Use mulipation to find 2 equivalent fractions

laila [671]

1/2 is equivalent to 2/4 because,

2(1/2) = 2/4

So as you can see if you multiply the numerator(top) and the denominator(bottom) by the same number, you get an equivalent fraction! In my example you can see that I multiplied both by 2.

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of days and a standard deviation of days. a. Find the probabilit

Alik [6]

Answer:

a) The probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer is given by 1 subtracted by the p-value of $Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

b) We have to find X when Z has a p-value of $\frac{a}{100}$ , and X is given by: $X = \mu - Z\sigma$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Mean $\mu$ , standard deviation $\sigma$

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer.

The probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer is given by 1 subtracted by the p-value of $Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest a%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

We have to find X when Z has a p-value of $\frac{a}{100}$ , and X is given by: $X = \mu - Z\sigma$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

Answer:

TO FIND :-

Length of all missing sides.

FORMULAES TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-

$\sin \theta = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \theta}{Hypotenuse}$
$\cos \theta = \frac{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \theta}{Hypotenuse}$
$\tan \theta = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \theta}{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \theta}$

SOLUTION :-

1) θ = 16°

Length of side opposite to θ = 7

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \sin 16 = \frac{7}{x}$

$=> \frac{7}{x} = 0.27563......$

$=> x = \frac{7}{0.27563....} = 25.39568.....$ ≈ 25.3

2) θ = 29°

Length of side opposite to θ = 6

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \sin 29 = \frac{6}{x}$

$=> \frac{6}{x} = 0.48480......$

$=> x = \frac{6}{0.48480....} = 12.37599.....$ ≈ 12.3

3) θ = 30°

Length of side opposite to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 11

$=> \sin 30 = \frac{x}{11}$

$=> \frac{x}{11} = 0.5$

$=> x = 0.5 \times 11 = 5.5$

4) θ = 43°

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 12

$=> \cos 43 = \frac{x}{12}$

$=> \frac{x}{12} = 0.73135......$

$=> x = 12 \times 0.73135.... = 8.77624....$ ≈ 8.8

5) θ = 55°

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 6

$=> \cos 55 = \frac{x}{6}$

$=> \frac{x}{6} = 0.57357......$

$=> x = 6 \times 0.57357.... = 3.44145....$ ≈ 3.4

6) θ = 73°

Length of side adjacent to θ = 8

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \cos 73 = \frac{8}{x}$

$=> \frac{8}{x} = 0.29237......$

$=> x = \frac{8}{0.29237.....} = 27.36242.....$ ≈ 27.3

7) θ = 69°

Length of side opposite to θ = 12

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

$=> \tan 69 = \frac{12}{x}$

$=> \frac{12}{x} = 2.60508......$

$=> x = \frac{12}{2.60508....} = 4.60636....$ ≈ 4.6

8) θ = 20°

Length of side opposite to θ = 11

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

$=> \tan 20 = \frac{11}{x}$

$=> \frac{11}{x} = 0.36397......$

$=> x = \frac{11}{0.36397....} =30.22225....$ ≈ 30.2

Find the numbers b such that the average value of f(x) = 7 + 10x − 9x2 on the interval [0, b] is equal to 8.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The numbers $b$ such that the average value of $f(x) = 7 +10\cdot x - 9\cdot x^{2}$ on the interval [0, b] is equal to 8 are $b_{1} \approx 1.434$ and $b_{2} \approx 0.232$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean value of function within a given interval is given by the following integral:

$\bar f = \frac{1}{b-a}\cdot \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx$

If $f(x) = 7 +10\cdot x - 9\cdot x^{2}$ , $a = 0$ , $b = b$ and $\bar f = 8$ , then:

$\frac{1}{b}\cdot \int\limits^b_0 {7+10\cdot x -9\cdot x^{2}} \, dx = 8$

$\frac{7}{b}\int\limits^b_0 \, dx + \frac{10}{b} \int\limits^b_0 {x}\, dx - \frac{9}{b} \int\limits^b_0 {x^{2}}\, dx = 8$

$\left(\frac{7}{b} \right)\cdot b + \left(\frac{10}{b} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{b^{2}}{2} \right)-\left(\frac{9}{b} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{b^{3}}{3} \right) = 8$

$7 + 5\cdot b - 3\cdot b^{2} = 8$

$3\cdot b^{2}-5\cdot b +1 = 0$

The roots of this polynomial are determined by the Quadratic Formula:

$b_{1} \approx 1.434$ and $b_{2} \approx 0.232$ .

The numbers $b$ such that the average value of $f(x) = 7 +10\cdot x - 9\cdot x^{2}$ on the interval [0, b] is equal to 8 are $b_{1} \approx 1.434$ and $b_{2} \approx 0.232$ .
