Answer:

a. The sample size is approximately 97 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of adults surveyed, n = 174

The lowest value of the pulse rate = 39 bpm

The highest value of the pulse rate = 111 bpm

The level of confidence used for determining the sample size = 90%

The given sample mean = 3 pm of the population mean

a. The range rule of thumb states that the standard deviation is approximately one quarter (1/4) of the range

The range = 111 bpm - 39 bpm = 72 bpm

Therefore, the standard deviation, σ = 72 bpm/4 = 18 bpm

The sample size, 'N', is given as follows;

$N = \dfrac{z^2 \cdot p \cdot q}{e^2}$

Where;

N = The sample size

z = The confidence level, 90% (z-score at 90% = 1.645)

p·q = σ² = 18² = 324

e² = 3² = 9

$N = \dfrac{1.645^2 \times 324}{3^2} = 97.4169$

Therefore the appropriate sample size, N ≈ 97 adults.

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation.

Arada [10]

Answer:

x= - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

- 8(x +7) = 16
-8x - 56 = 16
-8x = 16 + 56
-8x = 72
x = 72 ÷ (-8)
x = -9

(c). It is well known that the rate of flow can be found by measuring the volume of blood that flows past a point in a given tim

aleksklad [387]

(i) Given that

$V(R) = \displaystyle \int_0^R 2\pi K(R^2r-r^3) \, dr$

when R = 0.30 cm and v = (0.30 - 3.33r²) cm/s (which additionally tells us to take K = 1), then

$V(0.30) = \displaystyle \int_0^{0.30} 2\pi \left(0.30-3.33r^2\right)r \, dr \approx \boxed{0.0425}$

and this is a volume so it must be reported with units of cm³.

In Mathematica, you can first define the velocity function with

v[r_] := 0.30 - 3.33r^2

and additionally define the volume function with

V[R_] := Integrate[2 Pi v[r] r, {r, 0, R}]

Then get the desired volume by running V[0.30].

(ii) In full, the volume function is

$\displaystyle \int_0^R 2\pi K(R^2-r^2)r \, dr$

Compute the integral:

$V(R) = \displaystyle \int_0^R 2\pi K(R^2-r^2)r \, dr$

$V(R) = \displaystyle 2\pi K \int_0^R (R^2r-r^3) \, dr$

$V(R) = \displaystyle 2\pi K \left(\frac12 R^2r^2 - \frac14 r^4\right)\bigg_0^R$

$V(R) = \displaystyle 2\pi K \left(\frac{R^4}2- \frac{R^4}4\right)$

$V(R) = \displaystyle \boxed{\frac{\pi KR^4}2}$

In M, redefine the velocity function as

v[r_] := k*(R^2 - r^2)

(you can't use capital K because it's reserved for a built-in function)

Then run

Integrate[2 Pi v[r] r, {r, 0, R}]

This may take a little longer to compute than expected because M tries to generate a result to cover all cases (it doesn't automatically know that R is a real number, for instance). You can make it run faster by including the Assumptions option, as with

Integrate[2 Pi v[r] r, {r, 0, R}, Assumptions -> R > 0]

which ensures that R is positive, and moreover a real number.
