Complete question is;

A safety light is designed so that the times between flashes are normally distributed with a mean of 2.50s and a standard deviation of 0.50s.

A. Find the probability that an individual time is greater than 3.00 s.

B. Find the probability that the mean for 70 randomly selected times is greater than 3.00 s.

C. Given that the light is intended to help people see an obstruction, which result is more relevant for assessing the safety of the light?

Answer:

A) 0.15866

B) 0.00000001

C) Result in part B is more important

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are given;

Mean; μ = 2.5

Standard deviation; σ = 0.5

To find the probability that an individual time is greater than 3 seconds, we will find the z-score and then find the p-value.

z = (x¯ - μ)/σ

z = (3 - 2.5)/0.5

z = 1

From z-distribution table attached, at z = 1, p(z < 1) = 0.84134

But we are looking for P(z > 1), thus;

P(z > 1) = 1 - 0.84134

P(z > 1) = 0.15866

B) now 70 are randomly selected. Thus, the z-score will be gotten from;

z = (x¯ - μ)/(σ/√n)

z = (3 - 2.5)/(0.5/√70)

z ≈ 8.37

From online calculations, we have;

P(z < 8.37) = 0.99999999

But we need P(z > 8.37).

This is:

P(z > 8.37) = 1 - P(z < 8.37)

P(z > 8.37) = 1 - 0.99999999

P(z > 8.37) = 0.00000001

C) The result in part B is more relevant because it is dealing with a sample size of 70 as against individual one in result A.

(d) The particle moves in the positive direction when its velocity has a positive sign. You know the particle is at rest when $t=0$ and $t=3$ , and because the velocity function is continuous, you need only check the sign of $v(t)$ for values on the intervals (0, 3) and (3, 6).

We have, for instance $v(1)\approx-0.91$ and $v(4)\approx0.91>0$ , which means the particle is moving the positive direction for $3$ , or the interval (3, 6).

(e) The total distance traveled is obtained by integrating the absolute value of the velocity function over the given interval:

$\displaystyle\int_0^6|v(t)|\,\mathrm dt=\int_0^3-v(t)\,\mathrm dt+\int_3^6v(t)\,\mathrm dt$

which follows from the definition of absolute value. In particular, if $x$ is negative, then $|x|=-x$ .

The total distance traveled is then 4 ft.

(g) Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so $a(t)$ is the derivative of $v(t)$ :

$a(t)=v'(t)=-\dfrac{\pi^2}9\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi t}3\right)$

Compute the acceleration at $t=4$ seconds:

$a(t)=\dfrac{\pi^2}{18}\dfrac{\rm ft}{\mathrm s^2}$

(In case you need to know, for part (i), the particle is speeding up when the acceleration is positive. So this is done the same way as part (d).)

If L=√(x^2+y^2), dx/dt =-4, dy/dt=3, find dL/dt when x=4 and y=3

yulyashka [42]

Hello,

$L=\sqrt{x^2+y^2} \\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-4\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dt}=3\\\\x=4, y=3\\\\\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial x} =\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \\\\\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial y} =\dfrac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \\\\\dfrac{dL}{dt} =\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial x}*\dfrac{dx}{dt}+\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial y}*\dfrac{dy}{dt}\\\\=-4*\frac{-4}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}} +3*\frac{3}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}\\\\=\dfrac{16}{5} +\dfrac{9}{5} \\\\=5\\$

What is the value of C-F

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The sweat chloride reference value is less than 30 mmol/L. A value of more than 60 mmol/L of chloride in the sweat is consistent with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The values of 30-60 mEq/L may represent heterozygous carriers, these carriers cannot be accurately identified with a sweat chloride test.

3.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Blake can do work in hours = 9

Blake can do a part of work in 1 hour = 1/9

Ned can paint the same room in six hours.

Ned can do a part of work in 1 hour = 1/6

They can do a part of work together in 1 hour = 1/9+1/6

= 5/18

Now they can do 5/18} part of work in hour = 1

So, they can do whole work in hours = 1/5/18

= 3.6

Hence it will take 3.6 hours to paint the room if they work together.
