Entomologist heinz kaefer has a colony of bongo spiders in his lab. there are 1000 adult spiders in the colony, and their weight

s are normally distributed with mean 11 grams and standard deviation 2 grams. about how many spiders are there in the colony which weigh more than 12 grams?

The probability that a spider selected at a random from the colony weighs more than 12 grams is given by:

P(x\ \textgreater \ 12)=1-P(x\ \textless \ 12) \\  \\ =1-P\left(z\ \textless \  \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \right)=1-P\left(z\ \textless \  \frac{12-11}{2} \right) \\  \\ =1-P(z\ \textless \ 0.5)=1-0.69146=0.30854

Thus, given that there are 1000 adult spiders in the colony, the number of spiders in the colony that weigh more than 12 grams is given by 0.30854 * 1000 ≈ 309

We have to find the probability N(11,2)>12, wherein N(11,2)
is the normal law with mean 11 and standard deviation 2. 
Using a scientific calculator we get the probability 0.3. 

Now multiply by the population which is 1000 like this:
0.3*1000=300.

There is 300 <span>spiders  in the colony which weigh more than 12 grams</span>

Form a sequence that has two arithmetic means between 13 and 88.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Correct choice is A

Step-by-step explanation:

For the numbers 13 and 88, find the difference 88-13:

since 88-13=75 and \dfrac{75}{3}=25 (two arithmetic means tells you there will be three intervals), two arithmetic means will be

  • 13+25=38;
  • 38+25=63.

The only correct sequence is 13, 38, 63, 88.

Prove that: (b²-c²/a)CosA+(c²-a²/b)CosB+(a²-b²/c)CosC = 0​
IRISSAK [1]

<u>Prove that:</u>

\:\:\sf\:\:\left(\dfrac{b^2-c^2}{a}\right)\cos A+\left(\dfrac{c^2-a^2}{b}\right)\cos B +\left(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c}\right)\cos C=0

<u>Proof: </u>

We know that, by Law of Cosines,

  • \sf \cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}
  • \sf \cos B=\dfrac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2ca}
  • \sf \cos C=\dfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}

<u>Taking</u><u> </u><u>LHS</u>

\left(\dfrac{b^2-c^2}{a}\right)\cos A+\left(\dfrac{c^2-a^2}{b}\right)\cos B +\left(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c}\right)\cos C

<em>Substituting</em> the value of <em>cos A, cos B and cos C,</em>

\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{b^2-c^2}{a}\right)\left(\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{c^2-a^2}{b}\right)\left(\dfrac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2ca}\right)+\left(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c}\right)\left(\dfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}\right)

\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{(b^2-c^2)(b^2+c^2-a^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(c^2-a^2)(c^2+a^2-b^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(a^2-b^2)(a^2+b^2-c^2)}{2abc}\right)

\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{(b^2-c^2)(b^2+c^2)-(b^2-c^2)(a^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(c^2-a^2)(c^2+a^2)-(c^2-a^2)(b^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(a^2-b^2)(a^2+b^2)-(a^2-b^2)(c^2)}{2abc}\right)

\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{(b^4-c^4)-(a^2b^2-a^2c^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(c^4-a^4)-(b^2c^2-a^2b^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(a^4-b^4)-(a^2c^2-b^2c^2)}{2abc}\right)

\longmapsto\dfrac{b^4-c^4-a^2b^2+a^2c^2}{2abc}+\dfrac{c^4-a^4-b^2c^2+a^2b^2}{2abc}+\dfrac{a^4-b^4-a^2c^2+b^2c^2}{2abc}

<em>On combining the fractions,</em>

\longmapsto\dfrac{(b^4-c^4-a^2b^2+a^2c^2)+(c^4-a^4-b^2c^2+a^2b^2)+(a^4-b^4-a^2c^2+b^2c^2)}{2abc}

\longmapsto\dfrac{b^4-c^4-a^2b^2+a^2c^2+c^4-a^4-b^2c^2+a^2b^2+a^4-b^4-a^2c^2+b^2c^2}{2abc}

<em>Regrouping the terms,</em>

\longmapsto\dfrac{(a^4-a^4)+(b^4-b^4)+(c^4-c^4)+(a^2b^2-a^2b^2)+(b^2c^2-b^2c^2)+(a^2c^2-a^2c^2)}{2abc}

\longmapsto\dfrac{(0)+(0)+(0)+(0)+(0)+(0)}{2abc}

\longmapsto\dfrac{0}{2abc}

\longmapsto\bf 0=RHS

LHS = RHS proved.
