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.

Answer:

A and B are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

if x:y is 1:3 then x is 1 and y is 3

1/3 of 3 is 1 so A is correct

3/4(1+3) is 3 so B is correct

But

1/4 × 3 is not 1 so C is not correct

3/4 ×1 is not 3 so D isn't correct

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

\frac{3}{8}=\frac{a}{2}\\\\\frac{3}{8}*2=a\\\\a=\frac{3}{4}\\\\\\\frac{3}{8}=\frac{15}{b}\\\\  3*b=15*8\\\\b=\frac{15*8}{3}\\\\b=5*8\\\\b=40
