Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally

distributed, with a mean of 4.5 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.7 mm. For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm.

(b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm.

(c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm.

Answer:

a) P(X

P(z

b) P(X>7.0)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{7-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z1.47)

P(z>1.47)=1-P(z

c)  P(3

P(-0.882

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".  

Part a

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

X \sim N(4.5,1.7)  

Where \mu=4.5 and \sigma=1.7

We are interested on this probability

P(X

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

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard table:

P(z

Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(X>3.0)

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>7.0)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{7-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z1.47)

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard table:

P(z>1.47)=1-P(z

Part c

P(3

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard table liek this:

P(-0.882

Answer:

a transformation happen when the shape changes. There are four transformations

translation

rotation

reflection

dilation

translation, rotation and reflection do not change the shape or the size of the shape and are known as rigid motions

Anderson Systems is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's NPV? Note that i
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

$265.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

WACC: 9.00%

Year 0 1 2 3 Cash flows (-$1,000) $500 $500 $500

The NPV is calculated thus :

Initial cashflow + Σ additional cash flows / (1 + r)

Rate, r = 9% = 0.09

(1 + r) = (1 + 0.09) = 1.09

NPV = - 1000 + (500 / (1.09)¹ + (500 / 1.09)² + (500 / (1.09)³

NPV = - 1000 + 458.71559 + 420.83999 + 386.09174

NPV = 265.64732

NPV = 265.65 (2 DECIMAL PLACES)

Consider the following.
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Anything in the form x = pi+k*pi, for any integer k

These are not removable discontinuities.

============================================================

Explanation:

Recall that tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x).

The discontinuities occur whenever cos(x) is equal to zero.

Solving cos(x) = 0 will yield the locations when we have discontinuities.

This all applies to tan(x), but we want to work with tan(x/2) instead.

Simply replace x with x/2 and solve for x like so

cos(x/2) = 0

x/2 = arccos(0)

x/2 = (pi/2) + 2pi*k or x/2 = (-pi/2) + 2pi*k

x = pi + 4pi*k   or    x = -pi + 4pi*k

Where k is any integer.

If we make a table of some example k values, then we'll find that we could get the following outputs:

  • x = -3pi
  • x = -pi
  • x = pi
  • x = 3pi
  • x = 5pi

and so on. These are the odd multiples of pi.

So we can effectively condense those x equations into the single equation x = pi+k*pi

That equation is the same as x = (k+1)pi

The graph is below. It shows we have jump discontinuities. These are <u>not</u> removable discontinuities (since we're not removing a single point).
