It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. One study looked at the average number of minute

s per day that people spend standing or walking. among mildly obese people, the mean number of minutes of daily activity (standing or Walking) is approximately Normally distributed with the mean 373 minutes and standard deviation 67 minutes. the mean number of minutes of daily activity for lean people is approximately Normally distributed with mean 526 minutes and standard deviation 107 minutes. A researcher records the minutes of activity for an SRS of 5 mildly obese people and an SRS of 5 lean people.
A) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes?
B) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes?

Answer:

a) 10.93% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes.

b) 99.22% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 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}}.

Normal probability distribution

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.

Mildly obese

Normally distributed with mean 373 minutes and standard deviation 67 minutes. So \mu = 373, \sigma = 67

A) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes?

So n = 5, s = \frac{67}{\sqrt{5}} = 29.96

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

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

Z = \frac{410 - 373}{29.96}

Z = 1.23

Z = 1.23 has a pvalue of 0.8907.

So there is a 1-0.8907 = 0.1093 = 10.93% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes.

Lean

Normally distributed with mean 526 minutes and standard deviation 107 minutes. So \mu = 526, \sigma = 107

B) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes?

So n = 5, s = \frac{107}{\sqrt{5}} = 47.86

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

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

Z = \frac{410 - 526}{47.86}

Z = -2.42

Z = -2.42 has a pvalue of 0.0078.

So there is a 1-0.0078 = 0.9922 = 99.22% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes.

What is the quotient of 3.12 x 108 and 2.6 x 105 expressed in scientific notation?​
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

1.2 * 10^3

Step-by-step explanation:

3.12 * 10^8

=========

2.6 * 10^5

Start by doing 3.12 / 1.6 = 1.2 and that is the correct number of sig digs.

Now get the power on the 10. When dividing, the powers subtract.

10^(8 - 5)

10^ 3

The answer is 1.2 * 10^3

The length of a photograph is 3cm less than twice the width. The area is 54cm². Find the dimentions of the photograph.
AnnyKZ [126]
L=2w-3 

w(2w-3)=54

2w²- 3w-54=0

A= 2 , B= -3, C= -54

sub values into quadratic formula
 i attached picture of formula

Final answer:  you will be given 2 answers 6 and -4.5. -4.5 is rejected since a negative value cannot represent length because that just doesn't make sense.

w=6

Check:
L=2w-3
=2(6)-3
=12-3
=9
  9*6=54

Therefore the dimensions of the photograph are 6 cm by 9 cm
