Data will be collected on the following variables. Which variable can be considered discrete? A. The height of a person B . The

kvv77 [185]

Answer: E: The number of books a person finished reading last month

Step-by-step explanation:

First, a discrete variable is a variable that only can take some given values in a set, the discrete variables are usually not dense, and a continuous variable is a variable that can take any value in a range (where the accepted values are dense).

So, for example, the set of the natural numbers is discrete, and the set of the real numbers can represent a continuous variable.

Here the only option that is really discrete will be the number of books that a person finished reading last month because here only positive whole numbers are accepted (you can not finish a 0.454 of a book)

The other options are continuous because all are classical measures.

For example, the weight of a person can jump between:

75.6kg and 75.7kg.

So you could think that this is discrete because the values between 75.6kg and 75.7g are not shown with our measuring device, but those will be added in the error of the measure because the weights between 75.6kg and 75.7kg are actually possible, so they must be accepted.

A rectangular dog park was built with the dimensions shown. The fencing that completely surrounds the park cost $12 a yard. Each

leonid [27]

Answer:

sod- 1662.6

fencing- 807.6

all- 2470.2

Step-by-step explanation:

sod-

25.5 * 8.25 = 207.825

207.825*8= 1662.6

fencing-

8.25+8.25+25.5+25.5= 67.3

67.3*12= 807.6

fencing + sod

1662.6 + 807.6= 2470.2

The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.3

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

a) There is a 74.22% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes.

b) There is a 1-0.0548 = 0.9452 = 94.52% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes.

c) There is a 68.74% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.3 minutes. This means that $\mu = 8.3, \sigma = 3.3$ .

(a) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes?

We are working with a sample mean of 37 jets. So we have that:

$s = \frac{3.3}{\sqrt{37}} = 0.5425$

Total time of 320 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{320}{37} = 8.65$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when $X = 8.65$ . So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{8.65 - 8.3}{0.5425}$

$Z = 0.65$

$Z = 0.65$ has a pvalue of 0.7422. This means that there is a 74.22% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes.

(b) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes?

Total time of 275 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{275}{37} = 7.43$

This probability is subtracted by the pvalue of Z when $X = 7.43$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{7.43 - 8.3}{0.5425}$

$Z = -1.60$

$Z = -1.60$ has a pvalue of 0.0548.

There is a 1-0.0548 = 0.9452 = 94.52% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes.

(c) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes?

Total time of 320 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{320}{37} = 8.65$

Total time of 275 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{275}{37} = 7.43$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when $X = 8.65$ subtracted by the pvalue of Z when $X = 7.43$ .

So:

From a), we have that for $X = 8.65$ , we have $Z = 0.65$ , that has a pvalue of 0.7422.

From b), we have that for $X = 7.43$ , we have $Z = -1.60$ , that has a pvalue of 0.0548.

So there is a 0.7422 - 0.0548 = 0.6874 = 68.74% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes.
