A study was made of seat belt use among children who were involved in car crashes that caused them to be hospitalized. It was fo

und that children not wearing any restraints had hospital stays with a mean of 7.37 days and a standard deviation of 1.25 days with an approximately normal distribution. (a) Find the probability that their hospital stay is from 5 to 6 days, rounded to five decimal places. .10756 (b) Find the probability that their hospital stay is greater than 6 days, rounded to five decimal places.

Answer:

a) P(5

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1.90

And using the norma standard distribution or excel we got:

P(-1.90

b) P(X>6) =P(Z> \frac{6-7.37}{1.25}) = P(Z>-1.096)

And using the complement rule we got:

P(Z>-1.096) =1-P(Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(7.37,1.25)  

Where \mu=7.37 and \sigma=1.25

We are interested on this probability

P(5

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(5

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1.90

And using the norma standard distribution or excel we got:

P(-1.90

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X>6)

And we can use the z score and we got:

P(X>6) =P(Z> \frac{6-7.37}{1.25}) = P(Z>-1.096)

And using the complement rule we got:

P(Z>-1.096) =1-P(Z

What is (12-2i) (5+3i) multiplied?
Ilya [14]
= 12*5 + 12*3i - 5*2i - 6i^2    (remember that i^2 = -1) so:-

= 60 +26i - 6*(-1)

= 60 + 26i + 6

= 66 + 26i

Suppose that you have just been hired at an annual salary of $85,000 and expect to receive an annual raise of 6% per year. What
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

$125,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount (A) = ?

Principal (P) = $85,000

Rate (r) = 6%

Time (t) = 8 years

Simple interest formula;

A = P(1 + rt)

A = $85,000(1 + 0.48)

A = $125,800

Find the area of the circle when C = 4π. Give your answer in terms of π.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

12.56

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the circumference will be 4(3.14), which is 12.56. So, now you can solve for area. <em>By the way, the formula is: C = pi(d) (Just saying)</em>

Anyways, A = pi(r)2. So, with the radius being half of the diameter, you will cut 4 in half. You are now ready to solve.

A = 3.14 (2) (2), which is 12.56 .

Hope this helps! :)
