Shelia's measured glucose level one hour after a sugary drink varies according to the normal distribution with μ = 117 mg/dl and

σ = 10.6 mg/dl. What is the level L such that there is probability only 0.01 that the mean glucose level of 6 test results falls above L ? Give your answer precise to one decimal place.

Answer:

The level L such that there is probability only 0.01 that the mean glucose level of 6 test results falls above L is L = 127.1 mg/dl.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

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.

Central limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 117, \sigma = 10.6, n = 6, s = \frac{10.6}{\sqrt{6}} = 4.33

What is the level L such that there is probability only 0.01 that the mean glucose level of 6 test results falls above L ?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.01 = 0.99. So X when Z = 2.33.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

2.33 = \frac{X - 117}{4.33}

X - 117 = 2.33*4.33

X = 127.1

The level L such that there is probability only 0.01 that the mean glucose level of 6 test results falls above L is L = 127.1 mg/dl.

If 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90° and cosθ = 11/15 , what is the value of sin (90° - θ)?
igor_vitrenko [27]
11/15=0.7333
cos^{-1}(0.7333) =42.83342
sin(90-47.166572) = 0.7333

first, find the numeric value for 11/15
second to find theta, simply do the <em>inverse</em> cos (which is cos^-1) of the first answer.
now you know theta, just do the sin of 90 - theta and that's it!

since you know whatr cos(theta) is, you just take the inverse cos of that number to get theta and 'reverse' cos, essentially. you are just solving for theta, by reversing the cos function with cos^-1
