Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are Normally distributed with mean 0°C and standard deviation 1.

00°C. Find $P_{60}$ , the 60-percentile of the distribution of temperature readings. This is the temperature reading separating the bottom 60% from the top 40%.

Answer:

$P_{60} = 0.254$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 0

Standard Deviation, σ = 1.00

We are given that the distribution of readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

We have to find $P_{60}$

P(X<x) = 0.0600

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.600

P(X < x)

$P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 0}{1})=0.600$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 0}{1} = 0.254\\x = 0.254$

$\bold{P_{60} = 0.254}$

How to find the general solution to y"'+2y"-4y'-8y=0?

S_A_V [24]

$y'''+2y''-4y'-8y=0$

has characteristic equation

$r^3+2r^2-4r-8=r^2(r+2)-4(r+2)=(r^2-4)(r+2)=(r-2)(r+2)^2=0$

which has roots at $r=\pm2$ . The negative root has multiplicity 2. So the general solution is

$y=C_1e^{2x}+C_2e^{-2x}+C_3xe^{-2x}$

Please help I will give brainliest to whoever answers this question

pantera1 [17]

Hi!

To solve this, we must make an equation in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since we are looking at a graph with points, it saves us a TON of work, and all we have to do is simply look at the graph. We only need to find m and b, that's it!

M is the slope, and the slope can be represented by the change between points on a line, also known as <em>rise/run. </em>

If we start at point (-4, -1), and go to point (-2, 0), we can see that it goes up 1 and right 2, which would be represented as 1/2.

B is the y-intercept, and that is simply the point that is on the y-axis, which is the point (0, 1), so our number would be 1.

Therefore, plugging these numbers into the equation, our equation is y = <em>1/2</em>x + <em>1</em>

<em></em>

Hope this helps! :D

Use Euler's method with step size 0.2 to estimate y(1), where y(x) is the solution of the initial-value problem y' = x2y − 1 2 y

irina [24]

Answer:

Therefore the value of y(1)= 0.9152.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Euler's method

y(x+h)≈ y(x) + hy'(x) ....(1)

Given that y(0) =3 and step size (h) = 0.2.

$y'(x)= x^2y(x)-\frac12y^2(x)$

Putting the value of y'(x) in equation (1)

$y(x+h)\approx y(x) +h(x^2y(x)-\frac12y^2(x))$

Substituting x =0 and h= 0.2

$y(0+0.2)\approx y(0)+0.2[0\times y(0)-\frac12 (y(0))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.2)\approx 3+0.2[-\frac12 \times3]$ [∵ y(0) =3 ]

$\Rightarrow y(0.2)\approx 2.7$

Substituting x =0.2 and h= 0.2

$y(0.2+0.2)\approx y(0.2)+0.2[(0.2)^2\times y(0.2)-\frac12 (y(0.2))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.4)\approx 2.7+0.2[(0.2)^2\times 2.7- \frac12(2.7)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.4)\approx 1.9926$

Substituting x =0.4 and h= 0.2

$y(0.4+0.2)\approx y(0.4)+0.2[(0.4)^2\times y(0.4)-\frac12 (y(0.4))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.6)\approx 1.9926+0.2[(0.4)^2\times 1.9926- \frac12(1.9926)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.6)\approx 1.6593$

Substituting x =0.6 and h= 0.2

$y(0.6+0.2)\approx y(0.6)+0.2[(0.6)^2\times y(0.6)-\frac12 (y(0.6))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.8)\approx 1.6593+0.2[(0.6)^2\times 1.6593- \frac12(1.6593)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.6)\approx 0.8800$

Substituting x =0.8 and h= 0.2

$y(0.8+0.2)\approx y(0.8)+0.2[(0.8)^2\times y(0.8)-\frac12 (y(0.8))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(1.0)\approx 0.8800+0.2[(0.8)^2\times 0.8800- \frac12(0.8800)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(1.0)\approx 0.9152$

Therefore the value of y(1)= 0.9152.
