Let X be the temperature in at which a certain chemical reaction takes place, and let Y be the temperature in (so Y = 1.8X + 32)

. a. If the median of the X distribution is , show that 1.8 + 32 is the median of the Y distribution. b. How is the 90th percentile of the Y distribution related to the 90th percentile of the X distribution? Verify your conjecture. c. More generally, if Y = aX + b when a is non-zero, how is any particular percentile of the Y distribution related to the corresponding percentile of the X distribution? Distinguish the two cases when a is positive and when a is negative.

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

The random variable, Y be the temperature of chemical reaction in degree fahrenheit be a linear expression of a random variable X : The  temperature in at which a certain chemical reaction takes place.

                             Y = 1.8*X + 32

- The median of the random variate "X" is given to be equal to "η". We can mathematically express it as:

                             P ( X ≤ η ) = 0.5

- Then the median of "Y" distribution can be expressed with the help of the relation given:

                             P ( Y ≤ 1.8*η + 32 )

- The left hand side of the inequality can be replaced by the linear relation:

                             P ( 1.8*X + 32 ≤ 1.8*η + 32 )

                             P ( 1.8*X ≤ 1.8*η )   ..... Cancel "1.8" on both sides.

                            P ( X ≤ η ) = 0.5 ...... Proven

Hence,

- Through conjecture we proved that: (1.8*η + 32) has to be the median of distribution "Y".

b)

- Recall that the definition of proportion (p) of distribution that lie within the 90th percentile. It can be mathematically expressed as the probability of random variate "X" at 90th percentile :

                             P ( X ≤ p_.9 ) = 0.9 ..... 90th percentile

- Now use the conjecture given as a linear expression random variate "Y",

          P ( Y ≤ 1.8*p_0.9 + 32 ) = P ( 1.8*X + 32 ≤ 1.8*p_0.9 + 32 )

                                                 = P ( 1.8*X ≤ 1.8*p_0.9 )

                                                 = P ( X  ≤ p_0.9 )

                                                 = 0.9

- So from conjecture we saw that the 90th percentile of "X" distribution is also the 90th percentile of "Y" distribution.

c)

- The more general relation between two random variate "Y" and "X" is given:

                            Y = aX + b

Where, a : is either a positive or negative constant.

- Denote, (np) as the 100th percentile of the X distribution, so the corresponding 100th percentile of the Y distribution would be : (a*np + b).

- When a is positive,

                   P ( Y ≤ a*p_% + b ) = P ( a*X + b ≤ a*p_% + b )

                                                 = P ( a*X ≤ a*p_% )

                                                 = P ( X  ≤ p_% )

                                                 = np_%        

- When a is negative,

                   P ( Y ≤ a*p_% + b ) = P ( a*X + b ≤ a*p_% + b )

                                                 = P ( a*X ≤ a*p_% )

                                                 = P ( X  ≥ p_% )

                                                 = 1 - np_%

F(x) = 2x and g(x) = x + 1, find f(3) and find gf(3)
lord [1]

Answer:

6 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(3), substitute x = 3 into f(x) , that is

f(3) = 2(3) = 6

To evaluate g(f(3)), substitute f(3) = 6 into g(x)

g(6) = 6 + 1 = 7

What are the coordinates of point F? On a coordinate plane, point F is 4 units to the right and 2.5 units down.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

(4,-2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

because you move to the right it is a positive x-axis point and since you are moving down it is a negative y- axis point

It's hard to read your picture

But if your equation is
(-3)^2 + (-2)^3

then its:
