Answer is (X = 8), because you have to add -7 to 17 which would then make it 24. Once it’s 24 you have to divide the 3 from 3x into 24 then you will get 8

The hourly median power (in decibels) of received radio signals transmitted between two cities
trasher [3.6K]

Using the lognormal and the binomial distributions, it is found that:

  • The 90th percentile of this distribution is of 136 dB.
  • There is a 0.9147 = 91.47% probability that received power for one of these radio signals is  less than 150 decibels.
  • There is a 0.0065 = 0.65% probability that for  6 of these signals, the received power is less than 150 decibels.

In a <em>lognormal </em>distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of \mu = 3.5.
  • The standard deviation is of \sigma = \sqrt{1.22}

Question 1:

The 90th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, hence <u>X when Z = 1.28.</u>

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

1.28 = \frac{\ln{X} - 3.5}{\sqrt{1.22}}

\ln{X} - 3.5 = 1.28\sqrt{1.22}

\ln{X} = 1.28\sqrt{1.22} + 3.5

e^{\ln{X}} = e^{1.28\sqrt{1.22} + 3.5}

X = 136

The 90th percentile of this distribution is of 136 dB.

Question 2:

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 150</u>, hence:

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

Z = \frac{\ln{150} - 3.5}{\sqrt{1.22}}

Z = 1.37

Z = 1.37 has a p-value of 0.9147.

There is a 0.9147 = 91.47% probability that received power for one of these radio signals is  less than 150 decibels.

Question 3:

10 signals, hence, the binomial distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

For this problem, we have that p = 0.9147, n = 10, and we want to find P(X = 6), then:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.9147)^{6}.(0.0853)^{4} = 0.0065

There is a 0.0065 = 0.65% probability that for  6 of these signals, the received power is less than 150 decibels.

Two points on the line are (0, 4) and (7, 18). Use the points to first determine the slope and y-intercept. Then write the equat
Nadya [2.5K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a.  m = 2; y intercept = (0, 4); y = 2 x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope can be found using the formula ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (18 -4)/(7 -0) = 14/7

  m = 2

The y-intercept is the first given point: (0, 4).

The equation for the line in slope-intercept form is

  y = mx + b

Here, we have m=2 and b=4, so the equation is ...

  y = 2x +4
