Answer:

$\frac{7}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

0.77......

We require 2 equations with the repeating part after the decimal point.

let x = 0.77.... (1) ← multiply both sides by 10

10x = 7.77.... (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating decimal

9x = 7 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = $\frac{7}{9}$

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

because .7*10 = 70 and it would be 70/100 so you simplify it to 7/10

Let f(x) be a func. satisfying f(-x)=f(x) for all real x.if f"(x) exist, find its value.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

$f''(x)=f''(-x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

A function satisfying the equation $f(x)=f(-x)$ is said to be an even function. This denomination comes from the fact that the same relation is satisfied for functions of the form $x^{n}$ with $n$ even. Observe that if $f$ is twice differentiable we can derivate using the chaing rule as follows:

$f(x)=f(-x)$ implies $f'(x)=f'(-x)\cdot (-1)=-f'(-x)$

Applying the chain rule again we have:

$f'(x)=-f'(-x)$ implies $f''(x)=-f''(-x)\cdot (-1)=f''(-x)$

So we have that function $f''(x)$ is also an even function.

It is known that the life of a particular auto transmission follows a normal distribution with mean 72,000 miles and standard de

scoray [572]

Answer:

a) $P(X$

$P(z$

b) $P(X>65000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{65000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{65000-72000}{12000})=P(z>-0.583)$

$P(z>-0.583)=1-P(Z$

c) $P(X>100000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{100000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{100000-72000}{12000})=P(z>2.33)$

$P(z>2.33)=1-P(Z$

Sicne this probability just represent 1% of the data we can consider this value as unusual.

d) $z=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=72000 +1.28*12000=87360$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 87360.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the life of a particular auto transmission of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(72000,12000)$

Where $\mu=72000$ and $\sigma=12000$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X$

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard table and we got:

$P(z$

Part b

$P(X>65000)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X>65000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{65000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{65000-72000}{12000})=P(z>-0.583)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and excel or the normal standard table and we got:

$P(z>-0.583)=1-P(Z$

Part c

$P(X>100000)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X>100000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{100000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{100000-72000}{12000})=P(z>2.33)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and excel or the normal standard table and we got:

$P(z>2.33)=1-P(Z$

Sicne this probability just represent 1% of the data we can consider this value as unusual.

Part d

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.1$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.9 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$

$P(z$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=72000 +1.28*12000=87360$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 87360.
