Answer:

a) 0.277 = 27.7% probability that a randomly selected tyre lasts between 55,000 and 65,000 miles.

b) 0.348 = 34.8% probability that a randomly selected tyre lasts less than 48,000 miles.

c) 0.892 = 89.2% probability that a randomly selected tyre lasts at least 41,000 miles.

d) 0.778 = 77.8% probability that a randomly selected tyre has a lifetime that is within 10,000 miles of the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed distributions are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 51200, \sigma = 8200

Probabilities:

A) Between 55,000 and 65,000 miles

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 65000 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 55000. So

X = 65000

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

Z = \frac{65000 - 51200}{8200}

Z = 1.68

Z = 1.68 has a pvalue of 0.954

X = 55000

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

Z = \frac{55000 - 51200}{8200}

Z = 0.46

Z = 0.46 has a pvalue of 0.677

0.954 - 0.677 = 0.277

0.277 = 27.7% probability that a randomly selected tyre lasts between 55,000 and 65,000 miles.

B) Less than 48,000 miles

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 48000. So

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

Z = \frac{48000 - 51200}{8200}

Z = -0.39

Z = -0.39 has a pvalue of 0.348

0.348 = 34.8% probability that a randomly selected tyre lasts less than 48,000 miles.

C) At least 41,000 miles

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 41,000. So

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

Z = \frac{41000 - 51200}{8200}

Z = -1.24

Z = -1.24 has a pvalue of 0.108

1 - 0.108 = 0.892

0.892 = 89.2% probability that a randomly selected tyre lasts at least 41,000 miles.

D) A lifetime that is within 10,000 miles of the mean

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 51200 + 10000 = 61200 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 51200 - 10000 = 412000. So

X = 61200

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

Z = \frac{61200 - 51200}{8200}

Z = 1.22

Z = 1.22 has a pvalue of 0.889

X = 41200

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

Z = \frac{41200 - 51200}{8200}

Z = -1.22

Z = -1.22 has a pvalue of 0.111

0.889 - 0.111 = 0.778

0.778 = 77.8% probability that a randomly selected tyre has a lifetime that is within 10,000 miles of the mean

Assume the population of human body temperatures has a mean of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit as is commonly believed. Assume the stand
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The probability that the mean of a sample of 106 randomly selected humans is lower than 98.5°F is 4.85%

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Z score is given as:

z = (raw score - mean) ÷ (standard deviation/√sample size)

Given mean of 98.6°F,  standard deviation is 0.62°F, sample size = 106

For x < 98.5:

z = (98.5 - 98.6) ÷ (0.62÷√106) = -1.66

P(z < -1.66) = 0.0485

The probability that the mean of a sample of 106 randomly selected humans is lower than 98.5°F is 4.85%

The degree of the function f(x) = -(x + 1)2(2x - 3)(x + 2)2 is<br> , and its y-intercept is
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Degree = 5

Y intercept = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

our function is given as

f(x)=-(x+1)^2 \cdot (2x-3) \cdot (x+2)^2

in the above polynomial our variable is x and it is being multiplied for 5 times. Hence the probable degree for the above polynomial is 5

In order to find the y intercept , we need to put x=0 in f(x) as y intercept is the point at which the function graphically meets y axis and where x = 0

Hence

f(0)=-(0+1)^2 \cdot (2(0)-3) \cdot (0+2)^2

f(0)=-(1)^2 \cdot (0-3) \cdot (2)^2

f(0)=-1 \cdot (-3) \cdot 4

f(0)=3 \cdot 4

f(0)=3 \times 4

f(0)=12

Hence the y intercept is 12 units
