {0, \, \, \, \, \, \, otherwise }} \right.$

a) We calculate the probability that you need less than 5 minutes to get up:

$P(x$

Therefore, the probability is P(x<5)=0.

b) It takes us between 10 and 20 minutes to get up. The expected value is to get up in 15 minutes.

E(X)=15.

c) We calculate the probability that you will need between 8 and 13 minutes:

$P(8\leq x\leq 13)=P(10\leqx\leq 13)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot [x]_{10}^{13}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot (13-10)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{3}{10}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=0.3$

Therefore, the probability is P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) We calculate the probability that you will be late to each of the 9:30am classes next week:

$P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{14}^{20}\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{6}{10}\\\\P(x>14)=0.6$

You have 9:30am classes three times a week. So, we get:

$P=0.6^3=0.216$

Therefore, the probability is P=0.216.

e) We calculate the probability that you are late to at least one 9am class next week:

$P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{10}^{20}\\\\P(x>9.5)=1$

Therefore, the probability is P=1.

\A and \B are supplementary angles. If m\A= (3x – 23) and m

mrs_skeptik [129]

2 supplementary angles when added together need to equal 180 degrees.

Add:

3x-23 + 2x-12 = 180

Simplify:

5x -35 = 180

Add 35 to both sides:

5x = 215

Divide both sides by 5:

X = 43

Now replace x with 43 in the equation for angle b:

2(43) -12 = 86-12 = 74 degrees

Angle B = 74 degrees

The weights of soy patties sold by Veggie Burgers Delight are normally distributed. A random sample of 15 patties yields a mean

Elden [556K]

Answer:

$t=\frac{3.8-4}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{15}}}=-1.549$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=3.8$ represent the sample mean

$s=0.5$ represent the sample standard deviation for the sample

$n=15$ sample size

$\mu_o =4$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean weight is less than 4 ounces, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 68$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 4$

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{3.8-4}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{15}}}=-1.549$

16/8 would be classified as a/an?<br> A:whole number <br> B:integer <br> C:Rational Number

gregori [183]

Answer:

Whole Number

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerator. This is the number above the fraction line. For 16/8, the numerator is 16.

Denominator. This is the number below the fraction line. For 16/8, the denominator is 8.

Improper fraction. This is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Mixed number. This is a way of expressing an improper fraction by simplifying it to whole units and a smaller overall fraction. It's an integer (whole number) and a proper fraction.

Now let's go through the steps needed to convert 16/8 to a mixed number.

Step 1: Find the whole number

We first want to find the whole number, and to do this we divide the numerator by the denominator. Since we are only interested in whole numbers, we ignore any numbers to the right of the decimal point.

16/8 = 2

Now that we have our whole number for the mixed fraction, we need to find our new numerator for the fraction part of the mixed number.

Step 2: Get the new numerator

To work this out we'll use the whole number we calculated in step one (2) and multiply it by the original denominator (8). The result of that multiplication is then subtracted from the original numerator:

16 - (8 x 2) = 0

Step 3: Our mixed fraction

We've now simplified 16/8 to a mixed number. To see it, we just need to put the whole number together with our new numerator and original denominator:

2 (0/8)

You maybe have noticed here that our new numerator is actually 0. Since there is no remainder, we can remove the entire fraction part of this mixed number, leaving us with a final answer.
