Answer:

97.6% of the trees will have diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 12 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 2.2 inches

We are given that the distribution of diameter of tree is a mound shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches)

P(7.6 \leq x \leq 18.6) = P(\displaystyle\frac{7.6 - 12}{2.2} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{18.6-12}{2.2}) = P(-2 \leq z \leq 3)\\\\= P(z \leq 3) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.999 - 0.023 = 0.976= 97.6\%

P(7.6 \leq x \leq 18.6) = 97.6\%

97.6% of the trees will have diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches.

1. find the speed of a car
the distance is 124 miles and the time is 2 hours
the speed is defined as distance / time, therefore
speed = 124/2 = 62 miles/hour
that is the speed

2.find the time from equation time = distance/speed, when the distance is 395 miles and the speed is 79 miles/hour, then
time = 395 miles / 79 miles/hour = 395/79
time = 5 hours

A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are
NISA [10]

Answer:

425 milliliters of compound A are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

We were told that 5 milliliters of compound A and 6 milliliters of compound B is needed to make the drug.

This means that each drug contains 11 milliliters of both compounds.

\frac{935}{11}=85 milliliters is the volume of each drug.


Therefore the chemist needed 5\times 85=425 millilirteres of compound A.

5.44 Teaching descriptive statistics: A study compared five different methods for teaching descriptive statistics. The five meth
maria [59]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean. While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For the case above, let μ represent the average test scores for the teaching methods:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)
