Does the relation {(5,-2), (5,-8), (4,-6), (7,-1)} represent a function?

Sergio [31]

Answer:

no, it does not

Step-by-step explanation:

if it was a function, all the x values would've been different, but since 5 is repeated, it is not a function.

The number of chocolate chips in a bag of chocolate chip cookies is approximately normally distributed with mean of 1262 and a s

Andrew [12]

Answer:

a) 1186

b) Between 1031 and 1493.

c) 160

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normally distributed with mean of 1262 and a standard deviation of 118.

This means that $\mu = 1262, \sigma = 118$

a) Determine the 26th percentile for the number of chocolate chips in a bag. 

This is X when Z has a p-value of 0.26, so X when Z = -0.643.

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

$-0.643 = \frac{X - 1262}{118}$

$X - 1262 = -0.643*118$

$X = 1186$

(b) Determine the number of chocolate chips in a bag that make up the middle 95% of bags.

Between the 50 - (95/2) = 2.5th percentile and the 50 + (95/2) = 97.5th percentile.

2.5th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.025, so X when Z = -1.96.

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

$-1.96 = \frac{X - 1262}{118}$

$X - 1262 = -1.96*118$

$X = 1031$

97.5th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.975, so X when Z = 1.96.

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

$1.96 = \frac{X - 1262}{118}$

$X - 1262 = 1.96*118$

$X = 1493$

Between 1031 and 1493.

(c) What is the interquartile range of the number of chocolate chips in a bag of chocolate chip cookies?

Difference between the 75th percentile and the 25th percentile.

25th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675.

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

$-0.675 = \frac{X - 1262}{118}$

$X - 1262 = -0.675*118$

$X = 1182$

75th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.75, so X when Z = 0.675.

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

$0.675 = \frac{X - 1262}{118}$

$X - 1262 = 0.675*118$

$X = 1342$

IQR:

1342 - 1182 = 160

Maths functions question

yarga [219]

Answer:

a) OA = 1 unit

b) OB = 3 units

c) AB = √10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function</u>:

$g(x)=2^x$

Point A is the y-intercept of the exponential curve (so when x = 0).

To find the y-value of Point A, substitute x = 0 into the function:

$\implies g(0)=2^0=1$

Therefore, A (0, 1) so OA = 1 unit.

If BC = 8 units then the y-value of Point C is 8.

The find the x-value of Point C, set the function to 8 and solve for x:

$\begin{aligned}f(x) & = 8 \\\implies 2^x & = 8\\2^x & = 2^3\\\implies x &= 3\end{aligned}$

Therefore, C (3, 8) so Point B is (3, 0). Therefore, OB = 3 units.

From parts (a) and (b):

A = (0, 1)
B = (3, 0)

To find the length of AB, use the distance between two points formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$\textsf{where }(x_1,y_1) \textsf{ and }(x_2,y_2)\:\textsf{are the two points.}$

Therefore:

$\implies \sf AB=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}$

$\implies \sf AB=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(0-1)^2}$

$\implies \sf AB=\sqrt{(3)^2+(-1)^2}$

$\implies \sf AB=\sqrt{9+1}$

$\implies \sf AB=\sqrt{10}\:\:units$
