Answer:

$E(119.5)= 730m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$E(t)= 1200(120-t)+520(120-t)^2$

Required

Determine E(119.5)

$E(t)= 1200(120-t)+520(120-t)^2$

Simply substitute 119.5 for t

$E(119.5)= 1200(120-119.5)+520(120-119.5)^2$

Evaluate the expressions in bracket

$E(119.5)= 1200(0.5)+520(0.5)^2$

Solve 0.5²

$E(119.5)= 1200 * 0.5+520*0.25$

$E(119.5)= 600+130$

$E(119.5)= 730$

Hence;

$E(119.5)= 730m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(99.9,30)$

Where $\mu=99.9$ and $\sigma=30$

We select a random sample of n=36. And from the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu =99.9 , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{30}{\sqrt{38}}=4.87)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(\bar X$

$=P(Z$

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

$P(98$

$=P(\frac{98-99.9}{\frac{30}{\sqrt{38}}}$

And we can find this probability on this way:

$P(-0.39$

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-0.39$

Part c

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(\bar X$

$P(\bar X$

Part d

For this case we want this probability:

$P(93$

$=P(\frac{93-99.9}{\frac{30}{\sqrt{38}}}$

And we can find this probability on this way:

$P(-1.42$

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-1.42$

If Tom brushes his teeth 1/12 hour a day. how many minutes does Tom brush his teeth in 2 weeks? What units of time do you need t

lilavasa [31]

1/12 hour = 5 minutes, 2 weeks is 14 days, so 5*15 = the amount of time he brushes his teeth so you would need to change from hours to minutes
