The wildlife department has been feeding a special food to rainbow trout fingerlings. Based on a large number of observations, t

he weight of the trout are normally distributed with a mean of 402.7 grams and a standard deviation of 8.8 grams. What is the probability that the mean weight for a sample of 40 trout exceeds 405.5 grams?

Answer: 0.0222

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The wildlife department has been feeding a special food to rainbow trout fingerlings.

Based on a large number of observations, the weight of the trout are normally distributed with

Mean : \mu=402.7\text{ grams}

Standard deviation : \sigma=8.8\text{ grams}

Sample size : = 40

Let x be the random variable that represents the weight of the trout .

Z-score : z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

For x=405.5 grams

z=\dfrac{405.5-402.7}{\dfrac{8.8}{\sqrt{40}}}\approx2.01

By using standard normal distribution table , the probability that the mean weight for a sample of 40 trout exceeds 405.5 grams :-

P(405.52.01)=1-P(z

A football is thrown from the stadium. The height of this football can be represented by the polynomial -16t2 +32t + 20, where t
olasank [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

related equation

-16t^2 + 32t + 20 = 0

-4t^2 + 8t + 5 = 0

Δ/4 = 16 + 20 = 36

t1 = (-4 + 6)/-4 = -1/2

t2 = (-4 - 6)/-4 = 5/2

-16(t+1/2)(t-5/2)

-16(2t+1/2)(2t-5/2)

-4(2t+1)(2t-5)

Giovanni and Jean started a 120-mile bicycle race at the same time. Giovanni cycled at 23.9 miles per hour while Jean cycled at
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Giovanni was 0.5 miles from the finish line

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of movement with constant velocity.

For this kind of problems, generally it is enough to remember the definition of average velocity v:

v=\frac{x}{t}

Where x is the change in position that took place in an interval t.

First, find the time that Jean, who cycled at 24 miles per hour, spent on the race:

Isolating t from the last equation,

t=\frac{x}{v}, and replacing the data for Jean movement:

t=\frac{120}{24}=5h

Second, find what was the distance that Giovanni had cycled when Jean crossed the line:

x=v*t\\ x=23.9*5=119.5

When Jean crossed the line he had cycled 120 miles, and Giovanni 119.5; so Giovanni was 0.5 miles from the finish line.
