The function v(r) 4/3 pie r to the 3rd = can be used to find the volume of air inside a basketball given its radius. What does V
umka21 [38]

Answer:

  the volume of the basketball when the radius is r

Step-by-step explanation:

V(r) is a function name V and argument list (r). Often the letter of the function name is a reminder of what the function computes. Here, V is chosen as the name because it computes Volume. The function uses r (for radius) as its independent variable. That is why r is listed in parentheses next to the function name.

So, V(r) represents a function that computes the volume of a sphere with radius r.

The number of chocolate chips in a bag of chocolate chip cookies is approximately normally distributed with mean of 1262 and a s
Andrew [12]

Answer:

a) 1186

b) Between 1031 and 1493.

c) 160

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.

Normally distributed with mean of 1262 and a standard deviation of 118.

This means that \mu = 1262, \sigma = 118

a) Determine the 26th percentile for the number of chocolate chips in a bag. ​

This is X when Z has a p-value of 0.26, so X when Z = -0.643.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.643 = \frac{X - 1262}{118}

X - 1262 = -0.643*118

X = 1186

(b) Determine the number of chocolate chips in a bag that make up the middle 95% of bags.

Between the 50 - (95/2) = 2.5th percentile and the 50 + (95/2) = 97.5th percentile.

2.5th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.025, so X when Z = -1.96.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.96 = \frac{X - 1262}{118}

X - 1262 = -1.96*118

X = 1031

97.5th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.975, so X when Z = 1.96.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.96 = \frac{X - 1262}{118}

X - 1262 = 1.96*118

X = 1493

Between 1031 and 1493.

​(c) What is the interquartile range of the number of chocolate chips in a bag of chocolate chip​ cookies?

Difference between the 75th percentile and the 25th percentile.

25th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.675 = \frac{X - 1262}{118}

X - 1262 = -0.675*118

X = 1182

75th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.75, so X when Z = 0.675.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.675 = \frac{X - 1262}{118}

X - 1262 = 0.675*118

X = 1342

IQR:

1342 - 1182 = 160
