For an intramural sports program at a particular college, the time to run one mile is recorded for 200 male students in the prog

ram. These times are approximately normal with mean 8 minutes and standard deviation 1 minute. For the same intramural sports program at the same college, the time to run one mile is recorded for 50 female students in the program. These times are approximately normal with mean 7.5 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes. Devon participates in the intramural program for men. His best time to run the mile is 6.6 minutes. Kendall participates in the intramural program for women. Her best time to run the mile is 5.7 minutes. Who ran the mile faster relative to their gender?

Answer:

Devon has the lower z-score, so he was faster relative to his gender.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z - score

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Who ran the mile faster relative to their gender?

Who runs in less time the mile is faster, so whoever has the lower z-score is faster relative to their gender.

Devon participates in the intramural program for men. His best time to run the mile is 6.6 minutes.

For men, these times are approximately normal with mean 8 minutes and standard deviation 1 minute.

So we have to find Z when X = 6.6, \mu = 8, \sigma = 1

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{6.6 - 8}{1}

Z = -1.4

Kendall participates in the intramural program for women. Her best time to run the mile is 5.7 minutes.

For women, these times are approximately normal with mean 7.5 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes.

So we have to find Z when X = 5.7, \mu = 7.5, \sigma = 2

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5.7 - 7.5}{2}

Z = -0.9

Devon has the lower z-score, so he was faster relative to his gender.

Adjust the equation so the line passes through the points. Y=x+1
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Slope=  

2.000

2.000

​  

=1.000

x−intercept=  

−1

1

​  

=−1.00000

y−intercept=  

1

1

​  

=1.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    y-(x+1)=0

Equation of a Straight Line

1.1     Solve   y-x-1  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  y-x-1  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

 

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 1/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 1.00000

 y-intercept = 1/1  =  1.00000  

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 1/-1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=-1.00000

 x-intercept = 1/-1  = -1.00000  

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 1.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 3.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 3.000 - 1.000 = 2.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  2.000/2.000 =  1.000  

Geometric figure: Straight Line

1.  Slope = 2.000/2.000 = 1.000

2. x-intercept = 1/-1 = -1.00000

3.  y-intercept = 1/1 = 1.00000

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:d. uniformly distributed variable

Step-by-step explanation:Uniform Distribution Definition- in statistics , this mean an outcome is equally likely each variable has an equal or same probability to appear in an outcome.

For example in a deck of cards ,they are uniformly distributed which means the likelihood of drawing a club, a diamond , and a heart is the same.

When we see the percentage of how these students are distributed in art college and business college it is likely that one obtains a uniform distributed results.

What is the product of 4 x 2/3
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

A good thing to understand is that when a whole number and a fraction are multiplied, the method is the same as multiplying 2 fractions. What that means is make the whole number into the numerator of a fraction and put a 1 where the denominator should be.

Solution

4/1 * 2/3 = 4*2 / 1 * 3 = 8/3

Write the exact value solution and an approximation for 10^4x=25
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

exact value: x= \frac{log25}{4}

approximate: x=0.349485

Step-by-step explanation:

Exact Value:

10^{4x} = 25

log (10^{4x})= log 25

4x = log 25

x= \frac{log25}{4}

Approximate:

x= \frac{log25}{4}

x=1.39794/4\\

x=0.349485
