Answer:
μ=23.710740....
σ=3.592592....
Step-by-step explanation:
At first, we are told that it´s a normal distribution and the following:
P(x≤15.34)=0.1
P(x≤16.31)=0.2
We start looking for those values (0.1 and 0.2) and the probabilities that gives us those values in a normal standard distribution. There´s some tools that´ll help us out but i´ll be using a chart with the values of some probabilities in a normal standard distribution (That it´s attached).
The probability of P(z≤ a.b) where "a" is the whole part of a number and "b" the decimal part is in the coordinates (a,b). For example for our problem:
P(z≤-2.33)=0.099≈0.1
P(z≤-2.06)=0.197≈0.2
To find a probability of a normal (not standard) distribution we use a method called Normalize that proceeds:
P(x≤a)=P( (x-μ)/σ ≤ (a-μ)/σ )
Where μ is the Mean of the data and σ is the Standard deviation. P( (x-μ)/σ ≤ (a-μ)/σ ) is now part of a normal standard distribution and we are able to look for it in the chart.
We will use it to find the Mean and the STD for our distribution.
P(x≤15.34)=P(z≤-2.33)≈0.1
P(x≤16.31)=P(z≤-2.06)≈0.2
so we have the equations:
(15.34 - μ)/σ= -2.33 and (16.31 - μ)/σ= -2.06
And we solve them for μ and σ:
(15.34 - μ)/-2.33= σ and (16.31 - μ)/-2.06= σ
(15.34 - μ)/-2.33 = (16.31 - μ)/-2.06
2.06*(15.34 - μ) = 2.33(16.31 - μ)
2.33μ - 2.06μ = 2.33(16.31) - 2.06(15.34)
μ= 6.4019 / 0.27
μ= 23.710740...
With this value we find σ in one equation:
(15.34 - (23.710740...)/σ = -2.33
(15.34 - (23.710740...)/-2.33 = σ
σ=3.592592...
We finally have our answers:
μ=23.710740....
σ=3.592592....
Answer:
(a) Local Maximum (x,y) = (0,12)
Local Minimum (x,y) = (-9,6) (smaller x-value)
Local Minimum (x,y) = (6,3) (Larger x-value)
(b) Increasing =
Decreasing =
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Local Maximum: The function gives maximum value in small neighborhood.
From the given graph it is clear that the maximum value of the function is 12 at x=0. So,
Local Maximum (x,y) = (0,12)
Local Minimum: The function gives minimum value in small neighborhood.
It is clear that the minimum value of the function is -6 and 3 at x=-9 and x=6. So,
Local Minimum (x,y) = (-9,6) (smaller x-value)
Local Minimum (x,y) = (6,3) (Larger x-value)
(b)
The function is increasing on -9<x<0 and after 6.
Increasing =
The function is decreasing on 0<x<6 and before -9.
Decreasing =
