For the function y=-1+6 cos(2pi/7(x-5)) what is the minimum value?

Ad libitum [116K]

Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:
$\frac{2\pi}{7(x-5)^{2}}\sin{\frac{2\pi}{7(x-5)}}}$
which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.

I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.

If, however, the function is
$-1+\cos{\frac{2\pi}{7}(x-5)}}$
Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:
$\sin{\frac{2\pi}{7}(x-5)}}=0$
which gives:
$x=5$ or $8.5$

We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,
$x=8.5\pm7n$ , for $n=0,\pm 1,\pm 2, ...$

Systolic Blood Pressure Assume that the mean systolic blood pressure of normal adults is 120 millimeters of mercury and the stan

liq [111]

Answer:

0.1425 = 14.25% probability that the individual's pressure will be between 119.4 and 121.4mmHg.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 120, \sigma = 5.6$
