Answer:

a) P(4S^2 > 4*9.1) = P(\chi^2_{24} >36.4) = 0.0502

b)P(13.848Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

For this case we assume that the sample variance is given by S^2 and we select a random sample of size n from a normal population with a population variance \sigma^2. And we define the following statistic:

T = \frac{(n-1) S^2}{\sigma^2}

And the distribution for this statistic is T \sim \chi^2_{n-1}

For this case we know that n =25 and \sigma^2 = 6 so then our statistic would be given by:

\chi^2 = \frac{(n-1)S^2}{\sigma^2}=\frac{24 S^2}{6}= 4S^2

With 25-1 =24 degrees of freedom.

Solution to the problem

Part a

For this case we want this probability:

P(S^2 > 9.1)

And we can multiply the inequality by 4 on both sides and we got:

P(4S^2 > 4*9.1) = P(\chi^2_{24} >36.4) = 0.0502

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=1-CHISQ.DIST(36.4,24,TRUE)"

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(3.462 < S^2

If we multiply the inequality by 4 on all the terms we got:

P(3.462*4 < 4S^2 < 4*10.745)= P(13.848< \chi^2And we can find this probability like this:P(13.848And we use the following code to find the answer in excel: "=CHISQ.DIST(42.98,24,TRUE)-CHISQ.DIST(13.848,24,TRUE)"

Suppose you are determining the growth rate of two species of plants. Species A is 25 cm tall and grows 3 cm per month. Species
jarptica [38.1K]
If the growth rate is a constant, we can model it using a linear equation:

y = b + ax

where b = initial value, a = growth rate.
In this case, x = m = number of months.

Let's find the equation for the growth of each species.

Species A:
Initial height = b = 25 cm
Growth rate = a = 3 cm per month
So its height can be modeled by H(m) = 25 + 3m

Species B:
Initial height = b = 10 cm
Growth rate = a = 8 cm per month
So its height can be modeled by H(m) = 10 + 8m

Thus the answer is A: H(m) = 25 + 3m and B: H(m) = 10 + 8m.

If a fair coin is flipped 140 times, how many times would you predict that the coin lands on heads?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

70 times

Step-by-step explanation:

There is always a 50-50 chance on which side the coin can land, so on average, the coin lands 70 times on tales, and 70 times on heads.

the first term of an arthimetic sequence is 42 the rule an= an-1 +8 can 1 can be used explain how to write explict rules
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

34 + 8n

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ = 42

a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 8

a₂ = a₁ + 8    = 42 + 8   = 50

a₃ = a₂ + 8   = 50 + 8 = 58

a₄ = a₃ + 8 =   58 + 8  = 66

Arithmetic sequence: 42, 50 , 58 , 66, ......

a₁ = 42 ; d = 8

a_{n} = a₁ + d(n-1)

    = 42 + 8(n - 1)

    = 42 + 8n - 8

   = 34 + 8n

a city stores fresh water in a spherical tank. The tank has a radius of 32 feet. One cubic foot is approximately 7.5 gallons. If
Serjik [45]
Answer: There will be about 888,915 gallons of water left in the spherical tank.

First, we need to determine the volume of the tank. The volume formula for a sphere is (4/3)pi(r^3). All we have to do is input the 32 for pi and evaluate. You will have a volume of 137,189 cubic feet.

Now, multiply that by 7.5 and you will have 1,028,915 gallons of water in the tank.

Finally, just subtract the 140,000 gallons and we are at our answer.
