A teacher decided to bring a jar of 530 pieces of small candy to his 100-student classroom so students could practice estimation

. The students were told that whoever had the closest guess would win the candy. Suppose we took a random sample of one third of the students and calculated the sample mean of their guesses. The distribution of individual guesses had a mean of 400 pieces of candy and a standard deviation of 3,000 pieces of candy (the students had a lot of trouble guessing the count).

Answer:

Yes, because the population distribution is normally distributed, and we have a random sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population is skewed, then the sample mean won't be normal for when N is small.

If the population is normal, then the distribution of sample mean looks normal even if N = 2.

If the population is skewed, then the distribution of sample mean looks more and more normal when N gets larger.

Since we have use 33% of the student, then N is large enough to conclude that the student are bad at guessing

Use variation of parameters to find a general solution to the differential equation given that the functions y1 and y2 are linea
Aleks [24]

Recall that variation of parameters is used to solve second-order ODEs of the form

<em>y''(t)</em> + <em>p(t)</em> <em>y'(t)</em> + <em>q(t)</em> <em>y(t)</em> = <em>f(t)</em>

so the first thing you need to do is divide both sides of your equation by <em>t</em> :

<em>y''</em> + (2<em>t</em> - 1)/<em>t</em> <em>y'</em> - 2/<em>t</em> <em>y</em> = 7<em>t</em>

<em />

You're looking for a solution of the form

y=y_1u_1+y_2u_2

where

u_1(t)=\displaystyle-\int\frac{y_2(t)f(t)}{W(y_1,y_2)}\,\mathrm dt

u_2(t)=\displaystyle\int\frac{y_1(t)f(t)}{W(y_1,y_2)}\,\mathrm dt

and <em>W</em> denotes the Wronskian determinant.

Compute the Wronskian:

W(y_1,y_2) = W\left(2t-1,e^{-2t}\right) = \begin{vmatrix}2t-1&e^{-2t}\\2&-2e^{-2t}\end{vmatrix} = -4te^{-2t}

Then

u_1=\displaystyle-\int\frac{7te^{-2t}}{-4te^{-2t}}\,\mathrm dt=\frac74\int\mathrm dt = \frac74t

u_2=\displaystyle\int\frac{7t(2t-1)}{-4te^{-2t}}\,\mathrm dt=-\frac74\int(2t-1)e^{2t}\,\mathrm dt=-\frac74(t-1)e^{2t}

The general solution to the ODE is

y = C_1(2t-1) + C_2e^{-2t} + \dfrac74t(2t-1) - \dfrac74(t-1)e^{2t}e^{-2t}

which simplifies somewhat to

\boxed{y = C_1(2t-1) + C_2e^{-2t} + \dfrac74(2t^2-2t+1)}

Which relation does not represent a function? A) a vertical line B) y = 5 9 x - 3 C) a horizontal line D) {(1, 7), (3,7), (5, 7)
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

A) a vertical line does not represent a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a relation to be a function for each value of x there must be only one value of y. In other words a function is one in which each value in the domain set corresponds to only one value in the range set.

Let us check for this condition in the give choices:

A) a vertical line

A vertical line is given as x=a which meas it is parallel to y-axis and has infinite number of y values for a single x value.

So, its Not a function

B) y=\frac{5}{9}x-3

For the given equation, on plugging in some x value will give a single y value.

So, its a Function

C) a horizontal line

A horizontal line is given as y=a which meas it is parallel to x-axis and has infinite number of x values giving a single y value.

So, its a Function

D) {(1, 7), (3,7), (5, 7), (7,7)}

For the given set for different x valuesthere is only one y value.

So, its a Function
