What is the range of the function g(x) = |x - 12| - 2?

PtichkaEL [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given by

It is an absolute value function which has a v- shaped graph.

The vertex form of an absolute function is given by y = a|x-h| +k, where (h,k) is the vertex.

Comparing the given equation with this, we have

h = 12

k = -2

Hence, the vertex would be (12,-2).

Now, the range of the function is the set of y values for which the function is defined.

This function has vertex of (12,-2). hence, it would not take any values which are less than -2. Please see the attached graph.

Hence, the range would be the all y values greater than or equal to -2.

Hence, the range is given by

A car travels 30 miles in 1/2 hour. What is the average speed at which the car is traveling in miles

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

the car is traveling 60 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is going 30 miles in half an hour, we just need to double both values to find the speed for an hour

30*2=60

1/2*2=1

60 miles per hour

hope this helps pls give crown <3

Suppose that a basketball player can score on a particular shot with probability .3. Use the central limit theorem to find the a

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

(a) The probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

(b) The probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

(c) The probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

(d) The probability that the number of successes is at most 11 is 0.9357.

→ All the exact probabilities are more than the approximated probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S = a basketball player scores a shot.

The probability that a basketball player scores a shot is, P (S) = p = 0.30.

The number of sample selected is, n = 25.

The random variable $S\sim Bin(25,0.30)$

According to the central limit theorem if the sample taken from an unknown population is large then the sampling distribution of the sample proportion ( $\hat p$ ) follows a normal distribution.

The mean of the the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is: $E(\hat p)=p=0.30$

The standard deviation of the the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is:

$SD(\hat p)=\sqrt{\frac{ p(1- p)}{n} }=\sqrt{\frac{ 0.30(1-0.30)}{25} }=0.092$

(a)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 5 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: $p=\frac{5}{25} =0.20$

$P(\hat p\leq 0.20)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq \frac{0.20-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq -1.087)\\=1-P(Z$

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is:

$P(S\leq 5)={25\choose 5}(0.30)^{5}91-0.30)^{25-5}=0.1935$

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

(b)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 7 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: $p=\frac{7}{25} =0.28$

$P(\hat p\leq 0.28)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq \frac{0.28-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq -0.2174)\\=1-P(Z$

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 7 is 0.4129.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 7 is:

$P(S\leq 57)={25\choose 7}(0.30)^{7}91-0.30)^{25-7}=0.5118$

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

(c)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 9 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: $p=\frac{9}{25} =0.36$

$P(\hat p\leq 0.36)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq \frac{0.36-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq 0.6522)\\=0.7422$

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 9 is 0.7422.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 9 is:

$P(S\leq 9)={25\choose 9}(0.30)^{9}91-0.30)^{25-9}=0.8106$

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

(d)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 11 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: $p=\frac{11}{25} =0.44$

$P(\hat p\leq 0.44)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq \frac{0.44-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq 1.522)\\=0.9357$

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 11 is 0.9357.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 11 is:

$P(S\leq 11)={25\choose 11}(0.30)^{11}91-0.30)^{25-11}=0.9558$

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.
