The resting heart rate for an adult horse should average about µ = 47 beats per minute with a (95% of data) range from 19 to 75

KatRina [158]

Answer:

a. 0.0582 = 5.82% probability that the heart rate is less than 25 beats per minute.

b. 0.1762 = 17.62% probability that the heart rate is greater than 60 beats per minute.

c. 0.7656 = 76.56% probability that the heart rate is between 25 and 60 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical Rule:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

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.

Mean:

$\mu = 47$

(95% of data) range from 19 to 75 beats per minute.

This means that between 19 and 75, by the Empirical Rule, there are 4 standard deviations. So

$4\sigma = 75 - 19$

$4\sigma = 56$

$\sigma = \frac{56}{4} = 14$

a. What is the probability that the heart rate is less than 25 beats per minute?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 25. So

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

$Z = \frac{25 - 47}{14}$

$Z = -1.57$

$Z = -1.57$ has a p-value of 0.0582.

0.0582 = 5.82% probability that the heart rate is less than 25 beats per minute.

b. What is the probability that the heart rate is greater than 60 beats per minute?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 60. So

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

$Z = \frac{60 - 47}{14}$

$Z = 0.93$

$Z = 0.93$ has a p-value of 0.8238.

1 - 0.8238 = 0.1762

0.1762 = 17.62% probability that the heart rate is greater than 60 beats per minute.

c. What is the probability that the heart rate is between 25 and 60 beats per minute?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 60 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 25. From the previous two items, we have these two p-values. So

0.8238 - 0.0582 = 0.7656

0.7656 = 76.56% probability that the heart rate is between 25 and 60 beats per minute

Luke started a weight-loss program. The first week, he lost X pounds. the second week he lost 3/2 pounds less then 3/2 times the

irga5000 [103]

Luke started a weight-loss program.

The first week, he lost X pounds.

the second week he lost 3/2 pounds less then 3/2 times the pounds he lost the first week. so, he lost 3/2 x - 3/2

The third week, he lost 1 more pound than 3/4 of the pounds he lost the first week. so, he lost 3/4 x + 1

So, over 3 weeks he lost :

x + (3/2 x - 3/2) + (3/4 x + 1) = 13/4 x - 1/2

=========================================================

Liam started the program when Luke did.

The first week, he lost 1 pound less than 3/2 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so, he lost (3/2 x - 1)

The second week, he lost 4 pounds less than 5/2 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so ,he lost (5/2 x - 4)

The third week, he lost 1/2 more than 5/4 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so, he lost, ( 5/4 x + 1/2)

The expression for Liam's weight loss over the three weeks is =

= (3/2 x - 1) + (5/2 x - 4) + ( 5/4 x + 1/2) = 21/4 x - 9/2

=============================================================

Assuming they both lost the same number of pounds over the three weeks

So, equating the number of pounds lost by each one of them

so,

13/4 x - 1/2 = 21/4 x - 9/2

solve for x

13/4 x - 21/4 x = -9/2 + 1/2

-2x = -4

divide both sides by -2

so,

x = -4/-2 = 2

so,

The number of pounds luke lost in the fist week is 2 pounds

=============================================================

4. The number of pounds luke and liam each lost over the three weeks is

= 13/4 * 2 - 1/2 = 6 pounds

The boundary lines for the system of inequalities is given in the graph.

diamong [38]

Answer:

C)

region C

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use what is called the zero-interval test [test point] in order to figure out which portion of the graph these inequalities share:

$\displaystyle y ≤ -x + 2$

0 ≤ 2 ☑ [We shade the portion of the graph that CONTAIN THE ORIGIN, which is the bottom portion.]

$\displaystyle y ≥ 2x - 3$

0 ≥ −3 ☑ [We shade the portion of the graph that CONTAINS THE ORIGIN, which is the left side.]

So, now that we got that all cleared up, we can tell that both graphs share a region where the ORIGIN IS VISIBLE. Therefore region C matches the above inequalities.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

What's the x-intercept for number 26?

Lunna [17]

It gives function: h = -16t^2 + 40
water is when height is 0 so solve for 0= -16t^2 + 40
subtract 40 from both sides: -40 = -16t^2
divide by -16: -40/-16 = t^2
simplify: 5/2 = t^2
square root both sides: 1.58 = t

the orange hits the river in 1.58 seconds.
