The average life of individual is 70 years. With a standard deviation of 5.5 years. Assume that the lives of these individuals i

s normally distributed. a. Find the probability that a mean life of a random sample of 5 such turtles falls between 60 and 80 years. b. Find the mean data value that separates the top 10% from the rest of the means computed from a random sample of size 5.

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

mean (μ) = 70 years, standard deviation (σ)= 5.5 years.

a) The z score measures how many standard deviation a raw score is above or below the mean. It is given as:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}, for a sample size of n, the z score is: z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }

Given a sample of 5 turtles, we have to calculate the z score for x = 60 and x = 80.

For x = 60:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }=\frac{60-70}{5.5/\sqrt{5} } =-4.07

For x = 80:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }=\frac{80-70}{5.5/\sqrt{5} } =4.07

The probability that a mean life of a random sample of 5 such turtles falls between 60 and 80 years = P(60 < x < 80) = P(-4.07 < z < 4.07) = P(z < 4.07) - P(z < -4.07) = 1 - 0 = 1 = 100%

b) The z score that corresponds to top 10% is -1.28.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }\\\\-1.28=\frac{x-70}{5.5/\sqrt{5} }\\ x-70=-3\\x=70-3\\x=67\ years

Evaluate p2m−(np+r) if m=−32 , n=2 , p=−8 , and r=4
harkovskaia [24]
When you evaluate the equation you plug in the numbers or replace the variables with the numbers it’s giving you.
-8(2)(-32) - 2(-8) + 4
-16(-32) - 16 + 4
512 + 20
= 532
Hope this helps!

MODELING REAL LIFE A green roof is like a traditional roof but covered with plants. Plants used for a green roof cost $0.75 per
Fantom [35]

Answer:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the roof be square shaped

Area of the roof = L²

L is the side length of the roof

Given

L = 40ft

Area of the roof = 40²

Area of the roof = 1600ft²

If plants used for a green roof cost $0.75 per square foot, this means

1 ft² = $0.75

Let the cost needed to cover both sides of the roof be y, hence;

1600ft² = y

Divide both expressions

1/1600 = 0.75/y

y × 1 = 0.75×1600.

y = 0.75×1600

y = 1200

Hence it will cost $1200 to cover both sides of the roof

Answer:

no. i*i = -1

2i*3i=-6

now if they meant complex numbers the answer is still no

(2+4i)(2-4i) = 4-8i+8i-16 = -12
