Answer:

a) X \sim N(9.3,1)  

b) P(X>9.2)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{9.2-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{9.2-9.3}{1})=1-P(Z

c) The value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 9.9745.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".  

2) Part a

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

X \sim N(9.3,1)  

Where \mu=9.3 and \sigma=1

3) Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(X>9.2)

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(X>9.2)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{9.2-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{9.2-9.3}{1})=1-P(Z

4) Part c

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.25   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.75 of the area on the left and 0.25 of the area on the right it's z=0.6745. On this case P(Z<0.6745)=0.75 and P(z>0.6745)=0.25

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(Z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=0.6745

And if we solve for a we got

a=9.3 +1*0.6745=9.9745

So the value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 9.9745.

Answer:

Cylinder

Step-by-step explanation:

The object has two parallel, circular, flat ends and straight sides, so it is a cylinder.

Cubes, rectangles and prisms have only flat sides.

A manager wants to test whether two normally distributed and independent populations have equal variances. the appropriate test
SSSSS [86.1K]

A manager wants to test whether two normally distributed and independent populations have equal variances. the appropriate test statistic for this test is a "F-statistics."

<h3>What is F-statistics?</h3>

An F statistic is a value obtained after performing an ANOVA test or even a regression analysis to determine whether the means of two populations differ significantly.

Some key features regarding the F-statistics are-

  • It is comparable to a T statistic from the a T-Test; a T-test would then inform you when a single result is statistically significant, whereas a F test would then tell you if a set of variables is statistically significant.
  • When determining whether your total results are significant, you must use the F statistic in conjunction with the p value. Why?
  • A significant result does not imply that all of your variables have been significant.
  • The statistic is simply comparing the cumulative influence of all the variables.

SUBTRACT 39 FROM 16 RAISED TO THE 7TH POWER, THEN MULTIPLY BY 3
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

I assume you mean 3(16^7-39)?

16^7 is 268435456

268435456-39 is 268435417

268435417 multiplied by 3 is 805306251

Hope this helped.
