Suppose the salaries of university professors are approximately normally distributed with a mean of $65,000 and a standard devia

tion of $7,000. If a random sample of size 25 is taken and the mean is calculated, what is the probability that the mean value will be between $62,500 and $64,000

Answer:

0.2009

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean(μ) = 65000

Standard deviation (σ) = 7000

n = 25

Let X be the random variable which is a measure of salaries of university professors

Z = (μ - x) /σ/√n

Pr(62500 ≤ x ≤ 64000) = ???

Pr((65000 - 62500)/7000/√25 ≤ z ≤ (65000 - 64000) / 7000/√25)

= Pr(2500 / 7000/5 ≤ z ≤ 1000 / 7000/5)

= Pr(2500 / 1400 ≤ z ≤ 1000/1400)

= Pr(1.79 ≤ z ≤ 0.714)

= Pr(0 ≤ z ≤ 1.79) - Pr(0 ≤ z ≤ 0.714)

From the normal distribution table we have

0.4633 - 0.2624

= 0.2009

Write the quadratic equation in standard form:<br> 7x + 8 + 2x2<br> 2x + 1 + x2

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$3x^2 + 9x +9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(7x + 8 + 2x^2) + (2x + 1 + x^2)$

Required

The result in standard form

We have:

$(7x + 8 + 2x^2) + (2x + 1 + x^2)$

Remove brackets

$7x + 8 + 2x^2 + 2x + 1 + x^2$

Collect like terms

$7x+ 2x + 8 + 1 + 2x^2+ x^2$

$9x + 9+ 3x^2$

The standard form of a quadratic equation is:

$ax^2 + bx + c$

So, we have:

$9x + 9+ 3x^2$

$3x^2 + 9x +9$

When Jimmy and Shane went fishing, Shane caught 2 more than three times the number of fish that Jimmy caught. Write an algebraic

ziro4ka [17]

For the answer to the question above,

though the first two would start out as S, when you put the actual value into the equation, that is what you get. This is the equation based on your question above 3 * 2 + 2 = j

the front of a tent is an equilateral triangle with the ratio of its base b toits height h given by b/h+2/3 rewrite the equation

kap26 [50]

Answer:

h = b(√3)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of base to height of an equilateral triangle is ...

... b/h = 2/√3

Multiplying both sides of the equation by (√3)h/2, we get

.. h = b(√3)/2 . . . . . . your equation with h as the subject

<u>Step 2: Differentiate</u>

Chain Rule: $\displaystyle y' = 2(x + \sqrt{x})^{2 - 1} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[x + \sqrt{x}]$
Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = 2(x + x^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2 - 1} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[x + x^{\frac{1}{2}}]$
