Assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of u = 75.0 beats per minute and a standard devia

tion of sigma = 12.5 beats per minute. If 1 adult female is randomly​ selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is between 69 beats per minute and 81 beats per minute.

Answer:

36.88% probability that her pulse rate is between 69 beats per minute and 81 beats per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 75, \sigma = 12.5

Find the probability that her pulse rate is between 69 beats per minute and 81 beats per minute.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 81 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 69.

X = 81

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

Z = \frac{81 - 75}{12.5}

Z = 0.48

Z = 0.48 has a pvalue of 0.6844

X = 69

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

Z = \frac{69 - 75}{12.5}

Z = -0.48

Z = -0.48 has a pvalue of 0.3156

0.6844 - 0.3156 = 0.3688

36.88% probability that her pulse rate is between 69 beats per minute and 81 beats per minute.

Answer:

P(69

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.48

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".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the pulse rates of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(75,12.5)  

Where \mu=75 and \sigma=12.5

We are interested on this probability

P(69

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(69

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.48

8. complementary angles = 90°
3x+3+10x-4 = 90
13x-1 = 90
13x = 91
so x = 91/13= 7
then K = 3(7)+3 = 24°
so L = 10(7)-4 = 70-4 = 66°

9. P is three less than twice of Q
so P = 2Q-3
supplementary angles = 180°

P+Q = 180
(2Q-3)+Q = 180
3Q-3 = 180
3Q = 183
so Q = 183/3 = 61°
then P= 2(61)-3 = 122-3 = 119°

10. B is two more than three times of C so B= 3C+2
complementary angles = 90°

B+C= 90
(3C+2)+C=90
4C+2=90
4C= 88
so C= 22°
then B = 3(22)+2= 66+2 = 68°

In a football tournament, the Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets. The Wasps scored 28 more points
Elina [12.6K]

Given:

Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.

Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.

Together the three teams scored 184 points.

To find:

The required equation for this scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of points scored by the Hornets.

Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.

Bees score = 3x-9

Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.

Wasps score = x+28

Together the three teams scored 184 points.

(3x-9)+x+(x+28)=184

Therefore, the required equation is (3x-9)+x+(x+28)=184.

The lengths of the sides of a triangle or an extended ratio 7 8 and 9 the perimeter of the triangle is 48 cm what are the length
julsineya [31]

Answer:

14cm, 16 cm, 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

= a:b: c = 7:8:9

We have to find the sum of the proportion

Sum of proportion = 7 + 8 + 9

= 24

Length of side a

7/24 × 48 = 14 cm

Length of side b

8 /24 × 48 = 16cm

Length of side a

9/24 × 48 = 18 cm

What are the lengths of the sides?

The lengths of the sides of the triangle in cm are

14cm, 16 cm, 18 cm
