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.

Heather is about 167.5 cm

5’7” is equal to 67 inches
when you multiply 67 inches by 2.5 cm (which is around 1 inch) you get 167.5cm

Which statement best describes the function?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

A.) The function is Nonlinear

Step-by-step explanation:

a function is a bunch of ordered pairs of things (in our case the things will be numbers, but they can be otherwise), with the property that the first members of the pairs are all different from one another. A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x. A function assigns exactly one output to each input of a specified type. It is common to name a function either f(x) or g(x) instead of y. f(2) means that we should find the value of our function when x equals 2. Functions are used because of following reasons – a) To improve the readability of code. b) Improves the reusability of the code, same function can be used in any program rather than writing the same code from scratch. c) Debugging of the code would be easier if you use functions, as errors are easy to be traced. In mathematics and science, a nonlinear system is a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input. Nonlinear problems are of interest to engineers, biologists, physicists, mathematicians, and many other scientists because most systems are inherently nonlinear in nature. Material nonlinearity involves the nonlinear behavior of a material based on a current deformation, deformation history, rate of deformation, temperature, pressure, and so on. Examples of nonlinear material models are large strain (visco) elasto-plasticity and hyperelasticity (rubber and plastic materials). also nonlinear. adjective. If you describe something as non-linear, you mean that it does not progress or develop smoothly from one stage to the next in a logical way. Instead, it makes sudden changes, or seems to develop in different directions at the same time.

Example: Solve the linear equation 3x+9 = 2x + 18.

Example: Solve the nonlinear equation x+2y = 1 and x = y.
