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

If Sarah invests $5,000 into a fund that earns 6% interest compounded annually, how long will it take for her investment to grow
yarga [219]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

so next year her money would be 6% more so:

5000 + (0.6 * 5000) = (1.06) * 5000

So each year she'll have : (1.06)*(last year's money)

So we can say after n years she will have :

((1.06)^n) * 5000

So:

5000((1.06)^n)=50000

n is 39.5

So around 40

Select the correct answer.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

ln x + 5, similarily to ln x, has no right asymptote, because it goes to infinity (very slowly), but also any line y=ax+b raises faster than ln x for positive a.

It has a left asymptote though - ln x deacreases very fast as x approaches 0, so it has a vertical asymptote of x = 0.

Past experience indicates that the time re- quired for high school seniors to complete a standard- ized test is a normal random

With a standard deviation of 6 minutes, we will test the hypothesis that σ = 6 against the alternative that σ < 6 if a random sample of the test times of 20 high school seniors has a standard deviation s = 4.51. use a 0.05 level of significance. <span /><span><span>

I will give brainliest
mariarad [96]

Answer:

1. I need to see the table to answer that

2. I think you need to find the probability of getting 1, H. That probability is 1/10 which is also 10%.

3. can't answer a, but b is 1/14 or 7%

4. as a fraction= 1/6

as a percent= 17% (rounded up)

Step-by-step explanation:

2. I just took the outcome needed and decided by the possible outcomes.

3. That was a compound event so I just got the probability of flipping tails (1/2) and multiplied it by the probability of getting a white ball (1/7)

4. another compound event, I got the probability of getting a medium (1/3) and multiplied it by getting yellow (1/2)

hope this helped!
