4. Dean Pelton wants to perform calculations to impress the accreditation consultants, but upon asking for information about GPA

s at Greendale Community College, Chang only tells Pelton that the GPAs are distributed with a probability density function f(x) = D(2 + e −x ), 2 ≤ x ≤ 4 where D was some unknown "Duncan" constant. How many student records have to be retrieved so that the probability that the average GPA is less than 2.3 is less than 4 percent?

Answer:

the minimum records to be retrieved by using Chebysher - one sided inequality is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that n should represent the number of the students

SO, \bar x can now be the sample mean of number of students  in GPA's

To obtain n such that P( \bar x \leq 2.3 ) \leq .04

⇒ P( \bar x \geq 2.3 ) \geq .96

However ;

E(x) = \int\limits^4_2 Dx (2+e^{-x} ) 4x = D  \\ \\ = D(e^{-x} (e^xx^2 - x-1 ) ) ^D_2 = 12.314 D

E(x^2) = D\int\limits^4_2 (2+e^{-x})dx \\ \\ = \dfrac{D}{3}[e^{-4} (2e^x x^3 -3x^2 -6x -6)]^4__2}}= 38.21 \ D

Similarly;

D\int\limits^4_2(2+ e^{-x}) dx = 1

⇒ D*(2x-e^{-x} ) |^4_2 = 1

⇒ D*4.117 = 1

⇒ D= \dfrac{1}{4.117}

\mu = E(x) = 2.991013 ; \\ \\ E(x^2) = 9.28103

∴  Var (x)  = E(x^2) - E^2(x) \\ \\  = .3348711

Now; P(\bar \geq 2.3) = P( \bar x - 2.991013 \geq 2.3 - 2.991013) \\ \\ = P( \omega  \geq .691013)  \ \ \ \  \ \ \ \ \ \ (x = E(\bar x ) - \mu)

Using Chebysher one sided inequality ; we have:

P(\omega \geq -.691013) \geq \dfrac{(.691013)^2}{Var ( \omega) +(.691013)^2}

So; (\omega = \bar x - \mu)

⇒ E(\omega ) = 0 \\ \\ Var (\omega ) = \dfrac{Var (x_i)}{n}

∴ P(\omega \geq .691013) \geq \dfrac{(.691013)^2}{\frac{.3348711}{n}+(691013)^2}

To determine n; such that ;

\dfrac{(.691013)^2}{\frac{.3348711}{n}+(691013)^2} \geq 0.96 \\ \\ \\ (.691013)^2(1-.96) \geq \dfrac{-3348711*.96}{n}

⇒ n \geq \dfrac{.3348711*.96}{.04*(.691013)^2}

n \geq 16.83125

Thus; we can conclude that; the minimum records to be retrieved by using Chebysher - one sided inequality is 17.

−10x − 5y ≥ 15 x + y ≤ −1 what are the quadrants containing a solution to the above system of linear inequalities.
Paraphin [41]
Let's convert these inequalities to Slope Intercept Form so that we can graph them easily.

<span>−10x − 5y ≥ 15
Add 10x to both sides.
-5y </span>≥ 10x + 15
Divide both sides by -5 and flip the inequality sign.
y <span>≤ -2x - 3

</span><span>x + y ≤ − 1
Subtract x from both sides.
</span><span>y ≤ -x − 1

When graphed, the solutions lay in Quadrants II, III, and IV. You can see this in the picture I've included.</span>

3. Consider the following information.P(Z) = 0.73P(A) = 0.25P(Z and A) = 0.15Part A: Determine P(Z|A).Part B: Determine P(AZ).I
krok68 [10]

Ok, so:

For Part A, we have: P(Z|A)=P(Z and A)/P(A)

And if we replace, we got:

P(Z|A) = (0.15)/(0.25) and this is equal to 0.6.

For Part B, we have: P(A|Z)=P(Z and A)/P(Z)

P(A|Z) = (0.15)/(0.73) and this is equal to 0.205.
