Assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of beats per minute and a standard deviation of b

eats per minute.
a. If 1 adult female is randomly​ selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is between beats per minute and beats per minute.
b. If 4 adult females are selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean between 68 beats per minute and 76 beats per minute.
c. Why can the normal distribution be used in heartbeat even the sample side does not exceed 30?

Answer:

a) This is the p-value of Z when X = A subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = B.

b) P-value of Z when X = 76 subtracted by the p-value of X = 68.

c) Because the underlying distribution(pulse rates of females) is normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

Mean \mu, standard deviation \sigma.

standard deviation of beats per minute.

a. If 1 adult female is randomly​ selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is between A beats per minute and B beats per minute.

This is the p-value of Z when X = A subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = B.

b. If 4 adult females are selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean between 68 beats per minute and 76 beats per minute.

Sample of 4 means that we have n = 4, s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{4}} = 0.5\sigma

The formula for the z-score is:

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

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{0.5\sigma}

Z = 2\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

This probability is the p-value of Z when X = 76 subtracted by the p-value of X = 68.

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in heartbeat even the sample side does not exceed 30?

Because the underlying distribution(pulse rates of females) is normal.

A rectangular sand box has a length of 5 1/3 feet and a width of 3 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter in mixed number?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: 18 1/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the rectangular sand box has a length of 5 1/3 feet and a width of 3 3/4 feet.

The perimeter would be calculated as:

= 2(length + width)

= 2( 5 1/3 + 3 3/4)

= 2( 5 4/12 + 3 9/12)

= 2( 8 13/12)

= 2 (9 1/12)

= 2 × 9 1/12

= 2 × 109/12

= 218/12

= 18 2/12

= 18 1/6 feet

Find the parabola whose minimum is at (−12,−2)(−12,−2) rather than the point given in the book. the parabola's equation is y=x2+
Hoochie [10]
The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is given by

y-k=a(x-h)^2

where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Given that the vertex of the parabola is (-12, -2), the equation of the parabola is given by

y-(-2)=a(x-(-12))^2 \\  \\ y+2=a(x+12)^2=a(x^2+24x+144)=ax^2+24ax+144a \\  \\ y=ax^2+24ax+114a-2 \\  \\ y=x^2+24x+ \frac{114a-2}{a}

For a = 1,

y=x^2+24x+112

<span>The parabola whose minimum is at (−12,−2) is given by the equation y=x^2+ax+b, where a = 24 and b = 112.</span>
