Suppose a geyser has a mean time between eruptions of 72 minutes. Let the interval of time between the eruptions be normally dis
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected time interval between eruptions is longer than 82 ​minutes is 0.3336.

(b) The probability that a random sample of 13-time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 82 ​minutes is 0.0582.

(c) The probability that a random sample of 34 time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 82 ​minutes is 0.0055.

(d) Due to an increase in the sample size, the probability that the sample mean of the time between eruptions is greater than 82 minutes decreases because the variability in the sample mean decreases as the sample size increases.

(e) The population mean must be more than 72​, since the probability is so low.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a geyser has a mean time between eruptions of 72 minutes.

Also, the interval of time between the eruptions be normally distributed with a standard deviation of 23 minutes.

(a) Let X = <u><em>the interval of time between the eruptions</em></u>

So, X ~ N(\mu=72, \sigma^{2} =23^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                            Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean time = 72 minutes

           \sigma = standard deviation = 23 minutes

Now, the probability that a randomly selected time interval between eruptions is longer than 82 ​minutes is given by = P(X > 82 min)

       P(X > 82 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{82-72}{23} ) = P(Z > 0.43) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.43)

                                                           = 1 - 0.6664 = <u>0.3336</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.43 in the z table which has an area of 0.6664.

(b) Let \bar X = <u><em>sample mean time between the eruptions</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

                            Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean time = 72 minutes

           \sigma = standard deviation = 23 minutes

           n = sample of time intervals = 13

Now, the probability that a random sample of 13 time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 82 ​minutes is given by = P(\bar X > 82 min)

       P(\bar X > 82 min) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{82-72}{\frac{23}{\sqrt{13} } } ) = P(Z > 1.57) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.57)

                                                           = 1 - 0.9418 = <u>0.0582</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.57 in the z table which has an area of 0.9418.

(c) Let \bar X = <u><em>sample mean time between the eruptions</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

                            Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean time = 72 minutes

           \sigma = standard deviation = 23 minutes

           n = sample of time intervals = 34

Now, the probability that a random sample of 34 time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 82 ​minutes is given by = P(\bar X > 82 min)

       P(\bar X > 82 min) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{82-72}{\frac{23}{\sqrt{34} } } ) = P(Z > 2.54) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.54)

                                                           = 1 - 0.9945 = <u>0.0055</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.54 in the z table which has an area of 0.9945.

(d) Due to an increase in the sample size, the probability that the sample mean of the time between eruptions is greater than 82 minutes decreases because the variability in the sample mean decreases as the sample size increases.

(e) If a random sample of 34-time intervals between eruptions has a mean longer than 82 ​minutes, then we conclude that the population mean must be more than 72​, since the probability is so low.

Find the intersection points of the linear and quadratic functions shown below f(x)=2x-5 g(x)= x2+2x-21
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

(-4,-13) and (4,3) the intersection points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersection point of two functions is a common point which satisfies both the functions.

Given functions are,

f(x)=2x-5

g(x)=x^2+2x-21

For a common point of these functions,

f(x)=g(x)

2x-5=x^2+2x-21

-5=x^2-21

0=x^2-16

x^2=16

x=-4,4

For x=-4,

f(-4)=g(-4)=2(-4)-5

                       =-13

For x=4,

f(4)=g(4)=2(4)-5

                  =3

Therefore, (-4,-13) and (4,3) the intersection points.

Find the measure of angle ABD if the measure of angle DBC is 42 degrees and the measure of angle ABC is 88 degrees
snow_lady [41]

    First, realize that angle ABC is the sum of the two other angles. Hence, form an equation in which you subtract the measure of one of the angles from angle ABC to get the measure of the other angle -- the one you are solving for.

(x-5)1/2+5=2<br> (x-5)1/2=-3<br> [(x-5)^1/2]^2=(-3)^2
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to solve for x, right?

(x-5)^(1/2)+5=2

You have it right so far.

(x - 5)^(1/2) = -3

(x - 5)  =  (-3)^2

x - 5 = 9

x = 9 + 5 = 14
