The following data were collected by counting the number of operating rooms in use atTampa general Hospital over a 20-day period

: On three of the days only one operatingroom was used, on five of the days two were used, on eight of the days three were used,and on four days all four of the hospital’s operating rooms were used.
a. Use the relative frequency approach to construct an empirical discrete probabilitydistribution for the number of operating rooms in use on any given day.b. Draw a graph of the probability distribution.c. Show that your probability distribution satisfies the required conditions for a validdiscrete probability distribution.

Answer:

a)

Operating room x    1         2      3       4

P(x)                          0.15  0.25  0.4   0.2

b)

The graph of probability distribution is in attached image.

c)

All the probabilities lies in the range (0 to 1) and the probabilities add up to 1 so, the computed probability distribution is the valid probability distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of operating rooms   Days

1                                                  3

2                                                 5

3                                                 8

4                                                 4

a)

Sum of frequencies=1+2+3+4=10

Operating rooms x   frequency f  Relative frequency

1                                    3                    3/20=0.15

2                                   5                   5/20=0.25

3                                   8                   8/20=0.4

4                                   4                   4/20=0.2

So, using the relative frequency approach, a discrete probability distribution for number of operating rooms in use on any given day is

Operating room x    1         2      3       4

P(x)                          0.15  0.25  0.4   0.2

b)

The graph of probability distribution is in attached image.

c)

There are two conditions for a probability distribution to be valid

1. All probability must ranges from 0 to 1.

2. All probabilities must add up to 1.

We can see that all the probabilities lies in the range (0 to 1), so, condition 1 is satisfied.

For condition 2,

sum[p(x)]= 0.15+0.25+0.4+0.2=0.4+0.6=1.

As the probabilities add up to 1, so the condition 2 is also satisfied.

Thus, the computed probability distribution is the valid probability distribution.

85 x 3 = 255
 first 2 test grades were 81 and 86:
81 + 86 = 167

Need to find the 3rd to have exact average 85:
255 - 167 = 88

So her 3rd test needs to make 88 to make average of 85

Double check: 81 + 86 + 88 =  255 = 85 + 85 + 85

Find an equation of the parabola y = ax2 + bx + c that passes through (0, 1) and is tangent to the line y = 4x − 4 at (1, 0).
larisa86 [58]
We are given the following:
          - parabola passes to both (1,0) and (0,1) 
<span>          - slope at x = 1 is 4 from the equation of the tangent line </span>

<span>First, we figure out the value of c or the y intercept, we use the second point (0, 1) and substitute to the equation of the parabola. W</span><span>hen x = 0, y = 1. So, c should be equal to 1. The</span><span> parabola is y = ax^2 + bx + 1 </span>

<span>Now, we can substitute the point (1,0) into the equation,
</span>0 = a(1)^2 + b(1) + 1 
<span>0 = a + b + 1
a + b = -1 </span>

<span>The slope at x = 1 is equal to 4 which is equal to the first derivative of the equation.</span>
<span>We take the derivative of the  equation ,
y = ax^2 + bx + 1</span>
<span>y' = 2ax + b 
</span>
<span>x = 1, y' = 2
</span>4 = 2a(1) + b 
<span>4 = 2a + b </span>

So, we have two equations and  two unknowns,<span> </span>
<span>2a + b = 4 </span>
<span>a + b = -1 
</span><span>
Solving simultaneously,
a = 5 </span>
<span>b = -6</span>

<span>Therefore, the eqution of the parabola is y = 5x^2 - 6x + 1 .</span>
