At the U.S open tennis championship a statistician keeps track of every serve that a player hits during the tournament. The mean

serve speed was 100 miles per hour and the standard deviation of the serve speeds was 15 mph. Assume the distribution of serve speeds was mound shaped and symmetric. What percentage of the playes serves were between 115 a nd 145 mph?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both 115 and 145 mph are above the mean.  Draw a normal curve and mark these speeds.  115 mph is 1 standard deviation above the mean; 130 would be 2 standard deviations above the mean; and 145 would be 3 s. d. above it.

We need to find the area under the standard normal curve between 115 and 145.  This is equivalent to the area under the standard normal curve between z = 1 and z = 3.

I used my TI-83 Plus calculator's DISTR function "normalcdf(" to calculate this area:  normalcdf(1, 3) = 0.1573.

The area between z = 1 and z = 3 is 0.1573.  In other words, the percentage of serves that were between 115 and 145 mph was 15.73%.

<h3>Answer: 31</h3>

=======================================

Work Shown:

Use the value of a0 to find the value of a1. The idea is you double the previous value, and then add 1.

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{0+1} = 2*(a_0) + 1\\\\a_{1} = 2*(1) + 1\\\\a_{1} = 3\\\\

Which is then used to find the value of a2. Follow the same process as before (double the previous value and then add 1).

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{1+1} = 2*(a_1) + 1\\\\a_{2} = 2*(3) + 1\\\\a_{2} = 7\\\\

This is used to find a3

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{2+1} = 2*(a_2) + 1\\\\a_{3} = 2*(7) + 1\\\\a_{3} = 15\\\\

Finally we can now find a4

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{3+1} = 2*(a_3) + 1\\\\a_{4} = 2*(15) + 1\\\\a_{4} = 31\\\\

Recursive sequences like this aren't too bad if n is small, but as n gets larger, things become more tedious. For those cases, its best to try to find a closed form equation. If not, then the next best thing is using a spreadsheet to automate the process.

amm1812

Answer: a. variation in the variable, HOURS SPENT STUDYING explains 43% of the variation in the variable. TEST SCORE

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of determination is denoted by R square is the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable.

Given:  dependent variable = TEST SCORE

independent variable = HOURS SPENT STUDYING

coefficient of determination = 0.43

That means variation in the variable, HOURS SPENT STUDYING explains 43% of the variation in the variable. TEST SCORE.

Hence, the correct option is a.
