Let X represent the full height of a certain species of tree. Assume that X has a normal distribution with a mean of 137.1 ft an

d a standard deviation of 3.2 ft. A tree of this type grows in my backyard, and it stands 132.3 feet tall. Find the probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter. 0.0668 My neighbor also has a tree of this type growing in her backyard, but hers stands 143.5 feet tall. Find the probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers.

Answer:

0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter.

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

\mu = 137.1, \sigma = 3.2

A tree of this type grows in my backyard, and it stands 132.3 feet tall. Find the probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 132.3. So

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

Z = \frac{132.3 - 137.1}{3.2}

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter.

My neighbor also has a tree of this type growing in her backyard, but hers stands 143.5 feet tall. Find the probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 143.5. So

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

Z = \frac{143.5 - 137.1}{3.2}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers.

remember
(x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n)

and
(xyz)^m=(x^m)(y^m)(z^m)

(m/n)^a=(m^a)/(n^a)

You want to put a 4 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 28 ft by 14 ft garden. The dirt store sells by the cubic yards. How ma
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet = 36 in

so 1 in = 1/36 yard,  1 ft = 1/3 yard.

The volume of the layer of the topsoil, is:

4 in * 28 ft * 14 ft = 4 *(1/36)*23*(1/3)*17*(1/3)  yard cubed =

(4*28*14)/(36*3*3)= 1955/324=

The store only sells increments of 1/4 = 0.25 cubic yards.

we need 6.034/0.25=

So we need to buy 25 (24 will not be enough) increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

A mathematics teacher wanted to see the correlation between test scores and
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The homework  grade, to the nearest integer, for a student with a test grade of 68 is 69.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of the linear regression equation is:

y=a+bx

Here,

<em>y</em> = dependent variable = test grade

<em>x</em> = independent variable = homework grade

<em>a</em> = intercept

<em>b</em> = slope

Compute the value of <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> as follows:

a=\frac{\sum Y\cdot \sum X^{2}-\sum X\cdot\sum XY}{n\cdot \sum X^{2}-(\sum X)^{2}}\\\\=\frac{(592\times 44909)-(591\times45227)}{(8\times44909)-(591)^{2}}\\\\=-14.316                b=\frac{n\cdot \sum XY-\sum X\cdot\sum Y}{n\cdot \sum X^{2}-(\sum X)^{2}}\\\\=\frac{(8\times 45227)-(591\592)}{(8\times44909)-(591)^{2}}\\\\=1.195

The linear regression equation that represents the set of data is:

y=-14.316+1.195x

Compute the value of <em>x</em> for <em>y</em> = 68 as follows:

y=-14.316+1.195x

68=-14.316+1.195x\\1.195x=68+14.316\\1.195x=82.316\\x=68.884\\x\approx 69

Thus, the homework  grade, to the nearest integer, for a student with a test grade of 68 is 69.
