. upper left chamber is enlarged, the risk of heart problems is increased. The paper "Left Atrial Size Increases with Body Mass

Index in Children" (International Journal of Cardiology [2009]: 1–7) described a study in which the left atrial size was measured for a large number of children age 5 to 15 years. Based on this data, the authors concluded that for healthy children, left atrial diameter was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 26.4 mm and a standard deviation of 4.2 mm. (a) Approximately what proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters less than 24 mm? (b) Approximately what proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters between 25 and 30 mm? (c) For healthy children, what is the value for which only about 20% have a larger left atrial diameter? [4] Suppose that the mean value of interpupillary distance (the distance between the pupils of the left and 2. right eyes) for adult males is 65 mm and that the population standard deviation is 5 mm. Suppose that a random sample of 100 adult males is to be obtained. (a) what is the probability that the sample mean distance ¯x for these 100 will be between 64 and 67 mm?

Answer:

Part 1

(a) 0.28434

(b) 0.43441

(c) 29.9 mm

Part 2

(a) 0.97722

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two questions here. We'll break them into two.

Part 1.

This is a normal distribution problem healthy children having the size of their left atrial diameters normally distributed with

Mean = μ = 26.4 mm

Standard deviation = σ = 4.2 mm

a) proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters less than 24 mm

P(x < 24)

We first normalize/standardize 24 mm

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (24 - 26.4)/4.2 = -0.57

The required probability

P(x < 24) = P(z < -0.57)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(x < 24) = P(z < -0.57) = 0.28434

b) proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters between 25 and 30 mm

P(25 < x < 30)

We first normalize/standardize 25 mm and 30 mm

For 25 mm

z = (x - μ)/σ = (25 - 26.4)/4.2 = -0.33

For 30 mm

z = (x - μ)/σ = (30 - 26.4)/4.2 = 0.86

The required probability

P(25 < x < 30) = P(-0.33 < z < 0.86)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(25 < x < 30) = P(-0.33 < z < 0.86)

= P(z < 0.86) - P(z < -0.33)

= 0.80511 - 0.37070 = 0.43441

c) For healthy children, what is the value for which only about 20% have a larger left atrial diameter.

Let the value be x' and its z-score be z'

P(x > x') = P(z > z') = 20% = 0.20

P(z > z') = 1 - P(z ≤ z') = 0.20

P(z ≤ z') = 0.80

Using normal distribution tables

z' = 0.842

z' = (x' - μ)/σ

0.842 = (x' - 26.4)/4.2

x' = 29.9364 = 29.9 mm

Part 2

Population mean = μ = 65 mm

Population Standard deviation = σ = 5 mm

The central limit theory explains that the sampling distribution extracted from this distribution will approximate a normal distribution with

Sample mean = Population mean

¯x = μₓ = μ = 65 mm

Standard deviation of the distribution of sample means = σₓ = (σ/√n)

where n = Sample size = 100

σₓ = (5/√100) = 0.5 mm

So, probability that the sample mean distance ¯x for these 100 will be between 64 and 67 mm = P(64 < x < 67)

We first normalize/standardize 64 mm and 67 mm

For 64 mm

z = (x - μ)/σ = (64 - 65)/0.5 = -2.00

For 67 mm

z = (x - μ)/σ = (67 - 65)/0.5 = 4.00

The required probability

P(64 < x < 67) = P(-2.00 < z < 4.00)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(64 < x < 67) = P(-2.00 < z < 4.00)

= P(z < 4.00) - P(z < -2.00)

= 0.99997 - 0.02275 = 0.97722

Hope this Helps!!!

The midpoint of AB is M(1, -4). If the coordinates of A are (-3,-6), what are the coordinates of B?
kramer

Answer:

The coordinates of B is (5,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the coordinates of B, you have to use midpoint formula. Then substitute the following values into the formula :

m = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )

Let (x1,y1) be A (-3,-6),

Let (x2,y2) be B,

Let midpoint be M (1,-4),

(1, - 4) =  (\frac{ - 3 + x2}{2} , \frac{ - 6 + y2}{2} )

by \: comparison, \:

\frac{ - 3 + x2}{2}  = 1

- 3 + x2 = 2

x2 = 5

\frac{ - 6 + y2}{2}  =  - 4

- 6 + y2 =  - 8

y2 =  - 2

What is the y-intercept of the line given by the equation below? Enter your answer as an ordered pair.
max2010maxim [7]

The y intercept of given equation y = 2x + 10 is (0, 10)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given equation of line is:

y = 2x + 10

<em><u>To find: y intercept of the line</u></em>

The point where a line or curve crosses the y-axis of a graph is y intercept

<em><u>Finding y - intercept:</u></em>

To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for 'x' and solve for 'y'

<em><u>Substitute x = 0 in given equation</u></em>

y = 2(0) + 10

y = 0 + 10

y = 10

Thus the y intercept of given equation is (0, 10)
