Researchers recorded the speed of ants on trails in their natural environments. The ants studied, Leptogenys processionalis, all have the same body size in their adult phase, which made it easy to measure speeds in units of body lengths per second (bl/s). The researchers found that, when traffic is light and not congested, ant speeds vary roughly Normally, with mean 6.20 bl/s and standard deviation 1.58 bl/s. (a) What is the probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s? You may find Table B useful. (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)

Answer:

0.7762

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

Population mean = 6.20 bl/s

Standard deviation = 1.58 bl/s.

x = 5 bl/s

z = 5 - 6.20/1.58

z = -0.75949

The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is P( x > 5)

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<5) = 0.22378

P(x>5) = 1 - P(x<5)

= 1 - 22378

= 0.77622

Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.7762

The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is 0.7762

(ED. 21) Analytic Geometry Unit Test..... #3 Which point is a solution of x2 + y2 > 49 and y ≤ –x2 – 4?

sdas [7]

Answer:

We want to find a solution of the system:

x^2 + y^2 > 49

y ≤ –x^2 – 4

Here we do not have any options, so let's try to find a general solution.

First, we can remember that the equation of a circle centered in the point (a, b) and of radius R is:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

If we look at our first inequality, we can write it as:

x^2 + y^2 > 7^2

So the solutions of the first inequality are all the points that are outside (because the symbol used is >) of the circle of radius R = 7 centered in the origin.

From the other equation, we would get:

y ≤ –x^2 – 4

This is parabola, anything that is in the graph of the parabola or below will be a solution for this inequality.

Then the solutions of the system, are the ones that are in the region of solutions for both inequalities.

You can see the graph below, where both regions are graphed. The intersection of these regions is the region of the solutions for the system of inequalities:

by looking at the graph, we can see a lot of points that are solutions, like:

(0, -10)

(0, -15)

(2, -10)

etc.
