Your friend invites you to go inline skating at Munson state park. you'd like to go but since you don't have skates or a helmet

you'll have to rent them. You'll also have to pay for a park permit. Write a formula that will help you determine your total cost. lets let
helmet rental=h
skate rental=s
park permit=d
total cost=c

C=hx+sx+d

It's basically a spinoff of the y=mx+b formula except there are two x's in case you don't know exactly how many to buy or else you'd literally just add them all together. I hope this helps and gives you a better idea on how to solve it.

|-4w+2|=14<br> the bars mean absolute value

Pie

Answer:

If you are looking for what w equals, the w would equal 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You would take the absolute value which is how far away a value is from zero.

So you would get 4w+2=14

Then you would bring the positive 2 to the other side making it negative

now we have 4w=14-2 which is the same as 4w=12

and then, you would divide 12 by 4 and then you would get 3

so

w=3

The amount of pollutants that are found in waterways near large cities is normally distributed with mean 8.6 ppm and standard de

Setler79 [48]

We assume that question b is asking for the distribution of $\\ \overline{x}$ , that is, the distribution for the average amount of pollutants.

Answer:

a. The distribution of X is a normal distribution $\\ X \sim N(8.6, 1.3)$ .

b. The distribution for the average amount of pollutants is $\\ \overline{X} \sim N(8.6, \frac{1.3}{\sqrt{38}})$ .

c. $\\ P(z>-0.08) = 0.5319$ .

d. $\\ P(z>-0.47) = 0.6808$ .

e. We do not need to assume that the distribution from we take the sample is normal. We already know that the distribution for X is normally distributed. Moreover, the distribution for $\\ \overline{X}$ is also normal because <em>the sample was taken from a normal distribution</em>.

f. $\\ IQR = 0.2868$ ppm. $\\ Q1 = 8.4566$ ppm and $\\ Q3 = 8.7434$ ppm.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have all this information from the question:

The random variable here, X, is the number of pollutants that are found in waterways near large cities.
This variable is <em>normally distributed</em>, with parameters:
$\\ \mu = 8.6$ ppm.
$\\ \sigma = 1.3$ ppm.
There is a sample of size, $\\ n = 38$ taken from this normal distribution.

a. What is the distribution of X?

The distribution of X is the normal (or Gaussian) distribution. X (uppercase) is the random variable, and follows a normal distribution with $\\ \mu = 8.6$ ppm and $\\ \sigma =1.3$ ppm or $\\ X \sim N(8.6, 1.3)$ .

b. What is the distribution of $\\ \overline{x}$ ?

The distribution for $\\ \overline{x}$ is $\\ N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$ , i.e., the distribution for the sampling distribution of the means follows a normal distribution:

$\\ \overline{X} \sim N(8.6, \frac{1.3}{\sqrt{38}})$ .

c. What is the probability that one randomly selected city's waterway will have more than 8.5 ppm pollutants?

Notice that the question is asking for the random variable X (and not $\\ \overline{x}$ ). Then, we can use a <em>standardized value</em> or <em>z-score</em> so that we can consult the <em>standard normal table</em>.

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ [1]

x = 8.5 ppm and the question is about $\\ P(x>8.5)$ =?

Using [1]

$\\ z = \frac{8.5 - 8.6}{1.3}$

$\\ z = \frac{-0.1}{1.3}$

$\\ z = -0.07692 \approx -0.08$ (standard normal table has entries for two decimals places for z).

For $\\ z = -0.08$ , is $\\ P(z$ .

But, we are asked for $\\ P(z>-0.08) \approx P(x>8.5)$ .

$\\ P(z-0.08) = 1$

$\\ P(z>-0.08) = 1 - P(z$

$\\ P(z>-0.08) = 0.5319$

Thus, "the probability that one randomly selected city's waterway will have more than 8.5 ppm pollutants" is $\\ P(z>-0.08) = 0.5319$ .

d. For the 38 cities, find the probability that the average amount of pollutants is more than 8.5 ppm.

Or $\\ P(\overline{x} > 8.5)$ ppm?

This random variable follows a standardized random variable normally distributed, i.e. $\\ Z \sim N(0, 1)$ :

$\\ Z = \frac{\overline{X} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ [2]

$\\ z = \frac{\overline{8.5} - 8.6}{\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{38}}}$

$\\ z = \frac{-0.1}{0.21088}$

$\\ z = \frac{-0.1}{0.21088} \approx -0.47420 \approx -0.47$

$\\ P(z$

Again, we are asked for $\\ P(z>-0.47)$ , then

$\\ P(z>-0.47) = 1 - P(z$

$\\ P(z>-0.47) = 1 - 0.3192$

$\\ P(z>-0.47) = 0.6808$

Then, the probability that the average amount of pollutants is more than 8.5 ppm for the 38 cities is $\\ P(z>-0.47) = 0.6808$ .

e. For part d), is the assumption that the distribution is normal necessary?

For this question, we do not need to assume that the distribution from we take the sample is normal. We already know that the distribution for X is normally distributed. Moreover, the distribution for $\\ \overline{X}$ is also normal because the sample was taken from a normal distribution. Additionally, the sample size is large enough to show a bell-shaped distribution.

f. Find the IQR for the average of 38 cities.

We must find the first quartile (25th percentile), and the third quartile (75th percentile). For $\\ P(z$ , $\\ z \approx -0.68$ , then, using [2]:

$\\ -0.68 = \frac{\overline{X} - 8.6}{\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{38}}}$

$\\ (-0.68 *0.21088) + 8.6 = \overline{X}$

$\\ \overline{x} =8.4566$

$\\ Q1 = 8.4566$ ppm.

For Q3

$\\ 0.68 = \frac{\overline{X} - 8.6}{\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{38}}}$

$\\ (0.68 *0.21088) + 8.6 = \overline{X}$

$\\ \overline{x} =8.7434$

$\\ Q3 = 8.7434$ ppm.

$\\ IQR = Q3-Q1 = 8.7434 - 8.4566 = 0.2868$ ppm

Therefore, the IQR for the average of 38 cities is $\\ IQR = 0.2868$ ppm. $\\ Q1 = 8.4566$ ppm and $\\ Q3 = 8.7434$ ppm.
