To decrease the impact on the environment, factory chimneys must be high enough to allow pollutants to dissipate over a larger a

rea. Assume the mean height of chimneys in these factories is 10D meters (an EPA-acceptable height) with a standard deviation 12 meters. A random sample of 40 chimney heights is obtained. What is the probability that the sample mean height for the 40 chimneys is greater than 102 meters?

Answer:

The probability hat the sample mean height for the 40 chimneys is greater than 102 meters is 0.1469.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> be defined as the height of chimneys in factories.

The mean height is, <em>μ</em> = 100 meters.

The standard deviation of heights is, <em>σ</em> = 12 meters.

It is provided that a random sample of <em>n</em> = 40 chimney heights is obtained.

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have an unknown population with mean <em>μ</em> and standard deviation <em>σ</em> and appropriately huge random samples (<em>n</em> > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the distribution of sample means is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu

And the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Since the sample selected is quite large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 40 > 30, the central limit theorem can be used to approximate the sampling distribution of sample mean heights of chimneys.

\bar X\sim N(\mu_{\bar x},\ \sigma^{2}_{\bar x})

Compute the probability hat the sample mean height for the 40 chimneys is greater than 102 meters as follows:

P(\bar X>102)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}})>\frac{102-100}{12/\sqrt{40}})

                    =P(Z>1.05)\\=1-P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table fr the probability.

Thus, the probability hat the sample mean height for the 40 chimneys is greater than 102 meters is 0.1469.

The cost in dollars of making x items is given by the function C(x)=10x+900 .
Stella [2.4K]

For the given cost equation we have:

a) Fixed cost is $900.

b) For making 25 items the cost is $1150.

c) D: x ∈ [0, 150]

   R: c ∈ [900, 2400]

<h3>Working with the cost equation.</h3>

Here we know that the cost equation is:

c(x) = 10*x + 900.

First, we want to get the fixed cost, it is given by evaluating the function in x = 0.

c(0) = 10*0 + 900 = 900

The fixed cost is 900.

b) Now we want to get the cost for making 25 items, to get this, we just evaluate in x = 25.

c(25) = 10*25 + 900 = 250 + 900 = 1150

c) Now, if the maximum cost is 2400, then the maximum number of items that we can make is x₀, such that:

c( x₀) = 2400 = 10*x₀ + 900

Solving for x₀ we get:

x₀ = (2400 - 900)/10 = 150

Now we want to get the range and domain.

We know that we can make between 0 and 150 items, so the domain is:

D: x ∈ [0, 150]

For the range, we know that the fixed cost for 0 items is 900, and the maximum cost is 2400, then the range is:

R: c ∈ [900, 2400]

The population of bacteria in a petri dish doubles every 24 h. The population of the bacteria is initially 500 organisms. How lo
liberstina [14]

Answer:

16.34 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information we can see that the case is of exponential growth

Hence, we will use the formula

A=P(2)^\frac{t}{24}

Here A =800 is the amount that is needed to reach

P is the initial amount that is 500

We have to find the time it will take to reach 800 that is we need to find t

On substituting the values in the formula we get

800=500(2)^\frac{t}{24}

On simplification we get

\Rightarrow\frac{8}{5}=(2)^\frac{t}{24}

Taking log on both sides we get

\Rightarrow\log\frac{8}{5}=\log(2)^\frac{t}{24}

using \log\frac{m}{n}=\log m-\log n

And \log a^m=m\log a

\Rightarrow\log{8}-\log{5}=\frac{t}{24}\log2

Now substituting values of log 8=0.903, log 5=0.698 and log 2=0.301 we get

\Rightarrow 0.903-0.698=\frac{t}{24}0.301

\Rightarrow 0.205=\frac{t}{24}0.301

\Rightarrow \frac{0.205}{0.301}\cdot 24=t

\Rightarrow t=16.34
