Answer:

a) 99.97%

b) 65%

Step-by-step explanation:

• 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

• 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

• 99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

Mean of 98.35°F and a standard deviation of 0.64°F.

a. What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures within 3 standard deviations of the mean, or between 96.43°F and 100.27°F?

μ - 3σ

98.35 - 3(0.64)

= 96.43°F

μ + 3σ.

98.35 + 3(0.64)

= 100.27°F

The approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures is 99.97%

b. What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 97 .71°F and 98.99°F?

within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

μ - σ

98.35 - (0.64)

= 97.71°F

μ + σ.

98.35 + (0.64)

= 98.99°F

Therefore, the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 97.71°F and 98.99°F is 65%

(a) If G is a finite group of even order, show that there must be an element a = e, such that a−1 = a (b) Give an example to sho
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that if a≠e and a^-1=a, then a²=e (this is an equivalent way of formulating the problem).

a) Since G has even order, |G|=2n for some positive number n. Let e be the identity element of G. Then A=G\{e} is a set with 2n-1 elements.

Now reason inductively with A by "pairing elements with its inverses":

List A as A={a1,a2,a3,...,a_(2n-1)}. If a1²=e, then we have proved the theorem.

If not, then a1^(-1)≠a1, hence a1^(-1)=aj for some j>1 (it is impossible that a^(-1)=e, since e is the only element in G such that e^(-1)=e). Reorder the elements of A in such a way that a2=a^(-1), therefore a2^(-1)=a1.

Now consider the set A\{a1,a2}={a3,a4,...,a_(2n-1)}. If a3²=e, then we have proved the theorem.

If not, then a3^(-1)≠a1, hence we can reorder this set to get a3^(-1)=a4 (it is impossible that a^(-1)∈{e,a1,a2} because inverses are unique and e^(-1)=e, a1^(-1)=a2, a2^(-1)=a1 and a3∉{e,a1,a2}.

Again, consider A\{a1,a2,a3,a4}={a5,a6,...,a_(2n-1)} and repeat this reasoning. In the k-th step, either we proved the theorem, or obtained that a_(2k-1)^(-1)=a_(2k)

After n-1 steps, if the theorem has not been proven, we end up with the set A\{a1,a2,a3,a4,...,a_(2n-3), a_(2n-2)}={a_(2n-1)}. By process of elimination, we must have that a_(2n-1)^(-1)=a_(2n-1), since this last element was not chosen from any of the previous inverses. Additionally, a_(2n1)≠e by construction. Hence, in any case, the statement holds true.

b) Consider the group (Z3,+), the integers modulo 3 with addition modulo 3. (Z3={0,1,2}). Z3 has odd order, namely |Z3|=3.

Here, e=0. Note that 1²=1+1=2≠e, and 2²=2+2=4mod3=1≠e. Therefore the conclusion of part a) does not hold

All 150 eighth grade students at a local middle school were asked how many hours they studied during the week. Each row of the t
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Row 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, we add all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers

Row 1:  

(6+5+3+0+4)/5 = 18/5 = 3.6

Row 2:  

(4+5+3+5+6)/5 = 23/5 = 4.6

Row 3:  

(7+1+4+5+3)/5 = 20/5 = 4.0

Row 4:  

(4+2+5+6+3)/5 = 20/5 = 4.0

The greatest mean , or the largest mean is 4.6  or Row 2
