Part A)

His sample only involves days during the summer (if Devin is in the northern hemisphere), which would mean that the high temperatures he'll record are likely to be higher than the average. Therefore, the sample mean he computes does not represent the average high temperature for the whole year.

----------------------------------------

Part B)

To correct his mistake, he needs to sample every day of the year. Or he could sample a few days of each month (say the first ten days of each month). That way the entire year is better represented. The other seasons of spring, fall and winter are included now.

Answer:

A) See attached for graph.

B) (-3, 0) (0, 0) (18, 0)

C) (-3, 0) ∪ [3, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Piecewise functions have <u>multiple pieces</u> of curves/lines where each piece corresponds to its definition over an <u>interval</u>.

Given piecewise function:

$g(x)=\begin{cases}x^3-9x \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \textsf{if }x < 3\\-\log_4(x-2)+2 \quad \textsf{if }x\geq 3\end{cases}$

Therefore, the function has two definitions:

$g(x)=x^3-9x \quad \textsf{when x is less than 3}$

$g(x)=-\log_4(x-2)+2 \quad \textsf{when x is more than or equal to 3}$

When <u>graphing</u> piecewise functions:

Use an open circle where the value of x is <u>not included</u> in the interval.
Use a closed circle where the value of x is <u>included</u> in the interval.
Use an arrow to show that the function <u>continues indefinitely</u>.

<u>First piece of function</u>

Substitute the endpoint of the interval into the corresponding function:

$\implies g(3)=(3)^3-9(3)=0 \implies (3,0)$

Place an open circle at point (3, 0).

Graph the cubic curve, adding an arrow at the other endpoint to show it continues indefinitely as x → -∞.

<u>Second piece of function</u>

Substitute the endpoint of the interval into the corresponding function:

$\implies g(3)=-\log_4(3-2)+2=2 \implies (3,2)$

Place an closed circle at point (3, 2).

Graph the curve, adding an arrow at the other endpoint to show it continues indefinitely as x → ∞.

See attached for graph.

The x-intercepts are where the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0.

Set the <u>first piece</u> of the function to zero and solve for x:

$\begin{aligned}g(x) & = 0\\\implies x^3-9x & = 0\\x(x^2-9) & = 0\\\\\implies x^2-9 & = 0 \quad \quad \quad \implies x=0\\x^2 & = 9\\\ x & = \pm 3\end{aligned}$

Therefore, as x < 3, the x-intercepts are (-3, 0) and (0, 0) for the first piece.

Set the <u>second piece</u> to zero and solve for x:

$\begin{aligned}\implies g(x) & =0\\-\log_4(x-2)+2 & =0\\\log_4(x-2) & =2\end{aligned}$

$\textsf{Apply log law}: \quad \log_ab=c \iff a^c=b$

$\begin{aligned}\implies 4^2&=x-2\\x & = 16+2\\x & = 18 \end{aligned}$

Therefore, the x-intercept for the second piece is (18, 0).

So the x-intercepts for the piecewise function are (-3, 0), (0, 0) and (18, 0).

From the graph from part A, and the calculated x-intercepts from part B, the function g(x) is positive between the intervals -3 < x < 0 and 3 ≤ x < 18.

Interval notation: (-3, 0) ∪ [3, 18)

klio [65]

Answer:

$P(X>9) = 0.3593$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=25, p=0.3089)$
