Well, let's say that bananas cost $1.60 per pound. That means that at step 0 the value is 0, at step 1 the value is$1.60, at step 2 the value is $$3.20 and so on. To make a table from this we'd need two columns and four rows. On the top row we right step followed by amount. In the step column, we list the numbers 0-2. In the amount column we list 0, $1.60, and $3.20. In the end, a function table looks like this:

What is the range for the graph below?

mario62 [17]

Answer:

All real numbers except -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Range refers to numbers on the y-axis.

Domain refers to numbers on the x-axis.

Both of those lines will never reach -3, just come extremely close to it.

Many, many snails have a one-mile race, and the time it takes for them to finish is approximately normally distributed with mean

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

a) The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 4.75%.

b) The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is 95.25%.

c) The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is 4.52%.

d) 0% probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish

e) To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most 42.32 hours.

f) The most typical 80% of snails take between 42.32 and 57.68 hours to finish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 50, \sigma = 6$

a. The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 1.67$

$Z = 1.67$ has a pvalue 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 4.75%.

b. The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 1.67$

$Z = 1.67$ has a pvalue 0.9525

The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is 95.25%.

c. The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 67 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

X = 67

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{67 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 2.83$

$Z = 2.83$ has a pvalue 0.9977

X = 60

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 1.67$

$Z = 1.67$ has a pvalue 0.9525

0.9977 - 0.9525 = 0.0452

The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is 4.52%.

d. The probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish (to four decimal places)

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 76.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{76 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 4.33$

$Z = 4.33$ has a pvalue of 1

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish

e. To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most hours.

At most the 10th percentile, which is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So it is X when Z = -1.28.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}$

$X - 50 = -1.28*6$

$X = 42.32$

To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most 42.32 hours.

f. The most typical 80% of snails take between and hours to finish.

From the 50 - 80/2 = 10th percentile to the 50 + 80/2 = 90th percentile.

10th percentile

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So X when Z = -1.28.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}$

$X - 50 = -1.28*6$

$X = 42.32$

90th percentile.

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So X when Z = 1.28

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}$

$X - 50 = 1.28*6$

$X = 57.68$

The most typical 80% of snails take between 42.32 and 57.68 hours to finish.
