Five pulse rates are randomly selected from a set of measurements. The five pulse rates have a mean of 65.4 beats per minute. Fo

ur of the pulse rates are 57​, 55​, 62​, and 83. a. Find the missing value. b. Suppose that you need to create a list of n values that have a specific known mean. Some of the n values can be freely selected. How many of the n values can be freely assigned before the remaining values are​ determined? (The result is referred to as the number of degrees of​ freedom.)

Answer:

<h2>a) 70</h2><h2>b) n-1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is defined as the sum total of data divided by the total number of data.

\overline x = \frac{\sum Xi}{N}

Xi are individual data

N is the total number of data = 5

Given the mean of the pulse rate = 65.4

a) Let the 5pulse rates be our data as shown: 57​, 55​, 62​, 83 and y where y is the missing value. According to the formula:

65.4 = \frac{57+55+62+83+y}{5}

65.4 = \frac{257+y}{5}\\ 257+y = 65.4*5\\257+y = 327\\y = 327-257\\y = 70

The missing value is 70

b) Since the total list of numbers is n values with a specific known mean, if some of this values can be freely selected, the number of n values that can be freely assigned before the remaining values are​ determined is any values less than n i.e n-1 values.

From the formula for calculating mean:

\overline x = \frac{\sum Xi}{N}\\{\sum Xi} = N\overline x

This shows that the sum of all the values is equal to the product of the total values and the mean value. Since we can freely choose n-1 values, then sum of the set of data can be written as \sum \sumx^{n-1}  _i__=_1 Xi

\sum \sumx^{n-1}  _i__=_1 Xi \  =\  N \overline x

The number of n values which is referred to the degree of freedom is n-1

A countertop is 16 feet long and 3 feet wide. what is the area of the countertop in square meters
Paladinen [302]

The area of the countertop is (16-ft x 3-ft) = 48 feet² .

1 foot = 0.3048 meter (rounded)

(1 foot)² = (0.3048 meter)² = 0.0929 meter²

48 feet² = (48 x 0.0929) =  4.459 meter² (rounded)

Geomtry plzzzz help me
victus00 [196]

Step-by-step explanation:

it is an isoceles triangle (equally long legs).

there is a right angle at W, so YW is the height of the isoceles triangle XYZ.

that means W splits XZ in half.

therefore,

ZW = XZ/2 = 38/2 = 19

You decided to throw a fair die four times.
Finger [1]

Answer:

If all you care about is whether you roll 2 or not, you get a Binomial distribution with an individual success probability 1/6. The probability of rolling 2 at least two times, is the same as the probability of not rolling 2 at zero or one time.

the answer is, 1 - bin(k=0, n=4, r=1/6) - bin(k=1, n=4, r=1/6). This evaluates to about 13%, just like your result (you just computed all three outcomes satisfying the proposition rather than the two that didn’t).
