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.10 Among mildly obese people, minutes of activity varied according to the N(373, 67) distribution. Minutes of activity for lean people had the N(526, 107) distribution. Within what limits do the active minutes for about 95% of the people in each group fall? Use the 68–95–99.7 rule.

Answer:

Obese people

Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 373- 2(67) = 239

Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 373+ 2(67) = 507

Lean People

Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 526- 2(107) = 312

Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 526+ 2(107) = 740

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, "almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ)".

Solution to the problem

Obese people

Let X the random variable that represent the minutes of a population (obese people), and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(373,67)  

Where \mu=373 and \sigma=67

On this case we know that 95% of the data values are within two deviation from the mean using the 68-95-99.7 rule so then we can find the limits liek this:

Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 373- 2(67) = 239

Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 373+ 2(67) = 507

Lean People

Let X the random variable that represent the minutes of a population (lean people), and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(526,107)  

Where \mu=526 and \sigma=107

On this case we know that 95% of the data values are within two deviation from the mean using the 68-95-99.7 rule so then we can find the limits liek this:

Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 526- 2(107) = 312

Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 526+ 2(107) = 740

The interval for the lean people is significantly higher than the interval for the obese people.

Answer:

y=3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a the equation is y=3x+2 because he makes 3 every hour (3x) and he already has 2 (+2).

For the graph you replace x with any number and solve. Plot the point.

Then you do it again but with a different x.

Finally you draw a straight line trough the 2 points.

An equation and the steps to solve it are shown below:
Sphinxa [80]
S1: 7x - 4x - 2 = 6 OK
S2: 3x - 2 = 6 OK
S3: 3x - 2 + 2 = 6 WRONG, correct is 3x - 2 + 2 = 6 + 2

Answer: c. Step 3, because a number has been added only to one side of the equation.

What is a quadratic equation? And how do you solve them?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

A quadratic equation is some thing like

(x+2)^2

or

(x+2)(x+5)

In order to solve them, the most basic method is the FOIL method

F-First

O-Outside

I-Inner

L-Last

So for example

(x+2)^2

Which is basically

(x+2)(x+2)

So the first is the 2 Xs

(x+2)(x+2)

x*x=x^2

The outer is the x and the 2,

(x+2)(x+2)

2*x=2x

Now the Inner which is the 2 and the x

(x+2)(x+2)

2*x=2x

And finally the last  which is the 2 and the second 2

(x+2)(x+2)

2*2=4

Now add them all up

X^2+2x+2x+4

Combine like terms

x^2+4x+4

There you have it

Do the same with every other quadratic equation
