Answer:

the probability that the sample variance exceeds 3.10 is 0.02020 ( 2,02%)

Step-by-step explanation:

since the variance  S² of the batch follows a normal distribution , then for a sample n of  20 distributions , then the random variable Z:

Z= S²*(n-1)/σ²

follows a χ² ( chi-squared) distribution with (n-1) degrees of freedom

since

S² > 3.10 , σ²= 1.75 , n= 20

thus

Z > 33.65

then from χ² distribution tables:

P(Z > 33.65) = 0.02020

therefore the probability that the sample variance exceeds 3.10 is 0.02020 ( 2,02%)

Answer:

P(s^2 >3.10) =P(\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\sigma^2}>\frac{19*3.10}{1.75})

P(chi^2_{19}>33.657)=1-P(\chi^2_{19]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

Data given and notation

For this case we can use the fact that the estimator of the population variance \sigma is the sample variance s^2, because E(s^2)=\sigma^2

The proof is this one:

Since E(\chi^2) = n-1 and

\chi^2 =\frac{(n-1) s^2}{\sigma^2}

When we take the expected value we got:

E[\frac{(n-1) s^2}{\sigma^2}]= n-1

E[s^2]=\frac{n-1}{n-1}\sigma^2

E[s^2]=\sigma^2

We have the distribution on this case given chi square.

Solution to the problem

The degrees of freddom on this case are given by

df=n-1=20-1=19

On this case we want this probability:

P(s^2 >3.10) =P(\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\sigma^2}>\frac{19*3.10}{1.75})

P(chi^2_{19}>33.657)=1-P(\chi^2_{19}

And we can use excel to find the probability with the following code:"=1-CHISQ.DIST(33.657,19,TRUE) "

Sidana [21]

Answer:

x2-5x-8=0  

Step-by-step explanation:

Two solutions were found :

x =(5-√57)/2=-1.275

x =(5+√57)/2= 6.275

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "x2"   was replaced by   "x^2".  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1     Factoring  x2-5x-8  

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -5x  its coefficient is  -5 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -8  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -8 = -8  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -8  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -5 .

    -8 + 1 = -7  

    -4+  2 = -2  

    -2+  4 = 2  

    -1 +   8 = 7

In a school 40% are boys and 900 are girls. find the total number of students of the school and the number of boys
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

1500 students

600 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

40% are boys, so 60% are girls.

Writing a proportion:

900 / 60% = x / 100%

x = 1500

There are 1500 students in the school, which means there are 600 boys in the school.

1) Gena’s new outfit originally cost $75. She received 20% off. How much did Gena’s outfit cost?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

1. $60

2. 600 Calories were burned

3. D

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $75 x .20=$15

75-15=$60

2. What I started with is 200/40=5 calories burned per min

60 plus 60=120

5x120=600

3. It's the only option that has something decreasing. and there is a -5 which means it's getting subtracted or its decreasing.
