Assume that blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 8. If 100 people are

randomly selected, find the probability that their mean blood pressure will be greater than 122.

Answer:

0.0062

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable blood pressure.The information we are given are

mean blood pressure=μx=120

standard deviation blood pressure=σx=8

we have to find P(mean bp>122)=P(xbar>122).

P(Xbar>122)=P(xbar-μxbar/σxbar>122-μxbar/σxbar)=P(Z>122-μxbar/σxbar)

Now, we have to find μxbar and σxbar. We know that

μxbar=μx

σxbar=σx/sqrt(n).

So, μxbar=μx=120

σxbar=σx/sqrt(n)=8/sqrt(100)=0.8

P(Xbar>122)=P(Z>122-120/0.8)=P(Z>2.5)=P(0<z<∞)-P(0<z<2.5)

From normal distribution table P(0<z<2.5)=0.4938 and we know that P(0<z<∞)=0.5. So,

P(Xbar>122)=0.5-0.4938=0.0062

There is 0.62% chance that the mean blood pressure of 100 people will be greater than 122

What are the roots of the function y = 4x2 + 2x – 30? To find the roots of the function, set y = 0. The equation is 0 = 4x2 + 2x
nasty-shy [4]
4x² + 2x - 30 = 0
<span>
factor out the GCF:
</span>2(2x² + x - 15) = 0
<span>
factor the trinomial completely:
2x</span>² + x - 15 = 0
2x² + 6x - 5x - 15 = 0
2x(x + 3) - 5(x + 3) = 0
(2x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

<span>use the zero product property and set each factor equal to zero and solve:
2x - 5 = 0     or     x + 3 = 0
2x = 5                   x = -3
x = 2.5

</span><span>The roots of the function are x=-3,  x=2.5</span>

The question that follows this graph is:
azamat

Answer:

S'(5,-1), M'(1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, if the rotation is clockwise, the formula is (x,y)--->(-x,-y).

The original points are, (-1,3) and (-5,1).

Using the formula,

(-1,3) ----> (1,-3)

(-5,1) ----> (5,-1)

For the question in the image, the reflection over the x-axis is..

S'(-5,1) ---> (-5,-1)

M'(1,-3) ---> (-1,-3)

How do you simplify 14/24
Bond [772]

Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplification is something we can do if both the numerator and denominator are divisible by the same number.

In 14/24, both numbers are divisible by 2.

So, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 2. We get 7/12.

Therefore 14/24 = 7/12.
