Answer:

<em>About 160 people weigh more than 165 pounds. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The measured weights of 1,000 men in a certain village follow a normal distribution with a mean of 150 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds.

We know that,

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

where,

X = raw score = 165

μ = mean = 150

σ = standard deviation = 15

Putting the values,

z=\dfrac{165-150}{15}=\dfrac{15}{15}=1

Finding the value of probability for z=1, from z score table,

P(z

Hence, 84% of total men will weigh less than 165 pounds. So 16% of men will be more than 165 pounds, i.e

1000\times \dfrac{16}{100}=160

Z = (X-Mean)/SD 
<span>z1 = (165 - 150)/15 = +1 </span>
<span>z2 = (135 - 150)/15 = - 1 </span>
<span>According to the Empirical Rule 68-95-99.7 </span>
<span>Mean +/- 1SD covers 68% of the values </span>
<span>100% - 68% = 32% </span>
<span>The remaining 32% is equally distributed below z = - 1 and z = +1 </span>
<span>32%/2 = 16% 
</span>
<span>Therefore, 
</span>
<span>a) Number of men weighing more than 165 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160 </span>
<span>b) Number of men weighing less than 135 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160</span>

Paul [167]

Answer:

The claim made by the researcher lacks the validity on basis of reasons as indicated in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim made by the researcher is not valid on basis of following reasons:

  1. Interacting variables are not mapped accurately. The additional variables as the health status of the volunteers, eating and fitness habits are not considered in the consideration. This results in a in complete validation.
  2. The placebo effect is not catered accordingly. As the half of the volunteers are taking nothing, this is not the direct influence of the placebo and thus double-blinded testing for placebo effect is to be ensured in future experiments.
  3. The environmental effects are not considered as the effect under study is dependent on the environmental effects, thus the claim is biased and the generalization is not valid.

Differentiating with respect to time

Basic Power Rule:

  • f(x) = cxⁿ
  • f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<u />l = 30 \ cm\\w = l\\\frac{dl}{dt} = 2 \ cm/h\\h = 20 \ cm\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 3 \ cm/h<u />

<u />

<u>Step 2: Differentiate</u>

  1. Rewrite [VRP]:                                                                                                 V = l^2h
  2. Differentiate [Basic Power Rule]:                                                                         \frac{dV}{dt} = 2l\frac{dl}{dt} \frac{dh}{dt}

<u>Step 3: Solve for Rate</u>

  1. Substitute:                                                                                                           \frac{dV}{dt} = 2(30 \ cm)(2 \ cm/h)(3 \ cm/h)
  2. Multiply:                                                                                                               \frac{dV}{dt} = 360 \ cm^3/h

Here this tells us that our volume is decreasing (ice melting) at a rate of 360 cm³ per hour.
