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

Between which two integers can the square root of 15 be found?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

3 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider squares on either side of 15, that is 9 and 16, so

\sqrt{9} < \sqrt{15} < \sqrt{16}, that is

3 < \sqrt{15} < 4

7x2 +11x-6/7x2 - 10x + 3
velikii [3]

Answer:

Final result :

 x + 2

 —————

 x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   7 • 3 = 21  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  21  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -10 .

     -21    +    -1    =    -22  

     -7    +    -3    =    -10    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -7  and  -3  

                    7x2 - 7x - 3x - 3

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   7x • (x-1)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   3 • (x-1)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (7x-3)  •  (x-1)

            Which is the desired factorization

3 + root 3 *2 +root 2​
icang [17]

Answer:

6 + 3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

\sqrt{a} × \sqrt{b} ⇔ \sqrt{ab}

Given

(3 + \sqrt{3} )(2 + \sqrt{2} )

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

3(2 + \sqrt{2} ) + \sqrt{3} (2 + \sqrt{2} ) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 6 + 3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{6}
