Answer:
0.3991
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the weights of the fish in a certain lake are normally distributed with a mean of 18 lb and a standard deviation of 18 .
we know that when a sample is taken mean would be the same but std error would vary
when a sample of size 15 is taken we have
Standard error of sample =
the probability that the mean weight will be between 16.6 and 21.6 lb
So we get the required probability as
0.3991
9.03 divided by 899.8 is closest to a.0.01
Answer:
The formation of the equation is odd, but I assume it's supposed to be:
4k - 10k = -8k
-6k = -8k
-6k + 8k = -8k + 8k
2k = 0
=
k = 0
You cant solve for x unless you have an equals sign to solve for.
Answer:
- increasing: (π/2, 3π/2)
- decreasing: [0, π/2) ∪ (3π/2, 2π]
- minimum: -16 at x=π/2
- maximum: 16 at x=3π/2
Step-by-step explanation:
If all you want are answers to the questions, a graphing calculator can provide them quickly and easily. (see attached)

If you need an algebraic solution, you need to find the zeros of the derivative.
f'(x) = -16cos(x)sin(x) -16cos(x) = -16cos(x)(sin(x) +1)
The product is zero where the factors are zero, at x=π/2 and x=3π/2.
These are the turning points, where the function changes from decreasing to increasing and vice versa.
(sin(x)+1) is non-negative everywhere, so the sign of the derivative is the opposite of the sign of the cosine function. This tells us the function f(x) is increasing on the interval (π/2, 3π/2), and decreasing elsewhere (except where the derivative is zero).
The function local extrema will be where the derivative is zero, so at f(π/2) (minimum) and f(3π/2) (maximum). We already know that cos(x) is zero there, so the extremes match those of -16sin(x).
