Answer:

(a) The mean of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 27.

(b) The standard deviation of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 15.01.

(c) The probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 is 0.0192.

(d) The probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 is 0.7115.

(e) The probability that a person is born after week 16 is 0.7115.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the births between the 52 weeks of the year.

The random variable <em>X</em> is uniformly distributed with parameters <em>a</em> = 1 to <em>b</em> = 53.

The probability distribution function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a};\ a

(a)

Compute the mean of the Uniformly distributed random  variable <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)

         =\frac{1}{2}\times (1+53)

         =27

Thus, the mean of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 27.

(b)

Compute the standard deviation of the  Uniformly distributed random  variable <em>X</em> as follows:

SD(X)=\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}\times (b-a)^{2}}

            =\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}\times (53-1)^{2}}

            =15.01

Thus, the standard deviation of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 15.01.

(c)

Compute the probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 as follows:

Use continuity correction.

P (X = 36) = P (36 - 0.5 < X < 36 + 0.5)

                = P (35.5 < X < 36.5)

                =\int\limits^{36.5}_{35.5}{\frac{1}{53-1}}}\, dx\\

                =\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{36.5}_{35.5}{1}\, dx

                =\frac{36.5-35.5}{52}

                =0.0192

Thus, the probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 is 0.0192.

(d)

Compute the probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 as follows:

P(8

                        =\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{45}_{8}{1}\, dx

                        =\frac{45-8}{52}

                        =0.7115

Thus, the probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 is 0.7115.

(e)

Compute the probability that a person is born after week 16 as follows:

P(X>16)=\int\limits^{53}_{16}{\frac{1}{53-1}}\, dx

                 =\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{53}_{16}{1}\, dx

                 =\frac{53-16}{52}

                 =0.7115

Thus, the probability that a person is born after week 16 is 0.7115.

laila [671]

Answer:

  • C. Her sister grew about 0.75 inch each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

  • y = 0.75x + 15

The function is linear and it represents:

  • y - current heigt of baby
  • x - number of months passed
  • 0.75 - the slope is the monthly growth rate
  • 15 - the y-intercept, is the initial height of baby

According the above explanation the correct answer choice is C

Hi I need help please I’ll give brainliesst to show ever helps and explains
saw5 [17]

Answer: 233.19

Step-by-step explanation:

equation to find volume: width x length x height

the left box:

(14-7) x 3.25 x 3.25= 73.9375 (round after adding)

the right box:

7 x 3.25 x 7= 159.25

73.9375 + 159.25= 233.1875

Round to nearest hundredth: 233.19

Please help <br><br>y≥1/3x-3​
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

B, the one with the line and shaded the top on the right side. (The one that goes to 7 on the x axis).

Step-by-step explanation:

First I find which graph as y -intercept of -3, which is all of them.

Next, I find with graph has a slope of 1/3. (rise 1 run 3). Only B and D has a slope of 1/3 (The ones that has a less steep graph. )

Then, I use the coordinate (0,0) to see which side the graph shades. I plug it into the inequality. (0)≥1/3(0)-3​. Solve. Is 0 greater than -3. YES! so we shade the part where (0,0) is shaded which is B.

Answer:

This would not be an appropriate sampling technique because it is biased and it would not be fair for 60 students to choose a mascot for a school with 800 students.
