The equation of the graphed line is x+2y=5 What is the x intercept of the graph?

andrezito [222]

Answer:

a) 0.27% probability that the mean is less than 1995 milliliters.

b) 2002.3 milliliters or more will occur only 10% of the time for the sample of 100 bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, it is important to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

Central Limit theorem

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 $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 2000, \sigma = 18$

A) If the manufacturer samples 100 bottles, what is the probability that the mean is less than 1995 milliliters?

So $n = 100, s = \frac{18}{\sqrt{100}} = 1.8$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 1995. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{1995 - 2000}{1.8}$

$Z = -2.78$

$Z = -2.78$ has a pvalue of 0.0027

So 0.27% probability that the mean is less than 1995 milliliters.

B) What mean overfill or more will occur only 10% of the time for the sample of 100 bottles?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9.

So it is X when $Z = 1.28$

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

$1.28 = \frac{X - 2000}{1.8}$

$X - 2000 = 1.8*1.28$

$X = 2002.3$

2002.3 milliliters or more will occur only 10% of the time for the sample of 100 bottles.

A farmer estimates that he has 9,000 bees producing honey on his farm. The farmer becomes concerned when he realizes the populat

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)^x represents the situation.
After 2 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 8,120 bees remaining.
The range values, in the context of the situation, are limited to whole number

Step-by-step explanation:

The "growth" rate is -5%, so the growth factor, the base in the exponential equation, is 1.00-5% =0.95.

Using x=2, we find the population in 2 years is expected to be about ...

f(2) = 9000·0.95^2 ≈ 8123 . . . . about 8120

Using x=4, we find the population in 4 years is expected to be about ...

f(4) = 9000·0.95^4 ≈ 7331 . . . . about 7330

Since population is whole numbers of bees, the range of the function is limited to whole numbers.

The domain of the function is numbers of years. Years can be divided into fractions as small as you want, so the domain is not limited to whole numbers.

The choices listed above are applicable to the situation described.

Ana has won a lottery. She was offered two options to receive the award: She can either take it in five installments of $60,000

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

She can either take it in five installments of $60,000 annually, starting from now; or she can take a lump-sum of $255,000 now.

First, we determine the value of the 5 installments using a 5% annual compounded rate.

We calculate the future value, and then the present value:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual payments

FV= {60,000*[(1.05^5) - 1]} / 0.05

FV= $331.537.88

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= $259,768.60

At an annual rate of 5% compounded annually, she should choose the five installments instead of the $255,000.

Now, if the annual rate is 6% continuously compounded.

First, we need to calculate the effective interest rate:

r= e^i - 1

r= effective inerest rate

r= e^0.06 - 1

r= 0.0618

FV= {60,000*[(1.0618^5) - 1]} / 0.0618

FV= 339,443.23

PV= 339,443.23/1.0618^5

PV= $251,509.01

At an annual rate of 6% compounded continuously, she should choose the $255,000.
