The port of South Louisiana, located along 54 miles of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is the largest
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) 0.7287

b) 0.9663

c) 0.237

d) 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ =  4.5 million tons of cargo per week

Standard Deviation, σ = 0 .82 million tons

We are given that the distribution of number of tons of cargo handled per week is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P( port handles less than 5 million tons of cargo per week)

P(x < 5)

P( x < 5) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{5 - 4.5}{0.82}) = P(z < 0.609)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < 5) =0.7287= 72.87\%

b) P( port handles 3 or more million tons of cargo per week)

P(x \geq 3) = P(z \geq \displaystyle\frac{3-4.5}{0.82}) = P(z \geq −1.82926)\\\\P( z \geq −1.82926) = 1 - P(z < -1.829)

Calculating the value from the standard normal table we have,

1 - 0.0337 = 0.9663 = 96.63\%\\P( x \geq 3) = 96.63\%

c)P( port handles between 3 million and 4 million tons of cargo per week)

P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = P(\displaystyle\frac{3 - 4.5}{0.82} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{4-4.5}{0.82}) = P(-1.829 \leq z \leq -0.609)\\\\= P(z \leq -0.609) - P(z < -1.829)\\= 0.271-0.034 = 0.237= 23.7\%

P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = 23.7\%

d) P(X=x) = 0.85

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.85.

P(X > x)  

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.85  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.85  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.15  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P( z \leq -1.036) = 0.15

\displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82} = -1.036\\x = 3.65

Thus, 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.

Answer:  The pattern is x^2+2

where x is the term number

Example: the 5th term is 27 because x = 5 leads to x^2+2 = 5^2+2 = 27

=================================================

Explanation:

  • The jump from 3 to 6 is +3
  • The jump from 6 to 11 is +5
  • The jump from 11 to 18 is +7
  • The jump from 18 to 27 is +9
  • The jump from 27 to 38 is +11

The pattern of jumps is: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11

Those increments are going up by 2 each time.

Since we have a consistent pattern of increments, this means that the sequence follows a quadratic model.

Quadratics are stuff like x^2+7x+10 or 3x^2-7. The leading term has an exponent of 2.

-----------

If x is the term number and y is the term itself, then we have these points

(1,3)

(2,6)

(3,11)

(4,18)

(5,27)

(6,38)

The x coordinates increase by 1 each time. The y coordinates are the terms given by your teacher.

Pick exactly 3 of those points. I'll pick the first 3.

Why 3? Because we'll have 3 unknowns to solve for, in which we'll need 3 equations.

  • Plug (x,y) = (1,3) into y = ax^2+bx+c, then simplify. You should get the equation a+b+c = 3
  • Repeat for (x,y) = (2,6) and you should get 4a+2b+c = 6
  • Repeat for (x,y) = (3,11) and you should get 9a+3b+c = 11

-----------

We have this system of equations

\begin{cases}a+b+c = 3\\ 4a+2b+c = 6\\9a+3b+c = 11\end{cases}

There are a number of methods to solve this system. Substitution is what I'll go for.

Solve the first equation for c

a+b+c = 3

c = 3-a-b

Then use substitution.

4a+2b+c = 6

4a+2b+(3-a-b) = 6

3a+b+3 = 6

3a+b = 6-3

3a+b = 3

and

9a+3b+c = 11

9a+3b+(3-a-b) = 11

8a+2b + 3 = 11

8a+2b = 11-3

8a+2b = 8

We now have this reduced system of equations.

\begin{cases}3a+b = 3\\8a+2b = 8\end{cases}

I'll skip the steps as this solution is getting very lengthy as it is. The basic idea is to use substitution again. You should find that a = 1 and b = 0 form the solution set here.

Use those values to find c

c = 3-a-b

c = 3-1-0

c = 2

-----------

To summarize the previous section, we have these solutions:

a = 1, b = 0, c = 2

Therefore the equation y = ax^2+bx+c becomes y = 1x^2+0x+2 aka y = x^2+2. This lets us find any term.

Let's test it out.

  • If x = 1, then y = x^2+2 = 1^2+2 = 3
  • If x = 2, then y = x^2+2 = 2^2+2 = 6
  • If x = 3, then y = x^2+2 = 3^2+2 = 11

And so on. I'll let you test the other x values (4 through 6).

Another way to confirm the answer is to subtract 2 from each item in the original set {3,6,11,18,27,38} and you'll end up with {1,4,9,16,25,36}. This is the list of perfect squares. It shows that term x is simply x^2 but add on 2 so things are adjusted accordingly.

Side note: you can use a tool like GeoGebra or WolframAlpha to quickly solve the system of equations. However, I recommend it only as a means to check your answer rather than do the work for you.

How would I finish solving this?
Zarrin [17]
Hello!

The original equation is:

200 = (5w ÷ 2)8

This problem can be written as:

200 = (5w/2)8

And you can then reduce the numbers with 2:

200 = 5x * 4
200 = 20x
10 = x

Your correct answer is 10.
