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

In order to answer this one, it's really really really really helpful if you know what the law of cosines says. In fact it's absolutely necessary. The law of cosines says if you know two sides of a triangle and the angle between them then you can use that information to find the length of the third side. In the picture you know the lengths of two sides and you know the angle between them. So you can use the law of cosines to find the length of the third sidethat. That's side AC.
