Answer:

a) The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 4.75%.

b) The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is 95.25%.

c) The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is 4.52%.

d) 0% probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish

e) To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most 42.32 hours.

f) The most typical 80% of snails take between 42.32 and 57.68 hours to finish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 50, \sigma = 6

a. The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a pvalue 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 4.75%.

b. The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a pvalue 0.9525

The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is 95.25%.

c. The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 67 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

X = 67

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{67 - 50}{6}

Z = 2.83

Z = 2.83 has a pvalue 0.9977

X = 60

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a pvalue 0.9525

0.9977 - 0.9525 = 0.0452

The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is 4.52%.

d. The probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish (to four decimal places)

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 76.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{76 - 50}{6}

Z = 4.33

Z = 4.33 has a pvalue of 1

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish

e. To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most hours.

At most the 10th percentile, which is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So it is X when Z = -1.28.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}

X - 50 = -1.28*6

X = 42.32

To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most 42.32 hours.

f. The most typical 80% of snails take between and hours to finish.

From the 50 - 80/2 = 10th percentile to the 50 + 80/2 = 90th percentile.

10th percentile

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So X when Z = -1.28.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}

X - 50 = -1.28*6

X = 42.32

90th percentile.

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So X when Z = 1.28

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}

X - 50 = 1.28*6

X = 57.68

The most typical 80% of snails take between 42.32 and 57.68 hours to finish.

Which statements are true regarding the relationships between central, inscribed, and circumscribed angles of a circle? Check al
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

# A circumscribed angle is created by two intersecting tangent segments ⇒ true (1st answer)

# The measure of a central angle will be twice the measure of an inscribed angle that intercepts the same arc ⇒ true (3rd answer)

# The measure of a central angle will be equal to the measure of an inscribed angle when the arc intercepted by the inscribed angle is twice as large as the arc intercepted by the central angle ⇒ true (6th answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the types of angles in a circle

- A circumscribed angle is the angle made by two intersecting

 tangent lines to a circle (it's out side the circle)

- Its measure is half the difference of the measures of the two

 intercepted arcs

- Ex:

∵ AB and AC are tangent to circle M at B and C

∴ ∠A is a circumscribed angle

∴ m∠A = 1/2(m major arc BC - m minor arc BC)

- An inscribed angle is an angle formed by two chords in a circle

  which have a common endpoint, this common endpoint is the

  vertex of it

- Its measure is half the measure of the intercepted arc

Ex:

∵ XY and XZ are two chords in circle M

∴ ∠YXZ is an inscribed angle subtended by arc YZ

∴ m∠YXZ = 1/2 (m arc YZ)

- A central angle is an angle with endpoints located on the

 circumference of the circle and its vertex is the center of the circle

- Its measure is the measure of the intercepted arc

- Ex:

∵ MA and MB are two radii of circle M

∴ ∠AMB is a central angle subtended by the opposite arc AB

∴ m∠AMB = m of arc AB

- The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the

  central angle which subtended by the same arc

- Ex:

∵ ∠ABC is an inscribed angle in circle M subtended by arc AC

∵ ∠AMC is a central angle subtended by arc AC

∴ m∠ABC = 1/2 m∠AMC

∴ m∠AMC = 2 m∠ABC

* Lets solve the problem

- From the facts above:

# A circumscribed angle is created by two intersecting tangent

  segments ⇒ true

# The measure of a central angle will be twice the measure of an

   inscribed angle that intercepts the same arc ⇒ true

- Lets prove the last statement

∵ AMC is a central angle of circle M subtended by arc AC

∴ m∠AMC = m of arc AC ⇒ (1)

∵ XYZ is an inscribed angle of circle M subtended by arc XZ

∴ m∠XYZ = 1/2 m of arc XZ

∵ m of arc XZ is twice m of arc AC

∴ m∠XYZ = m of arc AC ⇒ (2)

- From (1) and (2)

∴ m∠AMC = m∠XYZ

∴ The statement down is true

# The measure of a central angle will be equal to the measure of

   an inscribed angle when the arc intercepted by the inscribed

   angle is twice as large as the arc intercepted by the central

   angle ⇒ true
