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

Will mark brainlest how to multipy it​
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

\displaystyle x   = 2 \sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to solve the following equation:

\displaystyle  \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{6}{x}

in order to do so do cross multiplication:

\displaystyle x \sqrt{3}  =  6

divide both sides by √3:

\displaystyle x   =   \frac{6}{ \sqrt{3}}

since we ended up with a square root on the denominator so we can consider rationalising the denominator to do so multiply both numerator and denominator by √3 which yields:

\displaystyle x   =   \frac{6}{ \sqrt{3}}  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{ 3} }

simplify multiplication:

\displaystyle x   =   \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{ 3}

reduce fraction:

\displaystyle x   = 2 \sqrt{3}

and we are done!

Need t in degrees not just solve for t
Inessa [10]

An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite inside angles.

T + 31 = t + t-29

Simplify:

T + 31 = 2t -29

Add 29 to both sides:

T + 60 = 2t

Subtract 1t from both sides:

T = 60

For which values of P and Q does the following equation have infinitely many solutions ?
solmaris [256]

Answer:

(P, Q) = (-75, 57)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will have infinitely many solutions when it is a tautology.

Subtract the right side from the equation:

Px +57 -(-75x +Q) = 0

x(P+75) +(57 -Q) = 0

This will be a tautology (0=0) when ...

P+75 = 0

P = -75

and

57-Q = 0

57 = Q

_____

These values in the original equation make it ...

-75x +57 = -75x +57 . . . . . a tautology, always true
