The data on ages at which a sample of 35 fathers had their first child show a mean 25.43 and standard deviation 5.19. Define the

population parameter of interest in this context.
Mathematics
1 answer:
Valentin [98]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A population parameter describes an entire population; a particular characteristic of an entire population. A value that describes the entire population. In this context, the population parameter is looking into the average ages of fathers when they had their first child, but this value is not given. The mean given here is the sample statistic.

Since, the population studied here is a very large population (all fathers), you have a statistic. But sometimes, if the population is very small and groups are small enough to measure, you have a parameter.

X is a normally Distributed random variable with a standard deviation of 4.00. Find the mean of X when 64.8% of the area lies to
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

σ = 4 ; μ =?

8.52 to the left of X

.

P(X < 8.52) = 64.8%

P(X < 8.52) = 0.648

Using the Z relation :

(x - μ) / σ

P(Z < (8.52 - μ) / 4)) = 0.648

The Z value of 0.648 of the lower tail is equal to 0.38 (Z probability calculator)

Z = 8.52 - μ / 4

0.38 = 8.52 - μ / 4

0.38 * 4 = 8.52 - μ

1.52 = 8.52 - μ

μ = 8.52 - 1.52

μ = 7

Solve for x 7(3-x) = 8(4-2x)
Damm [24]

Answer:

  x = 11/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminate parentheses, add 16x, subtract 21.

  7(3 -x) = 8(4 -2x) . . . . given

  21 -7x = 32 -16x . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property

  9x +21 = 32 . . . . . . . . add 16x

  9x = 11 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 21

  x = 11/9 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x

Find the length of the tangent segment AB to the circles centered at O and O' whose radii are a and b respectively when the circ
bixtya [17]

Answer:

AB=2\sqrt{ab}

Step-by-step explanation:

From figure,

OA=a,  \quad \quad O'B=b\\\Rightarrow OO'= (a+b) \quad \quad \text{and}\quad OD=(a-b)

In triangle OO'D

  (OO')^2=(OD)^2+(O' D)^2

\Rightarrow (a+b)^2=(a-b)^2+(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow 4ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow O'D=2\sqrt{ab} \\\Rightarrow O' D=2\sqrt{ab}=AB \quad \quad [\because O' DAB\;\; \text{is a rectangle.}]

Hence, AB=2\sqrt{ab}
