According to international standards, a tennis ball should have an internal pressure of 14 psi. Wilson claims that the pressure

in tennis balls they make follow a normal distribution with a population mean of 14 and a population standard deviation of 2. A quality control expert has taken a sample of 9 balls to test the variability in the pressure. Let X1, X2, . . . , X9 be the balls and let S² be the same variance.
(a) What is the distribution of 8S²/4? Give the name as well as the parameters of the distribution.
(b) Find P(S² > 0.8232).

Major league baseball salaries averaged $1.5 million with a standard deviation of $0.8 million in 1994. suppose a sample of 100

seropon [69]

Answer: The probability that the avg. salary of the 100 players exceeded $1 million is approximately 1.

Explanation:

Step 1: Estimate the standard error. Standard error can be calcualted by dividing the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size:

$SE=\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{100}}=\frac{0.8}{10} = 0.08$

So, Standard Error is 0.08 million or $80,000.

Step 2: Next, estimate the mean is how many standard errors below the population mean $1 million.

$\frac{1 - 1.5}{0.08}$

$=-6.250$

-6.250 means that $1 million is siz standard errors away from the mean. Since, the value is too far from the bell-shaped normal distribution curve that nearly 100% of the values are greater than it.

Therefore, we can say that because 100% values are greater than it, probability that the avg. salary of the 100 players exceeded $1 million is approximately 1.

Dalia saved $3000 last year. She said $600 in the month of January. What percent of the total amount of money she saved last yea

Anni [7]

1. We assume, that the number 3000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 100% equals 3000, so we can write it down as 100%=3000. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x% equals 600 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=600. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3000
2) x%=600
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=3000/600
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 600 is what percent of 3000

100%/x%=3000/600
<span>(100/x)*x=(3000/600)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>100=5*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (5) to get x
<span>100/5=x </span>
<span>20=x </span>
<span>x=20
So 600 is 20% of 3000</span>

Answers fast please. 1.) y=x−63x+2y=8 Use the substitution method. A.) (4, −2) B.) (14, 8) C.) (0, −6) D.) (3, −3) 2.) What is t

GrogVix [38]

<u>QUESTION 1</u>

The given system of equation is

$y=x-6...eqn1$

and

$3x+2y=8...eqn2$

Let us substitute equation (1) into equation (2) to get,

$3x+2(x-6)=8$

We expand the bracket to get,

$3x+2x-12=8$

We simplify to get.

$5x-12=8$

We group like terms to get

$5x=8+12$

$\Rightarrow 5x=20$

$\Rightarrow x=4$

We now substitute $x=4$ in to equation (1) to obtain,

$y=4-6=-2$

The correct answer is option A.

<u>QUESTION 2</u>

The given system of equations is

$y-x=9...eqn1$

and

$10+2x=-2y...eqn2$

We make y the subject in equation (2) to get,

$y=-x-5..eqn3$

We put equation (3) into equation (1) to obtain,

$-x-5-x=9$

We group like terms to get,

$-x-x=9+5$

This implies that,

$-2x=14$

We divide through by $-2$ to get,

$x=-7$

Hence the x-coordinate is $-7$

<u>QUESTION 3</u>

The given system is

$y=3x-1..eqn1$

and

$x-y=-9...eqn2$

We make $x$ the subject in equation (2) to get,

$x=y-9...eqn3$

We put equation (3) into equation (1) to obtain,

$y=3(y-9)-1$

We expand the bracket to get,

$y=3y-27-1$

Group like terms to get,

$y-3y=-27-1$

We simplify to get;

$-2y=-28$

This implies that,

$y=14$

Therefore the y-coordinate is 14.
