Answer:

a)

The proportion of contracts involved at most five bidders is 0.667.

The proportion of contracts involved at least five bidders is 0.51.

b)

The  proportion of contracts involved  between five and 10 inclusive bidders is 0.5.

The  proportion of contracts involved  strictly between five and 10 bidders is 0.304.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. bidders    No. contracts     Relative frequency of contracts

2                         6                       6/102=0.0588

3                         20                     20/102=0.1961

4                         24                     24/102=0.2353

5                         18                       18/102=0.1765

6                         13                        13/102=0.1275

7                          7                          7/102=0.0686

8                          5                          5/102=0.049

9                          6                          6/102=0.0588

10                         2                           2/102=0.0196

11                          1                            1/102=0.0098

Total                  102

a)

We have to find proportion of contracts involved at most five bidders.

Proportion of at most 5= Relative frequency 2+ Relative frequency 3+ Relative frequency 4+ Relative frequency 5

Proportion of at most 5=0.0588+ 0.1961+0.2353+0.1765

Proportion of at most 5=0.6667

The proportion of contracts involved at most five bidders is 0.667.

proportion of at least five bidders= proportion≥5= 1- proportion less than 5

Proportion less than 5=0.0588+ 0.1961+0.2353=0.4902

proportion of at least five bidders=1-0.4902=0.5098

The proportion of contracts involved at least five bidders is 0.51

b)

We have to find proportion of contracts involved  between five and 10 inclusive bidders.

Proportion of contracts between five and 10 inclusive= Relative frequency 5+ Relative frequency 6+ Relative frequency 7+ Relative frequency 8+ Relative frequency 9+ Relative frequency 10

Proportion of between five and 10 inclusive=0.1765 +0.1275 +0.0686 +0.049 +0.0588 +0.0196

Proportion of between five and 10 inclusive=0.5

The  proportion of contracts involved  between five and 10 inclusive bidders is 0.5

We have to find proportion of contracts involved  strictly between five and 10 bidders.

Proportion of contracts strictly between five and 10=  Relative frequency 6+ Relative frequency 7+ Relative frequency 8+ Relative frequency 9

Proportion of strictly between five and 10=0.1275 +0.0686 +0.049 +0.0588

Proportion of strictly between five and 10=0.3039

The  proportion of contracts involved  strictly between five and 10 bidders is 0.304.

If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation
zheka24 [161]

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation: The number that is added to both sides is the number that is needed to create a perfect square trinomial.

The question is, what is that number?

Well, it comes from a formula. The number that is added to both sides always comes from half the coefficient of the middle term squared.

So half of -10 squared or -5 squared which is 25.

So 25 is added to both sides.

Let X denote the number of flaws along a 100-m reel of magnetic tape (an integer-valued variable). Suppose Zdenote the number of
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

a) P(20 \leq X \leq 30) = P(20-0.5 \leq X \leq 30+0.5)

P(19.5 \leq X \leq 30.5) = P(\frac{19.5-25}{5} \leq Z \leq \frac{30.5 -25}{5})=P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)

And we can find this probability like this:

P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)= P(Z\leq 1.1) -P(Z\leq -1.1) = 0.864-0.136= 0.728

b) P(X \leq 30)= P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

c) P(X

And if we use the continuity correction we got:

P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Continuity correction means that we need to add and subtract 0.5 before standardizing the value specified.

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(25,5)  

Where \mu=25 and \sigma=5

Part a

For this case we want to find this probability:

P(20 \leq X \leq 30) = P(20-0.5 \leq X \leq 30+0.5)

And if we use the z score given by:

z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We got this:

P(19.5 \leq X \leq 30.5) = P(\frac{19.5-25}{5} \leq Z \leq \frac{30.5 -25}{5})=P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)

And we can find this probability like this:

P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)= P(Z\leq 1.1) -P(Z\leq -1.1) = 0.864-0.136= 0.728

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \leq 30)

And if we use the continuity correction we got:

P(X \leq 30)= P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X

And if we use the continuity correction we got:

P(X
