It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. One study looked at the average number of minute

s per day that people spend standing or walking. Among mildly obese people, the mean number of minutes of daily activity (standing or walking) is approximately Normally distributed with mean 375 minutes and standard deviation 68 minutes. The mean number of minutes of daily activity for lean people is approximately Normally distributed with mean 522 minutes and standard deviation 106 minutes. A researcher records the minutes of activity for an SRS of 6 mildly obese people and an SRS of 6 lean people.Use z-scores rounded to two decimal places to answer the following:What is the probability (±0.0001) that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 410 minutes?What is the probability (±0.0001) that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 410 minutes?

Answer:

10.38% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 410 minutes.

99.55% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 410 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

Mildly obese

Normally distributed with mean 375 minutes and standard deviation 68 minutes. So \mu = 375, \sigma = 68

What is the probability (±0.0001) that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 410 minutes?

So n = 6, s = \frac{68}{\sqrt{6}} = 27.76

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

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

Z = \frac{410 - 375}{27.76}

Z = 1.26

Z = 1.26 has a pvalue of 0.8962.

So there is a 1-0.8962 = 0.1038 = 10.38% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 410 minutes.

Lean

Normally distributed with mean 522 minutes and standard deviation 106 minutes. So \mu = 522, \sigma = 106

What is the probability (±0.0001) that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 410 minutes?

So n = 6, s = \frac{106}{\sqrt{6}} = 43.27

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

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

Z = \frac{410 - 523}{43.27}

Z = -2.61

Z = -2.61 has a pvalue of 0.0045.

So there is a 1-0.0045 = 0.9955 = 99.55% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 410 minutes

Answer:

400 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first solve this problem with each unit representing 1 centimeter, and then scale up at the very end. The shape that we have a parallelogram. The base is 8 cm, and the height is 2 cm. The formula for the area of a parallelogram is just bh, so the area of the parallelogram is 16 square centimeters. However, now we scale up. Since each centimeter correlates to 5 meters, each little box will correlate to 25 square meters. Therefore, 16 \cdot 25 = \boxed{400} square meters is our answer

Which ratio is higher 15:20 or 12:16. for 35 points
Margarita [4]

To find which ratio is higher, we can first convert the ratios into fractions (that makes it easier, at least for me) and then simplify the fractions and see which one is greater.

Since ratios are basically division, 15:20 = \frac{15}{20}, and

12:16 = \frac{12}{16}

Now we simplify these fractions. 15 and 20 have a GCF of 5, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of \frac{3}{4}.

12 and 16 have a GCF of 4, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of \frac{3}{4}. Since \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{4}, these ratios are the same.
