Answer: 0.8137

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

\mu= 17.2\ ,\ \sigma=2.5

Sample size : n= 47

Let \overline{X} be the sample mean o.

Then, the probability that the mean of a sample of 47 families will be between 16.6 and 17.6 pounds will be :

P(16.6

=P(-1.645

[∵ z= \dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}]

=P(z

=0.8636793-(1- 0.9500151)  [By using p-value calculator]

=0.8636793-0.0499849=0.8136944\approx0.8137

Hence, the probability that the mean of a sample of 47 families will be between 16.6 and 17.6 pounds= 0.8137

Determine the value of c so that f(x) is continuous on the entire real line when
mixer [17]

Answer:

A. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = x + 3 for x ≤ -1 and 2x - c for x > -1, for the function to be continuous, the right hand limit of the function must be equal to its left hand limit.

For the left hand limit;

The function at the left hand occurs at x<-1

f-(x) = x+3

f-(-1) = -1+3

f-(-1) = 2

For the right hand limit, the function occurs at x>-1

f+(x) = 2x-c

f+(-1) = 2(-1)-c

f+(-1) = -2-c

For the function f(x) to be continuous on the entire real line at x = -1, then

f-(-1) = f+(-1)

On equating both sides:

2 = -2-c

Add 2 to both sides

2+2 = -2-c+2

4 =-c

Multiply both sides by minus.

-(-c) = -4

c = -4

Hence the value of c so that f(x) is continuous on the entire real line is -4

Use the fact that the mean of a geometric distribution is μ= 1 p and the variance is σ2= q p2. A daily number lottery chooses th
butalik [34]

Answer:

a). The mean = 1000

     The variance = 999,000

     The standard deviation = 999.4999

b). 1000 times , loss

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of geometric distribution is given as , $\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

And the variance is given by, $\sigma ^2=\frac{q}{p^2}$

Given : $p=\frac{1}{1000}$

             = 0.001

The formulae of mean and variance are :

$\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

$\sigma ^2=\frac{q}{p^2}$

$\sigma ^2=\frac{1-p}{p^2}$

a). Mean =   $\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

              = $\mu = \frac{1}{0.001}$

              = 1000

  Variance =   $\sigma ^2=\frac{1-p}{p^2}$

                  = $\sigma ^2=\frac{1-0.001}{0.001^2}$

                           = 999,000

   The standard deviation is determined by the root of the variance.

    $\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}$

        = $\sqrt{999,000}$ = 999.4999

b). We expect to have play lottery 1000  times to win, because the mean in part (a) is 1000.

When we win the profit is 500 - 1 = 499

When we lose, the profit is -1

Expected value of the mean μ is the summation of a product of each of the possibility x with the probability P(x).

$\mu=\Sigma\ x\ P(x)= 499 \times 0.001+(-1) \times (1-0.001)$

  = $ 0.50

Since the answer is negative, we are expected to make a loss.

Square root of 22801 by long division method
mezya [45]
First step: partition the number you want to square root into a block of 2 digits, starting from the last digit (first diagram)

Second step: As our number is a five-digits, we ends up with 2  28  01. Pick a number that could be squared to get the first partition, 2. This number is 1, since 1×1=1

Third step: Write 1 on the top and on the side, as shown in the second graph

Fourth step: Double the number on the side, which is 1+1=2 and use this number as the first digit for the next multiplier. Meanwhile, subtract 1 from 2 inside the root sign to get 1, then pull the other two digits, 28

Fifth step: We need a value in the boxes that when we multiply together will give a number less than 128. We choose 5 as 25×5=125

Sixth step: Subtract 125 from  128 to give 3, and as the same concept with long division, bring down the 0 and the 1. So we have 301

Seventh step: Add 5 to the multiplier on the left, so 20+5=30, which we will use on the side as the hundred and ten digits.

Final step: Find a number to fit in the boxes. We choose 1 since 301×1=301

And hence the square root of 228801 is 151
