(b) What is the probability that distance exceeds the mean distance by more than 2 standard deviations?

Mathematics

Flura [38]3 years ago

Answer:

>0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

This probably refers to a normal distribution. In a normal distribution, according to the empirical rule,

68% of observed data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean

95% falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean

99.7% falls within 3 standard deviations of the mean

In this case, the observed data is distance and the average figure for all observed distances is the mean distance.

So, the probability that a/any distance observed exceeds the mean distance by more than 2 standard deviations is >95%

In other words, the probability is >0.95

If f(x)f(x) is an exponential function where f(-0.5)=27f(−0.5)=27 and f(1.5)=21f(1.5)=21, then find the value of f(0.5)f(0.5), t
vovikov84 [41]

Given:

f(x) is an exponential function.

f(-0.5)=27

f(1.5)=21

To find:

The value of f(0.5), to the nearest hundredth.

Solution:

The general exponential function is

f(x)=ab^x

For, x=-0.5,

f(-0.5)=ab^{-0.5}

27=ab^{-0.5}          ...(i)

For, x=1.5,

f(1.5)=ab^{1.5}

21=ab^{1.5}          ...(ii)

Divide (ii) by (i).

\dfrac{21}{27}=\dfrac{ab^{1.5}}{ab^{-0.5}}

\dfrac{7}{9}=b^2

Taking square root on both sides, we get

\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}=b

b\approx 0.882

Putting b=0.882 in (i), we get

27=a(0.882)^{-0.5}

27=a(1.0648)

\dfrac{27}{1.0648}=a

a\approx 25.357

Now, the required function is

f(x)=25.357(0.882)^x

Putting x=0.5, we get

f(0.5)=25.357(0.882)^{0.5}

f(0.5)=23.81399

f(0.5)\approx 23.81

Therefore, the value of f(0.5) is 23.81.
