Answer:
a)
And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:
b)
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel and we got:
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 time for the step 1 and Y the time for the step 2, we define the random variable R= X+Y for the total time and the distribution for R assuming independence between X and Y is:
Where
and
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:
Part b
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel and we got:
Answer:
A. Slope is -12 feet per second
B. Yes, it is constant.
<u>Skills needed: Linear Equations, Substitution and Division</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Solving Part A (we need to find the slope):
- The slope is
-->
,
,
, and
are all values from the table. We know that the left column is the x-values, and the right column is the y-values as that is the conventional way of depicting them.
2) Using the y-values of 1150 and 1090, and their corresponding x-values (5 and 10 respectively), we can get the slope:
-
==>
==>
==>
, so the slope is -12.
==================================================================
1) Part B (analysis)
We can see that no matter what 2 y-values and their corresponding x values we use, the slope always is the same. This means that the rate of change is constant.
The equation that is equivalent is -2+(-7).
Y varies directly as x: y=kx, k is a constant.
when x=7, y=21, so we know k=3
therefore, the equation is y=3x
