Suppose the heights of 18-year-old men are approximately normally distributed, with mean 65 inches and standard deviation 4 inch

es. (a) What is the probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is between 64 and 66 inches tall? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) If a random sample of seven 18-year-old men is selected, what is the probability that the mean height x is between 64 and 66 inches? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) Compare your answers to parts (a) and (b). Is the probability in part (b) much higher? Why would you expect this? The probability in part (b) is much higher because the mean is larger for the x distribution. The probability in part (b) is much higher because the standard deviation is larger for the x distribution. The probability in part (b) is much higher because the mean is smaller for the x distribution. The probability in part (b) is much lower because the standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution. The probability in part (b) is much higher because the standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>a)</u>

  • Given that ; X ~ N ( µ = 65 , σ = 4 )
  • P ( 64 < X < 66 )

From application of normal distribution ;

  • Z = ( X - µ ) / σ, Z = ( 64 - 65 ) / 4,  Z = -0.25
  • Z = ( 66 - 65 ) / 4,  Z = 0.25

Hence, P ( -0.25 < Z < 0.25 ) = P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = P ( Z < 0.25 ) - P ( Z < -0.25 ) P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = 0.5987 - 0.4013

  • P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = 0.1974

b) X ~ N ( µ = 65 , σ = 4 )

  • P ( 64 < X < 66 )

From normal distribution application ;

  • Z = ( X - µ ) / ( σ / √(n)), plugging in the values,
  • Z = ( 64 - 65 ) / ( 4 / √(12)) = Z = -0.866
  • Z = ( 66 - 65 ) / ( 4 / √(12)) = Z = 0.866

P ( -0.87 < Z < 0.87 )

  • P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = P ( Z < 0.87 ) - P ( Z < -0.87 )
  • P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = 0.8068 - 0.1932
  • P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = 0.6135

c) From the values gotten for (a) and (b), it is indicative that the probability in part (b) is much higher because the standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution.

Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): <br> 5x^2 + 11x - 12 = -10
AVprozaik [17]
Add 10 to both sides so that the equation becomes 5x^2 + 11x - 2 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                     x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                     x = [ -11 ± √(11^2 - 4(5)(-2)) ] / ( 2(5) )
                     x = [ -11 ± √(121 - (-40) ) ] / ( 10 )
                     x = [ -11 ± √(161) ] / ( 10)
                     x = [ -11 ± sqrt(161) ] / ( 10 )
                     x = -11/10 ± sqrt(161)/10
The answers are -11/10 + sqrt(161)/10 and -11/10 - sqrt(161)/10.

Answer:

1 and 4 are correct. 2 and 3 are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

When x = 0 where does the horse start?

y = 1.5*sin(0 + 0.5)*2*pi + 1.5

y = 1.5*sin(0.5*2pi) + 1.5

y = 1.5*sin(pi) + 1.5 But sin pi = 0

y = 0 + 1.5 So the horse is starting at the midpoint of it's travel.

2.

This one is a trick question. You can reason it without exact answers. At some point the sin(x + 0.5)*2pi will equal 1. When it does 1.5 * 1 + 1.5 = 3.0 At some other point sin(x + 0.5)*2pi = -1. When that happens the whole thing goes to 0. So the total of the distance traveled is 6 not three.

3.

You can figure this one out by letting x = 0.01 When it does then the value of the function is

y = 1.5*sin [(0.01 + 0.5)*2pi] + 1.5

y = 1.5*sin(0.51*2*pi) + 1.5

y = 1.5*sin(3.204424) + 1.5

y = 1.5*(- .0623) + 1.5

y = -0.9418 + 1.5

y = 1.4058 so it is going downward The value is getting smaller.

4.

The horse starts out in the middle of the pole. What  does x need to equal so that x + 0.5 = 1 ? And why 1. The answer to why 1 is that then the sine function will equal sin(2*pi)

That happens when x = 0.5 which is 1/2 a minute. If it takes 1/2 a minute to execute 1 complete cycle, then in 5 minutes the cycle will be executed 10 times. This one is correct.
