Answer:

Irrational numbers can look like fractions:  \frac{1}{3}

\frac{1}{3} = 0.33333...

Irrational numbers have never ending decimals.  Pi and e are also irrational numbers.

The distribution of a sample of the outside diameters of PVC pipes approximates a normal distribution. The mean is 14.0 inches,
lakkis [162]

Answer:

A. 13.9 and 14.1 inches

See explanation below.

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".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the outside diameters of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(14,0.1)  

Where \mu=14 and \sigma=0.1

If we want the middle 68% of the data we need to have on the tails 16% on each one

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

P(X>a)=0.84   (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 0.16 of the area on the left and 0.84 of the area on the right it's z=-0.994. On this case P(Z<-0.994)=0.16 and P(z>-0.994)=0.84

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=-0.994

And if we solve for a we got

a=14 -0.994*0.1=13.9

And since the distribution is symmetrical for the upper limit we can use z = 0.994 and we have:

z=0.994

And if we solve for a we got

a=14 +0.994*0.1=14.1

So the correct answer for this case would be:

A. 13.9 and 14.1 inches

Use the definition of a Taylor series to find the first three non zero terms of the Taylor series for the given function centere
Ket [755]

Answer:

e^{4x}=e^4+4e^4(x-1)+8e^4(x-1)^2+...

\displaystyle e^{4x}=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0} \dfrac{4^ne^4}{n!}(x-1)^n

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Taylor series</u> expansions of f(x) at the point x = a

\text{f}(x)=\text{f}(a)+\text{f}\:'(a)(x-a)+\dfrac{\text{f}\:''(a)}{2!}(x-a)^2+\dfrac{\text{f}\:'''(a)}{3!}(x-a)^3+...+\dfrac{\text{f}\:^{(r)}(a)}{r!}(x-a)^r+...

This expansion is valid only if \text{f}\:^{(n)}(a) exists and is finite for all n \in \mathbb{N}, and for values of x for which the infinite series converges.

\textsf{Let }\text{f}(x)=e^{4x} \textsf{ and }a=1

\text{f}(x)=\text{f}(1)+\text{f}\:'(1)(x-1)+\dfrac{\text{f}\:''(1)}{2!}(x-1)^2+...

\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.5 cm}\underline{Differentiating $e^{f(x)}$}\\\\If  $y=e^{f(x)}$, then $\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=f\:'(x)e^{f(x)}$\\\end{minipage}}

\text{f}(x)=e^{4x} \implies \text{f}(1)=e^4

\text{f}\:'(x)=4e^{4x} \implies \text{f}\:'(1)=4e^4

\text{f}\:''(x)=16e^{4x} \implies \text{f}\:''(1)=16e^4

Substituting the values in the series expansion gives:

e^{4x}=e^4+4e^4(x-1)+\dfrac{16e^4}{2}(x-1)^2+...

Factoring out e⁴:

e^{4x}=e^4\left[1+4(x-1)+8}(x-1)^2+...\right]

<u>Taylor Series summation notation</u>:

\displaystyle \text{f}(x)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0} \dfrac{\text{f}\:^{(n)}(a)}{n!}(x-a)^n

Therefore:

\displaystyle e^{4x}=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0} \dfrac{4^ne^4}{n!}(x-1)^n

If you have a spinner with 5 slots, what is the compound probability of spinning an even number, then an odd number? Expressed a
Minchanka [31]

Since the spinner has 5 slots it contains 3 odd and 2 evens,

  • Odds ⇒ 1, 3, 5
  • Evens⇒ 2,4

this can be expressed as

\frac{2}{5} =\frac{x}{100}, cross multiply and we get

5x=200

x=40%

Find the probability of rolling a twelve first and then a three when a pair of dice is rolled twice?
yawa3891 [41]
Total number of possible outcomes = 36

Total number of outcomes with a sum of 12 = 1
{6,6)

Total number of outcomes with a sum of 3 = 2
{1,2}{2,1}

P(12 first, then 3) = (1/36)(2/36) = 1/648

Answer: The probability is 1/648
